In general, the industrial complex is a place where factories of various industries are concentrated. It is only as efficient as it is designed. However, the risks vary as there are various industries. These features are also associated with various types of disasters. The dangers of natural disasters such as a typhoon, flood, and earthquake, as well as fire and explosions, are also latent. Many of these risks can make stable production and business activities difficult, resulting in massive direct and indirect damage. In particular, decades after its establishment, the vulnerabilities increase even more as aging and small businesses are considered. In this sense, it is significant to assess the vulnerability of the industrial complex. Thus analysing fire and explosion hazards as stage 1 of the vulnerability evaluation for the major potential disasters for the industrial complex. First, fire vulnerabilities were analyzed quantitatively. It is displayed in blocks for each company. The assessment block status and the fire vulnerability rating status were conducted by applying the five-step criteria. Level A is the highest potential risk step and E is the lowest step. Level A was 11.8% in 20 blocks, level B was 22.5% in 38 blocks, level C was 25.4% in 43 blocks, level D was 26.0% in 44 blocks, and level E was 14.2% in 24 blocks. Levels A and B with high fire vulnerabilities were analyzed at 34.3%. Secondly, the vulnerability for an explosion was quantitatively analyzed. Explosive vulnerabilities were analyzed at 4.7% for level A with 8 blocks, 3.0% for level B with 5, 1.8% for level C with 3, 4.7% for level D with 8, and 85.8% for level E with 145. Levels A and B, which are highly vulnerable to explosions, were 7.7 %. Thirdly, the overall vulnerability can be assessed by adding disaster vulnerabilities to make future assessments. Moreover, it can also assist in efficient safety and disaster management by visually mapping quantified data. This will also be used for the integrated control center of the N-Industrial Complex, which is currently being installed.

Accurately predicting the thermal hydraulic parameters of a transient reactor core under different working conditions is the first step toward reactor safety. Mass flow rate and temperature are important parameters of core thermal hydraulics, which have often been modeled as time series prediction problems. This study aims to achieve accurate and continuous prediction of core thermal hydraulic parameters under instantaneous conditions, as well as test the feasibility of a newly constructed gated recurrent unit (GRU) model based on the soft attention mechanism for core parameter predictions. Herein, the China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) is used as the research object, and CEFR 1/2 core was taken as subject to carry out continuous predictive analysis of thermal parameters under transient conditions., while the subchannel analysis code named SUBCHANFLOW is used to generate the time series of core thermal-hydraulic parameters. The GRU model is used to predict the mass flow and temperature time series of the core. The results show that compared to the adaptive radial basis function neural network, the GRU network model produces better prediction results. The average relative error for temperature is less than 0.5 % when the step size is 3, and the prediction effect is better within 15 s. The average relative error of mass flow rate is less than 5 % when the step size is 10, and the prediction effect is better in the subsequent 12 s. The GRU model not only shows a higher prediction accuracy, but also captures the trends of the dynamic time series, which is useful for maintaining reactor safety and preventing nuclear power plant accidents. Furthermore, it can provide long-term continuous predictions under transient reactor conditions, which is useful for engineering applications and improving reactor safety.

A promising approach to the development of a new single-step vaccine, which would eliminate the requirement for multiple injections, involves the encapsulation of antigens into microspheres. Biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres gave us a bright insight for controling antigen release in a pulsatile fashion, thereby mimicking two or tree boosting injections. However, in spite of the above merits, the level of immunization induced by a single-shot vaccination is often lower tan two doses of alum-adsorbed antigen. Therefore, optima modification of the microsphere is essential for the development of single-step vaccines. In the review, we discuss the stability of antigen in microsphere, safety and non-toxic in human and encapsulation technology. Also, we attempted to outline relevant physicochemical properties on the immunogenicity of microsphere vaccine and attainment of pulsatile release pater by combination of different microsphere, as well as to analyze immunological data associated with antigen delivery by microsphere. Although a lot of variables are related to the optimized microsphere formulation, we could conclude that judicious choice of proper polymer type, adjustment of particles size, and appropriate immunization protocol along with a suitable adjuvant might be a crucial factor for the generation of long-lasting immune response from a single-step vaccine formulation employing PLGA microsphere.

