Recently, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been applied to various technologies such as automatic driving, robot and smart communication. Currently, AI system is developed by software-based method using tensor flow, and GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) is employed for processing unit. However, if software-based method employing GPU is used for AI applications, there is a problem that we can not change the internal circuit of processing unit. In this method, if high-level jobs are required for AI system, we need high-performance GPU, therefore, we have to change GPU or graphic card to perform the jobs. In this work, we developed a CNN-based FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip to solve this problem.

Numerical analysis was done to evaluate the fluid distribution inside of the mixing quencher to increase the reaction efficiency of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in the scrubbing column which is used for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification. Effective injection of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) solution in the mixing quencher has major effects for improving the reaction efficiency in the scrubbing column by enhancing the mixing of the aqueous $H_2O_2$ solution with the exhaust gas. The current study is to optimize the array of nozzles and the spray angles of the aqueous $H_2O_2$ solution in the mixing quencher by using the computational method. Main concerns of the analysis are how to enhance the uniformity of the $H_2O_2$ concentration distribution in the internal flow. Numerical analysis was done to check the distribution of the internal flow in the mixing quencher in terms of RMS values of the $H_2O_2$ concentration at the end of quencher. The concentration distribution of $H_2O_2$ at the end of is evaluated with respect to the different array of the nozzle pipes and the nozzle tip angles, and we also analyzed the turbulence formation and fluid mixing in the zone. The effect of the spray angle was evaluated with respect to the mixing efficiency in different flow directions. The optimized mixing quencher had the nozzle array at location of 0.3 m from the inlet duct surface and the spray angle is $15^{\circ}$ with the co-current flow. The RMS value of the $H_2O_2$ concentration at the end of the mixing quencher was 12.4%.

Because the inner environment of greenhouse has a direct impact on crop production, many studies have been performed to develop technologies for controlling the environment in the greenhouse. However, it is difficult to apply the technology developed to all greenhouses because those studies were conducted through empirical experiments in specific greenhouses. It takes a lot of time and cost to develop the models that can be applicable to all greenhouse in real situation. Therefore studies are underway to solve this problem using computer-based simulation techniques. In this study, a model was developed to predict the inner environment of glass greenhouse using CFD simulation method. The developed model was validated using primary and secondary heating experiment and daytime greenhouse inner temperature data. As a result of comparing the measured and predicted value, the mean temperature and uniformity were 2.62℃ and 2.92%p higher in the predicted value, respectively. R² was 0.9628, confirming that the measured and the predicted values showed similar tendency. In the future, the model needs to improve by applying the shape of the greenhouse and the position of the inner heat exchanger for efficient thermal energy management of the greenhouse.

In this study, based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation model developed through previous study, inner environmenct of the modified glass greenhouse was predicted. Also, suggested the optimal shape of the greenhouse and location of the heat exchangers for heat energy management of the greenhouse using the developed model. For efficient heating energy management, the glass greenhouse was modified by changing the cross-section design and the location of the heat exchanger. The optimal cross-section design was selected based on the cross-section design standard of Republic of Korea's glass greenhouse, and the Fan Coil Unit(FCU) and the radiating pipe were re-positioned based on "Standard of greenhouse environment design" to enhance energy saving efficiency. The simulation analysis was performed to predict the inner temperature distribution and heat transfer with the modified greenhouse structure using the developed inner environment prediction model. As a result of simulation, the mean temperature and uniformity of the modified greenhouse were 0.65℃, 0.75%p higher than those of the control greenhouse, respectively. Also, the maximum deviation decreased by an average of 0.25℃. And the mean age of air was 18 sec. lower than that of the control greenhouse. It was confirmed that efficient heating energy management was possible in the modified greenhouse, when considered the temperature uniformity and the ventilation performance.

This paper looks into how to enhance construction project management, focusing on the change order, which is often considered one of the major causes for construction delays, disputes, and claims in the middle east construction. First, this paper categorizes the major causes of change orders. It suggests a detailed classification standard for affecting factors resulting from change orders based on a case study result of an on-going construction project in the Middle East. In particular, this paper presents a method to apply a machine learning-based feature selection to quantify the importance of change order triggers and affecting factors. As a result, the case study identifies six major change order triggers and eight affecting factors. Also, a meaningful relationship between change order triggers and affecting factors by each category is presented. This paper will contribute to setting a clear guideline for change order management for the international plant construction field while helping prevent construction delays and cost run-ups by reducing the time required for change order resolution between project owners and contractors.

