An efficient agricultural marketing system is very important to producers and consumers to keep the reasonable prices. In these days, the main policy for the efficient agricultural marketing system is to enlarge the direct transaction market. But it is not easy to enlarge the direct transaction market in a few years. This paper proposes a new efficient agricultural marketing system that gives a similar effect with the direct market. The proposed system is mainly composed of three associations; producers', consumers' and retailers'association, and the function of the system is devided into material affairs and commercial affairs. The structure of the system also can be simplified as two to three steps. So the system can reduce the cost of logistics and keep the reasonable prices for both producers and consumers.

In this paper, we proposed the reasonable design standard and countermeasures of Demand Factor for large office buildings, that was made by the statistical way considering actual conditions, such as investicated electric equipment capacity, electric power consumption, etc. So as to save electric equipment investment, the decrease of power loss, the improvement of facilities utilization and the decrease of electric rates, we can be contributed by the application of the design standard. The result of saving effect is showed to confirm the practical use of the proposed Demand Factor, and also, it is believed that this proposed Demand Factor will be useful in electric equipment operation and planning.

Rotary bending fatigue tests were carried out to investigate the improvement of fatigue limit in annealed and austempered spheroidal graphite cast iron. Main results obtained are as follows. (1) The tensile strength(hardness) of Series C is higher than that of Series B, and fatigue limits are 245MPa in Series C, 230MPa in Series B and 195MPa in Series A, respectively. (2) The fatigue limits of Series B and Series A are mainly governed by the resistance to fatigue crack initiation. Whereas, the fatigue limit of Series C is governed by the resistance to fatigue crack initiation and growth. The defect size and the resistance to crack initiation and growth should be considered to clarify the fatigue properties in spheroidal graphite cast iron. (3) Improvement of fatigue limit by half-austempering is more reasonable than that of full-austempering treatment in multi defective materials as spheroidal graphite cast iron.

In this paper, the baseline-length information is directly modeled as a measurement for the Wald test, which speeds up the resolution convergence of the integer ambiguity of GPS carrier phase measurements. The convergent speed improvement is demonstrated using numerical simulation and real experiments. It is also shown that the integer ambiguities can be resolved using only four actual satellite measurements with very reasonable convergence speed, if the baseline-length information is used just like one additional observable satellite measurement. Finally, it is shown that the improvement of convergence speed of the Wald test is due to the increase of the probability ratio with the use of the baseline-length constraint.

In recent years, the specialized construction industry has undergone major construction and major industries, and without considering the technical expertise of construction works, the construction industry is promoting the integration and establishment of specialized construction industries according to convenience and abolition of their own industries. As the reorganization plan causes confusion in the production structure and lacks persuasive power by aiming only for industry simplification, it is judged to be desirable to review it according to the detailed characteristics of the specialized construction industry. In this study, -to review the reorganization of a rational classification system that considers the specific nature of the specialization of specialized construction projects, the classification of construction works, major work contents and characteristics, technical expertise, and problems of largescale industry in the case of painting construction and landscaping construction was analyzed. Based on this, aspects to be considered when reorganizing the current professional construction industry classification system are identified and reasonable improvement plans for each industry are suggested.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a method for applying a reasonable dam axial seismic load loading method and load-bearing capacity evaluation method in the dynamic analysis of the pier part of a concrete dam to which the seismic force of the collapse prevention level is applied. To this end, the pier part of a concrete dam was selected as a target facility, and the characteristics of the dynamic behavior in the axial direction of the weir dam were analyzed through dynamic analysis applying various weir widths, and 'U.S. The load-bearing capacity evaluation was performed by applying the RC hydraulic structure evaluation technique suggested by the Army Corps, 2007'. As a result of the study, when applying seismic force in the axial direction of the pier part, it is more realistic to assume that the axial direction of the weir part dam behaves as a rigid body and 'U.S. Army Corps, 2007' suggested that the method of reviewing the load-bearing capacity for moment and shear was considered reasonable, so it was concluded that improvement of the current evaluation method was necessary. If the improvement of the research result is applied, it will have the effect of deriving more reasonable evaluation results than the current seismic performance evaluation method using CLE. It is judged that additional research is needed in the future on the torsional moment occurring in the pier part.

ISO9000 set of standards has been widely applied in Iranian Automotive manufacturing industry. Regarding the effects of TQM and ISO9000 set of standards various studies have been conducted and different quantitative conclusions have been made. Due to lack of quantitative information, in many of the cases, using qualitative information becomes the best option. The qualitative nature of data in such cases, requires qualitative analysis methods that might lead to some challenging computational issues. This paper examines the impact of ISO9000: 2000 certification and its perceived benefits for an automotive manufacturing company. Using an empirical approach, the paper seeks to ascertain if certification has indeed improved the performance of the company. Our null hypothesis rotates around the effect of ISO9000: 2000 on the 4W's of an enterprise. To carry out the research, first we developed a couple of questionnaires including all criteria of ISO9000 and 4W's. Second, the questionnaires were discussed with two researchers knowledgeable in the field, and then submitted to the quality practitioners and executives of Iran Khodro Enterprise-a leading company in Iranian automotive manufacturing industry. Finally the null hypothesis was tested and the technology improvement dimensions were ranked through nonparametric tests. The results illustrated a reasonable cause and effect relationship, suggesting that ISO9000: 2000 has positive effect on the 4W's of company result. In this work we investigate the effect as technology improvement viz., the improvement of techno-ware, human-ware, info-ware, and organ-ware.

Causes of the levee collapse are directly or indirectly associated with geotechnical engineering as well as hydraulics. In this paper, literature survey and analysis were conducted to present the alternatives in geotechnical engineering issues for rational levee design. The alternatives include the reasonable river-bed soil utilization and precautions of numerical analysis and slope stability analysis, disruption type and improvement method of drainage facility.

Although pseudo-dynamic test and shaking table test have been performed using small scale models to evaluate the seismic performance of RC structures, researches on similitude law are not sufficient. This study presents a reasonable similitude law for improvement of economical efficiency and reliability.
