Due to the limited experimental data on the seismic performance of concrete-encased steel columns, standardized guidelines for nonlinear modeling parameters and acceptance criteria have not yet been developed. This study utilized analytical and numerical methods to predict the nonlinear behavior of concrete-encased steel columns with H-shaped steel sections. The findings of this study have direct and practical implications for the design and evaluation of concrete-encased steel columns. For instance, for concrete-encased steel columns constructed with normal-strength concrete and subjected to low-to-moderate axial load ratios, the yield rotation angle can be determined through fiber-based section analysis and analytical equations, and the nonlinear modeling parameter can be evaluated based on section analysis and the proposed empirical equation. For concrete-encased steel columns with high-strength concrete or high axial load ratios, inconsistencies between section analyses and experimental results are observed. Accordingly, the nonlinear modeling parameter a can be evaluated using the proposed empirical equation. The empirical equation was conservatively developed based on the modeling parameter criteria for reinforced concrete columns in ASCE 41-13.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by GLA mutations, leading to a deficiency in α-Galactosidase A activity and subsequent accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). This accumulation contributes to progressive multiorgan dysfunction, with cardiovascular complications, particularly endothelial dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy being major drivers of disease morbidity and mortality. Although enzyme replacement therapy is currently the standard treatment, its effectiveness is limited in addressing advanced cardiovascular pathology. To better understand Fabry-associated vascular and cardiac phenotypes, an isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model in which GLA was knocked out was developed using CRISPR/ Cas9. GLA-knockout (GLA-KO) hiPSCs were differentiated into endothelial cells (ECs) and cardiomyocytes (CMs) to evaluate disease-relevant phenotypes in vitro . GLA-KO ECs exhibited normal morphology and differentiation capacity but showed markedly impaired tube formation, high expression of inflammatory genes ICAM1, VCAM1, and SELE, and increased mitochondrial and cytoplasmic reactive oxygen species levels. GLA-KO CMs demonstrated enlarged cell size and nuclear translocation of NFATC4, consistent with hypertrophic remodeling. Together, these findings recapitulate key features of Fabry vasculopathy and cardiomyopathy in a genetically defined, human-derived system. This platform enables direct investigation of Gb3-induced oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms and provides a valuable model for the preclinical evaluation of therapeutic strategies targeting the cardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease.

Defense Modeling & Simulation (M&S) techniques are used for developing the efficiency and economics of national defense at operational level so that it maintains interoperability and reusability in sustainability for the following process of the war simulation. However, the lack of conceptual models was one cause of limiting the interoperability and reusability in defense M&S areas. In this paper, the Conceptual Model of the Mission Space (CMMS) is studied as preliminary process for the defense M&S. The conceptual modeling framework called CMMS-K (Conceptual Model of the Mission Space-Korea) is suggested using a case example in consideration of the Korean Army specification and characteristics. The practicality of CMMS-K is evaluated through the ontology development for military scenarios. It is expected that the gap between the theoretical approach and the practical perspective of defense M&S can be diminished through the use of these approaches.

This paper presents a finite-difference method (FDM)-based heat-transfer model for predicting black-ice formation on asphalt pavements and establishes decision criteria using only meteorological data. Black ice is a major cause of winter road accidents and forms under specific surface temperature and moisture conditions; however, its accurate prediction remains challenging owing to dynamic environmental interactions. The FDM incorporates thermodynamic properties, initial pavement-temperature profiles, and surface heat-transfer mechanisms, i.e., radiation, convection, and conduction. Sensitivity analysis shows the necessity of a 28-d stabilization period for reliable winter predictions. Black-ice prediction logic evaluates the surface conditions, relative humidity, wind speed, and latent-heat accumulation to assess phase changes. Field data from Nonsancheon Bridge were used for validation, where a maximum prediction accuracy of 64% is indicated in specific cases despite the overestimation of surface temperatures compared with sensor measurements. These findings highlight the challenges posed by wet surface conditions and prolonged latent-heat retention, which extend the predicted freezing duration. This study provides a theoretically grounded methodology for predicting black ice on various road structures without necessitating additional measurements. Future studies shall focus on enhancing the model by integrating vehicle-induced heat effects, solar radiation, and improved weather-prediction data while comparing the FDM with machine-learning approaches for performance optimization. The results of this study offer a foundation for developing efficient road-safety measures during winter.

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used to optimize solutions to problems, particularly those that are analytically impossible to solve. As their name suggests, they are inspired by the biological concepts of genetics and evolution. Our work aims to study and model a silicon-based photovoltaic generator (PVG). Among the various models available is that of the diode. Modeling was used to approximate the PVG output (voltage, current) as a function of two inputs: temperature and irradiation. The parameters of our model were identified using a real coding algorithm, with the cumulative square error was used for selection. To test the effectiveness of our model, we carried out simulation tests on the power-voltage (P-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a wide range of irradiation and temperature variations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach (GAs) and validates the parameters obtained and used in the single-diode electrical model. The results indicate that the GA technique is a better conventional parameter extraction strategy in terms of convergence. It provides globally optimal solutions.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution advances, smart factories have become a new manufacturing paradigm, integrating technologies such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and big data analytics to overcome traditional manufacturing limitations and enhance global competitiveness. This study offers a comprehensive approach by evaluating both technological and economic performance of smart factory Research and Development (R&D) projects, addressing gaps in previous studies that focused narrowly on either aspect. The research combines Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to quantitatively compare the efficiency of various topics. This integrated approach not only identifies key research themes but also evaluates how effectively resources are utilized within each theme, supporting strategic decision-making for optimal resource allocation. Additionally, non-parametric statistical tests are applied to detect performance differences between topics, providing insights into areas of comparative advantage. Unlike traditional DEA methods, which face limitations in generalizing results, this study offers a more nuanced analysis by benchmarking efficiency across thematic areas. The findings highlight the superior performance of projects incorporating AI, IoT, and big data, as well as those led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The regional analysis reveals significant contributions from non-metropolitan areas, emphasizing the need for balanced development. This research provides policymakers and industry leaders with strategic insights, guiding the efficient allocation of R&D resources and fostering the development of smart factories aligned with global trends and national goals.
