An oxyge generator, which is applied to a particular space such as automobile, must consider compactness and lightweight as well as problems caused by noise, vibration and heat dissipation. For these matters, a BLDC motor was adopted to reduce heat while a bed using synthetic zeolite NaX made it possible to generate high-density oxygen with relatively small size. Moreover, owing to the characteristic of synthetic zeolite Nax, a two-head vacuum pump was designed to desorb nitrogen without additional pump unit.

This study includes literature research and empirical study with the subject of experts in order to anticipate the direction of IPTV evolution, the extension of customer needs, and the technology related to needs themselves. According to the results of the study, it is expected that IPTV will evolve as a converged media platform that integrates the demands of communication, information, and entertainment; and the customer needs for IPTV will be extended from the basic needs for previous TV(high quality and low cost) to 4A(Any Time, Any Where, Any Contents, Any Device) needs. In particular, as the IPTV evolves, the needs for customization(Any Contents needs) will be regarded most importantly among the 4A needs; this implies that what matters is how contents are created and distributed in order for the IPTV to take priority in competition afterwards.

Avoidance refers to the process of terminating a contract because of a non-performance. It implies the right of the aggrieved party to refuse to accept further performance by the other side and to refuse to perform one's own counter-obligations, on a permanent basis. The 1980 U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods, hereinafter 'CISG', regulates in Arts. 81-84 the effects of avoidance. The primary effect is that prescribed in Art. 81.1 CISG: both parties are released from their obligations under the contract, subject to any damages which may be due. As seen, the CISG deals with the legal consequences of avoidance, including restitutionary claims. However, a closer look to CISG provisions on restitution reveals that certain matters are left open. For instance, the CISG leaves open questions such as the costs, place and time where restitution is to be made. In this particular, the Convention remains silent as to the consequences of a delayed or refused restitution or the buyer's liability when the goods are damaged or destroyed after the avoidance. In light of the above, the present article attempts to determine the extent to which the modes of restitution are regulated in the CISG and how possible gaps are to be filled.

A flotation process has a shorter processing time and needs less space than a sedimentation process. Dissolved air flotation process (DAF) is an efficient flotation method and used in a conventional wastewater treatment process. However, DAF requires the circulation of water containing compressed air and requires expensive installation and operation cost. Plasma Air Flotation (PAF) process is able to float flocs by micro bubbles generated from underwater plasma without the circulation of bubbly water and additional saturators. Therefore, PAF can be an alternative solution overcoming economic barriers. In this study, Humic acid removal efficiency by PAF process was compared with that of sedimentation process. 44.67% and 87.3% reduction rate based on UV 254 absorbance has been measured in sedimentation and PAF respectively. In particular, PAF in the flocculation zone can dramatically remove humic acid from water. In flocculation zone, PAF can separate organic matters but sedimentation cannot.

Great concerns on geotechnical risk & hazard assessment have been increased due to human and economic damage by natural disasters with recent global climate changes. In this paper, geotechnical problems in particular, landslides which is interested in European countries and North America, were mainly discussed. For these, 18 key topics on geotechnical risk and hazards which had been discussed at the LARAM 2008 workshop in Italy were analyzed after grouping by subjects. Main topic contents consisted of applications such as field measurement, early warning systems, uncertainty analysis of parameters using radar, optical data and statistical theory and so on. And the problems related to analysis of vulnerability and deformation due to earthquakes, investigation of gas zone using seismic reflection data in a landslide area, risk quantification and hazard assessment of landslide movements and multi-dimensional analysis for stability of complex slopes were attracted. Also, there were studies on risk matters of cultural heritage, the blockglide of clayey ground, simulations of debris flows based on GIS, quantification of the failure processes of rock slopes, a meshless method for 3D crack modelling, and finally risk assessment for cryological processes due to global warming.

The repeal of the block exemption for liner conferences and the abolition of any "special EC antitrust regime" for the shipping industry marks an important step in European maritime competition policy. This article examines the origins and the rationale of the EC antitrust immunity granted so far to the shipping industry and explains the causes of this historical change. Moreover, based on the precedents which have appeared so far, a general assessment is offered under this new EC regime on agreements restricting competition in the liner shipping industry, in particular horizontal ones: conference and tariff/freight arrangements will be doomed, whereas the legitimacy of consortia agreements should not be cast in doubt; a case-by-case analysis will be the approach as regards exchange or dissemination of information by shipowners in the market, and the relevant case law which emerges on these matters in other industries will be the criterion for their evaluation. Finally, a few remarks are made in respect of the international dimension of the decision to outlaw liner conferences and hence carve out EU Member States from the UN Code of Conduct regime.

The photovoltaic power system is performing power generation by being installed in outdoors. Therefore it has the characteristics affected by environmental factors. In particular, if the solar power generation facility connected to the grid, the power can be generated continuously in a state of being secured operating voltage of the inverter and solar irradiation. In that case, if an abnormal situation such as flooding or heavy rains has occur, the possibility of electric shock or damage of facilities due to current leakage or a floating matters is present. In this paper, we performed electrical safety assessment about the connection part, junction box and cable of the solar module when the solar power system was flooded. we also assessed whether or not the leakage current is occurred in case of the cable was damaged. As a result, in case of the leakage current is large, we can be known that it is the risk of electric shock as well as cause of inverter damage.

This study was executed to investigate matters connected with planting of Gapho Citizen's Woods(Park), and to offer the data about countermeasure. The study was executed in 1988 and 1989. The contents of the study were the condition of plants, the environmental factors, the states of tree planting and the user's behavior. The result of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. Because of incongruity of soil and regardless of physiological properties of trees, the plants were damaged by their environment. In particular, the stress of soil moisture was serious. 2. The unsuitable planting forms for the park were found out through the park, which was the result of imprudent, additional planting. And so in planting trees additionally, the participation of landscape architect is needed. 3. There is a serious noisy problem from express way. Because when they planted trees, they did not consider about noise. It affected the quality and utilization of the park.

This study investigates the awareness about competency assessment of the candidates for fourth class promotion, the competency factors and its operation, so that we find its problems and solutions. We carried out a questionnaire survey targeting the 64 candidates in April 2016. The results of this study are as follows. First, the candidates think that competency assessment system is helpful in improving reliability and fairness of promotion system and in eradicating nepotism. Second, the required competency factors needed to perform the role of fourth class public official are direction guidance, fostering, communication, integrative thinking, achievement management and power of execution in sequence. Third, in managing the competency assessment system, compulsory competency is considered more importantly than differentiated competency. Fourth, the candidates think that the competency assessment system can be applied advantageously to particular groups. Fifth, sufficient training period and information about the competency assessment system should be provided to solve the many problems caused by the lack of advance information about the system.

An environmental geochemical survey of heavy metal distribution in marine surface sediments around the ocean of Samcheonpo coal-fired power plant was conducted to investigate the possibility of coal-ash leakage from ash pond and the associated heavy metal pollution in sedimental deposits due to the operation of the coal-fired power plant. The X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) analysis showed that the main leakage point of coal-ash was limited to a single site of the first ash pond. It also appeared that the amounts of organic carbon and metal elements were positively correlated to the grain size distribution, and that Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Zn were bounded to organic ligands. However, the distributions of Cd, Hg, and Mn did not have any significant correlation with the sediment grain size and organic matters. In particular, the distribution of Cd appeared to be affected by the concentration of the carbonate materials in the study area.
