Container terminals are various in terms of layout, cargo handling systems and operational aspects resulting in difference in productivity and economic feasibility. Therefore, by evaluating different terminal types, more comprehensive understanding can be grasped. For this the paper aims at evaluating the three terminal types under operation, the conventional terminal, the unmaned terminal and the indented terminal, with respect to productivity and cost. Based on the results in connection with the situation of Korean container terminal operation, feasibility for each type is discussed with suggestion for the optimal type.

The domestic reinforcement concrete works have mainly worked the process of re-bar fabrication/assembly on site and re-bar works affected by structural safety, durability, and schedule with form work. Accordingly, This study analyzes the process of re-bar fabrication/assembly on site to apply lean production principles to construction Value Stream Analysis(VSA) is analyzed into value-adding activity and non-value-adding activity on construction process through value analysis and Value Stream Mapping(VSM). In the results, non-value-adding activity generates waste such as the activity steps, labors, equipments, materials, time, and so on. Additionally, push-driven production is investigated making low productivity from the overproduction and so on. To resolve the problems in the process, The purpose of this paper eliminates waste factor through maximizing the value-adding activity generating value added and minimizing non-value adding activity. Particularly, it makes flow production and pull-driven production through minimizing work-in-process(WIP ).

To improve L-lysine yield, pyrimidine base analogue(6-azauracil)-resistant mutants were isolated from Corynebacterium glutamicum KFCC10672 Among them the best producer, C. glutamicum CH0516, was selected and tested for L-lysine production in a $7\ell$ fermentor. It was found that the product yield obtained with C. glutamicum CH0516 was higher than that of the parent strain by 3%. In order to elucidate the gain in productivity with the 6-azauracil-resistant mutant enzymatic kinetic parameters such as aspartokinase(AKase) and aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ATCase) were measured. The Km values of AKase with C. glutamicum KFCC10672 and CH0516 were 200.0 mM and 166.7 mM and those of ATCase were 0.13 mM and 0.27 mM, respectively. However, the specific enzyme activities of AKase of C. glutamlcum KFCC10672 and CH0516 were $3.89{\times}10^{-1}$ units/mg and $4.78{\times}10^{-1}$ units/mg, and those of ATCarse were 2.20 units/mg and 1.84 units/mg, respectively. It appears that some increase in product yield with C. gluramicum CH0516 is likely due to the increased Akase activity and decreased ATCase activity.

Recently, the importance of the construction technology of the free-formed buildings is becoming more significant, as the interest and demand for the free-formed buildings are increasing. However, it takes much time and cost during the construction of free-formed buildings because the current construction technique of freeform concrete segments is manufactured by a formwork. Therefore, in this study, we suggested a new manufacturing process based on the LOM-type 3D printer for freeform concrete segments that can shorten construction time and reduce cost when constructing freeform concrete segments, and we also verified the feasibility of production process through mock-up test. The result shows that the suggested process shortened 47.8% of production time and saved 56.2% of cost compared to the existing steel formwork method. In conclusion, it is expected that the production method of freeform concrete segments using 3D printer will contribute to the improvement of productivity of freeform concrete segments construction and the activation of new construction method for free-formed building construction.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and environmental efficiency by income level of Korean farms, and analyze the factors to decide three efficiencies. Depending on the non-parametric methods, we estimate technical using inputs and outputs of total farms without assuming of goods or behavior of optimization. The average technical efficiency of total firms under constant return to scale and strong disposability is 0.437. The technical inefficiency was caused by 47.7% in pure technical inefficiency, 11.3% in scale failure, and 3.2% in environmental inefficiency. The number of firms under increasing return to scale occupied almost 70% and 27% of total firms respectively. Higher are income class, middle debt & long debt per asset, and N effluents per cultural land, higher technical efficiency. The increases of BOD discharges per cultural land and machines per cultural land deteriorate environmental efficiency.

Plant cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon were performed in stirred tank and packed-bed reactors with in situ extraction by n-hexadecane. The specific shikonin production and volumetric shikonin productivity of stirred tank reactor reached 1.5 mg shikoninlg cell and 400$\mu g$ shikonin/(L.day), respectively. In packed-bed reactor with calcium alginate-immobilized cells specific shikonin production and volumetric productivity reached 2.0 mg shikoninlg cell and 2857$\mu g$ shikonin/(L.day), which were 1.3 and 7.1 times higher than those of stirred tank reactor, respectively. The higher shikonin production and productivity of packed-bed reactor seemed to be due to high cell loading capacity of calcium alginate immobilized cells in packed-bed reactor and improved cell-cell contact.

