In this Study, efficiencies of the scroll expander under development for organic Rankine cycle using engine waste heat of vehicle have been analyzed and compared with the commercial scroll expander. While operating organic Rankine cycle for analysing expander efficiencies, power of expander, inlet temperature of expander, inlet pressure of expander and the flow rate of the working fluid(refrigerant R134a) have been measured. Overall efficiency of the expander has been shown the very low level compared with the overall efficiency of the commercial expander. Especially, because the low volumetric efficiency has much effect on overall efficiency, the working fluid leakage trouble of expander has to be solved surely for improvement of the expander overall efficiency.

Purposes of this study are to find difference in efficiency, productivity change and determinants on efficiency of life insurance industry between pre and post-execution of capital market law on the basis of pre(2005-2008) and post-execution(2009-2012) data. Main results of this research are as follows. First, there was no significant difference of mean value for efficiency between pre and post execution of capital market law. Second, difference of mean value for malmquist index between pre and post execution of capital market law was statistically significant at 5% level. This imply increase in productivity for post-execution of capital market law. Third, one of the important determinant for efficiency was the weight of life planner in both pre and post-execution of capital market law. The weight of life planner had significant positive effect on efficiency.

본 논문의 목적은 미국 손해보험회사간의 합병을 대상으로 하여 합병전과 후 기업의 X-효율성을 실증분석과 모의분석 방법을 이용해서 검증하고 합병의 잠재적인 X-효율성 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. X-효율성의 증진정도를 파악하기 위해서 횡단면적인 비용함수를 먼저 추정하였는데 비용함수 추정시 생산물이 제로(0)인 경우를 포함하기 위하여 혼용초월 로그비용함수(hybrid translog cost function)를 사용하였다. 그리고 Berger(1992)의 비분포방법(distribution free approach)를 사용하여 기업의 합병전,후 X-효율성을 추정하였다. 1986년부터 1990년 사이에 수평합병한 미국 손보사를 대상으로 피합병기업(merged firms)과 합병기업(merging firms)간의 X-효율성 차이를 검증하였으나 합병전 합병기업이 더 효율적이라는 통계적 증거는 없었다. 두 번째로 합병기업은 합병후 효율성이 증진하였느냐는 가설도 검증하였으나 이 가설을 지지할 만한 통계적 증거는 미약하였다. 가상합병을 통한 모의분석에서는 합병후 상당한 X-효율성 증진이 있을 것이라는 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 얻었으나 합병후 규모효율성의 중진에 대해서는 통계적 유의성이 없었다. 이는 합병의 최대 효익이 규모효율성 증대가 아닌 X-효율성 증대라는 Shaffer(1993)나 Berger and Humphrey(1993)의 연구결과와 일치한다. 실증분석 결과와 모의분석 결과를 비교하면 전자에서는 합병후 X-효율성의 증가효과가 거의 없었으나 후자에서는 합병후 상당한 X-효율성 증가가 있을 것으로 나타났다. 이는 실제 미국 손보사의 합병에서 과도한 합병프리미엄 지급, 규제에 의한 중복비용 둥으로 단기적으로 볼 때 합병사가 부담하는 합병비용이 합병에 의한 효익보다 컸을 것이라는 것을 시사한다.

Daily last time of irrigation in perlite bag culture was investigated to get high water use efficiency (WUE) and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) and also sustain high productivity for tomato. The water content in the substrate was higher as the last time of irrigation was later from 4 to 1hour before sunset. The growth were not significantly different in all treatments. The marketable yield was the highest in treatments of 1 or 2hours before sunset and the lowest in treatment of 4hours. In the result to investigate for 128days WUE and FUE were the lowest in treatment of 1hour before sunset but the highest in treatment of 3hours before sunset. In the conclusion, it looks best to end irrigation 2~3hours before sunset in the aspects of plant growth, yield, WUE, and FUE.

