Cemented uranium tailings backfill created from alkali-activated slag (CUTB) is an effective method of disposing of uranium tailings. Using some environmental functional minerals with ion exchange, adsorption, and solidification abilities as backfill modified materials may improve the leaching resistance of the CUTB. Natural zeolite, which has good ion exchange and adsorption characteristics, is selected as the backfill modified material, and it is added to the backfill materials with cementitious material proportions of 4%, 8%, 12%, and 16% to prepare CUTB mixtures with environmental functional minerals. After the addition of natural zeolite, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the CUTB decreases, but the leaching resistance of the CUTB increases. When the natural zeolite content is 12%, the UCS reaches the minimum value of 8.95 MPa, and the concentration of uranium in the leaching solution is 0.28-8.07 mg/L, the leaching rate R₄₂ is 9.61×10^-7 cm/d, and cumulative leaching fraction P₄₂ is 8.53×10^-4 cm, which shows that the alkali-activated slag cementitious material has a good curing effect on the CUTB, and the addition of environmental functional minerals helps to further improve the leaching resistance of the CUTB, but it reduces the UCS to an extent.

One of the main issues in natural resource economics is estimating the amount of stock and the biological growth functions of renewable natural resources. Since the stock level is not directly observed the usual econometric approaches cannot be employed for this purpose. The maximum entropy approach has been suggested as a useful alternative to estimate the dynamic model of natural resource use. This study estimates the stock and the growth function of Korean anchovy using the data for yield and yield efforts. The results show that the current level of anchovy yield exceeds its maximum sustainable yield, which implies that the stock will decrease substantially over time.

해외자원개발사업은 성공할 경우 높은 수익률을 보장하지만 장기적인 투자기간과 높은 시장위험부담으로 인하여 사업의 가치분석에 있어서 사업기간 동안의 여러 가지 변수들을 분석할 수 있는 유연성을 요구하고 있다. 기업의 투자 의사결정과정에서 가장 널리 이용되는 평가방법인 전통적 기존의 현금흐름할인법의 단점을 보완할 대안으로서 제시된 옵션가격 결정모형(Option Pricing Model)을 여타의 다른 자산의 평가 및 사업성 평가에 응용하고자 하는 연구 분야인 실물옵션(Real Options)은 특히 위험도가 큰 자원개발사업의 가치를 평가할 좋은 방법론으로 주목받아왔으나, 다양한 현실적 상황을 도입하게 되면 확률과정이 난해한 형태로 변하여 수학적 처리가 용이하지 않아 실용화에 가장 큰 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 기존의 연구들은 확률과정의 선정과정에서 자원개발사업의 특성이나 실용성을 고려하여 확률과정을 선정하지 않고 기초적인 확률과정을 적용하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 해외자원개발사업을 대상으로 옵션가격 결정모형을 활용하는 경우를 산정하여, 해외자원개발사업의 평가에 쉽게 활용될 수 있는 단순화된 함수의 형태로 표현된 옵션가격 결정모형을 제시해 보았다. 즉, 이론적인 정교한 확률과정을 도출하기보다는 자원개발사업의 특징을 충분히 반영하면서도 사업평가실무에 손쉽게 이용될 수 있는 현실적이면서도 단순한 확률과정을 선정하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 구리, 연, 아연의 국제시장가격의 특성과 연-아연광 개발사업의 사례를 활용하여 기존의 모형연구들과 달리 실제의 위험을 모두 분석하되, 분석하는 모형을 최대한 단순화하여가는 과정을 통하여 Gibson-Schwartz가 제안한 Two-Factor Model과 Long-Term Asset Model을 적절한 모형으로 선정하고, 이를 바탕으로 운영옵션과 투자개시옵션의 두 가지 경영옵션을 분석하여 그 결과를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 분석, 제안한 단순화 과정은 앞으로 옵션가격 결정이론을 바탕으로 한 가치평가모형의 실제사례 적용연구에서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

A concise and efficient one-pot synthesis of chroman-2,4-dione-based HKA derivatives by three component reaction of HKAs, triethoxymethane and 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives under solvent-free and catalyst-free conditions is described. This protocol has many advantages, in that the GAP (Group-Assistant-Purification) chemistry process is involved in this method. As a result, the experimenter can avoid cumbersome process steps such as traditional chromatography and recrystallization purifications. The desired products can be easily obtained by washing the crude products with 95% EtOH.

