유연탄 및 원자력과 같은 기저 발전원은 대부분 수요지와 떨어진 곳에 위치해 있어 대규모 송전시설을 필요로 하는데, 이러한 송전시설은 다양한 사회적 비용을 야기하고 있다. 반면에 집단에너지사업 열병합발전과 같은 분산형 전원은 주로 수요지 인근에 설치되어 대규모 송전시설을 필요로 하지 않기에 송전시설로 인한 피해를 회피하는 편익을 창출한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 분산형 전원의 송전망 피해 회피편익을 추정하고자 한다. 이를 위해 무작위로 추출된 전국 1,000 가구를 대상으로 조건부 가치측정법을 적용한다. 보다 구체적으로는, 현재 발전량 비중이 가장 큰 유연탄 화력발전을 통해 생산된 전력을 분산형 전원인 집단에너지사업 열병합발전을 통해 생산된 전력으로 교체하여 사용하는 것에 대한 일반 국민의 지불의사액을 추정한다. 분석결과 유연탄 화력발전 대비 집단에너지사업 열병합발전의 송전망 피해 회피편익은 41.4(원/kWh)로 추정되었으며 유의수준 1%에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이 값은 2014년 기준 주택용 전력 평균가격의 33%에 해당하는 값으로 분산형 전원으로서의 집단에너지사업 열병합발전의 외부편익이 작지 않음을 시사한다.

본 논문은 다수의 에이전트가 있는 스웜 시스템에서 효과적인 그룹행동을 다루는 연구를 한 내용이다. 많은 에이전트들이 그룹 행동을 할 때 효율적인 연합 행동을 할 수 있도록 인공 포텐셜 함수(Artificial Potential Function, 이하 APF)를 사용하였다. 제안된 연구에서는 균일한 에이전트간의 포메이션 형성, 신속한 목표물 이동, 그리고 에이전트간의 충돌 회피를 만족시키는 동적 연합(Dynamic Association, 이하 DA)알고리즘을 소개 한다. 동적 연합을 바탕으로 조직화된 단일 연합법(Systematic Singular Association, 이하 SSA)을 제안하였다. 제안된 계획에서는 장애물과 목표물 사이에도 직선시야(Line Of Signt, 이하 LOS)를 고려했다. 제안된 SSA 규칙과의 비교를 위해, 에이전트 간의 LOS만 고려하는 근거리 에이전트 선택 단일연합(Singular Association, 이하 SA)과 다(多) 연결 에이전트 선택 SA 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 비교의 결과로 제안된 방법에서 두개의 중요한 장점을 확인했다. 첫째, SSA규칙은 동료 에이전트를 잃을 가능성이 상당히 낮고 빠른 에이전트들의 빠른 이동을 만족시킨다. 둘째, 장애물과 목표물 사이의 LOS고려로 인해서 SSA규칙의 간소화는 특히 그룹 이동시 유리하다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 자세히 보여주기 위하여 다른 알고리즘과의 비교 시뮬레이션을 제공한다.

The avoidance of the allergen of the house dust mite is one of the challenges to reduce and treat the symptoms of allergic diseases. Accordingly, various acaricidal agents are being used to kill the mite, but just killing it leaves the remains of it, which still act as the allergen. Therefore expelling the mite is thought as best policy to avoid the mite allergen. For this, some materials have been applied to repellent agents against the mite. Among them, a material with natural origin, known as the phytoncide, is being used for its repellent activity, as well as for its benefits for health. In this experiment, essential oils extracted from Korean white pine (Pinus koreaiensis S. et Z.) and hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), which are widely used as the source of phytoncide products, are studied for demonstration of the repellent effect against the house dust mites, Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus. Direct contact method was used to evaluate the repellent effect (%). And the results suggest the oils have a significant effect enough to be used as a source of repellent agent. For the repellent effect, the most effective concentration was $0.5{\mu}l/cm^2$ at 45 minutes both in the white pine and the hinoki oil.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the effects of a smoking prevention program among preschool children. Method: This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 141 preschool children aged 6 or 7 at two childcare centers in Jecheon City, who were divided into an experimental group (n=66) and a control group (n=75). The smoking prevention program was applied through 9 sessions and 30 minutes per session. Surveys were conducted before and after the smoking prevention program to examine the preschoolers' knowledge and attitude toward smoking and smoking coping behavior. Results: There were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in smoking knowledge (t=-2.02, p=.044) and smoking coping behavior (t=-2.01 p=.047), but smoking attitude (t=-1.20, p=.230) was not statistically significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: As a result, further research is needed into the long term effects of a smoking prevention program on the future behavior of preschoolers so that the health benefits of early prevention can be quantified. It is necessary for parents to participate actively in influencing preschoolers' attitudes and behaviors with regard to the avoidance of smoking.

