As the 3D laser scanning technology capable of databaseing large sewage box culverts becomes possible, it is necessary to develop a standardization manual that can clearly distinguish the structural and operational defect types of box culver and analyze the defect data. In this study, we collected and analyzed defects in sewage box culverts of 14,827m in total by selecting three districts in Korea. The major defects were surface damages, and their defect densities were 2.17 m2/m, 0.27 m2/m and 0.10 m2/m for aggregate exposure, Steel reinforcement exposure, and Steel reinforcement projecting. In order to support the decision of the box culverment management, it was divided into five grades and each defect code and defect score were allocated. The results of this study are useful for the diagnosis of the sewage box culverts in Korea and it is expected to support a decision making for management.

Climate change is the biggest environmental issue of our times. A variety of activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have been in progress to observe the Kyoto Protocol. Especially, the Energy Target Scheme is created to reduce greenhouse emission with the supervision of Korean government. This includes Green-house Gas Information Systems to promote activities in the private sector to reduce green-house gas emissions, to cut a cost of energy use, and to reduce GHG emissions. Also, the system has calculated the amount of greenhouse gases. Without any additional investment, 2.75% savings are increased over the previous year. In service sector, a cooperation of customers and employees is necessary. A reduction of GHG emissions requires a proper service organization, considering an amount of investment and payback period. Without any additional investment or replacement, employees can save energy easily turning off ventilation systems an hour before employees’ departure, installing timers to turn off water purifiers and vending machines after some period of no use. The Green-house Gas Information System is similar to that of Environmental Management System. However, the Excel is the best program to calculate an amount of green-house gas emissions, and to assess for a reduced amount of GHG emissions. A goal of this research is to propose a practical method in the private sector to calculate an amount of green-house gases. The Green-house gas Information System based on Excel spreadsheet gives standards for good evaluation. The greenhouse gas information system establishes and executes the policies and objectives related to greenhouse gas emissions Similar to ISO 14001 environment management system structures, the advantages of using simplified Excel Sheet for calculating GHG emissions and reducing GHG emissions are easy to access.
More people travel oversea as the economic size of Korea is getting larger and more new jobs are requested to be created by the society. To respond to these trend and request, Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) is about to expand its processing capability with a new terminal; 54 million passengers to 72 million. IIAC is also introducing new strategies such as open innovation (OI) and creating shared value (CSV). With these changes, IIAC faces new challenges of restructuring its business and organization with new ideas. Most organizations including IIAC are becoming more dependent on external resources to keep their competitive advantages under the turbulence of global business environmental changes. Therefore, they focus on the OI paradigm which is reported as a convincing strategy to improve competitiveness in terms of budget and time-to-market. OI is to quickly react to the rapidly changing business environment and is adopted to support startup incubation. In the previous research with IIAC, three major tasks were defined; utilizing the IIAC brand power for external vendors, building a technology road-map, and introducing a collaboration support system. This paper deals with the collaboration system as proposed in the previous research. We focused on the collaboration process for startup incubation. Cases were studied; the K-startup model by the government, a university model to explore youth startups, and a R&D institute model to study professional startups. Based on the case studies, we defined an IIAC model and proposed issues to take care of. The model is distinguished from the other studied models since IIAC is a prospective customer of new technology.
김치 제조공정 중 절임배추 제조공정은 원료검사, 세절, 절임, 세척, 탈수, 포장의 공정으로 구성되며 절임배추의 품질은 제조공장의 생산설비, 절임환경 및 절임조건에 따라 달리 나타난다. 생산시스템은 제조공정을 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 사람과 설비 및 일하는 방법인 업무 프로세스의 집합을 말하며 제조현장과 관련된 여러 가지 자동화 시스템 중 MES(Manufacturindg Execution System)는 주문에서 최종 제품에 이르기까지 생산 활동에 필요한 최적의 정보를 관리하는데 필요한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 절임배추 제조공정을 보다 효율적으로 관리 할 수 있는 절임배추 제조관리시스템(MES)을 개발하고 이를 통해, 김치 제품의 생산관리를 원활하게 할 수 있도록 하였다. MES 데이터베이스 시스템 설계 및 구현을 위한 ERD(Entity Relationship Diagram)는 제조 공정별로 품질기준을 설정하여 표준화하여 적용하였으며 절임배추의 생산관리는 바코드 형식의 NFC(Near Field Communication) Tag를 이용하였다. 원자재관리를 위한 모니터링 시스템은 스마트 폰을 연동한 APP(Application)형태로 Eclipse 4.4.1 luna를 통해 개발하였으며, 모든 데이터의 통신은 MES내의 Open API(Application Programming Interface)를 통해 주고 받도록 설계하였다. 결과적으로 절임배추 생산을 위한 원재료 입출고 이력 및 생산이력은 MES 시스템을 이용하여 관리가 가능하며, 추후 양념 등을 포함한 김치 제품을 관리할 수 있는 기능을 포함하는 전주기 김치 제조관리시스템의 구축이 필요하다.
