We demonstrate that a deep learning classifier that only uses to gravitational wave (GW) detectors auxiliary channel data can distinguish various types of non-Gaussian noise transients (glitches) with significant accuracy, i.e., ≳ 80%. The classifier is implemented using the multi-scale neural networks (MSNN) with PyTorch. The glitches appearing in the GW strain data have been one of the main obstacles that degrade the sensitivity of the gravitational detectors, consequently hindering the detection and parameterization of the GW signals. Numerous efforts have been devoted to tracking down their origins and to mitigating them. However, there remain many glitches of which origins are not unveiled. We apply the MSNN classifier to the auxiliary channel data corresponding to publicly available GravitySpy glitch samples of LIGO O1 run without using GW strain data. Investigation of the auxiliary channel data of the segments that coincide to the glitches in the GW strain channel is particularly useful for finding the noise sources, because they record physical and environmental conditions and the status of each part of the detector. By only using the auxiliary channel data, this classifier can provide us with the independent view on the data quality and potentially gives us hints to the origins of the glitches, when using the explainable AI technique such as Layer-wise Relevance Propagation or GradCAM.

최근 도시화로 인한 토지피복의 변화로 불투수층이 증가함에 따라, 강수의 자연적인 지하수 함양이 방해되어 도시홍수와 같은 재난 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 토지피복의 변화에 따른 강수와 지하수위 간 상관관계를 규명하기 위해 본 연구는 소규모 도심지역인 부산광역시 연제구를 대상으로 교차상관분석(Cross-correlation function, CCF) 및 이동평균분석(Moving average method, MA)을 통해 강수와 지하수위간 지연시간을 산정하였다. 지연시간을 산정하기 위해 자기상관분석, 교차상관분석, 이동평균분석을 수행하였으며 피어슨 상관함수를 목적함수로 설정하여 강수량과 지하수위 간 가장 높은 상관계수를 가지는 시차 값을 지연시간으로 결정하였다. 관측공 반경 250 m 내 토지피복형태와 지형은 토지피복지도와 수치지형도를 이용하여 Arc-GIS를 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과 토지피복형태가 도심영향이 많은 불투수층으로 이루어진 GW01, GW03, GW05 (Urban: 71-96%)의 경우 지연시간이 길게 나타났으며(CCF: 42-71일, MA: 148-161일) 식생영향이 많은 투수층으로 이루어진 GW04 (Urban: 35%)는 짧은 지연시간(CCF: 4일, MA: 67일)을 보였다. 토지경사도에 따른 지연시간의 차이는 보이지 않았으며 이는 토지피복형태가 강수와 지하수위 간 지연시간에 영향을 강하게 미치는 요소이기 때문에 토지경사도에 따른 영향이 작용하지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 부산 연제구의 토지 이용에 따른 지하수위와 강수량의 지연시간을 규명함으로써 도시 내 강수의 자연적인 지하수 함양을 위한 도시 녹지공간 조성과 수문학적 재난 예방을 위한 관리계획의 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Exploring a universe with gravitational waves (GWs) was only theoretical expectation for long time. In September 2015, the Laser Interferometer GW Observatory (LIGO) first detected GWs emitted from the collision of two stellar-mass black holes in cosmological distance (1.3 billion light years) on Earth. This confirms the existence of black-hole binary mergers, and further, opens a new field of GW astronomy. We begin our discussion with a list of important GW sources that can be detectable on Earth by large-scale laser interferometers such as LIGO. Focusing on compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes, we then discuss possible research in the context of GW astronomy. By coordinating with existing observatories, searching for electromagnetic waves or particles from astronomical objects, around the world, multi-messenger astronomy for the universe's most cataclysmic phenomena (e.g. gamma-ray bursts) will be available in the near future.

Gravitational-wave (GW) sources for the next decades would be in majority binaries consisting of neutron stars and/or black holes reside in the extragalactic environment. For example, GW170817 was the first extragalactic neutron star - neutron star binary found by GW observations and it was proved the power of multi-messenger astronomy (MMA) including the KMTNet observations. With the ever increased sensitivity, the $3^{rd}$ observation run (O3) led by the advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo this year aims to search for more 'standard' populations as well as 'exotic' ones expected by stellar evolution. I will present highlights of on-going efforts by researchers in Korea and those in abroad for estimating physical parameters of a source. Mass, spin, distance, and location are prerequisite information to constrain theoretical understanding of the source formation and evolution. Furthermore, these information are to be shared with the international community for follow-up multi-messenger observations. I will present the observational accuracy expected for the future GW observations and discuss their implications. If time allows, I will make a few remarks on prospects of O3 with KAGRA collaborations, which many domestic researchers are closely involved in.

Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is a major virus infecting orchid plants and causing economic loss. In this study, the incidence of viral infection in Calanthe spp. at the Korean Institute of Calanthe was investigated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The CymMV infection rate was 42%, and the two viruses Odontoglossum ringspot virus and Cucumber mosaic virus had frequencies of 8% and 2%, respectively. Additionally, we characterized an isolate of CymMV, CymMV-GW, using biological tests and examined the nucleotide sequence properties of its complete genome. CymMV-GW induced chlorotic ringspots and chlorotic spot symptoms in inoculated leaves of Chenopodium amaranticolor and Nicotiana benthamiana, respectively. In this study, we have for the first complete genome sequence of CymMV-GW in Korea. The CymMV-GW genome was 6,225 nucleotides in length, excluding the poly-(A) tail, and showed whole-genome nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities of 97.7% and 100%, respectively, with the NJ-1 isolate of CymMV. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the CymMV-GW isolate and viral infection rates for Calanthe spp. in Korea.

Enterotoxigenic E. coli is one of causative agents of the infantile diarrhea and traveler's diarrhea. A modified infant mouse assay(IMA) was developed for the detection of heat stable enterotoxin (ST) of E. coli isolated from diarrheal and control infants and assay system was established with using enterotoxin producing reference strains. The supernatant of the 24 hour-shaking culture of E. coli in Casamino Acid Yeast Extract Salt Broth(CYES-2) was ingested orally into the 2-4 day old ICR mice. After the mice were kept at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, they were sacrificed and the gut weight body weight ratio(GW/BW) was taken as the index of fluid accumulation induced by heat stable enterotoxin of E. coli. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The GW/BW responses of IMA tested with enterotoxin reference strains of E. coli(E. coli O148H28:$ST^+LT^+$, E. coli $O78H^-:ST^+LT^+$, E. coli O15H11:$ST^-LT^+$, E. coli O1H7:$ST^-LT^-$) appeared ta be ST dose-dependent, and not LT-dependent. From the dose-response curve, $25{\mu}l$ of culture supernatant was determined as test amount of the IMA. 2. Frequency distribution of IMA result from 643 strain of E. coli showed normal distribution at low GW/BW ratio and dispersed pattern at high GW/BW ratio. The GW/BW ratios of $0.056{\pm}0.004(mean{\pm}SD)$ of normal distribution which distributed from 0.044 to 0.068(P<0.01) was considered as ST negative. Thus the GW/BW ratio above 0.069 could be regarded as ST positive.

On August 17th 2017, for the first time in the history, the gravitational wave (GW) detectors recorded signals coming from the merger of two neutron stars. This event was named as GW170817, and more interestingly, gamma-ray emission was detected 2 seconds after the gravitational wave signal, and 11 hours later, telescopes in Chile identified that the GW signal came from the NGC 4993 galaxy at the distance of about 40 Mpc. This is again the first time that electromagnetic (EM) signals are detected for a GW source. The follow-up observations by astronomers all around the world, including our group in Korea, successfully identified the optical emission as the kilonova, the elusive optical/NIR counterpart that has been proposed to originate from a neutron star merger. This whole event started the new era of astronomy, so-called the "multi-messenger astronomy", where the combined information from GW and EM radiation reveals an unprecedented view of the universe. In this talk, I summarize this exciting event, and describe the efforts by Korean astronomers that have led to important discoveries about the kilonova and the host galaxy properties, and finally provide the future prospects.

After the first identification of electromagnetic counterpart of gravitational wave source (GW170817), era of multi-messenger astronomy has begun. For specifying coordinate, magnitude, and host galaxy information, optical follow-up observation of GW source becomes important. The O3 run of LIGO / VIRGO started after April 2019. We present searching strategy of GW optical counterpart using the KMTNet. By performing tiling observation of high probability area in GW localization map, we expect to observe early light-curve of GW optical counterpart. We will also present observation result for three gravitational wave events of binary black hole mergers. After identification of optical counterpart, we will study collision mechanism, progenitor, and characteristics of host galaxy using observation data of GW source.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the risk factors focusing on the neck and lower back between general workers (GW) and mild intellectual disability workers (MIDW) in the automobile manufacturing industry. Methods: A total of 32 participants were required for this study design to achieve 80% power, 0.9 effect size, and an alpha level of 0.05. Each group consisted of 16 subjects, including GW and MIDW. Pain levels in the neck and lower back were measured for all participants using the visual analog scale (VAS). A dual digital inclinometer was used to measure the range of motion (ROM) in the neck and lower back three times, and the average was used for analysis. The independent t-test was used to compare between the wo groups. Cohen's d effect analysis was employed to determine the effect size. The significant level was set at 0.05. Results: In the MIDW, neck pain was significantly higher, and left cervical flexion was significantly decreased compared with the GW. There was no significant difference in lower back pain between the MIDW and GW. However, both lumbar flexion and extension, as well as lateral flexion, were significantly reduced in the MIDW compared with the GW. Conclusion: This study reveals that MIDW working in the automobile manufacturing industry have a greater risk of neck pain, limitation in left cervical flexion, and overall restriction in the ROM of the lower back compared with GW.
