To improve traffic congestion, reduce fuel consumption, and improve the stability of truck operations, truck platooning, in which several trucks are organized in a single platoon, is being actively researched globally. Compared to the operation of a single truck, the operation of a truck platoon requires more caution before the actual operation because an accident of one vehicle in the platoon can lead to an accident with all the vehicles in the platoon. Therefore, this study examined the types of trucks and cargo suitable for truck platooning to prevent safety accidents. The review showed that a closed-van-type truck is appropriate for truck platooning to prevent falling objects during driving. In the case of cargo types, it is necessary to exclude liquids and dangerous goods defined in related laws from truck platooning.

This paper propose new sound localization algorithm that detects the sound source bearing in a closed office environment using two microphone array. The proposed Subband CPSP (Cross Power Spectrum Phase) algorithm is a development of previously Down CPSP method using subband approach. It first split the received microphone signals into subbands and then calculates subband CPSP which result in possible source bearings. This type of algorithm, Subband CPSP, can provide more robust and reliable sound localization system because it limits the effects of environmental noise within each subband. To verify the performance of the proposed Subband CPSP algorithm, a real time simulation was conducted and it was compared with previous CPSP method. From the simulation results, the proposed Subband CPSP is superior to previous CPSP algorithm more than 5％ average accuracy for sound source detection.

This paper deals with acoustic echo cancellation using blind signal separation method. This method does not degrade the echo cancellation performance even during double-talk. In the closed echo environment, the mixing model of acoustic signals is multi-channel, so the convolutive blind signal separation method is applied and the mixing coefficients are calculated by using the feedback model without directly calculating the separation coefficients for signal separation. The coefficient update is performed by iterative calculations based on the second-order statistical properties, thus estimates the near-end speech. A number of simulations have been performed to verify the performance of the proposed blind signal separation method. The simulation results show that the acoustic echo canceller using this method operates safely regardless of the presence of double-talk, and the PESQ is improved by 0.6 point compared with the general adaptive FIR filter structure.

Phenomenological approach suggests a new dimension in landscape evaluation, which is a contrast to the existing scientific evaluation methods. The characteristics of the phenomenological approach is qualitative, holistic, open, and experiential, whereas that of the scientific approach is quantitative, reductive, closed, and experimental. In phenomenological approach, the average response of a group is not considered as meaningful in landscape evaluation. Instead, the individual response, experience, and feeling are considered as important. In phenomenological approach, people try to see the real world as it is, while scientists tend to simplify the real world in order to handle the complex Phenomena easily. Due to its holistic and qualitative nature, the phenomenological approach has limitations to be a practical landscape evaluation technique. However, recent research demonstrate the possibility of practical phenomenological landscape evaluation technique which is able to satisfy the criteria scientific methods should meet.

This paper aims to identify and clarify the cyber security risks and their interaction with the power system in Smart Grid. The EMS and other communication networks interact with the power system on a real time basis, so it is important to understand the interaction between two layers to protect the power system from potential cyber threats. In this study, the optimal power flow(OPF) and Power Flow Tracing are used to assess the interaction between the EMS and the power system. Through OPF and Power Flow Tracing based analysis, the physical and economic impacts from potential cyber threats are assessed, and thereby the quantitative risks are measured in a monetary unit.

