본 연구는 수입산 한약재 수입으로 경영상황이 극한으로 몰린 약용작물 재배농가의 경영개선 방안을 마련하기 위해 구릿대와 시호재배 농가를 중심으로 경영성과 및 경영 효율성에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 구릿대 재배농가와 시호 재배농가로부터 수집된 자료에 대한 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구릿대 재배농가의 10a당 총수입은 평균 1,363천원으로 나타났으며, 소득은 500천원으로 소득율은 36.7%로 분석되었다. 둘째, 시호 재배농가의 10a당 총수입은 평균 1,705천원으로 나타났으며, 소득은 873천원으로 소득율은 44.6%였다. 셋째, 구릿대 재배농가의 기술효율성은 0.790, 순수기술효율성은 0.856, 규모효율성은 0.924로 분석되었다. 넷째, 시호 재배농가의 기술효율성은 0.670, 순수기술효율성은 0.794, 규모효율성은 0.844로 분석되었다. 구릿대와 시호 재배농가모두 기술효율성에 있어서 상대적인 차이가 존재하였으며, 이러한 차이는 규모적 측면보다 순수 기술적 측면이 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 경영규모 확대를 통한 효율성 제고보다는 농가들의 기술수준에 적합한 영농교육을 실시하는 것이 효율성을 높이는데 보다 효과적일 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 비모수추정 방법인 자료포락 기법을 이용하여 청양, 공주, 부여 등 충남지역의 밤나무 재배임가를 대상으로 경영효율성을 평가하였다. 분석자료는 2012년 3월부터 10월까지 실시한 '|밤나무 경영에 관한 실태조사'결과 중에서 20개 임가의 투입요소(관리비, 수확비, 재료비, 간접비, 재배면적)와 산출요소(조수입액)를 대상으로 하였다. 그리고 DEA 기법중 CCR 모형과 BCC 모형을 이용하여 기술효율성, 순수기술효율성, 규모효율성을 분석하였고 비효율성 임가의 개선방안도 제시하였다. 추가적으로 DEA 분석결과의 검증을 위하여 기술효율성과 표준진단표 결과를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 기술효율성은 평균값이 0.667로 전체적으로 비효율적으로 분석되었고 그 원인은 순수기술효율성이 평균 0.944, 규모효율성이 평균 0.703으로 나타나 재배기술적인 측면에서는 순수기술효율성이 높았지만 규모의 효율성에서는 비효율성이 존재하였다. 효율성이 1인 임가는 기술효율성 6개, 순수기술효율성 13개, 규모효율성이 6개 임가로 나타났고, 3개 모두 1인 임가는 6개로 나타났다. 표준진단표 점수와 비교한 결과 80점이상 고득점을 기록한 임가는 5개로 나타났고 이 중 기술효율성이 1로 분석된 임가는 3개로 나타났다. 또한 기술효율성과 표준진단표의 최저점수와 최고점수를 기록한 임가도 동일하게 나타났다. 이것은 DEA를 이용한 경영 효율성 평가가 표준진단표와 함께 현장에 적용 가능하다는 것을 나타낸다.

Purpose: The use of renewable energy system is essential for building energy independence and saving energy consumption in the building sector. Among renewable energy technologies, ground source heat pump(GSHP) system is more energy-efficient and environmental-friendly than other heat source systems due to utilize stable ground heat source. However, the GSHP system requires a high initial installation cost and installation space in limited urban area, so it is difficult to have superiority in the market of heat source system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the installation method of low-cost and improve system performance. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of double u-tube ground heat exchanger(GHX) and verify system feasibility through real-scale experiment. Method: In this study, the real-scale experiment of vertical closed-type GSHP system was conducted using double u-tube GHX and high-efficiency grout. Through the verification experiment, heat source temperature, heat exchange rate(HER) and seasonal performance factor(SPF) were measured according to the long-term operation. In addition, the feasibility analysis was conducted comparing to the single u-tube system. Result: In the results of experiment, average HER was 136.27 W/m and average SPF was 5.41. Furthermore, compared to the single u-tube, the installation cost of the developed system could be reduced about 70% in the same heating load condition.

