Fluorescent nanoparticles are characterized by their unique properties such as luminescence, optical transparency, and sensitivity to various chemical environments. For example, semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots), which are nanophosphors doped with transition metal or rare earth ions, can be classified as fluorescent nanoparticles. Tuning their optical and physico-chemical properties can be carried out by considering and taking advantage of nanoscale effects. For instance, quantum confinement causes a much higher fluorescence with nanoparticles than with their bulk counterparts. Recently, various types of fluorescent nanoparticles have been synthesized to extend their applications to other fields. In this study, State-of-the-art fluorescent nanoparticles are reviewed with emphasis on their analytical and anti-counterfeiting applications and synthesis processes. Moreover, the fundamental principles behind the exceptional properties of fluorescent nanoparticles are discussed.

본 논문은 프라이빗(허가형) 블록체인을 이용한 인적자원 풀(Pool) 채용 시스템의 구현 방안에 대해서 다룬다. 인적자원(Human Resource)라는 용어가 보편적으로 사용되고 있고, 인력을 자원으로 인식하게 되었다. 이러한 변화에도 불구하고 인적자원 풀의 활용은 부진하다. 한번 입력된 정보는 주기적으로 갱신되지 않는 경우가 많고 공유, 검색, 경력관리 그리고 위변조 방지를 제공하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 프라이빗(허가형) 블록체인을 활용한 인적자원 풀 채용시스템의 제안을 위해 첫 번째, 블록체인 네트워크를 이용하여 인적자원 풀(Pool)의 공유와 검색을 가능하게 하였고, 키워드를 사용하여 특정 조건을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다. 두 번째, 입력되는 데이터의 무결성을 보장하기 위해 기관의 검증 프로세스 추가와 위·변조 방지를 위한 블록체인의 구조적 특성 활용하여 기술 외적인 부분으로 방지 대책을 마련하였다. 세 번째, 블록체인과 사전에 정의된 프로세스와 비즈니스 로직을 3개의 그룹이 각각 제어할 수 있게 Web UI를 포함하는 Dapp(Decentralized application)을 설계 및 구현 하였다.

We face many fascinating and diverse challenges, the most important among which is to determine how to store a large amount of information with novel approaches. Info-convergence ceramic nanosystems, which combine ceramic materials science and information technology, may provide an attractive alternative. This review considers recent multidisciplinary advances in the development of info-convergence nanosystems based on ceramic materials and discusses various strategies under ceramic-based information systems with a special focus on materials and nanohybridization technologies. Ceramic materials have played diverse roles not only as the generic coding support, but also as the central coding substance. The review highlights the ceramic nanohybrid bio code and ceramic nanoparticle optical code for applications in tracking-and-traceability management, nano-forensics, anti-counterfeiting, and even communication, as well as the four steps of encoding, encrypting, decrypting, and decoding for the desired applications. Additionally, associated challenges, potential solutions, and perspectives for future developments in the field are discussed.

SrMoO₄:RE³⁺ (RE=Dy, Sm, Tb, Eu, Dy/Sm) phosphors are prepared by co-precipitation method. The effects of the type and the molar ratio of activator ions on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the phosphor particles are investigated. X-ray diffraction data reveal that all the phosphors have a tetragonal system with a main (112) diffraction peak. The emission spectra of the SrMoO₄ phosphors doped with several activator ions indicate different multicolor emissions: strong yellow-emitting light at 573 nm for Dy³⁺, red light at 643 nm for Sm³⁺, green light at 545 nm for Tb³⁺, and reddish orange light at 614 nm for Eu³⁺ activator ions. The Dy³⁺ singly-doped SrMoO₄ phosphor shows two dominant emission peaks at 479 and 573 nm corresponding to the ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 magnetic dipole transition and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 electric dipole transition, respectively. For Dy³⁺ and Sm³⁺ doubly-doped SrMoO₄ phosphors, two kinds of emission peaks are observed. The two emission peaks at 479 and 573 nm are attributed to ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ and two emission bands centered at 599 and 643 nm are ascribed to ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_7/2 and ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_9/2 transitions of Sm³⁺. As the concentration of Sm³⁺ increases from 1 to 5 mol%, the intensities of the emission bands of Dy³⁺ gradually decrease; those of Sm³⁺ slowly increase and reach maxima at 5 mol% of Sm³⁺ ions, and then rapidly decrease with increasing molar ratio of Sm³⁺ ions due to the concentration quenching effect. Fluorescent security inks based on as-prepared phosphors are synthesized and designed to demonstrate an anti-counterfeiting application.

