Urban air mobility (UAM) is emerging as a revolutionary transportation solution to urban congestion and environmental issues. Especially, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are expected to enhance urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and decrease environmental pollution. However, the successful implementation and operation of UAM systems heavily rely on advanced technological infrastructure, particularly in sensor technology. Among these, 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems are essential for detecting obstacles and generating pathways in complex urban environments. This paper focuses on the challenges of developing LiDAR-based perception solutions, emphasizing the importance and performance of object detection capabilities using 3D LiDAR. It integrates LiDAR data processing algorithms and object detection methodologies to experimentally validate the effectiveness of perception solutions that contribute to the safe navigation of aircraft. This research significantly enhances the ability of aircraft to recognize and avoid obstacles effectively within urban settings.

자원의 고갈과 지구환경오염의 심각성을 인지하는 시각이 늘어남에 따라 산업계에서도 친환경적 기술에 대한 다양한 연구 개발이 이슈가 되고 있다. 정전기력 잉크젯 패터닝 기술 또한 그 예라 할 수 있겠는데, 이는 기존인쇄 기술의 시각적인 표현의 개념을 벗어나 패턴 자체의 기능을 부여함으로써 그 가치를 높이고, 현존하는 각종 미세 패터닝 기술의 다공정성과 환경에 미치는 영향 등의 문제점을 개선 할 수 있는 기술이라 할 수 있겠다. 정전기력 잉크젯 패터닝 기술은 이미 60~70년대부터 연구 개발 되어왔던 정전기력이 유체에 미치는 영향을 제어하여 극소량 미세 액적 토출 및 분무를 이끌어 내는 기술을 기반으로 토출되는 노즐 헤드의 직경 대비 극 미량의 기능성 잉크를 토출하고, 서브마이크론(submicron)급의 패턴 인쇄를 가능케 한다. 본 논문에서는 정전기력 잉크젯 패터닝 공정의 요소기술을 기반으로 프린팅 장비를 설계 및 제작하고, 미세 액적 토출을 위한 수마이크론의 직경을 갖는 노즐 헤드를 개발 및 프린팅 장비에 대응하여 통합 제어 프로그램을 이용한 기판상의 미세 패터닝 실험을 실시하였다. 정전기력 기반 미세 패터닝 실험의 공정 변수를 잉크의 특성, 노즐헤드의 특성, 기판의 특성, 장비의 특성으로 구분지어 공정 시스템의 성능을 검토 및 기능성 잉크의 미세 패터닝을 구현 하였다.

고유가와 환경오염 문제로 '탈 화석연료'가 모든 제조업계의 화두가 되고 있는 가운데 대표적인 신재생에너지 중 하나인 태양전지의 기술개발에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 유럽신재생에너지협회의 전망에 따르면 2001년부터 2020년까지 전체 에너지 중 신재생 에너지의 비중은 2001년 19% 수준에서 2020년 35% 수준까지 빠르게 증가할 것으로 보고 있다. 이 전망에 따르면 2020년에는 2001년의 3배 수준에 이르러 같은 기간의 약 1.7배 증가할 것으로 예상되어 전체 에너지 소비량 증가율을 크게 상회할 전망이다. 우리나라의 경우 태양전지 기술은 걸음마 단계로 아직 기술 성숙도는 높지 않으나 최근 폴리실리콘 기반의 실리콘웨이퍼 태양전지 등 활발한 기술개발이 이뤄지고 있다. 본 고에서는 태양전지가 왜 부각되고 있고, 원리는 무엇인지와, 차세대 태양전지로 각광받고 있는 박막 태양전지, 유기 태양전지 등에 관해 소개했다.

