This study aims to analyse the regional disparity of the youth employment and to regional current states and characteristics via evaluation criteria for employment competitiveness. Summaries of the major results in this study are as following. Firstly, it has revealed that the regional disparity of youth employment is deepening. Secondly, after the analysis of employment competitiveness, the strongest regional employment competitiveness was found to be Seoul(0.622), followed by Chungnam(0.592), Ulsan(0.528), Gyeongbuk(0.514), Gyeonggi(0.507) and the region of employment risky is Jeonbuk. Lastly, the most influencing factors on the competitiveness of youth employment are supply factors and demand factors. Therefore, we must create new jobs of good quality, in order to reduce regional disparity and strengthen the competitiveness of youth employment. Also region of employment risky should require continuous monitoring. And the government should determine priorities of employment policies that suitable for regional characteristics. That is to say, the government should contribute to establishing the strategy of choice and focus.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between kiln processing parameters and NOx emissions that occur in the sintering and calcination steps of the cement manufacturing process and to derive the main factors responsible for producing emissions outside emission limit criteria, as determined by category models and classification rules, using data mining techniques. The results from this study are expected to be useful as guidelines for NOx emission control standards. Methods: Data were collected from Precalciner Kiln No.3 used in one of the domestic cement plants in Korea. Thirty-four independent variables affecting NOx generation and dependent variables that exceeded or were below the NOx emiision limit (>1 and <0, respectively) were examined during kiln processing. These data were used to construct a detection model of NOx emission, in which emissions exceeded or were below the set limits. The model was validated using SPSS MODELER 18.0, artificial neural network, decision treee (C5.0), and logistic regression analysis data mining techniques. Results: The decision tree (C5.0) algorithm best represented NOx emission behavior and was used to identify 10 processing variables that resulted in NOx emissions outside limit criteria. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the decision tree (C5.0) can be applied for real-time monitoring and management of NOx emissions during the cement firing process to satisfy NOx emission control standards and to provide for a more eco-friendly cement product.

Objectives: Industrial development in Korea results in a rapid increase in the number of chemicals, some of which may be responsible for toxicity to aquatic ecosystems. In addition, the types of hazardous chemicals included in industrial effluents have gradually increased. Therefore, chemical analysis alone is not enough to assess ecological effects of toxic chemicals in wastewater. Methods: In response to new regulations as whole effluent toxicity (WET) tests for effluent discharge of 15 publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and 25 industrial effluent treatment plants in Gyeonggi-do, which will be effective from 2011, a necessity of studies emerges that investigates toxicity levels. Results: In case of the public treatment plants, none of them had exceeded the criteria for ecotoxicity. As for individual wastewater discharge facilities, on the other hand, two types were found to exceed the criteria: pulp and paper manufacturing facilities and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. For the pulp and paper manufacturing facilities, monitoring results could not help determine the exact toxicant identification. However, Daphnia magna inhibition effect or death was found to leave white plums, suggesting that suspended solids treated and the polymer used in coagulant dose. In case of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, the general water quality parameters cannot affect Daphia magna. However, conductivity and salinity can have an effect to be 14,000 ${\mu}s/cm$, 8.1‰ by salts, respectively. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) and Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) procedures results appeared to be effective for identifying toxic compounds in $Cl^{-}$ and $SO_4^{2-}$. Conclusions: It is necessary to develop control measures for water treatment chemicals and salts used for processes such as coagulation in individual wastewater discharge facilities in order to achieve the goal to protect aquatic ecosystems in public waters.

A prototype electronic dosimeter(PED) adopting a silicon PIN diode detector as a radiation detector has been developed, manufactured and test-evaluated. A radiation signal processing circuit has been electronically tested and then the radiation detection characteristics of this PED has been performance-tested by using a reference photon radiation field. As a result in a electronic performance test, radiation signals from a detector were well observed in the signal processing circuit. The radiation detection sensitivity of this PED after several test-irradiations to $^{137}Cs$ gamma radiation source appeared to be 1.85 cps/$Gy{\cdot}h^{-1}$ with 19.3% of the coefficient of variation, which satisfied the performance criteria for the active personnel radiation monitor. Further improvement of the electronic circuit and operating program will enable the PED to be used in personal monitoring purpose.

