Recently, habitat fragmentation and shrinkage has occurred because of increased road construction. As a measures mitigating the adverse effect such as eco-island by road construction, Korea has been installed eco-corridors since 1995. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study analyzed the importance of assessment items and the criteria to determine which areas require eco-corridors the most. First, related literature reviews, preliminary surveys, and expert interviews were carried out to develop assessment items and criteria for constructing the hierarchy. Second, experts were surveyed in order to determine the relative importance of the assessment items by applying the AHP. As a result, it found that the restoration of the ecological network was the most important assessment item, followed by wild animal resources in the Level 3. In the Level 4, the eighteen items were ranked in the order of their relative weight and it was found that the 'Baekdudaegan Mountain Range (0.189)' was the highest ranked item. Therefore, this approach can be applied to effective selection of the priority areas in planning eco-corridors in the national scale.

Accurate block shape assessment is critical for ship manufacturing and a careful assessment of the shape of a fabricated block against the design shape is a core issue. However, in current fabrication practice, the shape of each block is evaluated manually using rigid body transformation. This manual evaluation process entirely depends on workers' experiences and knowledge and makes automation of block shape assessment difficult. In this paper we propose a computation method on the registration for shape assessment of a block during the fabrication process and for evaluation of its completion against the design shape. A conversion on matching method by adding DOF(degree of freedom) restriction is required to reach the goals. We test our method using a real block quality assessment data to demonstrate its applicability to real ship manufacturing process.

The Seventh Curriculum uses not only individual assessment but also team assessment method that organizes and solves assignments by team unit. It also helps students to learn cooperation and responsibility and share the ideas and process of the team project with other students through class presentation. It is also cooperative learning which is performed by several students together. Therefore, the assessment of team project is required to synthetically assess the performance process not the itself. This thesis will examine the actual problems about team project assessment and analyze related literatures. Then, this study designs and implements a practical system which alleviates the burden of teachers in charge of a team project assessment and improves reliability and validity in assessing team projects through multilateral assessment aiming at process as well as result objectives.

In this paper, the methodology of life-cycle assessment was applied to an ethanol production process based on fermentation. The purpose of the assessment was to quantify environmental performance of the process and to prepare a basis for environmental comparisons with the ethanol production process based on catalytic reaction. The assessment was carried only on the stages of raw material acquisition through ethanol manufacture since it was assumed that ethanol from both processes had the same environmental impacts through its use and discard. The assessment results showed that the major environmental impact came from the sub-process of producing starch from corn and the most severe burden was generated in the form of acidification and greenhouse effect.

This study investigated the effects of a teaching process using dynamic assessment for a unit on young children's measurement ability. Subjects were 45 5-year-old children in a kindergarten in Busan. The instrument was the Dynamic Assessment Tools for Young Children's Measurement Ability (Hwang & Ko, 2(07). Assessment consisted of four steps: pre-test, learning, transfer, post-test. Results were that at post-test, there were significant differences in scores of measurement ability between the dynamic assessment and control groups. In the dynamic assessment group there was significant improvement in length, width and weight between pre- and post-tests and there were significant shifts of measurement strategies and measurement errors between the pre- and post-tests.

Ecological risk assessment (ERA) has been used to establish environmental quality standards or evaluate ecological risk in site-specific areas. The scope of ERA was expanded based on regions, and the concept of regional-scale ecological risk assessment was recently introduced in developed countries. In the present study, regional ERA approaches of relative risk model (RRM), contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (CATS) model, and procedure for ecological tired assessment of risks (PETAR) in advanced countries were extensively investigated. Regional ERA was compared with traditional ERA process. Stressors, receptor and response in traditional ERA were replaced with sources of stressors, habitats, and ecological impacts, respectively in regional ERA. This study introduces the concept and assessment process of regional ERA, and provides a wide perspective how the relative ERA could be applied in Korean ecosystem.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted much interest for their high energy density (>150 mAh/g), high capacity, low self-discharge rate, and high coulombic efficiency. However, with the successful commercialization of LIBs, fire and explosion incidents are likely to increase. The thermal runaway is known as the major factor in battery-related accidents that can lead to a series of critical conditions. Considering this, recent studies have shown an increased interest in countering the safety issues associated with LIBs. Although safety standards for LIB use have recently been formulated, little attention has been paid to the safety around the manufacturing process for battery products. The present study introduces a risk assessment method suitable for assessing the safety of the LIB-manufacturing process. In the assessment method, a compensation parameter (Z-factor) is employed to correctly evaluate the process's safety on the basis of the type of material (e.g., metal anode, liquid electrolyte, solid-state electrolytes) utilized in a cell. The proposed method has been applied to an 18650 cell-manufacturing process, and three sub-processes have been identified as possibly vulnerable parts (risk index: >4). This study offers some crucial insights into the establishment of safety standards for battery-manufacturing processes.
