In this study, a Ka-band waveguide rotary joint that can be applied to a millimeter-wave seeker is designed and fabricated. The proposed rotary joint maintains a low standing-wave ratio and low-loss characteristics, and has two rotary axes designed to enable azimuth and elevation rotation. The rotary joint is designed as a ridge-waveguide-type mode converter and a ${\lambda}/4$ choke structure to match the electromagnetic wave propagation mode between the spherical and circular waveguides. A performance test using a network analyzer and a high-power transmitter to assess vibration and shock were conducted. Results showed that the rotary joint had a very low standing-wave ratio of less than the maximum of 1.19:1 and an insertion loss of less than 0.80 dB at $F_C{\pm}500MHz$.

A man-made slope has been increased due to the construction of road. This slope lies at risk of rock falling, induced mostly by heavy rainfall. The MOLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) recommends the specific dimension of rockfall protection fence (post, wire-rope, and mesh) which should resist 48~61 kJ. However, the energy absorption capacity of each component of rockfall protection fence is not clearly presented. Hence, this study made an effort to compute the energy absorption capacity of each component in analytical and numerical method, and compared with each other.

In this paper, inductive couplers realizing broadband powerline communication (PLC) are fabricated using Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy and their performance is analyzed. As a result of the field tests using the distribution automation system (DAS), the couplers achieve comparatively excellent data communication in the principal frequency band of broadband PLC although there is a difference in communication rate depending on the presence or absence of a branch. In addition, it has been confirmed that the communication speed is maintained for a real-time transmission even in a high current environment although there is a difference in the transmission rate depending on the distance. Hence, it is considered that the inductive couplers can be used as a core device to realize the intelligent power network by exploiting them for the monitoring and remote controlling of the power plant equipments for the DAS located in the inaccessible areas.

This paper suggests a novel approach of integrating the quasi-distributed watershed model SWAT with the fully-distributed groundwater model MODFLOW. Since the SWAT model has semi distributed features, its groundwater components hardly considers distributed parameters such as hydraulic conductivity and storage coefficient. Generating a detailed representation of groundwater recharge, head distribution and pumping rate is equally difficult. To solve these problems, the method of exchanging the characteristics of the hydrologic response units (HRUs) in SWAT with cells in MODFLOW by fully combined manner is proposed. The linkage is completed by considering the interaction between the stream network and the aquifer to reflect boundary flow. This approach is provisionally applied to Gyungancheon basin in Korea. The application demonstrates a combined model which enables an interaction between saturated zones and channel reaches. This interaction plays an essential role in the runoff generation in the Gyungancheon basin. The comprehensive results show a wide applicability of the model which represents the temporal-spatial groundwater head distribution and recharge.

A Basic experimental study for the development of vibration-power generation system from the vibration energy of urban infrastructure, such as a railroad, highway, and bridges, was carried out to harvest electricity from moving vehicles. Starting with the proposal of vibration power generator which converts vibration energy to an electric power by using self-induction technology, the research explains the basic concept of self-induction technology and the dynamic characteristics of a ibration power generator. Also, in order to analyze the correlation of an electromotive force from vibration power generator which depends on external force and vibration speeds, many indoor experiments with various variables were achieved. Based on the experimental results, a vibration power generator system's ability were analyzed. With those results, basic data of vibration power generator system to acquire the maximum available power was confirmed.

Mountains area, especially walking in open space is important for special active field which is based on mountain terrain. Recent research on pedestrian-path includes elements about pedestrian and various environment by analyzing network, but it is mainly focusing on limited space except for data-poor terrain like a mountain terrain. This paper proposes an architecture to generate walking path considering the slope for mountain terrain open space through virtual network made of mesh. This architecture shows that it reflects real terrain more effective when measuring distance using slope and is possible to generate mountain walking path using open space unlike other existing services, and is verified through the test. The proposed architecture is expected to utilize for pedestrian-path generation way considering mountain terrain open space in case of distress, mountain rescue and tactical training and so on.

Compared to a low concentration, a high concentration clearly entails limitations in terms of predictive performance owing to differences in its frequency and environment of occurrence. To resolve this problem, in this study, an artificial intelligence neural network algorithm was used to classify low and high concentrations; furthermore, two prediction models trained using the characteristics of the classified concentration types were used for prediction. To this end, we constructed training datasets using weather and air pollutant data collected over a decade in the Cheonan region. We designed a DNN-based classification model to classify low and high concentrations; further, we designed low- and high-concentration prediction models to reflect characteristics by concentration type based on the low and high concentrations classified through the classification model. According to the results of the performance assessment of the prediction model by concentration type, the low- and high-concentration prediction accuracies were 90.38% and 96.37%, respectively.

This paper presents the application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Region of Interest (ROI) techniques for concrete crack analysis. Surfaces of concrete structures, such as beams, etc., are exposed to fatigue stress and cyclic loads, typically resulting in the initiation of cracks at a microscopic level on the structure's surface. Early detection enables preventative measures to mitigate potential damage and failures. Conventional manual inspections often yield subpar results, especially for large-scale infrastructure where access is challenging and detecting cracks can be difficult. This paper presents data collection, edge segmentation and ROI techniques application, and analysis of concrete cracks using Convolutional Neural Networks. This paper aims to achieve the following objectives: Firstly, achieving improved accuracy in crack detection using image-based technology compared to traditional manual inspection methods. Secondly, developing an algorithm that utilizes enhanced Sobel edge segmentation and ROI techniques. The algorithm provides automated crack detection capabilities for non-destructive testing.