A new soybean cyst nematode, H. sojae was reported from Korea in 2016. This species is closely related to H. glycines which has the same host plant. Morphological observations of the cyst, female, male and second-stage juveniles indicated that this species is differed from H. glycines. Especially, cysts of H. sojae appeared more round, shining and darker than that of H. glycines. The distribution of this new cyst nematode in soybean field in Korea is unknown so far. In 2016, 270 soil samples were collected from soybean fields and examined the existence of H. glycines and H. sojae. Total of 111 samples contained cysts (41.1%). Among them 77% were H. glycines and 23% were H. sojae. H. sojae is future threatening in soybean production area.

Chitosan(CS) and cellulose acetate(CA) composite films were prepared using formic acid as a cosolvent by casting, solvent evaporating and neutralization method. This study examines if the blending method, which uses formic acid as a cosolvent is efficient in improving the mechanical properties of CS film, especially wet strength and elongation. Formic acid is an effective cosolvent for the blend of CS and CA. Under wet condition, tensile strength and elongation of the composite films were obviously higher than those of the films made from pure CS. FTIR, DSC, and X-ray diffraction showed that the composite films exhibit a high level of compatibility and that strong interaction between the CS and CA was caused by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The affinity series of composite film to transition metal ions are Cu(II) > Cd(II) > Cr(III). The adsorption of Cu((II) ion was shown to be highly pH sensitive.

Purpose: Emerging markets under industrialization have become increasingly influential over the global natural-resource transactions. However, their average deal completion rates have been relatively low. The international business (IB) literature regards the low rate as evidence of 'double hurdle', the extra disadvantages in doing overseas business for firms from developing countries. Because legitimacy building mitigates liability of foreignness, we argue that an acquirer's environmental responsibility effectively builds legitimacy. Research design, data and methodology: Stakeholders in the host country spread the acquirer's environmental responsibility so that, by raising legitimacy, they may strengthen the link between environmental responsibility and deal completion. Our dataset consists of the 608 cross-border acquisition deals announced by the 196 firms in Brazil, Russia, India, and China over 2008-2019 period. Results: A logit regression result confirms that environmental responsibility increases the likelihood of acquisition deal completion. Also, host-market stakeholders positively moderate the relationship between environmental responsibility and the likelihood of deal completion. Conclusions: Overall, this study contributes to the IB literature by identifying environmental responsibility as a key approach to lowering the double hurdle in internationalization of firms in emerging markets. Any emerging multinationals interested in the foreign, brownfield entries to the natural-resource industries must enhance the environmental responsibility, which turns out extremely important.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate in resources of natural recreation forest(RNRF) developed both publicly and privately in order to answer the research question: what are the differences in RNRF development between public and private developers. After reviewing the literature, the developer´s decision-making and motivation of investment, and the planning process of natural recreation forest, We constructed the conceptual framework and have formulated the hypothesis of this research. We had obtained data through a questionnaire, which surveyed of 625 visitors at 9 of the 72 natural recreation forests in Korea in 1999, We have analyzed the data using the mean difference test and logistic regression method. We found that 1) the overall quality of resource elements in RNRF has been development excellent except for the sociocultural element of recreational resources, and public recreation forest have been of higher quality than that fo private development, 20 in bivariate analysis, all the variables on quality of RNRF by public developers have turned out to be better than those of private ones, 3) in multivariate analysis, such variable as valley and water, forest and wildness area, wild life, and landscape have been statistically significant at one percent level, 4) the higher the value of valley and water, the higher the probability of public development, while the higher the value of other variables excluding water and valley, the more likelihood the recreational forest is developed by a private developer, and 5) forest and wildness area has been turned out to be the most important independent variable in contributing to the value of dependent variable. The research results suggest that 1) the differences in the quality of resource elements in RNRF developed by public and private body be considered in the planning and design process in order to develop diverse activities to make use of the resource potential, and 2) considering the resource characteristics of private natural recreation forest and the motivation of private developers, private natural recreation forest will possibly be more dynamic and dynamic attractive areas. It is recommended that the difference in the degree of visitor´s satisfaction between public and private development be examined.
