ICT 기술의 발달과 활용이 급속하게 증가하고 있는 상황에서 서비스와 시스템의 융합이 활발히 진행되고 있는 가운데 시간과 장소에 구애 받지 않고 스마트 폰을 이용하여 간편하게 이루어질 수 있는 결제시스템 방식에 관심이 늘어나고 있는 것에 대하여 여러 가지 IT기술들이 접목되어 시장에 나타나고 있다. 최근 주목받고 있는 기술로 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)기반인 비콘이 있다. BLE 비콘은 에너지 소모율이 적은 것이 가장 큰 특징이며 자동으로 사용자의 위치를 파악하고 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 비콘이 스마트폰 결제 시스템에 새로운 방식이며 혁신의 바람을 불러온 것은 사실이지만, 비콘 관련 연구 및 개발에서 블루투스 신호를 사용한다는 점을 바탕으로 거리의 정확도의 미흡함과 통신 도달범위가 크다는 것을 관련하여 보안의 위험성을 가지고 있다는 점이 문제로 지적된다. 본 논문에서는 BLE 비콘 결제의 전반적인 시스템을 분석하고 보안의 취약함을 도출하여 그에 따른 요구사항을 연구함으로써 결제시스템의 보안 취약점을 최소화 할 수 있는 대응방안을 제안한다.

Dual-energy X-ray imaging (DEI) techniques can provide X-ray images that a certain material is suppressed or emphasized by combining two X-ray images obtained from two different x-ray spectrum. In this paper, a single-shot DEI, which uses stacked two detectors (i.e., multilayer detector), is proposed to reduce the patient dose and increase throughput in angiography. The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and aluminum (Al) were selected as two basis materials for material decomposition, and material-specific images are reconstructed as a vector combination of these two materials. We investigate the contrast and noise performance of material-decomposed images using iodine phantoms with various concentrations and diameters. The single-shot DEI shows comparable performances to the conventional dual-shot DEI. In particular, the single-shot DEI shows edge enhancement in material-decomposed images due to the different spatial-resolution characteristics of upper and lower detectors. This study could be useful for designing the multilayer detector including scintillators and energy-separation filter for angiography purposes.

While the policy intervention of each country for the promotion of renewable energy is strengthened, Korea introduced Feed-in Tariff (FIT) in 2002 to directly support the development of renewable energy. But in 2012, the shift of policy instrument that from FIT to Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is occurred. This is a unique background that is currently found only in Korea, and new answers that focus on the outcomes of the shift of policy instruments are needed in addition to the existing discussion of comparison of FIT and RPS. Therefore, this study analyzed the change of policy efficiency after the shift to RPS using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) and Malmquist Index. In the result of analysis, a difference in the improvement of policy efficiency after in shift to RPS is found among each renewable energy source. This result is because renewable energy companies voluntarily entered the market only for energy sources that have secured technology or price competitiveness, and this indicates that the performance of renewable energy after the RPS shift has been concentrated on specific energy sources. As a result of this study, considering that the goal of renewable energy policy is to expand distribution and to drive growth engines, multi-faceted analysis is required in consideration of technology and market in selecting policy instruments.

Pt-Fe/carbon black nanocatalysts were prepared by spontaneous reduction reaction of Platinum(II) acetylacetonate and Iron(II) acetylacetonate in a nucleophilic solvent and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area analysis and anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis test station. The distribution of the Pt and Fe nanoparticles on carbon black was observed by TEM, and the loading weight of Pt-Fe nanocatalysts on the carbon black was measured by TGA. Elemental ratio of Fe:Pt was estimated by EDS and it was found that elemental ratio of Pt and Fe was changed in the range of 1:0 to 0:1, and the loading weight of Pt-Fe nanoparticles on the carbon black was 5.95-6.78 wt%. Specific surface area was greatly reduced because Pt-Fe nanocatalysts blocked the pores. I-V characteristics were estimated.

