In this work, the effect of surface treatment on mesoporous carbons (MCs) supports was investigated by analyzing surface functional groups. MCs were prepared by a conventional templating method using mesoporous silica (SBA-15) for using catalyst supports in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The MCs were treated with different phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) concentrations i.e., 0, 1, 3, 4, and 5 M at 343 K for 6 h. And then Pt-Ru was deposited onto surface treated MCs (H-MCs) by chemical reduction method. The characteristics of Pt-Ru catalysts deposited onto H-MCs were determined by specific surface area and pore size analyzer, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron, transmission electron microscopy, and inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometer. The electrochemical properties of Pt-Ru/H-MCs catalysts were also analyzed by cyclic voltammetry experiments. From the results of surface analysis, an oxygen functional group was introduced to the surface of carbon supports. From the results, the H4M-MCs carbon supports surface treated with 4 M $H_3PO_4$ led to uniform dispersion of Pt-Ru onto H4M-MCs, resulting in enhancing the electro-catalytic activity of Pt-Ru catalysts.

Mineral carbonation is a technology in which carbonates are synthesized from minerals including serpentine and olivine, and industrial wastes such as slag and cement, of which all contain calcium or magnesium when reacted with carbon dioxide. This study aims to develop the mineral carbonation technology for commercialization, which can reduce environmental burden and process cost through the reduction of carbon dioxide using steel slag and the slag reuse after calcium extraction. Calcium extraction was conducted using NH4Cl solution for air-cooled slag and convert slag, and ${\geq}98%$ purity calcium carbonate was synthesized by reaction with calcium-extracted solution and carbon dioxide. And we conducted experimentally to minimize the quantity of by-product, the slag residue after calcium extraction, which has occupied large amount of weight ratio (about 80-90%) at the point of mineral carbonation process using slag. The slag residue was used to replace silica sand in the manufacture of cement panel, and physical properties including compressive strength and flexible strength of panel using the slag residue and normal cement panel, respectively, were analyzed. The calcium concentration in extraction solution was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was also used to identify the surface morphology of calcium carbonate, and XRD was used to analyze the crystallinity and the quantitative analysis of calcium carbonate. In addition, the cement panel evaluation was carried out according to KS L ISO 679, and the compressive strength and flexural strength of the panels were measured.

The national boundary's meanings turn to weak according to advent of Global enterprises. The place for design a product and marketing are separated to actual market. R&D is to the area where the knowledge activity is well, and low skilful product assembling is to the place the low wage is acceptable. It shows that the importance of net work structure. From early 90's, production system is diversified to markets where with the consumer as the central as multifarious items and creation new demands through consumer's participation into manufacturing process. This phenomenon show that logistics structures adapt to demand of technical variation, and the development of e-business with VAN(:value added network) and EDI(:Electronic data interchange) prove it. This study tried to analyze utilitarian assay about systems those land, sea, air logistics through documents research, and this study also present the direction of logistics system of airline company and goal of development on the based to the model of domestic airline company accordingly.

Research on technical efficiency, an important dimension of market performance, had received little attention until recently by most industrial organization empiricists, the reason being that traditional microeconomic theory simply assumed away any form of inefficiency in production. Recently, however, an increasing number of research efforts have been conducted to answer questions such as: To what extent do technical ineffciencies exist in the production activities of firms and plants? What are the factors accounting for the level of inefficiency found and those explaining the interindustry difference in technical inefficiency? Are there any significant international differences in the levels of technical efficiency and, if so, how can we reconcile these results with the observed pattern of international trade, etc? As the first in a series of studies on the technical efficiency of Korea's manufacturing industries, this paper attempts to answer some of these questions. Since the estimation of technical efficiency requires the use of plant-level data for each of the five-digit KSIC industries available from the Census of Manufactures, one may consture the findings of this paper as empirical evidence of technical efficiency in Korea's manufacturing industries at the most disaggregated level. We start by clarifying the relationship among the various concepts of efficiency-allocative effciency, factor-price efficiency, technical efficiency, Leibenstein's X-efficiency, and scale efficiency. It then becomes clear that unless certain ceteris paribus assumptions are satisfied, our estimates of technical inefficiency are in fact related to factor price inefficiency as well. The empirical model employed is, what is called, a stochastic frontier production function which divides the stochastic term into two different components-one with a symmetric distribution for pure white noise and the other for technical inefficiency with an asymmetric distribution. A translog production function is assumed for the functional relationship between inputs and output, and was estimated by the corrected ordinary least squares method. The second and third sample moments of the regression residuals are then used to yield estimates of four different types of measures for technical (in) efficiency. The entire range of manufacturing industries can be divided into two groups, depending on whether or not the distribution of estimated regression residuals allows a successful estimation of technical efficiency. The regression equation employing value added as the dependent variable gives a greater number of "successful" industries than the one using gross output. The correlation among estimates of the different measures of efficiency appears to be high, while the estimates of efficiency based on different regression equations seem almost uncorrelated. Thus, in the subsequent analysis of the determinants of interindustry variations in technical efficiency, the choice of the regression equation in the previous stage will affect the outcome significantly.

