Polycarbonates (PCs) with six different end capping agents were synthesized from melt polymerization. Chemical structure of the synthesized PC was determined by FT-IR spectroscopy. The average molecular weight and distribution, glass transition and thermal degradation temperatures were determined by GPC, DSC and TGA. Average molecular weight changed with the chemical structure of end capping agent, and 4-tert-butylphenol was estimated as the optimum end capping agent. The average molecular weights of PCs decreased with the concentration of the agent, the number average molecular weight was observed as 20,000 - 30,000 when 0.05-0.15 mol% of 4-tert-butylphenol added in PCs. The melt viscosities and glass transition temperature of the PCs decreased with molecular weight. The change for adding method of the agent affected on both the molecular weight distribution and decrease in power law index.

Cost of capital is one of the key factors of accounting regulation policy for telecommunication market. This paper aims at investigating efficient policy improvements concerning accounting regulation for telecommunication market focused on cost of capital calculation methods and its application. At First, cost of capital estimating method should be improved. In estimating the cost of equity capital, it is necessary to use benchmark method for Equity risk premium. It will reduce analytical errors caused by a rapid economic change and inflation. It is also more desirable to use debt premium adding method for the cost of debt capital. Optimal capital structure method may be considered a better way to estimates capital structure. Secondly, cost of capital estimating process also has to be reformed. Telecommunication industry changes rapidly so it does not reflect fast environmental changes. Therefore, cost of capital should be calculated every year. Cost of capital should be calculated by individual companies. There is information asymmetry between regulators and regulatees. Because of that cost of capital calculating process takes long time and cost a lot. To solve this problem, regulator should legislate on cost of capital calculation and then regulating companies report the calculating result. Lastly, major telecommunication companies are all listed now and it is possible to calculating it separately. We must continuously improve the estimating method and application of cost of capital and due to the fast growing of telecommunication industry. The process of determining the calculating method must be discussed and best method chosen.

Three-hinge failure occurs in a jointed rock slope with a joint set parallel with slope and a conjugate joint set. Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) which are commonly used for slope design, are not suitable for evaluating stability against three-hinge failure, and this study performed parametric study to analyze the failure mechanism and to find influence factors causing three-hinge failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM based numerical program. Numerical analyses were performed for various joint structural conditions and joint properties as well as ground water conditions. It was found that pore water pressure is the main factor triggering the three-hinge failure and the mode of failure depends on friction angle of basal joint and bedding joint set. The results obtained from this study can be used for adequate and economic footwall slope reinforcement design and construction.

The performance and stability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) depend on the microstructure of the electrode and electrolyte. In anode, porosity and pore distribution affect the active site and fuel gas transfer. In an electrolyte, density and thickness determine the ohmic resistance. To optimizing these conditions, using costly method cannot be a suitable research plan for aiming at commercialization. To solve these drawbacks, we made high performance unit cells with low cost and highly efficient ceramic processes. We selected the NiO-YSZ cermet that is a commercial anode material and used facile methods like die pressing and dip coating process. The porosity of anode was controlled by the amount of carbon black (CB) pore former from 10 wt% to 20 wt% and final sintering temperature from $1350^{\circ}C$ to $1450^{\circ}C$. To achieve a dense thin film electrolyte, the thickness and microstructure of electrolyte were controlled by changing the YSZ loading (vol%) of the slurry from 1 vol% to 5 vol. From results, we achieved the 40% porosity that is well known as an optimum value in Ni-YSZ anode, by adding 15wt% of CB and sintering at $1350^{\circ}C$. YSZ electrolyte thickness was controllable from $2{\mu}m$ to $28{\mu}m$ and dense microstructure is formed at 3vol% of YSZ loading via dip coating process. Finally, a unit cell composed of Ni-YSZ anode with 40% porosity, YSZ electrolyte with a $22{\mu}m$ thickness and LSM-YSZ cathode had a maximum power density of $1.426Wcm^{-2}$ at $800^{\circ}C$.

The Government presented improvement plans such as "Traffic Accident Frequent Point" and "Hazardous Roads" to reduce traffic accidents on the increase after 1980s. In case of the hazardous roads, they are expressed by grades which are marked by geometric elements such as width, radius, grade. sight distance. and other environmental factors. As each business for improving roads goes by only focusing on improvement of geometric elements, excessive expense can be invested too much nowadays causing economical waste. Therefore, as improvement plans approached by economic access are needed, this paper shows the cost-effective improvement of the business to keep safety related to traffic accident and economical waste. The hazardous roads which authorized by Gwang-ju National Road Preservation Office of Construction and Transportation Ministry in 1995 for business for improvement of roads, were investigated before 1999. First of all, estimating traffic accident models are presented by using existed data statistically. The models help to maximize traffic accident decrease through control of the presented factor. Secondly, optimum construction cost of improvement is presented to prevent overcapitalization. However, this paper is limited because it was difficult to sort the data with various areas and to approach various ways.

