  • We reviewed various oil-spill models and condensed the integrated information into a prediction model, “Green Sea Ranger”which is applicable to Korean coastal area. The developed software consists of pre- and post-modules for environment setup and display of results and main module for the prediction of oil\`s fate. In the pre-module target areas can be selected from the included geographic information system and various environmental and optional numerical data for the prediction can be input through easy GUI or imported from the database we established. For the fate of the spilt oil we included effects of spreading, advection, evaporation, and emulsification. Preliminary numerical experiment has proved that the developed oil-spill prediction system can be easily utilized in on-site oil recovery operations which usually require a quick and reasonable prediction.

  • Among the approaches to the production of "green" energy, geothermal power systems are becoming quite popular in Europe. Their installation in existing buildings requires an extended, external pipes appendix and its laying operation needs a drilling activities nearby structural skeletons often designed to support static loads only, especially when ancient buildings are targeted. This contribution reports and discusses the experimental results achieved within a specific case study within the European project GEOFIT. In particular, standard accelerometric measurements in and nearby a single-story reinforced concrete building are collected and analysed in the absence of drilling (pre-drilling) and during drilling activities (drilling phase) to monitor the structure response to the external source of vibrations related to the excavations phase. The target is to outline automatic guidelines toward installations preventing from any sort of structural damage.

  • With the increases in oil and gas prices, and energy consumption, drillship construction has increased during the last decade. A drillship using a dynamic positioning (DP) system to maintain its position and heading angle during drilling operations. In addition, a drillship is equipped with a moonpool structure to allow its drilling systems to be operated in the midship section. A drillship for the North Sea is specially designed to endure harsh environmental loads. For safe operation in the North Sea, the drillship should have good motion response and robust hull strength. A break water should be considered on the bow and side deck to prevent the green water on deck phenomenon from incoming waves. In addition, the moonpool should be designed to reduce the speed loss and resonance motion. In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics of a drillship for the North Sea were examined in relation to the motion, wave loads, green water, and moonpool resonance in the initial design stage.

  • The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between firm's green marketing approach and firm's reputation improvement among customers. To investigate the object of the current study and provides adequate material to fill a gap in the literature, the current author collected abundant textual data from numerous extant literature. Because the author needed to augment about reliability and validity, textual data from trusted peer-reviewed sources was obtained from numerous databases. Based on a large body of literature, this study suggests that companies have to declare their stand based on their positioning to safeguard their reputation as an entity and that of its products and services. The five components of a company adopting a recognized environmental marketing strategy include product strategy, demand strategy, pricing strategy, distribution strategy, and labeling strategy Thus, firms' environmental marketing strategies have to be designed with the complete intent of transformation as a solution to enhance their reputation. The current study concludes that the comparison of environmental marketing strategies does not correctly help in ranking the concern in an effective way, and describe the exact details needed in each of the five categories for a company to carry its operations in a sustainable fashion.

  • Let $a{\oplus}b$ = max(a, b), $a{\otimes}b$=a+b, a, $b\in\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}\;:=\cup\{-\infty\}$. In max-plus algebra we work on the linear algebra structure for the pair of operations (${\oplus},{\otimes}$) extended to matrices and vectors over $\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}$. In this paper our main aim is to reproduce the work of R. A. Cuninghame-Green [3] on the linear systems over a max-plus semi-field $\mathbb{R}_{\varepsilon}$.

  • Viral safety is a prerequisite for manufacturing clinical albumin and immunoglobulins from human plasma pools. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of cold ethanol fractionation and pasteurization (60$\^{C}$ heat treatment for 10h) for the removal/inactivation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) during the manufacturing of albumin and immunoglobulins. Samples from the relevant stages of the production process were spiked with HIV-1, and the amount of virus in each fraction was quantified by the 50% tissue culture infectious dose(TCID(sub)50). Both fraction IV fractionation and pasteurization steps during albumin processing were robust and effective in inactivating HIV-1, titers of which were reduced from an initial 8.5 log(sub)10 TCID(sub)50 to undetectable levels. The log reduction factors achieved were $\geq$ 4.5 and $\geq$ 6.5, respectively. In addition, fraction III fractionation and pasteurization during immunoglobulins processing were robust and effective in eliminating HIV-1. HIV-1 titers were reduced from an initial 7.3 log(sub)10 TCID(sub)50 to undetectable levels. The log reduction factors achieved in this case were $\geq$ 4.9 and $\geq$ 5.3, respectively. These results indicate that the process investigated for the production of albumin and immunoglobulins have sufficient HIV-1 reducing capacity to achieve a high margin of safety.

  • 최근 비약적인 휴대폰의 다기능 세대의 발전에 따라 단말은 보다 많은 기능을 제공하고, 사용자도 점점 증가되는 추세이다. 하지만 이는 최근 대두되는 정보 통신 분야의 Green IT측면에서 휴대폰의 세대 발전을 따져본다면 반색 할 만한 일은 아니다. 휴대폰의 세대가 발전함에 따라 이산화탄소의 배출 감소율이 줄어들며, 현재 거의 포화상태에 도달해 있기 때문이다. 이는 기지국 등의 인프라뿐 아니라 단말기 자체에서 운영 중 전력 소모를 하면서 약 18%의 이산화탄소가 배출되기 때문에 단말기 자체의 전력 소모를 줄이는 일이 Green IT의 화두가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단말기와 기지국 사이의 페이징 과정 중 사용자의 개별적 특성을 고려한 슬롯 인덱스(slot index)의 조절을 통해 단말기 운영 중의 전력 소모를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 사용자의 특성은 통화시간대와 통화량에 따라 분류하여 이들에게 각기 다른 슬롯 인덱스를 적용시켜 페이징 시의 전력 소모를 관찰하였다. 이는 평균 80%정도의 소비 전력을 줄일 수 있었으나, 슬롯 인덱스 값이 증가 될수록 통화 품질과 관련된 응답 시간(time response)값이 증가되어 저하된 통화 품질을 얻는 Trade Off가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 개인별 특성에 따른 페이징 조절에 대한 분석과 함께 Trade Off 해결안으로써 기지국 페이징채널 Power ramping방안을 제안하고 그 영향을 분석하고자 한다.

