한국 혁신 생태계는 후발 추격자에서 ‘민간 주도의 건강하고 역동적인 생태계 조성을 위한 정부의 역할이 중요한’ 창조적 선도자 단계로 진화해 왔다. 한국의 혁신 생태계는 그동안의 획기적인 발전과 양적 확대에도 불구하고 혁신 성과의 정체 현상, 생태계 내 및 글로벌 연계 활동의 부족 등을 보여주고 있다. 미래 지향적인 혁신 생태계 조성을 위한 차세대 혁신 생태계 모델이 요구되는 상황이다. 기존의 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 혁신 생태계의 바탕을 이루는 것이 기업간 네트워크라는 관점에서 차세대 혁신 생태계의 요소로 기업간 네트워크 외에, 기업 역량, 공공 연구기관, 민간 산업단체, 기술 인프라, 정책 주체를 바탕으로 5개 요소를 설정하고, 불연속적 기술 및 시장 변화에 부응하는 ‘민간 주도의 건강하고 역동적인’ 혁신 생태계로서의 차세대 혁신 생태계 모델을 제시하였고 혁신 생태계구축 역할을 담당하는 정책 주체의 구체적인 방향을 제시하고, 본 연구의 의의를 제시하였다.

In the present work, we address the new route for the green synthesis of manganese dioxide (MnO2) by an innovative method named the solution plasma process (SPP). The reaction mechanism of both colloidal and nanostructured MnO2 was investigated. Firstly, colloidal MnO2 was synthesized by plasma discharging in KMnO4 aqueous solution without any additives such as reducing agents, acids, or base chemicals. As a function of the discharge time, the purple color solution of MnO4 - (oxidation state +7) was changed to the brown color of MnO2 (oxidation state +4) and then light yellow of Mn2+ (oxidation state +2). Based on the UV-vis analysis we found the optimal discharging time for the synthesis of stable colloidal MnO2 and also reaction mechanism was verified by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis. Secondly, MnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by SPP with a small amount of reducing sugar. The precipitation of brown color was observed after 8 min of plasma discharge and then completely separated into colorless solution and precipitation. It was confirmed layered type of nanoporous birnessite- MnO2 by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and electron microscopes. The most important merits of this approach are environmentally friendly process within a short time compared to the conventional method. Moreover, the morphology and the microstructure could be controllable by discharge conditions for the appropriate potential applications, such as secondary batteries, supercapacitors, adsorbents, and catalysts.

Promotion of brand-related sustainability initiatives (BSI) is a modern managerial issue, as BSI seems to impact not only sustainability but also consumer psychology toward a brand. In this regard, the author has extended self-congruity theory and suggested the concept of brand-sustainability-self-congruence (BSSC) as the image congruence of the triad comprising brand, BSI, and self-concept. Former surveys report predictive effects of BSSC on consumers’ brand evaluation, leading to increased brand equity (Kumagai, 2022, 2023).

In the current study, we directly measure consumers’ physiological responses (i.e., brain waves via electroencephalogram [EEG]) to advertising stimuli (digital storyteller vs. human storyteller) to confirm the narrative transportation process of storytelling immersion.

The hospitality, tourism, and travel (HTT) industry has a significant environmental impact due to its water, energy, and waste production. One of the main challenges faced by the HTT industry is the reduction of the negative environmental impact of hotel businesses. Recent studies have shown that consumers are willing to pay a premium for green hotels that adopt environmentally friendly practices to minimize their impact on the environment. While interest in these practices has been increasing, not all consumers are familiar with actual benefits of green hotels. Therefore, it is necessary to employ strategies to increase consumers’ awareness and encourage positive pre-purchasing decisions when selecting a green hotel.