In the past, interest in air pollution was concentrated on greenhouse gases, but in recent years, interest in fine dust has been increasing. The media and environmental organizations continue to emphasize air pollution caused by fine dust. The awareness of fine dust is increasing, and air pollution generated at ports is analyzed to be serious as a domestic factor excluding foreign inflows. Recognizing this, in order to reduce air pollution generated at ports, special laws on improving air quality, such as port areas, have been enacted in Korea, and attempts are being made to curb air pollution caused by ports. In this law, it is a policy that regulates air pollutants generated not only by ships but also throughout ports such as vehicles and unloading machines, and representative are ECA, VSR, and AMP. This study attempted to analyze the effects of these eco-friendly policies at Incheon Port. First of all, a study was conducted to calculate emissions assuming that there was no policy, analyze each policy, and finally calculate and compare actual emissions reflecting all policies. The methodology presented by the European Environmental Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was used, and pollutants to be analyzed were analyzed for sulfur oxides (SO_X), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO_X), total floating substances (TSP), fine dust and ultrafine dust (PM₁₀, PM_2.5) and ammonia (NH₃). As a result of the analysis, it was analyzed that the actual emission reflecting all policies was about 4,097 tons/year, which had an emission reduction effect of about 760 tons/year compared to about 4,857 tons/year when the policy was not reflected. When the effects of each policy were analyzed individually, it was found that ECA 4,111 tons/year, VSR 4,854 tons/year, and AMP 4,843 tons of air pollutant emissions occurred The results of this study can be used as basic data and evidence for policy establishment related to the atmospheric environment at Incheon Port.

The Philippines is abundant with rich natural resources such as water. Because of rapid urbanization in the country, most of the water bodies are polluted as a result of domestic, agricultural and industrial activities. The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) is the main government arm responsible for monitoring and inspection of affected water bodies. Only water bodies with at least four sampling events during dry and wet seasons were included in the assessment of water bodies that passed the DAO 90-34 water quality criteria. Water bodies were monitored for dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals, fecal coliform contamination and nitrates. High pollutant concentrations from domestic, agricultural, industrial and nonpoint sources were observed from monitoring events due to inadequate sewage services and treatment facilities in the country. The objective of this paper was to present and evaluate the quality of the water bodies in the Philippines.

This paper designed 3D animation in consideration of young children's characteristics to stimulate their interest and to be more understandable to them. It was also confirmed that, using the 3D animation contents, young children came to recognize the problem of environment pollution and developed desirable attitude and behavior for protecting the environment. Therefore, this paper suggested the proper environment education activity materials with our environment culture centered to enable teachers to do efficient and practical environment conservation education activities by forming close relationship between teachers and children's family.

Through the automatic sensing of the environment, USN technology can give the best services. In this work, we have developed an active RFID system and examined its performance. By implementing it into water quality sensors, we constructed a system that can detect diverse indoor/outdoor environment and provide information about the pollution level obtained from the temperature and PH sensors. Our RF system had an internal Print-on-PCB antenna for the miniaturization of the tag. We used a RF transceiver CC2510 chipset of TI company to realize the active RFID function. By using RSSI constants obtained, we performed the evaluation of real time location accuracy with a software written in Labview. Among 10 arbitrary locations, we obtained average measurement errors of 1.69 m in x axis and 1.66 m in y axis. This technology can be applied to logistics, environmental monitoring, prevention of missing children and various applications.

This study was designed to investigate the biochemical pollutant marker for diagnosis of marine pollutions by the changes in lipid components of the flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus) in the Yellow Sea of Korea. Hemoglobin levels in serum of wild flounders in the yellow Sea were significantly lower $(15\~30\%)$ than those of wild flounder in Pohang (control) of the East Sea. Triglyceride (TG) contents in serum of wild flounders in the Yellow Sea were higher $(15\~50\%)$ than those of wild flounder in Pohang. Total and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol contents in serum of flounders in the Yellow Sea were significantly higher $(20\~25\%\;and\;15\~35\%,\;respectively)$ than those of wild flounder in Pohang. Atherogenic index (Al) in serum of wild flounders in the Yellow Sea were significantly higher $(10\~60\%)$ than these of wild flounder in Pohang but T-Chol/PL ratios showed almost no change in serum of flounders in the Yellow Sea we examined. These results suggest that near-coastal water as well as neritic water of the Yellow Sea might be affected by pollutant input.
