PURPOSES : In this study, the importance of various goals, accomplishment, composition, and operation factors of autonomous driving living labs was identified, and implications for establishing strategies to expand the performance of autonomous driving living labs are presented based on their analyzed activation factors. METHODS : We set the factors for accomplishing autonomous living labs to promote technology development and commercialization, create an autonomous living ecosystem, secure the sustainability of living labs, resolve social issues related to urban transportation, and perform factor analyses. To identify the determining factors affecting performance, we performed a multiple regression analysis based on the scores of the composition and operation factors of autonomous living lab environments. RESULTS : Among the accomplishments of autonomous driving living labs, it was found that performance activation and physical environmental factors are important for the promotion of technology development and commercialization; performance activation and promotion and communication factors are important for sustainability related to ecosystem creation; and performance activation and physical environmental factors are important for sustainability related to operational experience acquisition. Additionally, operational factors related to the developer are important for the direct resolution of urban transportation problems, and promotion and communication and performance activation factors are important for the indirect resolution of urban transportation problems. CONCLUSIONS : The findings of this study clarify that activation factors differ depending on accomplishments or goals, providing basic data for establishing accomplishment-based strategies.

국내 도로포장에서는 겨울철 결빙으로 인한 교통사고가 자주 발생하고 있다. 특히, 최근의 기후변화에 따른 동절기 사고건수가 증가 하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 도로노면 결빙 재료 및 공법, 기술들이 개발되고 현장에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 도로 노면 결빙 및 공법 관련 기술들에 대한 성능평가가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 도로환경에서 발생되는 환경조건 등의 모사를 통한 도로 노면 결빙 공법 및 기술의 성능평가를 위한 실증실험시설이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 동절기 도로포장에 대한 기본적인 환경조 건을 분석하여 이를 기반으로 도로노면 결빙 관련 환경모사가 가능한 실증실험시설을 구축하였다. 도로노면 결빙에 영향을 주는 요소 는 대기온도, 노면온도, 습도, 풍속, 기압 등의 다양한 인자가 있다. 이러한 요소중에 실증실험시설 구축에서는 대기온도, 노면온도, 습 도, 풍속을 모사할 수 있도록 하였다. 도로노면 결빙에 있어 노면온도가 중요한 요소로 작용할 수 있기에 챔버내에 시편의 온도를 제 어할 수 있는 내부챔버를 추가로 구성하였다. 또한, 도로노면 결빙을 유발할 수 있는 어는비 분사장치 및 온․습도 변화에 따른 시편 의 모니터링을 위해 열화상 카메라를 이용하도록 구성하였다. 도로노면 결빙 실증실험시설이 효율적으로 운영된다면 다양하게 개발되 는 기술들에 대한 실험을 통해 성능평가가 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 이를 기반으로 실증실험시설의 운영에 대한 매뉴얼 및 평가 방법 등을 마련하는 것이 필요하다.

Climate change has led to increased insect pests and pest distribution changes. Traditionally, chemical control using synthetic pesticides has been the main method for pest management, but the emergence of pesticide-resistant pests has become a problem. There is a need to develop new pest control agents to overcome these issues. Entomopathogenic fungi used in pest management have minimal environmental side effects and possess a mechanism of action distinct from that of synthetic pesticides. However, there is a need for the development of technologies to maximize the insecticidal effects of fungi against pests, and expressing and releasing dsRNA within the fungi can preemptively knock out the activation of the insect’s defense system, thereby enhancing the insecticidal effect. Controlling insect defense genes and using entomopathogenic fungi as bio-carriers forms a new pest management strategy. This approach, described as a “microbial insecticide agents development strategy of cassette concept, ” can versatilely modify genes and microbes. It is expected to overcome the limitations of synthetic pesticides.

In this paper, a tidal power conversion system (PCS) using seawater level differences was presented.. To verify the presented PCS, an actual lab-scale tidal power generation system was constructed. The operation of the lab-scale PCS was first modeled mathematically and was analyzed through dynamic simulation and experimental tests.

