An irrigated-maize agroecosystem is viewed as an open thermodynamic system upon which solar radiation impresses a large gradient that moves the system away from equilibrium. Following the imperative of the second law of thermodynamics, such agroecosystem resists and reduces the externally applied gradient by using all means of this nature-human coupled system acting together as a nonequilibrium dissipative process. The ultimate purpose of our study is to test this hypothesis by examining the energetics of agroecosystem growth and development. As a first step toward this test, we employed the eddy covariance flux data from 2003 to 2014 at the AmeriFlux NE1 irrigated-maize site at Mead, Nebraska, USA, and analyzed the energetics of this agroecosystem by scrutinizing its radiation, energy and entropy exchange. Our results showed: (1) more energy capture during growing season than non-growing season, and increasing energy capture through growing season until senescence; (2) more energy flow activity within and through the system, providing greater potential for degradation; (3) higher efficiency in terms of carbon uptake and water use through growing season until senescence; and (4) the resulting energy degradation occurred at the expense of increasing net entropy accumulation within the system as well as net entropy transfer out to the surrounding environment. Under the drought conditions in 2012, the increased entropy production within the system was accompanied by the enhanced entropy transfer out of the system, resulting in insignificant net entropy change. Drought mitigation with more frequent irrigation shifted the main route of entropy transfer from sensible to latent heat fluxes, yielding the production and carbon uptake exceeding the 12-year mean values at the cost of less efficient use of water and light.

Continuous monitoring of spatial and temporal changes in key marine environmental parameters such as SST (sea surface temperature) near IORS (Ieodo Ocean Research Station) is demanded to investigate the ocean ecosystem, climate change, and sea-air interaction processes. In this study, we aimed to develop the system for continuously measuring SST using a TIR (thermal infrared) sensor mounted at the IORS. New SST algorithm is developed to provide SST of better quality that includes automatic atmospheric correction and emissivity calculation for different oceanic conditions. Then, the TIR-based SST products were validated against in-situ water temperature measurements during May 17-26, 2015 and July 15-18, 2015 at the IORS, yielding the accuracy of 0.72-0.85 R-square, and $0.37-0.90^{\circ}C$ RMSE. This TIR-based SST observing system can be installed easily at similar Ocean Research Stations such as Sinan Gageocho and Ongjin Socheongcho, which provide a vision to be utilized as calibration site for SST remotely sensed from satellites to be launched in future.

기후변화로 인한 다년 가뭄은 매년 증가하여, 충청남도에 위치한 보령댐과 보령댐으로부터 용수를 공급받는 지자체의 시민들 또한 2015년부터 2017년까지 지속된 가뭄으로 인해 총 127일 동안의 생 공용수 급수조정으로 인한 불편함을 경험하였다. 지금까지 시행된 국내의 다양한 가뭄 피해 저감 정책 설립 과정은 대부분 일방적인 하향식(top-down) 의사결정 과정을 바탕으로 진행되었고, 이는 이해당사자와 정책결정자간의 갈등을 유발했다. 이로 인한 피해를 방지하기 위해 본 연구에서는 참여형(bottom-up) 의사결정 과정 중 하나인 비전공유계획을 충청남도 기후변화 적응 물관리정책 협의회를 통해 적용하였다. 또한, 비전공유계획의 핵심 요소인 비전공유모형을 시스템 다이내믹스 모형의 특성을 포함하여 개발하고자 STELLA Architect 소프트웨어로 보령댐 및 8개 지자체를 포함한 저수지 운영모형을 구축하였고, 총 3차례의 소위원회를 거쳐 수렴한 이해당사자의 요구사항에 따라 개발한 모형을 보완하였다. 구축한 모형으로는 미래에 발생 가능한 가뭄의 위험을 포함하고 있는 기후변화 시나리오에 대한 모의를 진행하였고, 보령댐과 보령댐으로부터 용수를 공급받는 충청남도 서해수역 지자체의 가뭄으로 인한 취약성을 평균부족횟수, 평균부족기간, 평균부족량으로 표현하였다. 모의 결과, 보령댐은 8개 지자체보다 가뭄에 상대적으로 더 취약하며, 8개 지자체에서는 가뭄 대응 대책이 주로 계획되어 있는 지역과 모의에서 가뭄이 발생하는 지역의 불일치로 인한 피해가 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 다른 평가지표에 비해 예측하기 어려운 평균회복기간에 대해서는 댐과 지자체에서 이를 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 비전공유모형을 통한 가뭄 취약성 분석 결과를 미래 회의에서 이해당사자와 공유하고, 용수 공급처과 수요처의 입장에서 용수 부족을 해소할 방안을 모형에 적용함으로써 미래 가뭄 대응 정책 수립 과정에는 참여형으로 의사결정을 할 수 있음을 제안하였다.

