This paper selects length of berth, area of yard, unloading capacity and number of berth as the input indexes, and cargo turnover as output index to research the source of TFP(Total Factor Productivity) growth of 23 main ports in Korea. The major conclusions are as follows. The TFP of the trade ports in Korea is at the fluctuating stage, but it generally displays a rising trend, and it’s growth originate from the growth of technical efficiency. The Growth rates of TFP of trade ports in the different areas are different, and the sources of growth are also different, but the changing trends are basically the same. Four major factors to the increase of TFP are following: competition between ports, reform of property system, harbor-hinterland economic and international trade, modeling, imitation and innovation in management, technology and system.

Chiral separation of racemic mandelic acid was achieved on a Kromasil KR100-5CHI-TBB column. Some chromatographic parameters (resolution, number of theoretical plates, capacity factor) are calculated under different separation conditions such as changes of mobile phase compositions (hexane/t-BME = 85/15 - 10/90) as well as formic acid concentrations for adjusting pH (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 v/v%). Flow rate versus number of theoretical plates was compared to evaluate column efficiency. To determine the adsorption isotherms, PIM (Pulse Input Method) was carried out. At the concentrations of racemic mandelic acid between 0.1 and 0.3 mg/ml, L- and D-mandelic acids have the same retention times of 8.8 and 9.4 min respectively. Mandelic acid isotherms show a linear form under the concentrations of 0.3 mg/ml with eluent (hexane/t-BME = 75/25). As the concentrations of mandelic acids increase, nonlinear Langmuir isotherms were observed as $C_{S,L}=3.358C_{M,L}/(1+0.0897C_{M,L})$ for L-mandelic acid and, $C_{S,D}=3.692C_{M,D}/(1+0.1457C_{M,D})$ for D-mandelic acid.

This study was carried out to figure out the relationship between EAmaturity, information management capacity, and information performance, and find the effect between these variables and the reciprocal causation. The study found that EAmaturity has a positive effect on information resource management and performance. In other words, the effect of input, calculation, management and utilization factors on information planning in EAmaturity showed that calculation, management and utilization factors have a significant effect on the information planning. While the effect of input, calculation, management and utilization factors on information introduction and management showed that only both calculation and utilization have a significant effect on the information management factor. It says that EAinput in EAmaturity does not play a big part in the planning stage, as well as not go through a series of process that is connected to the maturity stage by immediate field application. Consequently, EAmaturity varies from the level that EAcreates introduction and performance according to organization. This suggests that the maturity and performance can be also changed by the level that EAcreates information performance by accepting and using this capability within organization as well as the capability to introduce and fully perform the EAsystem presented in enterprise architecture framework of public sector.

The resonant planar transformer, which had power capacity of 300 W, input voltage of 220 V, output voltage of 15 V, and switching frequency of 500 kHz, was designed and manufactured by using the planar core with large effective area and the flat copper lead frames for miniaturization and high efficiency of the switching mode power supply (SMPS). As well as, a resonant converter equipped with the above mentioned planar transformer was manufactured and electromagnetic characteristics were investigated. The numerical value of turns for 1st and 2nd winding were 12 and 2 respectively. The self inductance of 1st winding was 33.2 ${\mu}H$, very low leakage inductance of 1.27 ${\mu}H$, and the coupling factor of 0.98 were obtained at switching frequency of 300 kHz. The high efficiency of 88.21 % for the SMPS equipped with planar transformer was obtained at power capacity of 300 W.

The buffer capacity of southern Korean waters in summer was quantified using data set of temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity obtained from August 2020 cruise. The geographical distribution and variability of six buffer factors, which amended the existing Revelle factor, are discussed their relationship with the hydrological parameters of temperature and salinity. The calculated results of six buffer factors showed the spatial variations according to the distributions of various water masses. The buffer capacity was low in the East Sea Surface Mixed Water (ESMW) and South Sea Surface Mixed Water (SSMW) where upwelling occurred, and showed an intermediate value in the Yellow Sea Surface Water (YSSW). In addition, the buffer capacity increased in the order of high temperature Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) and Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW). This means that the Changjiang discharge water in summer strengthens the buffer capacity of the study area. The highest buffer capacity of CDW is due to its relatively higher temperature and biological productivity, and a summer stratification. Temperature showed a good positive correlation (R²=0.79) with buffer capacity in all water masses, whereas salinity exhibited a poor negative correlation (R²=0.30). High temperature strengthens buffer capacity through thermodynamic processes such as gas exchange and distribution of carbonate system species. In the case of salinity, the relationship with buffer capacity is reversed because salinity of the study area is not controlled by precipitation or evaporation but by a local freshwater input and mixing with upwelled water.

Conventional vector control inverter is usually used for blower of air-accord equipment. In this paper, it is proposed that inverter is controlled by instantaneous following PWM controller. This controller compensate and follow for output voltage of inverter within one switching cycle as an error that compared output voltage of rectifier included much ripples with reference voltage of sine wave. It has not speedy response like vector controller, but the circuit is very simple as using analog integer. And it has advantages that develop input power factor, built small-capacity and low-cost because huge capacitor of voltage type inverter removed.

Safe, fast, efficient and effective railway is a main factor of economic development level of every country. This paper uses the DEA method to evaluate and compare the efficiency of 12 Regions of RAI. In addition, we introduce the reference(s) unit(s) for every inefficient region, and determine the amount of input decrease and/or output increase need to become them efficient. Findings indicate that in 2006, 4 regions of 12 are in Constant Return to Scale (CRS) status and 7 of them in Variable Return to Scale (VRS), and the average efficiency is 0.730 and 0.888, respectively. In other words, RAI works 27 percent under its capacity. More over results indicate that Hormozgan, Khorasan, Tehran and Isfahan Regions have the most efficiency respectively. The results show that the 8 regions, have been working in Increaser Return to Scale and 4 reminder Regions in Decrease Return to Scale. According to this results, we submit the suitable suggestion for improve the efficiency of the inefficient regions.

For small capacity rectifier circuits as these for consumer electronics and appli capacitor input type rectifier circuits are gen used. Consequently. various harmonics gen within the power system become a serious pro Various studies of this effect have been pres previously. However. most of these employ swit devices, such as FETs and the like. The absen switching devices makes systems more toleran over -load, and brings low radio noise benefits propose a power factor correction scheme using resonant in commercial frequency without swit devices. In this method. It makes a sinusoidal by widening conduction period using the cu resonance in commercial frequency. Hence, harmonic characteristics can be significantly imp where the lower order harmonics. such as the and seventh orders are much reduced. The resu confirmed by the theoretical and experm implementations.
