  • Purpose: Conventional headland turning typically requires repeated forward and backward movements to move the farming equipment to the next row. This research focuses on developing an upland agricultural robot with an optimized headland turning mechanism that enables a $180^{\circ}$ turning positioning to the next row in one steering motion designed for a two-wheel steering, four-wheel drive agricultural robot named the HADA-bot. The proposed steering mechanism allows for faster turnings at each headland compared to those of the conventional steering system. Methods: The HADA-bot was designed with 1.7-m wide wheel tracks to travel along the furrows of a garlic bed, and a look-ahead path following algorithm was applied using a real-time kinematic global positioning system signal. Pivot turning tests focused primarily on accuracy regarding the turning radius for the next path matching, saving headland turning time, area, and effort. Results: Several test cases were performed by evaluating right and left turns on two different surfaces: concrete and soil, at three speeds: 1, 2, and 3 km/h. From the left and right side pivot turning results, the percentage of lateral deviation is within the acceptable range of 10% even on the soil surface. This U-turn scheme reduces 67% and 54% of the headland turning time, and 36% and 32% of the required headland area compared to a 50 hp tractor (ISEKI, TA5240, Ehime, Japan) and a riding-type cultivator (CFM-1200, Asia Technology, Deagu, Rep. Korea), respectively. Conclusion: The pivot turning trajectory on both soil and concrete surfaces achieved similar results within the typical operating speed range. Overall, these results prove that the pivot turning mechanism is suitable for improving conventional headland turning by reducing both turning radius and turning time.

  • Recently, with an emphasis on software proficiency, universities are providing software education to all students regardless of their majors. However, non-majors often lack motivation for software education and perceive the unfamiliar learning content as more challenging. To address this issue, tailored software education according to the learners' characteristics is essential. Art students, for instance, with their strong visual comprehension and expressive abilities, can benefit from utilizing visual literacy to enhance the effectiveness of programming education. In this study, we propose decomposing everyday problems into flowcharts and pseudocode to construct procedural and visual images. Using the educational programming language PlayBot, we aim to analyze the effectiveness of teaching by coding to solve problems. Through this approach, students are expected to grasp programming concepts, understand problem-solving processes through computational thinking, and acquire skills to apply programming in their respective fields.

  • Using the fixed point method, we prove the Ulam-Hyers stability of the orthogonally additive and orthogonally quadratic functional equation $$f(\frac{x}{2}+y)+f(\frac{x}{2}-y)+f(\frac{x}{2}+z)+f(\frac{x}{2}-z)=\frac{3}{2}f(x)-\frac{1}{2}f(-x)+f(y)+f(-y)+f(z)+f(-z)$$ (0.1) for all $x$, $y$, $z$ with $x{\bot}y$, in orthogonality Banach spaces and in non-Archimedean orthogonality Banach spaces.

  • The reaction of $Os_3(CO)_{10}(NCMe)_2$ with a tungsten alkylidyne $Cp(CO)_2W{\equiv}CTol(Cp={\eta}^5-C_5H_5,\;Tol=p-C_6H_4Me)$ produces the compound, $CpWOs_3(CO)_{11}({\mu}_3-CTol)$(1). The structure of compound 1 can be viewed as one in which the metalla-alkyne, $Cp(CO)_2W{\equiv}CTol$, is ${\mu}_3-{\eta}^2-{\bot}$ (perpendicular) bound to an $Os_3(CO)_9$ fragment. Variable-temperature $^{13}C$ NMR spectra of 1 show no evidence for the analogous rotation of the metalla-alkyne molecule as shown alkyne rotation in $Os_3(CO)_9(C_2Tol_2)$ compound. This lack of the metalla-alkyne fluxionality supports the apparent saturated nature of compound 1.

  • Inoculation of human fecal cysts to suckling Mongolian gerbils, two Giardia lamblia isolates, Kl and K2, were established as axenic cultures. Using this in vitro culture, both two Giardia isolates were grouped by using two genetic analysis. With genetic analysis of SSS-rDNA sequences, both K1 and K2 were found as members of hopkins'group 1, despite some nucleotide differences noticed in K1 (5 differences/292 bases.). The other genetic study used PCI-RFLP of the tim (triose phosphate isomerase) Nash's group 2 can bot be a separate group, but a part of Hopkins' group 1.

