With current. difficulties in Korean agricultural sector, the biotecilnoiogy is considered as the most important factor to offset the inferiority in the agriculture. New products by using the biotechnology would be commercialized and consumed by both producers and consumers. Before its production and distribution researches on new product should be undertaken in many aspects, especially in terms of economic aspects. Main objectives of this study are to measure the economic value of the new product using the agro-biotechnology, here potato microtubers, and to examine whether the stated preferences theory, the Contingent Valuation Method(CVM), could be accepted in the economic analysis for the new biotech product. Through the demand function derived from the consequences of functional relationship, the consumer's surplus was estimated.

In current animal production in Japan, a large surplus of nitrogen and phosphorus is given to animals as their feed which are mostly imported from outside of our own country. Today, an excess of nitrogen and phosphorus from animal manure has been spread out of the area of animal production and the surroundings. These components have become the major reason for eutrophication of ground, surface and inland water. Nutritional studies for the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus from animal waste has been done by many researchers. The reduction of excess protein in animal feed and the supplementation of deficient essential amino acids to feed have a possibility to increase the biological value of feed and to reduce nitrogen excretion, especially, via urine. The use of phytase activity to degrade phytate and to release utilizable inorganic phosphorus make it possible to cut an excess supply of feed additive inorganic phosphorus and to reduce phosphorus excretion from animal waste.

A real-time, Indoor navigation systems utilize ultra-wide band (UWB), radio-frequency identification (RFID) and received signal strength (RSS) techniques that encompass WiFi, FM, mobile communications, and other similar technologies. These systems typically require surplus infrastructure for their implementation, which results in significantly increased costs and complexity. Therefore, as a solution to reduce the level of cost and complexity, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and quick response (QR) codes are utilized in this paper to facilitate navigation with the assistance of a smartphone. The QR code helps to compensate for errors caused by the pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) algorithm, thereby providing more accurate localization. The proposed algorithm having IMU in conjunction with QR code shows an accuracy of 0.64 m which is higher than existing indoor navigation techniques.

There has been an enormous increasing trend of widening gap of social inequalities since economic crisis at the end of 1997 in Korea. Since then, Korean society has deteriorated in economic and social conditions; the unemployment rate, temporary or casual workers and absolute poverty have increased. This paper presents the origin of inequalities in work and health in Korea. The origin of inequalities in work begins with the relationship between the capitalist and labourers in the capitalist mode of production. The conception and execution are dissolved in the work process in the capitalist mode of production. Thus, captitalists become control over ther labour process from workers. An alienation of the work process from the workers. The distribution of work is the majour source if inequalities in many countries as well as Korea. This paper presents the increasing tendency of unhealthy states such as mortality, early death, morbidity, physical work load, workplace injury amongst the under-privileged: ordinary workers, unemployed people, casual workers and socially deprived people in Korea.

The methods of the transportation plan evaluation have appearently been improved. Yet we are frequently confronted with many problems when we are trying to apply those various methods in practice. This paper aims at reviewing the major problems in the transportation plan evaluation and considering the way to resolve such kinds of problem. The selection of the evaluation criteria and the weighting systems between such criteria are the moat important things in the multi-criteria approaches. In this respect, this paper suggests some alternative evaluation criteria in consideration of the levels and the purpose of the plan. Also the increased capacities and new demands of generated trip are the main effects of the transportation investment. Nevertheless such significant effects have been neglected in the calculation of benefits due to the transportation investment in the past. Therefore this paper suggests that the surplus capacities and new demands of generated trip according to the alternative investment plans should be included in the calculation of benefits for the plan evaluation.

L- arabinose residues are widely distributed in plant cell walls, where they are present in polymers such as arabinans, arabinoxylans, arabinogalactans and arabinogalactan proteins. L-arabinose suppress intestinal sucrase and decrease the adsorption of sugar in the small intestine, consequently, weight loss and fatness prevent. Now, xylose be used replacement sugar and arabinose be utilized fatness prevent of our time. Various Agricultural surplus like com fiber, contain $20\;{\sim}\;40%$ of hemicellulose. Corn fiber from Agricultural Renewable Biomass was chosen the best suitable material for arabinose production. In this work, we searched about for L-arabinose gene in compost, metagenome pool and indonesian soil. So, the B1029 TS2-8 of L-arabinase gene in compost was selected by YNB media(5% yeast nitrogen base, 5% arabinogalactan). After enzyme reaction with corn fiver, B1029 TS2-8 produced 2.15 g/L of L-arabonose.

This paper is to study on the pilot work of bi-directional S.C.R. power converter adopted by the method of diode-bridge type circuit. This apparatus acts as a converter when it is used in convering 3-phase a.c source to d.c output, and it can be used as an inverter which recovering surplus d.c power to a.c source when d.c load become active to cause the induced voltage higher than the presetted point of d.c output voltage. At the same time, its d.c voltage varies continuously in the presetted range of positive and/or negative polarity. As a result of test, the AC/DC bi-directional power converter represents maximum converting efficiency of 91% and power factor of 0.98. Furthermore, this converter also can be applied as a cycleconverter by varying the period of gate triggering signal.

This paper is concerned with the development of ameliorating inventory models. The ameliorating inventory is the inventory of goods whose utility increases over the time by ameliorating activation. The term ameliorating inventory is used in this paper at least, since the terminology is not standard well known. This study is performed according to areas; one is an economic order quantity(EOQ) model for the items whose utility is ameliorating in accordance with Weibull distribution, and the other is a partial selling quantity(PSQ) model developed for selling the surplus inventory accumulated by ameliorating activation. The proposed models cannot be solved directly in a closed form, thus we used a computer program and a graphical solution method to obtain the optimal ordering and setting quantity in this paper. Numerical examples to illustrate the effect of ameliorating rate on inventory polices are shown at the end of this paper.

Based on social welfare maximum theory, the optimal scale of power plants entering generation power market being is researched. A static non-cooperative game model for short-term optimization of power plants with different cost is presented. And the equilibrium solutions and the total social welfare are obtained. According to principle of maximum social welfare selection, the optimization model is solved, optimal number of power plants entering the market is determined. The optimization results can not only increase the customer surplus and improve power production efficiency, but also sustain normal profits of power plants and scale economy of power production, and the waste of resource can also be avoided. At last, case results show that the proposed model is efficient.

High oil price and biodiesel expansion lead the surplus of glycerol in the market. Glycerol has been used as a raw material itself at petroleum chemistry, paint, tobacco, household products and cosmetics in the conventional market. Recently, many research to find new applications of glycerol as a low-cost feedstock for functional derivatives have led to the introduction of a number of selective processes for converting glycerol into commercially value-added products. The recent studies on the development of new value-added glycerol derivatives will be reviewed.
