  • Horizon Run 5 is the most massive cosmological hydrodynamic simulation ever performed until now. Owing to the large spatial volume ($717{\times}80{\times}80[cMpc/h]^3$) and the high resolution down to 1 kpc, we may study the cosmological effects on star and galaxy formations over a wide range of mass scales from the dwarf to the cluster. We have modified the public available Ramses code to harness the power of the OpenMP parallelism, which is necessary for running simulations in such a huge KISTI supercomputer called Nurion. We have reached z=2.3 from z=200 for a given simulation period of 50 days using 2500 computing nodes of Nurion. During the simulation run, we have saved snapshot data at 97 redshifts and two light cone space data, which will be used later for the study of various research fields in galaxy formation and cosmology. We will close this talk by listing possible research topics that will play a crucial role in helping us take lead in those areas.

  • Single-layered grid space steel roof structure is an architectural system in which the structural ability of the nodal connection system greatly influences the stability of the entire structure. Many bolt connection systems have been suggested to enhance for better construct ability, but the structural behavior and maximum resistance of the connection system according to the size of bolt clearance play were difficult to identify. In particular, the identification of bending stiffness of the connection system is very important due to the characteristics of shell structures in which membrane stresses based on bending force effect significantly. To identify effective structural behavior and maximum bearing force, four representative nodal connection systems were selected and nonlinear numerical analysis were performed. The numerical analysis considering the size of the bolt clearance were performed to investigate structural behavior and maximum values of the bending force. In addition, the type of effective nodal connection system were evaluated. As a result, the connection system, which has two shear plane, represented high bending stiffness.

  • There are many existing trees are to be damaged by reconstruction of large housing estates. The purpose of this study was to find out sustainable conversion methods of Greenbank system by UR Agency. Greenbank system is divided 3 parts as Preserving, Replanting, Recycling of Existing trees. Literature and institutional review and site survey of 5 reconstruction housing estate were the methods for the following findings. The results are follows. Firstly, Because of feasibility of reconstruction, existing trees are preserving at boundary space of reconstruction housing estates. Secondly, existing trees are preserving at inner space for remember of resettlement as symbolic trees. It is conformed by residents participation with UR Agency and city official. Thirdly, Preserving and replanting trees are recorded signboard in the reconstruction housing estates, and preserving of trees are developed as Green workshop by residents. Fourthly, Besides Preserving and Replanting trees, the other trees are recycling as bench, play equipment, planter, etc. And it is remained symbol of reconstruction housing estates. Fifthly, District planning as a institutional, Guidelines as a noninstitutional method are very efficiently for preserving trees. But a part of this study can be adapt reconstruction housing estates in Korea. The results of this study are expected to serve some clue for dealing with the practice of sustainable conversion in housing estates.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess needs for housing improvement of children group homes in Cheongju-si through interviews with the group home directors and staffs. From April 6, 2018, to April 25, 2018, a series of face-to-face interviews with four directors and three staffs working in four children group homes was conducted. The results were analyzed using thematic analysis technique. Highlights of major findings and implications were as follow: (1) Bedroom: Needs for independent bedrooms and desks for each child were dominant. (2) Common activity space: Interviewees showed somewhat different opinions on common activity spaces according to group home types and/or between directors and staffs. (3) Between "a big and good-quality house" and "a house in good location", interviewees were found to prefer "a big and good-quality house" in order for children to have enough space to run and play. (4) Interviewees insisted that to provide proper group home services and protection similar to a real family, current policy to accommodate up to eight children in one group home should be improved.

  • Sun Yung Shin's poetry collection Skirt Full of Black (2007) brings the author's personal history as a Korean female adoptee to bear upon poetic language in daring formal experiments, instantiating the liminal state of being shuttled across borders to land in an in-between state of marginalization. Other Korean American poets have also drawn on the experience of transnational adoption and racialization explore the literary potential of English to materialize haunting memories or the untranslatable yet persistent echoes of a lost home that gestures across linguistic boundaries, as seen in the case of Lee Herrick or Jennifer Kwon Dobbs. Shin however dismantles the referential foundation of English as a language she was transplanted into through formal transgressions such as frazzled syntax, atypical typography, decontextualized punctuation marks, and phonetic and visual play. The power to signify and thereby differentiate one entity or meaning from another dissipates in the cacophonic feast of signs in Skirt Full of Black; the word fragments of identificatory markers that turn racialized, gendered, and culturally contained subjects into exotic things lose the power to define them as such, and instead become alterities by departing from the conventional meaning-making dynamics of language. Expanding on the avant-garde legacy of Korean American poets Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Myung Mi Kim to delve further into the liminal space between Korean and American, referential and representational, or spoken and written words, Shin carves out a space for discreteness that does not subscribe to the hierarchical ontology of differential value assignment.

