In recent years, low impact development (LID) has emerged as an effective approach to control stormwater in an urban area, and watershed and stormwater managers need modeling tools to evaluate alternative plans for controlling stormwater. This study illustrates how to design and evaluate the effect of non-point pollutant management using SUSTAIN which is developed by USEPA. SUSTAIN can provide evaluating, selecting, and placing LID facilities in an urban catchment based on user-defined cost-effectiveness criteria. Also, this paper suggests a minimal methodology for estimating model parameters for modeling an ungauged urban catchment to reflect the situation of typical Korean urban interested catchments which are usually ungauged. In addition, the optimal length of various LID facilities and the optimal number of units in our test catchment are estimated.

This study aims to investigate factors influencing customer behavior towards nylon bags and single-use plastics. These factors are environmental protection awareness, health protection awareness, sense of responsibility, expectations, and green marketing. A quantitative method with the use of surveys is deployed to collect data of young people under 30, generating 1650 valid responses. The collected data is then analyzed with SPSS 22, using Cronbach's Alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis to test the reliability of the model before validating the hypotheses by regression analysis. The study found that the majority of respondents are inclined to use plastic bags, despite their environmental awareness. The results also demonstrate that health consciousness, environmental concerns, self-driven responsibility for the sustainability of young people have a significant impact on their behaviors in using nylon bags and plastic products, whereas expectation and green marketing are confirmed not to be the factors. The study suggests that if green marketing is to gain higher influence, an increase in research and development to support other environmentally friendly packaging would be the right path. Finally, this research proposes some feasible recommendations for the government, which include imposing bolder and more targeted environmental policies on consumers and introducing educational campaigns to raise awareness about minimizing plastic consumption.

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) was filled with glass fiber (GF), aramid fiber (AF), and solid lubricants to improve the mechanical properties and wear resistance. The addition of GF effectively enhanced the tensile strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength of PPS, while solid lubricants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$), and tungsten disulfide ($WS_2$) lowered the friction coefficients of the composites to below 0.3. The ball nut and motor pulley of the electric power steering (EPS) were manufactured using the PPS composites, and feasibility was ascertained thereafter by conducting the durability test. The composites filled with GF and AF showed high mechanical strength, but slip occurred at the interface between the pulley and belt while testing above $50^{\circ}C$. When small amounts of lubricants were added, the slip was no longer detected because of the suppression of friction heat. It is realized that the low friction as well as high mechanical properties is important to ensure the reliability of plastic pulleys.

This study aims to consider the role of women serving in the executive committee of the company and determine how it related to corporate social and environmental responsibilities (CSR and ESR). The data was collected from the 344 companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) between 2013 and 2014. Especially, the CSR and ESR data was collected from the annual report and used to measure activities related to environmental and social responsibilities of companies listed on the SET. This study employed panel analysis regression to analyze the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The results indicated that the role of women who served in the executive committees of companies listed on SET had a positive impact on the social and environmental responsibilities of companies listed on the SET. The Granger causality test showed that the proportion of women holding positions on the board of directors had a statistically significant relationship with CSR and ESR, which is a unidirectional relationship. Moreover, the size of the company and the return to total assets also have a positive significant relationship with the CSR and ESR.

This study uses the human resource management (HRM) practice and ability, motivation, and opportunities (AMO) theory and corporate social and environmental responsibility, to explore the effects of environmental responsible human resource management practice (ER-HRM) on energy-intensive manufacturing's green technology innovation and organizational effectiveness. A self-completed questionnaire was administered to managers of energy-intensive manufacturing in the Lao PDR. The data was collected from 198 managers of energy-intensive manufacturing for analysis. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) by smart PLS 3.0 to test the hypotheses in this research. The findings have shown a strong direct and positive impact of the environmental ability, motivation, and opportunity of ER-HRM practice on green technology innovation and organizational effectiveness. The ability of ER-HRM practice has the highest influence on green technology innovation and organizational effectiveness. The findings also prove the partial mediation of green technology innovation links ER-HRM with organizational effectiveness. This research is expected to identify the influences of ER-HRM in energy-intensive manufacturing to achieve innovation and performance while reducing emissions.

원자력 산업계는 최근 원전 계측제어계통 설비의 단종과 같은 예상치 못한 환경에 직면해오고 있으며, 이러한 문제를 근본적으로 해결하고자 노력하고 있다. IAEA, IEC, 등의 연구결과에 따르면, FPGA는 단종이 예상되는 제어계통에의 대체수단으로 주목받고 있다. FPGA가 원자력 플랜트의 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller)를 대체하기 위해서는 높은 건정성과 신뢰성을 가져야 한다. 따라서, FPGA 기반 제어기의 건전성과 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위하여 HDL 개발수명주기를 적용하여 개발하였다. 또한, 원전 계측제어계통에 적용하기 위하여 번인시험과 환경시험의 기기검증이 수행되었다. 시험수행결과, 352시간의 번인시험과 92시간의 환경시험 중에 정상적인 기능 및 성능을 수행함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 부트스트랩(Bootstrap) 기법을 이용하여 측우기 강우량 관측계열(CWK)과 근대우량계 강우량 관측 계열(MRG)에 대해 동질성 분석을 실시하였다. 서로 다른 두 자료계열에 대한 전통적인 통계적 동질성 검정 방법은 모집단의 분포형을 알고 있어야 검정결과가 유효하였기 때문에 모집단의 분포가 복잡한 기상자료들은 이러한 전통적 방법을 사용하여 동질성을 파악하는 것이 매우 어려웠고 결과로 제시된 통계적 유의성에 대해서도 의심의 여지가 있었다. 이러한 이유로 본 논문에서는 모집단을 가정하지 않아도 되는 비모수적 모의 방법인 부트스트랩 기법을 이용하여 모집단을 직접 추정한 후 경험누가확률분포를 산정하여 두 자료계열간 통계적 동질성 검정을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 CWK와 MRG는 미소한 기후의 경년변화(trend)의 영향을 제외하면 동질성을 가진 자료로 볼 수 있었다.
