Clean development mechanism (CDM) validity study was conducted to suggest better and more adaptable CDM scenario on water treatment plant (WTP). Potential four scenarios for CDM project; improvement of intake pumping efficiency, hydro power plant construction, solar panel construction and system optimization of mechanical mixing process were evaluated on S-WTP in Korea. Net present value (NPV) of each scenario was estimated based on sensitivity analysis with the variable factors to investigate the CDM validity percentile. Hydro power plant construction was the best option for CDM business with 97.76% validity and $1,127,069 mean profit by 9,813 $tonsCO_2e$/yr reduction. CDM validity on improvement of intake pumping efficiency was 90.2% with $124,305 mean profit by huge amount of $CO_2$ mitigation (10,347 $tonsCO_2e$/yr). System optimization of mechanical mixing process reduced 15% of energy consumption (3,184 $tonsCO_2e$/yr) and its CDM validity and mean profit was 77.25% and $23,942, respectively. Solar panel construction could make the effect of 14,094 $tonsCO_2$ mitigation annually and its CDM validity and mean profit was 64.68% and $228,487, respectively.

Purposes: The Common Data Model(CDM) is very important for multi-institutional research. There are various domestic and international CDM construction cases to actively utilize it. In order to construct a CDM, different terms from each institution must be mapped to standard terms. Therefore, we intend to derive the importance and major issues of terminology mapping and propose a solution in CDM construction. Methodology/Approach: This study conducted terminology mapping between Electronic Health Record(EHR) and MOA CDM for constructing Medical Record Observation & Assessment for Drug Safety(MOA) CDM at Dankook University Hospital in 2022. In the process of terminology mapping, a CDM standard terminology process and method were developed and terminology mapping was performed by applying this. The constructions of CDM mapping terms proceeded in the order of diagnosis, drug, measurement, and treatment_procedure. Findings: We developed mapping guideline for CDM construction and used this for mapping. A total of 670,993 EHR data from Dankook University Hospital(January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021) were mapped. In the case of diagnosis terminology, 19,413 were completely mapped. Drug terminology mapped 92.1% of 2,795. Measurement terminology mapped 94.5% of 7,254 cases. Treatment and procedure were mapped to 2,181 cases, which are the number of mapping targets. Practical Implications: This study found the importance of constructing MOA CDM for drug side effect monitoring and developed terminology mapping guideline. Our results would be useful for all future researchers who are conducting terminology mapping when constructing CDM.

Transport sector takes charge of about 20 percent of energy consumption and GHG(Green House Gas) emission in Korea. One of the efficient strategy of reducing GHG is introducing CDM(Clean Development Mechanism), which is one of GHG reduction systems in Kyoto Protocol. Nowadays many tries have done to regist transport policies as CDM in transport sector, however, a lot of things should be investigated to regist CDM in advance. The aim of this paper is assessment of CDM possibility in transport sector. First of all, we review steps and criteria to CDM registration, and select 4 CDM possibility assessment index in transport sector: as follows additionality, methodology, emission calculation, and monitoring. Also, we analyze registed projects and methodologies in transport sector. To assess CDM possibility in transport sector, quantitative and qualitative assessments are carried out in this study. 18 transport policies are categorized as 4 groups and possibility of 18 transport policies are examined. Several policies can reduce GHG, however, they are not fit to regist as a CDM. On the contrary many transport policies have possibility to regist. In addition, we have done questionnaire survey, 'fuel change' policies have high possibility to CDM. However transport policies related to haman activity, like as TOD, have lower possibility. As a result, we can find that enough CDM possibility assessment should be carried out before CDM registration in transport sector.

Current, Registration fields of CDM projects are being conducted in a variety of parts such as mostly energy, chemical processing and manufacturing processes. However, there are not many CDM project registrations by recycling of inorganic waste. In this paper, analysis abroad CDM project and applications in order to review possibility of CDM project registration through the recycling of domestic inorganic waste were investigated. As a results, registered case of CDM project by inorganic waste recycling was researched to registrate in raw material alternative field of cement industry that inorganic waste can be used in large quantities. Application prospects of CDM project in Korea will be possible to analysis industrial scale, industry using inorganic raw materials, green house gas emissions and inorganic waste generated in large quantities.

