Objective : The purpose of this study is to examine the treatment of allergic rhinitis introduced in the Chinese guideline, and to find out the direction of evidence-establishment and applicability in developing Korean Medicine clinical practice guideline for allergic rhinitis. Method : We studied Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment of allergic rhinitis introduced in the 2018 Chinese society of allergy guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis. The treatment are classified into three categories; herbal medicines, acupuncture and the others. And we compared this guidelines with other guidelines for how they differ in description of the database, evidence of level, and strength of recommendation. Results : Herbal medicines are presented based on syndrome differentiation. The basic acupoints for allergic rhinitis are introduced as follows; Fengchi(GB20), Yingxiang(LI20), Feishu(BL13) and Taiyuan(LU9). And in comparison with other guidelines for allergic rhinitis, the Chinese guideline showed lack of description in the database, evidence of level, and strength of recommendation, though they used evidence-based models. Conclusions : Clinical practice guideline projects are also underway in Korea for benefit expansion and improving quality of medical services. It is important to develop guidelines which should be evidence-based and reflect Korean medical environment.

In this study, silicon / carbon nanotube / carbon composite particles with high capacity were fabricated by using micro-sized silicon particles and carbon nanotubes as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The silicon / carbon nanotube / carbon composite particles were prepared by spray drying method to prepare spherical composite particles. The composite particles have the network structure of the carbon nanotubes around the silicon particles, in which the silicon particles and the carbon nanotubes are bonded by amorphous carbon. It appears that the volume expansion of silicon is effectively buffered and the electrical contact is maintained in the network structure of the composite particles during charge-discharge cycles.

Trypoxylus dichotomus is highly utilized in the domestic insect industry and bred at many farms nationwide. Recently, the number of farmers has been increasing due to the expansion of its use in food and medicine. However, the traditional breeding methods have high economic costs, which include relatively large breeding boxes, large amounts of sawdust and a 2 to 1 ratio (or higher) of female to male. Thus, it is essential to develop a cost-effective breeding method. In this study, a breeding cage with a partition was designed and used to investigate the reproduction rate of T. dichotomus with only a single pair of male and female insect. According to the investigation, the average number of eggs laid in the un-partitioned breeding cage was 93.6, and 121.3 eggs were laid in the partitioned breeding cage. This result shows that T. dichotomus lays more eggs in the partitioned breeding cage rather than in the un-partitioned breeding cage. In addition, it was found that T. dichotomus tends to lay more eggs in compressed sawdust, which was harder than the common fermented sawdust. Through a wind-tunnel assay, it was shown that the ovipositing female recognizes the eggs and avoids them to disperse their eggs elsewhere. These results indicate that the partitioned breeding cage may increase the hardness of the sawdust, restrict the adult's movement and provide a new place for oviposition for the female, and therefore results in an increased reproduction rate with less cost.

This study categorized the developments of advanced online education in Korea, which have achieved rapid growth for past 20 years, and analyzed the characteristics of each stage. Starting from the introduction stage, which focused on video content and basic LMS, it went through a growth stage in which the transition from lifelong to advanced education institute, and the first online graduate program accreditation were achieved. In the maturity stage, the expansion of online graduate programs led to the spread of online real-time classes and seminars, and the introduction and proliferation of smart-phone also paved the way for smart learning. However, as the non-face-to-face teaching method was suddenly implemented as a whole due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has rapidly developed and also faced various problems to improve the quality of education. By analyzing and reviewing the trend, this study discussed the problems facing the current revolutionary period and what needs to be solved for future development.

The purpose of this study was to find out the characteristics of housing policies and apartment designs by comparison of supplying and remodeling apartments between France and Korea. The literature review was used in Korea cases and the literature review, site investigation, and expert interviews were used in France cases. At first, by reviewing the related literatures about the apartment developments and regenerations in France and Korea, twelve remodeling cases were represented respectively in Ile de France and Seoul. As a result, in housing policy, the Korean housing market had a shortage of low-priced houses related to biased apartment developments by private sector dependence. Consequently, the living in Korea generally required the high price in low quality houses. But in France, the housing policies were very successful in housing quantity, quality, and expense. It is involved in balances between the public housing supply and the activation of a private housing market based on the government support policy. Nevertheless, in the success of the apartment as a house type, apartments in France means the social elimination because of the supply method problems and the management failures of HLM institutions. However, in Korea, the apartment implies the successful life of the middle class population because of the competitive evolutions during 40 years as a market housing. Secondly, In the characteristics of remodeling, the remodeling in Korea was for property value improvements. It mainly executed to expand the size of a house by expansion of living space. However the remodeling in France was for social mixes and connections with the surrounding area. It mostly performed by various design methods such as vertical merging houses, partial removal, reconstruction, and construction of a local community centers and mixed-use residential buildings. This study shows the simultaneously remodeling features of those two countries. These findings can be used in developing effective strategies for the public housing regenerations in Korea and other countries.

Green roof in Korea has been recognized as part of landscape area and local governments enacted municipal ordinance for supporting green roof thereby assisting part of expenses spent for green roof within a range of budget for buildings which are eligible for the green roof support of existing buildings. However, it is necessary to enforce a regulation of mandatory green roof for new buildings in order to expand green roof application and provide a variety of assistances such as subsidy payment, tax relief, and mitigation of floor area ratio-related regulation as done in other advanced nations. In particular, LEED(Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) in the USA applies additional point directly for green roof in terms of the reduction in heat island effects. For example, the following items are beneficial to have additional points: habitat preservation or restoration, external space, rainwater management, reduction in outdoor water usage, minimum energy performance, and optimum energy performance. In addition, the BREEAM(Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) in the UK specifies green roof as one of assessment items to be complied in terms of diversity of species. As such, LEED and BREEAM reflect direct and indirect effects of green roof on assessment criteria, which suggest a direction to green building certification criteria in Korea where only additional points are given for green roof according to soil depth.

This study, which evaluated the contribution of the real economic value and system in the Nakdong River Basin, estimated the emergy analysis for environmental accounting of the TMDL program. And an environmental accounting for TMDL is evaluated before and after adopting TMDL program respectively. The value of emergy after adopting the TMDL was 7.90 E+20 sej/yr. Although the real yield of the river after governmental investment was high (before: 9.7118 E+20 sej/yr and after: 9.7224 E+20 sej/yr), the effects of improvement was not great, in terms of an investment cost. The benefit/cost ratio resulted from environmental accounting has decreased from 1.493 to 1.230 due to the cost of managing treatment facilities. The method of improving water quality in the Nakdong River Basin by the TMDL program should be changed into an ecological treatment facilities using resources efficiently from a control of water quality depending on expansion of the wastewater treatment facilities and advanced treatment plant using high cost and non-renewable energies.

Fingerprint sensor interoperability refers to the ability of a system to compensate for the variability introduced in the finger data of individual due to the deployment of different sensors. The purpose of this paper is the development of a compensation algorithm by which the interoperability of fingerprint recognition can be improved among various different fingerprint sensors. In this paper we show that a simple transformation derived to form a Taylor series expansion can be used in conjunction with a set of corresponding minutia points to improve the correspondence of finer fingerprint details within a fingerprint image. This is demonstrated by an applying the transformation to a database of fingerprint images and examining the minutiae match scores with and without the transformation. The EER of the proposed method was improved by average 60.94% better than before compensation.
