This study presents a field application framework for remote safety monitoring of buildings during demolition using Total Station measurements and prism targets. A large-scale demolition site consisting of two blocks and eight buildings was selected, and five buildings with stable line-of-sight were monitored. Target prisms installed at designated floors were repeatedly observed to obtain vertical-transverse (VT) displacement components, from which building tilt (VT-corrected) and interstory drift ratios were derived as primary safety indices. To address high-frequency fluctuations caused by construction stage changes and measurement conditions, representative values were summarized for long-term trend interpretation. The maximum VT-corrected tilt was 0.00199 (B203) and 0.00197 (B101), indicating that all monitored buildings remained within the reference level of 1/500. The maximum interstory drift ratio was 0.00586 (B101), which remained below the comparison criterion of 0.010 adopted for monitoring. In addition, the maximum VT displacement at the lowest installed prism reached 0.04422 m (B202), approaching but not exceeding the comparison criterion of 0.045 m. No monotonic accumulation toward a single direction was identified over the monitoring period. The results demonstrate that Total Station based remote monitoring can provide quantitative, stage-by-stage safety information during demolition under constrained site access conditions.
최근 해운산업은 국제해사기구(IMO)의 2050 온실가스(GHG) Net-Zero 목표에 따라 강력한 탈탄소 압력에 직면해 있다. 하지만 5,000GT 미만의 중소형 연안 선박은 이러한 규제의 사각지대에 놓여있다. 본 연구는 중소형 선박을 위한 현실적인 친환경 대안으로, 메탄 올 엔진과 고온형 고분자전해질 연료전지(HT-PEMFC)를 결합한 하이브리드 시스템을 제안하고 그 타당성을 검증하였다. 실제 주기관 2기 가 설치된 연안 차도선을 대상으로 두 가지 구성 방안을 설계하여 CO2 감축 효과를 정량적으로 비교 분석한 결과, 유의미한 시사점을 도 출하였다. 보조 동력 모델(구성 A)은 기존 디젤 발전기를 150kW급 HT-PEMFC 2기로 교체하는 방식으로, 최소한의 투자로 연간 CO2를 14.8% 감축하고 항만 내 무공해 운전을 실현하였다. 반면, 추진 보조 모델(구성 B)은 2기의 PTI 모터를 장착하여 19.6%의 감축률을 달성하 였다. 두 구성 간의 감축 효과 차이는 약 4.8%p에 그치나, 구성 B는 구성 A 대비 약 1.8배의 막대한 초기 투자비와 치명적인 물리적 공간 제약(대용량 ESS실 및 모터 간섭)을 수반한다. 이를 고려할 때, 구성 A가 중소형 선박에 가장 현실적이고 비용 효율적인 초기 진입 모델 임을 입증하였다. 본 연구는 메탄올 하이브리드 시스템을 실용적인 브릿지 기술로 제시하며, 향후 그린 메탄올 사용 시 탄소 중립 달성의 가능성을 확인한 데 의의가 있다.
Background: In the South Korean private insurance sector, manual therapy faces increasing scrutiny, necessitating objective evidence for continued reimbursement. Traditional measurements often lack reproducibility or clinical practicality. Objectives: This study evaluated the feasibility of belt-stabilized hand-held dynamometry (HHD) as an objective tool for documenting strength changes and informing insurance coverage decisions. Design: A two-case clinical report. Methods: Two adult males undergoing post-operative knee rehabilitation with manual therapy were included: (1) ACL reconstruction with medial meniscus injury and (2) ORIF after knee trauma. With participants seated at the table edge and the trunk stabilized by gripping the table, knee flexion was set at 95°. Belt-stabilized HHD was used to measure isometric knee extension and flexion (three trials; maximum value recorded in N). A single examiner (>15 years’ experience) used a standardized protocol across sessions. Results: Case 1 improved from 44% (extension) and 42% (flexion) limb symmetry to 71.4% and 69.6% by session 20, supporting continued care and reimbursement after 30 sessions. Case 2 showed 60.2% extension symmetry at session 20, but subsequent reassessments lacked consistent improvement, contributing to discontinuation. Conclusion: Belt-stabilized HHD may provide a practical, low-cost method to quantify strength changes and support transparent clinician–patient–insurer communication; larger prospective studies are needed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of an unsupervised outlier-detection method as a surrogate safety measure (SSM) to estimate the effect of AI-based Bike-Safe monitoring system. An SSM that utilizes near-miss data immediately before an accident occurs must be developed to compensate for inadequate bicycle accident data and missing reports. In particular, the omission level of accident reports related to bicycle users is higher on bicycle paths, which implies that the importance of an SSM in safety management is much greater than in the general road environment. Therefore, the unsupervised outlier-detection method was set as the SSM because it can be learned without a label, is suitable for streaming data, and is generalizable under limited data. Additionally, the DeepAnT(deep learningbased anomaly detection) model was selected as the most appropriate time-series outlier-detection method. Using the time-series prediction module of the learned DeepAnT model, we analyzed the frequency of outliers or avoidance behaviors based on a linear relationship between estimated and observed values. The history data of the acceleration change rate of each bicycle were applied to the DeepAnT model to evaluate the possibility of using alternative safety indicators. Thus, those data are expected to be applicable as an alternative safety indicator for bicycle paths.