The fast changes of global financial environment in recent years increase the risk of trade settlement. This means are required to minimize risk of non payment and to maximize secure payment. Open Account trade accounts for 90% of global trade flows. The O/A system means that the goods, along with all the necessary documents, are shipped and delivered before payment is due, usually within a time frame from 30 to 90 days. Meanwhile, Korean small and medium-sized export enterprises are compelled to globalize their activities owing to limitation and competitiveness of domestic marketplace. To keep face with the global trade settlement system and to support globalization of small and medium-sized export firms, the BPO together with Supply Chain Finance will be solutions. The introduction of the BPO system will allow banks to broaden O/A offerings to their client base and due to secure safety, sellers could ship the goods without delay according to orders and buyers could settle promptly by payment undertaking of correspondent banks. Therefore, it is more effective for companies which have sustainable customers and stable transaction. This study take a look at the trend of the global payment systems and suggested limitation of existed payment in order to derive improvement measures of electronic payment for small and medium-sized export enterprises.

Supply chain management (SCM) has been drawn increasing attention in industries and academia. The attention is mainly due to a need to integrate the multiple activities in a process network from the overall perspective under the constantly varying economic environment. While many researchers have been addressing various issues of SCM, there is not much research explicitly handling the overall dynamics of supply chain entities from PSE literature. In this two-part series paper, it is investigated how the overall supply chain processing times vary in response to the variation of individual entities using Monte Carlo simulation. Instead of figuring out the operation levels of individual entities, the overall operation time called TAT(Turn-Around-Time) is proposed as a performance indicator. An example of 7 entity-supply chain is presented to illustrate the proposed methodology.

일반적으로 식물의 공급방법은 채집과 재배로 나눌 수 있으며, 자원식물은 상용화를 위해는 안정적 공급이 선행되어야 하므로 재배를 선호하고 있다. 재배방식은 다시 노지재배, 시설재배, Indoor Farm(식물공장)으로 나눌 수 있으며, 우리나라는 시설재배 중 비닐하우스 활용이 활발한 나라로 평가된다. 노지재배에 비해서는 시설재배가 온/습도 관리에 대해 장점을 가지고 있으며, Indoor Farm(식물공장)은 광량, 광질 및 일조시간까지 전체 생육조건의 조절이 가능하지만 초기투자비용 및 운영비용 등으로 인해 경제성이 낮아 아직까지는 상용되고 있지 않다. 자원식물의 경우 부가가치가 높아지는 후방사업으로 발달할 수 있으나, 화장품, 기능식품 또는 의약품으로 개발하기 위해서는 일정한 품질을 확보하여야 한다. 자원식물 재배 시 특정 성분의 함량을 일정하게 유지하기 위해서는 온/습도, 광량, 광질 등 생육환경을 관리할 수 있는 시설재배가 노지재배에 비해 적합하다. 하지만, 일부 자원식물의 경우에는 위도, 일조량 등으로 인해 국내에서는 시설재배로도 적절한 생육조건을 제공할 수 없어서 상업화하지 못한 경우가 많았다. 이에, (주)넥스트온은 Indoor Farm(식물공장) 전문기업으로서, 기존 자원식물 중 국내에서 시설재배로는 적절한 품질 확보가 불가했던 자원식물 및 특수 생육환경에서만 자생하는 희귀 자원식물의 양산화에 노력하고 있다.

전력부문은 전력생산 및 공급과정에서 다양한 환경피해를 유발하는 등 사회적으로 많은 비용을 야기하고 있으나, 생산원가 위주의 현재의 전력가격 책정방식은 환경비용 등의 사회적비용을 제대로 반영하고 있지 못하고 있다. 이는 최적의 발전원구성 및 사회적으로 효율적인 전력공급의 장애 요인이 되고 있다. 주요 발전원에 대한 환경적 가치를 추정하기 위하여 본 연구는 주요 발전원의 전력생산을 수력발전으로 대체하는 것에 대한 지불의사액을 추정하였다. 조건부가치평가법을 적용한 결과, 원자력발전, 석탄화력발전, 가스화력발전 대비 수력발전은 상당히 높은 환경적 가치를 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 전력의 도매거래 시 수력발전의 친환경적 가치를 반영하여 향후 적절한 가격을 보장해야 할 필요가 있다.

