We have developed the multi-functioned friction measuring instrument for the previous research. In here, we improved the performance of friction measuring instrument by applying the adaptive smoothing method and analyzed the friction of plate and monitoring function of friction surface through scratch tests. We substituted lubricant steel plate to lubricant oil used for reducing the friction when fabricating steel plate because lubricant oil was regarded as one of the major causes for the environmental pollution. In particular, the functions of various plate such as galvannealed steel sheets were analyzed because friction coefficient could be changed depending on the type of organic/inorganic plate or state of coating layer. Therefore, we demonstrated that adaptive smoothing method could enhance the accuracy of measuring instrument which eliminate the noise. As a result of using the method, it showed the reduction rate 0.0417% for the friction coefficient 0.16.

This paper produced SUS MASK, which is used for OLEDs, using an automatic liquid management system. The SUS MASK was tested by setting the hole diameter to 0.4 mm. The additive F300 was found to be excellent as the hole diameter was close to 0.4 mm and the error range was measured to be 0.08 on average. And as a result of measuring the weight reduction amount of CuCl2 and FeCl3 according to the change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), FeCl3 is relatively sensitive to ORP changes. Experiments were conducted on whether ORP (610 mV) and specific gravity (1.463) were automatically controlled while continuously etching the SUS Mask. Experimental results show that the automatic liquid management system is well controlled because the setting value is not significantly changed. After setting the hole diameter to 0.4 mm as the target, the experiment results were measured from 0.36 to 0.44. Therefore, it is expected that etching processing in the manufacturing process of SUS MASK can be improved with higher precision by applying the manufactured automatic liquid management system.

Recently, lens manufacturing and assembly technology has greatly improved. However, tight requirements of manufacturing and assembly lead to an increase in cost and manufacturing time, and in some cases the performance of an optical system may deteriorate depending on the operating environment's conditions, such as temperature or vibration. In addition, the use of a compensator is an effective method to reduce sensitivity in an ultra-precision optical system, but in the case of a small lens, such as that in an endoscope, it is difficult to use a compensator due to the size limitation of the lens barrel. Therefore, minimizing lens sensitivity is the most important technology in lens design. For this reason, there have been various attempts to reduce the lens sensitivity, and there is a trend to add functions to reduce the sensitivity in the lens design S/W. In this paper, we introduce a design technology that minimizes lens sensitivity. We first design a lens with quite good performance, then analyze the sensitivity of this lens, make a multi-configuration with high-sensitivity element error, and then reoptimize it. We prove with an example that this design technique is very effective.

기후 변화로 인한 강우 패턴의 변화는 도심지 방재성능 목표를 상회하는 홍수로 이어져 침수피해를 가중시키고 있다. 이로 인한 도시침수 피해를 저감하기 위하여 도시침수 예측모형 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 대규모 관망으로 이루어진 복잡한 도심지 우수관망을 모의하기 때문에 분석속도가 느려 실시간 예측 적용에 한계점이 있다. 도시침수 분석에 가장 많이 활용되는 대표적인 모형인 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)은 복잡한 관망을 비교적 빠르고 정확히 해석할 수 있어 유용하지만, 이 또한 대도심의 우수관망 모의 시 많은 시간이 소요되며, 관망 정밀도 기준이 정의되어 있지 않아 분석에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 관망 간소화 기법(유역면적의 밀도, 관거 직경, 관로의 길이 등)을 적용하고, 이에 따른 주요 지선과 간선의 수위 변화와 침수흔적도를 비교하여 분석결과의 정확성을 담보하는 관망 간소화 수준을 파악하고 도시침수 분석 시 적정 간소화 기준과 자동 간소화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 도시침수 분석 시 우수관망 자동 간소화를 위하여 Python을 활용한 코드를 작성하였으며, SWMM의 .inp 파일을 읽어들여 Dataframe형태로 저장한 후 분석을 위한 데이터 가공, 간소화 기준에 따른 분류, 간소화 대상 수리·수문인자 연산, 인접 간선에 연결, 간소화된 .inp파일 저장의 총 6단계로 구성하였다. 연구 대상지역은 도림천 유역으로 설정하였으며, 초기자료는 맨홀 30,469, 관거 32,443, 소유역 30,586개로 이루어져 있으며, 모의 시간은 약 2시간 30분이 소요되었다. 유역면적 100x100 미만을 대상으로 수행 시 맨홀 9,965, 관거 10,464, 소유역 9,240개로 관거의 복잡도가 약 1/3 감소하였으며, 모의 시간은 약 43분으로 기존대비 약 72% 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 침수가 발생한 주요지점들을 비교한 결과 R² 0.85 ~ 0.92로 예측모형의 정확도에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 도시침수모형 최적 간소화를 통해 모형의 복잡성을 줄이고, 계산량을 줄여 모형의 수행시간을 단축시킬 수 있으며, 불필요한 우수관망을 제거하거나 병합함으로써, 모형의 예측력 향상과 분석과 해석에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study investigates a dynamic flexible flow shop scheduling problem under uncertain rework operations for an automobile pipe production line. We propose a weighted dispatching rule (WDR) based on the multiple dispatching rules to minimize the weighted sum of average flowtime and tardiness. The set of weights in WDR should be carefully determined because it significantly affects the performance measures. We build a discrete-event simulation model and propose a genetic algorithm to optimize the set of weights considering complex and variant operations. The simulation experiments demonstrate that WDR outperforms the baseline dispatching rules in average flowtime and tardiness.

