본 연구의 목적은 위성영상 기반의 SEBAL(Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) 모형과 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 수문모형을 용담댐 유역($922.3km^2$)에 적용하여 증발산량을 산정하고 모형 간 공간 증발산량의 비교를 통해 각 모형의 적용성을 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위해 SEBAL모형의 입력자료로 Terra MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) Product 중 Normalized Distribution Vegetation Index(NDVI), Albedo 영상을 2012년부터 2013년까지 월단위로 구축하고, 일단위의 Land Surface Temperature(LST) 영상을 구축하였다. 지형자료로는 Digital Elevation Model(DEM)과 Land use를 구축하였으며 SEBAL 모형의 구동을 위한 위성영상 및 지형자료는 500 m의 공간해상도로 재구축하였다. SWAT 모형의 모의를 위해 기상 및 유량 자료를 2000년부터 2013년까지 일단위로 구축하였고, DEM, Land use, 토양도의 지형자료를 30 m의 공간해상도로 구축하였다. SWAT 모형의 유출 검보정 후 수위관측소 지점에서 평균 $R^2$를 산정한 결과 도치(0.80), 동향(0.72), 석정(0.64), 주천(0.80), 천천(0.80), 용담댐(0.72)로 높은 상관성을 나타냈으며, 유출 검보정 후 SWAT 모형의 증발산량 모의 결과를 바탕으로 SEBAL 모형과의 공간 증발산량을 비교하였다. 두 모형의 증발산량은 SEBAL 모형의 경우 지형에 따라 SWAT 모형은 토양 특성에 따라 분포하는 경향이 다르게 나타났다. SEBAL 모형은 주로 저지대에서 증발산량이 높게 산정되며 고지대로 갈수록 감소하여 증발산량이 지형의 고저차에 따라 분포하는 모습을 보였다. SWAT 모형은 토양 특성에 따라 증발산량이 분포하며 유역 내에서 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 월별 총 증발산량은 SWAT 모형의 경우 7~8월에 약 90 mm/mon로 가장 높게 나타나고 1~2월은 0 mm/mon로 계절별 변화폭이 컸으나, SEBAL 모형의 경우 5~6월에 증발산량이 약 60 mm/mon로 가장 높게 나타났고 계절별 변화 폭이 SWAT 모형에 비해 적은 모습을 보였다. 이는 위성영상을 기반으로 하는 SEBAL 모형의 특성상 장마 기간에 해당하는 7~8월은 구름으로 인해 일사량이 적게 계산되고, 그 결과 5~6월에 비해 증발산량이 작게 산정되는 것으로 판단된다.

NUCB2/nesfatin-1 is first known to be expressed in the hypothalamus while controlling appetite and energy metabolism. However, recent studies have shown that NUCB2/nesfatin-1 was expressed in the various organs as well as the hypothalamus. Our previous reports also demonstrated that NUCB2/nesfatin-1 was expressed in the ovary, testis, pituitary gland, lung, kidney, and stomach of fetal and adult mice. However, the role of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in mouse fetus remains unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether NUCB2/nestatin-1 is expressed in mouse fetus at the developmental stage in which organogenesis begins. To do this, we performed in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining to examine the distribution of NUCB2 mRNA and nesfatin-1 protein in the mouse fetal organs during early developmental stages, especially at embryonic day (E) 10.5. As a result of ISH, NUCB2 mRNA positive signals were more frequent in the liver, but there were relatively few positive signals in heart. On the other hand, no positive signals were detected in other organs. These ISH results were validated by IHC staining and qRT-PCR analysis. Expression of nesfatin-1 protein detected by IHC staining was similar to that of NUCB2 mRNA detected by ISH in the liver and heart. In addition, the levels of NUCB2 mRNA expression analyzed by qRT-PCR were significantly increased in the liver and heart compared to other organs of the mouse fetus at E13.5, whereas its level was extensively decreased in the liver, but increased in the lung, stomach, and kidney of the mouse fetus at E17.5. These results suggest that NUCB2/nesfatin-1 may play an important role in liver and heart development and physiological functions in the developmental process of mouse fetus. Further studies are needed on the function of NUCB2/nesfatin-1, which is highly expressed in the various organs, including liver and heart during mouse development.

We investigated the magnetic properties of Fe nanostripes by using the all electron full-potenial linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) energy band method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The magnetic moments of the Fe atoms in the edge Fe chains of the stripes composed of three, five, and seven chains have saturated values of 2.97 or 2.98 ${\mu}_B$, and the values of the center chains are 2.82 ${\mu}_B$ which is similar to that of 2D square lattice. The charge and spin density contour plots showed that the flat distribution in the edge region of the stripes, and it is due to the spilled out p-electrons from the atoms in the edge line. The calculated density of states for the edge atoms in the stripes with seven Fe chains showed that the narrowed width compared to that of center atoms due to the band narrowing effect at the edge.

An electrical resistance tomography (ERT) technique combining the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the Gauss-Newton method is applied to the visualization of two-phase flows. In the ERT, the electrical conductivity distribution, namely the conductivity values of pixels (numerical meshes) comprising the domain in the context of a numerical image reconstruction algorithm, is estimated with the known injected currents through the electrodes attached on the domain boundary and the measured potentials on those electrodes. In spite of many favorable characteristics of ERT such as no radiation, low cost, and high temporal resolution compared to other tomography techniques, one of the major drawbacks of ERT is low spatial resolution due to the inherent ill-posedness of conventional image reconstruction algorithms. In fact, the number of known data is much less than that of the unknowns (meshes). Recalling that binary mixtures like two-phase flows consist of only two substances with distinct electrical conductivities, this work adopts the PSO algorithm for mesh grouping to reduce the number of unknowns. In order to verify the enhanced performance of the proposed method, several numerical tests are performed. The comparison between the proposed algorithm and conventional Gauss-Newton method shows significant improvements in the quality of reconstructed images.

