This paper entirely explains the Korean astronaut program from astronaut selection to launch and return and introduces technology and results through this program in detail. The Korean astronaut program launched Nov. 2005 with the objectives to develop the manned space technology such as astronaut selection, training and space experiment and to disseminate concerns to the public about the science and space. In 2006 to select the Korean astronauts, the standards for selecting astronauts were set and then the selection processes from 1st stage to 4th stage were performed. In 2007, the 2 Korean astronauts took the astronaut training and the 18 domestic science experiments and 3 international experiments which the Korean astronaut, Dr. Yi, performed in ISS last April were developed. In April 2008, the Korean astronaut was transported to ISS by Soyuz in Baikonur in Kazakhstan and returned to the ground with performing the mission and space experiments. This paper will explain these processes as the above(astronaut's selection, training, space experiment, etc.) in detail.

Korea is near close the success on the indigenous launch vehicle KSLV-2 after the second test launch during the second half of 2022, and the satellite development has been already in the level of advanced country. After the such mature of satellite and launch vehicle technologies, Korea's space development main theme should be 'Space Exploration and Space Application', and paradigm should be changed from 'Hardware' to 'Scientific/Technological Mission', from 'Unmanned' to 'Manned'. Korea's prime space strategy should be the direction of expansion of space industry, creation of employment and secure the key technologies, improvement of convenience and safety of people. For the purpose it is necessary to start 'Manned Space Development' such that participation to 'Artemis and Gateway Program' in 20s' and manned Mars exploration in 30s' which would be carried out by means of global international cooperation, and which could be a good opportunity to explore the new area of space development and upgrade national technology capability. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is required for Korea to join the international programs through developing indigenous challenging, sustainable Korean mission and hardware. Also selection of the 2^nd Korean Astronaut could draw national attention, especially could give dreams to young generation. Participation to the Artemis program could be the opportunity of entering the major space fairing nation and boosting up national pride. In this study we survey and analyze the Artemis Program in detail, and in conclusion we suggest the strategy of Korea's participation to the Artemis Program.

Recently in Korea, rocket technology is being taken a wide scope as government planning to build Oeinaro-do space center and to select First Korean astronaut. But compared to development in USA, there is a lack of safety rules in amateur rocket. So it is very essential to meet some powerful legal safety rules for keeping pace with increasing popularization of rocket technology. Herein we discuss, in the field of rocket design, making, launching and collecting stage with considering the rules of IRR, NURA and NAR-HIAA.

항생제 생산을 위한 생물공정은 크게 3단계로 나뉠 수 있다. 우주균주 선발, 현장균주 보존및 현장 종균 공급을 위한 일련의 종균배양 과정을 Upstream이라 할 수 있고, 종모실로 부터 공급받은 종균을 현장에서 증식시키는 현장 종균배양 공정과 본 발효조에서의 항생제 생합성공정을 Mid-Stream, 발효가 끝난 상태의 배양액으로부터 균체, 세포내 및 세포외 불필요한 물질을 제거하고 항생제만을 회수, 정제하는 Down Stream으로 나뉠 수 있다. 따라서 항생제 발효는 좁은 의미에서는 본 발효조에서의 항생제 생합성공정을 가르키지만 넓은 의미에서는 위 전체 공정을 가르키는 말이기도 하다. 따라서 본 소고에서는 항생제 생산을 위한 생물 공정상의 문제점을 3분야로 나누어 제시하고자 한다. 실제로 항생제 공장을 건립하여 항생제 발효를 실시해 왔으며 그것을 좀더 나은 수준으로 개선하고자 꾸준히 노력해 온 당사에서의 경우를 그 예로 보아 문제점을 제시하고자 한다.

This study was carried out to investigate the morphological and physiological characteristics of six new cultivars of Hypsizygus marmoreus (Hm) and measure endo-, exo-cellular enzyme-specific activity. The domestic wild stain (Hm3-10) and commercial strain in Japan (Hm1-1) were mated by crossing monokaryon mycelia. We gained 58 strains from one of 400 crosses through the $1^{st}$ cultivation experiment, and selected six strains from one of 58 strains through the $2^{nd}$ cultivation experiment. When six of the selected new strains were grown during several spawn culture periods (60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 days), a spawn culture period of more 80 days was considered to be excellent as being shorter than 19~20 days. Therefore, we determined the period of spawn culture as 80 days. Three strains such as Hm15-3, Hm15-4, and Hm17-5 showed an excellent result. When endo-cellular enzyme activity measured eight strains, we obtained a result of that specific activity of ${\alpha}$-amylase at the highest as 73.9~102.2 unit/mg protein, and chitinase is lower than ${\alpha}$-amylase at 8.1~13.1 unit/mg protein. When exo-cellular enzyme activity measured eight strains, we determined the result of that specific activity of ${\alpha}$-amylase is the highest at 5,292~1,184 unit/mg protein, and CMCase and xylanase were 1,140~245 unit/mg protein, 94~575 unit/mg protein, compared to each other. However, the enzyme activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and chitinase is low.

