The underlying physiology of algal antioxidant compounds is reviewed in the context of seaweed biology and utilization. The application of seaweed antioxidants in foods, food supplements, nutraceuticals and medicine is considered from the perspective of benefits to human health. We advocate that direct consumption of seaweed products for their antioxidant composition alone provides a useful alternative to non-natural substances, while simultaneously providing worthwhile nutritional benefits. Economic utilization of seaweeds for their antioxidant properties remains in its infancy. This review provides examples ranging from laboratory studies through to clinical trials where antioxidants derived from seaweeds may provide major health benefits that warrant subsequent investigative studies and possible utilization.

Diphenyl-2-ethanolamidophosphate (DPEOAP) was synthesized to treat polyester fabrics in order to improve its flame retardancy. The flame retardancy and physical properties of DPEOAP-treated polyester fabrics were investigated. The results were as follows: 1) polyester fabrics can be treated with DPEOAP by means of Pad-Dry-Cure method, because DPEOAP was easily soluble in benzene. 2) The most economic conditions of treatment were determined as 10% of DPEOAP cocentration, $140^{\circ}C$ of curing temperature, and 2 minutes of curing time. 3) Though the washablity of DPEOAP is low in comparison with the other products which are purchasable in a market, it has an excellent flame retardment effect 3 times more than in number of flame contact just with 0.66% add-on. 4) The physical properties of DPEOAP treated polyester fabrics were little changed as compared with non-treated fabric.

The objective of this paper is to apply choice experiment methods to estimate non-market value of organic farming and its policy implication. A preliminary survey shows that the attributes of organic farming are reduce environmental pollution, bio-diversity improvements, cultural diversity improvements and maintain local community, reduce green-house gas emissions, energy saving, landscape improvements and tax for organic farming improvement policy. Questionnaire was eight different choice sets presented to each respondent. Implicit values of the attributive levels of organic farming have been calculated into tax money costs per house. This paper compared the six feasible scenarios in terms of willingness to pay per year. This study is expected to contribute to government's organic farming policies and quantitative information related to practice of organic farming.

SThis paper proposes a new dispatch scheduling algorithm in interconnected regional system operations. The dispatch scheduling formulated as mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem can efficiently be computed by generalized Benders decomposition (GBD) algorithm. GBD guarantees adequate computation speed and solution convergency since it decomposes a primal problem into a master problem and subproblems for simplicity. In addition, the inter-temporal optimal power flow (OPF) subproblem of the dispatch scheduling problem is comprised of various variables and constraints considering time-continuity and it makes the inter-temporal OPF complex due to increased dimensions of the optimization problem. In this paper, regional decomposition technique based on auxiliary problem principle (APP) algorithm is introduced to obtain efficient inter-temporal OPF solution through the parallel implementation. In addition, it can find the most economic dispatch schedule incorporating power transaction without private information open. Therefore, it can be expanded as an efficient dispatch scheduling model for interconnected system operation.

In this paper, the expressions of meromorphic solutions of the following nonlinear complex differential equation of the form $$f^n+Qd(z,f)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{3}pi(z)e^{{\alpha}_i(z)}$$ are studied by using Nevanlinna theory, where n ≥ 5 is an integer, Q_d(z, f) is a differential polynomial in f of degree d ≤ n - 4 with rational functions as its coefficients, p₁(z), p₂(z), p₃(z) are non-vanishing rational functions, and α₁(z), α₂(z), α₃(z) are nonconstant polynomials such that α'₁(z), α'₂(z), α'₃(z) are distinct each other. Moreover, examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the condition.

This study investigated the health outcomes of the aged male workers who retired before 2003, using the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study data. Empirical study shows that the subjective and objective health conditions of the retiree are worse than the non-retired. And the random-effect panel probit analyses got the results that the effects of retirement on health are different by the retirement reason and the subjective health conditions.

Survey is the most frequently used research method in consumer studies. Especially, most researches related to family economic behavior, one area of consumer studies, have been performed using the data of the Family Income and Expenditure Survey(FIES) conducted by National statistic Bureau recently. To extend the usage of the FIES, it was suggested that one person household and rural and fisherian household should be included in the sample. Information on the income of the non-wage earners should be reported as well.

This paper presents a new approach to analyze the stability of dynamic competitive markets within the framework of supervisory control of discrete event systems. A competitive market is representative of free market economy where it is well known that an invisible hand (also referred to as Walrasian auctioneer) always achieves an equilibrium of demand and supply. Upon the framework of supervisory control theory, this paper shows that Walrasian auctioneer is a stabilizing supervisor for a convergent competitive market, however a non-convergent competitive market (e.g. a free market under economic bubble and depression) controlled by Walrasian auctioneer may not be stable.

The buckling behavior of CWR tracks is affected by the various parameters such as stiffness and geometry of track panel, ballast resistance, rail temperature, initial imperfection, and wheel load. Until now, CWR tracks were managed by the dichotomous logic (deterministic approach) despite these influence factors are having the nature of random variables. So, the design method and existing management process to prevent the track buckling can be very non-economic since the value of these influence factors to calculate the track buckling strength are selected by considering the worst track condition. In this study, buckling probability evaluation process is proposed which is based on the reliability index, AFOSM method, and limit state equation.

The purpose of this study is to test the Kuznets Hypothesis on the relationship between environmental pollution and economic growth by using the panel data. The major results of the study can be summarized threefold as follows. First, previous studies can pose the risk of spurious regression because of the nature of non-stationery of the data used. Second, the result of the co-integration test indicates that the emission of $CO_2$ and per capita income are co-integrated. Finally, according to the results of OLS and DOLS estimation, the turning point in this study is set in far higher level of per capita income compared with those in previous studies.