This study explored the use of artificial intelligence(AI) to detect foreign bodies in chest X-ray images. Medical imaging, especially chest X-rays, plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases such as pneumonia and lung cancer. With the increase in imaging tests, AI has become an important tool for efficient and fast diagnosis. However, images can contain foreign objects, including everyday jewelry like buttons and bra wires, which can interfere with accurate readings. In this study, we developed an AI algorithm that accurately identifies these foreign objects and processed the National Institutes of Health chest X-ray dataset based on the YOLOv8 model. The results showed high detection performance with accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score all close to 0.91. Despite the excellent performance of AI, the study solved the problem that foreign objects in the image can distort the reading results, emphasizing the innovative role of AI in radiology and its reliability based on accuracy, which is essential for clinical implementation.

The electro-mechanical characteristics were theoretically analyzed for the wideband ultrasonic transducer made of non-uniform thickness piezoelectric vibrator. This paper proposes a combination of exponential functions which describes the thickness variation along the length of the vibrator to derive the input admittance and power transfer function of the transducer. The bandwidth and the power transfer function of the transducer were investigated while the lateral shape of the vibrator changes. The results showed there is an optimum shape for the wideband characteristics of the transducer, and the bandwidth has increased up to over 100% as the ratio of minimum value of thickness to maximum value decreases. However, the power transfer function had a downward trend as the ratio of thickness decreases. Also we confirmed that even though the value of transfer function increases as the length of the piezoelectric vibrator increases, the shape providing wideband characteristics is very limited. It means that precision processing is required to manufacturing a wideband ultrasonic transducer with high efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-laminar fracture toughness characteristics of CFRP pultrusion spar cap materials reinforced with non-woven glass fabric. Test specimens were fabricated by the infusion technique. A non-woven glass fabric and artificial defects were embedded on the middle surface between two pultruded CFRP panels. Double cantilever beam (DCB) and End Notched Flexure (ENF) tests were performed according to ASTM standards. Fracture toughness and crack propagation characteristics were evaluated with load-displacement curves and delamination resistance curves (R-Curve). The fracture toughness results were calculated by compliance calibration (CC) method. The initiation and propagation values of Mode-I critical strain energy release rate value G_Ic were 1.357 kJ/m2 and 1.397 kJ/m2, respectively, and Mode-II critical strain energy release rate values G_IIc were 4.053 kJ/m2 for non-precracked test and 4.547 kJ/m2 for precracked test. It was found that the fracture toughness properties of the CFRP pultrusion spar-cap are influenced by the interface between the layers of CFRP and glass fiber non-woven.

Developing rice lines with various amylose contents is necessary to diverse usages of rice in terms of raw materials for processed food production, and thereby to promote rice consumption in Korea. A rice mutant line, 'Namil(SA)-dull1' was established through sodium azide mutagenesis on 'Namil', a non-glutinous Korean Japonica rice cultivar. Namil(SA)-dull1' had dull endosperm characteristics and the evaluated amylose content was 12.2%. A total of 94 F2 progenies from a cross between 'Namil(SA)-dull1' and 'Milyang23', a non-glutinous Tongil-type rice cultivar, was used for genetic studies on the endosperm amylose content. Association analyses, between marker genotypes of 53 SSR anchor markers and evaluated amylose contents of each 94 F2:3 seeds, initially localized rice chromosome 6 as the harboring place for the modified allele(s) directing low amylose content of 'Namil(SA)-dull1'. By increasing SSR marker density on the putative chromosomal region followed by association analyses, the target region was narrowed down 0.94 Mbp segment, expanding from 28.95 Mbp to 29.89 Mbp, on rice chromosome 6 pseudomolecule. Among the SSR loci, RM7555 explained 84.2% of total variation of amylose contents in the $F_2$ population. Further physical mapping on the target region directing low amylose content of 'Namil(SA)-dull1' would increase the breeding efficiency in developing promising rice cultivars with various endosperm characteristics.

This study was conducted to establish the standard method for the contents of biotin in milk formulas. To optimize the method, we compared several conditions for liquid extraction, purification and instrumental measurement using spiked samples and certified reference material (NIST SRM 1849a) as test materials. LC-MS/MS method for biotin was established using $C_{18}$ column and binary gradient 0.1% formic acid/acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid/water mobile phase is applied for biotin. Product-ion traces at m/z 245.1 ${\rightarrow}$ 227.1, 166.1 are used for quantitative analysis of biotin. The linearity was over $R^2=0.999$ in range of $5{\sim}60{\mu}g/L$. For purification, chloroform was used as a solvent for eliminating lipids in milk formula. The linearity was over 0.999 in range of 5~60 ng/mL. The detection limit and quantification limit were 0.10, 0.31 ng/mL. The accuracy and precision of LC-MS/MS method using CRM were 103%, 2.5% respectively. Optimized methods were applied in sample analysis to verify the reliability. All the tested milk formulas were acceptable contents of biotin compared with component specification and standards for nutrition labeling. The standard operating procedures were prepared for biotin to provide experimental information and to strengthen the management of nutrient in milk formula.
