An airline should consider the number of seats or size of aircraft, when it composes fleet or selects a type of aircraft for some routes. There are two major factors considered for this choice problem under the assumption that the objectives of an airline is a profit maximization: the operating cost and revenue from the aircraft operated. This research tries to solve the problem of aircraft size selection by airline. The study applies four steps to get optimal choice of aircraft size: (1) cost analysis for the relationship between airline operation cost and aircraft size: (2) market share and revenue analysis: (3) flight segment-level analysis, based on the derived cost, demand and revenue functions: and (4) network-level analysis to see how airlines make choice of aircraft size systematically at a network level. An airline can accommodate the increasing air travel demand by either increasing operation frequency, or increasing aircraft size that is represented by seat capacity, or both. Airport runway capacity and productivity depend on the size of aircraft used at airport. This paper presents the understanding of how airlines make decisions on the size of aircraft to operate, how they will adjust their choices when airport capacity is constrained, and how public regulation such as policy for landing fees could influence airlines' aircraft choice.

In this investigation, we observed surface morphology and porosity of a macroporous adsorbent made of Na-bentonite and Ca-bentonite as structure formation materials and grounded waste paper as macropore forming material for the development of a permeable reactive barrier to remove heavy metals in groundwater. Therefore, we selected minerals having higher cation exchange capacity among 2:1 clay minerals and other industrial minerals because sintering can significantly influence cation exchange capacity, resulting in drastic decrease in removal of heavy metals. The results showed that the increasing sintering temperature drastically decreased CEC by less than 10 % of the indigenous CEC carried by the selected minerals. One axial compressibility test results showed that the highest value was obtained from 5% newspaper waste pulp for both structure formation materials of Na-bentonite and Ca-bentonite although there were not much difference in bulk density among treatments. The pore formation influenced by sintering temperature and period contributes removal of heavy metals passing through the sintered macroporous media having different water retention capacity.

Based on the consideration of the hourly patterns of the electricity power consumption, this study predicted the effectiveness of hybrid power generation system, which is composed with wind power generator and photovoltaic generator. And this case study is performed at Konrido, which is a affiliated island of Kyeongsangnam-do. As the results, it is obvious that it is not efficient to cover the whole electricity power consumption only with any single power generating system, because the hourly patterns of electricity power consumption, wind power generation and photovoltaic generation are quite different. And because the wind is being through almost 24 hours, it is also found out that wind power generating system with storage battery is the most efficient combination for this case study.

The market of the municipal wasetewater treatment plant (MWTP) operation is expanding across the world including Korea. The contracting-out system was introduced for the effective operation of MWTPs. However, an improvement of the contracting-out system of MWTP has been continuously required. This research investigated current operational status of MWTPs in Korea, to suggest the improvement of the cost effective MWTP operation to promote the contracting-out system of MWTP operation. Results showed that lower operational costs of MWTP were lower in larger MWTPs than in smaller MWTPs. Overall, MWTPs operated by a public enterprise showed lower operational costs than those operated by government agencies and private enterprises. Among the MWTPs similar in their treatment capacity, treatment process and operation period, MWTPs operated by private enterprises showed the lowest operational cost. According to the survey, managers and operators of MWTPs emphasized the importance of improvement on the methods of selecting operating agencies and estimating operationing costs. The results of this study should be useful as important supporting data to promote the contracting-out system for the MWTP operation.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of the roof mounted air-conditioning system using electric driven scroll compressor for zero emission vehicles. This air conditioner with air source was used R-134a as a refrigerant and tested under various operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount and indoor temperature, and compressor frequencies. Experimental results revealed that at all tested compressor frequencies, heat transfer rate of the evaporator increased and the cooling COP increased with the indoor temperature. In addition, the heat transfer rate of the evaporator was over 25.0kW sufficient for the cooling loads of an electric bus.

Most of countries start to restrict the emission gases of vehicles especially CO2 because of the global warming. Many vehicle companies including Toyota have launched various HEVs to satisfy the restriction laws and to improve the vehicle's efficiency. However, development for heavy-duty hybrid system is not plentiful rather than the passenger car. In this study, we choose the optimal size of engine, motor and battery for heavy-duty hybrid systems using dynamic programming. Also we analyze the correlation of the system's cost and efficiency because the added cost of vehicle to make the hybrid system is very important factor for the manufacturing companies. Finally, this study suggests a method to choose the appropriate system components size considering its performance and the cost. With this method, it is possible to select the component size for various systems.

