The CAT methodology is a numerical analysis technique using CAE. Recently, a methodology of applying artificial intelligence techniques to a simulation has been studied. A previous study compared the deformation results according to the injection molding process using a machine learning technique. Although MLP has excellent prediction performance, it lacks an explanation of the decision process and is like a black box. In this study, data was generated using Autodesk Moldflow 2018, an injection molding analysis software. Several Machine Learning Algorithms models were developed using RapidMiner version 9.5, a machine learning platform software, and the root mean square error was compared. The decision-tree showed better prediction performance than other machine learning techniques with the RMSE values. The classification criterion can be increased according to the Maximal Depth that determines the size of the Decision-tree, but the complexity also increases. The simulation showed that by selecting an intermediate value that satisfies the constraint based on the changed position, there was 7.7% improvement compared to the previous simulation.

In recent years, image processing techniques for detecting road surface damaged spot have been actively researched. Especially, it is mainly used to acquire images through a smart phone or a black box that can be mounted in a vehicle and recognize the road surface damaged region in the image using several algorithms. In addition, in conjunction with the GPS module, the exact damaged location can be obtained. The most important technology is image processing algorithm. Recently, algorithms based on artificial intelligence have been attracting attention as research topics. In this paper, we will also discuss artificial intelligence image processing algorithms. Among them, an object detection method based on an region-based convolution neural networks method is used. To improve the recognition performance of road surface damage objects, 600 road surface damaged images and 1500 general road driving images are added to the learning database. Also, supervised learning using background object recognition method is performed to reduce false alarm and missing rate in road surface damage detection. As a result, we introduce a new method that improves the recognition performance of the algorithm to 8.66% based on average value of mAP through the same test database.

This study aims at identifying of characteristics and types of the pigments used for Dancheong(surface decorative and protective pigments) of Yaksajeon Hall in Gwallyoungsa Temple using a Micro-XRF, XRD, SEM-EDS and thereafter, comparing it with the pigments of the wall painting in the same building and with Dancheong pigments of Daeungjeon Hall. The results can be briefly summarized as two points. First, different types of pigments for red, green and white colours had been applied based on different parts of the building and more than two different pigments had been mixed to produce various colours in so me parts. Second, scientific analysis has confirmed that raw minerals for each colour groups are: Cinnabar, minium and Hematite for red; white clay and oyster shell white($Al_2O_3{\cdot}SiO_2{\cdot}4H_2O$) for white; Atacamite and Celadonite for green; carbon(C) for black; Yellow Ocher for yellow; and Lazulite for blue. Comparative analysis of such result with that of the wall paintings and of Dancheong of Daeungjeon Hall has revealed that similar minerals had been used in overall except that several different pigments had been added or removed for making green, white and yellow colour groups in some parts. In conclusion, the result has displayed that painters had used different ways of producing pigments by a type of painting or a building within the same period or for the buildings in the same buddhist temple compound.

지난 4월4일 고성 산불로 사망자 2명과 부상자 1명, 가옥 500여 채, 삼림 1757ha가 불에 탔다. 강원 산불에 이어 영덕지진 등에서 늑장대응을 보여준 재난방송시스템에는 많은 국민들에게 실망감을 안겨주었다. 재난방송 주관방송사인 KBS는 물론, MBC, SBS의 경우도 재난방송시스템에 관련 된 측면에서 본다면 아직 이웃나라 인 일본에 비해서는 매우 열악한 형편이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 점점 대형화, 다발화 하는 재난발생에 대응하기 위해서는 국가적인 차원에서도 특단의 조치가 필요하다. 미국의 경우는 차세대 재난정보 전달체계인 IPAWS(Integrated Public Alert and Warning System)를 개발해 지상파뿐만 아니라, 케이블TV, SNS 등 다양한 매체를 통해 재난정보를 신속하게 전달하고 있다. 일본도 이와 유사한 재난경보전달시스템인 J-Alert를 개발해 2020년까지는 '재난 약자 제로(Zero)시대'를 목표로 구현하고 있다. 우리나라는 지난 아현동 KT 화재사건에서도 경험했듯이 통신이 먹통이 되는 통신블랙아웃도 경험했다. 따라서 대형재난발생 시는 신속한 재난경보전달시스템이 재난피해를 줄일 수 있는 가장 중요한 생명줄이 될 수 있다. 미국이나 일본의 경우는 재난방송전달시스템을 관련법령으로 제도화 하고 있다. 특히, 일본에는 재난에 관한 모법이라고 할 수 있는 (1)"재해대책기본법"이 있는데, 이는 재해로부터 국토, 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위한 기본법으로 규정되어 있다. 그 밖에도 (2)방송법 (3)대규모지진대책특별 조치법 (4)국민보호법 (5)소방조직법 (6)수해방지법 등으로 규정하고 있다. 과거 일본도 우리나라와 같이 대형 산불이 잦았으나 요즘은 소형 산불만 발생하는 추세다. 이는 NHK가 보유한 700여 대의 로봇카메라와 전 국토를 샅샅이 감시하는 CCTV 덕택이다. 또한, NHK 보도국의 '기상 재해센터'는 재난에 대비해 40여 명의 전문 인력이 24시간 대응체제를 갖추고 있다. 나아가 NHK는 전국 12개의 거점지역에 헬리콥터 15대를 배치하여 신속하게 취재하고 있다. 이 뿐만 아니라, 46개의 지역방송국을 7개의 거점방송국으로 분할하여, 거점방송국마다 40여명의 카메라맨을 상주시켜 언제든지 재난을 취재할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 세계 각국에서 사용하고 있는 방송 주파수는 공공재(公共材)다. 국제전기통신연합(ITU : International Telecommunication Union)으로부터 주파수를 할당받아 사용하고 있기 때문에 주파수에 관한 사용 권한은 각국의 국민 모두에게 있다. 그러나 효과적인 주파수 활용을 전제로 정부가 일정한 자격을 갖춘 방송사업자에게 일시적으로 주파수 사용권을 위임하고 있다. 따라서 일본 정부도 국가적인 위기나 대형 재난발생으로 국민들의 생명과 재산이 위협받고 있을 때에는 공공재인 주파수를 즉시 재난방송으로 사용할 수 있도록 <재해대책기본법 제6조>와 방송법 제108조에 규정하고 있다.

