In the energy-guzzling industries such as steel making and cement, power plants utilizing waste heat have been attracting attention to increase energy efficiency. However, the existing economic analysis system doesn't consider the special working fluids and the cost models of the main equipment used in the waste heat recovery power plant. So it is difficult to estimate the plant economics accurately. Therefore, It is required to develop a economic analysis module that can more accurately evaluate for the power plant. In this study, the systems engineering approach was used to design and develop the module that systematically reflects the characteristics of the power plant and various requirements. Specifically, first, the special working fluids and main equipment applied to the power plant were investigated. Next, the cost models for each equipment were developed. Finally, the economic analysis module based on this was developed.

Recently, the fierce competitions in the shipping industry and the global economic downturn have heavily influenced ports' operational strategies. In order for port authorities to remain competitive at an international level and to provide more accurate information to develop National policies, ports are required to analyse and improve operations' efficiency. In this paper, the efficiency of 19 Italian ports in 2013, handling different types of cargoes, is assessed through the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), with constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of Italian ports and evaluate whether differences in size and specialization of each port (or cargo handled) are directly correlated with ports' efficiency.

ROK Navy intends to secure the Korean-type aircraft carrier in order to effectively prepare for various future security threats. In general, the Korean national competency is considered to be at the level of having an aircraft carrier, but it is unclear what scale aircraft carrier would be appropriate. In this study, the efficiency was evaluated through the relative comparison between national competency(national power, economic power) and the scale of aircraft carriers, and the optimal scale of the Korean-type aircraft carrier that could be acquired was presented. A DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) model was applied to aircraft carriers(19 aircraft carriers in 11 countries) currently in operation and scheduled to be possessed in the world. As input variables, CINC(Composite Index of National Capability) and GDP(Gross Domestic Product), which are the most widely used as indicators of national and economic power, and as output variables, the full-load displacement, length, and width of aircraft carriers were selected. ARIMA(short-term within 5 years) and simple regression(long-term over 5 years) were used to estimate the future national competency of each country at the time of aircraft carriers acquisition. The relative efficiency score of the Korean-type aircraft carrier currently being evaluated is 1.062, and it was evaluated as small-scale aircraft carrier compared to the national competency. Based on Korean national competency, the optimal scale of the Korean-type aircraft carrier calculated by aggregating benchmark groups, is 58,308.1 tons of full-load displacement, 279.4m in length, and 68.3m in width.

This article aims at revealing the dynamic relationships between the energy R&D investment and economic growth in Korea. To achieve this goal, we reviewed the effects of energy R&D investments and tried to make the holistic interconnections for describing the feedback loops between energy R&D and economic system. Energy R&D investments develop the renewable energy, energy efficiency and $CO_2$ emission reductions technologies for accomplishing the national strategic targets. The rapid obsolescence of technologies makes the inefficiency and negative effects in governmental energy R&D investments.

The integration of nanoparticles into various industries has spurred interest in understanding their impact on logistics and transportation systems. In this study, we investigate the effect of nanoparticles on the economic aspects of railway logistics transport using a mathematical model. By incorporating factors such as transportation costs, time efficiency, and environmental considerations, we aim to assess the overall economic feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into railway logistics operations. Through mathematical modeling and analysis, we explore how the introduction of nanoparticles affects cost-benefit analyses, resource allocation, and decision-making processes within railway logistics. Our findings provide valuable insights into the economic implications of nanoparticle integration in railway transport, offering potential strategies for optimizing logistics operations and enhancing overall efficiency and sustainability.

Feed cost is the main factor affecting the economic benefits of pig industry. Improving the feed efficiency (FE) can reduce the feed cost and improve the economic benefits of pig breeding enterprises. Liver is a complex metabolic organ which affects the distribution of nutrients and regulates the efficiency of energy conversion from nutrients to muscle or fat, thereby affecting feed efficiency. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can regulate feed efficiency through the modulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In this study, we analyzed miRNA profiling of liver tissues in High-FE and Low-FE pigs for the purpose of identifying key miRNAs related to feed efficiency. A total 212~221 annotated porcine miRNAs and 136~281 novel miRNAs were identified in the pig liver. Among them, 188 annotated miRNAs were co-expressed in High-FE and Low-FE pigs. The 14 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed (DE) in the livers of high-FE pigs and low-FE pigs, of which 5 were downregulated and 9 were upregulated. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of liver DE miRNAs in high-FE pigs and low-FE pigs indicated that the target genes of DE miRNAs were significantly enriched in insulin signaling pathway, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway, and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. To verify the reliability of sequencing results, 5 DE miRNAs were randomly selected for quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR results of miRNAs were confirmed to be consistent with sequencing data. DE miRNA data indicated that liver-specific miRNAs synergistically acted with mRNAs to improve feed efficiency. The liver miRNAs expression analysis revealed the metabolic pathways by which the liver miRNAs regulate pig feed efficiency.

본 연구의 목적은 기업에서 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스를 채택하기 전에 판단 해야하는 중요한 요인들에 대한 우선 순위를 도출하고 평가한다. 연구 방법으로 전문가들에 대한 의사결정 사항을 반영하기 위해서 AHP 분석기법을 활용하였다. AHP는 복잡한 의사결정 문제를 계층적으로 표현하고 그 계층의 항목 간의 쌍대비교(Pairwise comparison)를 통하여 최선의 대안을 도출해 내는 의사결정 기법이다. 기존의 통계적 의사결정 기법들과 비교해 의사결정과정이 체계적이며 간단하여 이해하기가 쉽다. 또한 분석과정에서 의사결정자의 일관성을 판단할 수 있는 지표를 제공하여 절차 또한 합리적이다. 본 연구의 분석 결과 중요도 우선순위 항목으로 보안성, 신뢰성, 경제성 순으로 나타났다. 보안성의 하위 항목요인 중 제1순위는 접근권한의 통제성, 2순위는 외부위협의 안전성으로 도출되었다. 연구 결과가 추후 실무에서 기준으로 활용될 수 있는 방안으로 활용되는데 이바지할 수 있으며, 향후 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스 채택을 한 기업의 만족도를 평가하여 비교·분석하는 연구를 진행할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 경제분석기법에서 편익항목의 통행시간절감편익의 개선안을 살펴보았다. 기존의 경제성분석 시 통행시간절감편익의 계산방법은 피크시간대의 O/D를 이용하여365를 곱하여 산정하고 있다. 이 계산방법의 문제점은 요일에 대한 교통량변화, 달에 대한 교통량변화를 고려하지 못하는 것이다. 이러한 분석점을 개선하기 위하여, 군집분석과 t-검증을 통하여 달별, 요일별 비슷한 교통량 패턴이 가지는 것끼리 묶었다. 이러한 결과값은 요일별과 월별로 교통량의 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 요일별, 월별 가중치를 적용하여 pilot 예제를 통해 통행시간절감분을 계산하였더니 기존의 방법에 비해 다소 적게 도출되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 교통량의 변화패턴을 고려한 가중치 연구에 의의를 둘 수 있다.
