This paper statistically reviewed for the USNCAP frontal crash test results carried out by NHTSA. Vehicle samples were selected on total 20 vehicles which were included on 15 vehicles for MPV&SUV and 5 Pickup. The results was summarized as followings. The performance for the driver was better than the passenger's in the average sense. There exist distinctions between the driver and the passenger on the USNCAP front test procedure, for example dummy size, seating position and airbag style. Therefore these differences originated in the statistical results. Main effect was Neck injury for crash performance on both dummies on the average value. Root cause of neck injury was different for each dummy, ie, the driver caused from Nte & Ntf, but the passenger did absolutely Nte mode. Reliability evaluated from the standard deviation was highly dependent upon chest injury on the driver and neck injury on the passenger. Restraint system was also summarized.

A porous silica-based adsorbent was prepared by impregnating the pores of a silica support with the extractant 1,3-[(2,4-diethylheptylethoxy)oxy]-2,4-crown-6-calix[4]arene (Calix[4]arene-R14) and an additive agent 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (C₂mim ⁺ NTf^-₂) as the materials to remove cesium(I) (Cs⁺) ions from seawater. The as-prepared adsorbent showed excellent adsorption performance toward Cs⁺ ions, with adsorption equilibrium reached within 2 h and an adsorption amount of 0.196 mmol/g observed. The solution pH, temperature, and the presence of coexisting metal ions were found to have almost no effect on Cs⁺ adsorption. The adsorption mechanism was considered to proceed via ion exchange between Cs⁺ and C₂mim⁺. In addition, the particle-induced X-ray emission analysis results further clarified that the adsorbed Cs⁺ ion species on the adsorbent was in the form of both CsCl and CsBr.

The digital domain has witnessed unprecedented growth, reshaping the way we interact, work, and even perceive reality. The internet has evolved into a vast ecosystem of interconnected virtual worlds, giving birth to the concept of the Metaverse. The Metaverse, often envisioned as a collective virtual shared space, is created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and interactive digital spaces. Within this Metaverse space, the concept of ownership, identity, and authenticity takes on new dimensions, necessitating innovative solutions to safeguard individual rights. The digital transformation through Metaverse has also brought forth challenges, especially in copyright protection. As the lines between the virtual and physical blur, the traditional notions of ownership and rights are being tested. The Metaverse, with its multitude of user-generated content, poses unique challenges. The primary objective of this research is multifaceted. Firstly, there's a pressing need to understand the strategies employed by non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces within the Metaverse to strengthen security and prevent copyright violations. As these platforms become centers for digital transactions, ensuring the authenticity and security of each trade becomes paramount. Secondly, the study aims to delve deep into the foundational technologies underpinning NFTs, from the workings of blockchain to the mechanics of smart contracts, to understand how they collectively ensure copyright protection. Thus, in this paper, we propose a quantum based NFT solution that can secure Metaverse and copyright contents in an advanced manner.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the cooling performance characteristics with the consideration of the temperature variations of the enclosure of the 400W ferrofluid active speaker having both woofer and amplifier heat sinks. In order to do this, the heat sinks for both woofer and amplifier was designed ant applied to 400W ferrofluid active speaker. As a result, the cooling performance of the developed 400W ferrofluid active speaker was improved and the temperature of the enclosure after 120 min at steady state increased by $2.8^{\circ}C$ with the increase of the outdoor temperatures from $25^{\circ}C$ to $29^{\circ}C$. In addition, the overall sound pressure level of the developed 400W ferrofluid active speaker showed 111.8 dB and improved 1.9 dB higher than 109.9 dB of the existed speaker.

