This study reviewed previous research on livestock manure application in forage crop fields, with a focus on forage productivity, forage quality, and Hanwoo carrying capacity per unit area. This work was conducted as a narrative review, not as a systematic review or meta-analysis. Studies published between 2000 and 2025 were collected from the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), the Korean Citation Index (KCI), DBpia, and Google Scholar. Many studies reported that manure application increased dry matter yield and improved forage nutritional components such as crude protein and total digestible nutrients. However, the size of these effects differed depending on crop type, soil condition, weather, and application rate. In several cases, nutrient use efficiency was lower under high rainfall or unstable temperature conditions, especially when liquid manure was applied. Carrying capacity was estimated using assumed animal body weight and forage contribution. When different assumptions were applied, the calculated values changed. This shows that carrying capacity is not a fixed number but a relative measure, and the results should not be used directly without considering farm management conditions. Livestock manure application increased forage production and helped nutrient movement in crop–livestock systems. However, similar results cannot be expected in all environments. Future studies should consider soil characteristics, forage productivity, forage use, and livestock performance together.

As domestic traffic policies have shifted from vehicle-centric approaches to a ‘Safe Speed’ paradigm, the installation of roundabouts has surged. However, existing studies based on linear statistical models have failed to identify the complex non-linear interactions between geometric features and accident severity, limiting their ability to provide concrete design thresholds. To overcome the lack of traffic volume data, this study developed a geometry-based Design Capacity Index (DCI) and proposed a new analytical framework using the Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) rate per unit capacity as the dependent variable. Utilizing a dataset of nationwide roundabouts (2007–2020), a grid search-optimized eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model and SHAP analysis were applied, achieving a 40.5 % performance improvement over linear baselines. The results revealed that circulatory roadway width was a dominant factor; contrary to the 'Road Diet' theory, ensuring 'Geometric Sufficiency' (wider lanes) proved more effective for safety in medium-to-large roundabouts. Furthermore, a 'Broad Optimal Zone' was identified within an inscribed circle diameter (ICD) of 35–70 m, while a 'Paradox of Scale' emerged beyond 70 m where safety benefits plateaued. Additionally, raised crosswalks served as essential offset measures, consistently reducing accident costs regardless of the intersection size. Based on these findings, this study provides empirical evidence for revising design guidelines to prioritize the 35–70 m ICD range and advocates for the mandatory installation of physical calming measures in oversized roundabouts.

Bimetallic sulfides, as high-performance anode materials, exhibit high theoretical capacity. However, their practical application is hindered by inherent limitations, such as low electrical conductivity, sluggish charge transfer kinetics, and severe volume expansion. Interface-engineered heterostructures have emerged as a universal strategy to synergistically enhance conductive networks and suppress mechanical degradation. Carbon-based composites serve as optimal substrates due to their high conductivity and structural flexibility. In this study, we leverage the hierarchical porous architecture of expanded graphite (EG) to confine the self-assembly of Zn/Co precursors via a thiourea-assisted hydrothermal method, enabling in situ growth of Zn0.76Co0.24S nanoparticles within EG interlayers. Interfacial S–C covalent bonding, induced by π–π conjugation, establishes robust nanoscale coupling between Zn0.76Co0.24S and the carbon framework. The resulting “sandwich” heterostructure demonstrates exceptional cyclability (1086.9 mAh·g−1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 A·g−1) and rate capability (541.7 mAh·g−1 at 2.0 A·g−1). This work provides a generalizable design paradigm for high-performance multimetallic sulfide anodes through atomic-scale interface engineering.