Recently, due to evolving cloud computing technology, we can easily and transparently utilize both local computing resource and remote computing resource in real life. Especially, enhancing smart device technologies and network infrastructures promote an increase of needs to share files between local smart devices and cloud storages. However, since smart devices have a limited storage space, storing files on cloud storage causes a starvation problem of local storage. It means that users can face a storage-lack problem even a cloud storage service provide a huge file storing space. In this research, we propose a method to manage files between smart devices and cloud storages. Our approach calculate file usage pattern based on recently used date, and then this approach determines local files being migrated. As a result, our approach is sufficient for handling data synchronization between big data storage farm and local thin client which contains limited storage space.

Many researches has been conducted as extreme rainfall in hydrology and extreme rainfall analysis is not proper for determination of CSOs treatment capacity. In this study, runoff is calculated by tranformation from rainfall to runoff according to Interevent Time Definition. The capacity of sewage treatment plant is designed by 3 times of DWF(Dry Weather Flow) and the efficiency of present sewage treatment plant is very low becauseat at present. Also, The sewage treatment plant can not control CSOs. In this research, the pollution load is calculated by EMC(Event Mean Concentration) and pollution concetration of total runoff is a standard deciding suitablility of present sewage treatment plant. Finally, CSOs treatment capacity is determinated considering pollution load.

전세계적으로 집중호우, 홍수, 가뭄 등 기상이변이 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 홍수기와 갈수기가 뚜렷해지고, 이에 따라 수자원 확보에 애로사항이 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 정부는 "물의 재이용촉진 및 지원에 관한 법률"을 재정하여 효율적인 빗물 관리에 주력을 하고 있으나, 체계적인 빗물관리는 미흡한 실정이다. 즉 수자원을 효율적으로 보관하고 관리할 시스템 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 재배 작물에 대한 농업용수 확보를 위한 빗물저류조를 시공 및 모니터링을 하기 위하여 먼저 보은군 회인면 오동리의 기상 및 수문특성 조사를 실시하였고, 확률강우량을 산정하기 위해 보은기상관측소의 지속기간별 강우 자료를 수집하여 확률분포를 선정하고 매개변수를 산정하였다. 이에 따른 적합도 검정 결과 최적 확률분포형을 산정하였다. 분석한 결과를 통해 대상지역의 집수되는 면적에 내리는 유출량을 산정하였으며, 집수되는 유형은 지붕으로서 그에 대한 면적은 $120.0m^2$로 측정되었고, 지붕에 대한 유출계수로서 0.9의 값을 적용하였다. 지붕에서 집수되는 유출량의 값을 산정하였으며, 6월의 50년 빈도에서 부족한 9.4톤은 집수된 유출량으로 보충할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 50년 빈도의 10톤을 저류할 빗물은 저류조에서 30%의 여유율을 두어 13톤으로 저류조를 설계하는 것이 적정할 것으로 판단된다. 현재 빗물자원의 대부분은 바다로 유입되어 소모되거나, 하수로 유입되어 불필요한 고도처리공정이 진행되고, 하수처리장 용량에 과부하를 발생시키는 등 막대한 예산이 투입되고 있다. 갈수기시 농가에서 용수를 확보하기 위한 용수 운반장치 등 기반구축과 인력 부족으로 정상적인 용수공급의 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 빗물자원을 용수로서 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 시스템의 구축이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, the strength stability of an LPG mini tank with a storage capacity of about 250 kg was analyzed by FEM. According to the results of the FEM analysis, it is preferable that the corner radius of the LPG mini tank having a storage capacity of 250 kg is designed to be 175 to 205 mm. Generally, the larger the corner radius of the end plate of the gas storage tank, the higher the safety of the strength, but the volume or capacity of the tank is reduced. Therefore, it is important to derive the optimum design data. Further, in order to securely design the strength of the gas tank, the thickness of the tank is designed to be thick. However, when the thick steel sheet is used, the material and the transportation costs are increased. The result shows that it is preferable to select the optimum thickness of the steel sheet from 4.5 to 5.5 mm. Using the level gauge type of column on the central axis of the gas tank, the safety strength of the LPG tank can be enhanced as much as twice, compared with the tank of the existing level gauge to measure the liquid level by piercing the side wall of the tank.
