  • A distributed hydrologic model of an urban drainage area on Bugok drainage area in Oncheon stream was developed and combined with a optimization method to determine the optimal location and number of best management practices (BMPs) for storm water runoff reduction. This model is based on the SCS-CN method and integrated with a distributed hydrologic network model of the drainage area using system of 4,211 hydrologic response units (HRUs). Optimal location is found by locating HRU combination that leads to a maximum reduction in peak flow at the drainage outlet in this model. The results of this study indicate the optimal locations and numbers of BMPs, however, for more exact application of this model, project cost and SCS-CN reduction rate of structural facilities such infiltration trench and pervious pavement will have to be considered.

  • English is the accepted common working language of the maritime world and being competent in its use is essential to the safety of ships, their crews and the marine environment. This paper is a response to the urgent need to find a suitable solution to the problem of providing maritime students with quality instruction in Maritime English. This paper will show what type of English instructor is best suited to help cadets have at least a basic grasp of Maritime English communication, with a view to possessing the level required by STCW 95 within the shortest time. It presents ways that maritime institutes can develop their own qualified or 'marinated' English Instructors and what qualifications should be required. It is concluded that by further essential research, interviews and questionnaires etc., the language needs of the university and shipping industry in Korea as a whole can be clearly verified. By examining such data, the present language education systems can be evaluated as to efficacy and relevance, allowing the establishment and implementation of 'best practice' within the training institute. This will result in making excellent informed decisions and choices about how best to improve the language competencies of graduating cadets, thereby creating the catalyst for the success of future seafarers whilst raising the image of the institute and Korean shipping worldwide.

  • Throughout the history of UCP, the longest lasting operational rules have been those derived from internationally acceptable best practices. I would propose that the effort to establish best practices be undertaken using four tools the SBPED, ISP98, the Opinions of the Banking Commission, and decisional law by respected courts in jurisdictions that influence letter of credit case law in the various regions. The SBPED and the ISP98 should be used; not only as a model for the drafting of future operational rules, but also as a questionnaire on best practices directed to all the national committees. The Opinions of the Banking Commission and the leading cases should be used to verify the soundness and enforceability of proposed rules. For this reason, I would suggest that the revision wait until the dust settles sometime in 2003 (10 years after the enactment of UCP 500) and we know if it is a good idea to attempt the drafting of new operational rules and whether to merge with closely related sets of rules. To do otherwise may entail a revision of the revision while it is still going on, or worse, discarding it before the ink dries or the electronic message reaches its intended recipient.

  • The present study aimed to find out the most effective instructional method for illustration to aid the $21^{st}$-century post digital generation learners in their education. Although the literature discusses government-led enactment and revision of educational policy and curriculums and research reports by the Ministry of Education and other government agencies as well as many other research articles deal with futuristic instructional methods, the instructional methods in practice have not fully changed yet. Illustration is a means of visual communication and a subject that best represent 'expressionism' and 'speed' of the post digital generation. The present study exemplifies instructional methods to establish the need for lesson plans that best suit individuality of students and for re-training instructors. Also, the feedback process with students proved that the post digital generation learned Photoshop quickly and improved creativity via image synthesis even in short-term instructions. The present findings can be possibly used as reference data for instructional methods for illustration using digital media that best suits learners of the post digital generation. This being said, further studies should delve into specific instructional methods.

  • This study investigated and analyzed operating policies and status of the best practices repository in the world to propose the successful strategies of management and establishment of repository. The best practices were selected from the top 10 of the Ranking Web of World Repositories by CSIC and Registry of Open Access Repositories by JISC. These repositories fell into two rough classes, disciplinary and institutional repositories. Policies on operation and support, collection, management, distribution and information services, long-term preservation, technology and copyright were analyzed. Characteristic of disciplinary and institutional repository policies were also identified.

  • The study aims to investigate corporate social responsibility (CSR) best practices of the world automotive industry - Peugeot, BMW, Ford, Hyundai and Toyota among others - and recommend that they plan their business strategies and managerial responses accordingly. Based on the comparative research and case studies, this research finds that all five automobile manufacturers have taken very similar measures and actions in order to establish and maintain a high level of CSR practices. Sustainability was a core value in all five companies and served as a guiding principle in every aspect and approach of their business. This study finds that all five companies have CSR strategies in place to increase energy efficiency as well as reduce the usage and wastage of water in their production and plants. This research also finds that all companies monitor their suppliers and their own production process to ensure that they maintain their CSR standards. More impressively, this sustainable management practice is transferred along the companies' supply chain through education and training. Their suppliers and business partners are closely monitored to make sure that their high CSR standards are respected and followed. However, we find that there also are some differences in terms of their CSR deliveries and activities.

  • Stature estimation is an important process of biological profile analysis for the identification of skeletal remains. In forensic practice, non-long bones might be needed for estimating stature, in case long bones were not recovered or well preserved. This study developed the stature estimation model from dry sterna in a Thai population. The combined length of manubrium and mesosternum (CMM) was the best single stature estimation indicator for males and combined sex samples, whereas the sternal area (SA) was the best stature estimation indicator for females in our study. The best multiple regression analysis models of our study were stature equal 122.685+0.182 (CMM)+0.592 (intercostal length between the third and fourth ribs [ICL34]) with a standard error of estimation (SEE) of 6.134 cm for males, stature equal 130.676+0.005 (SA) with SEE of 5.370 cm for females, and stature equal 79.412+0.342 (CMM)+0.506 (corpus sterni width at first sternebra [CSWS1])+0.794 (ICL34) with SEE of 6.222 cm for unknown sex samples. The results indicated that a sternum can be used for estimating the stature of skeletal remains in a Thai population. However, these models might not be suitable for other populations, especially, in case the suspected stature is over the stature range in our study.

  • 기업의 비즈니스 환경에서 정보보호의 중요성이 높아감에 따라 정보보호와 관련된 표준이나 벤치마크의 필요성도 증대되었다. 이러한 표준에는 ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, PCIDSS, ITIL, COBIT 등이 유명하다. 본 논문에서는 IT 거버넌스의 프레임워크로서 폭 넓은 범위의 정보보호 플랫폼이 될 수 있는 COBIT 4.1과 정보보호를 위한 상세한 최선의 실무(best practice)를 담고 있는 ISO/IEC 27002의 각 정보보호 요소에 대해 간략히 알아보고, 이들을 서로 매핑하여 "높은 수준"의 프레임워크와 "낮은 수준"의 방법론의 통합에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
