Purpose: Research and development of human capital in countries bring sustainable development to the nations. Especially for developing countries, the attraction of foreign direct investment not only brings economic growth to the country but also contributes to improving human capital. This study aims to assess the impact of foreign direct investment on human capital in ASEAN countries. Research design, data and methodology: With data collected from ASEAN countries from 1990 to 2019, panel data analysis is performed with revised model types (the Pooled OLS, Fixed effect model, Random effect model and regression with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors). Result: The results of the regression analysis show that FDI has a positive impact on human capital. At the same time, the study also found that public investment in education also positively affects human capital; the life expectancy factor does not affect human capital. Conclusions: With this research result, the authors also proposed a number of solutions to improve human capital by attracting FDI and improving the efficiency of investment for the education of ASEAN countries. Besides, public expenditure on education also plays an important role in raising human capital. Therefore, investment in education should be promoted further in the future.

The use of a cooling fan in an induction cooker raises a reliability issue due to the attraction of dust causing a malfunction of the cooling fan and also increases the noise level and power consumption of the device. The purpose of this study is to attempt to solve these problems by molding the Cu coil of an induction cooker with polymer composites that have a low electrical conductivity but a high thermal conductivity. Among the several polymer composites tested in this study, an aluminum nitride-based composite showed the best performance. The results show that the new induction cooker with the molded composite can operate for an extended period of time without the use of a cooling fan. A further advantage of this new type of induction cooker is that the temperature of the substance in the cooking pot increases more rapidly, indicating an increased efficiency of the induction cooker.

Market Segmentation for Freight Transportation has been used to know the strategies both efficiency of freight transportation market and attraction of freight volume for carriers. It was so difficult to understand the individual preference of shippers that all shippers could be only homogenized through market segmentation. In Korea. standard Industrial classification has been used for freight market segmentation. This study evaluated another new market segmentation method for manufacturing industry. From the study, we knew that the best relevant market segmentation criterion was annual input-output volume, which showed excellent segmenting ability. Also. the results showed many differences against segmentation results according to standard industrial classification. This study had a meaning as a new trial which segmented freight transportation market using company size and shipment characteristic data.

The main purpose of this research was to examine the adsorption/ion exchange characteristics of radioactive species such as cesium and strontium onto synthetic Na-birnessite (sodium-birnessite). As part of efforts to investigate the sorption behavior of cesium and strontium onto synthetic Na-birnessite, batch isotherm tests were performed under different experimental conditions. Na-birnessite was synthesized by the oxidation of $Mn^{2+}$ ions in sodium hydroxide solution. The synthetic Na-birnessite was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Cesium and strontium concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The removal efficiency of strontium by Na-birnessite was around 95 % which was much higher than that of cesium (~ 32 %). The results imply that strontium has a higher affinity for Na-birnessite than cesium because strontium, divalent cation leads to larger electrostatic attraction than monovalent cesium.

Development of a feed drive-system with high speed, positioning accuracy and thrust has been an important issue in modern automation systems and machine tools. Linear motors can be used as an efficient system to achieve such technical demands. By eliminating mechanical transmission mechanisms such as ball screw or rack-pinion, much higher speeds and greater acceleration can be achieved without backlash or excessive friction. However, due to great power loss and magnetic attraction of the linear motors heating and deflection problems occur. Therefore, it is necessary to design strong structure, cooling device with high efficiency and light weight construction in designing stage of linear motors. This paper presents an investigation into a structural design of linear motor system. In this research, a new concept of moving table with high stiffness and of cooling plate is also introduced. Structure analyses are performed by using a commercial code ANSYS in order to evaluate the design safety.

최근 대하천사업을 통하여 낙동강에 총 8개의 다기능보가 설치되었으며, 이러한 하천 내 수공 구조물은 하천에 서식하는 어류의 이동과 군집의 변화, 유전적 단절, 서식처 변화와 같은 다양한 문제점을 유발할 수 있으며, 특히 어류의 산란기에는 하천의 유로를 따라 상류로 이동하거나 하류로 이동하는 회유성 어류들에게는 심각한 문제를 야기한다. 이러한 다기능보의 상 하류의 단절로 인한 문제를 해결하기 위해 낙동강 8개의 다기능보에 자연형 및 인공형 어도가 설치되었으며, 이를 평가하기 위한 어도의 유인효율에 대한 연구가 중요하다. 어류는 최대 유속이 발생하는 지점인 유심선에서 소상하려는 특성을 보이는데, 어도의 입구부의 유속이 중요하게 작용한다. 어도 입구부의 유속분포 및 수심에 따라 유인효율은 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 2차원 수리해석을 통해 WUA를 산정함으로써 어도의 유인효율을 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름해석 모형인 River2D를 이용하여 어류의 소상이 중요한 산란기를 기준으로 강정고령보의 가동보 운영실적을 이용하여 수리해석을 실시하였으며, 연구결과를 바탕으로 자연형어도의 유인효율을 평가하였다.

