This study aims to analyze the cultural intelligence and it's relationship with cross-culture adjustment satisfaction, and performance, and then, we prove the moderating role of international experience between cultural intelligence and cross-culture adjustment with staying in the host country. An exploratory pilot study was conducted with a sample of 188 Chinese expatriates working in Korean company in Korea. Then, we proved the moderating role of international experience between cultural intelligence and cross-cultural adjustment. The results of this study have three implications for human resource development. First this study expanded the research of CQ up to the area of empirical investigation. Second, the empirical findings also supported an incremental and predictive validity that CQ increased explained variance of cross-cultural adjustment. Third, the moderating role of international experience in this study showed the importance of both CQ and international experience with staying in the host country.

The predominant concern of the study centers on: (1) the direct effects of the job satisfaction, social support and hope on the individual's quality of life; (2) the direct effect of hope alone on the individual's quality life; (3) the mediating effect of the hope between the job satisfaction/social support and life quality; (4) the moderating effect of the worker's legal status(legal labors Vs. illegal labors) on each causal relationship. Research is based on a survey conducted with 453 Mongolian immigrant workers(333 legal workers, 120 illegal workers) from 10 cities including Seoul. In order for respondents to address research questions, structural equation models are explored. A variety of tests are conducted(metric invariance test, critical ratio for difference test, multi-group analysis, bias-corrected boot-strapping, latent mean analysis including Cohen's effect test). The noticeable findings are as follow: First, both job satisfaction and social support have a positive influence respectively on the individual's hope and the individual's quality of life. Second, we found a partial mediating effect of hope between both job satisfaction/social support and the individual's life quality. Third, we failed to find a moderating effect of the workers' legal status on each causal relationship. Finally, there is no significant difference of the latent means of each latent variable -job satisfaction, social support, hope, and life quality - between the legal group and the illegal group, except the latent mean of workers' quality of life. A range of practical and political implications are discussed based on the study's findings.

The purpose of this research was to examine the possibility on the recycling of foodwaste leachate as external carbon sources using microbubble. The following operating conditions were selected: pressurizing tank 3 bar, circulation flow rate 3.65 LPM, and air flow rate 0.3 LPM with batch type. Microbubble contact time of 18 hours is optimal time to satisfy the recycling of foodwaste leachate as external carbon sources with batch type. HRT 18 hours came up to standard for external carbon sources, except for T-P concentration with continuous type. Coagulants need to be used for removal of dissolved phosphorus concentration by more than 88.5% of the total phosphorus concentration. The VFA was influenced by the organic decomposition rate and the concentration in the aerobic condition. It was considered that the VFA was needed for selection the optimal HRT or the addition of acid fermentation process in order to meet recycling standard of foodwaste leachate.

