천적과 함께 천적의 서식처를 복합적으로 사용하는 Natural Enemy in First method; NEF전략을 국립수목원 열대식물자원연구센터에 적용하여 총채벌레 방제효과를 평가하였다. 그 결과 5년간 지속적인 총채벌레 밀도 억제효과를 확인하였으며, 특히 천적 적용 3년차에는 총채벌레 의 평균 밀도가 엽당 1.8마리로 전년대비 64.1%, 5년차에는 엽당 0.003마리로 전년대비 99.6%의 밀도 감소효과를 확인하였다. 또한 최초 천적 방 사 시의 천적 밀도와 비교해서 4년 후에 평균 31배 이상 높아졌다. 따라서 지속적인 천적의 적용과 해충 밀도가 증가하기 전에 예방적으로 천적을 처리하는 NEF전략이 총채벌레 방제에 효과적이었다.

In response to the global transition towards carbon neutrality, there's an increasing emphasis on sustainable energy solutions, with offshore wind power playing a crucial role, especially in South Korea. This study presents an AI-based safety management system specifically designed for offshore wind operators. At the heart of this system is a machine learning algorithm that processes sensor data to automatically recognize human behavior and improve the accuracy of predicting worker actions and conditions. Such predictive analytics not only refines the analysis of behavioral patterns, but also increases the effectiveness of accident prevention. The results of this research are expected to significantly improve safety measures in offshore wind facilities and further sustainable energy initiatives.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study was to review roadway management strategies that can be utilized in the event of a radiological emergency, select feasible alternatives, and simulate a portion of the West Coast network to analyze the effectiveness of these strategies. METHODS : The methodology of the study involved reviewing the relevant literature, extracting the implications, establishing an analysis procedure, and selecting an effectiveness evaluation scale. Using a national transportation database, a network was constructed using Toba, a macroscopic model. RESULTS : A reverse-flow lane system was applied to the West Coast Expressway Glory IC–Hampyeong IC (total 25 km), and a plan to increase the number of lanes was applied to the Seokgyo Street–Shinpyeong Intersection on National Route 23 (total extension 28 km). Consequently, both road management strategies were found to be effective. CONCLUSIONS : This study examined roadway management strategies that can be utilized in the event of a radiological emergency, selected feasible alternatives, and simulated a portion of the West Coast network to verify the effectiveness of these strategies. In the case of reverse flow lanes, it is most effective when applied to expressways that can restrict the entrance and exit of vehicles. In the case of increasing the number of lanes, it is most effective when applied to general roads, and institutional arrangements should be made to enable two-way traffic to use the reserved shoulder lanes.

Hypochaeris radicata, native to Europe and Eurasia, is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family. In Korea, H. radicata was reported in 1992, mainly in Jeju Island, and gradually spreading to the inland. It overwinters in the form of a rosette and blooms yellow flowers from May to June. H. radicata propagates by seeds and rhizomes. The germination temperature of the seed is 15/20°C (day/night), and the rhizome forms a new plant at a depth of 2-3 cm in the soil. The roots of H. radicata secrete allelochemicals that inhibit the development of other plants. Some use it as a salad or forage substitute but to a limited extent. However, extensive research on ampicillin contained in H. radicata has been conducted, and its anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects have been recognized. There are only a few methods to manage H. radicata both culturally and physically. In orchards, soil treatments such as oxyfluorfen and diclobenil, or nonselective foliar treatments such as glufosinate-ammonium and glyphosate are used. Notably, there are no known biological control agents.

