지금까지 인류의 생활을 영위하기 위해 사용되어온 에너지 자원은 주로 화석연료가 대부분이었다. 대부분의 화석연료는 석유와 석탄으로 구성되어 있으며 그 중에서 석유는 인류의 생활에 없어서는 안될 매우 중요한 에너지 자원이 되었고 여러 방면에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 석유 매장량은 중동지방에 집중되어 있고 매장량이 한정되어 있다. 특히 석유는 국제 정세에 의해 중동지방으로부터의 원유공급이 불확실해질 수 있고 각 지역으로 석유공급을 할 때 관련되는 비용이 높은 문제점을 가지고 있다.(중략)

폐가스-공기 열교환 방식의 열교환기는 각종 산업용 요ㆍ로나 보일러 등에서 배출되는 폐열을 예열공기로 회수하여 연소용공기로 사용하는 에너지 절약방법으로 현재와 같이 고유가가 지속되고, 전 세계적인 공업화에 의한 고도성장과 생활수준의 향상에 따른 에너지 수요 증가, 에너지자원의 매장량의 한계 및 지역적 편중, 산유국이 밀집되어 있는 중동지역의 불투명한 정세를 미루어 볼 매 석유수급, 고유가의 불안요인은 더욱 증가할 것으로 추정된다.(중략)

Four cargo ships were ambushed by bombs in 2019 while navigating in the Strait of Hormuz. It was not clear who attacked those ships, however, many nations including the United States argued that it was Iran due to several reasons. The United States established the maritime collective defense system named International Maritime Security Construct (IMSC) in order to protect the maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, without disclosure against whom it is aimed. Persian, who uses the Persian language unlike other countries in the Middle East, is the major ethnic group in Iran, and most of them believe Shi'ah Islam while most of the Arabs in the Gulf countries adhere to Sunni Islam. It seems that historic and religious motives caused the bipolar system in the Middle East, however, it is plausible to analyze the system of international affairs in the Middle East via defensive or structural realism. Iran has attempted to maintain its hegemony in the region by supporting Shi'ah muslims in the neighboring countries as well as in the world by using military and economic means. In this context, Iran's maritime strategy is to maintain its maritime hegemony on the Persian Gulf via countering threats and cooperating with friendly navies by using the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy(IRIN) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy(IRGCN). IRIN acts like other navies in the world: protecting national interest at sea, expending its operational areas to the outer seas, and enhancing cooperation with other navies. Meanwhile, IRGCN plays a role as an asymmetric force at sea. It is composed of small and fast asymmetric assets, which can ambush ships fast and furious. Considering the poor study for Iran's maritime strategy in Korea, analyzing the strategy is meaningful for the Republic of Korea Navy, which has operated the Cheonghae Unit for more than ten years since it has extended its operational area over the Strait of Hormuz. In order not to be drawn into the conflict in the Strait, research on the maritime strategy of Iran and other countries in the Middle East should be started.

As political circumstances in oversea countries and Korea varies, the risk of vulnerability from unexpected extreme loading conditions, such as explosions or extreme impacts, also increased. In addition, construction companies in Korea recently have taken chances of overseas expansion to countries where their domestic situations are not in rest. Therefore, the resistance of construction materials for blast or impact loading become taking more consideration from engineering field. This study is a part of the research to develop a high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite materials with high volume steel fibers and primary purpose of this study is to find an optimum mix proportions of in-fill slurry. In order to accomplish the tasks this study performed experimental investigations on the slurry for consistency, compressive strength, flowability, J-penetration, bleeding and rheology properties as well as mechanical properties, compressive and flexural strength, with respect to different mix proportions.

