Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is a cost-effective technique to fabricate metallic mirrors. In particular, the servo-assisted diamond turning option is highly useful for the fabrication of freeform surfaces. However, the SPDT process leaves periodic tool marks on machined mirror surfaces, leading to undesirable diffraction effect, as well as the deviation of input beam. In order to solve this problem, we propose new SPDT machining conditions to minimize tool marks. We will also show the results from optical measurement and Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis to evaluate the expectable performance for applications in wide field infrared telescopes.

The United States (US) National Science Foundation's (NSF's) National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale observation facility, constructed and operated by Battelle, that collects long-term ecological data to better understand and forecast how US ecosystems are changing. All data and samples are collected using standardized methods at 81 field sites across the US and are freely and openly available through the NEON data portal, application programming interface (API), and the NEON Biorepository. NSF led a decade-long design process with the research community, including numerous workshops to inform the key features of NEON, culminating in a formal final design review with an expert panel in 2009. The NEON construction phase began in 2012 and was completed in May 2019, when the observatory began the full operations phase. Full operations are defined as all 81 NEON sites completely built and fully operational, with data being collected using instrumented and observational methods. The intent of the NSF is for NEON operations to continue over a 30-year period. Each challenge encountered, problem solved, and risk realized on NEON offers up lessons learned for constructing and operating distributed ecological data collection infrastructure and data networks. NEON's construction phase included offices, labs, towers, aquatic instrumentation, terrestrial sampling plots, permits, development and testing of the instrumentation and associated cyberinfrastructure, and the development of community-supported collection plans. Although colocation of some sites with existing research sites and use of mostly "off the shelf" instrumentation was part of the design, successful completion of the construction phase required the development of new technologies and software for collecting and processing the hundreds of samples and 5.6 billion data records a day produced across NEON. Continued operation of NEON involves reexamining the decisions made in the past and using the input of the scientific community to evolve, upgrade, and improve data collection and resiliency at the field sites. Successes to date include improvements in flexibility and resilience for aquatic infrastructure designs, improved engagement with the scientific community that uses NEON data, and enhanced methods to deal with obsolescence of the instrumentation and infrastructure across the observatory.

In this study, the installation location of accelerometer and accelerograph for dam are investigated in the field to establish of emergency action against dam failure when earthquake occur and to guarantee the results of seismic stability of dams which are analysed with dynamic analysis method during 1999 to 2003 by KOWACO. By a comparative study concerning of domestic and foreign guidelines of seismic strong motion instrumentation for dams, "Guidelines of Seismic Strong-Motion Instrumentation Installation, Operation and Maintenance for Dams" is established to set up the standard of seismic strong-motion instrumentation for dam, are supervised by KOWACO There is some problems in taking a measure of stability of dams when earthquake event occur because the existing seismic strong motion instruments are operated independently. This make difficult to confirm the occurrence of seismic event. For that reason, in this study the plan of unified operation and maintenance system for strong-motion instrument for dams is designed. It will make possible real-time seismic monitoring, data transmission and receiving, giving warning for earthquake, and exchanging data with national seismic network.

Thin films (< 30 nm) of titanium carbide (TiC) are coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are directly grown on nano-sized ($\sim$ 500 nm in diameter) conical-type tungsten (W) tips, by employing an inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) technique. Any modification in structural properties (such as length to diameter ratio, crystal quality, and growth behavior) of CNTs due to TiC-coating has been monitored by using high-resolution TEM, field-emission SEM, and Raman spectroscopy. Driving voltage for obtaining the same level of emission current in CNTs-emitter is significantly reduced by TiC-coating. It is also worthy of being noted that the degradation of emission current due to prolonged operation (up to 30 h) is remarkably suppressed by TiC-coating.

Diamond films including nanocystalline and graphite phase are grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using $N_2$ additives and negative substrate bias at growth step. The microstructure of the films is controlled by changing $N_2$ gas ratio and negative bias. Defects and grain boundaries between diamond and graphite are proposed to be crucial factors for forming the conducting path of electron emissions. The effect of growth parameters on the film microstructure are investigated by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electron emission characteristics are also examined in terms of the film growth conditions.

본 연구에서는 배수형 쉴드터널 적용시 작용수압의 저감을 평가하기 위해 모형실험장치를 개발하여 배수 및 비배수 조건에서 작용수압 차이를 실험하였다. 모형실험 결과 배수 조건에서 간극수압 증가율이 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 비배수 조건에 비해 전응력이 더 작게 나타나 모형터널 내 지하수 유입에 의해 작용수압이 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 현장계측 결과 쉴드터널 배면 지반 내 작용수압은 지하수위로 계산되는 수압($r_w{\cdot}H$)보다 약 11~22%정도 적게 나타났다. 모형실험 및 현장계측 결과에서 배수 및 비배수 조건의 이론적인 설계수압과 작용수압의 차이가 나타났는데, 배수형 쉴드터널 적용시 기존 설계수압보다 감소된 수압을 적용하는 것이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 수압 감소를 통해 세그먼트 단면 축소도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 한 장의 영상에서 안개를 제거하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 Dark Channel Prior(DCP) 알고리즘은 영상의 어두운 정보를 계산하여 전달량을 추정한 후, 매팅(matting) 기법을 사용하여 안개 영역을 보완하여 검출한다. 이 과정에서 블록현상이 발생하는 문제가 있으며 이로 인해 안개를 효율적으로 제거하는데 한계점이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Hidden Markov Random Field(HMRF) 와 Expectation-Maximization(EM) 알고리즘을 이용하여 매팅 과정에서 발생하는 블록문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안한 방법은 기존 방법보다 안개제거에서 더 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Three-dimensional video coding is one of the main challenges restricting the widespread applications of 3D video and free viewpoint video. In this paper, a novel fractal coding algorithm with motion-vector-field-based motion estimation for depth map sequence is proposed. We firstly add pre-search restriction to rule the improper domain blocks out of the matching search process so that the number of blocks involved in the search process can be restricted to a smaller size. Some improvements for motion estimation including initial search point prediction, threshold transition condition and early termination condition are made based on the feature of fractal coding. The motion-vector-field-based adaptive hexagon search algorithm on the basis of center-biased distribution characteristics of depth motion vector is proposed to accelerate the search. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reach optimum levels of quality and save the coding time. The PSNR of synthesized view is increased by 0.56 dB with 36.97% bit rate decrease on average compared with H.264 Full Search. And the depth encoding time is saved by up to 66.47%. Moreover, the proposed fractal depth map sequence codec outperforms the recent alternative codecs by improving the H.264/AVC, especially in much bitrate saving and encoding time reduction.

원자력 산업계는 최근 원전 계측제어계통 설비의 단종과 같은 예상치 못한 환경에 직면해오고 있으며, 이러한 문제를 근본적으로 해결하고자 노력하고 있다. IAEA, IEC, 등의 연구결과에 따르면, FPGA는 단종이 예상되는 제어계통에의 대체수단으로 주목받고 있다. FPGA가 원자력 플랜트의 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller)를 대체하기 위해서는 높은 건정성과 신뢰성을 가져야 한다. 따라서, FPGA 기반 제어기의 건전성과 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위하여 HDL 개발수명주기를 적용하여 개발하였다. 또한, 원전 계측제어계통에 적용하기 위하여 번인시험과 환경시험의 기기검증이 수행되었다. 시험수행결과, 352시간의 번인시험과 92시간의 환경시험 중에 정상적인 기능 및 성능을 수행함을 확인할 수 있었다.