국내의 하수도 보급률은 90%에 달하고 있으며, 하수의 고도처리와 처리기술이 향상된 신기술개발 등으로 수질개선 효과가 크게 개선되어 있고, 전국 각지에 활발하게 하수처리장의 건설이 추진 중에 있지만, 다양한 오염원의 증가와 함께 환경기준은 점차적으로 강화되고 있어 기존 하수처리장은 강화되고 있는 환경기준을 만족시키기 어려운 실정으로 새로운 처리법의 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 시설이 노후화된 하수종말처리장의 경우에는 경제적인 부담감을 이유로 기존 공법 개선을 통한 수질기준을 만족하기 위하여 노력하고 있으며, 특히, 방류수 수질 중에서 총질소(T-N)와 총인(T-P)의 기준을 평상시와 겨울철(12월 1일부터 3월 31일까지)로 구분하여 적용하여 왔지만, 2012년부터는 이를 동일하게 적용함으로써 겨울철 생물학적 처리 공정에서의 효율저하로 인한 기준치 만족이 어려운 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 인천의 하수처리장을 대상으로 동절기 수온의 저하에 따른 생물학적 공정을 개선시키기 위하여 운전조건을 변경하여 수질개선 증대 방안을 도출하고자 하였으며, 생물학적 공정인 MLE공법으로 동절기 외부 온도의 영향을 받는 조건을 갖는 사업소를 대상으로 실내 실험장치를 구성하여 조건을 변화하면서 개선 효과를 검토하였다. 생물반응조의 공정위치 변화, 미생물농도 그리고 체류시간변화 등의 실험조건으로 하수 처리 효율을 분석하였으며, 운전 중 외부반송 유량, 내부반송 유량 등의 운전인자는 일정하게 유지하였고, 동절기 온도인 $10^{\circ}C$로 유지하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 대상 하수처리장의 생물학적 공정의 개선방향은 공정 배열을 변화하였을 때, 현재의 공정 배열 조건인 무산소조 1개, 호기조 4개의 공정보다 호기조 1개, 무산소조 1개, 호기조 3개로 수정하는 경우 현재 공정보다 질소는 7%, 유기물은 9.2% 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다. 미생물 농도 변화를 주어 수질 개선 효과를 검토한 결과 하수처리장 설계농도인 3,500ppm의 경우보다 미생물 농도를 5,970ppm으로 증가시킨 경우 17.4% 처리효율의 개선효과를 보여 질소 제거를 위해 미생물의 농도를 증가시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단하였다. 또한, 체류시간(HRT)을 변화한 경우에는 현재 체류시간(HRT)인 8시간 보다 10시간으로 증가시켰을 경우 유기물은 3.2%, 질소는 2.6%의 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if subjective well-being could be improved by visiting urban forests near residential areas. Because visiting an urban forest is not an intense positive experience, this research is focused on frequency of affective experience rather than intensity. The independent variables are number of visits and length of stay. The dependent variables are positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction. A polling agency was employed to select 600 respondents by quota sampling, and data was collected by online survey. The results of ANOVA showed that there was no interaction between the number of visits and length of stay. Regardless of the number of visits, the subjective well-being of visitors of urban forests was enhanced: (a) positive affect of respondents who had visited in the past 2 weeks was increased while negative affect was decreased, and (b) life satisfaction for those who had visited at least 1 time per month was enhanced among usual visitors. The stay of length, however, had little effect on the increase or decrease of these three variables. The results of this study support the existing theory that one could reset their genetically determined happiness set point to a higher level by participating in intentional activities such as visiting urban forests that offer ways to achieve long-lasting changes in well-being. This means that it would be a valuable government investment to construct and maintain urban forests for improving citizens' welfare. A few comments were suggested regarding data collection and inclusion of influencing variables to make future subjective well-being studies more reliable.

A major purpose of this study is to develop a drainage system that can quickly drain water penetrated into pavement layers to mitigate pot holes which is one of the major distress types in bridge deck pavements. This system can be established by applying a thin drainage layer between waterproof and pavement layers. The most important elements for this system are the performance of waterproof layer and construction technique for the thin drainage layer. The porous asphalt mix with the maximum aggregate size of 10mm is first developed based on the porous asphalt mix design guide proposed by NCAT, and various physical and mechanical tests are performed to confirm that the porous mix satisfies all the specification requirements. In addition, a series of laboratory tests including low-temperature bending and bonding strength tests for the MMA(Methyl Methacrylate) type of waterproofing material. It is observed from the tests that the MMA material satisfies all the specification requirements. To evaluate the Reld performance of the drainage system, a field study has been conducted on a relatively small size bridge. The QC/QA tests are conducted on the both waterproofing and pavement materials. It has been found that the drainage system works well to drain the water penetrated into the pavement layers.

상수도 관망은 비정상상황에서도 안전한 물을 안정적으로 공급하는 것을 목표로 한다. 따라서 상수도 관망의 최적 설계는 수리학적 제약조건 (i.e., 절점의 압력, 관의 유속)을 만족하는 설계안을 제시한다. 하지만 점차 커지는 도시 규모에 따라 수질적으로 안전한 물을 공급하지 못하는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 또한, 상수도시스템의 형식 (i.e., 수지상식, 혼합식, 순환식)에 따라 용수의 체류 시간, 절점의 압력 등이 상이하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 도시 규모 및 형식과 잔류염소 농도를 고려한 상수도시스템 최적 설계를 진행하였다. 절점의 개수에 따라 도시의 규모를 분류하였으며, BI(BI; Branch Index) 지수를 통해 상수도시스템의 형식을 분류하였다. 또한, 수리학적 제약조건(i.e., 절점의 압력)과 수질적 제약조건 (i.e., 잔류염소 농도)을 설정하여 수리-수질을 동시에 만족하는 최적 설계안을 도출하였다. 비상시에도 물을 안정하게 공급하기 위하여 시스템의 탄력성과 설계비용을 목적함수로 설정하여 다목적 최적 설계를 진행하였다. 이러한 연구는 압력만을 고려한 기존 설계단계에서 수질적 측면을 동시에 고려하여 수질 측면의 안전성을 향상할 수 있다. 또한, 시스템의 탄력성을 고려하여 비정상상황에서도 물을 공급하여 사용성을 향상하는 설계안을 도출하여 수리학적 안정성을 만족하며, 경제적 측면도 향상할 수 있다.