  • 본 연구는 폐쇄루프 공급망을 최적화하기 위한 녹색 폐쇄루프 공급망 네트워크(GCSN)를 제안한다. GCSN은 물류 유통과정에 투입되는 익스프레스 박스의 재활용에 중점을 두고 연구하였다. 이를 통해 물류공급망 작업의 표준화와 전자상거래 업체의 증가에 따른 익스프레스 박스의 사용의 가속화와 전자상거래 업계의 익스프레스 상자의 재활용을 통한 자원 낭비를 최소화하는 녹색공급망을 추진한다. GCSN은 유통흐름과 자원의 투입요소는 수학식으로 표현하며 LINGO를 사용하여 구현된다. 녹생 즉, 환경 보호의 관점에서 전자상거래 산업의 지속가능한 발전을 견인하는 유통의 과정이다. 또한 자원 부족에 따른 원자재 가격 상승에 대응하고 전자상거래 업체들의 친환경적으로 익스프레스 상자를 투입하는 전략의 필요성을 부각시켰다. 이와 같은 이유로 본 연구는 전자상거래 업체에서 사용하는 재활용이 가능한 익스프레스상자를 연구대상으로 하며, 공급망 네트워크에서 시설 위치와 할당문제도 통합적으로 고찰한다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 결론과 시사점을 도출하였다.

  • Purpose: In Korea, buildings make up 20.5% (2012) of the gross national energy consumption, so they are a major target for greenhouse gas reduction. In particular, energy consumption in multihousing represents approximately 32.6% of the entire building sector. With improving energy performance being the focus, efforts are continuously being made to reinforce standards and systems in greenhouse gas reduction. This study investigated the current status of multihousing in Korea in terms of energy performance as described in the performance evaluation reports submitted (to an institution that specializes in reviewing the performance evaluation of green homes) based on the construction criteria and performance codes for green homes and examined if the evaluation criteria using related methodologies were appropriate. The results will provide helpful information for reviewing the future directions of operations and amendments to the systems. Method: The overall characteristics of the system were examined using the evaluation methodologies (and current state of revisions) of the performance codes for green homes and comparing them with similar systems. Also, the current state of application and energy performance (conducted according to the evaluation methodologies) were compared by the evaluation institution for multihousing neighborhoods that were assessed for five years from 2010 to 2014. Result: It has been confirmed that the performance codes for green homes are different from other similar systems in evaluating performances of multihousing in that they allow both quantitative and qualitative methods of evaluation, and they consider both energy and sustainability simultaneously in the evaluation. Furthermore, regarding the adoption rate of the forms for the two evaluation methods (Form 1 - quantitative and Form 2 - qualitative), the rate preferring Form 2 increased gradually in time to reach 55.3% in 2014. In analyzing the rate of overall energy reduction (submitted in Form 1) and the coefficient of thermal transmission for each part (submitted in Form 2), it was observed that the deviation between the performance submitted and the criteria decreased in line with the level of reinforcement.

  • 본 연구의 주요 목적은 기존 공급망관리에 그린을 강화한 그린 SCM(GSCM)의 주요 활동들이 기업의 재무적 성과와 기업경쟁력에 미치는 영향력을 실증적으로 분석하는 것이다. 먼저 기업 공급망의 다양한 친환경 활동들을 요인분석에 투입한 결과 녹색구매, 녹색생산, 녹색물류, 역물류 등 4개 주요 활동요인으로 각각 분류되었다. 그리고 이들 요인들이 시장성과에 미치는 영향력을 분석하기 위해 8개의 연구가설을 설정한 후 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 GSCM 활동과 재무적 성과 간의 인과관계를 검증한 결과, 녹색구매와 녹색생산이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타남으로써 연구가설을 지지한다. 반면, 녹색물류와 역물류는 유의수준이 낮아 재무적 성과에 어떠한 영향도 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 비용 절감과 증가 효과가 같이 나타남으로써 통계과정에서 변수의 영향력이 복합적으로 작용했기 때문일 수도 있다. 한편 GSCM 활동과 기업경쟁력 간의 인과관계를 검증한 결과, 녹색물류를 제외한 녹색구매, 녹색생산, 역물류가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타남으로써 선행연구와 같이 GSCM 활동이 전반적으로 제품품질, 생산능력, 기업이미지, 고객만족도 등과 같은 기업경쟁력 향상에 긍정적 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 해외시장 의존도가 높은 국내 기업들이 친환경성을 요구하는 고객니즈에 효과적으로 대응하면서 지속성장하기 위해서는 녹색물류 등을 포함한 친환경 혁신활동들을 하나의 시스템으로 통합한 GSCM을 전략적으로 구축할 필요가 있다.