Background: Particulate matter (PM₁₀, PM_2.5) and black carbon contribute to poor air quality in urban areas, and can also affect indoor environments. Exposure to PM can be associated with respiratory and lung diseases. Objectives: This study investigated the indoor and outdoor concentration distribution patterns of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and black carbon at an apartment building, a typical residential space in the metropolitan areas of South Korea, by season, day of the week (weekday vs. weekend), and time of the day. It aims to obtain foundational data for the effective management of pollutants and investigate the difference in pollution levels between indoor and outdoor environments. Methods: Indoor and outdoor concentrations of PM and black carbon were measured at an apartment building located in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do Province, using dust sensors and an Aethalometer AE51 (AethLabs, San Francisco, CA, USA) over the course of a year from June 2020 to May 2021. The concentration distribution patterns were analyzed by season and time of day. Results: PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations in the outdoor environment were higher than those in the indoor environment, regardless of the season. By contrast, the indoor black carbon concentration was higher than that in the outdoor environment during summer and autumn. The concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5 and black carbon were found to be higher on weekdays than during weekends, especially during rush hour, with concentrations of 25.92~56.58 ㎍/m³, 21.12~44.82 ㎍/m³, 0.63~3.40 ㎍/m³. Conclusions: The outdoor concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and black carbon were higher during the weekdays, especially during rush hour, than during weekends. This study is expected to provide basic data for the health management of apartment occupants because it is measured over a period of more than one year.

Despite the decreasing trend of anthropogenic emissions in East Asia in recent years, haze days still frequently occur in spring. Atmospheric blocking, which occurs frequently in the northeastern Pacific, leads to persistent changes in large-scale circulation and blocks westerly flow in the East Asian region. During March 2019, frequent warm and stagnant synoptic meteorological conditions over East Asia were accompanied 6-7 days later by the Alaskan atmospheric blocking. The Alaskan atmospheric blocking over the period of March 18-24, 2019 led to high particulate matter (PM₁₀) severe haze days exceeding a daily average of 50 ㎍ m^-3 over the period of March 25-28, 2019 in South Korea. Although the high-PM₁₀ severe haze days were caused by warm and stagnant meteorological conditions, the regional contribution of anthropogenic emissions in eastern China was calculated to be 30-40% using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem). The major regional contributions of PM₁₀ aerosols in the period of high-PM₁₀ severe haze days were as follows: nitrates, 20-25%; sulphates, 10-15%; ammonium, 5-10%; and other inorganics, 15-20%. Ammonium nitrate generated via gas-to-aerosol conversion in a warm and stagnant atmosphere largely contributed to the regional transport of PM₁₀ aerosols in the high-PM₁₀ severe haze days in South Korea.

In recent years, astronomy has been snowballing: including Higgs particle discovery, black hole imaging, extraterrestrial exploration, and deep space observation. Students are also largely interested in astronomy. The purpose of this study is to discover what needs to be improved in the current astronomy curriculum in light of recent scientists' researches and discoveries. We collected keywords from all papers published from 2011 to 2020 in four selected journals-ApJ, ApJL, A&A, and MNRAS- by R package to examine research trends. The curriculum contents were extracted by synthesizing the in-service teachers' coding results in the 2015 revised curriculum document of six subjects (Science, Integrated Science, Earth Science I, Earth Science II, Physics II, Convergence Science). The research results are as follows: first, keywords that appear steadily in astronomy are 'galaxies: formation, galaxy: active, star: formation, accretion, method: numerical.' Second, astronomy curriculum includes all areas except the 'High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena' area within the common science curriculum learned by all students. Third, it is necessary to review the placement of content elements by subject and grade and to consider introducing new concepts based on astronomy research keywords. This is an exploratory study to compare curriculum and the field of scientific research that forms the basis of the subject. We expect to provide implications for a future revision of the astronomy curriculum as a primary ground investigation.

Owing to the demand for lithium-ion batteries, the recovery of valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries is required in future. A pyrometallurgical treatment is appropriate for recycling a large number of waste lithium-ion batteries, but Li loss to slag and dust present a significant challenge. This research investigated carbonation roasting and water leaching behaviors in Li-ion batteries by graphite addition to recover Li from the NCM-based cathode materials of waste Li-ion batteries. When 10 wt% of graphite was added, CO and CO₂ gases were emitted with a rapid weight reduction at apporoximately 850 K, when heated in Ar and CO₂ atmosphere. After the rapid weight reduction, NCM was decomposed and reduced to metal oxides and pure metals. In the carbonation roasting of black powder (NCM+graphite), O₂ is generated via the decomposition of NCM, and an oxides, such as Li₂O and NiO were were also generated. Subsequently, Li₂O reacts with CO₂ to generate Li₂CO₃, and a part of NiO was reduced by graphite to produce metal Ni. In addition, up to 94.5 % Li₂CO₃ with ~99.95 % purity was recovered via water leaching after carbonation roasting.
