This study was performed to optimize the processing conditions and to select the optimum species for colored sweet potato chips (Shinjami, Juhwangmi and Hayanmi varieties) baked by far-infrared radiation. Sweet potato chips were prepared by different slicing thickness (1~3 mm), concentration of sucrose solution for soaking (15~30%), blanching time (15~60 sec), baking temperature ($110{\sim}140^{\circ}C$) and baking time (23~31 min) through sensory evaluation and failure stress measurement. Optimal processing condition of sweet potato chips using Shinjami was determined to 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, and those using Juhwangmi was determined as 1 mm, 25%, 45 sec, $130^{\circ}C$ and 29 min. Sweet potato chips using Hayanmi was determined as 1 mm, 20%, 45 sec, $120^{\circ}C$ and 31 min, respectively. Free sugar content of sweet potato chips was higher in chips than in raw materials. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, sweet taste, hardness, and overall acceptance were higher in Juhwangmi than in the Shinjami and Hayanmi varieties. Overall acceptance, sugar content, b-value and failure stress were highly correlated among factors affecting the sensory characteristics (p<0.01). From the results of this study, Juhwangmi variety was selected for production of sweet potato chips.

This paper considers logistics decision support system which deals with transportation mode selection considering transportation and carbon emission cost. Transportation and carbon emission costs vary with the choice of transportation modes and to become competitive companies need to find proper transportation modes for their logistics services. However, due to the restricted capacity of transportation modes, it is difficult to balance transportation and carbon emission costs when designing logistics network including transportation mode choice for each service. Therefore this paper aims to analyze the trade-off relationship between transportation and carbon emission cost in mode selection of intermodal transportation and to provide optimal green logistics strategy. In this paper, the logistics decision support system is designed based on mixed integer programming model. To understand the trade-off relationship of transportation and carbon emission cost, the system is tested with various scenarios including transportation of containers between Seoul and Busan. The analysis results show that, even though sea transportation combined with trucking is competitive in carbon emission per unit distance travelled, the total cost of carbon emission and transportation for the sea transportation may not have competitive advantage over other transportation modes including rail and truck transportation modes. The sea-based intermodal logistics service may induce detours which have negative impacts on the overall carbon emission. The proposed logistics decision support system is expected to play key role in green logistics and supply chain management.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal roasting conditions for developing perilla leaf leached tea, which has high functional Perilla frutescens leaves. The roasting processes were carried out with variations in roasting temperature ($120-200^{\circ}C$) and roasting time (15-35 min), the response surface methodology was applied to monitor the changes in qualities of the roasted Perilla frutescens leaves. The antioxidant, bioactive substance in roasted Perilla frutescens leaves, and their extracts were the quality parameters. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents increased with time and temperature up to 25 min and $160^{\circ}C$. Antioxidative activities showed a positive correlation with the amount of phenolic compound. Caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid contents increased with time up to a mild temperature, $160^{\circ}C$, while they decreased at high temperatures over $160^{\circ}C$. The optimum roasting conditions selected for developing perilla leaf leached tea were thus $180^{\circ}C$ and 20 min, given the conditions in the above experiments.

Recently, due to global warming and climate change in Korea, local heavy storm occurs frequently. In this study, the risky areas for flooding in urban areas are analyzed for flood inundation based on two-dimensional urban flood runoff model (XP-SWMM) focusing on coastal high flood-risk urban areas. In addition, the MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) technique is utilized in order to establish the flood defense structural measures. The alternative flood reduction method are compared and the optimum flood defense measures are selected. A simulation model was used with three structural flood prevention measures (drainage pipe construction, water detention, flood pumping station). In order to decrease the flooding area, flood assessment criteria are suggested (flooded area, maximum inundation depth, damaged residential area, construction cost). Priorities of alternatives are determined by using compromise programming. As a result, the optimal flood defence alternative suggested for Janghang Zone 1 is flood pumping station and for Janghang Zone 2, 3 are drainage pipe construction.

A robust parameter set (ROPS) selection framework for an unsteady flow model was developed by combining Pareto optimums obtained by outcomes of model calibration using multi-site observations with the minimax regret approach (MRA). The multi-site calibration problem which is a multi-objective problem was solved by using an aggregation approach which aggregates the weighted criteria related to different sites into one measure, and then performs a large number of individual optimization runs with different weight combinations to obtain Pareto solutions. Roughness parameter structure which can describe the variation of Manning's n with discharges and sub-reaches was proposed and the related coefficients were optimized as model parameters. By applying the MRA which is a decision criterion, the Pareto solutions were ranked based on the obtained regrets related to each Pareto solution, and the top-rated one due to the lowest aggregated regrets of both calibration and validation was determined as the only ROPS. It was found that the determination of variable roughness and the corresponding standardized RMSEs at the two gauging stations varies considerably depending on the combinations of weights on the two sites. This method can provide the robust parameter set for the multi-site calibration problems in hydrologic and hydraulic models.

In this parer, we purpose for applying the RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system in National Road Traffic Volume Survey. Because there is limitation for shipping RFID Tag on every car, we firstly defined Expansion (process of making the number of all cars which passed survey point from sampling data) and determined the best methodology among 3 methodologies (Time factor Model, Fuzzy Model, Artificial Neural Network). As a result of analysis, Time Factor Model was chosen as the best methodology for Expansion. Also, we analyzed to find an application of the RFID system in National Road Traffic Volume Survey and obtained a possibility applying it. It is expected that if the RFID system is used in Traffic Volume Survey, the survey cost is saved than before.

This paper suggests the optimal blood distribution center algorithm that satisfies the minimum total transportation cost and within the allowable distribution time $T^*$. Zhang and Yang proposes shifting the location of each point that has less than the average distance of two maximum distance points from each point. But they cannot decide the correct facility location because they miscompute the shortest distance. This algorithm computes the shortest distance $l_{ij}$ from one area to another areas. Then we select the $v_i$ area to thecandidate distribution center location such that $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ and the $v_i$ such that $l_{ij}-L^*$ area that locates in ($v_i,v_k$) and ($v_j,v_l$) from $P_{ij}=v_i,v_k,{\cdots},v_l,v_j$ path and satisfies the $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ condition. Finally, we decide the candidate distribution area that has minimum transportation cost to optimal distribution area.

Membranes are used to separate pure gas from gas mixtures. In this study, three different types of mass transport through a membrane were developed in order to investigate the gas separation capabilities of a membrane. The three different models typically used are a lumped model, a multi-cell model, and a discretization model. Despite the multi-cell model producing similar results to a discretization model, the discretization model was selected for this investigation, due to the cell number dependence of a multi-cell model. The mass transport model was then used to investigate the effects of pressure difference, flow rate, total exposed area, and permeability. The results showed that the pressure difference increased with the stage cut, but the selectivity was a trade-off for the increasing pressure difference. Additionally, even though permeability is an important parameter, the selectivity and stage cut of the membrane converged as permeability increased.

A preliminary study of the behavior of ultrasonic guided wave mode in a pipe using a comb transducer for maintenance inspection of power plant facilities has been verified experimentally. The mode identification has been carried out in a pipe using the time-frequency analysis methods such as the wavelet transform(WT) and the short time Fourier transform (STFT), compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curves for longitudinal and flexural modes. The results are in good agreement with analytical predictions and show the effectiveness of using the time-frequency analysis method to identify the individual modes. It was found out that the longitudinal mode(0,1) is less affected by mode conversion compared with the other modes. Therefore, L(0,1) is selected as an optimal mode for the evaluation of the surface defect in a pipe.