  • Copper(II) sorbed on kaolinite (KGa-lb) was studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The sorbed copper(II) had an isotropic EPR signal with $g_{iso}\;=\;2.19$ at room temperature. At 77 K, the isotropic signal converted to an axially symmetric anisotropic signal with $g_{\$\mid$}\;=\;2.40,\;g_{\bot}\;=\;2.08,\;and\;A_{\$\mid$}\;=\;131\;G$. These EPR results suggest that the sorbed copper(II) forms an outer-sphere surface complex with a tetragonally distorted $CuO_{6}$ octahedral structure on the kaolinite. In the sorption measurement, the amount of sorbed copper increased with increasing pH of the solution. However, the intensity of the isotropic EPR line was not directly proportional to the amount of sorbed copper. This discrepancy was resolved by assuming the formation of a surface precipitate at higher pH that is invisible by EPR. The EXAFS data confirmed the existence of the surface precipitate. The best fit for the EXAFS of the sorbed copper showed that each copper on the kaolinite had 6.8 copper neighbors located $3.08\;{\AA}$ from it, in addition to the first shell oxygen neighbors, including 4 equatorial O at $1.96\;{\AA}$ and 2 axial O at $2.31\;{\AA}$. This work shows that the local environment of the copper sorbed on the kaolinite changes as a function of pH and surface loading, and that the EPR and EXAFS are useful in studying such changes.

  • 대한민국 정부는 '재생에너지 3020 계획'에 따라 2030년까지 재생에너지 발전 비중을 20%까지 확대하겠다는 방침을 세웠다. 목표 달성을 위한 태양광발전은 30.8GW을 신규설비로 확보해야 하지만 신재생에너지를 설치할 수 있는 공간은 한정되어 있어 추가적인 공간이 문제가 된다. $297km^2$의 건물 부지를 소관하고 있는 군(軍)은 공공기관 중 가장 넓은 부지를 보유한 단일 기관이다. 이러한 군 유휴공간을 활용한 민간투자방식의 태양광 발전사업 경제적 타당성을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 경제적 효과를 RETScreen을 통해 분석하였고, 그 결과 내부수익률(IRR) 10.7%로 경제적 타당성이 입증되어 민간투자의 사업성을 확인하였다. SWOT분석 결과에 따르면 군 태양광 BOT사업은 전력 모니터링 및 유지보수 등 사업 전 과정에서 보안 요소가 발생하지만, 강한 규제의 산지 및 임야의 대안으로 표준화된 군사시설이, 한 번의 설계로, 유휴공간에 대량 설치가 가능한, 모듈화의 이점을 가지고 있었다.

  • The preliminary security assessment is an information security process to analyze security weaknesses before beginning of services. Discovering security weakness through preliminary security assessment is highly required because it costs much when security incident occur in the middle of service operation. However, this assessment is not widely spread in the online game service domain yet. In this paper, we summarize the security risk existed in the online game service, and we classify the security requirements related to the each risk. Also, through the case study, we evaluated the effectiveness of preliminary security assessment in this domain. In addition, we suggest checklists that should be reviewed once in game-client side, network-side and game-server side for the purpose of security enhancement.

  • BaM films have a lot of advantage of chemical stability and mechanical stability as compared with a metallic thin film. In this paper, (Ba.Pb)M films have been prepared by using dc magnetron sputtering system and the dependences of their crystallographic characteristics and magnetic properties on oxygen pressure($Po_{2}$) were studied. The films prepared at $Po_{2}$ of around 0.02mTorr exhibit a fine particle-like structure and ${\Delta}{\theta}_{50}$ is as small as $1^{\circ}$. $Hc_{\bot},\;Hc_{//}$ and Ms of (Ba.Pb)M films are 700-800Oe, 200Oe and 180-230emu/cc, respectively.

  • AI-powered robot news is drawing attention as artificial intelligence technology is fully spread in the news distribution field. Robot news still has many technical and ethical problems, but academic research on this is insufficient. This study analyzes the issue of robot writing in artificial intelligent based robot journalism industry using SWOT analysis. As a result, the advantages of big data processes, accurate information gathering, high efficiency and disadvantages such as lack of independent arguments and lack of evidence and opportunities for technical development, government support, academic development, and industrial applications, and threats such as uncritical acceptance and lack of talent have been found. This study suggests three future-oriented directions, such as human-machine collaboration, intelligent news, and chat-bot, through previous studies on the development direction of robot journalism-based article writing.