A study was conducted on the vitrification of the rare earth oxide waste generated from the PyroGreen process. The target rare earth waste consisted of eight elements: Nd, Ce, La, Pr, Sm, Y, Gd, and Eu. The waste loading of the rare earth waste in the developed borosilicate glass system was 20wt%. The fabricated glass, processed at 1,200℃, exhibited uniform and homogeneous surface without any crystallization and precipitation. The viscosity and electrical conductivity of the melted glass at 1,200℃ were 7.2 poise and 1.1 S·cm−1, respectively, that were suitable for the operation of the vitrification facility. The calculated leaching index of Cs, Co, and Sr were 10.4, 10.6, and 9.8, respectively. The evaluated Product Consistency Test (PCT) normalized release of the glass indicated that the glass satisfied the requirements for the disposal acceptance criteria. Furthermore, the pristine, 90 days water immersed, 30 thermal cycled, and 10 MGy gamma ray irradiated glasses exhibited good compressive strength. The results indicated that the fabricated glass containing rare earth waste from the PyroGreen process was acceptable for the disposal in the repository, in terms of chemical durability and mechanical strength.

Governments around the world are enacting laws mandating explainable traceability when using AI(Artificial Intelligence) to solve real-world problems. HAI(Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence) is an approach that induces human decision-making through Human-AI collaboration. This research presents a case study that implements the Human-AI collaboration to achieve explainable traceability in governmental data analysis. The Human-AI collaboration explored in this study performs AI inferences for generating labels, followed by AI interpretation to make results more explainable and traceable. The study utilized an example dataset from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to reproduce the Human-AI collaboration process used in actual policy-making, in which the Ministry of Science and ICT utilized R&D PIE(R&D Platform for Investment and Evaluation) to build a government investment portfolio.

미수(眉叟) 허목(許穆, 1595∼1682)은 예(禮)에 있어서는 엣 경전에 따른 고례(古禮)를 중시하였으며, 학문에 있어서는 하, 은, 주 삼대(三代)의 육경(六經)을 깊이 연구하였으며, 글씨 또 한 삼대(三代)의 고문을 추구한 상고주의자(尙古主義者)였다. 시대적으로는 양난(임진왜란, 병자호란)의 혼란과 사색 당쟁 의 격변 속에서, 요순시대를 정치현실에 재현하고자 하는 유토 피아적 인물이었다. 사상적으로도 유학의 해석에 있어서 정주 (程朱)의 해석으로 해결하기 어려운 점을 삼대의 문물과 제도 에서 해결점을 찾고자 하여, 경세치용학파(經世致用學派)라는 남인실학파의 초석을 마련한 인물이다. 서예사적으로 볼 때 그의 정치적 이상과 사상적 학문 연구의 결과가 미전체라는 창신적 서체개발의 형성과정을 연유한다고 볼 수 있다. 전서를 통해 그가 끝내 이루고자 했던 삼대시대의 치도(治道)를, 문자, 서법을 통한 재현이었다. . 1660년 그가 삼척부사(三陟府使)로 좌천 부임(1660)되었을 때 세운 <척주동해비(陟州東海碑)>는 미전체의 대표적 묵적이다. 한편 미전체 형성에 많은 영향을 준 낭선군 이우를 통해 접한 청(淸)의 묵적「형산신우비」가 위작의 논란을 겪음으로, 허목 의 미전체에 관한 평가도 엇갈리는 점이 있는 것은 사실이나, 이러한 문제는 후학들이 계속 연구할 과제라고 생각한다. 그러나 서체의 창신은 높이 평가받아야 할 점이다. 그런 의 미에서 논문 말미에 발표한 심일종 연구가의 소장 자료「과두 전(蝌蚪篆)」이 삼척지방에서 발견된 것은 매우 의미 있는 성 과이다. 미전체가 허목 한 사람에 그치는 것이 아니라 지엽적 인 한계를 넘어 시대와 공간을 초월하는 서체(미전체)의 학습 과 계승으로 이어지기를 바라는 바이다.

