Urban design claiming the notion of 'Sustainability', which inevitably includes ecological complexity, is normally geared towards the reflection of environmentally-friendly technical guidelines in the existing planning process. Although physical planning should be combined with economic, social, cultural, environmental issues, and policies, it is conducted conventionally as the sum of the closed sectoral approaches of planning. To overcome this limit, Design Charrette was invented for sustainable urban design or community design, which should consider the complexity of diverse issues. This design process unveils complicated and divergent problems and a variety of stakeholders participate in the integrated design simultaneously and cooperatively. Because Design Charrette must also be a process of agreement, it is used for sustainable community design. The aim of this study was to introduce Design Charrette as an alternative of Korean sustainable urban design, which is regarded as 'making guidelines related to green principles'. For such a purposes, the definition and differentiation of Design Charrette will be explained with an analysis of the introduction background, benefit and procedure. The contents, system and process of Design Charrette will be analyzed through case studies in Canada, where this method of design is widespread. In the last part, the implementation system (the comprehensive system of organization / content and direction of planning / process and output) will be deduced after concentrated analysis of one respected case, 'Sensitive Urban Infill Charrette' of the City of Surrey. This implementation system will be a crucial reference to develop Korean Design Charrette.

This article deals with the nature of ISDS along with the admissibility thereof, for the settlement of investment disputes between states and nationals of other states. ICSID as an organization of World Bank Group, has been established in 1966 and as of May in 2011, 157 nations ratified its convention. As for the Republic of Korea(ROK) it has been involved in the problematic situation with regard to ISDS of the KORUS FTA in negotiation with the United States. The ruling Grand National Party is pushing the FTA for ratification including ISDS. However, the opposition party, the Unified Democratic Party rejected the ISDS with a view to a toxin infringing on its judiciary sovereignty. The ROK has invested in the US 3.5 times more than the US did in Korea up to now. As a result, it seems that the ROK is more concerned about ISDS than the US is, considering that exhausting local remedy through the US local courts, applying even a municipal ordinance in their decisions which will be unsatisfactory toward the ROK side. The ROK is now struggling with the ISDS as a political issue between the ruling party and the opposition party mostly based on sovereignty with a reference on AUSFTA which excluded the ISDS. Australian model about ISDS has been impacted by the experience from the NAFTA which allowes direct claims against each other(the US against Canada and Canada against the US). It seems not to be much sympathy for developed countries because it has long been held to standards for pressing on developing countries. Australia is also struggling with ISDS from the political point of view likewise the ROK. And the ISDS is destined to the political situations established within the domestic countries among the political parties in relation with the acceptance or rejection of thereof.

The purpose of this study was to develop the new marriage preparation program for premarital couples. To develop the new program existing studies and programs for the marriage preparation in Korea. U. S. A and Canada were reviewed. The new marriage preparation program was consisted with eight-session(two hours per session)program that is Realistic expectations of marriage, Understanding of themselves & partner Role expectations, Communication Intimacy Conflict resolution Sexuality Financial management. Major findings were as follows: 1. The new marriage preparation program for premarital couples was improved participants' premarital couple relationship 2,. Participants had positive impression to various aspects of the new marriage preparation program such as Realistic expectations of marriage Understanding of themselves & partner Role expectation Effective communication skill Effective conflict resolution skill.

All over the world, including England & Wales, USA(PJM, California, New York etc.), Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Korea, experience deregulation in the electric power sector. Inevitably, new terminologies associated with this field art generated more and more. Therefore, this paper proposes explanation principles of new terminologies in electric power deregulation.

In December 1999, the AICPA introduced WebTrust, a electronic commerce assurance service of ensuring safe trading on the web, in order to effect consumer confidence into electronic commerce. Shortly afterwards, CPA associations of other advanced nations, such as Canada, Australia, also adopted this service. This study focuses on introduction of electronic commerce assurance service of ensuring safe trading on the web. WebTrust assurance service expected to be the international standard in electronic commerce in the near future and not only as a source of income for domestic accounting firms, which have simpler income structure than the international counterparts, but also as catalyst for stimulating electronic commerce. The findings of the study are expected to contribute to accounting practice, academy of accounting and electronic commerce firms in the following ways. Domestically, as Korea is considering using the electronic commerce assurance service, this study will help promote adoption of WebTrust assurance service. This study has shown, in the midst of declining income of accounting firms by audit, a way to increase their audit boundary.

In this paper, we presented a new approach to the recognition of unconstrained handwritten numerals using an improved RBF(Radial Basis Function) Neural Networks. The RBF Neural Networks used Raised Cosine as a basis function to improve discrimination and reduce processing time. The performance of Raised Cosine RBF Neural Networks classifier was evaluated using totally unconstrained handwritten numeral database of Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, and the experimental results showed the recognition rate of 98.05%.

필수설비에 대한 개념은 국가마다 조금씩 다르게 정의되고 있으며, 이에 따라 통신정책의 형태에 있어서도 다양성을 갖는다. 특히 캐나다의 규제기관인 CRTC는 특정 설비의 독점성 여부, 해당 설비가 경쟁사업자의 서비스제공에 있어서 필수성 여부(대체 설비의 이용 가능성), 경쟁사업자의 자체 구축 가능성 둥을 종합적으로 고려하여 필수설비를 정의하고 있다. 현재 캐나다에서 필수설비로 규정된 통신설비는 전화국 코드, 가입자 명부, 특정 구역 내에 있는 가입자선로 등이 해당된다. 한편, 필수설비의 요건은 일치하지 않으나 경쟁도입 초기에 경쟁사업자의 시장진입을 촉진하고, 경쟁사업자에게 어느 정도의 자체 통신망 구축 유인을 제공하기 위하여 도시지역의 가입자선로, 트래픽 중계 및 CCS7 전송서비스에 대해서는 5년 동안에 한하여 세분화의무를 부과하고 있다. 아울러 전주, 관로 등 지원 구조물은 이미 전기통신법 상에 관련 규정이 있다는 점에서 별도로 필수설비 규정을 부과하지 않고 있다.

In 600 MWe CANDU-PHW reactors PMCR will be used on-site for calibration of the regional overpower system. PMCR will be executed off-line in one of the station computers. The program calculates accurate channel power maps by incorporating a fuel turnup dependent flux to power conversion algorithm. Fuel turnup is calculated by PMCR, hence it is independent of other software. Extensive comparisons with the uniform flux/power conversion approximations were made. Significant improvements in power mapping accuracy are achieved with PMCR.

Based on the current high-level radioactive waste management basic plan and the analysis results of spent nuclear fuel characteristics, such as dimensions and decay heat, an improved geological disposal concept for spent nuclear fuel from domestic nuclear power plants was proposed in this study. To this end, disposal container concepts for spent nuclear fuel from two types of reactors, pressurized water reactor (PWR) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU), considering the dimensions and interim storage method, were derived. In addition, considering the cooling time of the spent nuclear fuel at the time of disposal, according to the current basic plan-based scenarios, the amount of decay heat capacity for a disposal container was determined. Furthermore, improved disposal concepts for each disposal container were proposed, and analyses were conducted to determine whether the design requirements for the temperature limit were satisfied. Then, the disposal efficiencies of these disposal concepts were compared with those of the existing disposal concepts. The results indicated that the disposal area was reduced by approximately 20%, and the disposal density was increased by more than 20%.
