In this study, the author apply the VLF(Very Low Frequency) tan-delta data that has been measured at each office of the KEPCO 2012 to the Weibull distribution which is the statistical analysis as previous studies for the remaining life prediction through the improvement of the sensitivity and reliability of the degradation state assessment of underground distribution power cables. Also, in this paper, UCD(Used Cable Diagnosis) Matrix proposed by KEPCO was applied to the hierarchy of assessment prioritization. it suggests Aging Index for condition assessment and high reliability of proper economic replacement cycle using the weight according to the assessment prioritization.

The BIM(Building Information Modeling) introduction of the construction and maintenance at the design phase through the life cycle of the building until it is destroyed, I will bring big changes in the process. If you are building a small action by a variety of variables difficult to manage on-site construction, but, BIM remodeling of the building by applying a small improvement in the quality of imported building and construction delays, such as design changes or re-construction by removing the elements of economic 04 to make. Since the early stages of applying BIM to complement the introduction part, but the future seems to lead to changes in the built environment, academics and practitioners of the construction industry seem to have an active research.

By strengthening the insulation performance of a building, a great deal of energy can be saved and a comfortable indoor environment can be offered to people. On the other hand, the climate, which has a great influence on the indoor environment, is changed by global warming. Therefore, in planning building envelope structure and design, climate change should be considered. In this paper, the optimal insulation thickness of exterior walls was calculated by an economic assessment method using heating degree-days. Additionally, how much influence climate change has on planning building insulation was investigated. The examination showed that heating degree-days have decreased by about 10% due to climate change in the past few decades. It was also shown that the optimal insulation thickness of exterior walls was thin, at about 6%, in three representative Korean cities (Seoul, Daejeon, Jeju).

Studies on compensation structures of international technology licensing show that the level of intellectual property protection in the host market and the favorableness of the host country's economic environment are positively related to the use of running royalty-based compensation structure. Lump-sum fee or fixed royalty compensation is more likely to be used in the introduction and decline stages of the technology life cycle, and running royalty compensation in the growth stage. The international experience and the size of the licensor company are positively related to the use of running royalty. In this theoretical context, this paper analyzes the compensation structures of technology import in Korea. The paper uses the officially reported data to analyze the compensation structures. It analyzes the characteristics of the compensation structures in terms of fixed royalty and running royalty by licensor country, group of licensor countries and size of licensee companies.

Apple blotch is a major apple disease and recently it causes critical economic losses in apple orchards in Korea. In this review, we described the history of apple blotch researches, ecology and life cycle of Marssonina coronaria, cultural and molecular characteristics and simple isolation method as well. Furthermore, characteristic of apple blotch like symptoms, its cause still unknown, occurs frequently in cv. "Fuji" was described in detail.

In planning a building retrofit, energy conservation, thermal comfort and economic benefits should be considered. In this study, retrofit effects of exterior insulating method on preventing condensation, saving energy were analyzed through the heat transfer simulation, energy simulation in the apartment house retrofitted by exterior insulating method cheaper than other retrofit methods. The results of this study show that the retrofit using exterior insulating method can prevent the condensation at the corner walls and save about 20% of annual heating load. The LCC analysis revealed to be effective to select a dryvit system for a building retrofit.

The Quality Assurance System proposed in this study is based on the functional deployment of quality, which is an integration of the FAST(Functional Analysis System Techique) in VE(Value Engineering) and the Quality Development Method of TQC(Total Quality Control). The proposed Quality Function Deployment is proved to be an efficient tool for the consistent management of quality Assurance in every stages of product life cycle. The purpose of this study is therefore to develop practical and systematic methods for quality assurance activities, so as to satisfy the consumer's needs at the most economic level. To verify the feasibility of this approch, a case study is performed.

As for track maintenance, Seoul Metro executes track bed improvement project from obsolete ballast track bed to concrete track bed in order to achieve maintenance free and to extend its LCC(Life Cycle Costing). When it comes to obsolete ballast track bed withdrawal task, now it is done solely relying on man power and ballast inhalation vehicle. In this paper, I suggested ballast cleaning system with lighter equipment to change manpower withdrawal tasks to mechanized ones. It is expected to improve work efficiency and economic benefits by applying track excavator having variable wheels and container etc, which is able to keep on the site.

Urban railway system has make rapid progress ever since Seoul metro line No.1 was opened in 1974. Now, it is time to prepare system maintenance scheme and procedure that can be available even after 30 years from now. Especially, signaling system must be chosen with considering its life cycle since the system is categorized into electronic equipments. As for current signaling system, mechanical components such as relays has decreased while communication and S/W has integrated in order to implement its correct function. Therefore, it is required to establish system review and switch-over scheme with considering operational environment, maintenance system and an operator. In this paper, therefore, we analyzed various factors - technical, operational and economic - that have effect on system improvement so as to prevent making any mistakes on system improvement.

A new concept termed the Innovative Nuclear Power Plant Building Arrangement (INBA) strategy is a new nuclear power plant building arrangement method which encompasses upfront consideration of more efficient decommissioning. Although existing decommissioning strategies such as immediate dismantling and differed dismantling has the advantage of either early site restoration or radioactive decommissioning waste reduction, the INBA strategy has the advantages of both strategies. In this research paper, the concept and the implementation method of the INBA strategy will be described. Two primary benefits will be further described: (1) early site restoration; and (2) radioactive waste reduction. Several other potential benefits will also be identified. For the estimation of economic benefit, the INBA strategy, with two primary benefits, will be compared with the immediate dismantling strategy. The effect of a short life cycle nuclear power plant in combination with the INBA strategy will be reviewed. Finally, some of the major impediments to the realization of this strategy will be discussed.
