We conducted research to evaluate economically and engineering about the synthesis of Magnesium Oxide, MgO, nanoparticles using physicochemical methods. The method used was economic evaluation by calculating GPM, BEP, PBP, and CNPV. The other method used was engineering perspective. MgO nanoparticles were synthesized by reacting Mg(NO₃)₂ and NaOH with a mole ratio 1: 2. Mg(OH)₂ formed was heated and calcined to remove water content and to oxidation to form MgO. An economic evaluation by calculating GPM and CNPV for the production of MgO nanoparticles on an industrial scale shows that the payback period (PBP) occur in the third year and profits increase each year. Tax variations show that the higher of tax, the lower profits received. When there was an increase of selling prices, the profit was greater. The variable cost used is the price of raw material. When there was an increased in the variable cost price, the payback period was longer and the profits was reduced. The benefit of this research is knowing the industrial production of MgO nanoparticles is beneficial. The function of MgO nanoparticles is a material for the manufacture of ceramics and can be used as an antimicrobial in the water filtration process.

Fast fashion companies have generated enormous amounts of clothing and large quantities of unsold or short-lived clothing end up in the landfill. As if to counter fast fashion, sustainable fashion has arisen for environmentally friendly garments at different levels from the fiber stage to production stage. However it is still fraught with uncertainty of systems in the industry. Therefore, this study proposed a system to create re-valued clothing from recycled garments for retailers. The target companies are large-sized retailers like Levi's, Polo, Gap, or J-Crew which are consistently producing basic items such as Levi's 501 or Classic Polo shirts with middle-prices. At the material stage, this study recommended additional requirements of designing a garment with a long life cycle based on criteria of an ideal garment developed by Patagonia clothing company. Then, this study explored innovative ways that retailers might connect with consumers to allow direct interaction between them in terms of the process of collecting used clothes. Using recycled clothing as a source material, this study strove to offer a process of redesign where the concept of 'waste to fashion' is developed as reconstructions where old forms are transformed into new ones.

Recently, the gap between demand and supply of natural aggregate has increased owing to the depletion of aggregate sources. Therefore, policy support is necessary for the stable supply of aggregate resources. Public and construction works experience problems when they do not receive a steady supply of aggregate. Further, instabilities in aggregate supply lead to increases in aggregate prices, and consequently construction costs. As a result, the likelihood of poor construction using low-grade aggregate increases. It is therefore crucial to put measures in place that deal with these issues. This study aims to reduce the load imposed by aggregate use on the environment by recycling soil dredged from sewage ducts to reduce the gap between supply and demand of fine aggregate. The dredged soil is assessed using an applicability test for quality characteristics and solidification with basic properties. This study aims to secure the safety of dredging soil and solidified objects through interior physical and chemical analyses and to utilize it as a base material for concrete solidification in the future.

Recently, the demand for eco-friendly parts has increased to reduce materials and parts that use fossil fuels. This has exacerbated the increase of energy prices and the enforcement of regulations by environmental agencies. Currently, polylactic acid (PLA) is a solution, as a common and eco-friendly material. PLA is a biodegradable material that can replace traditional petrochemical polymers. PLA has great advantages since it is resistant to cracking and shrinkage. When it is manufactured, there are few harmful byproducts. Improvement in the brittleness characteristics is another important task to be monitored throughout the production of industrial parts. Improvement in the brittleness property of products lowers the tensile strength and tensile elasticity modulus of the parts. This study focused on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed PLA parts. Tensile tests are performed while varying the infill print parameters to evaluate the applicability of PLA in several industrial areas.

In the 21^st century, the demand for eco-friendly leather, such as eco-leather and vegan leather, is steadily increasing. This study examines the influence of eco-friendliness on consumers' purchasing intentions and the possibility of eco-friendly changes in the fashion accessory market, which is dominated by leather material and leather substitutes. This study administered a questionnaire survey to 227 males and females between 20 and 60 years of age in Korea. With a 5-point Likert scale, data were collected on evaluation criteria when purchasing shoes and bags and purchasing intention of various leather substitute materials according to the democratic variables. The eco-friendliness attitude was divided into eco-consciousness and green behavior. As the eco-friendly attitude increased, most purchasing standards increased, but the purchasing criteria, such as trends, brands, and prices, did not correlate with the eco-friendly attitude. The eco-consciousness of a consumer had a high correlation with the design evaluation criteria, while the green behavior of the consumer aligned with durability and comfort criteria when purchasing a bag. There was a preference for recycled leather, vegetable leather, synthetic leather, and chemical leather, and the fabric type was ranked as natural fiber, biodegradable fiber, and synthetic fiber. Consumers with both green behavior and eco-consciousness are more likely to purchase biodegradable textiles and vegetable leather for the material of shoes and bags.

