Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is often employed to quantify the environmental impact of a product in a comprehensive manner. The aspects of performance and usability as well as that of eco-friendliness should be considered in an integrated manner for the market competitiveness of an eco-friendly product. The present study developed a product improvement plan for an eco-friendly electric heater by benchmarking two small-size electric heaters (companies 'H' and 'T') in terms of performance, usability, and eco-friendliness. The performance measurements such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, noise, and power consumption were collected while the two heaters were operated in a laboratory setting. Then, the usability evaluations such as aesthetics, operation satisfaction, performance satisfaction, and overall satisfaction were surveyed for the two heaters using a 5-point scale (1 for very unsatisfied and 5 for very satisfied). Lastly, the LCA analysis was conducted by following the six-step process of eco-friendly product design provided by KEITI. The analysis results of the two products being integrated with the aspects of product, service, and user, four design improvement directions such as eco-efficient, smart, modularized, and user-support were recommended for an eco-friendly electric heater. These proposed concepts would be useful to develop an eco-friendly electric heater design with a high level of market competitiveness.

환경오염이라는 인류의 총체적 위기는 인간 중심적 패러다임을 인간과 자연의 공존을 목표로 하는 생태학적 패러다임으로 변화시켰고, 이에 따라 디자이너 역시 인류의 과제인 환경문제 해결에 동참하지 않을 수 없게 되었다. 이러한 사회적 책임과 디자이너 자신의 윤리적 책임은 디자인 방향을 환경을 위한 디자인(Design For Environment)으로 전환하게 하였다. 본 연구는 디자인을 통한 환경 문제 해결이라는 측면에서 그 하나의 실마리를 제공하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 즉, 제품의 조형에서 내구적 속성을 파악하여 이를 제품에 부가함으로써, 경제적 손실과 환경오염을 줄이는데 기여할 수 있을 것이라는 것이다. 제품의 형태를 결정짓는 디자이너의 입장에서 제품 조형의 내구적 속성을 파악하여 이를 제품에 부여한다는 것은 제품의 수명(Product Life Cycle)을 연장시키는 데 도움을 줌으로써, 제품의 폐기를 유보시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 제품이 제 수명을 다하기도 전에 새로운 형태의 제품에 밀려 폐기되는 일을 감소시켜 과잉 생산에서 오는 에너지 낭비와 자원의 소모를 막고, 오염물질의 방출과 쓰레기를 줄여 환경오염을 최소화시킬 수 있는 것이다. 이것은 기본적으로 기업의 과도한 경쟁 의식에 의한 무분별한 제품개발과 소비자의 소비 지향적인 태도에 반발하는 것이다. 이 가정 위에서 제품 조형의 내구적 속성을 밝히는 것이 이 논문의 궁극적 목표라 하겠다.

본 연구는 부산시의 주택순환과정을 살펴보기 위해 가구의 생애주기에 따른 주거이동 특성을 분석하였는데, 설문조사는 부산시 거주 만 40세 이상의 성인들을 대상으로 결혼 이후 현재까지의 주거이동에 대한 주거경력을 조사하였다. 통계자료 분석의 결과와 설문조사 결과는 모든 항목에서 유사한 결과를 보였는데 이를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 설문대상자들이 현재 거주하고 있는 주택을 살펴보면, 주택유형은 아파트가 절대적으로 높은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 주택의 점유형태는 자가소유이며, 주택규모는 30평형대, 거주기간은 6년 이상 10년 미만이다. 주택자금마련 방법은 저축과 은행대출이 대다수를 차지하고 있는데, 현재 가구의 소득만으로는 자가소유의 희망주택을 마련하는 것이 불가능함에도 불구하고 주택금융을 활용하여 내집마련을 하는 주거문화는 임대료를 지불하고 임차소유를 하는 외국과는 다소 다른 우리의 주거문화이다. 그러나 주거만족도의 측면에서 주거이동은 주택규모를 확장시키고 점유형태를 변화시켰기 때문에 주거이동으로 인해 대부분의 가구가 주거의 질이 향상되었다고 인식하고 있으며, 현재의 주거에 대해 매우 높은 만족감을 보인다.

항 진균제의 인체에 대한 부작용을 완화시키는 방법은 부작용이 적은 새로운 항 진균제 개발이나 기존 항 진균제와 혼용하여 상승효과를 나타내는 물질이 필요하다. 이를 위해 Rahnella aquatilis AY2000가 생산하는 항 효모물질은 일종의 단백질성 고분자 물질이란 점에서 기존 항 진균제와 차이가 있다. 이 항 효모물질은 유도기나 대수증식 기에 있는 효모 생육을 억제시켰으며, cell cycle 분석에서 sub-G1기에 속하는 세포수의 증가 없이 세포를 arrest시켰다. 따라서 항 효모물질은 Candida albicans에 정균작용을 나타내었다. 또한 in vitro 실험에서 이 항 효모물질과 itraconazole이나 fluconazole을 병용한 후 fractional inhibitory concentration index 분석을 행한 결과 항 효모활성이 더욱 상승되었다. 결론적으로 이 항 효모물질은 정균 작용을 가질 뿐만 아니라 azole계의 항 진균제와 혼용하면 상승효과를 가짐으로 부작용이 적은 새로운 개념의 항 진균제로 개발할 가치가 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