  • Soil degradation has become a major worldwide environmental problem, particularly in arid and semi-arid climate zones due to irregular rainfall and the intensity of storms that frequently generate heavy flooding. The main objective of this study is the use of geographic information system and remote sensing techniques to quantify and to map the soil losses in the Wadi Saida watershed (624 ㎢) through the revised universal soil loss equation model and a proposed model based on the surface erosive runoff. The results Analysis revealed that the Wadi Saida watershed showed moderate to moderately high soil loss, between 0 and 1000 t/㎢/year. In the northern part of the basin in the region of Sidi Boubkeur and the mountains of Daia; which are characterized by steep slopes, values can reach up to 3000 t/㎢/year. The two models in comparison showed a good correlation with R = 0.95 and RMSE = 0.43; the use of the erosive surface runoff parameter is effective to estimate the rate of soil loss in the watersheds. The problem of soil erosion requires serious interventions, particularly in basins with disturbances and aggressive climatic parameters. Good agricultural practices and forest preservation areas play an important role in soil conservation.

  • Communication as a process of interpreting signs has always existed in people's life. In post-information society, the communication between a person and a technological system through the specific sign-attaching process becomes widespread. Moreover, it somehow replaces usual communication between people. One of the means of communication in the digital space are video games. They not only play an important role in communication processes, but also are a special case of sign-creating and interpreting. The purpose of the article is to examine video games as a space of sign-based communication between a person and a game as a specific digital system. With the help of general scientific and hermeneutic methodology, the analysis of video games as a post-information society phenomenon which people communicate to has been conducted. The process of semiosis as attaching special meanings to signs has been traced in both manipulating in-game objects and characters and understanding rules of an in-game world.

  • Galileo is the European Global Navigation Satellite System, under civilian control, and consists on a constellation of medium Earth orbit satellites and its associated ground infrastructure. Galileo will provide to their users highly accurate global positioning services and their associated integrity information. The elements in charge of the computation of Galileo navigation and integrity information are the OSPF (Orbit Synchronization Processing Facility) and IPF (Integrity Processing Facility), within the Galileo Ground Mission Segment (GMS). Navigation algorithms play a key role in the provision of the Galileo Mission, since they are responsible for computing the essential information the users need to calculate their position: the satellite ephemeris and clock offsets. Such information is generated in the Galileo Ground Mission Segment and broadcast by the satellites within the navigation signal, together with the expected a-priori accuracy (SISA: Signal-In-Space Accuracy), which is the parameter that in fault-free conditions makes the overbounding the predicted ephemeris and clock model errors for the Worst User Location. In parallel, the integrity algorithms of the GMS are responsible of providing a real-time monitoring of the satellite status with timely alarm messages in case of failures. The accuracy of the integrity monitoring system is characterized by the SISMA (Signal In Space Monitoring Accuracy), which is also broadcast to the users through the integrity message.

  • We present the results of polarization observations at submillimeter wavelengths towards Monoceros R2 (Mon R2). The polarized thermal dust emission was obtained from SCUBA-2/POL-2 at 450 ㎛ and 850 ㎛, simultaneously. This observation is a part of the JCMT BISTRO survey project. The polarization angle distributions at 450 ㎛ and 850 ㎛ are similar and the mean value of angle differences at two wavelengths is 5.5 degrees. The Mon R2 is one of massive star-forming regions containing a clear hub-filamentary structure. The hub region shows star formation activities, and surrounding filaments provide channels for matters to move into the hub region. It is not well known the role of magnetic fields in a hub-filamentary structure. Some studies have shown well-ordered polarization segments along a filamentary structure and magnetic field morphology traced by polarization segments is interpreted as to help gas flow along the filamentary structrue. Our observations shows that filaments in Mon R2 have spiral structure and the magnetic field lines are parallel to the filaments. We interpret that the spiral structure can be formed by a rotation hub-filament system with gas flowing along the filaments to the hub. We found several dust clumps at the central part of the hub region of the Mon R2. They seems to be formed at locations where spiral field lines meet each other. These results show one observational example that a magnetic field play a role in gas flow.
