A graphene electrode with a novel in-plane structure is proposed and successfully adopted for use in supercapacitor applications. The in-plane structure allows electrolyte ions to interact with all the graphene layers in the electrode, thereby maximizing the utilization of the electrochemical surface area. This novel structure contrasts with the conventional out-of-plane stacked structure of such supercapacitors. We herein compare the volumetric capacitances of in-plane- and out-of-plane-structured devices with reduced multi-layer graphene oxide films as electrodes. The in-plane-structured device exhibits a capacitance 2.5 times higher (i.e., $327F\;cm^{-3}$) than that of the out-of-plane-structured device, in addition to an energy density of $11.4mWh\;cm^{-3}$, which is higher than that of lithium-ion thin-film batteries and is the highest among in-plane-structured ultra-small graphene-based supercapacitors reported to date. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential of in-plane-structured supercapacitors with high volumetric performances as ultra-small energy storage devices.

초고속 유/무선인터넷 기술의 급속한 발전으로 언제 어디서나 가능한 인터넷 비즈니스 현상이 전개되고 있다. 이 같은 환경 하에서 이동에이전트(mobile agents) 기술은 사용자를 대신하여 자율적으로 실행할 수 있는 소프트웨어 객체로서 이동성을 지원하기 때문에 개인 휴대단말기들을 위해 유용한 메커니즘을 제공한다. 따라서, 본 논문은 유/무선인터넷 환경 하에서 이동에이전트를 지원하는 휴대단말기용 이동에이전트 플랫폼을 개발 구현한다. 이를 위해, 이미 선행 개발된 자바(Java) 기반 이동에이전트 시스템인 JAMAS를 수정 갱신하여 휴대단말기용 시스템으로 구축한다. 제안된 시스템을 기반으로 하여 유/무선인터넷상에서 네트워크 환경을 구성하고 감시할 수 있는 휴대단말기용 SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB(Management Information Base)를 접근하여 브라우징 하는 어플리케이션을 구현한다. 제안된 시스템 어플리케이션은 SNMP 에이전트의 관리 정보인 MIB를 접근하여 네트워크 맵 뷰어(map viewer), MIB 갱신 등을 브라우저를 통해 관리자에게 제공한다. 그러므로, 휴대단말기용 이동에이전트를 이용하면 홈 네트워크 관리, Mobile-Commerce, 원격지 DB 시스템 통합, Active Message, Active Network 관리 등을 확장성 있게 지원할 수 있다.

Recently scientists and engineers are developing a system to get waste heat of low-temperature level with advanced heat pump, which have not been used up to now. As the reason, it is necessary to examine capability of using waste heat which is raised up in the tunnel of subway out of widely distributed low-temperature waste heat in large cities. Therefore we surveyed thermal environment of the tunnel of subway in $S\check{o}my\check{o}n$, downtown of Pusan, from November 1995 to December 1996 and developed a program to predict the thermal environment of subway on the basis of experimental data and the geometries of tunnels. This paper has proved availability of waste heat of subway when the measured results obtained in subway in the winter time and the simulated results of thermal environment prediction program are compared, as well as has reported results of estimating reliability of the simulation program. As the result, the charateristics of thermal environment in the tunnel of subway in $S\check{o}my\check{o}n$ station in the winter time are to be followed; 1) temperature in the tunnel is about $10^{\circ}C$ higher than outside air temperature, 2) temperature change in the tunnel is less than that in the platform so that we may obtain stable heat source, 3) and when the measured results obtained in subway in the winter time and the simulated results of thermal environment prodiction program is compared, both results show similar tendency. Therefore, we confirm estimating reliability of the simulation program.