In 2022, the Korean Ministry of Environment designated Parthenium hysterophorus as an ecosystem-disturbing plant. The purpose of this study was to present a management plan for P. hysterophorus considering its distribution, morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics, and to introduce various control techniques. P. hysterophorus is native to Central America and occurs in about 45 countries worldwide. However, in Korea, it only grows in some areas of Tongyeong and Changwon, Gyeongsangnam Province. P. hysterophorus is an annual plant and spreads by seeds, moves between countries in the process of importing and/or exporting agricultural seeds, and spreads by agricultural machinery and vehicles after introduction. P. hysterophorus releases parthenin, an allelochemical that suppresses the occurrence of the surrounding vegetation, from its stems and roots. In addition, P. hysterophorus causes damage to humans and livestock through various allergens. P. hysterophorus can be controlled by physical methods, such as cutting its stems or pulling roots, and by treatment with non-selective herbicides, such as glyphosate. Many biological control research studies have been conducted and, unfortunately, there is no a practical solution so far.

Lactuca scariola L. is one of ecosystem-disturbance plants that grow everywhere such as roadsides, grasslands, railroads, banks, and fields. L. scariola usually occurs in autumn. It overwinters in rosette form. It flowers and produces seeds in early summer of the next year. Seeds of L. scariola can germinate immediately without dormancy when the temperature is over 20°C. Due to endogenous bacteria in seeds of L. scariola, it has a strong drought tolerance. Thus, it can grow well on roadsides. L. scariola should be controlled as it can result in 60-80% of soybean yield loss at densities above 50 plants m-2. It is advisable to remove L. scariola as it competes with native plants by acting as a pioneer to other ecosystem-disturbance plants. Among various control methods, chemical control is the most effective method that is widely used. Soil treatment with herbicides such as oxyfluorfen EC and pendimethalin EC can inhibit the development of L. scariola. Foliar treatment herbicides glyphosate and glufosinateammonium are widely used. L. scariola is resistant to 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPA among foliar treatment herbicides. Thus, it is recommended to apply herbicides with different modes of action.

Recently, the advancement of information and communication technology(ICT) is expanding the connectivity through Internet of Things(IoT), and the media of connection is also expanding from wire/cable transmission to broadband wireless communication, which has significantly improved mobility. This hyperconnectivity has become a key element of the fourth industrial revolution, whereas the supervisory control network of purification plants in korea is operated as a communication network separated from the outside, thereby lagging in terms of connectivity. This is considered the best way to ensure security, and thus there is hardly any consideration of establishing alternatives to operate an efficient and stable communication network. Moreover, security for management of a commercialized communication network and network management solution may be accompanied by immense costs, making it more difficult to make new attempts. Therefore, to improve the conditions for the current supervisory control network of purification plants, this study developed a industrial security L2 switch that supports modbus TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) communication and encryption function of the transmission section. As a result, the communication security performance improved significantly, and the cost for implementing the network management system using Historical Trend and information of HMI(Human Machine Interface) could be reduced by approximately KRW 200 million. The results of this study may be applied to systems for gas, electricity and social safety nets that are infrastructure communication networks that are similar to purification plants.

Recently, as the complexity of system becomes increased, it becomes important to manage, track, and control the configuration information of various assets of complex systems such as plant and factory over system lifecycle. We call it configuration management (CM). CM enables us to establish and maintain the consistency of a system’s functional and physical attributes with its design requirements, and operational information throughout its lifecycle. In this study, we look through the main concept of CM and relevant research works. Also, we address the CM processes suitable to small-and-medium sized plant in terms of modeling viewpoint.

Currently, the commercialization of the 5th Generation (5G) service is becoming more prevalent in domestic communication network technology. This has reduced communication delay time and enabled large-capacity data transmission and video streaming services in real-time. In order to keep pace with these developments, K-water has introduced a smart process control system in water purification plants to monitor the status of the water purification process. However, since wireless networks are based on the public Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, communication delay time remains high, and high-resolution video services are limited. This is because communication networks still have a closed structure due to expense and security issues. Therefore, with 5G in its current form, it is very difficult to accommodate future services without improving the infrastructure of its communication networks. In recognition of these problems, this study implemented the authentication and management function of wireless networks on a wired network management system in the K-water Bansong water purification plant. The results confirmed that wired Local Area Network (LAN) services give a higher security performance than an expensive commercial wireless LAN system. This was achieved by using an Internet Protocol (IP) address management system of wired networks and the packet filtering function of the Layer2 (L2) switch. This study also confirmed that it is possible to create a wireless LAN service that is 3.7 times faster than the existing LTE communication network.

