The Alkali-Silica Reaction(ASR) may cause a serious failure in the concrete pavements and structures. Several researches in some nations have conducted the continuous studies to prevent failure of the concrete structures by the ASR distress as well as the studies to manifest the mechanism. The researches on the ASR have not been performed affluently in Korea because the distress due to ASR has seldom been reported literarily. In this study, we tried to set up the systematic scheme practically for verifying the cause of distress due to ASR by using the visual inspections in field, the chemical method, petrographic analysis, and Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer(EDX) method of Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) in laboratory. The chemical method, petrographic method using SEM, and X-ray method were used to verify the cause of pattern crack on the surface and internal crack in the plain concrete pavement. It can be concluded that the distress of a specific site in plain concrete pavement was mainly due to ASR. The chemical method, the petrographic method and EDX method using SEM may be the effective tools for verifying the cause of AAR distresses.

21C digital culture is now affecting the life of arts and development through our system, as well as body arts and body painting. Body painting is not has been focused through our lives in 21stcentury as one genre. UV body painting is from short to long wave length that demonstrates to us the dimension by science and lighting showing more than 8 colors that are better off being set. From this research the theory of body painting considerate characteristics and vision for it. From the researchers line, dots, and side shows the UV body painting as a one piece of art and analyzing the 3D theory and once again showing vision through what it's affecting to their result.' UV body painting is usage of floral paints and using so called 'black light' that shows the short and long term wavelength that provides the 3D material, but first, this is different from normal body painting like dots, like, and layers shows more thoroughly and shows focused motive and you can easily tell the difference. As of all UV body painting is showing more 3D vision more than the design itself. From all this research, to all the body painters we await the future practical theory to be used and for the better future.

Purpose: This study was to investigate color distortion by colors and luminous transmittance of lenses with word-color test included in computerized neurocognitive function test (CNT). Methods: 32 subjects aged $21.97{\pm}1.58$ years with no ocular disease and color vision deficiency were selected. Four colors of tinted lenses, which were red, green and blue included in the primary colors of light and pink, and word-color test in CNT to evaluate changes in cognitive function by color distortion were used. Results: Response time was not significantly increased in green, blue, and pink among four colors, but significantly increased in only red color. And response time was significantly increased below 46% of luminous transmittance in red color. Conclusions: It should be cautious and careful of the red-tinted lens choice because red color with below 46% of luminous transmittance can distort colors of objects, and it could be related to safety problem. It is suggested that word-color test could be extensively used for further studies on color recognition.

Comparative effects of gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide treatments on the sterilization and physicochemical propperties of the condiment for soup of instant noodle (ramen) were investigated. The number of microorganisms contaminated ranged from $10^3\;to\;10^7\;CFU/g$ in total bacterial count, which were mainly composed of thermophiles and acid tolerant bacteria by over 90%. The yeast & molds were contaminated by $10^2\;to\;10^3\;CFU/g$. In the sterilizing effect of an irradiation on the microorganisms contaminated, 7 to 10 kGy gamma irradiation could eliminated yeast & molds, and also bring about the reduction of total bacterial count to below $10^3\;CFU/g.\;D_{10}$values of total bacteria! count of the samples ranged from 2.33 to 3.33 kGy. In comparative effects of irradiation and ethylene oxide treatments on the physicochemical properties of the sample, both treatments affected more or less rancidity, color, and amino-Ncontent, but less than 10 kGy irradiation was shown to be safe than ethylene oxide.

Skin darkness is the source of trouble to many women. Skin darkness is the state that while skin redness and brightness are reduced, skin yellowness is increased. Skin translucency which is measured by skin color, especially brightness is an another expression of skin darkness. Skin brightness is usually expressed by L value of $L^{*} \;a^{*}\; b^{*}$ (CIELAB color space system). However, it is hard to find the relationship between L value and perceptive efficacy such as translucency because the L value is just a factor of evaluation of skin darkness. The skin with high translucency has high scattering reflective light value than low value. In this study, we measured the skin translucency of 20 ~ 30 ages men and women face by both our designed previous device which use polarized light to detect surface and scatter reflective light independently and $Lumiscan^{TM}$ which is improved designed to confirm our new device working ability by calculation of relationship between trnaslucency and scattering reflective light value. The result of this study indicate that there is a high correlation (R = 0.732, p < 0.01) between translucency and scattering reflective light value, and suggest that $Lumiscan^{TM}$ is portable and easy measuring device more that previous device.

