With the development of photovoltaic industry, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has become the significant issue. And the metallization process has decided the cost of original materials and photovoltaic efficiency of the solar cells. Nowadays, double printing process has been introduced instead of one-step printing process for front contact of polycrystalline silicon solar cells, which can effectively improve the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells. Here, the relative cheap Cu paste has replaced the expensive Ag paste to form Ag/Cu composite front contact of silicon solar cells. The photovoltaic performance and the cost of photovoltaic power generation have been investigated. With the optimization on structure and height of Cu finger layer for Ag/Cu composite double-printed front contact, the silicon solar cells have exhibited a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 18.41%, which has reduced 3.42 cent per Watt for the cost of photovoltaic power generation.

대부분의 대형마트의 경우, 효율적인 물류관리 시스템으로 물류 비용을 절감하고 있으나 중소형마켓의 경우 물류관리 시스템을 보유하고 있지 못하기 때문에 물류의 효율적 관리뿐만 아니라 가격경쟁에는 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 GPS를 사용하여 물류차량의 정보를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 제한한다. 이 시스템은 물류차량의 위치를 실시간으로 수치지도에 매핑하고, 고객으로부터의 주문 정보를 수신하여 최적의 위치에 있는 차량에게 주문을 의뢰하여 물류비용의 최소화할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다.

Recently the multi-kind, small-amount manufacturing system has been replacing the mass manufacturing system, and domestic machining inustry also is eager to absorb the new technology because of its high productivity and cost reduction. The optimization of the cutting condition has been a vital problem in the machining industry, which would help increase the productivity and raise the international competitiveness. It is intended in this study to investigate the machining costs per unit time which is essential to the analysis of the optimal cutting condition, to computer the cutting speed that lead to the minimum machining costs and the maximum production to suggest the cutting speed range that enables efficient speed cutting, and to review the machining economy in relation to cutting depth and feed. Also considered are the optimal cutting speed and prodution rated in rrelation with feed. It is found that the minimum-cost cutting speed increases and the efficient cutting speed range is reduced as machining cost per unit time increases since the cutting speed for maximum production remains almost constant. The machining cost is also lowered and the production rate increases as the feed increases, and the feed should be selected to satisfy the required surface roughness. The machining cost and production rate are hardly affected by the cutting depth if the cutting speed stays below 100m/min, however, they are subject to change at larger cutting depth and the high-efficient speed range also is restricted. It can be established an adaptive optimal cutting conditions can be established in workshop by the auto-selection progam for optimal operation. It is expected that this method for choosing the optimal cutting conditions might contribute to the improvement of the productivity and reduced the cost. It is highly recommended to prepare the optimal cutting conditionthus obtained for future use in the programing of G-function of CNC machines. If proper programs that automatically select the optimal cutting conditions should be developed, it would be helpful to the works being done in the machine shops and would result in noticeable production raise and cost reduction.

Energy-efficient task scheduling on multi-core server is a fundamental issue in green cloud computing. Multi-core processors are widely used in mobile devices, personal computers, and servers. Existing energy efficient task scheduling methods chiefly focus on reducing the energy consumption of the processor itself, and assume that the cores of the processor are controlled independently. However, the cores of some processors in the market are divided into several voltage islands, in each of which the cores must operate on the same status, and the cost of the server includes not only energy cost of the processor but also the energy of other components of the server and the cost of user waiting time. In this paper, we propose a cost-aware scheduling algorithm ICAS for computation intensive tasks on multi-core server. Tasks are first allocated to cores, and optimal frequency of each core is computed, and the frequency of each voltage island is finally determined. The experiments' results show the cost of ICAS is much lower than the existing method.

Purpose: This study measures the effect of Information Technology (IT) on both cost and profit efficiency of State-owned Commercial Banks (SOCBs) in Bangladesh. Research design, data and methodology: Yearly Non-IT and IT data are collected from the annual report of SOCBs of Bangladesh from 2008 to 2017. Variable Return to Scale (VRS) cost Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Profit DEA are employed to measure the efficiency of SOCBs and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) is used to investigate the impacts of ICT components on operating cost and profit efficiency for SOCBs. Results: The average cost efficiency (74.4%) was noticed higher than the average profit efficiency (20.6%) for SOCBs. SOCBs were more affordable and less profitable for both cost and profit efficiency. Rupali bank was the most cost efficient while Sonali bank was the most profit efficient. IT Investment and IT personnel expenses were positively significant for cost efficiency. IT income, IT personnel, IT personnel expenses, ATM expenses, and Credit card expenses were negatively significant for profit efficiency. Conclusion: The further studies can combine DEA with machine learning algorithms to study the impact of IT on banks' performances. The results could aid government to remove the hindrance of progress in Bangladesh.

본 연구에서는 한계비용 이론에 바탕을 둔 램지가격결정방식과 효율적요소가격결정방식을 이용하여 천연가스 가격체계의 이론적 모형을 도출함으로써 사회후생의 최적화를 달성하기 위한 국내 가스가격결정방식의 개선방향을 제시하였다. 사례연구를 통하여 국내 가스산업의 현행 원가보상방식, 램지가격결정방식과 효율적요소가격결정방식에 의한 가격간에 배분효율성과 사회후생을 비교 분석하였다. 배분효율성은 도시가스용의 경우에 원가보상방식이 램지가격결정방식 및 효율적요소가격결정방식에 비하여 높게 나타났으나, 발전용의 경우는 원가보상방식이 두 방식에 비하여 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 사회후생효과는 현행의 원가보상에 의한 가격결정방식보다 램지가격결정방식과 효율적요소가격결정방식을 적용하는 것이 보다 더 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to analyze the cost effectiveness in line with total phosphorus standard enforcement of public sewage treatment facilities. The additional cost for the total phosphorus removal process was calculated to analyze the cost effectiveness of the advanced water purification process. The analysis results showed that the T-P removal by coagulation sedimentation was more efficient than the advanced water purification facilities in terms of facilities investment cost, and if the coagulation filteration was used for T-P removal, the activated carbon process among the advanced water purification techniques was more efficient in terms of facilities investment cost. In this study, the effects of the T-P removal process that will be additionally introduced according to the tightening of the effluent T-P standard were analyzed within a limit. The actual benefits of improved T-P concentration in the water source will provide diverse values, including the leisure water, environment improvement water, eco-system in the water source and industrial water, in addition to the advanced water purification.

The Korean government has invested a tremendous amount of money in the last 10 years to build large public research infrastructures (LPRI). For efficient operation and maintenance of LPRI built with expensive equipment and professional engineers, reasonable budget needs to be allocated. However, it is difficult to fulfill sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M) because there is no standard on budgeting for efficient LPRI operation, including expensive equipment and manpower allocation. There have been a lot of cost assessment studies regarding O&M of high-demand facilities such as hospitals, hotels and residential buildings, but a very few on sustainable O&M of LPRI. Therefore, mid/long-term budget establishment plans for efficient LPRI O&M are required from the initial planning stage and a cost assessment model to support the plans should be developed. The objective of this paper is to propose a cost assessment model for sustainable operation and maintenance of large public research infrastructures. To do so, actual O&M data of 6 LPRI types in operation are collected, and regression analysis model (RAM) is used for development and evaluation a cost assessment model. The study result will support sustainable operation of LPRI from a business perspective and be used as basic data for continuous development of cost assessment models to establish budgets for LPRI operation from an academic perspective.
