In this study, to maximize the solar energy utilization for greenhouse heating during the winter season, solar energy-underground latent heat storage system was constructed, and the thermal performance of the system has been analyzed to obtain the basic data for realization of greenhouse solar heating system. The results are summarized as follows. 1. $Na_2SO_4{\cdot}10H_20$ was selected as a latent heat storage material, its physical properties were stabilized and the phase change temperature was controlled at $13{\sim}15^{\circ}C$. 2. Solar radiation of winter season was the lowest value in December, and Jinju area was the highest and the lowest value was shown in Jeju area. 3. The minimum inner air temperature of greenhouse with latent heat storage system(LHSS) was $7.0{\sim}7.5^{\circ}C$ higher than that of greenhouse without LHSS and was $7.0{\sim}11.2^{\circ}C$ higher than the minimum ambient air temperature. 4. Greenhouse heating effect of latent heat storage system was getting higher according to the increase of solar radiation and was not concerned with the variation of minimum ambient air temperature. 5. The relative humidity of greenhouse with latent heat storage system was varied from 50 to 85%, but that of greenhouse without LHSS was varied from 30 to 93%. 6. The heating cost of greenhouse with solar energy-latent heat storage system was about 24% of that with the kerosene heating system.

The government has promoted the local fishing port construction project since 1972 for conquest of the crisis of the fishing village by withering of a fishery, the improvement in fishermen's living environment and quality of life, and promotion of fisheries. In order to estimate the local fishing port construction project objective and synthetically, and to grope for the method proposal of system establishment of the project, the monitoring survey was carried out. The monitoring survey was classified into the program and the performance monitoring. The program monitoring was carried out in order to investigate the project fit for the inhabitants of a fishing village. The performance monitoring was carried out in order to investigate the development latent powers, fishery latent powers, tourism latent powers of a fishing village, rural settlement conditions, etc. using various statistical materials. Since investigating the measured value before executing a policy was not completed, the project effect was compared with the measured value of other areas. According to the local fishing port construction project, the development latent powers, fishery latent powers, and tourism latent powers of the fishing village where the project was undertaken improved greatly, and income of the fishing village increased greatly. As a result of comparing project fit in order to evaluate the project, the project fit of the local fishing port construction project area was higher than the non-project area. Desirable method proposal of monitoring survey was established and the method for raising the efficiency of monitoring survey was extracted.

In Korea, the cultivation area under the plastic greenhouse was 1,746 ha in 1975, and 36,656 ha in 1989, it shows that the greenhouse cultivation area was increased by 21 times during last 14 years. The greenhouse cultivation area of 90~93% has been kept warm with double layers of plastic film and thermal curtain knitted with rice straw, and the rest area of 7~10% has been heated by fossil fuel energy. The use of rice straw thermal curtain is inconvenient to put it on and off, on the other hand the use of fossil fuel heating system results in the increase of production cost. To solve these problems, at first the heating load and the storable solar energy in greenhouse during the winter season were predicted to design solar utilization system, secondly a solar thermal storage system filled with latent heat storage materials was developed in this study. And then finally the thermal performance of greenhouse-solar energy storage system was analyzed theoretically and experimentally.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the causal relationship, in the perspective of Total Quality Management, among the education quality factors, which were suggested in the previous researches. Lee et al. [16] had tried to analyze the relationship among education factors, but they did not estimate the education factor using latent variable concept, which is very reasonable and efficient to represent the constructed concepts. So this study attempts to analyze the causal relationship among education quality factors, represented as latent variables used in structural equation modeling (SEM), and compared with each other. In this study, education quality factors were measured by several measures, constructed as several latent variables, and then processed with AMOS, the most efficient statistical package in the SEM area. In order to analyze the causal relationship among the education quality factors constructed as latent variables, this study designed the structural equation model with suggested factors and established several research hypotheses. This study discovered a prominent causality among the education quality factors, such as education leadership, student scholastic performance and satisfaction of education quality, which is similar to that of previous research. This outcome is really a unique Korean syndrome manifest within our educational career orientation.

Collaborative tagging systems allow users to attach tags to diverse sharable contents in social networks. These tags provide usefulness in reusing the contents for all community members as well as their creators. Three-dimensional data composed of users, items, and tags are used in the collaborative tag-based recommendation. They are generally more voluminous and sparse than two-dimensional data composed of users and items. Therefore, there are many difficulties in applying existing collaborative filtering methods directly to them. Latent factor models, which are also successful in the area of collaborative filtering recently, discover latent features(factors) for explaining observed values and solve problems based on the features. However, establishing the models require much time and efforts. In order to apply the latent factor models to three-dimensional collaborative filtering data, we have to overcome the difficulty of establishing them. This paper proposes various methods for determining preferences of users to items via establishing an intuitive model by assuming tags used for items as latent factors to users and items respectively. They are compared using real data for concluding desirable directions.

The purpose of this study was to identify developmental trajectories of externalizing problems in preschoolers and to investigate dimensions of temperament and parental behaviors associated with trajectory groups. Subjects were 180 3- to 5-year-old preschoolers (96 males, 84 females) in the metropolitan area of Seoul. They were assessed three times at 5 month intervals over a one year period. Teachers reported on children's behavior problems, and parents reported on children's temperaments. Latent Growth Curve Modeling Analysis with cohort sequential design revealed externalizing behaviors gradually decreased between 3 and 6. At the 6-year-old level externalizing behaviors were associated with high novelty seeking temperament. The results were discussed in terms of the importance of longitudinal research in developmental psychopathology.

The meteorological elements were measured to investigate cause of summertime ice formation at Unchiri, Gangwon Province. The cause of freezing at valley was conformed as adiabatic expansion theory, latent heat of evaporation, natural convective theory, cold air remain theory, and convective freezing theory according to former study. However nither theory produced a satisfactory explanation. This studying area is not valley but ridge, and underground water surface exists at below than freezing height. wintertime temperature drop and summertime cold air spouting were explain as natural convective theory, generation of water drop on the rock was explained as cooling theory by air expansion, and ice formation on the rock was explained as adiabatic expansion theory. In conclusion, formation of ice valley at Unchiri was formed by natural convective theory, adiabatic expansion theory, and latent heat of evaporation successively.

This paper investigates the thermodynamic performance of latent heat thermal energy storage system using two phase change materials(2-PCM system). The thermodynamic merit of using 2-PCM is clear in terms of exergetic efficiency, which is substantially higher than that of 1-PCM system. Optimum phase change temperature to maximize the exergetic efficiency exists for each case. The heat transfer area ratio of high temperature storage unit, X, becomes another important parameter for 2-PCM system if the phase change temperatures of given materials are different from those of optimum conditions. It is a good approximation for X$_{opt}$ to be 0.5 when optimum phase change temperatures are used. Otherwise X$_{opt}$ is determined differently as a function of given phase change temperatures.res.

This paper describes the simple payback period analysis of small co-generation system based on the existing apartment and building data. First, We investigate apartment and building data more than $2000[m^2]$ using Ministry of Construction & Transportation's computer system. And then we calculate the latent amount of small co-generation system considering gas company and CHP. Second, we classify the latent amount of small co-generation system into office, hospital, hotel, department store, complex building and apartment. Finally, we perform the simple payback period analysis for small co-generation system. The results show the simple payback period of small co-generation system is less then 10 years.
