This study was carried out to the development of ecological planting model to make up of coastal windbreak forest on the Suncheon-bay in Sucheon-si, Korea. Make up of coastal windbreak forest in this site was needed for appropriate bioresource, biodiversity and ecological structure, and for conservation of the eco-tour resource and protection of human life and property by the unforeseen disaster from the coast. Based on the plant-social principle, the planting model of windbreak forest was developed to facilitate growth of trees, considering planting locations. The ecological planting model for the coastal windbreak was composed of warm temperate evergreen and windbreak forest which is spreading around the inland area in Korea. The horizontal forest style was composed of forest edge community and inner forest community, and the vertical forest style was composed of upper, middle, low and ground planting class. The target of the present model was quasi-natural forest, and the species of tree were selected based on the adaptability to surroundings depending on a goal to create a forest and forest style. To achieve both functions of wind break forest and visual effect in short period of time, small trees and seedlings were planted with high-density of 40,000/ha in an expectation of easy natural maintenance in the future. The significance of the present study is a suggestion for a guideline to create ecological coastal windbreak forest in the Suncheon-bay in which the harmony of human life and the ecological conservation is of great importance. Also, the ecological coastal windbreak forest model should be developed further through the long term monitoring after construction of forest.

Developing u-Public facilities for application u-City is to combine both the state-of-the art of the construction and ubiquitous computing and must be flexibly comprised of the facilities for the basic service of the building such as air conditioning, heating, lighting and electric equipments to materialize a new format of spatial planning and the public facilities inside or outside. Accordingly, in this paper we suggested the time pattern system for predicting the most basic power system loads for the basic service. To application the tim e pattern we applied SOM algorithm and k-means method and then clustered the data each weekday and each time respectively. The performance evaluation results of suggestion system showed that the forecasting system better the ARIMA model than the exponential smoothing method. It has been assumed that the plan for power supply depending on demand and system operation could be performed efficiently by means of using such power load forecasting.

This study was designed to gain insights into contemporary secondary mathematics curriculum revision in Korea. The two secondary mathematics curriculum reports submitted in the 1920s, the Kilpatrick Reports and 1923 Reports were compared and contrasted as the origin of recent math wars, and their backgrounds, committee members, viewpoints of math and math education and contents were analyzed to understand the perspectives of the two extreeme parts. Kilpatrick Reports was selected at that time, but nevertheless 1923 Report had taken a role of guiding secondary mathematics in US until the New Math era. The direction and process of mathematics curriculum revision were suggested based on the analysis of reports' short- and long-term influences. A close examination of the curriculum revision process in US and in Korea and the implications from the results are also included in the suggestion.

Long term monthly monitoring data showed that the water quality of streams flowing into Lake Paldang has been improved by various strategy for water. However, the effect of quality on Lake Paldang is still insufficient because of nonpoint source from watershed. In order to evaluate quantifying methods for pollution source and make a suggestion on improvements, Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was constructed by using data set from the water quality and streamflow monitoring network in the Kyoungan watershed for Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Load duration curve (LDC) based on the result of the Kyoungan watershed SWMM indicated that the water quality criterion on $BOD_5$ was often exceeded in up-stream than down-stream. From flowrate-load correlation curve, SS load significantly increased as streamflow increases. 75.3% of streamflow and 62.1% of $BOD_5$ loads is discharged especially in the zone of high flows, but monitoring data set didn't provide proper information about the conditions and the patterns associated with storm events. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire representative data set for comparing hydrograph and pollutograph through monitoring experimental watershed and to establish methods for quantifying point and nonpoint source pollutant loads.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of sweet bee venom pharmacopuncture on the post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. Methods : 40 patients with post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain were randomly divided into 2 groups : study group(sweet bee venom pharmacopuncture treatment group, n=21) and Control group(normal saline treatment group, n=19). They were monitored for 4 weeks, followed up with visual analog scale(VAS), pain rating score(PRS), painless passive shoulder range of movement(PROM) and Fugl-Meyer Motor assessment(FMMA) at before treatment(T0), after 2 weeks(T2) and after 4 weeks(T4). Results : 1. Study group and control group showed pain decrease, but study group showed more significant effectiveness in VAS and PRS than control group. 2. Although there is no significant difference in PROM between study group and control group, both groups showed increase of PROM, and study group had some effectiveness on abduction and flexion as the treatment progresses. 3. There is no significant difference in FMMA between study group and control group. Conclusions : This study suggests that sweet bee venom pharmacopuncture has significant analgesic effect on the post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. And it seems that sweet bee venom pharmacopuncture can be applicable to improve PROM in hemiplegia patients with stroke. Further studies based on larger population and long term follow-up are needed to confirm this suggestion.