The low birth rate and shortened military service period are causing concerns about selecting excellent military officers. The Republic of Korea entered a low birth rate society in 1984 and an aged society in 2018 respectively, and is expected to be in a super-aged society in 2025. In addition, the troop-oriented military is changed as a state-of-the-art weapons-oriented military, and the reduction of the military service period was implemented in 2018 to ease the burden of military service for young people and play a role in the society early. Some observe that the application rate for military officers is falling due to a decrease of manpower resources and a preference for shortened mandatory military service over military officers. This requires further consideration of the policy of securing excellent military officers. Most of the related studies have used social scientists' methodologies, but this study applies the methodology of text mining suitable for large-scale documents analysis. This study extracts words of discriminative characteristics from the Republic of Korea Air Force Non-Commissioned Officer Applicant cover letters and analyzes the polarity of pass and fail. It consists of three steps in total. First, the application is divided into general and technical fields, and the words characterized in the cover letter are ordered according to the difference in the frequency ratio of each field. The greater the difference in the proportion of each application field, the field character is defined as 'more discriminative'. Based on this, we extract the top 50 words representing discriminative characteristics in general fields and the top 50 words representing discriminative characteristics in technology fields. Second, the number of appropriate topics in the overall cover letter is calculated through the LDA. It uses perplexity score and coherence score. Based on the appropriate number of topics, we then use LDA to generate topic and probability, and estimate which topic words of discriminative characteristic belong to. Subsequently, the keyword indicators of questions used to set the labeling candidate index, and the most appropriate index indicator is set as the label for the topic when considering the topic-specific word distribution. Third, using L-LDA, which sets the cover letter and label as pass and fail, we generate topics and probabilities for each field of pass and fail labels. Furthermore, we extract only words of discriminative characteristics that give labeled topics among generated topics and probabilities by pass and fail labels. Next, we extract the difference between the probability on the pass label and the probability on the fail label by word of the labeled discriminative characteristic. A positive figure can be seen as having the polarity of pass, and a negative figure can be seen as having the polarity of fail. This study is the first research to reflect the characteristics of cover letters of Republic of Korea Air Force non-commissioned officer applicants, not in the private sector. Moreover, these methodologies can apply text mining techniques for multiple documents, rather survey or interview methods, to reduce analysis time and increase reliability for the entire population. For this reason, the methodology proposed in the study is also applicable to other forms of multiple documents in the field of military personnel. This study shows that L-LDA is more suitable than LDA to extract discriminative characteristics of Republic of Korea Air Force Noncommissioned cover letters. Furthermore, this study proposes a methodology that uses a combination of LDA and L-LDA. Therefore, through the analysis of the results of the acquisition of non-commissioned Republic of Korea Air Force officers, we would like to provide information available for acquisition and promotional policies and propose a methodology available for research in the field of military manpower acquisition.

The skeletal muscles of livestock play a crucial role as protein sources for humans, and the consumption of poultry meat is steadily increasing worldwide. Numerous genes, including myogenic regulatory factors, are involved in myogenesis, and precise regulation of them is essential. In this study, genes specifically expressed in muscles were selected, and their promoters were cloned and analyzed. The analysis of gene expression in various tissues of animals revealed that many genes exhibited specific expression patterns in skeletal muscles, with TNNT3, TNNC2, and MYF6 genes showing similar patterns in poultry. The promoter regions of three genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction to sizes of 1.2 kb, 1.03 kb, and 1.43 kb, respectively. These fragments were then inserted at the front of the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene in vectors. It was confirmed that the sequences of three promoters closely matched the chicken genome sequences. Upon introducing vectors with each promoter into QM7 quail muscle cells, all three promoters successfully induced the expression of the green fluorescent protein. The brightness of the green fluorescence in each promoter was approximately seven times dimmer compared to the control, CMV-IE promoter. It is predicted that more than 230 transcription factors can bind to each promoter, especially various transcription factors expressed in muscles, including myogenic regulatory factors such as MYF5, MYOD, and MYOG. These promoters can be valuable for studying gene expression in poultry muscle cells, and further research is needed to precisely investigate the regulatory region of gene expression in promoters.