Supply chain management is a strategic thinking which enhances the value of supply chain and adapts more promptly for the changing environment. For the seamless partnership and value creation in supply chains, information and knowledge sharing and proper partner selection criteria must be applied. Thus, the partner selection criteria are critical to maintain product quality and reliability. Each part of a product is supplied by an appropriate supply partner. The criteria for selecting partners are technological capability, quality, price, consistency, etc. In reality, the criteria for partner selection may change according to the characteristics of the components. When the part is a core component, quality factor is the top priority compared to the price. For a standardized component, lower price has a higher priority. Sometimes, unexpected case occurs such as emergency order in which the preference may shift on the top. Thus, SCM partner selection criteria must be determined dynamically according to the characteristics of part and its context. The purpose of this research is to develop an OWL model for the supply chain partnership depending on its context and characteristics of the parts. The uncertainty of variable is tackled through fuzzy logic. The parts with preference of numerical value and context are represented using OWL. Part preference is converted into fuzzy membership function using fuzzy logic. For the ontology reasoning, SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) is applied. For the implementation of proposed model, starter motor of an automobile is adopted. After the fuzzy ontology is constructed, the process of selecting preference-based supply partner for each part is presented.

A new circulating hydroponic system was invented for oriental melons grown in the greenhouse. For developing nutrient solution management techniques, we examined the changes of nutrient contents of circulating solution in three different types of new hydroponic systems. The yield and fruit quality of oriental melons in Hydroponics were better than those in soil culture. The substrate culture was appropriate fer hydroponics of oriental melons, and NFT was turned to be the opposite due to the physiological disorder during hot seasons. Yamazaki's melon solution with EC 2.0dS.m$^{[-10]}$ was the most appropriate for oriental melons. The new circulating hydroponic system seemed to be appropriate for oriental melons because of the stable EC, pH and the macro- and micro-element contents. NO$_3$-N, Ca and Mg contents in the circulating solution kept a good balance in all types of hydroponics. However, p content, compared to other types, decreased by the degree of 1 me.L$^{[-10]}$ in perlite medium. K content showed irregular status in perlite but showed the stable status in cocopeat. Generally, microelements, except Mo, showed stable absorption in the substrate culture. However, in NET, most of the elements showed irregular absorption except B and Mn. Microelement absorption, especially Cu, Zn and Mo, decreased during hot seasons.

Power system in satellite is protected by installing fuses, LCLs (Latching Current Limiters), etc. between satellite power supply and loads. In this paper, the fuse sizing technique for satellite power system protection is addressed. Detailed fuse sizing method is explained and it is shown that the single fuse connection method is mathematically subordinated to the parallel fuse connection method. In addition, appropriate fuse selection method is newly suggested under a situation where exact current characteristics of a load connected to a fuse is unknown.

경제성장과 생활향상에 따라 증가일로에 있는 전력에너지를 효율적으로 공급하기 위해서는 원자력발전소의 증설이 불가피하다고 판단하여 정부는 이에 대한 중장기계획을 수립하여 추진하고 있다. 아울러 원전에서 발생하는 방사성폐기물을 처분할 시설의 입지를 위해서도 수차에 걸쳐 노력을 하여왔다. 그러나, 1970년대에 건설이 이미 완료되었거나 건설을 착수한 것 외에는 원자력시설의 입지에 지금까지 성공한 것이 없다. 입지실패의 원인 중 하나는 그간 입지정책을 추진해 오는 과정에서 입지 접근방식에 대한 검토가 부족하여 입지전략이 제대로 수립되지 않았던 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 원자력시설을 입지시키기 위해 널리 활용되어 온 시설입지 접근방식들을 구체적으로 고찰하여 시설입지에 대한 반발현상을 체계적으로 이해함으로써 원자력시설의 성공적인 입지에 첩경이 되고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구 결과, 성공적인 시설입지를 위해서는 어느 하나의 특정 접근방식에만 주안점을 둔 전략 모색은 결코 바람직하지 못하고 입지추진단계와 절차 및 대상 등에 따라 세 가지 접근방식을 적절하게 활용하는 전략을 모색하여야만 시설입지에 대한 반발을 효과적으로 극복하고 시설을 성공적으로 입지시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As a way to evaluate the performance of IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) processes, heating values of coal gas as well as plant efficiency were compared for different rank coals and coal feeding methods by employing the static process simulation technique. Performance of the process was compared with coal rank that was varied by three assorted bituminous coals and also by three subbituminous coals, in addition to the two types of feeding techniques, i.e., dry-feeding and slurry-feeding, that are utilized in entrained-bed coal gasifiers. For the verification of the simulation technique, simulated results were compared first with the actual pilot plant data published from Shell and Texaco. The simulation technique was, then, applied to other coals. Result from tests varying coal rank exhibits the trend of improving both heating content of the product gas and plant efficiency with increasing carbon content in coal. The effect of coal rank is more sensitive in slurry-feeding cases compared to the dry-feeding cases. In particular, considering notably lower values in gas heating value and plant efficiency calculated in the slurry-feeding case that uses a subbituminous coal, limited utilization of the slurry-feeding method for subbituminous coals can be expected. From the plant efficiency point of view, dry-feeding method resulted in higher simulated efficiency values by maximum 3% for subbituminous coals and ca. l% for bituminous coals.