Akaganeite (β-FeOOH) and hybrid active materials (akaganeite/maghemite (γ-Fe2O3)) containing carbon nanoparticles have been successfully developed through hydrothermal process using oxidation debris of graphene oxide and iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate. The obtained akaganeite sample and the hybrid material containing 29% akaganeite and 71% maghemite were confirmed using Mӧssbauer analysis. Two types of cathode made of akaganeite (β-FeOOH) and hybrid active materials supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for RGO/AKA-100 and RGO/AKA-29 were taken as the main air electrode. The full-cell zinc–air battery prototypes (with 6 M KOH electrolyte) were tested for 500 cycles at room temperature. The result showed that the discharge capacity was achieved as high as 131.05 mAh/cm2 for RGO/AKA-100 and 137.26 mAh/ cm2 for RGO/AKA-29. These performances are better than that using zinc–air batteries with carbon black/MnO2 (CB/ MnO2) as air cathode, that give a discharge capacity of 115.7 mAh/cm2. The charge–discharge efficiency of RGO/AKA-100 and RGO/AKA-29 was examined in relation to their distinct catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) when incorporated into electrochemically rechargeable zinc–air batteries. In addition, the different morphology of zinc deposit and dendrite was characterized using SEM, TEM, and PXRD analysis. From this study, the high performance of active material was suggested to be due to the hybrid effect among akaganeite, maghemite, and reduced graphene oxide, which can produce a synergetic improvement.

Growing demand for edible flowers that combine aesthetic appeal and functional benefits has prompted research on light-based strategies to improve their quality. This study examined the impact of varying blue (B) light exposure on morphological traits, antioxidant activity, and phytochemical accumulation in two Viola cultivars with different petal sizes. Plants were cultivated under a 12-h daily photoperiod, with irradiation duration via white (W) and B LEDs varied among treatments (W12+B0, W8+B4, W4+B8, and W0+B12) while maintaining constant light intensity. Results indicated that prolonged B light exposure significantly increased plant height and flowering rate, particularly in the smaller-petaled cultivar “Delta Beaconsfield” (DB), and also enhanced anthocyanin accumulation and ABTS-based antioxidant activity. Conversely, the cultivar “Delta Trueblue” exhibited higher total phenolic and flavonoid levels under mixed W+B light illumination and showed stronger DPPH radical scavenging capacity. Notably, DB retained elevated chlorophyll levels under monochromatic B light, suggesting a unique photoadaptive or light-harvesting mechanism. The cultivars differing responses across assays highlight variation in light-regulated synthesis of hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants. These findings emphasize the potential of spectral manipulation, especially through B light, to improve the functional value of edible Viola flowers.
This study presents energy-saving performance analysis of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) that uses seawater-source heat pumps to control the seawater temperature in the breeding tank. The analysis is based on artificial neural network (ANN) and TRNSYS-based digital twin simulations. The complex thermal load of the RAS, which fluctuates in real time due to changing environmental conditions, is simulated using the dynamic simulation software, TRNSYS. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was designed based on the dynamic heat load calculated by TRNSYS and the water temperature data of the breeding tank enabling capacity control of the inverter manipulator of the heat pump. At this stage, energy is saved through the control of the variable speed compressor responding to the partial load via the inverter. Power consumption was predicted at appropriate time intervals using a custom-built ANN model. The prediction results are used to determine the optimal number of heat pumps to operate. Through the digital twin simulation, the proposed heat pump capacity control is compared with conventional operating number control in terms of temperature regulation performance and power consumption. The results demonstrated that the proposed method can be easily implemented in Matlab and significantly improves energy efficiency in RAS farms.
Wet pavement friction decreases with an increase in water film thickness (WFT), leading to a significant increase in vehicle crashes. The British pendulum test described in ASTM E303-93 is a method used to measure the pavement friction under wet conditions for the input of geometric design and pavement management systems. The British pendulum number (BPN) under wet conditions varies with WFT. Following the ASTM E303-93 standard procedure, WFT was simulated by spraying water onto the pavement surface. However, the measurement of the BPN did not include specific information regarding the WFT present during testing. To address these issues, WFTs and BPNs are measured using artificial rainfall generated by a rainfall simulator across various intensities, drainage lengths, pavement slopes, and pavement surfaces. This study aims to investigate the influence of the WFT on the BPN for wet pavement friction and provide the WFT corresponding to each BPN measurement for different surface types. The BPNs and WFTs of three test slabs, including diamond grooving and tining surfaces with 16 mm and 25 mm spacing, were measured under wet conditions by spraying water and creating WFTs using a rainfall simulator. Measurements were taken in both longitudinal and transverse directions, considering different rainfall intensities (40 mm/h, 80 mm/h, and 130 mm/h), pavement slopes (2%, 5%, and 10%), and drainage path lengths (1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m). The test results indicated that wet pavement friction decreased as the WFT increased that was influenced by several factors including the pavement slope, mean texture depth, rainfall intensity, and drainage path length. Specifically, the WFT tended to increase with a decrease in the pavement slope and an increase in the mean texture depth, rainfall intensity, and drainage path length. In particular, surface texture played a significant role in the wet friction performance, with diamond-grooved pavements. Among the tested surfaces, the diamond-grooved (longitudinal and transverse) pavements demonstrated a more effective wet friction performance, maintaining higher BPN values across varying WFT levels. Conversely, longitudinally and transversely tined surfaces with 25 mm spacing showed a more significant decrease in BPN, reflecting a higher sensitivity to WFT. In contrast, tined surfaces with 16-mm spacing exhibited a more gradual reduction in friction, likely owing to enhanced drainage and better resistance to water-induced friction loss. Additionally, these results indicated that longitudinal textures demonstrated a more significant reduction in friction with increasing WFT compared with transverse textures. This demonstrated that the texture type, direction, and spacing significantly influenced the friction loss under wet conditions, with diamond grooving offering the best overall performance. This study highlighted the critical role of WFT in pavement friction design, emphasizing the need to consider the WFT for a more accurate assessment of wet pavement friction. The WFT was influenced by factors such as the pavement slope, rainfall intensity, drainage path length, and surface texture. The diamond-grooved pavements demonstrated a more effective wet friction performance, maintaining higher BPN values across varying WFT levels. In contrast, tined surfaces with larger spacings exhibited more significant friction loss, whereas those with smaller spacings showed a more gradual reduction, likely owing to better drainage. In particular, longitudinal textures showed a greater reduction in friction compared with transverse textures. Overall, the texture type, direction, and spacing played crucial roles in wet friction performance, with diamond grooving offering the best results.