BIM 설계에서 라이브러리의 구축 및 활용은 매우 중요하다. 기존 컨텐츠의 재활용이 가능하므로, 설계를 보다 효과적이 고 효율적으로 진행할 수 있다. 건축분야와 달리 토목분야, 특히 철도시설분야에서는 라이브러리의 구축 및 표준화가 미진하 다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철도시설분야에 3차원 객체 라이브러리를 구축하고 표준화하고자 한다. 철도시설물 분류체계 및 관련도면을 수집 및 분석한다. 분석된 표준도면의 항목과 분류체계 항목을 매칭하였다. 각 항목별로 라이브러리가 필요한지 여부와 그럴 경우 어떤 소프트웨어가 적절한지를 검토하였다. 사용가능한 소프트웨어는 주로 Civil 3D와 Revit 등으로 나타 났다. 향후 이를 바탕으로 철도인프라 3차원 라이브러리의 속성 항목 및 명세서를 설계하고 라이브러리를 구축할 예정이다.
국립생물자원관에서는 자체 연구과제인 ‘자생 천적자원 발굴 및 증식 사업’의 일환으로 2017년부터 한국 분포천적자원의 정보를 확인하고 분류학적 정보 및 생물 정보를 확보하여 ‘식물-해충’, ‘곤충-천적’ 관계에 대한 database구축을 수행하고 있다. 이에 한반도 전체 곤충강 중 현재까지 수집된 결과에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 2016년까지국가 생물종 목록 기준 한국에 기록된 관속식물종수는 4,455종, 곤충종수는 16,993종이며, 이 중 445종의 식물을가해하는 736종의 해충정보와 574종의 곤충에 대한 628종의 천적 정보를 확보하였다. 이 중 식물-해충-천적의 삼중관계(tritrophic interaction)가 성립되는 건수는 632건 이었다. 그러나 식물을 가해하는 해충 및 천적 정보가 확보된 분류군은농업해충인 진딧물류에 대부분 편중되어 있어(363종, 63.2%) 좀 더 다양한 분류군에 대한 정보 확보가 추후의과제이다. 본 과제를 통해 앞으로 전 곤충종에 대한 천적정보 확보를 최종 목표로 국가 생물자원의 활용에 근간이되는 자료를 제공할 수 있으리라 기대한다.
최근 빅데이터 분석이 각광을 받기 시작하면서 의료, 관광 등 각종 분야에서 빅데이터를 활용한 다양한 분석이 시도되고 있다. 빅데이터로 기존 통계로 밝히지 못했던 새로운 사실을 알 수 있기 때문이다. 교통 분야에서도 이런 측면에서 빅데이터를 주목하기 시작했다. 그 중에서도 가장 각광 받고 있는 데이터는 바로 ‘통신자료’이다. 통신자료는 휴대폰 이용자가 휴대폰을 사용하거나 사용하지 않더라도 단말기를 소지하면 기지국으로 해당 단말기의 신호가 수신되면서 기록되는 데이터를 의미한다. 여기에는 이동 행태 분석에 가장 필요한 실시간 위치 정보가 포함되어 있기 때문에 교통 분야에 매우 유용하다. 또한 그동안 추정을 통해서만 알 수 있었던 인구 전체에 대한 데이터가 집계되어 있어 불특정 다수의 수요를 파악해야 하는 교통 분야에는 상당히 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 만일 통신자료가 교통 분석의 기반 데이터로 활용된다면, 기존 설문조사에 투입되는 막대한 인력과 예산을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이런 측면에서 본 연구는 통신자료를 교통 분야에 지속적으로 활용할 수 있는 틀을 구축하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서는 통신자료를 교통 분석 목적에 맞게 조정해야 한다. 현재 통신업체에서 보유하고 있는 통신자료는 기지국의 특성상 변동성이 커 분석 영역을 고정시키기 어렵고 이동 행태를 분석하는 데도 적합하지 않다. 기존에는 이러한 한계를 인정하고 이동 패턴을 분석하는 데 포인트 정보인 기지국 좌표 정보만을 활용하였지만, 이러한 방식을 지속적으로 활용할 경우 통행자의 이동 행태를 왜곡할 가능성이 높다. 기지국의 수신범위가 둘 이상의 행정구역을 포함할 때 기지국 좌표 정보는 포인트 정보로 하나의 행정구역만을 나타내기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ㈜ KT에서 제공한 기지국 정보를 이용하여 기지국의 위치 변동 특징과 지역별 기지국 영향권 규모 특징을 분석한 후 이를 고정시킬 수 있는 방법을 모색하였다. 그리고 교통 분석 목적에 맞게 이동 행태 분석이 용이하도록 사회 경제적 특성을 반영할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 해당 방법의 타당성은 전국 단위로 해당 방법을 적용하여 기지국과 행정구역의 매칭률과 이동 패턴 분석 가능성을 검토하여 확인하였다. 분석 결과 매칭률은 100%로 나타났으며, 이동 패턴화가 가능한 규모로 형성되어 실제 교통 수요 분석에 활용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 제시한 알고리즘을 적용하면 기존 방식의 오차 발생 가능성을 줄일 수 있어 분석의 정확성을 보다 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 본 연구는 기초 연구로서 교통시설의 위치 등 이동 패턴 분석에 영향을 줄 수 있는 기타 요인들이 반영되지 않은 만큼 향후 정확성을 높이는 작업이 요구된다.
