  • 전 세계적으로 에너지 절약과 $CO_2$ 발생량의 절감을 위해 자전거의 이용을 장려하고 있으며 국내에서도 이러한 세계적 흐름에 발맞추어 자전거 이용을 활성화하기 위해 긴 연장의 신설 자전거도로 건설 계획이 진행되고 있다. 최근 신설 자전거도로의 효과적인 건설을 위해 시멘트 수화 반응뿐만 아니라 골재 맞물림에 의해 높은 구조적 성능을 발현하고 간단한 시공절차와 적은 건설비용을 지닌 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장을 도입하기 위해 적정 배합에 대한 강도 및 내구성 연구가 수행되었다. 하지만 실내 연구를 통해 도출된 배합은 현장다짐에 따라 발현되는 강도에 차이가 있을 수 있다. 또한 얇은 단면, 낮은 강도 등 일반 도로 포장과 요구되는 성능이 상이한 자전거도로의 적정 성능 및 공용성을 확보하기 위한 시공 방안이 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 연구 결과를 토대로 다양한 배합 및 다짐 조건에 대한 시험시공을 실시하여 코어 물성 검토, 육안관찰, 혼합물의 함수비, 다짐률, 전압률, 미끄럼저항성 및 평탄성을 측정하였다. 이를 통하여 자전거도로 적용을 위한 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장의 시공방안을 제시하였다.

  • Nitrification performance of fixed film biofilters using coarse sand, loess bead, or styrofoam beads in biofilter columns 1 meter high and 30cm in diameter were studied at different hydraulic and organic matter loading rates. Synthetic wastewater was supplied to the culture tank in order to maintain desired TAN concentrations in inlet water to biofilters. All the biofilters were conditioned 5 months before start of sampling. TAN and $NO_2-N$ conversion rates increased with an increase in the hydraulic loading rate (HLR). However, the improvement in biofilter performance was not linearly correlated to HLR in styrofoam bead filters. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the styrofoam beads used. TAN conversion rates of sand filters increased with the increase of HLR up to $200m^3/m^2$. per day. No increase in the TAN conversion rate was observed at the highest HLR since flooding on the media surface took place. HLR had a significant impact on the TAN conversion rates in loess bead filter up to the highest HLR tested (P<0.05). TAN conversion rates were much less at organic matter loading rates of 9 and 18kg $O_2/m^3$ per day than those without the addition of organic matter in styrofoam bead filters. The addition of glucose resulted in a reduction of the TAN conversion rate from 540 to 284g $TAN/m^3$ per day. No significant difference of TAN conversion rates between the two organic matter loading rates was found (p<0.05). This indicates that the impact of organic matter on nitrification becomes less and less sensitive with an increase in the COD/TAN ratio. At an organic matter loading rate of 9kg $O_2/m^3$. per day, a great reduction of TAN conversion rates was observed in sand filters and loess bead filters. Clearly, organic matter can be one of the most Important Impacting factors on nitrification. $NO_2-N$ conversion rates showed a similar trend for TAN. Based on the TAN and nitrite conversion rates, styrofoam beads showed the best performance among the three filter media tested. Also, the low gravity and price of styrofoam beads make the handling easier and more cost-effective for commercial application. The results obtained at the highest organic matter loading rates can be used in the biofilter design in recirculating aquaculture system.

  • Background: Le Fort I osteotomy is a highly effective treatment for skeletal jaw deformities and is commonly performed. High Le Fort I osteotomy is a modified surgical procedure performed for improving the depression of the cheeks by setting the osteotomy higher than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy. Developments in three-dimensional (3D) technology have popularized the use of 3D printers in various institutions, especially in orthognathic surgeries. In this study, we report a safe and inexpensive method of performing a high Le Fort I osteotomy using a novel 3D device and piezosurgery, which prevent tooth root injury without disturbing the operation field for patients with a short midface and long tooth roots. Results: A 17-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry, mandibular protrusion, a short midface, and long tooth roots. We planned high Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Prevention of damage to the roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve and accurate determination of the posterior osteotomy line were crucial for clinical success. Le Fort I osteotomy using 3D devices has been reported previously but were particularly large in size for this case. Additionally, setting the fixing screw of the device was difficult, because of the risk of damage to the roots of the teeth. Therefore, a different surgical technique, other than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy and 3D device, was required. The left and right parts of the 3D device were fabricated separately, to prevent any interference in the surgical field. Further, the 3D device was designed to accurately cover the bone surface from the piriform aperture to the infra-zygomatic crest with two fixation points (the anterior nasal spine and the piriform aperture), which ensured stabilization of the 3D device. The device is thin and does not interfere with the surgical field. Safe and accurate surgical performance is possible using this device and piezosurgery. The roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve were unharmed during the surgery. Conclusions: This device is considerably smaller than conventional devices and is a simple, low-cost, and efficient method for performing accurate high Le Fort I osteotomy.