This paper presents an analysis of the shelf-life management program of the long-term storage one-shot system. The one-shot system is mainly maintained with long-term storage or non-operating status and is operated once at execution of the mission. The function corresponding to one-shot is mainly operated through a shelf-life item such as an explosive. The performance and characteristics of shelf-life item are subject to change as the storage period passes. Therefore, shelf-life management for maintaining good condition is very important during long-term storage, and criteria for management is necessary. We present a method for optimizing shelf-life extension by comparing criteria for management with current reliability. Next, the shelf-life evaluation schedule was decided by utilizing the reliability function of exponential distribution and Weibull distribution. Continuously accumulated test data from the shelf-life evaluation were analyzed, and the parameter of distribution was updated. The extension or expiration of shelf-life was selected by monitoring changes in reliability. In addition, we confirmed the applicability of the presented shelf-life management program by applying ASRP test data of the one-shot system K000 fuse.

Multi-criteria result extraction is crucial in many scientific applications that support real-time stream processing, such as habitat research and disaster monitoring. Skyline evaluation is computational intensive especially over continuous time-interval data streams where each object has its own customized expiration time. In this work, we propose TI-Sky - a continuous skyline evaluation framework. To ensure correctness, the result space needs to be continuously maintained as new objects arrive and older objects expire. TI-Sky strikes a perfect balance between the costs of continuously maintaining the result space and the costs of computing the final skyline result from this space whenever a pull-based user query is received. Our key principle is to incrementally maintain a partially precomputed skyline result space - however doing so efficiently by working at a higher level of abstraction. TI-Sky's algorithms for insertion, deletion, purging and result retrieval exploit both layers of granularity. Our experimental study demonstrates the superiority of TI-Sky over existing techniques to handle a wide variety of data sets.

The question acutely raised regarding Korea's entrance test is not just a matter of yesterday or today. It is not an exception to cartoon related fields, which lack of creativity and patterning trend, problems according to the types of autonomous performance tests for each school, problem of evaluation are being pointed out. As such alternative, methods such as expansion of time for performance test, introduction of extra performance test for evaluating creativity, and public sector exclusively taking in charge of creativity evaluation, and etc. will be made as the subject of discussion. Therefore, the most important assumption is to establish what Universities are intending to teach to students first, and to teach such thing, the questions of their entrance tests should contain relevant criteria so that students with relevant abilities would be selected. Even after entering school, constant monitoring would be necessary, and if it shows different results as expected, the criteria should be reviewed again. As such, the reason for Universities requiring much things is because the Universities are, the subject of student selection, the subject which requires certain abilities to students, and the subject of evaluation. Therefore, it is because a University can achieve its original purpose only when good talented students are obtained through such process of selection and are developed through education.

Duration curves describe the percentage of time that a certain water quality (total/fecal coliform (=TC/FC)) or discharge is exceeded. The curves methodology are usually based on daily records and are useful in estimating how many days per year and event will be exceeded. The technique was further applied to estimated TC/FC loading to the Geumho River, using the daily mean flow rate and TC/FC concentration data during January, 2001 and December, 2011 for the Geumhogang6 (=Seongseo water level station) where an automated monitoring station is located in Gangchang-bridge. Low flow of the Seongseo (=11.1 cms) was equivalent to 75.3% on an exceedance probability scale. Load Duration curve for TC/FC loading at the Seongseo was constructed. Standard load duration curve was constructed with the water quality criteria for class III (TC/FC concentration = 5000/1000 CFU/ 100 mL). By plotting TC/FC observed load duration curve with standard load duration curve, it could be revealed that water quality do not meet the desired water quality for 68.8/11.2% on an exceedance probability scale. IF linear correlation between flow rate and coliform concentration is assumed, it can be interpreted that water quality exceed desired criteria when daily average flow rate is over 11.9/109.9 cms.