UN-REDD (United Nations programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in Developing Countries) and AR-CDM (Afforestation/Reforestation-Clean Development Mechanism) is currently being emerged as one of important mechanism to reduce carbon dioxide in relation to the deforestation. Discussion on North Korea as UN-REDD/AR-CDM project target continues with a view to preventing deforestation and to securing CER(certified emission reduction) for South Korea. The forests in Mt. Baekdu are degraded, deforestation is occurred, nevertheless, portion of forested area is still high, where both REDD and AR-CDM investment potential are quite high. Accordingly, this study is intended to explore a simultaneous registration potential to UNREDD/AR-CDM for Mt. Baekdu although separate registration to UN-REDD or AR-CDM has already gained worldwide recognition as a typical method in the process of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) reduction project. The results indicate that selecting UN-REDD or AR-CDM in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition could capture 53.2% more carbon dioxide than REDD alone and 21.9% more than AR-CDM alone. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a realistic evidence to introduce carbon sequestering project in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition.

CDM(Clean Development Mechanism) is one of three Kyoto mechanisms. As a non-annex I party of UNFCCC, Korea can host CDM projects. Currently eight CDM projects are hosted in Korea under Kyoto protocol. Six of these CDM projects are related to renewable energy power generation. Renewable energy power plants assumes zero GHGs emission and has great potential to become COM projects which is very environmental friendly energy. Gangwon wind park CDM project is the first renewable CDM project in Korea. In this research, emission factors and additionality proving process are studied, which are important procedures of doing CDM project.

The objective of this study was to select appropriate sites for reforestation CDM using satellite image and spatial data in North Korea. A suitable site for reforestation CDM can be defined as non-forest area since 1990. To detect land cover change between two different years and to delineate potential reforestation CDM site(unstocked forest, converted crop land, denuded bare land), Landsat TM satellite image which was scanned in 1988 and SPOT Pan-sharpened image which was scanned in 2007 were used. As a result of classification, 1,214 ha of forest area in 1989 had been converted to other land cover types in 2007. and 2,245 ha of the total study area was detected to be suitable for reforestation CDM. 79.2% of total potential CDM sites was converted crop land. Through topography and accessibility analysis for potential reforestation CDM sites detected by satellite image, suitability index was calculated and the potential reforestation area was reclassified into suitability grades.

CDM(Clean Development Mechanism) project is said to be a mechanism, which profits both the investing country and the host country, while additionally contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases of the earth as a whole. However in reality, most of the proposed projects do not end up in agreement because of the problems related to differences in recognition between the investing country and the host country of the CDM project. This outlines the background for this research which proposes a new design of institutional arrangements of CDM projects in the Northeast Asian region, mainly Japan, China and Korea. In addition, we investigate the feasibility of the proposed design. The research firstly focuses on the reduction in transaction costs that the participation of Korea will have on a Japan-China CDM project. This paper further emphasizes the potential gains that would materialize if a CDM project involved the whole Northeast Asian region, and not only one country. Our research suggests that an approximate reduction of 23% in transaction costs, and about 4% reduction in the total costs of a CDM project can be expected to follow the Korean participation. In addition to decreasing costs we find that a Korean involvement in a CDM project with Japan will lead to efficiency gains illustrated by a higher increase in the IRR(Internal rate of return) in a Japan-Korea project(11.45% to 12.21%) compared to an IRR incresement of 10.57% to 11.27% for a pure Japanese CDM project. Similar results of a rise in the IRR is found for the whole investment period of 20 years. We can hence conclude that Korean participation in a Japan-China CDM project would improve the implementation possibilities of CDM project in the Northeast Asia region.

In the controller design of position or velocity control system, the flexibility of the mechanical system is always the limiting factor to the higher performance. Most mechanical systems coupled with rotary shaft are 2-Inertia systems which are consist of motor and load inertia. These inertias make a torsion In rotary shaft and cause torsional vibration. To suppress vibration, various control strategies have been proposed mainly for controlling 2-inertia system. In this paper, a speed controller design for a 2-inertia system composed of voltage controlled DC motor and load inertia is made by using CDM(coefficient diagram method). First, the 2-inertia system model is derived. Then the CDM is used to design the proper controller. A validity of this approach is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.
