It is a fundamental element of the nuclear power plant operation to assess exactly the occupational radiation exposure. And, according to recently published ICRP 60 recommendation, it is needed to reduce individual radiaton exposure limit further. In this paper, an optimization techique was suggested for selection of alternatives for reducing occupational radiation exposure, and used in reviewing alternatives given by a plant utility. After the basic analysis, sensitivity analysis was performed to consider the variabilities of the economic variables. From the result, it was found that an option using steam generator nozzle dam and torquing machine was the best with respect to total benefits, and in case of multi-attribute utility analysis, an option using Co-No seal had the highest utility. Therefore, it was necessary to apply more than one technique togeter in optimization study and to consider qualitative factor, too.

This paper proposes a new learning recommendation system for learning patterns that educators are applying to learners using item-based method. The proposed method in this paper first collects personal learning methods based on learning information that learners are performing through the internet contents site. Then this system recommends a learning method which is estimated most properly to learners after classifying learning elements based on these information. The students of a middle school took part in the experiment in order to evaluate the proposed system, and the students were divided into three groups according to their grades. We gave inter-attribute and intra-attribute weights to learning elements applying to each group for recommending the most efficient method to improve learning achievement. The experiment showed that the learning achievement of learners in the proposed method is improved considerably compared to the previous grades.

This study proposes the Book-Curation service as part of the information service offered through school library websites. Also, this study aims to establish recommendation standards for curation prior to detailed system planning. For such service, the following tasks were carried out. First, the list of recommended books of existing systems were analyzed to identify the attributes that can be used for recommendation in the user and book information. Second, the analyzed attributes were utilized to establish 12 recommendation standards. Finally, a survey was carried out to identify the user preferences as to each standards. The results are as follows. First, the majority of students responded that curation service is necessary for using a library. Second, the top three standards are as follows: "best lending books based on the keywords of individual users"; "best lending books of the same year students"; "best lending books on the textbook-related reference booklist".

With the rapid development of big data and Internet technologies among IT technologies, it is being changed into an environment where data stored in the cloud environment can be used wherever the Internet is connected, without storing important data in an external storage device such as USB. However, protection of users' privacy information is becoming increasingly important as the data being processed in the cloud environment is changed into an environment that can be easily handled. In this paper, we propose a user-reserving management model that can improve the user 's service quality without exposing the information used in the cloud environment to a third party. In the proposed model, user group is grouped into virtual environment so that third party can not handle user's privacy information among data processed in various cloud environments, and then identity property and access control policy are processed by block chain.

The purpose of this research lies in analyzing the corelation between the eco-friendly management activities of a cosmetic company and customers' decision making in terms of purchase. In this research, 355 copies of questionaire from general customers were analyzed using the statistic package program of SPSS v.18.0. Based on the research analysis, the attributes of eco-friendly management activities can be categorized into three factors such as 'energy saving', 'contribution to communities', and 'environment-oriented services' and have the statistically meaningful positive influence on the three factors of customers' decision making; 'purchasing intention', 'assessment of purchase', and 'repurchase'. This research shows that the eco-friendly management activities of a cosmetic company is an important factor for its successful marketing strategy. This research has a significance in that it has studied the eco-friendly management activities of a cosmetic company through stereotyping. We can expect successful marketing effect if a cosmetic company uses eco-friendly products, information, and services in its eco-friendly marketing.

Mode choice behavior is associated with travelers' latent behavior that is an unobservable preference to travel behavior or mode characteristics. This paper specifically addresses the problem of unobservable factors, that is latent behavior, in mode choice models. Consideration of latent behavior in mode choice models reduces the errors that come from unobservable factors. In this study, the authors defined the latent variables that mean a quantitative latent behavior factors, and developed the combined RP/SP model with latent variables using the mode choice behavior survey data. The data has traveler's revealed preference of existent modes along the Han River and stated preference of new water transit on the Han River. Also, The data has travelers' latent behavior. Latent variables were defined by factor analysis using the latent behaviour data. In conclusion, it is significant that the relationship between traveler's latent behavior and mode choice behavior. In addition, the goodness-of-fit of the mode choice models with latent variables are better than the model without latent variables.

Locative media is fundamentally different from traditional media in terms of being packed with user's space, place, and position nearby, which does not simply mean user's physical coordinates. This study has been started that I was drawn by the tendency of which current locative media contents are based on 'location-based information,' and closely related with 'Augmented Reality.' I wonder how media user's psychological experience/involvement are revealed when the media environment changes by the progress of technology. I wonder how media users perceive 'social presence' formed by locative media in current locative media environment. Particularly, the fact that user's perception of social presence formed in locative media conflicts with the previous computer-mediated communication(CMC)'s attributes deepened my curiosity. In this study, the idea of 'more-proper-construct' is suggested, the characteristics of social presence in current locative media is considered, and is investigated by qualitative methodology how the 'location-based' attributes and 'AR' contribute to forming the social presence.

The development and application of cultural technologies(CT) are expected to lead to create various service scenarios and business models. Considering the wide range of application and extensibility of CT, it is necessary to design multidimensional evaluation methods for priority of the support of R&D budgets. The method should include the various evaluation criteria such as economic feasibility and user benefit of service made by a cultural technology. Our research addresses priority decision for fosterage of cultural technologies using fuzzy TOPSIS. Seven evaluation attributes are used to compare five specific technologies. Based on the results, service usefulness is the most important factor among the evaluation attributes. Also, technologies of computer graphics and UI/UX have higher priority than the others. We expect our research to help to provide guidelines for selection of promising cultural technologies which foster the culture and contents industry.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the meaning and lexical morpheme of author keywords of humanities, social sciences, and art and sport in the Korea Ciation Index (KCI) and to propose a conceptual taxonomy of the author keywords. Four top-level concept categories such as 'Substance, Abstraction, General/Common, and Object' are replaced by seven more concrete categories such as 'object, action/function, property, theory/method, format/framework, general/common, and Instance'. In the middle and lower-level concept categories, the hierarchical structure is simplified and the unbalance of term distribution is reduced by creating, subdivision, integration, elimination, and movement of the categories. The result of the test based on the STNet shows that the replaced taxonomy of concept categories has the effects of making the term allocation more balanced and properties of terms more detailed.

The study of safety culture estimate has received a wide attentions in many other industries, rather in the contexture of railroad stands at an initial phase. A factor analysis and internal reliability test were conducted to check if the survey results are reliable by looking at how the factors are dimensioned and how the questionnaires are sub-grouped in accordance with such factors, and further if there are any other common attributes being extracted as a new factor. The designed 5 factors were expanded to 7 through the test, and they were renamed accordingly. The questionnaires are reorganized according to the new 7 factors. It implicates that thorough investigation of the common attributes is important in reducing the gaps between interviewers' and interviewees' understanding. Moreover, the results of internal reliability test represent the new design of questionnaire is reasonably acceptable with the high reliable values. We expect such approaches can be applied for the railway culture survey study to be more reliable and applicable.
