Mechanical behavior of composition pound improved by sand compaction pile (SCP) with low replacement area ratio could be more significantly affected by mechanical interaction between sand piles and clays than that of clay ground improved by SD or SCP with high replacement area ratio. It is essential to elucidate the mechanical interaction in the improved clay ground, in order to accurately estimate behavior in reducing settlement of the improved ground and increasing strength of clays. In this paper, through a series of model tests of composition ground improved by SCP with low replacement area ratio, each mechanical behaviors of sand piles and clays in the composition ground during consolidation was elucidated, together with stress sharing behavior between sand piles and clays.

This study aims to analyze the relations among greenbelt, urban land surface temperature empirically in order to assess the environmental effects of the greenbelt in the Seoul metropolitan area, objectively. For this purpose, this study conducts an empirical analysis of impacts of greenbelt on urban land surface temperature using a multiple-regression model. The main data employed in the analysis include real-time air pollution data, Landsat 8-OLI Landsat imagery data, KLIS data and Jip-gye-gu data. The major findings are summarized as follows. NDVI has a negative (-) correlation with the land surface temperature, and the urban temperature is high in areas with poor vegetation. The land surface temperature is low in residential or commercial areas, while the temperature is high in industrial areas. The temperature is low in green fields, open spaces, and river areas. it is found that the urban land surface temperature is low in the greenbelt zone. In the greenbelt zone, there is an effect that reduces the land surface temperature by 1% on average, as compared to that at the center of the Seoul metropolitan area. Especially, the center of the Seoul metropolitan area, in a range from 0.6% to 1.9% of the average temperature, the temperature gets lower up to approximately 3km from the greenbelt boundary.

The risk of flooding and groundwater depletion is increasing due to the increase of impervious area in an urban area that reduces the volume of infiltration and increases the outflow of rainwater. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of installation of roadside tree protectors with infiltration pipes in terms of the change of the infiltration rate. Through this study, it has been attested that roadside tree protectors with infiltration pipes increased the infiltration rate and decreased water level on the ground, and could be applied in an urban area as the low impact development (LID) facilities.

As the development of information technology, the interests in tiny applications such as wearable devices, portable devices and RFID are increased and the importance of low-area encryption circuit is emphasized. This paper proposes a compact architecture of AES-based encryption circuit suitable for tiny applications. The circuit area is reduced by minimizing storage space and sharing computation resources. The synthesized gate-level circuit using 65nm standard cell library consists of 2,241 gates and two $8{\times}16$-bit SRAMs. It can process data at a rate of 50.57Mbits per second. Therefore, the proposed encryption circuit is suitable for various applications requiring very small encryption circuit.

This study was conducted to investigate the indiscriminate development occuring as a result of high-density land use per lot in residential areas of Seoul, which mainly consist of detached houses. The primary goals of this study were: (1) to suggest a block unit development method as an alternative architectural method of the current uniform development, in which high-rise and high-density apartments are usually built; and (2) to check the feasibility of the suggested method. Based on the analyses of the existing block composition types of residential areas, the prerequisite planning indices for applying a collective housing model were investigated. Subsequent to applying a collective housing type within each unit block, the collective housing model was analyzed. The results of the analyses showed that indiscriminate development was rampant in detached urban houses areas, and more than 70% of the buildings constructed before the 1980s needed re-development. The feasibility of the models was investigated depending on the models of low-rise and high-density collective housing, which utilize various block arrangements such as the court type, linear type, villa type, and composite type. The results of this study showed that the newly applied low-rise and highdensity multiple dwelling housing model in urban individual residential area significantly contributed to creating a good living environment in terms of both physical and psychological aspects.

This paper proposes an efficient kernel-based partitioning algorithm for reducing area and power dissipation in combinational circuit design.. The proposed algorithm decreases the power consumption by partitioning a given circuit utilizing a kernel, and reduces the area overhead by minimizing duplicated gates in the partitioned subcircuits. Experimental results for the MCNC benchmarks show that the proposed algorithm is effective by generating circuits consuming 43.6% less power with 30.7% less area on the average, when compared to the previous algorithm based on precomputation circuit structure.

In this study, a comprehensive model developed to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban area with low impact development (LID) and its integrated management practices (IMPs). The model was applied to the actual urban area in Asan Tangjeong district (ATD) as a case study. A rainwater tank (1200 ton) among various LID IMPs generated the highest amount of GHG emissions ($3.77{\times}10^5kgCO_2eq$) and led to the utmost reducing effect ($1.49{\times}10^3kgCO_2eq/year$). In the urban area with LID IMPs, annually $1.95{\times}104kgCO_2eq$ of avoided GHG emissions were generated by a reducing effect (e.g., tap water substitution and vegetation $CO_2$ absorption) for a payback period of 162 years. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to quantitatively evaluate the significance of the factors on the overall GHG emissions in ATD, and suggested to plant alternative vegetation on LID IMPs.

In this paper, Analytical study is carried out on the impedance characteristics of the globe control valve, which is mainly used for thrust control in liquid rockets, according to the effective area at low frequency perturbation. The impedance tends to increase according to effective area and the cause of impedance characteristic change through flow field visualization is investigated. In the future, the information on the change in the impedance characteristics of the control valve can be used to obtain the impedance of the supply system and it can be utilized to predict pogo phenomenon as well as design accumulator and orifice to reduce the pogo phenomenon.

In this paper, the two-stage object detection approach is proposed to implement a deep learning-based label inspection system on edge computing environments. Since the label printed on the products during the production process contains important information related to the product, it is significantly to check the label information is correct. The proposed system uses the lightweight deep learning model that able to employ in the low-performance edge computing devices, and the two-stage object detection approach is applied to compensate for the low accuracy relatively. The proposed Two-Stage object detection approach consists of two object detection networks, Label Area Detection Network and Character Detection Network. Label Area Detection Network finds the label area in the product image, and Character Detection Network detects the words in the label area. Using this approach, we can detect characters precise even with a lightweight deep learning models. The SF-YOLO model applied in the proposed system is the YOLO-based lightweight object detection network designed for edge computing devices. This model showed up to 2 times faster processing time and a considerable improvement in accuracy, compared to other YOLO-based lightweight models such as YOLOv3-tiny and YOLOv4-tiny. Also since the amount of computation is low, it can be easily applied in edge computing environments.

The dynamic of zooplankton community and its relationship with dissolved oxygen were studied at the Soho area of Gamak Bay from 22 August to 15 September in summer. We found that zooplankton were in low abundance or absent from bottom waters when oxygen concentrations were <3 mg $L^{-1}$. The relationship between summer low-oxygen in bottom-layer and zooplankton community structure was discussed at vertical abundance in Soho area of Gamak Bay. To examine effects of bottom-layer low-oxygen on abundance and vertical distributions in the stratified Soho area, zooplankton was surveyed near-surface, within the near-bottom in the study area under a range of near-bottom dissolved oxygen conditions. There were vertical variation in total zooplankton abundance in the study area (ANOVA, P<0.05). Overall abundance of zooplankton: copepod nauplii, Oithona sp. and tintinnids were lower throughout the water column when bottom-layer DO was low (${\leq}3mg\;L^{-1}$). In this context it was postulated that zooplankton distribution in the Soho area of Gamak Bay might be controlled by dissolved oxygen condition.