  • Purpose - Despite the structural irrationality of multi-level transportation and the oil price rise, the domestic freight transportation market continues to grow, mirroring the rise in e-commerce and resultant increase in courier services and freight volumes. Several studies on courier services have been conducted. However, few studies or statistics have been published regarding regular freight services although they have played a role in the freight service market. The present study identifies the characteristics of regular freight service users to seek competitiveness enhancement measures specific to regular freight services. Research design, data, and methodology - IPA is a comparative analysis of the relative importance of and satisfaction with each attribute simultaneously. This study used IPA because it facilitates the process of analyzing importance and performance, deriving implications and a visual understanding of results. To enhance the competitiveness of regular freight services, this study surveyed its current users regarding the importance of the regular freight service factors. A total of 200 copies of a questionnaire were circulated and 190 copies were returned. In addition to demographics, respondents answered questions about the importance of and satisfaction with services on a 5-point Likert scale. Excluding 3 inappropriate copies, 187 out of 190 copies were analyzed. PASW Statistics 18 was used for statistical analysis. A total of 20 question items were selected for the service factors presented in the questionnaire based on the 1st pilot survey and previous studies. Results - According to the IPA performed to compare the importance of and satisfaction with service factors, both importance and satisfaction are high in the 1st quadrant, which involves the economic advantage of using regular freight services, quick arrival at destinations, weight freight handling, and less time constraints on freight receipt/dispatch. This area requires continuous management. Satisfaction is higher than importance in the 2nd quadrant, which involves the adequacy of freight, cost savings over ordinary courier services, notification on freight arrival, and freight tracking information. This area requires intensive investment and management. Satisfaction is lower than importance in the 3rd quadrant, involving the credit card payment system, courier delivery service, distance to freight handling sites, easy access to freight handling sites, and prompt problem solving. This area requires further intensive management. Both importance and satisfaction are low in the 4th quadrant, involving the availability of collection service, storage space at freight handling sites, kindness of collection/delivery staff, kindness of outlet staff, and easy delivery checks. This area is a set of variables should be excluded from priority control targets. Conclusions - Based on the IPA, service factors that need priority controls because of high importance and low satisfaction include the credit card payment system, delivery service, distance to freight handling sites, easy access to freight handling sites, and prompt problem solving. The findings need to be applied to future marketing strategies for regular freight services and for developing competitiveness enhancement programs.

  • 슈퍼커패시터는 일반 커패시터(축전지, 콘덴서)에 비해 정전용량이 매우 큰 커패시터로 전기화학 커패시터 혹은 울트라 커패시터(ultracapacitor) 라고도 부르는데, 화학반응을 이용하는 배터리와 달리 전극과 전해질 계면의 단순한 이온 이동이나 표면화학반응에 의한 충전현상을 이용한다. 짧은 충전시간(~ 30초), 우수한 출력특성, 반영구적 수명(~ 100,000 cycle), 낮은 유지비용, 빠른 응답특성, 높은 안정성 등을 특징으로 하여, 백업용 전원, 무정전전원장치, 수송 기계 및 스마트 그리드의 고출력 보조 전원 등 급속 충방전이 필요한 전자기기 및 고출력이 요구되는 산업분야에서 활용되고 있다. 태양광과 풍력 같은 불규칙적인 전력원을 활용하는 발전에서 2차 배터리와 함께 에너지저장장치로 구성되어 상대적으로 느린 배터리의 충·방전 특성을 보상하고 배터리 수명연장에 기여하며 시스템의 전체 전력 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 고에서는 이처럼 에너지저장장치로 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있는 슈퍼커패시터에 대해, 전극 재료에 따른 에너지 저장 원리 및 메커니즘, 분류를 간략하게 살펴보고, 국내외 제품 연구, 특허, 시장 및 제품 현황을 제시하여 활용성을 검토하고 향후 전망을 살펴보았다. 에너지 저장 소자로 슈퍼커패시터가 관련 산업 수요에 대응하기 위해서는, 고전압 모듈 기술, 고효율 충전, 안전성, 추가적인 성능개선 및 비용경쟁력 등 아직까지 해결해야 할 과제들이 많다.

  • Smart factories can be defined as intelligent factories that produce products through IoT-based data. In order to build and operate a smart factory, various new technologies such as CPS, IoT, Big Data, and AI are to be introduced and utilized, while the implementation of a MES system that accurately and quickly collects equipment data and production performance is as important as those new technologies. First of all, it is very essential to build a smart factory appropriate to the current status of the company. In this study, what are the essential prerequisite factors for successfully implementing a smart factory was investigated. A case study has been carried out to illustrate the effect of implementing ERP and MES, and to examine the extensibilities into a smart factory. ERP and MES as an integrated manufacturing information system do not imply a smart factory, however, it has been confirmed that ERP and MES are necessary conditions among many factors for developing into a smart factory. Therefore, the stepwise implementation of intelligent MES through the expansion of MES function was suggested. An intelligent MES that is capable of making various decisions has been investigated as a prototyping system by applying data mining techniques and big data analysis. In the end, in order for small and medium enterprises to implement a low-cost, high-efficiency smart factory, the level and goal of the smart factory must be clearly defined, and the transition to ERP and MES-based intelligent factories could be a potential alternative.

