In this study, a mixed matrix membrane was prepared by putting the zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7) synthesized in Pebax-1657 and Pebax-2533, which are representative poly(ether-b-amide), and the permeability properties of single gas such as N₂ and CO₂ were investigated. From the gas permeation results, in the case of N₂, both the Pebax-1657/ZIF-7 and Pebax-2533/ZIF-7 mixed matrix membranes showed a similar phenomenon in which the permeability decreased with the incorporation of ZIF-7. For CO₂ permeability, the tendency was slightly different depending on the type of polymer. In the Pebax-1657/ZIF-7 mixed membrane, the CO₂ permeability decreased in the range of 0~3 wt% of ZIF-7, and increased at higher contents. The CO₂ permeability of the Pebax-2533/ZIF-7 mixed matrix membrane gradually decreased without increasing the permeability in the range of 0~5 wt% of ZIF-7. Regarding CO₂/N₂ selectivity, both mixed films showed a tendency to increase with increasing the ZIF-7 content. In particular, Pebax-2533/ZIF-7 5 wt% showed the best gas permeation performance compared to other mixed matrix membrane. This is thought to be because ZIF-7 shows better compatibility with Pebax-2533 than that of Pebax-1657 and also better CO₂ selective property.

In this paper, based on a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm we study phase control of a coherent-beam-combining system under turbulent atmospheric conditions. Based on the statistical theory of atmospheric turbulence, we carry out the analysis of the phase and wavefront distortion of a laser beam propagating through a turbulent atmospheric medium. We also conduct numerical simulations of a coherent-beam-combining system with 7- and 19-channel laser beams distorted by atmospheric turbulence. Through numerical simulations, we characterize the phase-control characteristics and efficiency of the coherent-beam-combining system under various degrees of atmospheric turbulence. It is verified that the SPGD algorithm is capable of realizing 7-channel coherent beam combining with a beam-combining efficiency of more than 90%, even under the turbulent atmospheric conditions up to cn2 of 10-13 m-2/3. In the case of 19-channel coherent beam combining, it is shown that the same turbulent atmospheric conditions result in a drastic reduction of the beam-combining efficiency down to 60%, due to the elevated impact of the corresponding refractive-index inhomogeneity. In addition, by putting together the number of iterations of the SPGD algorithm required for phase locking under atmospheric turbulence and the time intervals of atmospheric phenomena, which typically are of the order of ㎲, it is estimated that hundreds of MHz to a few GHz of computing bandwidth of SPGD-based phase control may be required for a coherent-beam-combining system to confront such turbulent atmospheric conditions. We expect the results of this paper to be useful for quantitatively analyzing and predicting the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the SPGD-based phase-control performance of a coherent-beam-combining system.

Roads are an essential factor in the physical functioning of modern society. The spatial information of the road has much longer update cycle than the traffic situation information, and it is necessary to generate the information faster and more accurately than now. In this study, as a way to achieve that goal, the Pan-sharpening technique was applied to satellite images of Kompsat 3 and 3A to improve spatial resolution. Then, the data were used for road extraction using the semantic segmentation technique, which has been actively researched recently. The acquired Kompsat 3/3A pan-sharpened images were trained by putting it into a U-Net based segmentation model along with Massachusetts road data, and the applicability of the images were evaluated. As a result of training and verification, it was found that the model prediction performance was maintained as long as certain conditions were maintained for the input image. Therefore, it is expected that the possibility of utilizing satellite images such as Kompsat satellite will be even higher if rich training data are constructed by applying a method that minimizes the impact of surrounding environmental conditions affecting models such as shadows and surface conditions.

The ROK military is making a great effort and investment in establishing network-centric warfare, a future battlefield concept, as a major step in the establishment of a basic plan for military innovation. In the military organization level, an advanced process is introduced to shorten the command control time of the military and the business process is improved to shorten the decision time. In the information system dimension, an efficient resource management is achieved by establishing an automated command control system and a resource management information system by using the battle management information system. However, despite these efforts, we must evaluate the present level of informatization in an objective manner and assess the current progress toward the future goal of the military by using objective indicators. In promoting informatization, we must systematically identify the correct areas of improvement and identify policy directions to supplement in the future. Therefore, by analyzing preliminary research, workshops, and expert discussions on the major informatization level evaluation models at home and abroad, this study develops an evaluation model and several indicators that systematically reflect the characteristics of military organizations. The developed informatization level evaluation model is verified by conducting a feasibility test for the troops of the operation class or higher. We expect that this model will be able to objectively diagnose the level of informatization of the ROK military by putting budget and resources into the right place at the right time and to rapidly improve the vulnerability of the information sector.

The Buddhist dance, which is considered to be the essence of Korean folk dance, has changed and developed over many years, having profound influential relations with Buddhism in terms of its origin, source, title, and costumes. Today the Buddhist dance is performed in two fixed types, Jangsam dance and Buk dance, but it is estimated that there must have been various forms of Buddhist dance during the Japanese rule based on the its historicity and various origination theories. It was around 1940 that Jang Yang-seon, the master of Haejugwonbeon, turned 'Seungininsangmu' into a work through Yang So-woon. The present study analyzed the video of 'Seungininsangmu' performed at the 'Performance in the Memory of Yang So-woon' in 2010, and the analysis results were as follows: first, the dance has a clear message to be delivered in its title and connotes an origination theory of Buddhist dance, which argues that the Buddhist dance was created by a Buddhist that underwent agony and corruption during his ascetic practice and later returned to Buddhism. Secondly, the process of Jangsam dance - Buknori - Bara dance - Heoteun dance - Hoisimgok - Guiui shows the thematic consciousness of the dance clearly in a sequential manner. Finally, the dance was in a form of combining various expressive methods according to the story and its development including the Bara dance, a dance performed in a Buddhist ceremony, the Heoteun dance, which is strongly characterized by individuality and spontaneity that are folk features, and Hoisimgok, the Buddhist music. Those findings indicate that the dance reflected well the flow of putting the Buddhist dance on the stage or turning it into a work in the early 20th century. Compared with the types of Buddhist dance in a strong form including the Jangsam dance and Buk dance, 'Seungininsangmu' conveys the meanings that the original Buddhist dance tried to express in terms of content and reflects on the diversity of combined Akgamu and theatrical elements in terms of form. The present study is significant in that it offers many implications for the Buddhist dance capable of future-oriented development.