Zero to tension fatigue tests and strain controlled fatigue tests were carried out to find how initial strain induced martensite, ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ affects low and high cycle fatigue behavior and fatigue crack growth mechanisms. Microscopic study and phase analysis were carried out with TEM, SEM, EDAX, Optical Microscope, Ferriscope, and X-ray diffractometry. The amount of Initial ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ was controlled from 0% to 33% by controlling the temperatures for cold working and heat treatment. Lower contents of initial ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ showed higher fatigue resistance in low cycle fatigue but lower fatigue resistance in high cycle fatigue because it is ascribed to the more transformation of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ martensite during low cycle fatigue and higher ductility. In high cycle fatigue, fatigue life is attributed to the strength and phase transformation of austenite into ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ during fatigue was negligible. ${\gamma}$ boundary, ${\gamma}/twin$ boundary, and ${\gamma}/{\alpha}^{\prime}$ boundary were found to be the preferred site of fatigue crack initiation.

Competitiveness of service industry in Korea is relatively lower than OECD countries'. Korean government, therefore, has been trying to improve the competitiveness of service industry by accelerating information technology (IT) adoption. Even though most of factors of IT can be contributed to improve the financial performance, it may be affected differently among various industry types and life cycles of companies. Therefore, it is one of very important research issues to analyze the influential effect of IT considering industry types and organizational life cycles in service industries. The purpose of this study is to find out critical success factors of IT which influence financial performance considering different types and life cycles of service industries. We developed the model and identified key success factors of IT adoption as IT system quality, Information quality, IT maintenance, CEO support, IT education of organization, and IT competence of user. Additional analysis of moderating effect by organizational life-cycle and types of service industry are conducted. For data sampling 856 companies are participated and total 2,000 questionnaires are collected. Structural equation modeling method is conducted for statistical analysis. The results show that the model is valid and most of success factors of it are very useful for improving financial performance of service industries except organizational IT education. Moderating effect of industry types and organizational life cycles is valid but partially accepted. The results might be able to provide useful directions and guide lines of IT acceleration in service industries.

In this study, basic strategies for the decommissioning and site remediation of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) were investigated. Six scenarios were formulated based on two of the three decommissioning strategies of nuclear power plants defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): immediate dismantling and deferred dismantling. A multicriteria decision analysis was performed to analyze the preferences of the options from the viewpoints of the timeframe to complete decommissioning, the resulting waste, the site usability, and the availability of the radioactive waste disposal route. The same six scenarios were applied to both the FDNPS and the nuclear power plants that ceased operation after a normal plant life cycle for comparison. For the FDNPS, the decommissioning project involved fuel debris retrieval, dismantling, and site remediation. The analysis results suggest that the balance between the amount of waste and the time to achieve the end state may be one of the most critical factors to consider when planning the decommissioning and site remediation of the FDNPS.

Purpose: To evaluate the economic performance of grid-connected photovoltaic system in residential house, household electricity bill policy of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) must be applied precisely, and market tendency and uncertainty of system also need to be considered. In this study, to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV system, we measured PV power generation and electricity consumption of six of Green home in Daejeon through web based remote monitoring system. Method: We applied Monte-Carlo simulation based on life cycle cost analysis, to reflect an uncertainty of main factor in economic feasibility evaluation of photovoltaic system. Result: First, with deterministic analysis, the difference of NPV of cumulative financial savings among households varied from -3,310 ~ 24,170 thousand won, portraying notably big range. Also the possibility of getting the same result was 50% when applying uncertainty. Second, the higher electricity consumption is, the more economic feasibility of photovoltaic system increases because KEPCO uses progressive taxation in household electricity bill policy. Third, The contribution to variance of electricity price increases in NPV varied from 98.5% to 99.9%. While the inflation rate and annual degradation contributed very little to none.

The negative fishery factors from an environmental perspective are greenhouse gas emissions due to high fossil fuel use, destruction of underwater ecosystems by bottom trawls, a reduction in resources by fishing, and damage to ecosystem diversity. In particular, the greenhouse gas emissions from fisheries is an important issue based on the Cancun meeting in Mexico in 1992 and the Kyoto protocol in 2005. However, no investigations on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries have been conducted. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of GHG emissions from the Korean fishery industry is needed as a first step to identify a method to reduce GHG emissions from fisheries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of GHG emitted from fisheries. Here, we calculated the GHG emissions from four main Korean fisheries(i.e., large trawls, large purse seines, Danish seines, and bottom pair trawls) using the life cycle assessment(LCA) method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level were defined for LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficient of each fishery was also calculated. The GHG emissions from edible seafood were calculated considering different consuming areas. The results will be helpful to understand GHG emissions from Korean fisheries.
