This study was carried out to evaluate the weight loss rates, carbon and nitrogen dynamics of wood stakes following soil amendment treatments (CLB: compound fertilizer + lime + biochar; LB: lime + biochar) in a post-fire restoration area, Ulsan Metropolitan city, southern Korea. Soil amendments in the fire-disturbed area were applied to two-times (Mar. and Jun. 2015, 2016) during the study period. Wood stakes on Mar. 2015 were buried at a top 15cm of mineral soil in two soil amendment and control treatments of Liriodendron tulipifera, Prunus yedoensis, Quercus acutissima, Pinus thunbergii plantations and an unplanted area in the post-fire restoration area. Wood stakes were collected at Oct. 2015, Mar. 2016 and Oct. 2016 to measure weight loss rates, organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Weight loss rates of wood stakes were not significantly affected by soil amendment treatments. However, remaining carbon of wood stakes were lowest in the control treatment (43.7%), followed by the CLB (71.3%) and the LB (71.6%) treatments. Remaining nitrogen of wood stakes was less in the control treatment (29.7%) compared with the LB treatment (52.6%). The results indicate that carbon and nitrogen mineralization of wood stakes in post-fire restoration area were delayed by soil amendment treatments.

Keys play a fundamental role in all data models. They allow database systems to uniquely identify data items, and therefore, promote efficient data processing in many applications. Due to this, support is required to discover keys. These include keys that are semantically meaningful for the application domain, or are satisfied by a given database. We study the discovery of keys from SQL tables. We investigate the structural and computational properties of Armstrong tables for sets of SQL keys. Inspections of Armstrong tables enable data engineers to consolidate their understanding of semantically meaningful keys, and to communicate this understanding to other stake-holders. The stake-holders may want to make changes to the tables or provide entirely different tables to communicate their views to the data engineers. For such a purpose, we propose data mining algorithms that discover keys from a given SQL table. We combine the key mining algorithms with Armstrong table computations to generate informative Armstrong tables, that is, key-preserving semantic samples of existing SQL tables. Finally, we define formal measures to assess the distance between sets of SQL keys. The measures can be applied to validate the usefulness of Armstrong tables, and to automate the marking and feedback of non-multiple choice questions in database courses.

In this study, the sensory characteristics of various fruit(pineapple, orange, grape, strawberry, kiwi, apple and banana) demi-glace sauces were compared. The viscosity of banana sauce was higher than the controls (7.03). Additionally, the sensory characteristics of other fruit sauces were lower than those of the controls, and additionally the viscosity as significantly different from the controls. The pH values of the fruit sauces were lower than the control values (4.40), and the brix of the fruit sauces was higher than that of he controls. The L-values of the controls (22.69) were higher than those of the banana sauce (25.20), and orange sauces (23.15). The a-values of the demi-glace sauce were higher than those of the fruit sauces. The b-values of the 8 types of demi-glace sauce ranged from 6.92 to 14.31. In the sensory evaluation of overall acceptability, the demi-glace sauce, kiwi sauce, orange sauce, and grape sauce achieved the highest scores. with regard to the overall acceptability of tofu steak with turmeric and fruit sauces, the kiwi sauce, pineapple sauce, and apple sauces achieved the highest scores.

The purpose of this study is to find what factors are directly related to the delay of public projects, usually going beyond the planned deadline and budget. From a series of System Dynamics simulation works applied to the Cheongju Cremation Project, the research finds that the negative externalities originated from the adjacent location of the LULU(locally unwanted land use) facilities have exerted significant influence on dynamic perceptions of key stakeholders, typically resulting in project delay. As shown repeated experiments, the proposed negotiation-based models would produce relatively higher planning performance level than the typical approaches hinged on the administrative-expediency tactics. Even though the former may require more human and material resources in the very beginning stage, as they have to deal with diverse grievances raised by major stake-holders, most of them would bound for strengthening reinforcing loops within the complex structure. These results also imply that negotiation or consensus-building approaches would enhance mutual agreement among stake-holders, upgrading the overall quality of project management.

We intend to analyze how a specific industry of multi layered platforms successfully organize and operate numerous stake holders. Using the online game industry as a reference, we track and define the ecosystem and provide evidence for further study. A proposal is made to investigate how the change in consumers' attitude and the technological capacity is influencing the whole ecosystem. Also suggested is to extend the findings and apply it on various tech-based ecosystems for a more thorough understanding of the industry.

This study aims to develop standard indicators and methodology for college & university libraries' evaluation based on the agreement among various stake-holders, then suggests a new evaluation system. For the goal, we identify purposes and required conditions, then develop indicators for the evaluation through open-ended interviews, a questionnaire survey, and focus group for reaching an agreement on the included indicators among the stake-holders, finally we construct the overall evaluation structure and weighting system. The overall structure is developed based on process-centered approach, then both the internal and functional viewpoint and external and service-oriented viewpoint are considered. The weighting system is based on the balance among the process categories, such as resources, process, and output elements. Additionally, we suggest methodology for the evaluation and annual improvement process for ongoing improvement of the evaluation system. We expect that the results from this study will contribute not only to the evaluation activities but also to active discussions on library performance and its predictor factors.

To manage the Internet of Things(IoT) Network, which consists of a large number of various devices, a secure and automatic method of strengthening the IoT network is being proposed. Blockchain has a 'smart contract' element of autonomous execution method, which is emerging as a way to not only exchange data quickly without mediators but also securely and automatically manage processes between IoT devices. In this paper, we implement a prototype of the entire IoT device management system based on the EOSIO with DPoS(Distributed Proof of Stake)-based blockchain structure, proposed as a prior study, including the user application DApp(Decentralized Application) and the actual IoT devices (Raspberry Pi-based device, and smart lamp) that interact with the blockchain platform. We analyze the benefits of the system and measure the time overhead to show the feasibility of the system.

This study examines the mud-based cosmetic business by the City of Boryeong, as a case of commodifying a locality's endowment or assets for local development. Concretely, the study discusses current status, history, and challenges of the business, which is an integral component of the key industry Boryeong seeks to promote by using mud materials. The discussion also encompasses the factors behind the development of the business. From the discussion, my work presents the business‘s implications for the commodification of local endowment/assets and promotion of relevant key industries that not a few localities across Korea pursue for their development. I deal with such implications, primarily in terms of the local institutional capacity that induces the consistent participation and cooperation from a wide variety of stake-holder as well as the shared vision among such stake-holders in order to enable a locality to effectively use its endowments/assets for local development. And this work reiterates that the institutional capacity which is significant for local development has to be analyzed in depth and such an analysis should produce codified knowledge which can function as guidances or manuals for many localities.
