Changes of antioxidative components and activity of fermented tea manufactured by Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus were evaluated during the fermentation period. The ascorbic acid content in the fermented tea was relatively lower (43.62~62.84 mg%) than that of green tea (66.74 mg%) during the entire fermentation period. The tea fermented by L. bulgaricus, which had the least contact with air, showed less change in ascorbic acid content. The polyphenol content of green tea was 14.88%, whereas that of fermented tea was 11.54~14.12% and it decreased during the fermentation period. The amount of flavonoids in green tea was 7.78 mg%, whereas that of fermented tea was 4.33~7.88 mg%. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS reducing activity of green tea were 87.47% and 203.22 AEAC mg% (ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity), respectively, whereas those of fermented tea were lower than green tea. Results indicated that the antioxidative components and activity of fermented tea were lower than those of green tea during the fermentation period. But, when the sensory and hygienic quality are considered, fermented tea can be one of the higher quality tea products on the market.

The project management information system (PMIS) has recently been developed by using the information technology(IT) in order to implement advanced information management technology to construction industry in Korea. The PMIS has been applied not only to domestic construction projects, but also to some overseas projects executed by Korean construction companies. This study was performed to develop the PMIS that is tailored to the US construction IT market. It has been monopolized by the US-based IT companies, but other companies are recently emerging with competitive technology and market strategy. As a preceding study, existing commercially available systems were analyzed, and the required features of the PMIS were identified by analyzing the core elements of contract, process and cost management about construction projects in the US. Then, the PMIS was developed based on the aforementioned analysis results. The system includes the document management module with an internal electronic approval system, the cost-plus-based automatic labor cost calculation module, and the progress management module to support the integrated project cost management. In addition, the functionality of the developed system was verified by experts about construction management in the US via questionnaire survey. The developed PMIS, in this study, is expected to be applied not only to the US construction IT market as a system specialized for the US construction industry, but also to other oversea markets in the future.

As it is changing into aging society, rehabilitation, welfare and sports industry markets are being expanded fast. Especially, the field of vital signals interface to control welfare instruments like wheelchair, rehabilitation ones like an artificial arm and leg and general electronic ones is a new technology field in the future. Also, this technology can help not only the handicapped, the old and the weak and the rehabilitation patients but also the general public in various application field. The commercial bio-signal measurement instruments and interface systems are complicated, expensive and large-scaled. So, there are a lot of limitations for using in real life with ease. this thesis proposes a wireless transmission interface system that uses EMG(electromyogram) signals and a control module to manipulate hardware systems with portable size. We have designed a hardware module that receives the EMG signals occurring at the time of wrist movement and eliminated noises with filter and amplified the signals effectively. DSP(Digital Signal Processor) chip of TMS320F2808 which was supplied from TI company was used for converting into digital signals from measured EMG signals and digital filtering. We also have used PCA(Principal Component Analysis) technique and classified into four motions which have right, left, up and down direction. This data was transmitted by wireless module in order to display at PC monitor. As a result, the developed system obtains recognition success ratio above 85% for four different motions. If the recognition ratio will be increased with more experiments. this implemented system using EMG wrist direction signals could be used to control various hardware systems.

Design is a knowledge service industry that is undervalued in Korea despite its large impact on the development of high - tech industries such as national industrial policy and the fourth industrial revolution. In the design industry, the strategic outsourcing system collapses. This phenomenon is not confined to the domestic market, and the design service companies of design-developed countries such as Europe and the US are also struggling with the classic. Accordingly, some implications were found through the case study of domestic design projects, including overseas, that private companies are more concerned with design cost reduction and cost structure to secure liquidity rather than improving design quality level and pursuing innovation through design outsourcing. It is big. As design is a core competency of a company, internalizing core design tasks, and as products and services become platforms, regional design countermeasures have been reduced, which has led to a decline in the cost standard for large companies' design service outsourcing. In design service industry, design outsourcing is performed at the request of the client, and the service value of the outsourcing is received. In the early 2000s, the importance of design management led global consulting companies to pursue M & A rather than cooperate with design service companies, and Samsung Electronics and other large corporations acquired a large number of excellent design personnel and developed their own design management research institute. This study investigated the design service outsourcing cases of public and private companies (large corporations, midsize companies) widely in relation to the design service price criterion, and grasped the indicators of the actual size and level of the design industry. I will make suggestions about the value and direction of the global design industry through interviews with experts and literature on the changes and influences of these cost criteria.