  • This paper presents six novel hybrid machine learning (ML) models that combine support vector machines (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and categorical gradient boosting (CGB) with the Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm. These models, namely HHO-SVM, HHO-DT, HHO-RF, HHO-GB, HHO-XGB, and HHO-CGB, are designed to predict the ultimate strength of both rectangular and circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The prediction models are established using a comprehensive database consisting of 325 experimental data for rectangular columns and 172 experimental data for circular columns. The ML model hyperparameters are optimized through a combination of cross-validation technique and the HHO. The performance of the hybrid ML models is evaluated and compared using various metrics, ultimately identifying the HHO-CGB model as the top-performing model for predicting the ultimate shear strength of both rectangular and circular RC columns. The mean R-value and mean a20-index are relatively high, reaching 0.991 and 0.959, respectively, while the mean absolute error and root mean square error are low (10.302 kN and 27.954 kN, respectively). Another comparison is conducted with four existing formulas to further validate the efficiency of the proposed HHO-CGB model. The Shapely Additive Explanations method is applied to analyze the contribution of each variable to the output within the HHO-CGB model, providing insights into the local and global influence of variables. The analysis reveals that the depth of the column, length of the column, and axial loading exert the most significant influence on the ultimate shear strength of RC columns. A user-friendly graphical interface tool is then developed based on the HHO-CGB to facilitate practical and cost-effective usage.

  • The double-layer antireflection (DLAR) coatings have significant advantages over single-layer antireflection (SLAR) coatings. This is because they will be able to cover a broad range of the solar spectrum which would enhance the overall performance of solar cells. Moreover films deposited at high frequency are expected to show excellent and UV-stable passivation in the refractive index that we adopted. In this work, we present a novel DLAR coating using SiNx:H thin films with refractive indices 1.9 and 2.3 as the top and bottom layers. This approach is cost effective when compared to earlier DLAR coatings with two different materials. SiNx:H films were deposited by Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique using $SiH_4$, $NH_3$ and $N_2$ gases with flow rates 20~80sccm, 200sccm and 85 sccm respectively. The RF power, plasma frequency and substrate temperature for the deposition were 300W, 13.56 MHz and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum thickness and refractive indices values for DLAR coatings were estimated theoretically using Macleod simulation software as 82.24 nm for 1.9 and 68.58 nm for 2.3 respectively. Solar cells were fabricated with SLAR and DLAR coatings of SiNx:H films and compared the cell efficacy. SiNx:H> films deposited at a substrate temperature of $450^{\circ}C$ and that at 300 W power showed best effective minority carrier lifetime around $50.8\;{\mu}s$. Average reflectance values of SLAR coatings with refractive indices 1.9, 2.05 and 2.3 were 10.1%, 9.66% and 9.33% respectively. In contrast, optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance value as low as 8.98% in the wavelength range 300nm - 1100nm.

  • 4차 산업혁명 사회에서의 PNT(Position, Navigation, and Timing) 정보의 중요성은 과거와는 또 다른 의미를 가진다. 자율 주행차, 자율 운항선박, 스마트그리드 그리고 국가 주요 기간시설에서는 PNT 정보의 고정확성 이외에도 지속가능하고, 신뢰할만한 서비스를 요구하고 있다. PNT 정보를 제공하는 가장 대표적인 시스템인 위성항법시스템은 지구 대기 밖 위성으로부터 신호를 수신하므로 수신 신호전력이 낮고, 민간신호의 경우 신호구조가 공개되어 있다. 따라서 비의도적 또는 의도적인 간섭이나 해킹에 취약하다. 사용자 관점에서 적은 비용으로 높은 성능의 PNT 정보를 쉽게 획득할 수 있는 위성항법시스템은 해킹의 취약성 때문에 이에 대한 보완이 요구된다. 이에 따라 응용분야 별로 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 기회신호 측면에서 현재 구축, 운영 중인 해상항법 및 통신 인프라를 활용한 R-Mode(Ranging Mode) 기술에 대해 다룬다. 이를 위하여 현재 전국망의 중파 비컨 기반 보강정보를서비스하고 있는 NDGNSS(Nationwide Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) 인프라에 대해 알아보고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 국내 해상분야에서의 백업 PNT 기술로서의 가능성을 확인한다.