본 논문은 실내 환경에서 QR 코드를 이용하여 목적지 자율 주행이 가능한 운반 로봇에 관한 연구이다. 운반 로봇은 QR 코드 인식을 위한 카메라와 좌우 벽과의 거리를 감지하여 로봇이 이동 중 일정한 간격을 유지할 수 있도록 라이다 센서가 부착하여 설계 제작하였다. 운반 로봇의 위치 정보는 QR 코드 영상을 Lanczos resampling 보간법으로 확대한 후 Otsu Algorithm 으로 이진화하고, Zbar 라이브러리를 활용하여 검출 및 해석을 수행하였다. QR 코드 인식은 운반 로봇의 카메라 위치와 QR 코드 높이가 192cm 로 고정된 상태에서 QR 코드의 크기와 운반 로봇의 주행 속도를 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였으며, QR 코드 크기가 9cm×9cm 일 때 99.7%, 운반 로봇의 주행 속도가 약 0.5m/s 이하 일 때 거의 100%의 인식률을 보여주었다. QR 코드 인식율을 바탕으로 목적지 자율주행을 위해 장애물이 없는 상태에서 목적지가 직진만 있는 경우와 목적지가 직진과 회전이 있는 경우에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 목적지가 직진만 있는 경우에는 위치 보정이 거의 필요 없어 목적지에 빠르게 도달할 수 있었으나, 목적지에 회전이 포함된 경우에는 위치 보정이 필요하여 목적지에 도착하는 시간이 상대적으로 지연되었다. 실험 결과, 운반 로봇이 주행 중 약간의 위치 오차가 발생하였으나 비교적 정확하게 목적지에 도달함을 알 수 있었으며, QR 코드 기반 목적지 자율주행 운반 로봇의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we report on successful attempt towards the synthesis of sulfur self-doped $g-C_3N_4$ by directly heating thiourea in air. The synthesized materials were characterized using UV-vis spectral technique, FT-IR, XRD and TEM analysis. Further, the obtained material shows an excellent detection of carcinogenic TNP(Tri nitro phenol) in the presence of 10-fold excess of various other common interferences. The strong inner filter effect and molecular interactions(electrostatic, ${\pi}-{\pi}$, and hydrogen bonding interactions) between TNP and the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets led to the fluorescence quenching of the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets with an excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards TNP compared to that of other nitro aromatics under optimal conditions and the detection limit calculated was found to be 6.324 nM for TNP. The synthesized nanocomposite provides a promising platform for the development of sensors with improved reproducibility and stability for ultra-sensitive and selective sensing of TNP.

Spectrum sensing is an integral part of cognitive radio, which seeks to address the perceived spectrum scarcity that is caused by inefficient utilization of the available spectrum. In this paper, a spectrum sensing system using energy detection for analog TV and FM broadcast transmitters as well as modified Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial (ISDB-T) signals is implemented on a software-defined radio platform using GNU' Not Unix (GNU) radio and the N200 Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). Real-time implementation and experimental tests were conducted in Metro Cebu, a highly urbanized area in the southern part of the Philippines. Extensive tests and measurements were necessary to determine spectrum availability, particularly in the TV band. This is in support of the Philippine government' efforts to provide internet connectivity to rural areas. Experimental results have so far met IEEE 802.22 requirements for energy detection spectrum sensing. The designed system detected signals at -114 dBm within a sensing time of 100 ms. Furthermore, the required $P_d({\geq}90)$ and $P_{fa}({\leq}10)$ of the standard were also achieved with different thresholds for various signal sources representing primary users.

To date, various strategies have been studied to increase specific productivity in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures. Also, albumin-fusion platform is being applied to other important bioactive peptides with short half-lives. Here, we investigated the effects of silkworm gland hydrolysate (SGH) on the production of albumin-erythropoietin (Alb-EPO) in transgenic CHO cells. The viable cell density of CHO cells was increased by 13% in the medium containing 1 mg/mL SGH higher than in the control medium without SGH. In addition, the production of Alb-EPO was also 1.26- fold enhanced by reducing the early apoptosis of CHO cells. In conclusion, SGH could be used as a useful supplement for the enhancement of recombinant protein production.

Spud-can is used for fixing jack-up rig on seabed. It needs to be inserted up to the required depth during the installation process to secure enough soil reaction and prevent overturning accidents. On the other hand, it should be extracted from seabed soils as fast as possible during the extraction process to minimize the corresponding operational cost. To achieve such goals, spud-can may be equipped with water-jetting system including monitoring and control. To develop such a smart spud-can, a reliable numerical simulation tool is essential and it has also to be validated against physical model tests. In this regard, authors developed a numerical simulation tool by using a commercial program ANSYS with extended Drucker-Prager (EDP) formula. Authors also conducted small-scale (1/100) physical model tests for verification and calibration purpose. By using the numerical model, a systematic parametric study is conducted both for sand and K(kaolin)-clay with varying important soil parameters and the best estimated soil properties of the physical test are deduced. Then, by using the selected soil properties, the numerical and experimental results for a sand/K-clay multi-layer case are cross-checked to show reasonably good agreement. The validated numerical model will be useful in the next-stage study which includes controllable water-jetting.

In the construction of subsea oil and gas developments, it is increasingly common that subsea oil and gas equipment will be installed in subsea well before final hookup and production. Installation of wellheads, subsea hardware, pipelines, and surface facilities (platforms, FPSO, FLNG, connected terminals, or gas plants) are increasingly driven by independent cost and vessel availability schedules; this gives rise to requirements that the subsea facilities must be stored in the seabed for a specific time. In addition, schedule delays, particularly in the installation or startup of the connected platform, FPSO, FLNG, or onshore plant may cause unexpected extensions of the intended storage period. Currently, there are two methods commonly used for storage subsea facilities in the seabed: dry parking and wet parking. Each method has its own risks, challenges, and implications for the facility life and its integrity. The corrosion management and preservation method selection is a crucial factor to be considered in choosing the appropriate storage method and achieving a successful seabed storage. An overview of those factors is presented, along with a discussion on the internal corrosion threats and assessments.
