The bicycle is an environment-friendly transport mode leading to a more sustainable transportation system. To innovatively increase the use of bicycle as a significant transport mode, bicycling-friendly roadway environment should be provided. From this perspective, the scientific and effective assessment of roadway environment in term of the bicyclist perception for safety and comfortability is of keen interest. This study develops a methodology for evaluation cycling environment using probe bicycles. A global positioning system(GPS) based speedometer was used to collect bicycle speed data. Cycling comfortability index(CCI) was derived for the purpose of evaluating cycling environment. The proposed CCI can be effectively used as an assessment tool in the field of bicycle transportation.

Diverse types of meteorological disasters that are frequently occurring at the present time, such as urban flooding, draught, heat waves, or tropical nights do not only cause casualties and property damages but also make it difficult to preserve the natural environment of the city. That is why Low Impact Development or Green Infrastructure has recently received lots of attention as a means to minimize meteorological disasters, adapt to climate change and to leave a better urban environment for the next generation. As of now, Korea's low impact development and green infrastructure technology are standing at the stage of incubation or demonstration. Both central and provincial governments have accelerated the updating of laws and regulations, which allows us to turn the Gray City with Gray Infrastructure that only uses water into a Green City with Green Infrastructure that manages the water. To spread and distribute such a notion in a systemic way, it requires new technology development tailored to Korea, verification of technology, and maintenance of related technological standards, cooperation with other industries, training & promotion, and the participation of citizens.

Recently, with the world-wide issues about global warming and CO2 reduction, a number of distributed generations(DGs) such as photovoltaic(PV) and wind power(WP), are interconnected with the distribution systems. However, DGs can change the direction of the power flow from one-direction to bi-direction, and also change the direction and amount of fault current of existing distribution systems. Therefore, it may cause the critical problems on the power quality and protection coordination. This paper proposes an operation algorithm for bi-directional protection coordination using and apply it for the evaluation system for protection coordination. From the simulation results It is found that the proposed method is more effective and convenient than existing method.

We introduce Gaussian (or paraxial) optics that can be successfully applied to design, for use in a color analyzer, a non-imaging optical system on a measurement probe for LCD display. The color analyzer is used to decompose colored lights leaving from some measurement area on the LCD display to red, green, and blue. The color analyzer must include a condenser lens whose purpose is to gather colored lights to illuminate a small area on the sensor. In order to satisfy a reduction ratio between the measurement area and the sensing area with a non-imaging condition, a condenser lens is analytically treated by means of Gaussian optics so that good understanding of the non-imaging condenser lens is achieved as a good design is derived. As a result, the technique shows the necessity of analytical treatment in contrast to the design approach using only commercial software such as CODE-V, Light-Tools, and others. Of course, CODE V and Light-Tools are also utilized in this paper to confirm and complete the Gaussian optical design.

최근 생체재료의 개발이 눈부시게 발전되고 생체적합성이 우수한 표면을 요구함에 따라 생체재료의 표면처리에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. Laser Deposition법은 항공기 부품제조 분야에 주로 사용되고 있으며 최근에 오하이오 주립대 타이타늄합금연구센터를 중심으로 표면처리에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어졌다. 특히 이를 이용하여 치과재료의 표면처리에 응용을 시도하였다. 치과에서 응용될 수 있는 경우는 주로 임플란트는 부분 또는 완전 무치악 환자의 보철수복에 사용되는 보철물의 제작등에 사용될 수 있으며 이중에서도 특히 생체용 임플란트의 표면처리응용으로 임플란트와 조직간의 접합성을 개선하는 표면처리법으로 연구되었다. 임플란트의 성공과 실패는 물성적인 측면에서 임플란트의 형태, 표면거칠기 및 표면처리방법, 초기하중 등에 의하여 좌우되며 임플란트 재료에 작용하는 응력차폐는 생체적합성을 좌우하는 큰 요인이 되고 있다. 이를 위하여 저 탄성계수합금을 설계하지만 하중을 버티는 강도가 낮아지는 단점이 있어 레이저증착법을 이용하여 임플란트재료인 Ti6Al4V합금에 탄성계수가 낮은 Ta, Nb등을 코팅하는 방법을 통하여 이를 해결하고자하는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 이 방법은 최근의 3D 프린팅의 원리가 되고 있다. 따라서 발표에서는 Laser Deposition방법을 이용하여 치의학분야에서 응용되고 있는 예를 강연하고 응용 가능 분야에 대하여 토론 하고자한다. 또한 펨토레이저를 이용하여 생체합금의 표면처리는 생체활성화를 더욱 증진시키며 이를 위하여 많은 연구 수행되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 매식용 합금 표면에 펨토레이저를 이용하여 텍스춰링하여 세포가 잘 성장 할 수 있는 크기의 조절함으로써 기존의 표면처리와는 다른 효과를 얻을 수 있는 장점을 알아본다. 펨토레이저를 이용하면 여러 가지 형태의 텍스춰링이 가능하며 원형, 사각형등등 자유자제로 형태의 묘사가 가능하고 깊이 또한 쉽게 조절할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지금까지는 표면 개질에 사용되는 레이저는 주로 Nd:YAG 레이저의 파장을 반으로 줄인 녹색레이저 (${\lambda}=532nm$)를 사용하거나, 자외선파장영역의 레이저를 사용하는 경우가 일반적으로 가장 보편화되었다. 이를 이용하여 제조된 Ti합금에 펨토 초(10-15 second) 펄스폭 대역을 갖는 레이저를 이용하여 나노크기의 미세 요철을 표면에 형성한 후, 나노튜브를 형성하여 그 표면특성의 변화를 알아보고 펨토레이저가 의료분야에 적용되고 있는 예를 살펴보고자 한다.

Micro-simulation models have been recognized as an efficient assessment tool in developing traffic signal control technologies. In this paper a prototype of a microscopic simulation model which can be applied to evaluate the performance of traffic-adaptive signal control strategies was developed. In the simulation process, space-based arrays were appled to estimate parameters of car following and lane changing models. Two levels of link types, a micro-type and macro-type links, were also embodied in the simulation process. The proposed model was tested on a test network consists of 9 intersections. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated in link by link comparisons with the results of NETSIM. The results show that the proposed model could appropriately simulate traffic flows of the test network. The model also produces traffic adaptive signal timings, cycle lengths and green times for turning movements, based on the detector data. It implies that the optimization process of the model produces reasonable signal timings for the test network on the cycle basis.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a development plan for the waterfront in the coastal ocean. The research method is conducted mainly on various materials such as marine design, waterfront, marine industry, harbor waterfront space, marine landscape related reports, papers, and articles. As a result, it was found that it is urgent to move, dismantle, and manage various sculptures or structures that are installed on the shore and cause visual pollution. The location management and maintenance of indiscriminately scattered fishing grounds are urgently needed, secure sufficient green buffer space, develop coastal marine roads across the country, create eco-tourism sites, contribute to regional revitalization and secure the production value of aquatic products by restoring the ecosystem. This study is expected to contribute to suggesting a direction for maintenance by focusing on the main management measures of the waterfront rather than the aspect of reckless development of marine design.
