The EIA system was developed during ten odd years of introduction. On the other hand, the contentional development representing systematical fidelity does not match to it. I surveyed the problems of EIA on the point of environmental items with no legal standards. EIA is being executed only once on the planning stage. If the present EIA system has two times of execution, the quality of EIA will be much better. First, on the stage of deciding location of the project, EIA should be done. And next, detailed EIA should be done on the stage of executing the project. To describe the problems of EIA, I surveyed the legislations on the point of the former stages, investigation of present status and anticipation. And I tried a theoretical approach to EIA. The knowledge of things, the subject's standpoint and his valuation are all put together in the EIA. The knowledge of relationship between air and water pollutants and their impact on human is accumulated much. On the other hand, the knowledge of the compounded item, fauna-flora(natural ecology) is partial and causes many difficulties. I pointed out the absurdities of assessment technique dealing the standards and introduced assessment technique being applied to items with no physico-chemical standards such as wild lives.

This study attempts to estimate the benefits of environmentally-enhancing water ensuing from Sangkwan multi-purpose reservoir. To this end, we apply a survey technique, the contingent valuation (CV) method to elicit the public willingness to pay (WTP). Two CV surveys of randomly selected households were administrated to on-site and off-site areas. As it happens, a number of respondents reported zero WTPs for the environmentally- enhancing water. To deal with the zero WTPs, this study employs a spike model. The results show that average household's WTP for the environmentally-enhancing water ensuing from Sangkwan multi-purpose reservoir is estimated to be 1,393.7 won for on-site area and 2,237.7 won for off-site area per year. The benefits of environmentally-enhancing water ensuing from Sangkwan multi-purpose reservoir amount to about 38.3 billion won per year. Our findings are expected to contribute to determining an appropriate level of investment and making management policies with regard to the benefits of environmentally-enhancing water.

The train transportation has a lot of advantages-energy efficiency is high, it is eco-friendly, safety is better than normal roads and it is possible for people to arrive on time. In these days, the valuation of ride comfort, which is only limited to road transportation, is newly recognized in order to having competitiveness from other transportation. Especially, in the development of the Korean high-speed railroad business, the ride comfort enhancement of train is very important problem to be solved. Currently, there are international standards of ride comfort such as UIC13, ISO2631. In Korea case, although it has own standard like KS R9216, it mainly depends on the physical parameter such as vibration and noise. So recently, in the valuation of ride comfort, the movements of living parameter technique introduction are increasing on the base of Japan and many developed countries of Europe techniques. Presently, the method of train ride comfort is mainly based of vibration, that is, mechanical parameter adding selection of variable acceleration and noise. This paper would like to show biological parameter; heart rate and blood pressure variation. This method is more direct, based on human body response, than mechanical parameter method. In this experiment, the variability of heart rate and blood pressure of passengers according to tilting angle change of Train, the Korean tilting train, we are supposed to know that the extent of tilting on the simulation has influence on variability of heart rate and blood pressure, which are living parameter of heart's blood.

Although coal-fired power generation has played a role as base load unit, it has incurred various social costs in the process of generating and providing electricity. It is necessary to extend the proportion of low-carbon power generations, and reduce the ratio of coal-fired power generation to cope with global climate changes. This study, therefore, attempts to estimate the public's willingness-to-pay (WTP) for substitution of supplied electricity from hydro-electricity generation, a representative renewable energy, for coal-fired power generation. To this end, we apply the contingent valuation (CV) method, widely used technique when valuing non-market goods, to elicit the public's WTP. In addition, a spike model is employed to consider zero WTPs. After the empirical analysis with 1,000 households CV survey data, the results show that mean household's WTP for replacing supplied electricity from hydro-electricity generation with coal-fired power generation is estimated to be about 54 KRW per kWh. The results of this study are expected to contribute to determining energy-mix and provide benefit information of hydro-electricity generation.

