Recently, large and small earthquakes have occurred in the Korean peninsula. In this sense, Korea is no longer considered as an earthquake free zone. Especially, it is necessary to respond quickly to earthquake tsunami which may be caused by the influence of neighboring countries with large earthquakes. Since the occurrence of tsunamis can cause great casualties, it is very important to allocate the location of the shelter in case of an earthquake. Although many researches on shelter allocation have been conducted in various ways, but most of them have been analyzed based on administrative district resident data, resulting in a lack of reality. In this study, floating population data were used to reflect reality in case of emergency situations, and genetic algorithm, which produce good results among the heuristic algorithms, was used to select shelter locations. The number of evacuees was used as a objective function of genetic algorithm and the optimal solution was found through selection, crossover and mutation. As a result of the research on Busan Haeundae-Gu, selected as a research area, allocating eight shelters was the most efficient. The location of the new shelters was selected not only in residential areas but also in major tourist areas whose results can not be derived from administrative district resident data alone, and the importance of utilizing the floating population data was confirmed through this study.

In this study, the ignition characteristics of petroleum-based aviation fuel (Jet A-1), bio aviation fuel (Bio-6308), and blended aviation fuel (50:50, v:v) were analyzed in accordance with change of temperature and pressure. The ignition delay time of each aviation fuel was measured by combustion research unit (CRU) and the compositions of the fuels were analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FID for qualitative and quantitative results. From the results, it was confirmed that the ignition delay times of all aviation fuels were shortened with increasing temperature and pressure. In particular, the effect of temperature was larger than the effect of pressure. Also, the ignition delay time of Jet A-1 was the longest at all measurement conditions, and it was judged that this result is because of the structurally stable characteristics of the benzyl radical generated during the oxidation reaction of the aromatic compound (about 22.48%) in Jet A-1. Also, it was confirmed that Jet A-1 had no section where the degree of shortening of ignition delay time was decreased by increasing temperature, which was because the benzyl radical inhibits the response that can affect the negative temperature coefficient (NTC). The ignition characteristics of blended aviation fuel (50:50, v:v) showed a similar tendency to those of Jet A-1, rather than to those of Bio-6308, so that the blended aviation fuel (50:50, v:v) can be applied to the existing system without any change.

In December 2012, a pile driving boat sunk off the coast of Ulsan port in Korea. The cause of capsizing of these boats was considered a complex problem. Although Korean Ship Safety Technology Authority concluded that leaders (cranes) of the vessel were designed with sufficient safety factors, National Forensic Service concluded that the capsizing was caused by the failure of leaders. This study reviewed the related laws, strength calculations, and structural analysis methods used by the Korea Ship Safety Technology Authority. In addition, numerical simulations were carried out on hydrodynamic analysis and structural analysis to analyze the cause of vessel capsizing based on the rules of the Korean Register of Shipping. The results were similar to those found by National Forensic Service. In conclusion, the study suggested that inspection especially for a pile driving boat subjected to the Korean Register of Shipping rules should be carried out to prevent the similar accident.

The objective of this study is to investigate the applicability of a Cu-supported honeycomb catalyst as a catalyst for decomposition of a low toxic liquid propellant based on ammonium dinitramide (ADN). A mixture of copper, lanthanum, and alumina was supported on the honeycomb support by wash coating to prepare a Cu-La-Al/honeycomb catalyst. We elucidated that the effect of metal loading on the physicochemical properties of Cu-La-Al/honeycomb catalyst and catalytic performance in decomposition of the ADN-based liquid propellant. As the number of wash coatings increased, the amount of active metal Cu was increased to 4.1 wt%. The BET surface area of the Cu-La-Al/honeycomb catalyst was in the range of 3.1~4.1 ㎡/g. The micropores were hardly present in Cu-La-Al/honeycomb catalysts, however, the mesopores and macropores were well developed. The Cu (2.7 wt%)-La-Al/honeycomb catalyst exhibited the highest activity in the decomposition of the ADN-based liquid propellant, which is attributed to the largest surface area, the largest pore volume, and the well-developed mesopores and macropores.

The structure of universities needs to be adjusted and reformed to cope with the decrease in admission resources and the quality of education due to the low birth rate and aging population. Such a policy is receiving much attention. To analyze the relative efficiency of private universities in Korea from the perspective of resource and performance, this study evaluated the efficiency of private university operation by applying a DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) technique. The DEA measurements were compared with the diagnosis results of the department of education (Government) in 2018. The input and output variables used in the research analysis were utilized by the university's notification materials (public disclosure information). An analysis of the operational efficiency showed that 48% (12 universities) of the 25 DMUs (Decision Making Unit) were efficient for DEA-BCC models and that some of the capacity-building universities were operating efficiently. In addition, the DEA analysis found ways to improve inefficient groups through DEA-Additive results. This paper can be meaningful because it confirmed the relative efficiency of private universities and suggested improvement directions through the DEA method, which is characterized by the simultaneous consideration of various input and output factors. This will help apply the limited resources related to the input and output elements of each university.

