In this study, we propose a data-driven analytical framework for systematically analyzing the driving patterns of autonomous buses and quantitatively identifying risky driving behaviors at the road-segment level using operational data from real roads. The analysis was based on Basic Safety Message (BSM) data collected over 125 days from two Panta-G autonomous buses operating in the Pangyo Autonomous Driving Testbed. Key driving indicators included speed, acceleration, yaw rate, and elevation, which were mapped onto high-definition (HD) road maps. A hybrid clustering method combining self-organizing map (SOM) and k-means++ was applied, which resulted in eight distinct driving pattern clusters. Among these, four clusters exhibited characteristics associated with risky driving such as sudden acceleration, deceleration, and abrupt steering, and were spatially visualized using digital maps. These visualizations offer practical insights for real-time monitoring and localized risk assessment in autonomous vehicle operations. The proposed framework provides empirical evidence for evaluating the operational safety and reliability of autonomous buses based on repeated behavioral patterns. Its adaptability to diverse urban environments highlights its utility for intelligent traffic control systems and future mobility policy planning.

This study investigates the traditional costumes featured in The Purple Hairpin, a representative work of Cantonese Yue opera, and explores their creative adaptation into modern fashion design. Cantonese Yue opera costumes, known for their symbolic patterns, colors, and craftsmanship, embody the cultural and aesthetic identity of the region. Through comprehensive literature review, field research, and analysis of museum artifacts and performance images, the structural and symbolic characteristics of key characters’ costumes were systematically examined. Based on these findings, two modern womenswear designs were developed: one inspired by the Xiaoguzhuang worn by noblewomen and another based on the Yuanling, a traditional official’s robe. Each design aimed to harmonize traditional aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities and functionality. Patterns for these designs were drafted and tested using Style3D software to conduct virtual fitting simulations, which allowed for evaluating wearability, aesthetic qualities, and structural stability. The results demonstrate that the distinctive symbolic elements and artistic values of traditional Yue opera costumes can be successfully reinterpreted into modern fashion, while digital tools enhance the efficiency and precision of pattern development. This research contributes to preserving and revitalizing traditional costume culture by providing a practical methodology for modern application, as well as offering insights for future global promotion and creative use of Chinese traditional dress in contemporary fashion contexts.

Animal pattern recognition from nighttime grayscale images is crucial for wildlife protection and ecological monitoring. Most of the current models suffer from a large parameter scale, making them unsuitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments. To address this challenge, this study proposes a multi-layer knowledge distillation approach based on the teacher Convnext model to improve the lightweight student model's classification performance effectively. Experimental results show that the parameters of the distilled CifarResNet20 model are only 0.27M, and the accuracy is 88.76%, which is superior to the traditional single-layer distillation and another tiny student model. The study confirms the efficiency and practical value of the proposed method in practical applications such as ecological monitoring.

Women in their 50s undergo significant changes to their bodies, including weight gain and rapid increases in body mass index (BMI) due to menopause. This study aimed to develop a basic bodice pattern suitable for women with a “square” body type, which is the most common type among Korean women in their 50s. We used a body shape avatar representative of square-body-type women in their 50s, provided by 6th Size Korea (KATS, 2010) as the model. This avatar was loaded into a virtual fitting program to evaluate the fit of the research pattern. The results of the study were as follows. Using the 3D virtual fitting program, the ideal bodice pattern was found to be close-fitting, based on an analysis of the body surface of women in their 50s with a square body type. This population’s characteristic body features included a rounded back, forward-protruding waist, forward-tilted neck, and shoulder tips angled toward the center-front. Because of the protruding abdomen, the bodice’s waist dart value was lower than average. The base bodice design for this body type was adapted from the research pattern of Jun and Jang (2024). Adjustments for this study included adding 0.5 cm to the center-back length and designing the profile line from the back neckline to the armpit wall. Further, the front bodice waist dart was omitted to accommodate the protruding abdomen. After two rounds of revisions, evaluations of the virtual fitting significantly improved, with scores increasing from 2.38 out of 5 to 4.82 out of 5.