불완전하게 충전되거나 충전이 되지않은 isthmus는 다근치에 있어서 근관치료의 높은 실패율을 나타낸다 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 isthmus를 갖는 근관을 골라 근관계의 기구조작을 시행하고 여러 가지 근관충전 방법을 이용하여 근관을 충전한 다음 근단부 형성시 적절한 파일의 크기와 치근단부의 밀폐효과를 각 부위별로 비교평가 해보고자 하는 것이다. Isthmus를 갖는 66개의 발거한 치아를 대상으로 기구조작을 통하여 근관확대를 완성하고 무작위로 각각 20개씩 3군으로 분류한 다음 아래와 같은 방법으로 근관을 충전하였다. : A군 측방가압충전법으로 충전한 군, B군 Continuous wave 충전법으로 충전한 군, C군 MicroSeal$^{TM}$을 이용하여 충전한 군. 나머지 6개의 치아는 3개씩 양성대조군과 음성대조군으로 정하였으며 기구조작 후 근관은 충전하지 않은 채로 두었다. 대조군을 제외한 모든 군은 각각 제조회사의 지시에 따라 근관충전한 후 각 시편의 치근단부 2mm를 제외하고 나머지 부위는 두겹의 nail polish를 발라주었으며 2% methylene blue용액에 침잠시켰다 일주일 후 꺼내어 흐르는 물에 깨끗이 세척한 다음 치근단 부위에서부터 1mm씩 잘라가면서 20배의 배율에서 염색액의 침투정도를 평가하였다. 염색액의 침투정도는 다음과 같이 평가되었다. A군과 B군에서는 많은 수의 시편에서 4mm 이상의 절단면에 염색액의 침투를 보인 반면 C군에서는 단지 3mm절단면에서 총 20개 중 3개의 시편에서 염색액의 침투를 보였을 뿐 그 이상의 절단면에서는 염색액의 침투를 보이지 않았다. 뿐만 아니라 isthmus를 갖는 제2형 근관계의 근단부 형성은 40번 크기보다는 큰 MAF가 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 비추어볼 때 isthmus를 갖는 다근치에서 근관충전시 적어도 40번 이상의 MAF로 근단부 형성을 한 후, 열가소성 Continuous wave 충전법과 MicroSeal$^{TM}$을 이용한 근관충전법이 기존의 측방가압충전법 보다는 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

새만금유역의 동진강유역에 위치한 동진강제수문은 서해 바닷물 역류에 따른 농경지의 염분피해를 예방하고 고부천과 연계된 부안지역의 농업용수 공급을 위해 설치되었다. 동진제수문은 그간 정읍시 신태인읍, 김제시 부량면, 부안군 백산면의 약 770 ha 농경지에 대해 염분피해를 예방하였고 영농과 한발 시에는 부안군 일대 농경지에 농업용수를 공급할 수 있었다. 하지만 새만금 간척사업등 대규모 국토개발로 주변 자연환경이 크게 변화하여 제수문은 염해방지기능을 상실하게 되었고 현재는 농업용수 공급원으로써의 기능만 남아 있다. 현재 동진강제수문은 관개기에 농업용수 취수를 위해 수문을 닫아 본류의 유량을 저류시키고 있으며, 비관개기에도 대부분 제수문을 닫아놓는 형태로 운영되고 있다. 이러한 갑문폐쇄로 인해 하류의 유입유량이 차단되고 상류 체류시간이 증가되어 수질에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다. 농업용수사용을 위해 저류되어있는 유량을 효율적으로 방류한다면, 외부수자원에 의존하지 않고 유역 내에서 자체적으로 새만금호의 유입량을 확보할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 동진강 하류의 수질개선에도 기여할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 동진강제수문의 내용적을 산정하여 용수공급능력을 파악하였고, 새만금유역과 호 내의 복잡한 수체 형상, 유입 및 유출 구조를 반영하는데 적합한 모델을 적용하였다. 재현성이 검토된 모델 결과를 이용하여 새만금호의 유입부인 동진강 하류의 수질을 모의하였으며, 구성한 모형의 결과와 용수공급능력을 바탕으로 동진강제수문에서의 방류조건을 가정하여 모의를 수행하였다. 방류조건별 수질개선효과를 살펴보면, Scenario 3 > Scenario 2 > Scenario 1의 순서로 수질개선율이 크게 나타났다. 동진강제수문에서의 방류량이 증가할수록 하류의 농도가 점차 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 동진강제수문의 방류량으로 인해 유황이 개선되고 호 내 오염부하농도가 감소하는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 농업용수 필요량을 제외한 유량을 하류의 환경유지용수로 확보하고 이를 수질관리취약 시기에 탄력적으로 방류하여 정체수역의 수질오염을 감소시키고 목표수질을 만족하도록 운영되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Autonomous driving of drone indoor must move along a narrow path and overcome other factors such as lighting, topographic characteristics, obstacles. In addition, it is difficult to operate the drone in the hallway because of insufficient texture and the lack of its diversity comparing with the complicated environment. In this paper, we study an autonomous drone navigation using Convolution Neural Network(CNN) in indoor environment. The proposed method receives an image from the front camera of the drone and then steers the drone by predicting the next path based on the image. As a result of a total of 38 autonomous drone navigation tests, it was confirmed that a drone was successfully navigating in the indoor environment by the proposed method without hitting the walls or doors in the hallway.
