Even in an era where 8-meter class telescopes are common, small telescopes are considered very valuable research facilities since they are available for rapid follow-up or long term monitoring observations. To maximize the usefulness of small telescopes in Korea, we established the SomangNet, a network of 0.4{1.0 m class optical telescopes operated by Korean institutions, in 2020. Here, we give an overview of the project, describing the current participating telescopes, its scientic scope and operation mode, and the prospects for future activities. SomangNet currently includes 10 telescopes that are located in Australia, USA, and Chile as well as in Korea. The operation of many of these telescopes currently relies on operators, and we plan to upgrade them for remote or robotic operation. The latest SomangNet science projects include monitoring and follow-up observational studies of galaxies, supernovae, active galactic nuclei, symbiotic stars, solar system objects, neutrino/gravitational-wave sources, and exoplanets.

By analyzing the status of Korean tire labeling regulation and comparing the performance indicators of tire labeling in different countries, this paper expounds the serious impact of tire noise on traffic noise pollution, and puts forward that in order to improve the comfort of car ride, control traffic noise pollution and build a green tire industry, the tire labeling system should be improved, and the corresponding requirements for tire rolling noise should be put forward according to the road conditions in Korea.

The study on the tire noise due to the On-Board Sound Intensity test method. The object of this project is to prepare the countermeasure of the noise reduction according to collect tire/road noise data under various influencing factors by using On-Board Sound Intensity test method. To accomplish the object ; A automotive is used as a test platform to test tire/road noise by changing different types of tires and using On-Board Sound Intensity test system. The influence of inflation pressure, road, load, speed and pattern type on tire/road noise is compared and analyzed. At the same time, the mechanism of tire/road noise is analyzed, which provides a experimental basis for tire noise reduction.