PLA 즉 폴리유산섬유는 옥수수를 발효하여 글루코오스(포도당)상태를 만든 후 젖산(유산, Lactic acid)으로 만들고 이것을 탈수, 축합반응시켜 polylactic acid로 만든 것이다. 생분해성이 있으므로 저탄소, 녹색성장의 모토를 대변하는 소재라는 이점이 있다. 구조는 에스테르기의 반복단위를 가지는 소수성 섬유로 벤젠환은 없으나 그 외 구조는 폴리에스테르와 비슷하며, 에스테르기가 존재하므로 분산염료와 수소결합하여 염착된다. 그러나 PLA는 융점이 $170^{\circ}C$, Tg $57^{\circ}C$로 내열성이 낮아서 염색온도, 열처리온도, 다림질에 제약이 있으며, 알칼리에 약한 단점이 있다. 따라서 PLA섬유는 낮은 염착량, 내알칼리성, 염착온도 때문에 염색 및 후가공 단계에 많은 사전 실험을 통한 조건 설정이 필요한 까다로운 섬유이다. 본 연구에서는 (주)휴비스의 PLA원사로 제직한 직물(경사:DTY 75/72SD, 위사:DTY 100/72SD, 조직:DOBBY) 생지에 대하여 열처리 시 장력의 유무, 온도, 시간에 따른 폭의 변화를 측정하여 수축률을 알아보았다. 또한, PLA직물을 온도별로 정련한 후 열처리하여 인열강도 측정을 통해 최적 전처리 조건을 조사하였다. 실험결과, PLA생지를 무장력 상태에서 열처리 시 수축이 심하게 일어나고, 장력이 주어져도 열처리 온도에 따라 수축의 정도에 차이가 나타났다. 열처리 시간은 30, 60, 90, 120초로 주었으나 큰 편차는 없었고, 경사가 위사보다 수축 정도가 더 컸으며, $130^{\circ}C$에서는 전체적으로 수축이 심하였다. 생지의 정련에는 인산에스테르계 정련제와 약알칼리인 탄산나트륨으로 조액하여 60, 70, 80, $90^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 처리한 후, Lab. tenter(Mathis, LTE)를 이용하여 110, 120, $130^{\circ}C$에서 30, 60, 90, 120초간 열처리한 다음, KS K 0535 펜듈럼법에 의거하여 인열강도를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 상기 정련온도에서는 인열강도에 영향을 주지 않았으나, 열처리 온도가 $130^{\circ}C$일 때 현저한 강도의 저하를 나타내었다. 실험조건 하에서 가장 적절한 열처리 조건은 $110^{\circ}C$, 60초로 사료된다. 따라서 PLA의 약한 내열성과 내알칼리성 실험결과, 강도나 수축 등 물성변화가 일어나지 않도록 열처리 온도의 제어에 주의가 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 실제 섬유가공 작업현장에서는 일반적으로 열처리기가 $180^{\circ}C$이상의 고온으로 고정된 경우가 많은데, 작업자들에게 PLA소재에 대한 사전주의 및 공정변경에 대한 주지가 요구된다.

A package type of SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system that was proposed for removing the $NO_x$ found in flue gas from the small scale of air pollution sources was evaluated. The efficiency of the SCR system is determined by the proper utilization of catalytic media installed inside of the system, and the proper distribution of flow velocity and $NH_3$ concentration in the flue gas is a crucial factor for using the catalytic media. In this study, the distributions of $NH_3$ concentration were estimated under the various arrays and shapes of AIG at the given gas flow condition. The value of RMS (%) in $NH_3$ concentration is 95.3% at co-current flow (at $0^{\circ}$) injection but it is 90.1% at the condition of counter-current flow (at $120^{\circ}$) condition, which implies the counter-current injection is more favorable. By rearranging the $NH_3$ injection flow rates based on the distribution of velocity and $NH_3$ distribution in basic calculation, the value of RMS (%) in $NH_3$ concentration was reduced to 62.8%. The enhanced effect of $NH_3$ mixing by the combined effect of arrays and shapes are complied in the study.

During the last decade, monacolin-K biosynthesized by fermentation of red yeast rice (Monascus strains) was proved to have an efficient cholesterol lowering capability, leading to rapid increase in the market demand for the functional red yeast rice. In this study, the production medium composition and components were optimized on a shake flask scale for monacolin-K production by Monascus pilosus (KCCM 60160). The effect of three different soybean flours on the monacolin-K production were studied in order to replace the nitrogen sources of basic production medium (yeast extract, malt extract and beef extract). Among the several experiments, the production medium with dietary soybean flour to replace a half of yeast extract was very good for monacolin-K production. Plackett-Burman experimental design was used to determine the key factors which are critical to produce the biological products in the fermentation. According to the result of Plackett-Burman experimental design, a second order response surface design was applied using yeast extract, beef extract and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as factors. Applying this model, the optimum concentration of the three variables was obtained. The maximum monacolin-K production (369.6 mg/L) predicted by model agrees well with the experimental value (418 mg/L) obtained from the experimental verification at the optimal medium. The yield of monacolin-K was increased by 67% as compared to that obtained with basic production medium in shake flasks.
