Most firming agent used in Korea is cement-firming agent. Cement-firming agent absorb water for combination, and then it makes ettringite. Through this chemical process, soft ground is firmed by cement-firming agent. Although most cement-firming agent used in Korea made from CSA, it relies on imports. Therefore, the development of soft ground firming agent using new materials is required. In this study, we suggested that EAF reduction slag not used for anything in the steel industry is available for material of soft ground firming agent. If EAF reduction slag is used in soft ground firming agent, it will be possible to solve the problem with treatment of slag and improvement of soft ground.

A 2-step process for the safe destruction of chemical wafare agents(agent hydrolysis followed by supercritical water oxidation) was studied to obtain kinetic data for the pilot plant design. This process is simple to operate by using commercial equipments and could be applied as an alternative technology to incineration. Sarin(GB) and sulfur mustard(HD) were hydrolysed in sodium hydroxide and water respectively and their hydrolysates and OPA, which is binary agent for GB were oxidized in a continuous flow supercritical water oxidation system. Destruction efficiencies of the materials were above 99.99% in supercritical water.

전자 상거래와 같이 통신 보안이 요구되는 응용 분야에 에이전트 기술을 효과적으로 적용하려면 에이전트 기술과 보안 기술의 결합이 요구된다. 본 논문은 공개키 기반 구조 기술과 에이전트 기술을 결합하여, 기밀성(privacy), 완전성(integrity), 신원 확인(authentication), 부인 방지(non-repudiation)등의 보안 기능을 지원하는 다중 보안 에이전트 엔진 모델을 제안한다. 각 에이전트는 구조적으로 에이전트 엔진 계층과 에이전트 응용 계층으로 구성된다. 제안한 보안 에이전트 모델의 설계에는 자가 송수신 메시지, 보안 채널 그리고 에이전트 응용 계층에서의 KQML(Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language) 메시지와 에이전트 엔진 계층에서의 메시지의 구분이라는 개념들이 사용되었다. 제시된 보안 에이전트 엔진 모델이 제공하는 에이전트 언어는 기존 에이전트 언어인 KQML의 내용층 및 메시지층에 대한 아무런 수정이나 제약 조건 없이 통신 계층만을 확장하여 보안 기능을 표현하며, 에이전트간의 보안 통신은 에이전트 언어 상에서 투명하게 표현되는 보안 채널을 통해 이루어진다는 특징을 갖는다.

In this paper, we propose a multi-agent system for assisting those who need help in taking objects around him/her. One may imagine this kind of situation when a person is lying in bed and wishes to take an object on a distant table that cannot be reached only by stretching his/her hand. The proposed multi-agent system is composed of three main independent agents; a vision agent, a robot agent, and a pass agent. Once a human expresses his/her intention by pointing to a particular object using his/her hand and a finger, these agents cooperatively bring the object to him/her. Natural communication between a human and the multi-agent system is realized in this way. Performance of the proposed system is demonstrated in an experiment, in which a human intends to take one of the four objects on the floor and the three agents successfully cooperate to find out the object and to bring it to the human.

The purpose of this study was to develop design principles of both animated pedagogical agents as 'credible' persuasive message source and persuasive fear arousing instructional messages in order to help enhance attitude changes toward a certain issue. Based on the previous pedagogical agent research, this study drew the design principles providing ways to manipulate agent credibility level and fear arousing level of message. Consequently, it specified how to make pedagogical agents perceived less or more credible by learners by manipulating a variety of agent features. For fear arousing message, this study showed how fear arousing messages would be structured into one of three levels: non-threatening, moderately threatening, and strongly threatening. Two different agent conditions and three message conditions were actually developed and experimentally tested with the participants of 40 undergraduate students. The results showed that the agent design principles specified from the previous research worked well enough to make a distinction between the more credible agent and the less credible agent. The overall results of this study may indicate that the design strategies for fear arousing message are retained on the premise of some future refinements.

The animated pedagogical agent has been implemented to promote learning outcomes and motivation in multimedia learning. It has been claimed that one of the advantages of using pedagogical agent is persona effect - the personalization or social presence of pedagogical agent can enhance learning engagement and motivation. However, prior research is inconclusive as to whether and how the features of the pedagogical agent have effects on the persona effect. This study investigated whether the similarity between a pedagogical agent and the real instructor in terms of the voice and outlook would improve students' perception of the agent's persona. The study also examined the effect by the size of pedagogical agent on the persona perception. Two experiments were conducted with a total of 115 college students. Experiment 1 indicated a significant main effect of voice on the persona perception. Experiment 2 was conducted to examine whether the size of pedagogical agent would affect the voice effect on the persona perception. The results showed that the instructor-like voice yielded higher persona perception regardless of the pedagogical agent's size. Overall, the study findings indicated that the similarity in voice positively fostered the agent's persona.