A new high-tech product - lab grown meat (LGM), has been gaining media attention while initiating public discourse on social media (SM) platforms. This netnographic study is based on a dataset of selected SM public posts, comments and discussions collected during 30 days in early 2023. The findings indicate that LGM is highly contradictory, while not being fully understood how it is produced or when it will become commercially available. The findings indicate that this novel food requires carefully designed marketing strategies: when naming a new product category; must allow transparency and sensibly explain all product’s attributes; and invest time and efforts to educate consumers, leading to higher adoption rates when launched on mass consumer markets, as an alternative to conventionally grown foods.

A new type of food created in laboratories – lab grown meat (LGM) is an alternative to traditional animal farming and attracting attention of media, industry experts and consumers. Why is this new product so controversial? It is claimed that cell-based meat production is more environmentally friendly, ethical and sustainable than traditional methods that involve animals. Hence, being less harmful and potentially slowing down environmental degradation that leads to climate change. However, consumers have concerns regarding product quality, sourcing of cells used for production and use of growth serums. So many differing views are present, even before LGM is introduced as a marketable product. This paper examines what drives public discourse regarding how this new industry can be regulated, technology and how social media posts, fake news and publicly available rhetoric address consumer concerns and consumer acceptance regarding this new food category.

본 연구의 목적은 지방도시재생 리빙랩을 위한 종합적이고 체계적인 평가지표를 마련하는 것이다. 특히 이 연구는 지방소멸의 전형적인 사례인 전주 물왕멀을 중심으로 이루어졌다. 전주의 도시재생 리빙랩인 물왕멀공동체의 이해관계자들을 대상으로 조사를 실시한 결과, 여러 평가 지표 중 특히 민주성에서도 주민의 참여비중과 주민 누구나 참여가능한지의 여부를 매우 중요하게 인식했다. 이는 향후 사업책임자의 선정 시 중요하게 평가되고 고려되어야 할 지표를 시사해 준다. 종합하면, 지방도시재생 리빙랩의 성패는 주요 이해관계자인 주민의 참여에 달려있다. 특히 노령인구의 비율이 높은 지방 축소도시의 특성상, 고령자의 눈높이에 적합한 사업을 선정하고 집행하는 한편 높은 전문성을 가진 사업책임자를 배치하여 진입장벽을 낮추는 데 세심하게 주의를 기울임으로써 주민의 참여욕구를 충족하는 것이 중요하다.

This study assessed the changes in the fiber properties of virgin and recovered fibers from lab-scale and pilot-scale depolymerization reactors based on the thermal air oxidation-resistance characteristics. Lab-scale and pilot-scale depolymerization reactors had different depolymerization volumes. Results showed that the lab-scale and pilot-scale peak solvent temperatures were 185 °C and 151 °C, respectively. The lab-scale had highest solvent temperature rate increase because of the small depolymerization volume and the dominant role of the cavitation volume. The structural properties of the recovered and virgin fibers were intact even after the depolymerization and after the pretreatment and oxidation-resistance test. We observed 1.213%, 1.027% and 0.842% weight loss for the recovered (lab-scale), the recovered (pilot-scale) and virgin fibers because of the removal of impurities from the surface and chemisorbed gases. Further, we observed 0.8% mass loss of the recovered fibers (lab-scale) after the oxidative-onset temperature because of the “cavitation erosion effect” from the dominant of the cavitation bubbles. The “cavitation erosion effect” was subdued because of the increased depolymerization volume in the pilot-scale reactor. Therefore, negligible impact of the pilot-scale mechanochemical recycling process on the structure and surface characteristics of the fibers and the possibility of reusing the recovered fibers recycling process were characteristic. Representative functional groups were affected by the thermal oxidation process. We conducted HPLC, HT-XRD, TGA– DSC, XPS, SEM, and AFM analysis and provided an extensive discussion of the test thereof. This study highlighted how misleading and insufficient small-lab-scale results could be in developing viable CFRP depolymerization process.