목질계바이오매스 중 목재펠릿은 '탄소중립(Carbon Neutral)' 연료로써 온실가스 감축 의무에 대응 가능한 에너지원이다. 하지만 목질계바이오매스 연소 시 발생되는 타르는 보일러 내부에 누적되어 효율을 감소시킨다. 타르 및 연소 불꽃에 의한 효율 감소를 최소화하기 위해 반대측면에 내화재(Castable)를 적용하여 실험하였으며 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 구조변경 분석이 실시되었다. 적용된 내화재는 비중이 낮고 단열성이 우수하여 열손실을 막아 연료비 절감의 효과를 가져 오며, 연소실 내부 청소 면적 감소로 인한 경제적 효과도 기대 할 수 있다. 분석결과를 이용하여 최적화된 펠릿보일러가 제작되었으며, 실험을 통하여 200시간 가동 후 열효율 감소량이 나타났다. 단위시간별 동일한 외부환경(산화제량, 부하, 주변 온도, 펠릿소비량)에서 실험이 진행 되었으며, 타르생성이전(Non-tar), 이후(Tar-existence) 보일러의 열효율 성능 비교실험이 실시되었다. 실험결과 타르생성이전 조건에서 구조변경 전 후 보일러의 열효율은 각각 91.87%, 90.73%로 확인되었으며, 타르생성이후 조건에서 각각 82.68%, 83.27%의 열효율을 확인하였다. 타르생성이전 대비 이후 조건에서 열효율 감소량은 각각 9.19%p, 7.46%p로 구조변경 전 대비 변경 후 보일러의 열효율이 약 1.73%p 더 적게 감소됨을 확인되었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 타르생성이전 조건에서 구조변경 전 후 보일러의 효율은 각각 91.83%, 92.05%로 확인되었으며 타르 생성이후 조건에서 각각 85.25%, 87.43%의 열효율을 확인하였다. 타르생성이전 대비 이후 조건에서 열효율 감소량은 각각 6.58%, 4.62%로 구조변경 전 대비 변경 후 보일러의 열효율이 약 1.96%p 더 적게 감소됨을 확인하였다.

In this study, performances of the vane expander protype for micro organic Rankine cycle with refrigerant R134a as a working fluid have been analyzed. While operating organic Rankine cycle for analysing expander efficiencies such as overall efficiencies, volumetric efficiencies and mechanical efficiencies under $110^{\circ}C$ of expander inlet temperature, the power of the expander, inlet temperature of expander, inlet pressure of expander and the flow rate of the working fluid(refrigerant R134a) have been measured while varying the rotational speed of the expander. It was found that the more the expander revolution speed is high, the more the expander power, overall efficiencies and volumetric efficiencies are higher. In case of 500 rpm of rotational speed, overall efficiencies are 6~7% and in case of 1000 rpm, overall efficiencies are 11~12%. We have found that low volumetric efficiencies result in poor overall efficiencies.

As a new facet of international security realm in 21C, Information Warfare(IW) has rised new way of warfare and demostrated its efficiency in battelfield. With the rapid development of information technology, indeed, it is difficult to estimate the future of IW. While there are a lot of discussion on the clear concep of IW, it is clear that IW has the factor of psychological warfare, so-called cyber psychological warfare. Considering the security environment of Republic of Korea(ROK), the cyber psychological warfare has the significant importance for national security. While it has to deal with the cyber psychological warfare of North Korea, it also try to cope with the various threaten of international conflicts to protect Korean people and national interest.

In this study, spent mushroom substrate (SMS), which consits of lignocellulosic material, was pretreated by hydrothermal method; the changes of biodegradability and methane production yield of pretreated SMS were determined according to formation of lignocellulosic biomass degrading byproducts formation during thermal pretreatment. Based on the results, all hydrothermal pretreatment temperatures showed improved solubilization performance for biomass, and the optimum pretreatment effect was observed at an pretreatment temperature of 150℃ with the highest methane production yield. However, the induced formation of furan derivatives (i.e., 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural) as byproducts during hydrolysis of hemicellulose and cellulose at severe condition lowered biodegradability and methane yield when the hydrothermal pretreatment temperature was higher than 180℃. Thus, this study revealed that hydrothermal pretreatment could promote anaerobic digestion efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass and is of great importance for preventing byproducts formation through pretreatment condition control.

A water hydraulic pump is likely to have serious problems of high leakage, friction and low energy efficiency. A water hydraulic pump has commonly a fixed displacement type and its outlet flow is adjusted by controlling rotation speed of the pump, which can be implemented by using an electric inverter. This study aims to investigate energy efficiency of the water hydraulic pump system which is driven by an electric inverter. The study is based on the experimental results. The pump which is used in the study shows relatively good efficiency and low leakage, low friction as well. The reasons for the good performance of pump is also investigated.
