The purpose of this study is to explore the multi-dimensionality and the differences of the career success that is revealed by the employee's perception. In order to fulfill the research purpose, LDA topic modeling has applied to extract latent topics of career success from 126 Korean employees' open-end survey questionnaires. The extracted latent topics are social recognition, continuing service within an organization, expertise, financial rewards, and pursuing personal meaning. The occurrence probability of each topic was different by individual characteristics such as gender, education, position. Study findings showed there is multi-dimensionality in career success, and there are differences of topic occurrence probability by demographic characteristics. Additionally, this study showed how to apply the recently developed machine learning approach in order to reduce the researcher's bias by adapting the LDA topic modeling to the qualitative open-ended survey data.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to guide the operation managers who plan daily production of large mass-processing facility that services multi-customers with multi-product, small-batch item characteristics by providing the practical best production quantity and the inventory allowed to build. Methods: Close observation of a subcontract paint-shop operator captured the daily decision process which was reflected in the subcontractor-unique mathematical model and the system dynamics simulation model. Multiple simulations were run to find the practical best production quantity and the maximum allowable stock level of inventory that did not undermine the profit from practical best daily production. Actual data and a few constant values were obtained from the firm under study. Results: While the inventory holding cost for the customer-owned material harms the total profit of the subcontractor, the running cost of the processing facility hinders production in small batches. This balances the maximum possible productions and results in practical best daily production which can be found through simulation runs with actual data. The maximum level of stocked inventory is deduced from the practical best daily production. Conclusion: To build a large volume that enables economy-of-scale production, operators should deal with multi-product small-batch items from multiple customers. When the planned schedule of the time and amount of material in-flow tend not to be reliable, operators can find it practical to execute level production across the planning horizon instead of adjusting to day-to-day in-flow fluctuations.

Generally, reservoir storage is allocated according to planned purposes established before construction and operating policies are established through release control. The established reservoir allocation is hardly changed unless the special cases such as raising dam or changed purposes occur It Is, however, likely that public needs and objectives can be changed as time go on, the study for multipurpose reservoir storage reallocation is performed as an alternative to reflect these. In this study, flood control analysis is performed for several alternatives of reallocation for the Daechung multi-purpose reservoir in Geum river. As a result, it is confirmed that flood control capability is not decreased compared to single operation of Daechung reservoir for the same flood condition even if conservation level of Daechung multi-purpose reservoir is increased.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between outdoor play environments and child's play behaviors. The data were collected by field measurement survey, and non-participatory observation from 9 child care centers in Daejeon. The field measurement survey were conducted from June 20 to July 20, 2004, whereas non-participatory behavior observation were conducted from September 2 to October 10, 2004. The major results showed the following. 1) The characteristics of outdoor play environment in child care centers showed that most of them were too small and did not use the adequate surfacing to play various activities. In many cases, outdoor play settings was made of play equipment setting, play props and manipulative settings, and tree/vegetation. 2) Child's play behavior has been focused on functional play activity and construction play activity. 3) The relationship between outdoor play environments and child's play behaviors showed that small outside play environment with monotonous construction and multi-complex play equipments produced functional play behaviors on children. On the other hand, where various play areas were put together, we could observe relatively diverse play behaviors. However, in some cases, despite the small and monotonous play area, diverse play behaviors were observed. These playgrounds at least differed from others in that they provided the place where multi purpose play was possible. This finding shows that multi purpose play areas can be an alternative in small playground environment.

This study aims at suggesting an alternative to improve current capacity of flood control for the existing Soyanggang multi-purpose dam which was constructed 20 years ago as a largest dam in Korea. The newly estimated value of the probable maximum precipitation(PMP) is 760.0 mm which is based on the hydrometeorological method. The peak inflow of 1000 years return period at the time of construction was 13,500$m^3$/s. However, the newly estimated peak inflow of the PMF is 18,100$m^3$/s which is 1.34 times bigger than the original one. In order to adopt the newly estimated PMF as a design flood, following four alternatives were compared; (1) allocation of more flood control space by lowering the normal high water level, (2) construction of a new spillway in addition to the existing one, (3) raising the existing dam crest, (4) construction of a new dam which has relevant flood control storage at the upstream of the Soyanggang multipurpose dam. The preliminary evaluation of these alternatives resulted in that the second alternative is most economical and feasible. So as to stably cope with the newly estimated PMF by meeting all the current functions of the multi-purpose dam, a detailed study of an additional spillway tunnel has to be followed.

