The general purpose of this paper is to identify opportunities for and to measure existing collaboration on research and development between institutions from the countries of Asia and Latin America in FEALAC's framework, in the fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology and their convergence. The methodological approach includes scientific and technological surveillance and research seeking to identify both the R&D and innovation capacities of the countries as well as the degree of international cooperation between countries of the two regions; case studies and a study of the governance framework of international collaboration in R&D about issues considered global challenges. The study has three main findings. First, nanotechnology, biotechnology and their convergence contribute to solving the problem of contamination by heavy metals affecting most of the countries that are part of FEALAC and to address problems arising from the accelerated rate of energy consumption, which also contributes to environmental damage. In this scenario, important business opportunities arise from the adaptation and development of bio-refinery technologies. Second, the scientific relationship between FEALAC countries, mainly between Asian and Latin American countries, is weak as can be seen in research for articles and patents. But there is plenty of room and potential for improvement. Third, current and upcoming joint R&D programs and projects should be linked both to existing governance structures and to new ones that serve as experiments of STI public policy regarding innovative management of intellectual property and capacity building. Practical implications are included in lessons learned and a set of recommendations involving a couple of proposals. One proposal calls for research and innovation in promising fields for international cooperation. Another proposal creates mechanisms in the governance framework for sharing knowledge, capacity building, and funding.

영상유속분석법은 비접촉식으로 유속을 측정하는 방법으로 특히 홍수시 하천의 표면유속을 안전하게 계측할 수 있어서 경제적이고 안전한 하천유속 측정 방법 중 하나이다. STIV는 영상의 휘도 정보를 시간 방향으로 나열하여 작성된 STI(Space-Time Image)에 나타나는 패턴의 기울기를 이용하여 유속을 산정하는 방법이다. 특히 STIV(Space-Time Image Velocimetry)는 기존 입자군의 상호상관법에 기초한 입자영상유속계와 달리 표식자의 유무와 상관없이 유속을 측정할 수 있어 적용성과 안정성이 확보된다. 하지만 영상의 상태가 불량한 경우 정확한 유속 측정이 난해하며 야간에는 별도의 조명 추가 및 태풍과 같은 악기상에서는 빗방울이 카메라에 맺히거나 수면의 진동, 구조물의 진동에 의한 영상의 상태가 불량하게 되어 측정 정도가 떨어진다. 이처럼 영상을 이용한 유속 계측에 있어 다양한 연구 및 기술개발이 요구되는 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영상을 이용한 정확한 유속측정을 위해 STIV와 인공지능을 융합하여 정확한 유속 평가를 목적으로 한다. 우선 기존 STI에 의한 기울기 추정방법을 확장하여 딥러닝(CNN)에 의한 기울기 추정방법을 도입하였다. CNN은 일반적으로 이미지의 특성을 추출하는데 유용한 방법으로서 STI의 2차원 Fourier변환 이미지를 사용하여 패턴의 기울기를 감지하도록 학습하였고 적용 결과 기울기에 대한 인식율은 매우 양호하였으며 이를 이용한 실제 관측 영상에 적용한 결과 유속에 대한 정밀도도 매우 양호하게 나타났다. 또한 딥러닝을 적용한 STIV는 노이즈(진동, 화면 불량 등)가 있는 영상에서도 안정적으로 유속을 산정할 수 있으며 전파유속계를 이용한 실제 하천의 표면유속 관측치와 비교 검토 결과 매우 양호하게 유속을 평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A method for gamma/neutron event classification based on frequency-domain analysis for mixed radiation environments is proposed. In contrast to the traditional charge comparison method for pulse-shape discrimination, which requires baseline removal and pulse alignment, our method does not need any preprocessing of the digitized data, apart from removing saturated traces in sporadic pile-up scenarios. It also features the identification of neutron events in the detector's full energy range with a single device, from thermal neutrons to fast neutrons, including low-energy pulses, and still provides a superior figure-of-merit for classification. The proposed frequency-domain analysis consists of computing the fast Fourier transform of a triggered trace and integrating it through a simplified version of the transform magnitude components that distinguish the neutron features from those of the gamma photons. Owing to this simplification, the proposed method may be easily ported to a real-time embedded deployment based on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays or Digital Signal Processors. We target an off-the-shelf detector based on a small CLYC (Cs2LiYCl6:Ce) crystal coupled to a silicon photomultiplier with an integrated bias and preamplifier, aiming at lightweight embedded mixed radiation monitors and dosimeter applications.

SiC thin films made by vapor silicon infiltration into porous graphite can be obtained for shorter time than liquid silicon. Si diffusion coefficient is estimated by comparing experiment results with quadratic equation obtained by Fick's second law.

There are some 1,000 natural caves in Korea. Most caves on the mainland are made of limestone, whereas most of the caves on Cheju Island are volcanic in origin. The caves on Cheju, in particular, are internationally renowned for their huge size and scientific value. By contrast, the caves on the mainland are not as big, but their unique shapes and formations sti1l attract the attention of international speleologists.(omitted)