With the intention of obtaining technical data for the industrial production of ${\gamma}-MnO_2$ for dry cell depolarizer by electrolytic oxidation of acidic manganese sulfate solution made from domestic rhodochrosite, optimum conditions of ore leaching, purification of leached solution and electrolytic oxidation of divalent manganes to tetravalent were investigated using simulated micro pilot plant having a production capacity of 4 kg of $MnSO_4$ per day. The nature and quality of the products were investigated by means of chemical analysis, DTA, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The cell activity of $MnO_2$were examined by cell discharging character measurements. The optimum electrolysis conditions were as follow: Temperature of the electrolyte, above $90^{\circ}C$; current density, 0.7${\sim}A/dm^2$; anode materials, graphite or lead ; concentration of electrolyte, $MnSO_4 50{\sim}150g/l $ g/l and $H_2SO_4/MnSO_4 = 0.15{\sim}0.25$. Under the best condition the current efficiency was 99% and the products were almost pure ${\gamma}-MnO_2$. The cell discharging character were good and almost the same as that of regular grade commercial electrolytic manganese dioxide.

This paper mainly deals with the appropriation of ship voyage allocation, using a heuristic regression model, in order to reduce total costs incurred in port, yard and at sea under the specific port condition. Because of different behavior of costs incurred in port, yard and at sea, an effort to minimize these costs by adjusting the number of voyages for three ship classes(50,000, 100,000, and 150,000-ton) should be made. For instance, if the port managers attempt to reduce the sea transport cost by increasing the annual allocated number of ship voyages classed 150,000-ton for economies of scale, they have no choice but to suffer a significant increase in queueing cost due to port congestion. To put it differently, there are trade-off relationships among the costs incurred in port, yard, and at sea. We utilized a computer simulation result to perform a couple of regression analyses in order to figure out the appropriate range of allocated number of voyages of each ship class using a heuristic approach. The detailed analytical results will be shown at the main paper. We also suggested a net present value(NPV) model to make a proper investment decision for an additional berth of 200,000-ton class that alleviates port congestion and reduces transport cost incurred both in port and at sea.

Boron carbide is lower in hardness than diamond or boron nitride but has a hardness of more than 30 GPa and is used for manufacturing tank armors and ammo shells due to its high hardness. It is also used as a neutron absorber due to its ability to absorb neutrons, which is increasing its use in nuclear power projects. Neutrons have no interaction with electrons and are known to pass through the material without interactions. Along with boron carbide, the atoms with high interaction with neutrons are hydrogen, and high hydrogen concentration polyesters and epoxy polymers including boron are used as materials for manufacturing products for nuclear power generation waste. In this paper, the surface of boron carbide is treated with iron oxide and tungsten to improve interaction between modified boron carbide and epoxy polymer. XRD and XPS were used to confirm that iron oxide and tungsten are well attached on the surface of boron carbide, respectively. The mechanical strength of the surface treated boron carbide was measured by a universal testing machine (UTM) and the dynamic characteristics of the cured product were observed by using a dynamic analyzer (DMA).

We sought to develop natural preservatives or functional health foods from black soybeans (Yakkong, Seoritae and Chungkukjang). These materials were extracted with distilled water or 70% (v/v) ethanol, and the extracts sanalyzed for polyphenol content and tested for antioxidative and fibrilytic activities. The polyphenol contents of water extracts from Yakkong and Yakkong Chungkukjang was 316.23 mg/100 g, 896.01 mg/100 g, respectively, whereas those from Seoritae and Seoritae Chungkukjang were 304.28 mg/100 g and 875.23 mg/100 g. The polyphenol contents of water extracts from Chungkukjang were 2.8-fold higher than those from black soybean. The electron-donating abilities (EDAs) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities of water extracts from black soybean Chungkukjang were higher than those of water extracts from black soybean, but both extracts had fibrinolytic activity, the highest activity was present in water extracts of Yakkong Chungkukjang. The polyphenol contents, and antioxidative and fibrinolytic activities of extracts from black soybean Chungkukjang were higher than those of other black soybean extracts from black soybeans. These results indicate that black soybean Chungkukjang can be used for development of a health food or as a natural antioxidant.

Ground resistance measurement is an elementary technique for the evaluation of grounding system. There are main environmental factors to consider for correct measurement but the problem is that it is practically most cases to measure ground resistance unable to know the factors. This paper presents a methodology toward true value of resistance in the unknown circumstances, utilizing the defined term 'variation rate' of potential difference curve appearing in the distance to a current probe as in the three point fall-of-potential method which comprises the characteristics of environmental factors. This methodology is a induced result from the previous demostrated studies.
