예로부터 인간은 단맛에 강한 욕구를 가지고 있었다. 따라서 설탕, 포도당, 과당 등 단맛이 강한 감미료를 선호하여 왔고, 현재까지도 식품 제조시 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 국민의 건강에 대한 관심이 고조 되고 설탕으로 대표되는 전통적인 일반 감미료의 충치, 비만, 당뇨병 유발 등의 부정적인 측면이 부각되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 식품에 대한 건강 기능성이 강조되면서 기능성 감미료가 주목 받고 있다. 특히 고도의 경제성장 및 국민 소득의 향상에 따라 차별화된 기능성 감미료의 생산을 요구하는 실정이다. 이와 관련하여, 현재 식품 산업계에서는 올리고당류, 당알콜류, 고감미 감미료류 등에 많은 관심을 가지고 연구 개발에 집중하고 있다. 올리고당류의 대표적인 제품은 프락토올리고당, 갈락토올리고당, 이소말토올리고당 등이다. 현재 올리고단 시장은 성숙기로서 성장속도가 둔화되고 있으나, 최근 American Association of Cereal Chemists(AACC)등 세계적인 협회에서 수용성 식이섬유를 다당류, 올리고당, 리그닌 등을 포함하여 새롭게 정의하였고 이에 따라 해외에서는 프락토올리고당을 중심으로 수용성 식이섬유로 용도 사용이 가능하게 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 식이섬유로 표기도 가능하게 되어 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 국내에서는 아직 올리고당을 식이섬유로 사용하지는 못하고 있으나, 식품 공전 개정을 통해 식이섬유로 표기 가능하도록 수정될 전망이다. 당알콜류는 솔비톨 및 자일리톨이 주류를 이루고 있다. 솔비톨은 시장에 가장 먼저 소개된 당알콜류인데 저가여서 그동안 가장 큰 시장을 형성하고 있었으나 최근 3년 동안 자일리톨껌이 최대의 히트 상품이 되면서 자일리톨이 급성장하였다. 그 외에는 만니톨, 에리스리톨, 말티톨, 이소말트 등이 있다. 최근에는 말티톨을 중심으로 다양한 응용 연구 및 이소말트 및 에리스리톨 등을 생산 판매하고 있는 다국적 기업의 판촉 활동 등으로 당알콜류 시장의 새로운 변화가 예상된다. 고감미 감미료류는 스테비오사이드와 아스파탐이 주류를 이루고 있었지만, 최근 아세설팜 K 및 수크랄로스가 잇따라 식품으로써 사용 허가를 받으면서 시장이 재편되고 있다. 하지만, 해외에 비하여 국내의 고감미 감미료 시장은 매우 작고 성장률도 낮은 편인데 그 이유로는 국민 정서상 천연이 아닌 합성에 대한 부정적 인식과 맛에 대한 거부감 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 이와 관련하여 최근에는 다양한 감미질 및 Multi sweetener system 연구를 통해 설탕과 유사한 맛을 내는 혼합 기술 개발에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 향후에는 해외의 선진국과 같이 고감미 감미료 시장도 점차적으로 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 기타 대체 감미료로는 타가토스, 트레할로스, 아라비노스 등이 있다. 이중에서 특히 해외에서 크게 기대를 모으고 있는 타가토스는 최근 국내 인증을 받아 시장 진출을 준비 중에 있다. 아라비노스는 양질의 감미를 갖는 천연 펜토오스인데 연구용 시약 이외에는 지금까지 거의 이용되지 않았다. 그러나 최근 아라비노스가 설탕의 소화흡수를 선택적으로 억제한다는 흥미 있는 결과가 임상 및 동물실험에서 확인되어 향후 제품으로써 개발을 기대할 수 있게 되었다. 이들 감미료는 기존 설탕이 가지는 문제점을 많은 부분 극복할 것으로 여겨지며, 이로 인해 수요는 점차 증가할 것으로 생각되며, 높은 경제적 부가 가치를 창출할 것으로 예상되어 진다. 생산 기술 적인 측면에서 건강 지향적 천연소재 감미료에 대한 선호가 날로 증가하는 추세에 따라 기존에 주로 사용되었던 화학합성법보다는 천연 이미지의 생물공학적인 방법에 의한 감미료 생산이 각광을 받을 것으로 예상된다. 생물공학적인 방법을 감미료 소재 개발에 응용하게 되면, 기존에 사용되었던 화학합성법 등이 가지는 환경적인 문제, 반응 부산물 생성에 따른 분리, 정제에서의 비용증가 등의 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 여겨지며, 고정화 방법의 도입 등을 통해 생산성 향상을 도모할 수 있다. 본 장에서는 감미료 소재 개발에 건강 지향적 국민 정서를 반영하고, 국내외 감미료 시장의 흐름을 파악하여 당류 산업의 발전적인 변화에 대처하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 당류산업의 고부가가치 첨단산업으로서의 육성방안을 논의하고자 하였다.

