In recent years, the attention on the applications of the national or international standards to water-related information technology in practice has more increased. In particular, as the demand on spatial information technology including content development, receiving, disposal and distribution has increased, the importance of standardization has been also emphasized. However, compared with attention and demand on standardization in spatial information technology, studies on development and application of standardization are still at the initial stage. Accordingly, this study attempted to investigate the trends of international standards developed and established by International Organization for Standardization(ISO) and Open Geospatial Consortium(OGC), and to derive the adaptable integrated management standard technology for water hazard information platform. For this, we investigated big data, NoSQL, and cloud technology for the observed data provision. Furthermore, OGC WxS standard technologies for spatial information web service and ISO standards for spatial information format were investigated. Based on these investigations, we examined the strategies and plans to apply and establish the standardization for information provision.

The Importance of SEP (Standard Essential Patents) Procurement Operation is on the side of Governmental and Public both to accelerate the national trade negotiation competitiveness. To operate cooperative system of SEP creation and management, Government should monitor the effect and performance periodically to public sectors. and To achieve the support objectives, it should establish the virtuous circle infrastructure between R&D and economic performance on SEP. This can make the SEP enhancement to pursue the international competitiveness on Intellectual Property Rights. Especially the specific support approach to each phase of the SEP declaration matrix is essential to consolidate the possibility of SEP creation and acquisition. In this study, the concepts of SEP to accelerate the national trade negotiation competitiveness and the prior research were verified through the investigation of market trend and current state of affair analysis. Through the analysis of international and domestic situation of SEP procurement and management, We have found the results as follows. First of all, the leading conglomerates and the Government should focus on the secondary and tertiary industries to create and acquire SEPs to accomplish the effectiveness of selection and concentration. In second, the SMEs and Univ. Labs should focus on the quaternary sector of the economy to retain the competitiveness of speed and challenge on SEP related. From this study, the appropriateness of the tailored-support management model should be institutionalized, and the results implied an research in order to examine the suitability among the current SEP to enhance the competitiveness of national trade research issues.

Regarding to the cadastral information and building information as a spatial information, studies on linking between cadastral records and building information, or integration methodology on 2D based building map and land information were proposed. Cadastral information has grown its values by cadastral resurvey project and cadastral confirmation survey. There is a tendency of BIM in the design stage which is not just simple 3D dataset and BIM is spreading in public and private sectors. However, studies on the linkage between building information and cadastral information is relatively weak comparing to the BIM spreading. One of the main features that have been improved in IFC4 is the interoperability with GIS. In this regards, the researcher propose several revision methods to link cadastral information to building information. Cadastral information needs to improve the quality of the dataset's such as unifying the different coordinate systems and preparing continuous cadastral map. For buildings, standardization of BIM in the public and private sectors is urgent task. IFC4 and upcoming IFC5 are international standards which need to be considered and BIM reverse engineering for the existing buildings is necessary for the public utilization in the near future.

To cope with rapidly increasing crimes, the Smart-home system has become common to minimize and prevent crimes in the residential space. Accordingly, the interest on the security-related Smart-home system is also increasing. First is the establishment of Smart-home security standard. At present, the Smart-home security systems are implemented by individual policies of construction companies or by the requirement of residents. Each construction company has their own characteristics in the Smart-home security system; while there is no standardized system. Second is the introduction of Smart-home security certificate system. Like people have certificates, now the residential spaces may also need certificates. A certificate system that represents the performance of residential spaces cannot be an absolute criterion in the evaluation of apartment quality, however, it can be a basic requirement for the convenient residential environment and policies being implemented by the government. If a certificate system would be introduced, construction companies will compete with each other to provide with better security system and apartment operation companies will hire more specialized security personnel in order to get higher certificates. Consequently, better security of residential space will be secured. It is also required to develop and establish response measures by studying the key changes and trends of Smart-home security system. The advance in mechanical security devices will bring about more changes in the future. Therefore, more various in-depth studies are required on the basic specifications of security system in the residential spaces.

As homenetwork has been built at general homes, users want to connect various types of devices and control them. To realize a new environment that most people dream, there have been many services developed, and the various types of devices have been proposed and then their usage and validity have been reviewed. However, as the technical design guideline seems to be prepared soon for the standardization under the situation that has been progressed mainly by technology-lead style so far, making homenetwork a product is expected to be advanced, and therefore now it is the time to discuss the design development at full stage, which is really valuable for users. We have to consider it not to make any alienated class in the society on the whole when considering these devices, and also we have to develop the design by differentiating it toward the direction that we accept users and use environment's special conditions. In addition, each devices should have reliability, no malfunction or error and long life span. At the same time, those products, which can be new changes we can joyfully accept as well as the habits we are already accustomed to, should be developed, and thereby they may naturally have to be absorbed into our present living. The design development direction for future homenetwork can vary depending on our expectation and needs, and it will become a good guidebook for the producer who have to invest much financially or in time. Therefore, this study intends to examine the present network trend and development direction and then suggest the product design direction for future homenetwork.