In this study, a solvothermal reaction to prepare nanocrystalline titania was carried out using $TiCl_4$ and mixed solvents of alcohol and water. The effects of the type and the composition of alcohol on the crystal structure and agglomeration of final $TiO_2$ products were investigated. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the solvothermal reaction using the n-butanol solutions with different volume ratios of n-butanol/water (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, 0/100), the extent of agglomeration of obtained rutile $TiO_2$ was found to change with the volume ratio of n-butanol/water, and the n-butanol/water ratio of 75/25 revealed the best result for the preparation of well-dispersed nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ powders. The crystal phase of $TiO_2$ prepared through the solvothermal reaction changed with the type of alcohol in solvent (alcohol/water = 75/25). $TiO_2$ products obtained with the aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol and isopropanol have an anatase phase, while that with n-butanol has a rutile phase. The results showed that, in the solvothermal reaction using both $TiCl_4$ as a starting material and the alcohol-water mixed solvents without any other additive, the enhancement of dispersion and control of crystal structure of $TiO_2$ products can be feasible by simply varying the composition and type of alcohol in the mixed solvents.

The crystal structure, grain growth behavior, and dielectric properties of BaTiO₃ have been studied with the addition of Dy₂O₃. The powders were synthesized at ratios of (100-x)BaTiO₃-xDy₂O₃ (mol%, x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) by a conventional solid-state synthesis, and the powder compacts were sintered at 1250℃ for 2 hours in air. As the amount of added Dy₂O₃ was increased, the crystal structure of the sintered samples changed from a tetragonal to a pseudo-cubic structure, and the tetragonality decreased. In addition, a secondary phase of Ba₁₂Dy_4.67Ti₈O₃₅ appeared when Dy₂O₃ was added. The average grain size after sintering decreased and abnormal grains appeared as the amount of Dy₂O₃ increased. It can be explained that the grain growth behavior of the Dy₂O₃ added-BaTiO₃ occurs due to the two-dimensional nucleation and growth, and is governed by the interface reaction. Further, the correlation between crystal structure, microstructure, and dielectric properties was discussed.

낙동강 하굿둑(이하 하굿둑)은 1987년 부산 사하구와 강서구 사이에 건설되어 하류 지역의 바닷물 유입을 막아 부산, 울산, 경남 등에 안정적으로 생활·농업·공업 등의 분야에 용수를 공급하는 역할을 해왔다. 현재, 하굿둑의 수문은 낙동강 상류로부터 하류로 흘러내려오는 민물(담수)을 방류하기 위해서만 하굿둑 수문을 개방하고 있다. 하구는 하천의 담수와 바다의 염수가 서로 만나는 구역으로 바닷물과 염수의 밀도차에 의한 혼합으로 자연상태의 하구에서는 담수와 염수가 섞이는 기수역이 형성되며, 이러한 특성으로 하구 인근의 지역에서는 일반적인 하천 및 해양, 연안과는 분명히 구별되는 생태계가 조성된다. 하굿둑 건설이후 바닷물(해수)과 민물(담수)이 만나는 낙동강 어귀에 기수생태계가 사라지면서 바닷물이 유입될 수 있도록 하여 생태계를 복원해야 한다는 필요성이 제기되어 왔으며, 하굿둑이 지역에 기여해온 사실은 분명하나 하굿둑으로 인해 생태계 단절이 발생하고 기수생태계가 파괴되었기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위해서는 하굿둑을 개방하여 과거 기수생태계를 복원해야 한다는 목소리가 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 정부에서는 하굿둑의 기수생태계 복원을 위해서 관계기관 합동으로 의사결정을 하고 효율적인 개방 방안을 모색하는 실무협의회를 구성하여 운영 중이고, 실무협의회 논의를 통해 5개 주요 관계기관(환경부, 국토부, 해양수산부, 부산광역시, K-water) 공동으로 "낙동강하굿둑 운영개선 및 생태복원 방안 연구용역"을 추진 중이다. 2018년 1단계 용역이 완료되었으며, 2019년부터 2단계 연구용역을 추진 중이고 하굿둑 개방의 수준별로 각종 영향을 검토한 후 대책을 마련하여 기수생태계 복원 방안을 수립하는데 그 목적이 있다. 2단계 연구용역에서는 과학적이고 합리적인 기수생태계 복원방안 마련을 위해서 실제로 해수를 유입시키는 3차례의 실증실험 및 수리모형실험 등을 추진한다. 기존 연구들에서도 수문개방에 따른 해수유입 영향에 대해 모델링을 통해서 분석했지만 이는 검증이 이루어지지 않은 결과로 이번 용역에서는 실제 해수를 유입시키고 염분의 침투 및 각종 수생태 영향을 모니터링 한 후 그 결과를 반영하여 모델링을 고도화하고 있다. 최종적으로 고도화된 모델링 결과를 기반으로 기수생태계 조성 방안별로 염분, 수질, 수생태, 침퇴적 등 각종 분야에 대한 정확한 영향을 분석하고 이에 대한 대책을 포함하여 최종적으로 바람직한 기수생태계 복원 방안을 제시할 계획이다. 기수생태계 복원 방안이 계획에만 그치지 않고 실행으로 연결시키기 위해서 필요성에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 공감대를 형성해 나아가고 있으며 지역주민, 전문가, 관계기관 등 민(民)·관(官)·학(學) 다양한 의견을 수렴하여 하구지역내 수량-수질-수생태를 종합적으로 고려하여 복원 방안을 마련 후 사회적인 합의를 추진하여 확정할 예정이며, 하구의 안정적인 관리를 위해 AI 등 4차 산업혁명기술을 적극 적용하는 스마트한 하구물관리(Smart Estuary Watershed Management)"를 활용한 "하구통합물관리" (Estuary Integrated Watershed Management) 등 과학적인 관리를 추진할 계획이다.
