Korea is a country that needs trade. Because it lacks natural resources but has excellent skills and manpower. Trade balance means 'profit from the process of buying and selling various goods and services in many abroad countries'. If the export amount of Korea is more than the import amount, it is called the trade surplus. The purpose of this study is to find trends and future directions of exports and imports over the last 210 months for the US, China, Japan, United Kingdom which have large trade with Korea, Since 2000, China's exports have grown more than 800%. However, in the case of the US and Japan, there is a steady increase rate of around 200% without any major change. In order for Korea to increase exports for the surplus of trade balance, it seems that the increase in exports to the US and Japan as well as the increase in exports to China are more important. Since the rate of growth has been declining slightly due to the decline in exports of auto makers to China since 2014, we need a strategy to prepare for this.

This study aimed at helping to raise the reputation of Tteokgalbi for tourists visiting Damyang by studying the plating of Tteokgalbi. For 15 representative restaurants selling Tteokgalbi, we investigated the balance, blank, and proportions through studying the shape, material, and size of the dishes, and the number, shape, and garnish of one serving size of Teokgalbi. The results of our study suggested that round dishes (7 restaurants) and elliptical dishes (6 restaurants) similar to the shape of Teokgalbi are mainly used. For 13 out of 15 restaurants, the dishes were mainly casting pans in order to serve Tteokgalbi warm. The diameters of round dishes were 230 mm (3 restaurants), 265 mm (2 restaurants), and 300 mm (2 restaurants), and the elliptical dishes mostly had widths of 150 mm and lengths of 240 mm. The color of the dishes was N2-N3, similar to black, and N1, black of pale colors, because the dishes were mainly casting pans. The number of Teokgalbi per serving size was 3 in 12 restaurants. whole sesame was used most (7 restaurants) as a garnish. The results suggested that the color of the dishes and garnish could not imbue much distinction in the color of Tteokgalbi. In other words, Tteokgalbi is now served without consideration of the color, shape, size, or material of Tteokgalbi. The size of Tteokgalbi should be decided with consideration for the size of the dish and the amount of one serving size, and it is necessary to keep studying the process of making and garnish of Tteokgalbi.

Data mining is the process of analyzing a huge database from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. One of the well-studied problems in data mining is association rule generation. Association rule mining finds the relationship among several items in massive volume database using the interestingness measures such as support, confidence, lift, etc. Typical applications for this technique include retail market basket analysis, item recommendation systems, cross-selling, customer relationship management, etc. But these interestingness measures cannot be used to establish a causality relationship between antecedent and consequent item sets. This paper propose causal association thresholds to compensate for this problem, and then check the three conditions of interestingness measures. The comparative studies with basic and causal association thresholds are shown by numerical example. The results show that causal association thresholds are better than basic association thresholds.

The aim of this paper is to identify the components of the sustainable regional ecosystem of social economy enterprises (hereafter 'regional ecosystem'), and to explore the principles of reciprocity, regard and public policy, which have a fundamental impact on the development of such regional ecosystem. The regional ecosystem is an interactive system of the stakeholders who are related to the process of planning, producing, distributing and selling goods and services, and the agents who maintain and spread their social value orientation. This system operates through the interaction of 'local network (business relations and social relations)', 'intermediary organization' and 'public role.' On the basis of the conceptual framework on the regional ecosystem, the result of the in-depth analysis on the case of Gorang-erang Coop shows the interaction of reciprocity and public policy with respect to regard within the context of a characteristic of the regional ecosystem.

This study aims at providing an economic assessment for incineration plants which recover heat during its incineration process. In this study, Life Cycle Cost(LCC) of incineration plants is performed based on each regression analysis formula for construction cost, operation cost, and heat generation in order to compare economic feasibility. The result shows that the incineration plant recovering waste heat while processing 80 tons of waste per day increases both initial investment and operation cost but this type of an incineration plant has economical predominance from the recovered waste heat over the one that does not recover heat when being operated for more than eleven years if the retrieved heat replaces the use of LNG. And its payback time reaches more than 19 years in case of selling heat and performing emission trading.

Delay in the process of Information Extraction, IE, is largely due to inability to correctly recognize the user's information requirement of particular search factors. Especially if the wrapper rules are used in a search engine, the search generally fails to classify internet documents properly and efficiently since the application of the same wrapper rules lacks extensibility throughout various types of existing internet document. In case of buying or selling a ship, if the price range, type. place of delivery, inspection site and other information relevant to the sales would be available through the internet for proper retrieval the sales could more readily succeed by using Ontology relating to sales or purchase information and by selectively searching for the desired information through the content based retrieval system. This system proposes to improve various wrapper systems existing throughout different internet sites and to eliminate unnecessary information tagged on the existing internet documents in order to create a more advanced information retrieval system.

The purpose of this study is to give ROI informations about management status and investment returns to someone who will newly cultivate lycium chinese miller or expand area of its cultivation. In this study, IRR, B/C Ratio and NPV is used for ROI analysis. We basically surveyed fifty two among Lycium Chinese Miller cultivation farmhouses in chief producing districts Chungnam Chungyang, Jeonnam Jindo in Korea from May until September in 2009. Hence, this study surveyed these farmers about production cost, management cost, input labors and materials, land price and etc. by working process to calculate production and operation cost. As the result of farm survey, average selling price of Lycium Chinese Miller is 15,000 won per kg at locals for five years. However, when 3% discount rate is applied, the result of the analysis is B/C Ratios 0.89, which shows unprofitable. Therefore, it is a possible baseline that price of Lycium Chinese Miller is at least 16,800 won per kg with 3.00% IRR and B/C Ratio is 1.00. It could be profitable with about 21.75% income ratio when price of Lycium Chinese Miller is 16,800 won per kg.
