  • 19세기부터 현재까지 산업화된 국가들을 중심으로 출산율이 급락하고 있는 전세계적인 현상은 진화적인 관점에서 선뜻 이해하기 어렵다. 왜 자원이 더 풍부해진 현대에 들어서 사람들은 자식수를 자발적으로 줄이는가? 본 논문은 현대의 저출산 현상을 설명하는 다양한 진화적 접근들을 요약하고, 이를 토대로 우리 사회의 저출산 문제를 해결할 실마리를 얻고자 한다. 1) 현대의 극히 낮은 출산율은 수렵-채집 생활에 맞추어진 우리의 심리적 적응이 진화적으로 낯선 환경과 불협화음을 일으킴에 따른 부적응적인 부산물이라는 가설, 2) 사회적으로 성공한 사람들이 자녀를 적게 낳는 행동이 전파되거나, 가족 중심의 네트워크가 붕괴하여 출산의 중요성이 덜 강조됨에 따라 저출산이 야기되었다는 유전자-문화 공진화 가설, 그리고 3) 부모가 자녀에게 투자하는 양이 대단히 많이 요구되는 현대의 환경에서 극심한 저출산은 부모의 장기적인 적합도를 최대화하는 적응적인 형질이라는 가설을 차례대로 검토한다. 저출산에 대한 진화적 관점은 저소득층의 출산을 지원하는 정책보다는 모든 사회경제적 계층에서 자녀를 장차 경쟁력 있는 성인으로 키우기 위한 비용을 줄이는 정책을 추진하는 것이 더 효과적임을 시사한다.

  • 수중 음파 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 수중 환경의 자료를 수집하고 이를 이용하여 오염도를 측정하거나 자연재해를 예방하는 등의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 수중에서 수집된 자료는 음파 통신으로 지상의 통신 개체로 전달된다. 수중 환경은 지상 환경에 비해 전송 속도가 낮고, 전송 지연이 빈번히 일어나는 등 통신 성능이 좋지 않기 때문에 지상의 무선 통신에서 사용되는 보안 기술을 그대로 적용시키는 것이 어렵다. 이로 인해 보안 기술을 배제한 체 통신 기술만 사용할 경우 전송되는 자료가 공격자에 의해 탈취되거나 위 변조 되는 등의 보안 위협에 노출될 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 개체 간의 신뢰성을 입증해 주고, 암호화 통신을 위한 비밀키를 공유하는 인증 및 키 발급 프로토콜 등과 같은 보안 기술이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수중 환경을 위해 경량화한 인증 및 키 발급 프로토콜인 UW-AKE을 제안한다.

  • This study examines visual perception and spatial satisfaction according to lighting conditions. Field measurements and surveys were performed in three rest space of university buildings where various lighting conditions were employed. Results indicate that overall impression of space improved when low color temperature, such as 3,000 K governed overall lighting environment and accent lighting was used for wall surfaces. Lighting conditions that kept uniform illuminance levels using area light sources containing fluorescent lamps with 6,500 K failed to keep favorable spatial satisfaction for space. High color temperature was not recommended for lighting in rest space. Asymmetrical illuminance levels formed by low color temperature such as 3000 K is recommended to keep positive mood and improve spatial satisfaction in rest space. Overall impression of the space was influenced by visual comfort, color temperature, spatial satisfaction and brightness. Spatial satisfaction for space was effectively impacted by psychological comfort, color temperature and overall impression for lighting conditions. Psychological comfort in space was influenced by color temperature, spatial satisfaction and visual annoyance from reflected light.

  • In this study, an underwater radiation detector was built using a GAGG(Ce) scintillator and silicon photomultiplier to establish an underwater radiation exposure monitoring system. The GAGG(Ce) scintillator is suitable for small radiation detectors as it strongly absorbs gamma rays and has a high light emission rate with no deliquescent properties. Additionally, the silicon photomultiplier is a light sensor with characteristics such as small size and low applied voltage. Further, a program and mobile app were developed to monitor the radiation coefficient values generated from the detector. According to the results of the evaluation of the characteristics of the underwater radiation monitoring system, when tested for its responsiveness to radiation intensity and reactivity, the system exhibited a coefficient of determination of at least 0.99 with respect to the radiation source distance. Additionally, when tested for its underwater environmental temperature dependence, the monitoring system exhibited an increase in the count rate up to a certain temperature because of the increasing dark current and a decrease in the count rate because of decreasing overvoltage. Extended studies based on the results of this study are expected to greatly contribute to immediate and continuing evaluation of the degree of radioactive contamination in underwater environments.