This paper describes some major schemes for developing timing signal generator which can be used for testing of 3D radars. The developed generator has a function not only to simulate information on elevation angle for the simulated target signals but also to generate a modulated signal up to 80MHz. Because this generator has an internal modulating function instead of an external modulating function and has sufficient memory enough to change the parameters according to operating programs, it realization of various test-environments for testing a radar can be made with easy and with low expense.

An axial-type turbine design technology is developed. In order to design one-stage turbine, the preliminary design method is applied, and then design parameters are chosen after analyzing gas properties within the turbine passage using the streamline curvature method. Stator blade is designed using C4 profile, and rotor blade is designed using shape parameters. Stator is manufactured as an integral type and rotor is manufactured to be disassembled from the disc for changing blade incidence angle. The output power from the rotor is measured with various RPM and input power. Experimental results show that the maximum efficiency of turbine rotor is obtained on the design point, and the output power is proportionally decreased with the negative incidence angle even the test turbine is a reaction turbine. The efficiency of turbine rotor is decreased to 5% by $7.5^{\cire}$ negative incidence angle from the designed value.

기존의 p-type 태양전지 공정과 유사한 공정으로 제작되는 n-type $ALU^+$태양전지는 후면에 Al을 screen printing하여 emitter층을 형성한 구조이다. screen printing은 공정의 단순화와 제조 단가의 저비용으로 인해, metalization 공정에서 많이 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 양산 가능한 n-type $ALU^+$태양전지 제작을 위해, 후면 Al emitter 층을 single, dobule, triple로 변경하며 Al의 양을 가변하였고, 그에 따른 특성의 변화를 연구하였다. screen printing 횟수가 변경된 후면 Al emitter 층의 특성은 DIV와 LIV 측정을 통해 분석하였다. 실험 결과 Al을 single printing 하였을 때보다, double, triple printing을 통하여 Al의 양을 증가하였을 때, DIV 데이터에서 직렬저항(Rs)가 $24.44{\Omega}/cm^2$에서 $0.31{\Omega}/cm^2$으로 감소하였고, 단락전류(Jsc)는 1.26mA/$cm^2$에서 37.7mA/$cm^2$으로 약 300% 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 프린팅 횟수에 따른 LIV 데이터의 Fill Factor를 분석하게 되면, double printing이 64.35%로 54.75%의 triple printing보다 약 1.17배 더 향상된 것으로 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 후면 Al emitter 형성시에 Al의 양이 적절하지 못한 이유로, Al emitter가 제대로 형성되지 못하거나 과하게 형성되면, 태양전지 내부에 누설 저항의 변화와 누설 전류의 증가로 인해, 단락전류(Jsc)와 Fill Factor 감소의 주요 원인이 된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

외부 데이터베이스를 사용해서 서비스하는 스마트폰 어플리케이션은 네이티브 앱과 모바일 웹을 병행하여 서비스 한다. 일반적인 어플리케이션 환경에서는 외부 데이터베이스에 리소스 및 연산 결과 등의 모든 정보를 담아 두고 접근하여 활용하는 방식을 사용하였다. 반면에 스마트폰 어플리케이션 환경에서 네이티브 앱을 활용하면 디바이스 내부에 외부 데이터베이스의 정보 및 리소스를 저장하여 활용한다. 이 경우 네이티브 앱에서 연산을 수행하고 변경되는 데이터가 발생하면 외부 데이터베이스에 접근하여 업데이트를 수행한다. 그 이유는 병행 접근이 가능한 서비스의 경우 차후에 현재 접근한 네이티브 앱이 아닌 모바일 웹으로 접근하였을 때를 대비해서 최근의 데이터를 항상 유지해야 하기 때문이다. 많은 사용자를 보유한 서비스의 경우 빈번히 발생하는 데이터 업데이트 문제로 많은 자원 소모가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 앞서 언급한 문제를 해결하고 네이티브 앱과 모바일 웹간의 데이터 연동을 위하여 외부 데이터베이스의 접근을 최소화 하는 기법을 제안한다. 실시간으로 사용자들끼리 정보를 주고받아 상호작용하는 서비스의 빈도가 상당히 낮거나 없는 스마트폰 어플리케이션 환경에서는 서버 접근을 최소화 하는 것이 좋은 방법이다. 제안의 핵심은 네이티브 앱과 모바일 웹의 기본적인 접속 정보만 외부 데이터베이스에 업데이트하여 차후 접속하는 타입이 현재와 다른 경우에만 최근에 변경된 데이터를 외부 데이터베이스에 업데이트하여 서버의 부하를 최소화 하는 것이다. 이 기술을 활용하면 서비스 업체의 경우 서버 유지비용을 낮출 수 있으며 사용자는 빈번히 일어나는 서버와의 통신에 소요되는 비용 및 끊김 현상으로 인한 불편함을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