최근 중동정세의 변화와 유류 소비의 증가에 따른 유가의 급등과, 일본 지진사태로 일어난 원자력 발전의 안정성에 대한 문제로 인하여 안전하고 깨끗하게 에너지를 생산할 수 있는, 저탄소 녹색성장을 구현할 수 있는 신재생 에너지에 관련된 연구에 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 특히 태양광 에너지를 전기로 변환하여 사용하는 것은 최근 가장 큰 관심사 중 하나이다. 나노결정 Si (nc-Si) 박막은 이러한 광전자 산업 및 태양 에너지 분야에서의 폭넓은 응용 가능성으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 nc-Si 박막의 발광 특성은 비정질 박막내 Si 나노결정에 기인한 양자제한효과(quantum confinement effect)에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 증착시 기판에 AC (alternating current) Bias를 인가하여 PE CVD 기법으로 nc-Si:H 박막을 증착하였다. H2와 SiH4를 각기 45, 20 sccm으로, 100 W의 RF 전압을 주어 플라즈마를 생성하였으며, 60~900 Hz의 주파수 범위에서 60 V의 Bias를 인가하여 박막을 증착하였다. 이들 박막의 결정 크기, 결정화도, 나노 구조 및 광학적, 화학적, 기계적 특성을 XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopey, AFM, PL, Nano indenter 등을 사용하여 조사하였으며, 기판에 인가된 전압과 주파수에 따른 결정크기와 박막의 광학적 특성과 상관관계를 고찰하였다. Bias 전압에 따라 ~1에서 ~4 nm의 크기를 갖는 나노 크리스탈이 생성 되었으며, 최고 10%의 나노결정 분율을 가지는 박막을 증착하였다. 이는 광학적 특성에도 영향을 주어 PL (photoluminescence)의 피크는 470~710 nm의 영역에서 관찰되었다. 또한 AC-Bias의 영향으로 박막 내 응력 해소에도 영향을 주어 박막내 존재하는 응력이 결정에 미치는 영향도 알 수 있었다. 이번 발표에선 증착 조건에 따른 박막의 나노구조 및 광학적 특성의 변화와 이들 간의 상관관계를 발표하고자 한다.

Even though many people loosely term a period of high inflation combined with stagnation "stagflation", it has been very difficult for us to find a more detailed and theoretical definition for such a period. In addition, most economic policy makers have faced some uncertainty and difficulty in identifying stagflation periods through analyzing a lot of economic data. This paper deeply researches the literature on specific definitions of stagflation and provides an empirical method by which we can systematically identify real-time stagflation pressure. Under this method, real-time stagflation pressure can be evaluated as a complex index by using both extensive monthly economic data indicating economic conditions or inflation pressure and a logit regression model. As a result of applying this method to the first half of 2008 in Korea when there was much debate as to whether the Korean economy was experiencing a corresponding stagflation or not, this period is not now evaluated as having been a stagflation period. This paper provides some implications. Namely, we need to put more emphasis on stabilizing inflation expectations.

This study derived big issues in overseas construction through big data analysis. To derive big issues in overseas construction, candidate groups of big issues were identified through big data analysis targeting 53,759 issues including 39,436 issues from major portal sites, 10,387 issues from daily newspapers, and 336 issues in construction magazines from Oct. 1, 2016 to Sep. 30, 2017. The main results are as follows: First, the main issues of overseas construction for the past one year showed that markets were concentrated in Middle East Asia and most of them were low-price order plant projects, which revealed the limitations. Although orders of overseas construction were slightly upward in the first half of 2017 compared to previous year, overseas construction orders are still unstable due to uncertainties in the international affairs and drops in oil prices. Second, the interest topics based on the 8th core keywords of overseas construction among the overseas construction issues for the past one year showed that region (29.9%), corporation environment (22.0%), profitability (17.0%), organizations (15.1%), projects (5.2%), market environment (3.6%), policy and system (3.6%), and education (3.5%) in the order of interest. Third, 10 core issues that have expandability and persistence of discourse were extracted out of 30 issue candidates with regard to eight keywords. Based on the extracted issues, detailed analysis on each of the core issues in overseas construction and correlation analysis between 10 core issues were conducted.

How to determine the extent of national energy security? In this paper, we estimate it by comparative analysis of South Korea and other OECD countries in terms of energy diversity (fuel diversity). Energy security consists of 4 key factors such as availability, accessibility, acceptability, affordability. Especially the importance of accessibility can grow as local imbalance of supply and demand increases. As a proxy of the accessibility, fuel diversity can be a significant indicator to estimate a measure of energy security. In this paper, we use Shannon-Wiener index to measure energy diversity. If fuel diversity increases, the stability of energy security also should increase, because of the smoothing effect to lessen dependence on key energy sources. In 2012 Korean growth rate of H-index (energy diversity) is 18.38%, which is higher than other OECD countries. However, Korean H-index itself is 1.93, lesser than other countries. Shift from oil to coals/gas within fossil fuels has more impact on H-index than weight transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies in Korea. We conclude that more renewable energy is an effective solution to achieve higher energy diversity and ultimately higher energy security as the same as the German case.
