Sustainability is becoming more and more important in our everyday lives. Thus, it is apparent that more sustainable initiatives are incorporated in a building design concept to reduce operation costs and environmental impacts. However, will the construction cost go up if the building is going green - especially if it is a tall building? This is the question on everyone's mind. In the following paragraphs, we will look into a case study of a skyscraper in Nanning, China. That 411-metre skyscraper, Nanning China Resources Centre East Office Tower, is currently under construction. Designed to LEED-CS Gold standards, the building has adopted a number of sustainable design elements and operation practice, which indeed only accounts for a small percentage of the total construction cost.

동해의 명태어획에 대한 온도변화의 영향을 분석하기 위해 트랜스로그 비용함수를 사용하였다. 명태어획량은 원재료가격과 수온에 매우 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 최근 기후변화가 동해의 수온에 영향을 주고 이는 냉대성 어류인 명태의 어획량 감소에 영향을 주었다. 추정결과 해수온도의 화시 1도 증가는 9%의 어획량을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 기후변화의 영향이 명백한 것으로 보이며 어획량 감소 방지는 어려울 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 우리나라 명태산업의 쇠퇴는 불가피하기 때문에 정책당국의 지원이 냉대성 어류로부터 난대성 어류로 전환되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 하지만 명태의 어획량 감소가 기후변화의 영향만이라고 단정하는 것은 아직까지 어려울 것이다. 다른 설명으로는 국산 명태의 수요 증가에 따른 어린 명태(노가리)의 포획과 수질오염을 들 수 있다. 따라서 정책당국은 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 불법적인 조업과 해양 투기를 단속하여 수산업을 보호해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 동해안 인근 국가들의 정치적인 협력을 통한 명태 어종 보호가 필요할지도 모른다.

A new zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) push-pull pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter is proposed in this paper. The wide ZVS condition for all of the switches is obtained by utilizing the energy stored in the output inductor and magnetizing inductance. As a result, the switching losses can be dramatically reduced. A simple auxiliary circuit including two small diodes and one capacitor is added at the secondary side of a high frequency (HF) transformer to reset the primary current during the circulating stage and to clamp the voltage spike across the rectifier diodes, which enables the use of low-voltage and low-cost diodes to reduce the conducting and reverse recovery losses. In addition, there are no active devices or resistors in the auxiliary circuit, which can be realized easily. A detailed steady operation analysis, characteristics, design considerations, experimental results and a loss breakdown are presented for the proposed converter. A 500 W prototype has been constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed concept.

In this paper we consider the optimal control problem of both operators and parameters for nonlinear hyperbolic systems. For the identification problem, we show that for every value of the parameter and operators, the optimal control problem has a solution. Moreover we obtain the necessary conditions of optimality for the optimal control problem on the system.

Motivated by optimization considerations we revisit the work by Dontchev in [7] involving the convergence of Newton's method to a solution of a generalized equation in a Banach space setting. Using the same hypotheses and under the same computational cost we provide a finer convergence analysis for Newton's method by using more precise estimates.

The objective of this study was to suggest a new efficiency measurement indicator for evaluating the menu management efficiency of decision making units(DMUs) in contract-foodservice operations and to determine the relationship between the DEA(data envelopment analysis) menu efficiency score and menu factors. The results of applying DEA revealed relatively efficient types of service and frequency of meals. The efficient service was shown as a self-service type that operates Monday to Saturday. The considered menu factors included meal price, food cost per meal, meal counts, number of menu items, use of favorite menu use, forecasting error, accuracy of ordering, ratio of inventory, ratio of food loss, use of processed foods and use of prepared vegetables are considered. There were significant correlations between the DEA score and meal price, meal counts, number of menu items, ratio of food loss, accuracy of ordering and use of processed foods respectively. According to the regression results, menu price had a positive influence on the DEA menu efficiency score, and food cost per meal and the use of prepared foods had negative influences respectively.

Purpose: This study assesses the marketing practices and value-added fish products under the Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (COREMAP) in East Indonesia. Research design, data and methodology: This study gathered qualitative and quantitative data through i) focus group discussions (FGD) with fishers, traders and COREMAP officers, ii) surveys and iii) interviews with fishermen and traders. This study surveyed 714 households (365 in COREMAP and 349 in non-COREMAP) and 33 traders (17 in COREMAP and 16 in non-COREMAP) using structured questionnaires between January and March 2016. This study used Shepherd's Index to estimate the marketing efficiency for each stage of the marketing channel. For value-added fish products, the value is determined by the difference between processed output and the raw product used. Results: Marketing cost in the non-COREMAP area was more efficient than in COREMAP as indicated by lower operational cost and higher selling price. However, no value-added fish products were produced in the non-COREMAP area. This study noted a lower catch in COREMAP area, which implies COREMAP program successfully reduced fishing pressure. Conclusions: This study identified poor infrastructure and the limited market as the major problems in developing value-added fish products in both COREMAP and non-COREMAP area.

오늘날 글로벌 금융환경에서는 국가 간 자본이동이 확대되고 금융시스템의 밀접한 연계가 이루어진다. 따라서 어느 특정 국가의 금융위기는 지역 및 글로벌 금융위기로 전이될 소지가 매우 높다. 최근 미국발 글로벌 금융위기(global financial crisis)는 과거 1997~1998년 동아시아 금융위기 이후 동아시아 역내 국가들이 추진하였던 지역 금융협력 및 통합의 필요성을 각인시키는 계기가 되었다. 동아시아 지역 내 금융위기의 재발을 방지하기 위해 역내 국가들은 독자적인 유동성 공급을 위한 치앙마이합의(CMI)와 치앙마이합의 다자화(CMIM)를 실현하였다. CMI와 CMIM에 따른 역내국들 간 통화스왑협정(bilateral swap arrangement)의 확대는 역내 금융위기 발생 시 외화유동성 부족 해결, 지나친 외환보유고 축적에 따른 기회비용 제거, 그리고 견고한 금융협력을 통한 금융통합 추진 및 상호무역의 촉진에 목적이 있다. 동아시아는 특유의 생산네트워크 체제(production sharing system)구축으로 역내교역 비중이 대단히 높다. 금융 통합의 사전적 단계인 긴밀화된 금융협력이 지속적으로 확대되고 있는 상황에서 동아시아 국가들의 금융협력이 역내 수출입 물류에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 임의효과모형 (random effect estimation)과 고정효과모형(fixed effect estimation)을 통해 분석하였다.

Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) is a major contributor to the fatigue damage of marine risers which are often arranged in an array configuration. In addition to helical strakes and fairings, studies have been strived in searching for possible VIV suppression techniques. Inspired by giant Saguaro Cacti, flexible cylinders of different cactus-shaped cross sections were tested in a water tunnel facility, and test results showed that cactus-like body shapes reduced VIV responses of a cylinder at no cost of significant increase of drag. A series of experiments were conducted on a pair of two tandem-arranged flexible cylinders and an array of four cylinders in a square configuration to investigate the effects of wake on the dynamic responses of cylinders and the VIV mitigation effectiveness of the cactus-like body shape. Results showed that the cylinders in a square configuration, either at the upstream or downstream positions, might have larger dynamic responses than those of a single cylinder. The cactus-like body shape could mitigate VIV responses of cylinders at upstream positions in an array configuration; however, similar to helical strakes, the mitigation efficiency was reduced on downstream cylinders. Note that the cactus-like cross-sectional shape investigated was not optimized for VIV suppression. The present study indicates that the modification of the cross-sectional shape of a cylinder to a well-designed cactus-like shape may be used as an alternative technique to mitigate the VIV of marine risers.