Postharvest diseases cause considerable losses to harvested fruits and vegetables worldwide. Fresh produce suspected of harboring postharvest disease must be treated to control any pathogens present. Although there are various treatments to control postharvest losses by pathogens, the current community is eager to take safer and more eco-friendly alternatives to help with human health and reduce environmental risks. Ionizing irradiation is a promising phytosanitary treatment that has a significant potential to control postharvest diseases in use worldwide. Although almost 19000 metric tons of sweet potatoes and various fruits are irradiated each year in six countries to control postharvest disease, irradiation continues to be a debate, with slow acceptance by industries. Irradiation alone is not effective as a fungicide, and an over dose affects the physical properties of irradiated products. A combination of irradiation with other treatments such as heating, biocontrol agents, chlorination, and nano Ag particles is to enhance their effectiveness. Challenges to the use of phytosanitary irradiation are an avoidance of irradiated postharvest and cost of the irradiation facilities, and thus consumers still need to be educated on the principles and benefits of irradiation and prepare an optimum economy of scale for commercial use. In this review, we evaluated the current phytosanitary irradiation, and combination with various other treatments to minimize the postharvest losses.

A parallel mechanism with redundancy can be regarded as a means for not only maximizing the benefits of parallel mechanisms but also overcoming their drawbacks. We proposed a novel parallel mechanism by eliminating an unnecessary degree of freedom of the configuration space. Because of redundancy, however, the solution for the inverse kinematics of the developed parallel mechanism is infinite. Therefore, we defined a cost function that can minimize the movement time to the target orientation and found the solution for the inverse kinematics by using a numerical method. In addition, we proposed a method for determining the boundary of the geometric singularity in order to avoid singularities.

Nuclear power plant site selection is a complex process and its successful completion is a critical milestone in the NPP development cycle. Proper siting of NPP will ensure public health and safety, environmental conservation, reduced project failure risks and a smooth NPP development process among other benefits. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of systems engineering to the problem of NPP siting in Kenya. The siting process demonstrated in this paper includes stakeholder need analysis where stakeholders are identified and their needs concerning NPP site are elicited and converted into system functional requirements. A value model is then developed and potential sites iteratively subjected to three types of criteria i.e. exclusionary criteria, avoidance criteria and suitability criteria. This process is used to identify the candidate sites. An additive value model; multiple objectives Decision Analysis (MODA) is then used to calculate candidate solutions values. The site with the highest solution value score is selected. Sensitivity studies using different criterion weight sets (thereby reflecting different viewpoints) can be conducted to assess their effect on the selection of a preferred site and thereby lend additional credibility to the decision process.

This study intends to review the development of Large Purse Seine Fisheries in Korea and Japan, and subsequent changes in the fisheries regime as well as management conditions and to examine reorganization directions. In the Northeast Asian Fishing Area, each country has done mutual operation, which causes the fishery competition and controls fishery development. Besides, Exclusive Economic Zon(EEZ) established in 1996 resulted in the prominent changes of fishery development as well as fishery relationship among each country, demands reorganization of fisheries. In the Large Purse Seine fisheries, Korea and Japan are not decreasing, they are stable. In other words, the increase in one country does not necessarily make the decrease in the other country. This is a difference from the case of the bottom fishery. Japan is the highest in the cost, the management is getting worse due to decreasing fish price and shortage of labor. In the case of Korea, the stagnant productivity has been compensated by the rising fish price, but the fishery of low productivity to cut down the size. In addition, during the 1990s the environment of fishery is getting worse because of the free import fishery, shortage of labor, etc. Following the new fisheries paradigm, each country should reorganize its fisheries structure. The principle for reorganization of fisheries structure in each country should be focused on the establishment of sustainable fisheries. The reorganization of fisheries structure for each country by EEZ establishment does not mean only dividing fishing ground and fisheries resources by countries, but means that countries should cooperate together in fisheries management for long-run benefits from fisheries.

The IEEE 802.11 wireless standard uses the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) as its MAC protocol (during the distributed coordination function period). This protocol is an adaptation of the CSMA/CD of the wired networks. CSMA/CA mechanism cannot guarantee quality of service (QoS) required by the application because orits random access method. In this study, we propose a new MAC protocol that considers different types of traffic (e.g., voice and data) and for each traffic type different priority levels are assigned. To improve the QoS of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocols over a multi-channel CSMA/CA, we have developed a new admission policy for both voice and data traffics. This protocol can be performed in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). For voice traffic we reserve a channel, while for data traffic the access is random using a CSMA/CA mechanism, and in this case a selective reject and push-out mechanism is added to meet the quality of service required by data traffic. To study the performance of the proposed protocol and to show the benefits of our design, a mathematical model is built based on Markov chains. The system could be represented by a Markov chain which is difficult to solve as the state-space is too large. This is due to the resource management and user mobility. Thus, we propose to build an aggregated Markov chain with a smaller state-space that allows performance measures to be computed easily. We have used stochastic comparisons of Markov chains to prove that the proposed access protocol (with selective reject and push-out mechanisms) gives less loss rates of high priority connections (data and voices) than the traditional one (without admission policy and selective reject and push-out mechanisms). We give numerical results to confirm mathematical proofs.
