Dessert Ateliers (DA) are small shops that sell high-end homemade desserts such as macaroons, cakes, and cookies, and their popularity is increasing according to the emergence of small luxury trends. Even though each DA sells the same kinds of desserts, they are differentiated by the personality of their pastry chef; thus, there is a need to purchase desserts online that customers cannot see and purchase offline, and thus dessert e-commerce has emerged. However, it is impossible for customers to identify all the information of each DA and clearly understand customers' preferences when buying desserts through the dessert e-commerce. When a dessert e-commerce service provides a DA recommendation service, customers can reduce the time they hesitate before making a decision. Therefore, this paper proposes two kinds of DA recommendation method: a clustering-based recommendation method that calculates the similarity between customers' content and DAs and a dynamic weighting-based recommendation method that trains the importance of decision factors considering customer preferences. Various experiments were conducted using a real-world dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods and it showed satisfactory results.

Recently, Application of composite materials are increased in transport area for weight reduction. Also, Related technical developments have been implemented actively at domestic and abroad. In particular, The carbon fiber has high strength and ultra light property higher than stainless steel, aluminum, GFRP as Eco-friendly material. Carbon fiber contribute to improving the environmental effect such as fuel saving, expansion of loadage, reducing the exhaustion of carbon dioxide through the weight reduction of transport area. In addition, The carbon fiber is applied to the ship in the area of race yacht, luxury cruise boat as weight reduction and high added-value materials, but there is limited application for general boat because price of carbon fiber is very expensive. For the weight reduction of general boat hull, being used as structure materials, glass fiber and carbon fiber are applied to hull with form of hybrid composite materials, but application of domestic and research for development are incomlete. In this study, An evaluations of mechanical strength property and fatigue strength are performed on composite materials by hybrid weaving of glass fiber and carbon fiber and composite materials forming method by hybrid forming.

The global fashion industry produces significant carbon emission and micro-plastics in oceans. Studies on sustainable design methods as such environmental issues in fashion are becoming intensely problematic. This study conducted a case study on 100 upcycle fashion brands to propose strategical upcycle fashion designs to compete in a sustainable fashion market. A literature review indicated that 3 types of textile wastes are generated as upcycling materials: post-producer, pre-consumer and post-consumer. Wastes are categorized together with 3 types of techniques: redesigning, reconstruction and handcrafting. This research derived 7 types of upcycle fashion designs that have the following features: to make luxury upcycle fashion products, to make sustainable grunge looks, to re-evaluate deadstocks, to recover vintage clothes, to convert waste into craft-arts, to offer solutions for damaged products, and to make zero-waste small fabric waste. The study results show that key drivers in the upcycle fashion design are the redesignability of materials and technique-related costs. This study implies that adopting appropriate design features can be a useful strategy for designers. New technologies will solve current problems and encourage them to design products in a new circular value system.
