Many construction projects involve a plethora of safety-related problems that can cause loss of productivity, diminished revenue, time overruns, and legal challenges. Incorporating data collection and analytics methods can help overcome the root causes of many such problems. However, in a dynamic construction workplace collecting data from a large number of resources is not a trivial task and can be costly, while many contractors lack the motivation to incorporate technology in their activities. In this research, an Android-based mobile application, Preemptive Construction Site Safety (PCS2) is developed and tested for real-time location tracking, trajectory prediction, and prevention of potential collisions between workers and site hazards. PCS2 uses ubiquitous mobile technology (smartphones) for positional data collection, and a robust trajectory prediction technique that couples hidden Markov model (HMM) with risk-taking behavior modeling. The effectiveness of PCS2 is evaluated in field experiments where impending collisions are predicted and safety alerts are generated with enough lead time for the user. With further improvement in interface design and underlying mathematical models, PCS2 will have practical benefits in large scale multi-agent construction worksites by significantly reducing the likelihood of proximity-related accidents between workers and equipment.

GIS의 역사는 1970년대 컴퓨터의 본격적인 등장 및 급격한 사회환경 변화에 대한 자료 처리도구의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 전문 GIS산업이 등장하게 되었고 자원, 환경관리 및 공공시설 관리에 주로 활용되었다. 1980년대에는 GIS의 저변확대기로 관계형 데이터베이스 및 워크스테이션이 개발되었고, 1990년대에는 H/W, S/W의 발전과 더불어 저장매체 및 통신기술이 발달하게 되었고 이때 GPS 및 3D GIS가 나타나게 되었고 Internet GIS 및 Mobile GIS 응용프로그램 등장과 더불어 GIS 생활화가 시작되었다. 미국, 영국, 캐나다 등 주요 선진국에서는 GIS 구축을 사회간접자본이라는 개념하에 국가발전 전략사업의 일환으로 추진중에 있으며 1998년 기준으로 40억달러 규모의 GIS 시장이 매년 20%이상 시장확대가 이루어질것으로 예상하고 있다. 이에 우리나라도 1980년대 후반부터 GIS에 대한 정부차원의 관심이 증대하여 국가지리정보시스템 구축에 약5,000억의 예산을 배정하여 진행하고 있다. 이에 발맞추어 21C 전력사업 환경변화에 적극적으로 대처하고 배전설비 관리업무의 혁신을 위하여 신배전정보시스템 사업의 일환인 설비DB 구축을 시행하였으며 현재 운영중에 있다.

In this study, to prevent accidents in underground facilities during excavation, we developed a Lv.3 automated control system that can be configured as an electronic control system without changing the existing hydraulic system in a general excavator and utilized digital map information of underground facilities. We aimed to develop a strategy to prevent accidents caused by operator error. To implement this, a real-time excavator bucket end position recognition and control system was developed through angle measurement of the boom, arm, and bucket using an electronic joystick, RTK-GPS, and angle sensors. In addition, excavators are large, machine-based equipment, and it is difficult to control overshoot due to inertia with feedback control using position recognition information of the bucket tip. Therefore, feed-forward control is used to calculate the moving speed of the bucket tip in real-time to determine the target position. We developed a technology that can converge and verified the performance of the developed system through actual vehicle installation and field tests.

광통신에는 광신호의 전송과 광신호 처리에 처리 과정에서 광 손실을 수반하므로 각 요소별로 광신호 증폭이 반드시 필요하다. 또한 광통신망의 완전 광화를 위해서는 제조 공정이 간단하여 가격이 저렴하고, 높은 신뢰성과 높은 증폭 효율을 가지면서 다른 부품과의 집적화가 가능한 광도파로형 광증폭기가 요구되고 있다 그러나 실리카는 광통신 파장대인 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$대역의 증폭이 가능한 Er 이온에 대한 용해도가 50ppm 이하로 낮아 lmol% 이상 고농도로 Er 이온을 첨가하여 높은 증폭 효율을 얻는데 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Er 이온에 대하여 높은 용해 특성을 가지고 있어 고농도 Er 이온 도핑이 가능한 알루미나에 Er을 1-2 mol% 첨가하여 광발광 특성을 조사하였다. Er이 첨가된 알루미나 나노 졸은 Al(NO$_3$)$_3$ㆍ9$H_2O$와 Er(NO$_3$)$_3$.5$H_2O$가 일정 양 용해된 수용액에 NH$_4$OH를 가하여 침전물을 얻고 여과 및 수세하여 졸 입자의 함량이 약 5wt%가 되게 이온교환수와 해교제인 초산을 소량 가하여 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 50시간 열처리하는 방법으로 제조하였다. Er이 첨가된 알루미나 코팅막은 Er 이 첨가된 알루미나 나노 졸에 GPS(3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane)를 Al에 대하여 7 mol% 가하여 스핀 코팅법으로 제조하였다. Si 기판에 코팅하고, 상온에서 90$0^{\circ}C$까지 각 1시간 열처리한 코팅막의 광 발광 특성은 Er 이온의 첨가량과 열처리로 변화된 알루미나 코팅막의 결정상과 연계하여 논의 될 것이다. X-선 회절법으로 분석한 알루미나 코팅막의 온도에 따른 결정상은 boehmite 상에서 약 50$0^{\circ}C$이후에 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$로 전이하고 있다.