Present electric grids are advanced to integrate smart grids, distributed resources, high-speed sensing and control, and other advanced metering technologies. Cybersecurity is one of the challenges of the smart grid and nuclear plant digital system. It affects the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), for grid data communication and controls the information in real-time. The research article is emphasized solving the nuclear and smart grid hardware security issues with the integration of field programmable gate array (FPGA), and implementing the latest Time Authenticated Cryptographic Identity Transmission (TACIT) cryptographic algorithm in the chip. The cryptographic-based encryption and decryption approach can be used for a smart grid distribution system embedding with FPGA hardware. The chip design is carried in Xilinx ISE 14.7 and synthesized on Virtex-5 FPGA hardware. The state of the art of work is that the algorithm is implemented on FPGA hardware that provides the scalable design with different key sizes, and its integration enhances the grid hardware security and switching. It has been reported by similar state-of-the-art approaches, that the algorithm was limited in software, not implemented in a hardware chip. The main finding of the research work is that the design predicts the utilization of hardware parameters such as slices, LUTs, flip-flops, memory, input/output blocks, and timing information for Virtex-5 FPGA synthesis before the chip fabrication. The information is extracted for 8-bit to 128-bit key and grid data with initial parameters. TACIT security chip supports 400 MHz frequency for 128-bit key. The research work is an effort to provide the solution for the industries working towards embedded hardware security for the smart grid, power plants, and nuclear applications.

Sea wind isrecently drawing attraction as one of the sources of renewable energy. Thisstudy describes a new method to produce a 10 m resolution sea wind field using Sentinel-1 images and low-resolution NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) data with artificial intelligence technique. The experiment for the South East coast in Korea, 2015-2020,showed a 40% decreased MAE (Mean Absolute Error) than the generic CMOD (C-band Model) function, and the CC (correlation coefficient) of our method was 0.901 and 0.826, respectively, for the U and V wind components. We created 10m resolution sea wind maps for the study area, which showed a typical trend of wind distribution and a spatially detailed wind pattern as well. The proposed method can be applied to surveying for wind power and information service for coastal disaster prevention and leisure activities.

In this study, an electron-scattering device was fabricated to practically use the ultra-high dose rate electron beams for the FLASH preclinical research in Dongnam Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences. The Dongnam Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences has been involved in the investigation of linear accelerators for preclinical research and has recently implemented FLASH electron beams. To determine the geometry of the scattering device for the FLASH preclinical research with a 6-MeV linear accelerator, the Monte Carlo N-particle transport code was exploited. By employing the fabricated scattering device, the off-axis and depth dose distributions were measured with radiochromic films. The generated mean energy of electron beams via the scattering device was 4.3 MeV, and the symmetry and flatness of the off-axis dose distribution were 0.11% and 2.33%, respectively. Finally, the doses per pulse were obtained as a function of the source to surface distance (SSD); the measured dose per pulse varied from 4.0 to 0.2 Gy/pulse at an SSD range of 20-90 cm. At an SSD of 30 cm with a 100-Hz repetition rate, the dose rate was 180 Gy/s, which is sufficient for the preclinical FLASH studies.

An AMD control system is usually built based on the original model of a target building. As a result, the fact leads a large calculation workload exists. Therefore, the orders of a structural model should be reduced appropriately. Among various model-reduction methods, a suitable reduced-order model is important to high-rise buildings. Meanwhile, a partial structural information is discarded directly in the model-reduction process, which leads to the accuracy reduction of its controller design. In this paper, an optimal technique is selected through comparing several common model-reduction methods. Then, considering the dynamic characteristics of a high-rise building, an improved balanced truncation (BT) method is proposed for establishing its reduced-order model. The abandoned structural information, including natural frequencies, damping ratios and modal information of the original model, is reconsidered. Based on the improved reduced-order model, a new reduced-order controller is designed by a regional pole-placement method. A high-rise building with an AMD system is regarded as an example, in which the energy distribution, the control effects and the control parameters are used as the indexes to analyze the performance of the improved reduced-order controller. To verify its effectiveness, the proposed methodology is also applied to a four-storey experimental frame. The results demonstrate that the new controller has a stable control performance and a relatively short calculation time, which provides good potential for structural vibration control of high-rise buildings.

As the spread of DC power distribution systems increases, the occurrence of failures and fire accidents are also increasing. In particular, the ESS fire accident, which is a component of the smart grid, and the fire accident of the solar power system, which is a direct current system, are caused by problems in the electrical connection between system components as the supply of new and renewable energy rapidly increases and old facilities increase. An arc that can cause a direct fire by releasing the induced light and heat has been pointed out as one of the causes of fire. Therefore, the problem of such an arc defect is that it is impossible to block an arc accident in advance with the existing overcurrent circuit breaker and earth leakage circuit breaker. In this paper, we intend to develop a test equipment that satisfies international standardization and to develop a DC arc generator to protect against failure and fire caused by arcing.