The purpose of this study were : (1) to analyze the commercial sizes in Korea , (2) to investigate the designs and materials of one-piece dresses, and (3) to ascertain the prices and tendency to sale of dresses. A questionaire and the interviews with some producers were used for this study. The questionaire was made with many items after the pretest. For the statistical analysis, 99 dresses were used among 141 dresses which were examined. The observation of ten observers was made in markets(group A), department stores (group B), and commercial agents of manufacture (group C). The period of observation was from April 10 to May 4 , 1979. The results of this study indicated that : (1) According to makers , the commercial sizes in Korea were different. The sizes were based on only waist in group A , body measurements in group B, and either of them in group C. (2) In dress style, the box dresses were popular in three groups. (3) The type of sleeve in group A, B and C showed in following order : set in sleeve > dropped shoulder > raglan sleeve. (4) The most necklines were finished with collars. The shirtwaist collars were popular in group A and C and the flat collars in group C. (5) In dress material , cotton/polyester was popular in group A, wool in group B, and silk in group C.

한국은 중국과의 교역 규모가 큰 데다 금융부문의 연계성 또한 점차 강화되고 있어 중국 통화정책 변화가 다양한 경로를 통해 한국 경제에 파급영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 중국 통화정책 운영상의 특징과 최근 운영 현황을 살펴보고, VAR 모형을 이용하여 중국 통화정책 변화가 한국 경제에 미치는 영향과 파급경로에 대해 분석하였다. 중국 통화정책 변화의 파급경로를 대중 수출 및 무역수지 등 한국 교역변수(무역경로)와 이자율, 주가, 물가 등 금융변수(금융경로, 원유가격경로)에 미치는 영향으로 나누어 분석한 결과, 중국 통화정책 완화 충격은 무역경로 중 수직적 무역통합 경로를 통해 한국의 대중 중간재 수출을 증가시킨 것으로 나타났다. 반면 지출전환 경로와 소득수요 경로는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 금융경로 및 원유가격경로에서는 글로벌 투자자금 흐름 재조정, 금리차 및 원자재가격 변동 등을 통해 중국 통화정책 완화 충격이 한국 금리 하락과 주가 및 물가 상승을 유발하는 것으로 나타났다.

건설공사비지수는 과거의 공사데이터를 바탕으로 신규공사의 공사비를 추정할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 공사 수행 중 원가를 구성하는 비목의 가격이 상승 또는 하락할 경우 계약금액을 조정하는데도 활용된다. 국내의 경우 건설공사비지수는 주로 계약금액 조정을 위해 활용되고 있지만 계약금액 조정에 활용되는 지수의 경우 비목별 지수 산정시 건설원가의 변동을 적절하게 반영하지 못하는 문제점이 지적되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 공사비지수 산정에 관한 선행 연구들을 비교 분석하고, 도로 건설공사 내역서의 분석을 통해 노무, 재료, 기계경비를 구성하는 주요 항목들을 중심으로 도로 건설공사비지수를 산정하는 방법론을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 각 비목별 주요 항목의 투입 구성비를 활용한 지수산정 방법론의 적용을 통해서 건설원가의 변동을 적절히 반영하지 못한다는 기존의 문제점이 보완될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 2012년 1월부터 2018년 5월까지의 주별 건화물선 운임과 원자재 가격 자료를 사용하여 두 변수간의 비대칭적인 관계를 다음의 두 가지를 중심으로 실증 분석한다. 첫째, 원자재가격의 거시경제지표에 대한 비대칭성을 2단계 경계(threshold) 공적분 검정모형으로 추정한다. 둘째, 기존의 원자재가격 변화의 무역수지에 대한 비대칭관계 검정을 보다 고빈도 건화물선 운임지수로 우회해서 검정한다. 추정결과 기존의 선형 분석과 대조적으로 하한과 상한에 대한 각각의 경계값이 상이한 비대칭성을 갖는 것으로 드러났다. 이는 불규칙적인 수익률 변동을 유발하는 급격한 잔차의 변동 구간이 원자재 가격과 건화물선 운임간의 선형의 장기균형관계가 성립하지 않도록 함을 의미한다. 따라서 이상의 추정결과는 급격한 가격 변화를 분석에 고려하기 위해서는 불규칙(irregular)적인 변동성을 제어하는 무반응(band of inaction)구간을 모형에 포함하는 것이 필요함을 의미하며 기존의 원자재가격의 무역수지에 대한 비대칭성과 일치하는 실증분석 결과다.

The increased diversity of different types of energy sources requires moving towards smart distribution networks. This paper proposes a probabilistic DG (distributed generation) units planning model to determine technology type, capacity and location of DG units while simultaneously allocating ESS (energy storage systems) based on pre-determined capacities. This problem is studied in a wind integrated power system considering loads, prices and wind power generation uncertainties. A suitable method for DG unit planning will reduce costs and improve reliability concerns. Objective function is a cost function that minimizes DG investment and operational cost, purchased energy costs from upstream networks, the defined cost to reliability index, energy losses and the investment and degradation costs of ESS. Electrical load is a time variable and the model simulates a typical radial network successfully. The proposed model was solved using the DICOPT solver under GAMS optimization software.