Boron carbide (B4C) is highly significant in the production of lightweight protective materials when added to aluminum owing to its exceptional mechanical properties. In this study, a method for fabricating Al-B4C composites using high-energy ball milling and directed energy deposition (DED) is presented. Al-4 wt.% B4C composites were fabricated under 21 different laser conditions to analyze the microstructure and mechanical properties at different values of laser power and scan speeds. The composites fabricated at a laser power of 600 W and the same scan speed exhibited the highest hardness and generated the fewest pores. In contrast, the composites fabricated at a laser power of 1000 W exhibited the lowest hardness and generated a significant number of large pores. This can be explained by the influence of the microstructure on the energy density at different values of laser power.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has transformed conventional manufacturing processes by offering unprecedented opportunities for design innovation, reduced lead times, and cost-effective production. Aluminum alloy, a material used in metal 3D printing, is a representative lightweight structural material known for its high specific strength and corrosion resistance. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for 3D printed aluminum alloy components across industries, including aerospace, transportation, and consumer goods. To meet this demand, research on alloys and process conditions that satisfy the specific requirement of each industry is necessary. However, 3D printing processes exhibit different behaviors of alloy elements owing to rapid thermal dynamics, making it challenging to predict the microstructure and properties. In this study, we gathered published data on the relationship between alloy composition, processing conditions, and properties. Furthermore, we conducted a sensitivity analysis on the effects of the process variables on the density and hardness of aluminum alloys used in additive manufacturing.

The production process of ultra-pure water (UPW) involves dozens of unit processes such as reverse osmosis (RO), pretreatments, membrane degasifier, and several ion exchange processes. Recently, continuous electrodeionization (CEDI) has replaced the 2-bed and 3-tower (2B3T) ion exchange process. As a result, the majority of wastewater in UPW production now comes from the RO concentrate. The important of RO in UPW production is to produce high-quality water with a low ion concentration (around 1 mg/L) for CEDI feed water. Minimizing RO concentrate is essential to reduce the wastewater produced in the UPW production process. This can be achieved by maximizing the recovery of the RO system. However, increasing the recovery is limited by the water quality of the RO permeate. To ensure high-quality permeate water, the RO system is designed with a two-pass configuration. The recovery of each pass in the RO system is limited (e.g., < 85%) due to the expected increase in permeate water concentration at higher RO feed water concentrations. Interestingly, tests using 4-inch RO modules with low concentration feed water (≤ 35 mg/L as NaCl) revealed that the permeate concentration remains almost constant regardless of the feed water concentration. This implies that the recovery of the first RO pass can be increased as long as the average feed/concentrate concentration of the second RO pass is less than 35 mg/L. According to this design criterion for the RO system, the recovery of the first and second RO pass, with a feed water concentration of 250 mg/L as NaCl, can be increased up to 94.8% and 96.0%, respectively. Compared to the conventional RO system design (e.g., 70% and 80% for the first and second RO pass) for UPW production, this maximum recovery design reduces the volume of RO feed and concentrate by up to 38.4% and 89.2%, respectively.

전기투석(ED)은 이온교환막을 통한 이온의 분리에서 중요한 과정이다. 해수담수화로 발생하는 염수 처리는 환경 적으로 큰 문제이며 막분리 기술을 통한 재활용 효율이 높다. 마찬가지로 알칼리는 가죽, 전기도금, 염색, 제련 등과 같은 여 러 화학 산업에서 생산된다. 폐기물의 고농도 알칼리는 부식성이 높고 화학적 산소 요구량(COD) 값이 높기 때문에 환경에 방출하기 전에 처리해야 합니다. 칼슘과 마그네슘의 농도는 염수의 거의 두 배이며 주요 환경 오염 물질인 이산화탄소의 흡 착에 완벽한 후보입니다. 수산화나트륨은 양극성 막 전기투석 공정으로 쉽게 생산되는 금속 탄산화 공정에 필수적입니다. 역 삼투압(RO), 나노여과(NF), 초여과(UF), ED 등 다양한 공정을 통해 회수가 가능하다. 본 검토에서는 알칼리 회수를 위한 이 온교환막에 의한 ED 공정에 대해 논의한다.
