The Blu-ray Disc Recordable(BD-R) is one of strong candidates for archival application among optical media formats, because of its large capability. However, the well-defined accelerated aging test conditions and evaluation criteria have not yet been fully confirmed for BD-R. In this study, the data stability and degradation aspect of BD-R were analyzed by the random-symbol error rate(R-SER) measurement after the accelerated aging test. And a reasonable test condition of accelerated aging for BD-R and the appropriate evaluation criterion using R-SER measurement were discussed.

The Blu-ray Disc Recordable-Triple Layer (BD-R TL) media is considered as one of strong candidates for archival application among optical media formats, due to its large capacity. However, the long-term stability and degradation aspect have not been fully understood yet for BD-R TL media. Thus, the BD-R TL media were recorded at full tracks and analyzed by the random-symbol error rate (R-SER) measurement at different recording layers and recording positions after the accelerated aging test to understand its long-term stability. Finally, the general degradation aspect of BD-R TL media was discussed to improve the long-term stability.

This study was a study on an facilitated transport membrane to replace the cryogenic separation method currently used in olefin/paraffin separation. Cost reduction is also a very important factor to commercialize facilitated transport membranes. However, AgBF4, which has been studied a lot, is a relatively expensive silver salt. To replace this, a PEBAX-2533/ AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 composite film was prepared using relatively inexpensive AgCF3SO3. It was analyzed through SEM, FT-IR, and RAMAN. Through this study, it was confirmed that the polymer matrix affects the long-term stability.

본 논문에서는 벡터 기반 데이터 증강 기법(Data augmentation)을 제안하여 학습 데이터를 구축한 뒤, 이를 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN)으로 실제 균열과 가까운 패턴을 표현할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 건축물의 균열은 인명 피해를 가져오는 건물 붕괴와 낙하 사고를 비롯한 큰 사고의 원인이다. 이를 인공지능으로 해결하기 위해서는 대량의 데이터 확보가 필수적이다. 하지만, 실제 균열 이미지는 복잡한 패턴을 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 위험한 상황에 노출되기 때문에 대량의 데이터를 확보하기 어렵다. 이러한 데이터베이스 구축의 문제점은 인위적으로 특정 부분에 변형을 주어 데이터양을 늘리는 탄성왜곡(Elastic distortion) 기법으로 해결할 수 있지만, 본 논문에서는 이보다 향상된 균열 패턴 결과를 CNN을 활용하여 보여준다. 탄성왜곡 기법보다 CNN을 이용했을 때, 실제 균열 패턴과 유사하게 추출된 결과를 얻을 수 있었고, 일반적으로 사용되는 픽셀 기반 데이터가 아닌 벡터 기반으로 데이터 증강을 설계함으로써 균열의 변화량 측면에서 우수함을 보였다. 본 논문에서는 적은 개수의 균열 데이터를 입력으로 사용했음에도 불구하고 균열의 방향 및 패턴을 다양하게 생성하여 쉽게 균열 데이터베이스를 구축할 수 있었다. 이는 장기적으로 구조물의 안정성 평가에 이바지하여 안전사고에 대한 불안감에서 벗어나 더욱 안전하고 쾌적한 주거 환경을 조성할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper analyses the dynamic causal relationship between vessel export and economic growth using annual data over the period from 1977 to 2006. Tests for ADF unit-roots, the dynamic vector using Johansen's multiple cointegration procedure, dynamic vector error correction model and impulse response function are presented. The findings of the Granger test suggest that vessel export Granger-causes economic growth in the short-run and economic growth Granger-causes exports in the short and long-run. The empirical results of impulse-response analysis show that the vessel export to a shock in real GDP responds positively and the real GDP responds positively to the shocks in vessel export. Also, the results indicate that the impact of vessel export shock on the real GDP is short-lived.

The purpose of this study is to develop a fluidity-improved refilling material that satisfies smooth construction and long-term durability in a low-temperature environment using special materials and field soil as a refilling material to develop technology for high-speed installation of long-term non-traditional pipelines on poor ground containing a large amount of organic soil in a low-temperature environment. To this end, a special cement material was developed, and an indoor test was conducted to determine the construction performance and durability of the fluidity improved refilling material mixed with the developed special material and field soil to meet the quality standards for field construction. The construction quality standard items of fluidity improved refill materials were set to meet the CLSM (ACI 229R-13) standard suggested by the American ACI (America Concrete Institute). In addition, in order to understand the applicability in a low-temperature environment, the test was performed with the same items at low temperature and compared with the indoor test results at room temperature.

Recently, climate indices represented by quantifying atmospheric-ocean circulation patterns have been widely used to predict hydrologic variables for considering long-term climate variability. Hydrologic forecasting models based on artificial neural networks have been developed to provide accurate and stable forecasting performance. Forecasts of hydrologic variables considering climate variability can be effectively used for long-term management of water resources and environmental preservation. Therefore, identifying significant indicators for hydrologic variables and applying forecasting models still remains as a challenge. In this study, we selected representative climate indices that have significant relationships with dam inflow time series in the Han-River basin, South Korea for applying the dam inflow forecasting model. For this purpose, the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) method was used to identify a significance between dam inflow and climate indices and an artificial neural network(ANN) ensemble model was applied to overcome the limitation of a single ANN model. As a result, the forecasting performances showed that the mean correlation coefficient of the five dams in the training period is 0.88, and the test period is 0.68. It can be expected to come out various applications using the relationship between hydrologic variables and climate variability in South Korea.

This study examines the labor market performance of graduates who had student loans. Compared to earlier studies, we extended analyses to all jobs that were experienced for more than 18 months after graduation. First, we found that students who had student loans earned 2.81% less at their first job compared to their counterparts without student loans. Second, the wage gap decreased over time, a reduction of 0.66%p due to labor market turnovers. Third, when we compared cumulated labor income, however, the amount for borrowers were continuously higher. This is because the job searching period of a borrower was shorter, despite relatively lower wages at the first job, and borrowers also made more frequent job turnovers, accompanying relatively more wage increases. These results suggest that the negative effects of college loans on earnings, reported in previous studies, may have exaggerated the negative impact to some extent of having loans. However, when we look at the quality of jobs beyond simply wages, the proportion of borrowers working at large companies as regular workers was consistently low. Given that job conditions at the earlier stages of one's career may lead to gaps over time, our findings call for more systematic investigations into the effects that student loans have on long-term labor performance.

This paper finds that business in the shipbuilding industry affects significantly the exchange rate and its variability. The effects of the amount of orders received and construction in the shipbuilding industry on the exchange rate and its variability are preemptive and long lasted. This implies that business cycles and the exchange rate hedge in the shipbuilding industry are important factors in understanding the exchange rate and its variability. Advancement in the technology of exchange rate hedge in future may reinforce the importance of business cycles in the shipbuilding industry. It is, therefore, required that the policy authority should monitor carefully the shipbuilding industry for the stability of foreign exchange market.

It is very difficult to rehabilitate the damaged earth dam core to manage it stably against development of flow path and increase of leakage by hydraulic fracture. In this study, application of CGS (Compaction Grouting System) to damaged earth dam core was noticed by analyzing and comparing the results of the in-situ data and FEM. Results of in-situ data showed that according as progress of rehabilitation works tip pressures increased and volume of injection decreased, voids of damaged dam core were filled with materials similar to origin dam core. Rehabilitations caused turbidity and volume of leakage to decrease at the same water level. Also, results of FEM analysis indicated that permeability decreased by rehabilitation. Through this study, it is proved that CGS is able to decrease permeability coefficient, volume of leakage and turbidity on damaged earth dam core.