Rapid production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in the regulation of innate immunity in plants. A potato calcium-dependent protein kinase (StCDPK5) activates an NADPH oxidase StRBOHA to D by direct phosphorylation of N-terminal regions, and heterologous expression of StCDPK5 and StRBOHs in Nicotiana benthamiana results in oxidative burst. The transgenic potato plants that carry a constitutively active StCDPK5 driven by a pathogen-inducible promoter of the potato showed high resistance to late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans accompanied by HR-like cell death and $H_2O_2$ accumulation in the attacked cells. In contrast, these plants showed high susceptibility to early blight necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria solani, suggesting that oxidative burst confers high resistance to biotrophic pathogen, but high susceptibility to necrotrophic pathogen. NO and ROS synergistically function in defense responses. Two MAPK cascades, MEK2-SIPK and cytokinesis-related MEK1-NTF6, are involved in the induction of NbRBOHB gene in N. benthamiana. On the other hand, NO burst is regulated by the MEK2-SIPK cascade. Conditional activation of SIPK in potato plants induces oxidative and NO bursts, and confers resistance to both biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens, indicating the plants may have obtained during evolution the signaling pathway which regulates both NO and ROS production to adapt to wide-spectrum pathogens.

In an "NTFS Index Record Data Hiding" method messages are hidden by using file names. Windows NTFS file naming convention has some forbidden ASCII characters for a file name. When inputting Hangul with the Roman alphabet, if the forbidden characters for the file name and binary data are used, the codes are convert to a designated unicode point to avoid a file creation error due to unsuitable characters. In this paper, the problem of a file creation error due to non-admittable characters for the file name is fixed, which is used in the index record data hiding method. Using Hangul with Roman alphabet the characters cause a file creation error are converted to an arbitrary unicode point except Hangul and Roman alphabet area. When it comes to binary data, all 256 codes are converted to designated unicode area except an extended unicode(surrogate pairs) and ASCII code area. The results of the two cases, i.e. the Hangul with Roman alphabet case and the binary case, show the applicability of the proposed method.

According to the capacity of hard disk drive is increasing day by day, the amount of data that forensic investigators should analyze is also increasing. This trend need tremendous time and effort in determining which files are important as evidence on computers. Using the file system APIs provided by Windows system is the easy way to identify those files. This method, however, requires a large amount of time as the number of files increase and changes the access time of files. Moreover, some files cannot be accessed due to the use of operating system. To resolve these problems, forensic analysis should be conducted by using the Master File Table (MFT). In this paper, We implement the file access program which interprets the MFT information in NTFS file system. We also extensibly compare the program with the previous method. Experimental results show that the presented program reduces the file access time then others. As a result, The file access method using MFT information is forensically sound and also alleviates the investigation time.

The improving performance and utilizing application fields of mobile devices are getting bigger and wider. With this trend, applications that use database engines on mobile devices are also becoming common. Applications requiring mobile databases include mobile server databases, edge computing, fog computing, and the like. By the way, the most representative and widely used mobile database is SQLite3. In this paper, we test and compare the update performance of SQLite3 by some file systems. The update performance of the file systems in the mobile environment is an important performance factor in the limited H/W environment. The comparison file system was chosen as FAT, Ext2, and NTFS. Under the same conditions, experiments with each file system to test update performance and characteristics were processed. From the experimental results, we could analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each file system for each database update pattern.

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the thermal characteristics of an automobile exhaust-based heat exchanger for automotive thermoelectric power generation with various exhaust gas mass flow rates and temperatures. The heat exchanger for automotive thermoelectric power generation has a square-type pin installed inside, so the maximum amount of heat can be transferred to the thermoelectric element from the heat energy coming from the automobile exhaust gas. The exhaust gas mass flow rate changed from 0.01, to 0.02, to 0.03 kg/s, and the exhaust gas temperature changed from 400, to 450, to 500, to 550, to $600^{\circ}C$, respectively. A numerical simulation was conducted by using the commercial program ANSYS CFX v17.0. Consequently, the exhaust gas pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger is determined according to the flow rate of the exhaust gas. When the mass flow rate of the exhaust gas increased, the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger increased, but the exhaust gas pressure difference between the inlet of the heat exchanger and the outlet did not vary with the exhaust gas temperature. Therefore, in order to obtain the maximum surface temperature from the heat exchanger, the exhaust gas mass flow rate should be lower, and the exhaust gas temperature should be higher.