A 2-step process for the safe disposal of chemical warfare agents(agent hydrolysis followed by incineration In the submerged-quench incinerator) was studied to obtain basic data for the design of pilot plant in the future. Sample materials used for the hydrolysis reaction were sarin(GB), sulfur mustard (HD), and methylphosphonic difluoride(DF). The hydrolysates of these materials were thermally destroyed in a submerged-quench incineration system. Experimental conditions for achieving destruction efficiency of 99.99% in both steps were established and phosphoric acid was recovered from the waste water when destroying DF hydrolysate in the incinerator. Treated water could be reused as process water for the agent hydrolysis.

This paper describes a mobile robot intended for being employed in a multi-agent system. We have already proposed a multi-agent system which realizes patient-aid by helping a lying patient take a distant object on the table. In this paper, a mobile robot agent is developed and is included in the system. An effective man-machine communication strategy is proposed by use of a vision agent settled on the ceiling. If a human (assumed to be a patient) wishes to take an object distant on the floor, he points to the object. The vision agent detects the direction of his arm by image processing and guesses which object he intends to take. The vision agent asks him if it is what he wants and, if yes, the mobile robot runs to take and bring it to him. The system is overviewed with the explanation of a mobile robot. Some experimental results are shown with discussion.

A simple and economic antistatic agent, (2-methacryloyloxyethyl)acid phosphate (acryl phosphate), was synthesized via the reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with phosphorus pentoxide. The acryl phosphate antistatic agent, synthesized in this study, was introduced into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin via copolymerization with MMA. This antistatic agent provides the PMMA matrix with excellent antistatic properties, including surface resistance and electric charge. A comparison of the present antistatic agent with other commercial agents demonstrated the excellence of not only its electrical, but also its thermal and mechanical properties.

최근 21세기 세계 경제가 지속적인 성장을 유지하기 위한 핵심요소로서 기술의 축적, 이전, 흡수, 상용화 등이 중요하게 인식되고 있으며, 정부는 공공연구기관에서 개발된 기술이 민간부문으로 이전되어 사업화되는 것을 촉진하고 민간부문에서 개발된 기술이 원활히 거래되고 사업화되는 것을 촉진하기 위해'기술의 이전 및 사업화 촉진에 관한 법률'을 마련했다. 또한 동 법률 제14조에서는 기술거래사의 등록 육성 및 지원에 관한 사항으로 '기술거래사' 자격제도를 도입하여 국가에서 등록, 운영, 관리하고 있으며 대부분의 선진국은 기술거래중개 기관을 민간에 이양하여 기술중개기관 또는 기술브러커로 지칭하고 있다. 국내에서는 이러한 자격제도 도입과 시장 활성화 촉진을 위한 다양한 조직과 기술중개시스템을 구축하였음에도 불구하고 기술거래사 등록제도와 사후관리에 대한 법률적 근거와 체계가 미흡하여 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 일례로 최근 기술거래관련 실적면제로 기술거래사 등록 활성화는 달성하였으나, 실적 검증을 통한 일정수준 이상의 전문가 선별에는 한계점이 나타나고 있다. 이에 경력증명서 기재 내용만으로 업무 경력 보유 여부를 판단하기에는 심사의 한계점이 드러나고 있어 이에 대한 대책이 시급하다. 또한 기술거래사 등록 시 의무적 교육이수제도가 2010년도에 법 개정 및 고시 개정으로 마련되었으나, 소양교육수준의 단기 교육과정 운영으로 신청자에게 다양한 전문지식 취득의 기회 제공이 어려움이 있는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국과 중국의 기술거래사 제도 비교를 통해 기술거래사 제도개선에 대해 고찰해 보았다. 이를 통해 기술이전 사업화 시장 확대와 기술거래사 전문가의 업무영역 보장과 전문가로서의 입지확보 등 경쟁력을 강화하는데 활용될 수 있도록 개선안을 제시하였다.