Despite increasing public concern following mass media coverage regarding the risk of radon to human health and the need to control it, there remains a lack of infrastructure for measuring and mitigating radon. Against this backdrop, this paper is part of an effort to formulate an environment-management framework that can help resolve environmental issues relating to radon, ease fears regarding the associated risks, and provide radon-specific quality services. This study aimed to suggest locally applicable measures for training experts specializing in the fields of measuring and mitigating radon mainly based on US cases in which radon measurement and mitigation certification programs have been systematically run and supervised. Given the lack of both awareness on radon and experts in Korean circumstances, it is necessary to come up with a scheme to develop a radon-specific education program and a framework for expert accreditation. Thus, as groundwork for their introduction considering local circumstances, top-down measures led by the relevant department of government-led organizations, which will act as the control tower, should first be implemented to best utilize the insufficient human resources in this area. In addition, more systematic and detailed educational programs and an expert certification system need to be developed in accordance with the established foundations, and to support their consistent operation, a relevant administrative system should be constructed.
The rapid growth of engineering technology and the emergence of systemized and large-scale engineering systems have resulted in complexity and uncertainty throughout the lifecycle activities of engineering systems. This complex and large-scale engineering system consists of numerous components, but system failure can be caused by failure of any one of a number of components. There is a real difficulty in managing such a complex and large-scale system as a part. In order to efficiently manage the system and have high reliability, it is necessary to structure a system with a complex structure as a sub-system. Also, in the case of a system in which cause of failures exist at the same time, it is required to identify the correlation of the components lifetime and utilize it for the design policy or maintenance activities of the system. Competitive risk theory has been used as a theory based on this concept. In this study, we apply the competitive risk theory to the models with combined structure of series and parallel which is the basic structure of most complex engineering systems. We construct a competing risks model and propose a mathematical model of net lifetime and crude lifetime for each cause of failure, assuming that the components consisting a parallel system are mutually dependent. In addition, based on the constructed model, the correlation of cause of failure is mathematically analyzed and the hazard function is derived by dividing into net lifetime and crude lifetime.
Tissue engineering (TE) has been developed to create functional organs and tissue by combining 3D matrix and cells in vitro. Vascularization and angiogenesis are utmost important for supply of nutrients and oxygen in tissue engineered organs. The present study was performed to isolate and characterize primary endothelial cells (EC) from aorta of alpha 1, 3-enzyme galactosyltransferase knock out (GalT KO) pig, to minimize immune rejection and analyze body immune system for future xenotransplantation studies. Isolation of primary EC from aorta were performed by incubation with dispase for 8-10 min at 37°C. Primary EC were cultured in EC growth medium on different extra cellular matrix (ECM), either collagen or gelation. Primary EC exhibits morphological characteristics and showed positive expressions of EC specific marker proteins i.e. PECAM1, KDR and VWF despite of their ECM surface; however, on collagen based surface they showed increase in mRNA level analyzed by qPCR. Primary EC cultured on collagen were sorted by flow cytometer using KDR marker and cultured as KDR positive cells and KDR negative cells, respectively. KDR positive cells showed dramatically increased in PECAM1 and VWF level as compared to KDR negative cells. Based on the above results, primary EC derived from GalT KO are successfully isolated and survived continuously in culture without becoming overgrown by fibroblast. Therefore, they can be utilize for xeno organ transfer, tissue engineering, and immune rejection study in future.
The first tram in korea was commended the operation from 1899 to 1968 as a core role of public transportation. However, tram recently is being recognized as an alternative against a traffic congestion, a super-aged society and an environmental pollution problem. Because of these advantages, we are trying to introduce tram in korea. The efforts to introduce trams have focused on the economic analysis for tram construction. But we must be interested in tram operational safety. Early opening tram accidents could affect a negative impact on the additional tram introduction. We are trying to introduce trams in Daejeon, Wi-Rye and Su-won. In this paper, I want to check the safety issues in tram operation phase.