This research was carried out to evaluate the royal jelly production in Apis mellifera through the selection of superior honeybee lines. For the study, two inbred honeybee lines A and C were evaluated for the production of royal jelly by their workers, royal jelly production per colony (g), and the acceptance percentage of grafted larvae (%). The results showed that, the average royal jelly production per colony was highest ($33.7{\pm}7.41g$) in the inbred line C in comparison to other lines and the percentage of larvae acceptance ($87.8{\pm}7.5%$) was also highest in the inbred line C in comparison to other liens. The royal jelly produced by the three honeybee lines was analyzed for their trans-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) content using a column liquid chromatography technique. Chromatographic results showed that the royal jelly produced by the inbred honeybee line C had the maximum amount of 10-HDA. We also observed age-dependent alterations of the major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs), which were differentially expressed in the two inbred lines and the commercial line, using quantitative real time-PCR (qRT-PCR).

금융기관(金融機關)은 기업, 가계, 정부와 함께 우리 경제를 구성하는 주요한 부분이다. 금융기관은 최종적 차입자와 최종적 대부자를 중개하는 과정에서 여러가지 서어비스를 우리에게 제공하면서 존재한다. 금융기관이 제공하는 서어비스는 우리의 경제생활에 매우 중요한 영향을 미친다. 금융기관의 행동이 경제에 미치는 영향을 분석하기에 앞서 어떤 조건하에서 금융기관이 존립할 수 있는가를 알아보는 것도 금융기관의 행동을 이해하기 위해 의미있는 일일 것이다. 본 논문은 정보불균형(情報不均衡)의 관점에서 금융기관의 존립을 분석, 설명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 경제문제의 불확실성과 복잡성의 증대는 민간의 제한된 합리성을 더욱 제한되게 만들고 역으로 제한된 합리성 때문에 불확실성과 복잡성은 더욱 중요한 문제가 된다. 여기에다 인간의 이기주의가 결합하게 되면 정보의 유통이 불완전해져 정보가 불균등하게 분포하게 되는 현상이 생긴다. 정보불균형(情報不均衡)은 거래를 위촉시키고 극단적인 경우 시장실패(市場失敗)를 가져온다. 금융기관은 정보생산을 통해 거래위축이나 시장주패(市場朱敗)를 방지할 수 있는 역할을 한다. 금융기관이 정보생산을 한다고 해도 개별정보생산자나 직접 금융에 비해 정보생산비용면에서 우위를 가질 수 있어야 금융기관의 존립은 가능할 것이다. 즉 정보불균형(情報不均衡)을 해소하기 위한 정보생산이 금융기관이 존립할 수 있는 필요조건이라면, 정보생산의 경제성은 금융기관이 존립할 수 있는 필요충분조건이 된다고 할 수 있다. 금융기관이 개별정보생산자나 직접 금융보다 정보생산면에서의 경제성을 가질 수 있는 가능성은 첫째, 분산효과(分散效果)로 인한 대리비용(代理費用)의 감소(減小) 둘째, 분산효과(分散效果)로 인한 구성원보상(構成員補償)의 불확실성감소(不確實性減小) 세째, 금융기관 구성원간의 정보공유효과(情報共有效果)이다.

The purpose of this paper is primarily to introduce a nonparametric statistical tool developed by Baek and Brock to detect a unidirectional causal ordering between two economic variables and apply it to interesting macroeconomic relationships among money, production and prices. It can be applied to any other causal structure, for instance, defense spending and economic performance, stock market index and market interest rates etc. A key building block of the test for nonlinear Granger causality used in this paper is the correlation. The main emphasis is put on nonlinear causal structure rather than a linear one because the conventional F-test provides high power against the linear causal relationship. Based on asymptotic normality of our test statistic, the nonlinear causality test is finally derived. Size of the test is reported for some parameters. When it is applied to a money, production and prices model, some evidences of nonlinear causality are found by the corrected size of the test. For instance, nonlinear causal relationships between production and prices are demonstrated in both directions, however, these results were ignored by the conventional F-test. A similar results between money and prices are obtained at high lag variables.