  • 본 연구에서는 컴퓨팅 자원이 제한된 환경에서도 효율적으로 동작 가능한 머신비전 기반의 보행자 신호 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 제한된 자원에서도 높은 효율성을 발휘하며, 주변 조명 등의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 HSV 색공간 기반의 영상처리, 이진화, 모폴로지 연산, 라벨링 등의 단계를 순차적으로 적용하여 빛 번짐과 같은 현상에 대응할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 특히, 이 알고리즘은 비교적 단순한 형태로 구성되어 임베디드 시스템 환경에서 부담 없이 동작할 수 있도록 고려되었다. 이를 통해 낮은 컴퓨팅 자원을 보유한 환경에서도 안정적으로 작동할 수 있는 구조를 갖췄다. 또한, 제안된 보행등은 보행신호 검출 기능뿐만 아니라 IoT 기능을 탑재하여 무선으로 웹서버와 연동되는 기능을 갖췄다. 이에 따라 보행등 설치자 및 제어권자들은 웹 서버를 통해 신호등의 상태를 모니터링하고 제어할 수 있는 편의성을 제공받을 수 있다. 더불어, 50W급 LED 보행등을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 구현이 완료되었다. 이러한 제안된 시스템은 자원 제한 환경에서의 신속하고 효율적인 보행자 신호 검출 및 제어 시스템으로, 실제 도로 환경에서의 적용 가능성을 고려하고 있다. 이를 통해 보다 안전하고 지능적인 도로 교통 시스템의 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • The above results indicate that vegetable crop production using vinyl houses continously increases. However, technical support and facility improvement are still insufficent to establish a full production system. In order to improve the cultural environment in facilities for better vegetable culture, several facters should be considered. 1. Facility design and arrangement should be made to improve micro-environments for crop growth and development because direction of facility and covering materials can affect the amount of light trasmitted into vinyl houses. 2. Cultivation of several leading varieties in each crop may not provide stable production and profit especially under undesirable environmental conditions. Thus, it is required to grow not only leading varieties but also other cultivars to decrease the economic losses. 3. Crops should be carefully managed when planted in early season not to experience low temperatures which induce growth retards. Early season cultivation requires proper selection of cultivars which are resistant to low temperture. 4. Active control of micro-environment in facilities should be made via improving the ventilation and irrigation systems.

  • Depth information used in SLAM and visual odometry is essential in robotics. Depth information often obtained from sensors or learned by networks. While learning-based methods have gained popularity, they are mostly limited to RGB images. However, the limitation of RGB images occurs in visually derailed environments. Thermal cameras are in the spotlight as a way to solve these problems. Unlike RGB images, thermal images reliably perceive the environment regardless of the illumination variance but show lacking contrast and texture. This low contrast in the thermal image prohibits an algorithm from effectively learning the underlying scene details. To tackle these challenges, we propose multi-channel remapping for contrast. Our method allows a learning-based depth prediction model to have an accurate depth prediction even in low light conditions. We validate the feasibility and show that our multi-channel remapping method outperforms the existing methods both visually and quantitatively over our dataset.

  • A wind tunnel consisting of two air flow conditioners with polycarbonate pipes, a plant growth room, a suction fan and fan controller, and fluorescent lamps, was designed to investigate the interactions between the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light and their Physical environments. Light transmissivities in the plant growth room based on the photosynthetic photon flux density and photosynthetically active radiation was appeared to be 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. Measurement showed a uniformity in the vertical profiles of air current speed at the middle and rear regions of plug trays in wind tunnel. This result indicated that the development of a wind tunnel based on the design criteria of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was adequate. Air current speed inside the plug stand was significantly decreased due to the resistance by the leaves of plug seedlings and boundary layer developed over and below the plug stand. Driving force to facilitate the diffusion of gas inside the plug stand might be regarded as extremely low. Aerodynamic characteristics above the plug stand under artificial light were investigated. As the air current speed increased, zero plane displacement decreased but roughness length and frictional velocity increased. Zero plane displacement linearly increased with the average height of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on the microclimate over and inside the plug stand and to collect basic data for a large-scale plug production under artificial light in a semi-closed ecosystem.