The purposes of the study are threefold: (1) develop key successful factors of blockchain platform for micro-enterprises based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC), (2) find out the correlation between the key successful factors of blockchain platform for micro-enterprises, and (3) understand the perception of micro-enterprise blockchain and the difference between theoretical guidance and practical application. This study combines Interpretative Structural Modeling Method, (ISM) and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to analyze the causal relationships and hierarchical structures of the 12 key successful factors of blockchain platform for micro-enterprises and understand the correlation between factors. The 12 key successful factors developed based on the four perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard, and the questionnaire designs based on the concept of DEMATEL, and then analyzed data by DEMATEL and ISM methods to understand the correlation between key factors. The research results show that the key successful factors of blockchain platform for micro-enterprises include "brand equity", "security and anti-counterfeiting", "sales growth", "transparency and clear", "trust", "consensus mechanism", "traceability", "consistency", "tracking", "innovation management", "international", "organizational adaptation", in which consumer "trust" plays an important role. Micro-enterprises can use blockchain to expand the market, provide customers with better service quality, and bring sales growth to micro-enterprises.

Current food-traceability platforms suffer from problems such as inconsistent traceability standards, a lack of public credibility, and slow access to data. In this work, a combined code and identification method was designed that can achieve more secure product traceability using the dual anti-counterfeiting technology of a QR code and a hidden code. When the QR code is blurry, the hidden code can still be used to effectively identify food information. Based on this combined code, a food-safety traceability platform was developed. The platform follows unified encoding standards and provides standardized interfaces. Based on this innovation, the platform not only can serve individual food-traceability systems development, but also connect existing traceability systems. These will help to solve the problems such as non-standard traceability content, inconsistent processes, and incompatible system software. The experimental results show that the combined code has higher accuracy. The food-safety traceability platform based on the combined code improves the safety of the traceability process and the integrity of the traceability information. The innovation of this paper is invoking the combined code united the QR code's rapidity and the hidden code's reliability, developing a platform that uses a unified coding standard and provides a standardized interface to resolve the differences between multi-food-traceability systems. Among similar systems, it is the only one that has been connected to the national QR code identification platform. The project has made profits and has significant economic and social benefits.

인공지능을 이용하여 예측이나 분석하는 기술은 지속적으로 발전하고 있지만, 의사결정 과정을 명확히 해석하지 못하는 블랙박스 문제가 존재한다. 따라서 인공지능 모델의 의사결정 과정에서 사용자의 입장에서 해석이 불가능하여 결과를 신뢰할 수 없는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 인공지능의 문제점과 이를 해결하기 위한 블록체인을 활용한 설명 가능한 인공지능에 대해 연구를 진행하였다. 블록체인을 이용해서 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 의사결정 과정에서의 데이터를 타임스탬프 등을 이용하여 부분별로 블록체인에 저장한다. 블록체인을 이용하여 저장된 데이터의 위변조 방지를 제공하고 블록체인의 특성상 사용자는 블록에 저장된 의사결정 과정등의 데이터를 자유롭게 접근할 수 있다. 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 구축이 힘든 것은 기존 모델의 복잡성이 큰 부분을 차지한다. 따라서 포인트 클라우드를 활용해서 3차원 데이터 처리와 가공과정의 효율성을 높여서 의사결정 과정을 단축해 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 구축을 원활하게 한다. 블록체인에 데이터 저장과정에서 데이터 위변조가 발생할 수 있는 오라클 문제를 해결하기 위해 저장과정에 중간자를 거치는 블록체인 기반의 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델을 제안하여 인공지능의 블랙박스 문제를 해결하였다.