This study analyzed the emission characteristics of major air pollutants (dust, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, and carbon monoxide) emitted from domestic public waste incineration facilities based on their operating elements. Using automatic measuring equipment for smokestacks (TMS), data was collected from 97 facilities from 2015 to 2023. The emission source unit (kg/ton) was evaluated based on the facility’s capacity, aging level, and incineration type. Emissions were calculated, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed based on the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the larger the facility capacity, the lower the average emission and volatility, which suggests that the operational stability of large facilities is high. On the other hand, facilities that had deteriorated for 10 to 15 years had the highest emission rates, and emissions decreased in facilities that were aged more than 20 years. In addition, the pyrolysis and high-temperature melting incineration facilities had lower NOx and HCl emissions than the conventional incineration type. Furthermore, CO showed the greatest volatility overall, which was found to be particularly difficult to manage in facilities in the early to mid stages of aging. These results provide empirical evidence that the structural characteristics and incineration type of incineration facilities have a significant impact on air pollutant emissions and can serve as useful basic data for policy-making, including for implementing region-wide initiatives and planning major repairs in the future.
원전에서 발생 가능한 중대사고 중 하나인 용융 노심-콘크리트 상호작용(Molten Core Concrete Interaction, MCCI)은 노심의 용융물이 격납용기 하부의 콘크리트를 침투하면서 콘크리트의 물리적 및 화학적 분해를 유도하고, 이로 인해 구조적 손상이 발생하게 된다. 더불어, 분해 과정에서 발생하는 비응축성 가스와 수증기로 인해 내부압력이 급격히 상승할 수 있다. 본 연구는 MCCI 가 발생하는 상황에서 원전 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 격납용기(Prestressed Concrete Containment Vessel, PCCV)의 내부압력 저 항능력을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 APR1400을 대상으로 MELCOR 코드 기반의 사고 시나리오를 통해 압력 및 온도 상승을 모사하였으며, 검증된 유한요소 해석모델을 이용해 구조응답을 분석하였다. 내부압력 저항능력은 글로벌 후프 변형률(global hoop strain)과 등가소성변형률(equivalent plastic strain) 두 가지 한계상태 기준에 따라 비교 분석하였다.