As the interest and demand in the recycled yarn field has increased rapidly worldwide, domestic companies are also promoting research and development and business on recycled yarn. The chemical and thermal properties of four types of virgin and recycled PET samples from A and B company, which are the leading domestic companies in the recycled polyester yarn business, were confirmed through infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Virgin and recycled PET from two companies were compared. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the typical spectra of PET for both companies and a different peak at 872 cm-1. DSC confirmed that the melting point and crystallization temperature of recycled PET were lower than those of virgin PET. These results indicate that small amounts of contaminants are an important parameter affecting the thermal properties of recycled PET. In the DSC results after seven repeats of the heating and cooling processes, all four samples showed that a lower melting point, crystallization temperature, and low heat flow intensity increased with increasing number of cycles. The results of melting and crystallization enthalpy also showed similar patterns.

Based on Artificial Intelligence technology, AI-enabled warfare is expected to become the main issue in the future warfare. Natural language processing technology is a core technology of AI technology, and it can significantly contribute to reducing the information burden of underrstanidng reports, information objects and intelligences written in natural language by commanders and staff. In this paper, we propose a Language model-based Multi-source Information Integration (LAMII) framework to reduce the information overload of commanders and support rapid decision-making. The proposed LAMII framework consists of the key steps of representation learning based on language models in self-supervsied way and document integration using autoencoders. In the first step, representation learning that can identify the similar relationship between two heterogeneous sentences is performed using the self-supervised learning technique. In the second step, using the learned model, documents that implies similar contents or topics from multiple sources are found and integrated. At this time, the autoencoder is used to measure the information redundancy of the sentences in order to remove the duplicate sentences. In order to prove the superiority of this paper, we conducted comparison experiments using the language models and the benchmark sets used to evaluate their performance. As a result of the experiment, it was demonstrated that the proposed LAMII framework can effectively predict the similar relationship between heterogeneous sentence compared to other language models.

The Matched Field Processing (MFP) is an estimation method for a source range and depth based on the prediction of sound propagation. However, as the frequency increases, the prediction inaccuracy of sound propagation increases, making it difficult to estimate the source position. Recently proposed, the Frequency-Difference Matched Field Processing (FD-MFP) is known to be robust even if there is a mismatch by applying a frequency-difference autoproduct extracted from the auto-correlation of a high frequency signal. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of the FD-MFP using a horizontal line array, simulations were conducted in the environment of the East Sea of Korea. In the area of Bottom Bounce (BB) and Convergence Zone (CZ) where detection of a sound source is possible at a long range, and the results of localization were analyzed. According to the the FD-MFP simulations of horizontal line array, the accuracy of localization is similar or degraded compared to the conventional MFP due to diffracted field and mismatch of sound speed. There was no clear result from the simulations conforming that the FD-MFP was more robust to mismatch than the conventional MFP.

This study aimed to investigate the penetration characteristics of a segmented penetrator with normal and inclined angles. The length to diameter ratio (L/D) of the segmented penetrator was varied as 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25. Moreover, impact velocities of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 km/s and inclination angles of $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$ were successively applied. The AUTODYN-3D code was used to simulate the penetration performance of the segmented penetrator. The results show that the penetration performance of the segmented penetrator with steel plates was obviously higher than that of the corresponding continuous penetrator with steel plates. The outstanding penetration performance of the segmented penetrator can be observed when the impact velocity was 2.0 km/s and L/D = 1. In this case, the penetration performance of the segmented penetrator was 7% higher than that of the corresponding continuous penetrator. This trend was attributable to the interaction between the reactive plate and the projectile. The extent of the interaction relies on the relative velocities of the plate and projectiles, inclination angle, and number of segmented penetrators. It was proven that the penetration performance of the segmented penetrator can be improved by increasing the impact velocity, number of segmented penetrators between segments, and penetrator length.

In this paper, a design of a GaN HEMT power amplifier using output matching circuit with arbitrary harmonic impedances is presented. The adopted GaN HEMT device, TGF2023-02 of TriQuint Semiconductor, was packaged in commercial package. The optimal impedances of the GaN HEMT package are extracted from load-pull simulation at package input and output reference planes. The targets of load-pull simulation are the highest output power at fundamental frequency and the highest efficiency at $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonic frequencies. Because of fixture in the package, the extracted impedances shows arbitrary harmonic impedances. In order to match the optimal impedances, output matchin circuit which has 4 transmission lines is presented. Characteristic impedances and electrical lengths of the transmission lines are mathmatically calculated. The power amplfiier with $54.6{\times}40mm^2$ shows the output power of 8 W at the fundamental frequency of 2.5 GHz, the efficiency above 55 %, and harmonic suppression of above 35 dBc at the $2^{nd}$ and the $3^{rd}$ harmonics.