This study aims to identify the efficiency by applying diverse index to the positions of vertex in the network among the network analysis methods in order to identify the relational location features of caves. The first consideration was about the relational location features according to the linking degree and centrality of cave. The second consideration was about the structural equivalence between caves or between caves and the surrounding tourists attractions. A variety of index examined in this study is very efficient for identifying the positions of caves in the network. Furthermore, the relational location features in consideration of surrounding tourists attractions identified the availability of more objective and quantitative expression. In particular, when there are other caves around a cave, it is also very useful to identify the structural equivalence or comparison with other caves.

본 연구에서는 한국 낙동강에 위치한 강정-고령보에 설치된 by-pass 어도의 유인효율을 유량 변화에 따라 살펴보고, 어도 유인효율을 극대화할 수 있는 최적의 본류 방류량을 산정하였다. 강정-고령보는 고정보와 가동보로 구성된 혼합식 보로 유량조절이 가능하며, 가동보의 조작에 따라 by-pass 어도 내의 유량이 결정된다. 유인효율의 지표로 목표어종의 HSC(Habitat Suitability Criteria) 지수에 기반한 WUA(Weighted Usable Area)를 삼았다. WUA는 평면 2차원 물리서식처 모형인 River2D를 활용하여 계산하였다. 또한 River2D로 계산된 유속장은 GPS Floater를 활용한 현장관측 자료로 검증하였으며, 어망을 이용한 월별 어류 모니터링 자료로 유인효율 평가의 타당성을 간접적으로 검증하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구 대상인 강정-고령보의 by-pass 어도에서 가장 효과적으로 목표 어류를 유인하기 위해서는 본류의 유량이 190 cms내외를 유지해야 한다. 특히 목표 어류인 모래무지가 봄철(4월~6월)에 산란기를 맞아 상하류로 이동하려는 경향을 띄므로, 이때 적절한 가동보 운영을 통해 본류 유량을 190 cms로 유지하는 것이 필요하리라 사료된다.

DOS and NaCl aerosol particles were used to determine collection efficiencies of a 2-stage electrostatic wet scrubber with respect to particle size. The DOS and NaCl aerosols have geometric mean diameters of 0.1-3.0 urn, geometric standard deviations of $1.1{\sim}1.8$ and total number concentrations of $450{\sim}2,400\;particles/cm^3$. The tested operating variables for the electrostatic wet scrubber included air velocity and water injection rate. It was shown from the experimental results that particle collection efficiencies increased in the submicron particle size range when different polarities were applied on the water nozzle and corona wire, respectively. This increase in the collection efficiency is attributed to strong electrostatic attraction between the negative water droplets and positive submicron particles. The collection efficiencies also increased when water injection rate was increased or air velocity was decreased. Meanwhile, the pressure drop across the wet scrubber decreased by 90% compared with the existing mechanical wet scrubber. Finally, ammonia gas was used to determine gas removal efficiencies. It was observed that the gas removal efficiencies increased when the air velocity was decreased or the water injection rate was increased.

This paper presents design procedure of the magnetic bearings used for high-speed electric machines and flywheel energy storage systems. Magnetic bearing can be categorized by inner-rotor type and outer-rotor type according to the position of the rotary disc. These two types are applicable based on application environments such as application space, required attraction force, and controllability. Magnetic bearing is generally designed based on the ratio (geometrical coefficient or geometrical efficiency) of pole width to rotor journal radius but proper ratio is only decided by the analysis. This is the difficulty of the magnetic bearing design. In this paper, proper design technology of the inner-rotor type and outer-rotor-type eight pole magnetic bearings is introduced and compared with the FEM analysis results, which verifies the proposed design procedure is suitable to be applied to the design of the magnetic bearings for the industrial applications and flywheel energy storage system.
