  • 시계열 데이터에 대한 군집화 관련 연구는 주로 통계 분석을 통해 이뤄지기 때문에 데이터가 갖는 특성을 완전히 반영하는 데 한계를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 다변량 데이터에서의 군집화를 위하여 변수별로 시간에 따른 변화와 특징을 추출하기 위한 CNN-GRU(Convolutional Neural Network - Gated Recurrent Unit) 기반의 신경망 모델을 제안한다. CNN을 활용하여 변수별로 갖는 특성을 파악하고자 하였으며, GRU을 통해 전체 시간에 따른 소비 추세를 도출하고자 하였다. 지역별로 업종에 따라 사용된 2년 치의 실제 카드 데이터를 활용하였으며, 유사한 소비 추세를 보이는 지역을 군집화하는데 이를 적용하였다. 결과적으로, 다변량 시계열 데이터를 통해 전체적인 흐름을 반영하여 패턴화했다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다.

  • This paper presents the concept of the National Science and Technology Park (NSTP) in Islamabad, Pakistan. Keeping in line with Karl Popper's Piecemeal Social Engineering theory, a critical-pragmatic approach is adopted in shedding light on the strategic thrusts and expected outcomes of this knowledge-driven, entrepreneurially-spirited, multi-industry project. Based on Triple-Helix perspectives, we investigate the role of the National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad in efforts aimed at developing NSTP as an intermediary hybrid organization that enhances industry-academia-government linkages, with the potential to serve as an engine for regional and national economic growth and competitiveness.

  • Since China's opening to international trade, the rapid growth of the country's export sector has been coupled by an intensification of migratory outflows of ethnic Chinese. The literature has already stressed the beneficial role of migration in enhancing bilateral trade. The present paper applies a gravity model in order to capture the impact of migration on Chinese exports for a relatively long period of time (1995-2017) where significant developments take place. We estimated four regressions, each of them confirming the positive network effects of migration for boosting export growth. Apart from the main finding, it appears that the role of institutional and geographical proximity can prove to be complementary for trade enhancement. The results finally suggest mixed effects due to the countries' import openness, indicating that China's free trade agreements acts as a substitute for smoothing trade competition from third countries.

  • There are many types of seismic isolation devices that are being used today for structural control of earthquake response in buildings. The most commonly used are sliding bearings and elastomeric bearings, the latter with or without lead core. An alternative solution is the use of steel springs combined with viscoelastic fluid dampers, which is the case discussed in this paper. An analytical study of a three-story building supported on helical steel springs and viscoelastic fluid dampers, GERB Control System (GCS), subjected to near-fault earthquakes is presented. Several earthquakes records have been obtained by the acceleration network installed in the isolated building and in its non-isolated twin since they were finished. These experimental results are analysed and discussed. The aim is to show that the spring-based system can be an alternative for base isolation of small building located near active faults.

  • Brain organoids are an exciting new technology with the potential to significantly change our understanding of the development and disorders of the human brain. With step-by-step differentiation protocols, three-dimensional neural tissues are self-organized from pluripotent stem cells, and recapitulate the major millstones of human brain development in vitro. Recent studies have shown that brain organoids can mimic the spatiotemporal dynamicity of neurogenesis, the formation of regional neural circuitry, and the integration of glial cells into a neural network. This suggests that brain organoids could serve as a representative model system to study the human brain. In this review, we will overview the development of brain organoid technology, its current progress and applications, and future prospects of this technology.

  • In Harbin, a network of underground commercial spaces has been developed to occupy spaces that were originally created as civil defense shelters. With the gradual extension of the local metro rail system, the existing underground commercial space is no longer an isolated regional development, but a space that represents "three-dimensional city" and coordinated development taking place in many Chinese cities. Based on the analysis of the unique development process taken in underground space of Harbin, this paper summarizes three characteristics of its early model of "fragmented development" of underground space. By conducting a comprehensive field research and survey, the researchers analyzed 472 questionnaires related to the development trend, and proposed multi-level synergistic elements for the renewal and development of underground commercial space. The paper concludes by discussing the trend of "three-dimensional and collaborative development," suitable for the development needs of the new era, and the corresponding development strategies for the renewal of underground space.

  • Currently, fine dust forecast models are operated by dividing the country into 19 regions. Therefore, it is important to reduce the learning time and the number of models as well as accurate forecast performance to operate lots of forecast models. In this paper, we develop a categorical wide area model that outputs forecast results categorically and integrates the regions with similar regional characteristics. The proposed model improved the convergence rate by 223 times compared to the existing model, which outputs at a single concentration value, and reduced the number of forecast models by a third.

  • Systemic infections due to Fusobacterium may originate in the tonsillar/internal jugular veins or from the abdomen. We encountered a patient who presented with bacteremia, fulminant septic shock, and extensive soft tissue pyogenic infection due to Fusobacterium necrophorum. In addition, there was widespread metastatic colon cancer with the unique finding of pre-mortem co-localization of F. necrophorum and cancer cells at a site distant from the colon. We reviewed the literature of the association of F. necrophorum and colon cancer, and discuss the evidence of how each of these 2 distinct entities may mutually augment the development or progression of the other.

  • This study analyzed the actual condition of the purchasing and selling network structures of manufacturing firms related the shipbuilding and offshore plant industry in Jeollanam-do using the social network analysis. The analysis results are as follows. The networks are often traded by subcontracting relationship with large firms because the industry is configured in most small and medium-sized firms. In particular, it was found to actual situation that selling transactions are being concentrated in the manufacturing firms of Yeongnam where large firms have located. Structural adjustment of the large firms located in the Yeongnam is expected to strike a blow to the manufacturing firms related the shipbuilding and offshore plant industry in Jeollanam-do due to the recently crisis in the shipbuilding industry. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a diversity of networks for selling transactions, and to discover and promote that selling firms related the shipbuilding and offshore plant industry in Jeollanam-do, in order to cope with such a crisis.

  • Using Social Network Analysis and Trade in Value Added Database(TiVA), this paper examines the world trade network. Main findings are as follows. Firstly, there are three types of industries, which have dominant status in the world value added trade network. Those are the manufacturing industries in the developing countries such as China's electronics industry, the service industries in the developed countries such as U.S. R&D, and the manufacturing industries in the developed countries such as German motor vehicle industry. Secondly, the major hub industries in the world trade network have their own specific types in the brokerage roles. Most interestingly, U.S. service industries such as the R&D, the logistics industry, and the whole sale and retail industry reveal itinerant and liaison brokerage roles. Thirdly, Korean industries have been dominated by Chinese industries. However, the financial industry and the R&D industry could have revealed superior status as the brokerage role of itinerant. This implies Korean industries could sustain their competitiveness of the hubness status only by openness policy in the service industry.