The water content of dewatered cake produced from belt press dewatering equipment was about 75 wt% which was some high to handle it, so the equipment contained a limit at the economical and environmental aspect. The thermal dewatering equipment built as an alternative to overcome several problems was set up at the sludge treatment field and estimated some feasibility as comparison with the dewatering performance of belt press. First, dewatering properties of waterworks sludge was analyzed by monthly. The sludge of a water shortage season contained a high organic content which led to be difficult to dewater the cake, the other side the sludge of rainwater season was ease to dewater because of low organic content. According to the results to analysis the water content of dewatered cake produced from two equipments on the base of the seasonal dewatering properties, the water content of dewatered cake produced from thermal dewatering for sludge of water shortage season was $41.6{\sim}48.3$ wt% and $71{\sim}84$ wt% from belt press. In the case of rainwater season, the water content of dewatered cake produced from thermal dewatering was $34{\sim}37.7$ wt% and $57{\sim}70$ wt% from belt press. It was understood that thereduction of water content of cake by thermal dewatering was larger than belt press. The economical aspect for two equipments was evaluated on considering the reduction of cake treatment amount as the decrease of water content of cake. When putting the cost index of thermal dewatering into 100, belt press was 121. This meant that thermal dewater was more economical than belt press by about 20% in the side of construction and operation. In conclusion, thermal dewatering equipment was estimated by producing the low water content dewatered cake as well as being operated with low coat.

Jangchungdan Park is now perceived as a mere park at the foot of Namsan mountain, but originally it was created to commemorate soldiers of Korean Empire on a site which name was Namsoyeong(南小營) during Joseon Dynasty. During the period of Japanese colonial rule, it was transformed into a park due to the rapidly changing circumstances, so the components expressing the validity of the colonial rule were introduced into the park. This paper examines the time sequential changes of Jangchungdan Park during the period of Japanese colonial rule, and the conclusions can be summarized as given below. Firstly, the park originally was a space to commemorate the soldiers who fought for the Korean Empire. It was built on formerly restricted area at the foot of Namsan Mountain in 1900, and it was arranged putting the ceremonial shrine Dansa (壇祠) as a central building and the annexes in the surroundings of it. The memorial ceremonies were held regularly in spring and autumn until 1909. Secondly, it became a city park for citizens of Gyeongseong-bu(the name of Seoul under the Japanese colonial rule). The authorities of Gyeongseong-bu reorganized Jangchungdan as a park in 1919, prohibited the performance of memorial ceremonies, and the existing buildings except the ceremonial shrine Dansa began to be used as park management facilities. Resting areas and amenities were supplemented for the usage of people from various backgrounds, and the large scale planting of cherry trees made the park a famous place to enjoy cherry-blossoms and other flowers in spring. Thirdly, it was reconstructed as a space to honor the influential personalities of Japanese colonial system. In 1932, Bankmun temple (博文寺) to commemorate Ito Hirobumi was constructed at a location that made it possible for a number of people to overlook Jangchungdan area. During that time, the buildings of traditional Joseon architecture were removed and reconstructed to serve as annexes to Bankmun temple. Due to the strategy to make Jangchungdan park a tourist attraction, Bankmun temple was included into the Gyeongseong sightseeing course, since the wide panorama of Jangchungdan Park and the whole city of Gyeongseong was opening from the temple. Various different components were introduced into Jangchungdan Park due to the rapidly changing circumstances; therefore the nature of the park was either altered or reproduced. Hopefully, the park rearrangement works will be executed paying respects to the memories of the past hereafter.

From January 2020 to October 2021, more than 500,000 academic studies related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus-2, a fatal respiratory syndrome) have been published. The rapid increase in the number of papers related to COVID-19 is putting time and technical constraints on healthcare professionals and policy makers to quickly find important research. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method of extracting useful information from text data of extensive literature using LDA and Word2vec algorithm. Papers related to keywords to be searched were extracted from papers related to COVID-19, and detailed topics were identified. The data used the CORD-19 data set on Kaggle, a free academic resource prepared by major research groups and the White House to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, updated weekly. The research methods are divided into two main categories. First, 41,062 articles were collected through data filtering and pre-processing of the abstracts of 47,110 academic papers including full text. For this purpose, the number of publications related to COVID-19 by year was analyzed through exploratory data analysis using a Python program, and the top 10 journals under active research were identified. LDA and Word2vec algorithm were used to derive research topics related to COVID-19, and after analyzing related words, similarity was measured. Second, papers containing 'vaccine' and 'treatment' were extracted from among the topics derived from all papers, and a total of 4,555 papers related to 'vaccine' and 5,971 papers related to 'treatment' were extracted. did For each collected paper, detailed topics were analyzed using LDA and Word2vec algorithms, and a clustering method through PCA dimension reduction was applied to visualize groups of papers with similar themes using the t-SNE algorithm. A noteworthy point from the results of this study is that the topics that were not derived from the topics derived for all papers being researched in relation to COVID-19 (