In this paper, we propose a volume rendering method using grid computing for large-scale volume data. Grid computing is attractive because medical institutions and research facilities often have a large number of idle computers. A large-scale volume data is divided into sub-volumes and the sub-volumes are rendered using grid computing. When using grid computing, different computers rarely have the same processor speeds. Thus the return order of results rarely matches the sending order. However order is vital when combining results to create a final image. Job-Scheduling is important in grid computing for volume rendering, so we use an obstacle-flag which changes priorities dynamically to manage sub-volume results. Obstacle-Flags manage visibility of each sub-volume when line of sight from the view point is obscured by other subvolumes. The proposed Dynamic Job-Scheduling based on visibility substantially increases efficiency. Our Dynamic Job-Scheduling method was implemented on our university's campus grid and we conducted comparative experiments, which showed that the proposed method provides significant improvements in efficiency for large-scale volume rendering.

Recently, a number of large-scale photovoltaic(PV) power generation system has been installed all over the world. Thus, in order to improve the system efficiency, the optimal design of the large-scale PV systems has become an important issue. DC cable loss of PV array is one of the design factors related to the system efficiency. This paper introduces the array design method of a 500kW Photovoltaic power plant. Three types of the PV array are suggested. Also, string cables, sub-array cables and array cables are designed within 1% of voltage drop in the line, and the DC cable losses are analyzed. The results of this paper show that the DC cable loss of large-scale PV array can be reduced by adopting a proper sub-array design method.

Drying process is involved in the production of various products including food, textiles, paper, pharmaceuticals, and batteries. Phase change of liquid to vapor generally requires enormous thermal energy, so in order to save energy, it is advantageous to develop an appropriate drier and use it under appropriate operating conditions, depending on the characteristics of materials. However, due to the complex, multiscale heat and mass transfer occurring during drying processes, predictions of appropriate drying conditions before actual operation are not easily achieved, leading to challenges in designing driers. Here, we developed a lab-scale experimental setup to evaluate the performance of band dries. The experimental setup was used to measure the moisture content and temperature change in the materials being dried in a belt dryer. Experimental results obtained using our lab-scale setup allow us to predict the performance of a full-scale band drier, thus suggesting a practical framework for predicting the drying process of various materials and developing band driers.

In this study, the major operating factors in SND(simultaneous nitrification and denitrification) using bioreactor packed with submerged cilia media and granular sulfur such as variation of nitrification rate, organic matter removal efficiency and denitrification efficiency in different DO concentration were mainly evaluated. Synthetic wastewater and actual sewage were used as influent wastewater. Experiment with synthetic wastewater as influent wastewater was divided into three phases with the adjustment of DO concentration. As the results, nitrification efficiency and T-N removal efficiency in the Phase 3(DO 1.0~2.0 mg/L) were 99% and 52.3%, which is significantly greater than those in other two phases. Also, loading rate and denitrification efficiency of SCPGS(Submerged Cilia media Packed with Granular Sulfur) were calculated as $0.44kg\;NO_3^--N/m^3-day$ and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, nitrification rate was decreased from 99% to 64% according to the DO concentration with the variation from 3.0~3.5 mg/L(phase1) to 0.4~0.6mg/L(phase2). Although the nitrification rate was decreased in 64% according to the variation of the DO concentration, T-N removal rate was rapidly increased to 49% by increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Experiment with actual sewage as influent wastewater was carried out to evaluate efficiency of SCPGS in real operation condition of full-scale sewage water treatment plant. At the time, T-N removal rate in this experiment and full-scale wastewater treatment plants were given by 43% and 20%, respectively. The above results indicate that SCPGS can be used as an advanced treatment process for economical efficiency considered.

In this study, a parallel algorithm has been developed that can quickly solve the optiaml control problem of large-scale dynamic systems. The algorithm adopts the sequential quadratic programming methods and achieves domain decomposition-type parallelism in computing sensitivities for search direction computation. A silicon wafer thermal process problem has been solved using the algorithm, and a parallel efficiency of 45% has been achieved with 16 processors. Practical methods have also been investigated in this study as a way to further speed up the computation time.

To test the equality of survival distributions in the presence of arbitrary right censorship, the choice of weights which are functions of the number of individuals at risk at the time of each death is very important in increasing the power of the test. In this paper a weight by probit scale is derived and the efficiencies relative to the other weight's are also investigated.