The similarity of the software is extracted by the verification of comparing with the source code. The source code is the intellectual copyright of the developer written in the programming language. And the source code written in text format contains the contents of the developer's expertise and ideas. The verification for judging the illegal use of software copyright is performed by comparing the structure and contents of files with the source code of the original and the illegal copy. However, there is hard to do the one-to-one comparison in practice. Cause the suspected source code do not submitted Intentionally or unconsciously. It is now increasing practically. In this case, the comparative evaluation with execution code should be performed, and indirect methods such as reverse assembling method, reverse engineering technique, and sequence analysis of function execution are applied. In this paper, we analyzed the effectiveness of indirect comparison results by practical evaluation . It also proposes a method to utilize to the system and executable code files as a verification results.

The similarity detection to plagiarism or duplication of computer programs requires a different type of analysis methods and tools according to the programming language used in the implementation and the sort of code to be analyzed. In recent years, the similarity appraisal for the object code in the embedded system, which requires a considerable resource along with a more complicated procedure and advanced skill compared to the source code, is increasing. In this study, we described a method for analyzing the similarity of functional units in the assembly language through the conversion of object code using the reverse engineering approach, such as the reverse assembly technique to the object code. The instruction and operand table for comparing the similarity is generated by using the syntax analysis of the code in assembly language, and a tool for detecting the similarity is designed.

It can be seen that the infringement of copyright cases is increasing as the society becomes more complex and advanced. During the software copyright dispute, there may be a dispute over whether the software is duplicated and made into upgraded software. In this paper, we intend to propose an analysis method for determining whether to upgrade software. For the software upgrade analysis, a software similarity analysis technique was used. The analysis program covers servers, management programs, and Raspberry PC programs. The first analysis confirms the correspondence between program creation information and content. In addition, it analyzes the similarity of functions and screen composition between the submitted program and the program installed in the field. The second comparative analysis compares and analyzes similarities by operating two programs in the same environment. As a result of comparative analysis, it was confirmed that the operation and configuration screens of the two programs were identical. Thus, minor differences were found in a few files, but it was confirmed that the two programs were mostly made using the same or almost similar source code. Therefore, this program can be judged as an upgrade program.

In this paper, we propose a method for protecting Android applications against reverse engineering attacks. In this method, the server encrypts the original executable code (DEX) included in an APK file, inserts into the APK file a stub code that decrypts the encrypted DEX later at run-time, and distributes the modified APK file. The stub code includes an integrity validation code to detect attacks on itself. When a user installs and executes the APK file, the stub code verifies the integrity of itself, decrypts the encrypted DEX, and loads it dynamically to execute. Since the original DEX is distributed as an encrypted one, we can effectively protect the intellectual property. Further, by verifying the integrity of the stub code, we can prevent malicious users from bypassing our method. We applied the method to 15 Android apps, and evaluated its effectiveness. We confirmed that 13 out of them operates normally.

More than 25% of software copyright evaluations commissioned to the Korea Copyright Commission are software completeness-defective evaluations. Most of the existing software completeness-defective evaluation cases were made to ensure that the requirements contained in the contract or customer's desired requirements were implemented and able to run, limited to the functionality of the software. This paper proposes a more systematic and reasonable maturity-correction technique to meet software completeness definitions. The ISO / IEC 9241.10 standard is a design standard for improving software quality. The ISO / IEC 9241.10 standard specifies seven items that must be complied with and requires functional integrity for work and operational integrity for work efficiency. The software completeness-defective methodology presented in this paper complements the existing function's implementation-functioning methodology with completeness evaluation on the quality of software.

The purpose of this paper is to propose several approximating methods to obtain the American option prices under jump-diffusion processes. The first method is to extend an approximating method to the optimal exercise boundary by a multipiece exponential function suggested by Ju [17]. The second approach is to modify the analytical methods of MacMillan [20] and Zhang [25] in a discrete time space. The third approach is to apply the simulation technique of Ibanez and Zapareto [14] to the problem of American option pricing when the jumps are allowed. Finally, we compare the numerical performance of each suggesting method with those of the previous numerical approaches.
