In this study, lead-free $(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-BiTiO_3$ ceramics were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. Structural and electrical properties of lead-free $(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$ ceramics with the variation of $BiTiO_3$ were investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis showed a typical polycrystalline perovskite structure without presence of the second phase in all specimens. Sintered density increased with an increasing of BTO and the specimen added with 0.07 mol% of $BiTiO_3$ showed the maximum value of 97.8%. Average grain size decreased and densification increased with an increasing of $BiTiO_3$ contents. The electromechanical coupling factor of the 0.01 mol% $BiTiO_3$ doped NKN specimens was 0.32. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and Curie temperature of the 0.07 mol% $BiTiO_3$ doped NKN specimens were 1185, 0.145% and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Real option values of early termination payment for selected BTO PPI projects are studied using binomial models. Two cases of early termination payments are considered; an option with the condition of private participants' default, and an option without the condition. Values vary depending upon parameter values such as revenues, costs, discount rates, debt ratio, and volatility of revenues. For selected projects, the option values without the default condition are estimated as 1%~7% of total project costs, whereas the option values with the default condition are estimated as 0%~1.89% of total project cost. When actual revenues differ from the forecasted revenues, apparently the option values deviate from the values based upon the forecasted revenues. When actual revenues fall short of the forecasted revenues, the option values increase by a large amount whereas the option values decrease by a small amount in the opposite case. This implies that the option values can be quite bigger than the values based upon the forecasted revenue especially when the revenue forecast uncertainty is large. This study is expected to play an important role in improving the early termination payment option policy of the government in PPI projects in Korea.

$BiFeO_3$ (BFO), when forming a solid solution with $BaTiO_3$ (BTO), shows structural transformations over the entire compositional range, which not only gives a way to increase structural stability and electrical resistivity but also applies a means to have better ferromagnetic ordering. In this respect, we have prepared and studied 0.8 BFO-0.2 BTO thin films on Pt(111)/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Various deposition parameters, such as deposition temperature and oxygen pressure, have been optimized to get better quality films. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, thin films were successfully deposited at the temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and an oxygen partial pressure of 10mTorr and 330mTorr. The dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties have then been characterized. It was found that the films deposited under lower and higher oxygen pressure corresponded to lower leakage current. Magnetism measurement showed an induced ferromagnetism. The microstructures associated with the magnetic and dielectric properties of this mixed-perovskite solid solutions were observed by transmission electron microscopy, which revealed the existence of complicated ferroelectric domains, suggested that the weak spontaneous magnetization was closely associated with the decrease in the extent of rhombohedral distortion by a partial substitution of $BaTiO_3$ for $BiFeO_3$.

The primary purpose of this research is to develop and test a model that explains the process of how multidimensional trust in a supplier firm and salesperson through relational commitment influence buyer's relational citizenship behavior. The proposed framework uses a multidimensional conceptualization for the trustworthiness construct such as benevolence and credibility and incorporates two distinct facets of consumer trust, namely, organization trust, and salesperson trust. The authors test the proposed model using data from MD in buying finns.. The tests show the differential effect of trust dimensions on relational commitment and citizenship behavior. The authors discuss the implications of the findings for trust-commitment theory and practice.

This study has examined the allocation of risk in Korea's private provided Infrastructure(PPI) with the following contents (1) Developing a quantitative risk allocation model for Korea's PPI and (2) examining the implication of changes in the minimum revenue guarantees (MRG) clause of government legislation using the developed empirical model. The model of this study adopts and extends H. Yamaguchi's model developed in 2002. To investigate Korea's actual risk allocation deals, the author incorporated the MRG framework. The payment related to the MRG is indeterminable. Hence. the average MRG rate was calculated using probabilistic risk analysis. The risk allocation model is applied to the two eases to validate the model and evaluate the project's VFM(Value for Money). As the revenue guarantee rate is lowered, the government subsidies are increased. This in turn worsens VFM. The same relationship is true when the revenue guarantee Period is shortened.