Optical amplificator have been used to compensate the losses in the optical signal transmission and processing. Today, there has been increasing demand for the very low cost optical amplifier. Sol-gel offers considerable potential both low cost manufacture, and for great flexibility in materials composition and structure. In addition, the sol-gel process is a very attractive method for producing porous materials with controlled structure. In this work, we present the potoluminescence properties of Er doped A1$_2$O$_3$/SiO$_2$ films. Erbium doped alumina nano sol was prepared by Al(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and Er(NO$_3$)$_3$.5$H_2O$ through hydrolysis and peptization, and then GPS (3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) was added into Er doped alumina nano sol for organic- inorganic hybridization. Er doped A1$_2$O$_3$/SiO$_2$ film was obtained by spin coating, dip coating and thermal treatment from 30$0^{\circ}C$~120$0^{\circ}C$, and there were crack-free after thermal treatment. The thickness of film was measured SEM, and the porosity of film was characterized by BET and TGA. The crystal phase of Er doped A1$_2$O$_3$/SiO$_2$ were determined by XRD. Finally, the photoluminescence properties of Er doped A1$_2$O$_3$/SiO$_2$ films will be discuss with the consideration of porosity and crystallity.

This paper proposed a microstrip antenna that can perform jamming of satellite signals from the GPS L5, GLONASS G3, BDS B2 frequency bands (1164 - 1217 MHz) that are employed mainly for military purposes among the GNSS frequencies using unmanned aircrafts over the enemy's sky in time of emergency. The single element in the proposed antenna can be easily mounted to unmanned aircrafts. This study analyzed the characteristics of miniaturization and beam of radiating elements by applying the image theories and perturbation effect to satisfy the uniform level at ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ of beam steering goal due to the phase delay after antenna array. The designed microstrip antenna had a miniaturized radiating element area (x-y plane), which was reduced by 76.3% compared to that of basic microstrip antenna, and its beam width was $190^{\circ}$ in the E-plane and $140^{\circ}$ in the H plane. In addition, the simulation was conducted to determine the characteristics due to the phase delay by arranging the designed single microstrip antenna by $1{\times}4$ array and the results showed that beam steering of ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ is possible in the H-plane on the basis of $0^{\circ}$. Thus, the proposed antenna was verified to be effective in satellite signal jamming in the air as it was attached to the lower end of unmanned aircrafts.

In order to investigate the characteristics of Changma over the Korean peninsula, KEOP-2007 IOP (Intensive Observing Period) was conducted from 15 June 2007 to 15 July 2007. KEOP-2007 IOP is high spatial and temporal radiosonde observations (RAOB) which consisted of three special stations (Munsan, Haenam, and Ieodo) from National Institute of Meteorological Research, five operational stations (Sokcho, Baengnyeongdo, Pohang, Heuksando, and Gosan) from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), and two operational stations (Osan and Gwangju) from Korean Air Force (KAF) using four different types of radiosonde sensors. The error statistics of the sensor of radiosonde were investigated using quality control check. The minimum and maximum error frequency appears at the sensor of RS92-SGP and RS1524L respectively. The error frequency of DFM-06 tends to increase below 200 hPa but RS80-15L and RS1524L show vice versa. Especially, the error frequency of RS1524L tends to increase rapidly over 200 hPa. Systematic biases of radiosonde show warm biases in case of temperature and dry biases in case of relative humidity compared with ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast) analysis data and precipitable water vapor from GPS. The maximum and minimum values of systematic bias appear at the sensor of DFM-06 and RS92-SGP in case of temperature and RS80-15L and DFM-06 in case of relative humidity. The systematic warm and dry biases at all sensors tend to increase during daytime than nighttime because air temperature around sensor increases from the solar heating during daytime. Systematic biases of radiosonde are affected by the sensor type and the height of the sun but random errors are more correlated with the moisture conditions at each observation station.

In this study, we tried to predict tractor power output, fuel consumption rate and work performance indirectly in order to develop an eco driving system. Firstly, we developed equations which could predict tractor power output and fuel consumption rate using characteristic curves of tractor power output. Secondly, with actual engine rpm determined by initial engine rpm and work load, tractor power output and fuel consumption rate were forecasted. Thirdly, with speed signals of GPS sensor system, it was possible to foresee tractor work performance and fuel consumption rate. Lastly, precision of the eco driving system was evaluated through tractor PTO test, and effects of the eco driving system were investigated in the plowing and rotary tilling operations. Engine rpm, power output, fuel consumption rate, work performance and fuel consumption rate per plot area were displayed in the eco driving system. Predicted tractor power outputs in the full load curve were well coincided with the actual power output of prototype, but small differences, 1 to 6 ㎾, were found in the part load curve. Error of the fuel consumption rate was 0.5 L/h, 4.5%, the greatest, and 1 to 3 L/h at the part load curve. It was shown that 69% and 53% of fuel consumption rates could be reduced in plowing and rotary tilling operations, respectively, when the eco driving system was installed in tractor.

Nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) protein has been identified as an obligatory transcription factor in midbrain dopaminergic neurogenesis, but the global set of human NURR1 target genes remains unexplored. Here, we identified direct gene targets of NURR1 by analyzing genome-wide differential expression of NURR1 together with NURR1 consensus sites in three human neural stem cell (hNSC) lines. Microarray data were validated by quantitative PCR in hNSCs and mouse embryonic brains and through comparison to published human data, including genome-wide association study hits and the BioGPS gene expression atlas. Our analysis identified ~40 NURR1 direct target genes, many of them involved in essential protein modules such as synapse formation, neuronal cell migration during brain development, and cell cycle progression and DNA replication. Specifically, expression of genes related to synapse formation and neuronal cell migration correlated tightly with NURR1 expression, whereas cell cycle progression correlated negatively with it, precisely recapitulating midbrain dopaminergic development. Overall, this systematic examination of NURR1-controlled regulatory networks provides important insights into this protein's biological functions in dopamine-based neurogenesis.