It is required that fuel gas accidents should be managed carefully along with the increase of fuel gas consumption. Factors to cause accidents were investigated through a systematic analysis of gas accidents during recent 4 years, which could be applied to prepare countermeasures to reduce gas accidents. The thawing season is found to be weak to gas accidents, showing a slightly higher rate of accident occurring than average. During this term although the number of LPG accident is similar to that of yearly average, countermeasures are required for LPG facilities since the portion of accident is large; in detail, user's carelessness, defective facility, or instrument failure are major causes. The number of city gas accident facility is larger than that of yearly average; particularly, defective facilities, third-party work, and appliance failure are major causes. As a result, countermeasures have been suggested for the accident of large portion or above yearly average.

Loading noise generated by steady aerodynamic force exerted on the rotating body surface is theoretically analyzed and its radiation characteristics is examined as a fundamental research of helicopter rotor noise. For simplicity, the force exerted on each blade is not distributed but concentrated at one point and the noise is evaluated by using Lowson' exact formula with a discussion of the physical meaning of each term in the formula. For a single point force rotating with various angular frequencies, we investigated the radiation characteristics and theoretically explained the physical behavior at near and far-field. By investigating the amplitude of acoustic pressure with various distances, we observed the different decreasing ratio at near- and far-field with the discussion of the effect of acceleration of angular frequency. Finally, the phenomenon that the noise level is reduced everywhere as the number of blade increases is explained with the suggestion of a noise reduction idea, the limitations of this study, and the future research topics.

Modern enterprise activity and consuming pattern which have been continued since the industrial revolution are causing a great burden on the environment, so that the strategy for sustainability in the whole industry cannot but be realistic and inevitable alternative. Presently various brands which applied the concept of sustainability exist, however they also can be said to play a part in current environmental damage by creating value aiming at only growth and pursuing short-term profit in accordance with it with simple commercial logic. Hereupon, this research aimed at eventually preparing the base of guidelines of sustainable design of space branding by newly drawing the value of sustainability in the aspect of space branding and systematically deducing design elements along with it. For this, the researcher reestablished value and design elements for sustainability in space branding by comprehending the concept of sustainability, design method of sustainable design and environmental value hidden in it, after comprehending the concept of space branding and brand value suggestion and interrelation through advanced researches. The previous studies related to the existing space branding have had mainly focused on the design of the marketing point of view to promote consumer culture. But this study can be found the meaning that new roles and methods of design in space branding from the perspective of sustainable. Now companies need to figure out a variety of strategic ways to find the right balance depending on their situation between contradictory concept of 'Consumption' and 'Sustainability'.

For the dissemination of new and renewable energy, Korean government introduced a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) scheme in 2012 after terminating feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme that was introduced in 2004. With the RPS scheme, 64.7% of its own goal (95.7% in PV and 63.3% in non-PV) was achieved in 2012 and 67.2% of that (94.9% in PV, 65% in non-PV) was achieved in 2013. The deployment of PV systems met the goal very well and that of non-PV did not. Recently, Korean government revised the target year of supplying 10% electricity from new and renewable energy from 2022 to 2024 and released a couple of measures on PV area. Recent studies showed that the bankability of a project plays a key role for PV dissemination. Therefore, the dissemination should be assessed from the point of bankability under the RPS scheme and a little adjustment is necessary to achieve the goal. Especially, installing a small size PV (<100 kwp) system needs a minimum REC price or a FIT scheme. In non-PV area, permission process is a common bottleneck and the related regulation should be eased. In addition, to achieve the long term goal, an implementing scenario has to be prepared. Currently, the portion of the waste-gas energy originated from fossil fuel is too large among the new and renewable energy sources and the portion should be lowered or eliminated in the 10% of electricity supply goal. Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) has its own FIT scheme for PV dissemination from 2014 SMG and revised the PV tariff from 50 to 100 won/kwh in effective of 2015. It is worth to spread the other provinces.

According to the Fregean theory of meaning based on the distinction between sense and reference,the cognitive significance of coreferential names may be distinct or The so-called direct reference theorists. however,claim that unamhbiguous,coreferential names.which have the same denotation from context to context, must have the same cognitive significance.Thereby,Fregean senses,counted as intermediate entities that determine the denotation of a term,are altogether rejected.Once Fregean senses are rejected.however,it is hard to explain why the substitytivity of coreferential names fails in the contexts of propositional attitudes.Thus,the puzzles of propositional attitudes have been the stumbling block for direct reference theorists. Recently, Zalta claimed that by small amendation it is possible to reconcile the conflicting views of Fregeans and the direct reference theorists without losing their important insights.Indeed, he claimed that his suggestion admirably solves the propositional puzzles.In this article,we shall critically examine his eclectic solution only to highlight some of the more basic issues.