Unlike conventional BTO(Build-Transfer-Operate) projects, this BTL project aims at fixing the financial deficiencies of the government and expanding infrastructure through private capital. It allows the government to attract private capital for the construction of public facilities such as schools and social welfare agencies for whom private users don't need to pay, thereby bolstering national finance. BTL projects are causing a variety problems in progress. Therefore, we are required a practical approach to can improving a variety problems. In this study, we were derive the problem areas as follow. First, research data on the problem of domestic BTL projects, Second, high-performing foreign data analysis than domestic. And, we were analyzed to systematic management method for problem areas by using affinity techniques, matrix comparison analysis, AHP technique. Results of this study are expected provide management standards through real problem areas and the analyzing of relatively importance.

Ferroelectric 물질은 고유전성, 자발분극과 전기장에 따른 유전상수의 변화 등의 특성을 가지고 있으므로 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 이러한 ferroelectric 물질의 유전 특성에 미치는 요소로는 물질의 조성비, 박막의 스트레스, 결정성 등이 있다. 특히 스트레스에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 본 연구에서 산화물 인공격자를 이용하여 단일박막에서 얻을 수 없는 격자변형도를 얻어 격자 변형이 박막의 유전특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. BaTiO$_3$ (BTO)/SrTiO$_3$ (STO) 산화물 인공격자를 Pulsed laser deposition (PLD)법으로 (La,Sr)CoO$_3$ 전극이 코팅된 MGO (100) 단결정 기판위에 증착시켰다. 적층 주기에 변화를 주어 BTO와 STO 각각 1.01~1.095와 0.925 ~ 1.003의 단일 막에서는 얻을 수 없는 격자 변형도를 얻었다. 이 실험적 데이터를 기초로 하여 density functional theory (DFT)라고 불리는 범함수밀도론를 기초한 제일원리적 계산 방법을 통하여 격자 변형된 SrTiO$_3$의 구조적, 전기적 특성을 계산하였다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 안정성을 분석하기 위하여 Vienna Ab-intio Simulation Package (VASP) code가 사용되었다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 안정성 분석 후, frozen-phonon 계산 방법을 사용하여 zone-centered optical phonon mode가 계산되었으며, mode effective charge는 Berry-phase polarization 으로부터 얻어졌다. SrTiO$_3$ 격자가 격자변형이 일어나지 않은 상태로부터 c/a= 0.985로 격자 변형 이 일어남에 따라 optical phonon mode는 점차 hardening되었다. BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 경우 SrTiO$_3$ 격자와는 달리 격자 변형이 1.01~1.023으로 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 증가를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가하였으며, 더 이상 격자 변형이 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 감소를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가 유전상수는 증가했다. 격자 변형이 SrTiO$_3$ 와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 optical phonon mode와 Born effective charge에 크게 영향을 미쳤다.

PFI(Private Finance Initiative) Project is carried to expand infrastructure effectively through participation of private investment. From the year 2005, the range is expanded not only industrial infrastructure such as made road, harbors and so on but living infrastructure such as school facilities, environmental facilities. For this reason BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) system is mainly used in new private finance initiative project but in existing private finance initiative project BTO(Build-Transfer-Operate) system was used. BTL system is operated to judge fitness of private investment and classified into quantitative VFM(Value for Money) and qualitative VFM. In this research the estimation item of qualitative VFM which is hard to deduce the effect is created and after surveying of questionnaire in target of experts, relative importance and weight is established with AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). By estimating efficiency and benefit of quantitative VFM and qualitative VFM aspect effectively it is expected to support a rational making decision for operating BTL.

A novel method was suggested for the estimation of design population and design wastewater flow rate in fishing and agrarian village. Even though the population was decreasing continuously in this area, the design population was considered as constant with the passage of the time in conventional methods. And although the portion of groundwater uses was pretty high, the design wastewater flow rate was determined by the supply amount of tap water. Consequently, the design population and the design wastewater flow rate were overestimated. To prevent these overestimates, the design population was predicted to decrease gradually using the population trends from Korea National Statistical Office, and the design wastewater flow rate was determined using the way that the supply amount of tap water was applied in developed areas and the supply amount of groundwater was used in undeveloped areas.