A accurate reservoir inflow is very important as providing information for decision making about the water balance and the flood control, as well as for dam safety. The methods to calculate the inflow were divided by the directed method to measure streamflow from upstream reservoirs and the indirected method to estimate using the correlation of reservoir water level and release. Currently, the inflow of multi-purpose dam is being calculated by the indirect method and the reservoir water level to calculate the storage capacity is being used by centimeters(cm) units. Corresponding to the storage volume of 1cm according to scale and water level of multi-purpose dam comes up to from several 10 thousand tons to several million tons. If it converts to inflow during 1 hour, and it comes to several hundred $m^3/sec$(CMS). Therefore, the inflow calculated on the hourly is largely deviated along the water level changes and is occurred minus value as the case. In this research, the water level gage has been developed so that it can measure a accurate water level for the improvement for the error and derivation of inflow, even though there might be various hydrology and meteorologic considerations to analyse the water balance of reservoir. Also, it is confirmed that the error and the standard derivation of data observed by the new gage is decreased by 89,6% and 1/3 & 87% and 2/3 compared to that observed by the existing gage of Daecheong and Juam multi-purpose dam.

The purpose of this study is getting information for making a plan of immigrant workers in Korea. As a first step to suggest plans for immigrant workers who have multi-cultural background, this study investigated to the domestic living of Koreans(ChoSun-Tribe) of Gillim province in China. For this, usage of domestic space questionnaire were used. Results of the research were as follows. 1. The most popular LDK type was the one which kitchen was separated from living room and dining room. Most of them thought that kitchen and living room have to be separated. 2. There was no plan for laundry room specially and most houses have a washing machine in the bathroom. Most houses didn't install a bathtub in the bathroom and they didn't think that it was indispensable. 3. It was estimated that they used a living room as a multi-purpose room for the family but used a master bedroom for its own purpose. 4. They used a table and chair for meals normally but they took meals sitting on the floor with a large family or guest. 5.All of them took off the shoes inside of the house for hygienic reason. There was no plan for the space to take on-off shoes in most houses and they just put the mat on the floor for it. 6. Modified Ondol system which use water pipe under the floor was popular in apartment while most detached houses had traditional Ondol system. The satisfaction about Ondol system was very high compared to other ones and also Ondol system was the most desirable one for ChoSun-Tribe.

The aim of this study is to establish RGP lens care system using RGP lens multi-purpose solution(MPS) and cleaner. Each RGP lens was incubated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa standard strain, and the numbers of P. aeruginosa colony remaining after treatment by using MPS and/or cleaner including surface activating components were estimated. Soaking only in MPS for 30 min reduced the number of P. aeruginosa up to 50%. 95% of P. aeruginosa was eliminated at RGP lenses soaked in MPS for 4 hr, but P. aeruginosa was not detected at RGP lenses soaked for 6 hr. When only cleaner was used for RGP lens care, 70% of P. aeruginosa was eliminated. This result showed that using cleaner had more effective at removing P. aeruginosa than soaking in MPS for 30 min. When soaking in MPS for 30 min after using cleaner reduced the number of P. aeruginosa up to 36% of that which soaking only in MPS for 30 min. This result suggested that using cleaner could be helpful to improve the disinfection efficacy of short time soaking in MPS.

This study analyzes the contribution to the national economy of the stable water supply through managing multi-purpose dam. For the analysis, we consider 17 major multi-purpose dams and build a CGE model with summer water and winter water being the production factors as the base year of 2007. We analyze the economic impact of meeting water demand due to the dam management and estimate the risk premium of reducing the uncertainty of water supply. The analysis results show a significant production decrease in the industries of agriculture, forestry and fisheries and tap water as well as the food and beverage industry using the former industries' output as intermediates in the production and show an production increase largely in steel industry and electronic and electrical industries. Being compared to the benchmark solution, GNP is analyzed as being reduced by 0.22~0.68%. Meanwhile, the risk premium is estimated to be about 4 billion to 24 billion won for the value 01 the measure of relative risk aversion in the range 01 0.5 to 3.0.