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a promising tool for aquatic biodiversity monitoring, yet its collection in lentic ecosystems remains technically constrained by filtration capacity and field logistics. In this study, we applied a novel eDNA concentration system, QuickConcTM, to evaluate freshwater mussel diversity in lakes, and compared its performance with the conventional GF/F filtration method. Water samples were collected from four reservoirs at surface, mid, bottom, and waterside layers, and processed using both filtration techniques. Metabarcoding of mitochondrial 16S rDNA revealed that QuickConcTM captured a higher average number of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) and exhibited greater species richness and diversity indices (Shannon and Simpson), although the differences were not statistically significant. QuickConcTM samples showed a greater capacity to detect rare taxa and to recover higher ASV richness in certain cases, suggesting its potential to enhance biodiversity resolution. Species composition remained consistent across methods, with Cristaria plicata and Sinanodonta lauta being dominant in both cases. However, slight spatial variations in species assemblages were observed between center and waterside sampling points, highlighting the influence of habitat heterogeneity on eDNA distribution. Overall, our results demonstrate that the QuickConcTM system offers a practical and efficient alternative to traditional filtration methods for eDNA-based freshwater mussel monitoring, particularly in environments with high suspended solids. The findings underline the need for adaptive sampling strategies that consider both methodological and ecological factors when designing eDNA surveys in lentic ecosystems.
Effective cooling strategies are critical for cultivating high-quality ornamental plants during the summer. The fan-and-pad cooling system reduces greenhouse temperatures by drawing air through wet pads, which humidify and cool the air, aided by fans on the opposite side. However, the paper-based pads (corrugated cellulose) used in this system have limited durability and degrade with prolonged use. Nanocomposite hydrogels, with their polymer-based structure, can absorb and retain moisture through swelling, presenting a promising alternative. This study examines the application of nanocomposite hydrogels, focusing on their hygroscopic properties and cooling efficiency under various temperatures and wind speeds. When treated with lithium chloride solutions at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% saturation, higher LiCl concentrations reduced weight but increased swelling capacity. Optimal cooling effects were achieved with wind speeds of 1.0 m/s at 25°C and 1.5 m/s at 35°C, with greater efficiency observed at lower wind speeds. These findings suggest that integrating nanocomposite hydrogels into cooling pads could enhance durability and reduce maintenance compared with conventional paper pads.

This study was conducted to analyze New Zealand’s beekeeping industry and Manuka honey grading system to suggest characteristics and development plans for Korea’s honey grading system. Manuka honey in New Zealand is harvested from the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium). It is known for its various bioactive properties, including antimicrobial activity and antioxidants. Since 2017, the New Zealand government has been implementing national certification and grading for all exported Manuka honey. For this purpose, compositions of Manuka honey across New Zealand have been investigated and four chemical indicators and one biological indicator have been established. Currently, Korea has been fully implementing a honey grading system since September 2023, which divides honey (acacia honey, chestnut honey, and miscellaneous honey) into 1+ grade, 1 grade, and 2 grade according to Enforcement Rules of the Livestock Act. The following seven indicators are used: carbon isotope consumption, moisture content, sugar ratio, hydroxytmethylfurfural, flavor, chromaticity, and defects, similar to Codex standards or European standards. However, details are modified to suit Korean conditions. To make the Korean honey grading system more stable, it is necessary to develop and introduce different indicators for honey functionality and honey grading system maturity. In addition, it is necessary to expand the participation of farmers in the honey grading system, secure consumer trust in the honey grading system, and continue to promote it.

항공기의 활주로 이탈 사고는 대형 인명사고로 이어지고 막대한 재산 피해를 유발한다. 항공기 이탈 사고 중 활주로 끝부분에서 발 생하는 사고를 방지하기 위해 국제민간항공기구(ICAO, International Civil Aviation Organization) 및 미국연방항공청(FAA, Federal Aviation Administration)에서는 활주로 끝단에 종단안전구역(RESA, Runway End Safety Area)를 설치하도록 규정하고 있다. 그러나 대규모 공항 건설시 산악, 해상, 호수와 같은 지형적 여건과 인접한 도로, 철도와 같은 인공시설물과의 간섭으로 충분한 종단안전구역 확보에 어려움이 있어, 이를 극복하기 위해 활주로 이탈방지포장시스템(이하 EMAS, Engineered Materials Arresting System)이 개발 되었고 현재까지 해외공항 140여 곳에 적용되었다. 국내는 기준에 맞는 종단안전구역 확보에 어려움이 있는 울릉공항, 흑산공항 및 백령공항 등, 해상에 건설되는 소형공항에 적용이 검토 되고 있다. 본 논문은 해외에 활용된 활주로 EMAS의 제품 특성을 소개하고 국내도입시 고려사항을 검토하여 국내 적용방안을 제안하고자 한다.