In an attempt to study the possibility of substituting sweet potato for cereals as raw materials for Kochujang, three kinds of Kochujang were made from barley, sweet potato or 50% barley and 50% sweet potato, The results of component variation during the ripening and the effect of temperature on the aging in the harvesting season of sweet potato were as follows: 1) Kochujang is, usually, manufactured in May, but no difference was observed in aging condition when it was manufactured in September, the season of sweet potato harvest, since the inner temperature of the product was around $20^{\circ}C$. 2) The total reducing sugar content and maturity reached maximum after $40{\sim}50\;days$ of fermentation in the three treatments and crude fat content tended to be slightly decreased during fermentation. 3) Lightness in color of the three kinds of Kochujang decreased by exposure to sunlight. Sweetpotato Kochujang showed a stronger tendency to increase the redness as compared with the rest. 4) Sensory evaluation showed that sweet potato Kochujang was less acceptable than barley Kochujang due to disagreeable flavor of sweet potato but mixed Kochujang showed little difference, as compared with barley Kochujang.

The bikes are conflicted with the cars and the pedestrian at the intersection and the road with the bike crossing. To establish the bike signal at this section is one method to solve this conflict. According to the survey for the bike road status and the biker's characters which are crossing the road at the intersection, the bike crossing are established with beside the pedestrian crossing and most of the bikers are crossing the street by the pedestrian signal. Also, the bike queue which is waiting the signal change at the stop line was cleared before the closing the pedestrian signal. Considering the result of this survey, TOUCAN crossing signal type in England for bike signal at the place where the bike crossing are established with beside the pedestrian crossing, in which bike rider and pedestrian can cross by the pedestrian signal operation, is suggested. However, at the place where the bike crossing is apart from the pedestrian crossing, the bike signal which is connected to the vehicle signal is suggested. All these types of bike signals can be accepted for the present bike crossing equipments and the biker's characters and be adapted to the police standard traffic signal controller by adjusting the signal time only without any function change.

Conventional white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for lighting applications consist of blue LEDs and yellow phosphors, the spectrum of which lacks deep red. To improve the color-rendering characteristics of white LEDs, a red quantum-dot film was applied to the diffuser plate of LED lighting. The mean free paths of the quantum dots and the concentration of the TiO₂ particles in the diffuser plate were adjusted to optimize the optical structure of the lighting. The color-rendering index (CRI) was greater than 90 for most conditions, which demonstrates that adoption of the red quantum-dot film is an effective way for improving the color-rendering properties of conventional white LEDs. The angular dispersion of color coordinates could be removed by utilizing the optical cavity formed between the diffuser plate and the reflector on the bottom of the lighting, where multiple passages of the light through the quantum-dot film reduced the differences in optical path length depending on the viewing angle.

This study is aimed at suggesting information about technical choices for designing LED camping lights based on emotional lighting contents of integrated IOT and design areas which take a central role in creation and knowledge based industries and the procedure for materializing them. 'i-Light,' a portable LED camping light, is 'connected lighting' connecting men, space and emotion and a smart camping light based on IOT and emotional lighting contents. 'i-Light' has two functions. One is about lighting for adjusting color and color temperature naturally and the other is about safety for detecting harmful gases. 'i-Light' also has various emotional functions for experiencing interaction and taste of light. For the purpose, portable LED camping lights were designed, first of all, and then a highly color rendering/full-color lighting module, a smart sensor module and an IOT device platform were developed. In addition, efforts were made to establish detailed data about emotional lighting contents and to develop a Web application based on them. Finally, prototypes of portable LED camping lights were made to get a test bench and usability evaluation from related organizations. According to the results, all of 12 developed emotional lighting contents and three IOT safety sensors were suitable and prototypes were satisfactory. This paper will suggest a direction about actual technical choices for development of contents and products integrating artificial intelligence and big data and about the procedure for materializing them.

In this study, we propose a machine vision-based pedestrian signal detection algorithm that operates efficiently even in computing resource-constrained environments. This algorithm demonstrates high efficiency within limited resources and is designed to minimize the impact of ambient lighting by sequentially applying HSV color space-based image processing, binarization, morphological operations, labeling, and other steps to address issues such as light glare. Particularly, this algorithm is structured in a relatively simple form to ensure smooth operation within embedded system environments, considering the limitations of computing resources. Consequently, it possesses a structure that operates reliably even in environments with low computing resources. Moreover, the proposed pedestrian signal system not only includes pedestrian signal detection capabilities but also incorporates IoT functionality, allowing wireless integration with a web server. This integration enables users to conveniently monitor and control the status of the signal system through the web server. Additionally, successful implementation has been achieved for effectively controlling 50W LED pedestrian signals. This proposed system aims to provide a rapid and efficient pedestrian signal detection and control system within resource-constrained environments, contemplating its potential applicability in real-world road scenarios. Anticipated contributions include fostering the establishment of safer and more intelligent traffic systems.