First, we classified the major disasters from the quarterly released ‘major diaster cases in construction business’from Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency according to the type of construction and presented the causes and prevention measures.

Process Hazard Analysis(PHA) have been performed for a risk management of process (petrochemical) industry for nearly 50 years. There are many PHA methods for application in the process industry, Hazop Study method has been recognized as a good method used typically in most of phase of process plant. And also there was inconvenient opinion that Hazop Study is too resource (man power, time etc.) consuming comparing its result performance (a quality of recommendations) for a good operating and existing plant. In this study, two types of PHA method - checklist and K-PSR - were performed respectively for a new para-xylene(PX)plant and 30 year old PX plant. Past history and experience of incident, operation, maintenance and so on are very important in PHA by those two methods. The higher effectiveness were realized in PHA by a checklist and K-PSR Method than prior Hazop study. And also some suggestions including PHA cycle determination, RBPS application, Follow-up plan of PHA result etc. were proposed about PHA improvement measures for a best risk management.

The aim of this report is to understand the status and management of genetic resources on ICRISAT(International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics) to promote exchange of germplasm and information. ICRISAT genebank at Patancheru, India has the responsibility to collect, conserve, characterize, document and distribute the genetic resources. Also, ICRISAT has performed the estimation of environment tolerance, disease resistance, and functional compounds of genetic resources. ICRISAT has assembled more than 120,000 accessions of chickpea, groundnut, pigeonpea, pearl millet, sorghum, and six small millets. Since 1974 to 2008, ICRISAT provided 1,350,000 accessions with 144 countries to develop new cultivars. The provision pattern of genetic resources in ICRISAT showed that more than 80 % of each crop by the total holdings resources had been offered and that it is the direction of the ideal conserve and management of genetic resources. To evaluate their genetic resources (chickpea, groundnut, pigeonpea, pearl millet, sorghum, and six small millets), they made descritors for each crop and investigated their germplasms. This report would be meaningful to understand utilization and effect of the germplasms to be held at ICRISAT.

This study aimed to evaluate the growth of Ilex cornuta Lindl. & Paxton, Cotoneaster dammeri, Ardisia pusilla ‘Variegata’, and Ilex aquifolium ‘Silver Queen’ when sphagnum moss was used for purpose of export and the pottery plants were submitted to different watering and quick versus slow release fertilizer. The growth of I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' watered 50 mL every 3 days was the highest with 16.0 cm in plant height, 79.3 in leaf number, 178.2 cm2 in leaf area, and 18.5 g in fresh weight. C. dammeri also grew best when watered every 3 days. However, the survival rate was 100% for I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' watered at 12-day intervals and C. dammeri watered at 6-day intervals or more. With quick release fertilizer of 1,000 – 2,000 mg·L-1 applied at 1- to 4-week intervals, I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' and C. dammeri, plant height, number of leaf, leaf area, and fresh weight increased as fertilizing intervals were shorter. During the short quick release fertilizing at 4-week intervals, the survival rate remained 100%. With slow release fertilizer of 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg applied at intervals of 6, 12, and 18 weeks, I. cornuta Lindl. & Paxton and A. pusilla ‘Variegata’ plant height, number of leaf, leaf area, and fresh weight increased with increase of fertilizer amounts and shorter intervals of fertilizing. However, concentration of fertilizer had no effect on plant growth. During the short slow release fertilizing at 18-week intervals, the survival rate remained 100%. Therefore, to improve the quality of small woody plants in the pottery aimed for export, it is preferable to water at intervals of 3 days after acclimation, and use either quick release fertilizer at 3-week intervals or slow release fertilizer at 12-week intervals.