Background: The evaluation of Human Movements based on Taekwondo poomsae (movement patterns) is inherently subjective, leading to concerns about bias and inconsistency in scoring. This emphasizes the need for objective and reliable scoring systems leveraging artificial intelligence technologies. Objectives: This study seeks to enhance the accuracy and fairness of Taekwondo poomsae scoring through the application of camera-based pose estimation and advanced neural network models. Design: A comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of machine learning models on a large-scale Taekwondo poomsae dataset. Methods: The analysis utilized a dataset comprising 902,306 labeled frames from 48 participants performing 62 distinct poomsae movements. Five models—LSTM, GRU, Simple RNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost—were evaluated using performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1- score, and log loss. Results: The LSTM model outperformed all others, achieving an accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of 0.81, alongside the lowest log loss value of 0.55. The GRU model demonstrated comparable performance, while traditional models such as Random Forest and XGBoost were less effective in capturing the temporal and spatial patterns of poomsae movements. Conclusion: The LSTM model exhibited superior capability in modeling the temporal and spatial complexities inherent in Taekwondo poomsae, establishing a robust foundation for the development of objective, scalable, and reliable poomsae evaluation systems.

A crustose red alga, Lithophyllum neo-okamurae A.Kato, D.Basso, Caragnano, Rodondi, V.Peña & M.Baba, is reported a new record from Korea and its biogeographic distributions are extended in Korea. Lithophyllum neo-okamurae has been known as endemic species in Japan. Despite the resemblance between L. neookamurae and L. okamurae, our molecular and morphological analyses have revealed the simultaneous presence of both species in Korea. Although L. neo-okamurae and L. okamurae share morphological similarities, there are notable variations in gene sequences, with a range of 9.1-11.3% in psbA and 14.8-15.3% in rbcL. Specifically, while L. neo-okamurae is distributed throughout the entire coastline of Korea, L. okamurae is predominantly found in southern region. Furthermore, our analyses have revealed their detailed distributions in Korea.

This study explores the histological features and Bmp4 expression patterns in the replaced tooth germ of Xenopus laevis . Tooth germ formation starts from the dental placode through epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, involving various signaling pathways such as Fgf, Shh, Bmp, and Wnt. In mice, Bmp4 expression in the dental placode inhibits Pax9 expression in the dental mesenchyme. Although absent in the presumptive dental lamina of birds and toothless mammals, Bmp4 remains conserved in reptiles and fish owing to gene duplication. However, its expression in amphibian tooth germs is poorly understood. Three-month-old X. laevis were employed in this study. Initially, samples underwent paraffin embedding and were sectioned into 5 or 12 μm ribbons for H&E staining and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results revealed teeth appearing in two maxillary rows: the labial side, with prefunctional and functional teeth, and the lingual side, with replaced tooth germs behind functional teeth. Enameloid was observed between the inner dental epithelium and dental mesenchyme at the cap or early bell stages, whereas enamel and dentin formed during the late bell or mineralization stages from the replaced tooth germ. Bmp4 expression was evident in the inner dental epithelium (ameloblasts), dental papilla (odontoblasts), stellate reticulum, and Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath. Overall, these findings highlight the conservation of Bmp4 expression in X. laevis tooth development.

This study aimed to reconfirm the sex change scale and pattern of Tegillarca granosa. Although the sex ratio (female : male, female proportion) of T. granosa was 1:2.32 (30.2%) at the initial stage (2011) of the study, it was 1:0.94 (51.5%) after one year (2012) in the same population. The increase of the female proportion was greater in the 2+ year class (23.0%) when compared to the 1+ year class (19.2%). Overall, sex change ratio of 37.6% was observed in this population of T. granosa. The sex change ratio of the 2+ year class (39.3%) was higher than that of the 1+ year class (35.3%). And sex change ratio in the males (42.2%) was higher than that in the females (26.9%). The female proportion was the opposite of the result from 2006~2007, and one of the causes was presumed to be the difference in cumulative water temperature during the gonadal inactive stage (winter).