In order to mitigate the possible hazards from electric shock due to the touch and step voltages, the high resistivity material such as gravel is often spread on the earth's surface in substations. When the grounding electrode is installed in two-layer soil structures, the surface layer soil resistivity is different with the resistivity of the soil contacted with the grounding electrodes. The design of large-sized grounding systems is fundamentally based on assuring safety from dangerous voltages within a grounding grid area. The performance of the grounding system is evaluated by tolerable touch and step voltages. Since the floor surface conditions near equipment to be grounded are changed after a grounding system has been constructed, it may be difficult to determine the tolerable touch and step voltage criteria. In this paper, to propose an accurate and convenient method for evaluating the protective performance of grounding systems, the propriety of the method for evaluating the current flowing through the human body around on a counterpoise buried in two-layer soils is presented. As a result, it is reasonable that the grounding system performance would be evaluated by measuring and analyzing the current flowing through the human body based on dangerous voltages such as the touch or step voltages and the contact resistance between the ground surface and feet.

As electric shock accident take place frequently, electrical safety is extremely important to prevent them. This paper describes the characteristics of electric shock. In order to examine it, an experimental apparatus including a model of a human body is fabricated and the magnitude of the voltage held by the model is measured under several conditions as follows;(1) the model is not contacted to an electric pole and a step voltage does not exist. (2) the model is not contacted to an electric pole and a step voltage exists. (3) the model is contacted to an electric pole and a step voltage does not exist (4) the model is contacted to an electric pole and a step voltage exists. As a result of the experiment it is found that the voltage held by the model depends on the step voltage as well as the voltages applied to the electric pole.

RFID(Radio-Frequency IDentification) 시스템은 개인 정보의 노출 및 위치 추적과 같은 보안상 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 해쉬함수와 같은 암호학적 접근방법들은 안전성을 증명하고 있지만 태그의 연산능력과 저장 공간의 한계로 인해 현실적으로 적용하기 어렵다. 최근의 경량 인증기법들은 단순 연산자만을 사용하여 높은 효율성을 보장하지만 안전성에 관한 주장이 충분하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 안전한 RFID 인증을 위해서 대칭키 방식의 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)를 이용하며 대칭키 방식에서의 고정된 키를 사용하던 문제를 단계적인 키 변환을 통해 해결한다. 프로토콜에서 태그와 서버의 동일한 대칭키는 태그, 리더, 백-엔드-서버에서 각각 생성된 난수를 이용하여 차례로 변환되며 태그와 리더의 출력 값을 항상 변경한다. 이와 같이 단계적으로 변환된 키를 이용할 경우 태그 정보의 노출 문제를 해결하며 도청, 재전송, 위치추적 및 스푸핑과 같은 공격에도 안전한 상호 인증이 이루어진다.

Probiotics are actively being studied for their efficacious anticancer, anticholesterol, and antidiabetic properties. As novel probiotic strains are being developed continuously, new strain-specific safety issues may be reported. Therefore, a procedure for the safety evaluation of probiotic strains is needed. In this study, we investigated the current status of domestic and foreign guidelines for the evaluation of safety of probiotics and suggested a general probiotic safety evaluation process. In other countries, the guidelines for probiotic evaluation are provided and managed separately. However, in Korea, general guidelines are provided regarding the use of functional ingredients, and specific guidelines for the use of probiotics are lacking. A review step based on the characteristics of the probiotics has been introduced in the procedure for safety evaluation of probiotics. Additionally, it has been suggested that the safety evaluation process should consider the results of the functional and genomic analysis for strain identification. Moreover, the factors to be evaluated are presented separately for the notified and non-notified strains. The suggested evaluation procedure may ensure the safety of probiotics, thereby promoting enhanced utilization of probiotics as functional products.

The conventional Kalman Filter (KF) provides a promising way for structural state estimation. However, the physical parameters of structural systems or models should be available for the estimation. Moreover, it is not applicable when the loadings applied to the structures are unknown. To circumvent the aforementioned limitations, a two-stage KF with unknown input approach is proposed for the simultaneous identification of structural parameters and unknown loadings. In stage 1, a modified observation equation is employed. The structural state vector is estimated by KF on the basis of structural parameters identified at the previous time-step. Then, the unknown input is identified by Least Squares Estimation (LSE). In stage 2, based on the concept of sensitivity matrix, the structural parameters are updated at the current time-step by using the estimated structural states obtained from stage 1. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is numerically validated via a five-story shearing model under random and earthquake excitations. Shaking table tests on a five-story structure are also employed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. It is demonstrated from numerical and experimental results that the proposed approach can be used for the identification of parameters of structure and the external force applied to it with acceptable accuracy.
