  • Using forest resources involves solving complex and diverse tasks. At the same time, one of the key goals in the field is improving the quality of forest infrastructure. This direction requires adequate mathematical and economic justification. Moreover, creating an effective infrastructure will not only increase the accessibility and usage volumes of wood and other forest resources, but also contribute to the development of continuous and sustainable forest management. The existing practice of making decisions in terms of the organizational and technological aspects of logging, based on the personal experiences of managers or leading specialists in enterprises, hinders the achievement of constant optimal efficiency. The paper presents results that are a continuation of the research cycle of the authors' team in the fields of optimization and algorithmization of various logging processes. The focus of the study lies in the processing and movement of wood resources, the most valuable products of the investigated groups of enterprises. To this end, the paper presents a developed algorithm for determining an effective technological chain of transportation in logging operations, and for improving loading and unloading processing operations under dynamic natural and production conditions. This algorithm serves as the methodological basis for designing logging infrastructure in a dynamically changing environment.

  • Fuel consumption in fisheries is a primary concern due to environmental effects and costs to fishermen. Much research has been carried out to reduce the fuel consumption related to fishing operations. The fuel consumption of fishing gear during fishing operation is generally related to hydrodynamic resistance on the gear. This research demonstrates a new approach using numerical methods to reduce fuel consumption. The results from the simulation were verified with results that mirrored the model experiments. By designing the fishing gear using drawing software, the whole and partial resistance force on the gear can be calculated as a result of simulations. The simulation results will suggest suitable materials or gear structure for reducing the hydrodynamic forces on the gear while maintaining the performance of the gear. Furthermore, the efficiency of low energy used trawl as economic point of view will be dealt. This research will helpful to reduce the GHG emissions from fishing operations and lead to reduce fishing costs due to fuel savings.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop the self-diagnosis methodology based on process for improving the effectiveness in public institutions service and to suggest it. For this goal, we would like to select the management methodology which can be easily handled from the viewpoint of working personnel in the public institutions and make it as a process. First, the strategy for the public institutions and the strategic task for practicing it are acquired using BSC (Balanced Score Card) which is now under the active research. At this time, the relative degree of significance is derived using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) which is conducted for the professionals and management to get the degree of importance in the strategic tasks. The acquired relative degree of significance and the figures related to the performance of each strategic task derived from the subsequent questionnaire are used to get the final highly efficient strategic task through IPA (Importance Performance Analysis). In this study, this process based self diagnosis methodology will be explained in detail using the case of Project A in order to verify the effectiveness of the management science technique on the self diagnosis of the public institutions.

  • Government-funded research institutes (GRIs) have played a pivotal role in national R&D in Korea. To achieve desired goals of GRIs with the limited R&D budget, their performance along with time needs to be measured and compared so that appropriate R&D policies can be formulated and implemented. This study measures the dynamic performance of GRIs from the efficiency perspective using the window model of data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric approach to measuring the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs, and the DEA window model can capture the dynamic changes in efficiency of DMUs during multiple periods. The relative efficiency of GRIs is measured from the two perspectives: R&D and R&BD. Patents, papers, technology transfers are selected as outputs for R&D while compensated technology transfers and technology royalty are employed as outputs for R&BD. This study measures and compares the two types of performance of 20 Korean GRIs under the control of National Research Council of Science and Technology during the period of six years from 2008 to 2013. The results are expected to provide fruitful implications for national R&D policy making.

  • This paper deals with an investment scheduling problem of maximizing net present value of dividend with reinvestment allowed, where each investment has certain capital requirement and generates deterministic profit. Such deterministic profit is calculated at completion of each investment and then allocated into two parts, including dividend and reinvestment, at each predetermined reinvestment time point. The objective is to make optimal scheduling of investments over a fixed planning horizon which maximizes total sum of the net present values of dividends subject to investment precedence relations and capital limit but with reinvestment allowed. In the analysis, the scheduling problem is transformed to a kind of parallel machine scheduling problem and formulated as an integer programming which is proven to be NP-complete. Thereupon, a depth-first branch-and-bound algorithm is derived. To test the effectiveness and efficiency of the derived algorithm, computational experiments are performed with some numerical instances. The experimental results show that the algorithm solves the problem relatively faster than the commercial software package (CPLEX 8.1), and optimally solves the instances with up to 30 investments within a reasonable time limit.

  • NAND flash memory has unique characteristics like as 'out-place-update' and limited lifetime compared with traditional storage systems. According to out-of-place update scheme, a number of invalid (or called dead) pages can be generated. In this case, garbage collection is needed to reclaim invalid pages. Because garbage collection results in not only erase operations but also copy operations of valid (or called live) pages to other blocks, many garbage collection techniques have proposed to reduce the overhead and to increase the lifetime of NAND Flash systems. This techniques sometimes select victim blocks including cold data for the wear leveling. However, most of them overlook the cost of selecting victim blocks including cold data. In this paper, we propose a garbage collection technique named CAPi (Cost Age with Proportion of invalid pages). Considering the additional overhead of what to select victim blocks including cold data, CAPi improves the response time in garbage collection and increase the lifetime in memory systems. Additionally, the proposed scheme also improves the efficiency of garbage collection by separating cold data from hot data in valid pages. In experimental evaluation, we showed that CAPi yields up to, at maximum, 73% improvement in lifetime compared with existing garbage collections.