There are increasing evidences of climate change in the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, especially elevated temperature due to the continuous burning of the fossil fuels and ultraviolet B(UV-B) flux within the ozone hole. Light-dependent, temperature-sensitive, and fast-growing organisms respond to these physical and biogeochemical changes. Polar marine phytoplankton, which are pioneer endemic species and important carbon contributors in the polar waters, are therefore highly suitable biological indicators of such changes. By virtue of light requirement, the primary producers are exposed to extreme seasonal fluctuations in temperature, photosynthetically active radiation, and UV radiation. Local environmental warming and increased UV-B radiation during ozone depletion may have profound effects on the primary producers that are primary carbon producers in the polar water. Small changes in climate temperature and solar radiation may have profound effects on the activity threshold of the polar phytoplanktion. To demonstrate biological response to the environmental changes, standardized representative natural and biological parameters are needed so that replicate samples (including controls) can be taken over extended periods of time. In this paper, we review general characteristics of polar phytoplankton, their environment, environmental changes in the polar waters, the effects on the environmental changes to the polar phytoplankton, and the importance of the polar phytoplankton to understand the global environmental changes. [Biological indicators, Global environmental change, Polar phytoplankton, UV].

Biomass co-firing to existing thermal power plants is one of the most economical and efficient way to reduce $CO_2$ emission from the plant. There are several methods of co-firing and it can be categorized into (1) Parallel co-firing, (2) Indirect co-firing, and (3) Direct co-firing. Parallel co-firing is the most expensive way to high-ratio co-firing because it requires biomass dedicated boiler. Direct co-firing is widely used because it does not need high capital cost compared with the other two methods. Regarding the direct co-firing, it can be classified into three methods- Method 1 does not need retrofit of the facilities because it uses existing coal mills for pulverizing biomass fuels. In this case high-ratio co-firing cannot be achieved because of poor grindability of biomass fuels. Method 2 needs biomass-dedicated mills and revision of fuel streams for the combustion system, and Method 3 needs additional retrofit of the boiler as well as biomass mills. It can achieve highest share of the biomass co-firing compared with other two methods. In Korea, many coal power plants have been adopting Method 1 for coping with RPS(Renewable portfolio standards). Higher co-firing ratio (> 5% thermal share) has not been considered in Korean power plants due to policy of limitation in biomass co-firing for securing REC(Renewable Energy Certificate). On the other hand, higher-share co-firing of biomass is widely used in Europe and US using biomass dedicated mills, following their policy to enhance utilization of renewable energy in those countries. Technical problems which can be caused by increasing share of the biomass in coal power plants are summarized and discussed in this report. $CO_2$ abatement will become more and more critical issues for coal power plants since Paris agreement(2015) and demand of higher share of biomass in the coal power plants will be rapidly increased in Korea as well. Torrefaction of the biomass can be one of the best options because torrefied biomass has higher heating value and grindability than other biomass fuels. Perspective of the biomass torrefaction for co-firing is discussed, and economic feasibility of biomass torrefaction will be crucial for implementation of this technology.

The efforts to improve river levee maintenance technologies have accelerated globally in a bid to deal with the flood damage resulting from the changes to the climate and flood events. This paper, in line with such tendency, proposes an evaluation system of a river levee safety map to maintain the river levee in an efficient manner. The concept of a river levee safety map is aimed at maximizing the maintenance efficiency for a manager to indicate the safety index, including the current river levee sliding, piping, and visual inspection on a GIS map. To develop such an evaluation system, a safety index covering the sliding, piping, and visual inspection are designated through the data and document examination and the rational guideline to classify each index into three grades, A, B, and C, is proposed. Based on the guideline proposed, the sliding and piping characteristics in terms of safety depending on the change to the flood water level duration time at the test section (Nam river) were evaluated by numerical analysis. As a result, both the protected landside and riverside satisfied the requirements for Grade A in terms of sliding, and when it comes to piping, the grade declined to C because the flood water level duration time increased at R2. As a planning study to propose a river levee safety map evaluation system, a further advanced study, standardization of the river levee data, and improvement of the existing system and laws are required.

Nature of Science(NOS) has been a well-organized focus of science education and one of the key elements in defining and cultivating scientific literacy for more than a century. In recent years, a specific description of NOS, which is often known as 'the consensus view of NOS', has become very influential and has gained ready acceptance as an arrangement for both curriculum building and research into understanding of NOS by students and teachers in many countries around the world. This study has two purposes; one is to review some debates and criticism on the consensus view of NOS which consists of a list of sentences to describe nature of refined and general science, which have been heated up for the last few years by many prominent science education researchers, and the other is to consider alternative perspectives on NOS for the purpose of a new direction of NOS education. As a result of an investigation into such views as 'Teaching about NOS', 'Critical NOS', 'Critical Thinking-NOS', 'Whole Science', 'Features of Science' and 'Reconceptualized Family Resemblance Approach to NOS', some implications which focus on the generality and plurality of content knowledge of NOS based on current philosophy of science and sociology of scientific knowledge are suggested for the improvement of teaching and learning NOS.