수생식물은 지각류의 종다양성과 풍부도를 결정하는 중요한 요인이지만, 식물의 종구성이나 구조에 대한 지각류의 영향은 충분하게 고려되지 않았다. 남한은 수생식물이 피복되기 쉬운 습지나 저수지가 전국에 산재하고 있기 때문에 지각류를 포함한 생물 연구 시 수생식물에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 6가지 유형의 미소서식처에서 지각류 군집의 종수와 풍부도를 조사하고, 이 결과를 기반으로 서식처 보전과 효율적인 관리에 대해 고찰하고 한다. 지각류 군집의 높은 종수와 풍부도는 부유식물, 부엽식물, 그리고 침수식물이 함께 구성된 혼합된 식물 군락에서 목격되었다. 식물 군락에서 침수식물의 포함은 서식처 구조의 복잡성에 크게 기여하며, 지각류 군집의 종수와 풍부도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이는 침수식물이 부재한 부유 및 부엽식물로만 구성된 식물 군락과 비교함으로서 침수식물의 효율성을 파악할 수 있다. 혼합된 식물 군락에서는 다른 식물 군락에 부재하는 지각류 종 (Graptoleveris testudinaria, Ilyocryptus spinifer, Leydigia acanthocercoides)이 출현함으로서 종다양성이 가장 높았다. 혼합된 식물 군락에서 침수식물의 점차 적인 생물량 (g) 증가는 지각류 군집의 종수와 풍부도를 유의하게 증가시켰다 (p<0.05). 이는 혼합된 식물 군락에서 침수식물의 증가가 지각류의 서식처로서 효율성에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 강력한 증거이다. 비록 침수식물은 수중에 침수되어 서식하기 때문에 경관적/미적인 가치에 크게 기여하지 않지만, 생물학적 측면에서 종다양성을 증가시키는 효과를 가지기 때문에 습지 창출/복원 시 중요하게 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

씨고자리꽃파리(Delia platura)는 온대지역의 해충으로 콩과, 백합과, 십자화과 작물뿐만 아니라 옥수수, 감자, 당근 등 기주범위가 매우 넓 은 해충으로 알려져 있다. 씨고자리꽃파리는 여름철 이후 발생이 급격히 감소하거나 사라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 씨고자리꽃 파리의 특이한 연간 발생양상을 이해하기 위하여 몇 가지 온도와 광조건에서 발육실험과 야외에서 성충발생양상을 조사하였다. 광조건(16L:8D, 12L:12D)과 관계없이 처리온도 21, 24, 27°C에서 하면증상 없이 성충까지 성공적으로 발육하였다(번데기 생존률 : 93.5~100.0%). 고온(광조 건 16L:8D)인 30 및 33°C에서도 하면이 유도된 발육단계는 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 씨고자리꽃파리의 여름철 후 감소현상은 하면가설로 설명 이 어려웠다. 2021년과 2022년 포장조사(제주)에서 7월 중순부터는 성충이 점착트랩에 거의 유살되지 않는 양상을 보였다. 고도별 트랩을 설치 한 2023년 조사에서 높은 고도인 620미터 트랩에서는 전체적으로 발생량이 적었고 연간 특별한 양상을 보이지 않았다. 저고도 70미터와 중간고 도 300미터는 2개의 발생최성기(peak)가 관측되었으며, 보다 서늘한 지점의 300미터 트랩의 발생최성기는 70미터 트랩과 비교하여 약 40일 정 도 지연되어 나타났다. 특히 300미터 트랩에서는 여름철 이후 9월 중순까지도 트랩에 유살되는 성충이 관찰되었다. 아직은 완벽하지 않지만 고온 회피설이 씨고자리꽃파리의 후기 발생을 부분적으로 설명할 수 있었다. 더 정확한 해석을 위해서는 앞으로 고온 산란임계온도와 더불어 생식적 휴면(하면)의 여부, 고온회피행동의 구체적 양상 등에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