From the Phase II (2018~2020) of K-ETS, the offset credit from 'CDM projects that domestic companies and others have carried out in foreign countries' can be used in the K-ETS. As a result, stakeholders in the K-ETS market are actively developing overseas CDM projects, such as the 'high-efficiency cook stove project'. which can secure a large amount of credits while marginal cost is relatively low. This paper develops the investment decision-making model of offset project for the 'high-efficiency cook stove project' using the real option approach. Under the uncertainty of the emission allowance price, the optimal investment threshold (p^⁎) is derived and sensitivity analysis is conducted. As a result, in the standard scenario (PoA-S), the optimal investment threshold is 29,054won/ton, which is lower than the stock price (p^⁎_spot). However, allocation entities are not only economics in the CDM project, but also CDM risk factors such as non-renewable biomass ratio, cook stove replacement ratio, equity ratio with host country, investment period and submission limitation of emission allowance. In addition, offset project developers will be able to derive the optimal investment threshold for each business stage and use it for economic feasibility checks.

In recent years, many institutions predict that cloud services and big data will be popular IT trends in the near future. A number of leading IT vendors are focusing on practical solutions and services for cloud and big data. In addition, cloud has the advantage of unrestricted in selecting resources for business model based on a variety of internet-based technologies which is the reason that provisioning and virtualization technologies for active resource expansion has been attracting attention as a leading technology above all the other technologies. Big data took data prediction model to another level by providing the base for the analysis of unstructured data that could not have been analyzed in the past. Since what cloud services and big data have in common is the services and analysis based on mass amount of data, efficient operation and designing of mass data has become a critical issue from the early stage of development. Thus, in this paper, I would like to establish data processing architecture based on technological requirements of mass data for cloud and big data services. Particularly, I would like to introduce requirements that must be met in order for distributed file system to engage in cloud computing, and efficient compression technology requirements of mass data for big data and cloud computing in terms of cost-saving, as well as technological requirements of open-source-based system such as Hadoop eco system distributed file system and memory database that are available in cloud computing.

Crowd funding is the method of raising money for a project, companies from a large group of people via the Internet, in return for future products or equity. Kickstarter is the largest and most successful crowdfunding site where creative projects raise reward based funding. Drawing on dataset of 80,267 projects with combined funding over $1.3b from 8.1m people, this paper suggest that backer select project based on their preference on the project, instead profitability of the project. It suggests that well-established platform and big size of network increases the chance of success of the project due to a ripple effect and blockbuster effects. Clear communication about the project's idea and goal is highly correlated with success. Regular communication on the project site, such as by constant progress updates, helps the success of the project. Equity-based crowdfunding is emerging as an innovative means of raising capital for businesses, so it has been receiving a lot of attention and expectation from the government and the market. The findings of this paper and others will help to get some understanding and insight into equity-based crowdfunding. However, Kickstarter differs from equity-based crowdfunding in the goals of the backers. Kickstarter's backers are not investors, they are contributors. To understand equity-based crowdfunding, the subject will need further study.

This work tackles the problem of conventional reinforcement learning scheme which has a relatively long training time to reduce energy consumption in underwater network. The enhanced scheme adjusts the learning range of reinforcement learning based on distance estimation. It can be reduce the scope of learning. To take account the fact that the distance estimation may not be accurate due to the underwater wireless network characteristics. this research added noise in consideration of the underwater environment. In simulation result, the proposed AQ-NAV scheme has completed learning much faster than existing method. AQ-NAV can finish the training process within less than 40 episodes. But the existing method requires more than 120 episodes. The result show that learning is possible with fewer attempts than the previous one. If AQ-NAV will be applied in Underwater Networks, It will affect energy efficiency. and It will be expected to relieved existing problem and increase network efficiency.