The manufacturing-oriented mobility system is being reorganized around the future mobility system represented by electrification, sharing, and autonomy, driven by the social demand for sustainable development. Changes in future mobility systems are expected to accelerate thanks to advances in IT technology. To this end, this study conducted an expert survey (N=23) to predict the direction of changes in the future mobility system. Through the survey, 'mobility sharing' was selected as a key factor in the future mobility system among four future mobility. In addition, 'safety' was selected as the most important service factors in future mobility system among eight future mobility service factors. We hope that the results of this study will be used as basic information to design policies and service directions of preparation for the future mobility system.

Green infrastructure(GI) is considered a key strategy in establishing sustainable communities. However, research on GI from the perspective of urban system dynamics and resilience lacks depth, as does its integration with physical design. This research addresses two primary causes. First, there is a gap in methods between existing GI planning, which considers static variables, and urban modeling research, which addresses dynamic variables. Second, there is a gap in information between landscape design and urban modeling research. To address these issues, this study proposes an integrated modeling approach in consideration of design decision-making. By combining the LEAM model and MCDA model, this study evaluates the relationship between GI services and socioeconomic growth, while spatially forecasting the geographies of GI demand in 2050. The resulting information reveals a potential degradation in ecosystem services over the region due to Chicago's sub-urbanization. This indicates that there would be a spatial shift in GI demand, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, dynamic GI strategies. This study further discusses the applications of evidence-based design in a studio environment. This study aims to contribute to the GeoDesign literature in terms of the creation of a more resilient urban environment by facilitating efficient evidence-based decision-making.

Corporate ESG performance (environmental, social, and corporate governance) reflecting a company's strategic sustainability has emerged as one of the main factors in today's investment decisions. The traditional ESG performance rating process is largely performed in a qualitative and subjective manner based on the institution-specific criteria, entailing limitations in reliability, predictability, and timeliness when making investment decisions. This study attempted to predict the corporate ESG rating through automated machine learning based on quantitative and disclosed corporate financial information. Using 12 types (21,360 cases) of market-disclosed financial information and 1,780 ESG measures available through the Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability during 2019 to 2021, we suggested a deep neural network prediction model. Our model yielded about 86% of accurate classification performance in predicting ESG rating, showing better performance than other comparative models. This study contributed the literature in a way that the model achieved relatively accurate ESG rating predictions through an automated process using quantitative and publicly available corporate financial information. In terms of practical implications, the general investors can benefit from the prediction accuracy and time efficiency of our proposed model with nominal cost. In addition, this study can be expanded by accumulating more Korean and international data and by developing a more robust and complex model in the future.

The government and companies build a DDoS correspondence system hastily to protect assets from cyber threats. It has become more and more intelligent and advanced such as DDoS attack. However, when outbreaks of the social incidents such as 7.7 DDoS attack(2009.7.7) or cases of the direct damage occurred, information security systems(ISS) only become the issue in the short term. As usual, sustained investment about ISS is a negative recognition. Since the characteristic of ISS is hard to recognize the effectiveness of them before incidents occurs. Also, results of incidents occurred classify attack and detection. Detailed and objective measurement criterion to measure effectiveness and efficiency of ISS is not existed. Recently, it is progress that evaluation and certification about for the information security management system(ISMS). Since these works propose only a general guideline, it is difficult to utilize as a result of ISMS improvement for organization. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework to develop main criteria by a correspondence strategy and process. It is able to detailed and objective measurements.

In this paper, we propose a FLL-assisted-PLL based time synchronization algorithm for telemetry systems where frequency and phase errors exist in time synchronization pulse. The telemetry system may analyze the flight state by acquiring the state information in the distributed system. Therefor, in order to collect each state information without errors, precise time synchronization between the master and the slave is required. At this time, the master's time pulse have frequency and phase changes that can be caused by external and internal factors, so a method to maintain precision time synchronization is essential to provide telemetry data continuously. We propose the FLL-assisted-PLL based algorithm that is capable of high-speed synchronization and has high time synchronization accuracy. The proposed algorithm is verified through python simulation, and the VHDL Logic has been implemented in FPGA to check the performance according to the frequency errors and phase errors.