In 2006, the share of energy in Korea amounted to 28% from the total import, 97% from overseas dependency, and 83% for the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission in 2004. Thus, from the aspects of economical and environmental policies, an energy analysis is very important, for the industry to cope with the imminent pressure for climate change. However, the estimation of GHG gas emissions due to an energy use is still done in a primitive way, whereby each industry's usage is multiplied by coefficients recommended from international organizations in Korea. At this level, it is impossible to formulate the prevailing logic and policies in face of a new paradigm that seeks to force participation of developing countries through so called post-Kyoto Protocol. In this study, a hybrid energy input-output (E-IO) analysis is conducted on the basis of the input-output(IO) table of 2000 issued by the Bank of Korea in 2003. Furthermore, according to economic sectors, emission of the GHG relative to an energy use is characterized. The analysis is accomplished from four points of view as follows: 1) estimating the GHG emission intensity by 96 sectors, 2) measuring the contribution ratio to GHG emissions by 14 energy sources, 3) calculating the emission factor of 3 GHG compounds, and 4) estimating the total amount of national GHG emission. The total amount estimated in this study is compared with a national official statistical number. The approach could be an appropriate model for the recently spreading concept of a Life Cycle Analysis as it analyzes not only a direct GHG emission from a direct energy use but also an associated emission from an indirect use. We expect this model can provide a form for the basis of a future GHG reduction policy making.

생명공학은 질병, 환경, 식량, 에너지 등의 인류가 당면한 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 유일한 방법으로 주목을 받고 있으며, 생명공학산업은 미래 경제를 이끌 성장동력으로 부각되고 있다. 또한 생명공학 산업은 세계적인 경기침체에도 불구하고 '19년에 4,273억달러(연평균 5.7% 성장)에 이르는 등 지속적인 성장을 전망되고 있으며, 생명공학산업은 국민적 관심이 높을 뿐만 아니라 향후 관련 산업의 세계 시장이 빠르게 성장할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이러한 생명공학산업 성장이 국가 경제발전의 원동력으로 주목받으면서 주요 선진국을 비롯한 세계 여러 나라에서는 생명공학 분야의 글로벌 시장을 선점하기 위해서 생명공학 분야 지원 법제도를 신설하거나 기존의 생명공학 관련 법제들을 개정하여 생명공학 분야에 기술개발, 투자지원 등을 하고 있다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우, 생명공학 분야의 기술개발, 투자지원, 기술의 사업화 등 생명공학 분야의 육성을 지원할 수 있는 관련 법률들이 미비하다. 또한 생명공학 분야의 일반법이라 볼 수 있는 생명공학육성법은 R&D 중심의 규정들이 대부분이며, 목적과 용어가 시대에 맞지 않고 생명공학 기술개발 활성화를 위한 규정과 생명공학 분야 사업화를 위한 창업, 기술이전 등의 규정, 그리고 인력양성 등과 같은 기반조성을 위한 규정들도 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 생명공학 분야의 글로벌 시장에서의 경쟁력 향상과 국내 생명공학 산업의 활성화를 위해 R&D에서 산업화까지 전(全)단계를 체계적으로 육성 지원할 수 있도록 현행 생명공학육성법의 개정이 요구되어진다. 이에 본 논문에서는 생명공학육성 관련 법제들의 현황을 파악 진단하여, 생명공학 분야의 지속적인 성장을 위한 생명공학육성법의 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

현재 운송수단의 주 동력원으로 사용되고 있는 내연기관은 연료로 사용되는 석유로부터 온실가스가 발생하기 때문에 지구 환경악화의 주범으로 작용하기 때문에 교토 의정서에 의해 많은 제재를 받고 있으며, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 다양한 종류의 하이브리드 제품으로 대체하고자 하는 연구개발이 세계 각국에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 한국은 저탄소 녹색성장이라는 기치하에 2012년 까지 2000만대의 자전거 보급과 세계3대 자전거 생산국으로 발전한다는 비전을 제시하여 향후 자전거 산업이 비약적으로 발전할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이와 같은 비전을 달성하기 위해서는 저가이면서 출력이 크고 수명이 긴 축전지의 개발이 필수적이며, 이와 더불어 축전지의 성능 발휘를 위해서 이것을 제어할 수 있는 battery management system(BMS)의 개발도 같이 이루어져야 한다. 리튬 배터리의 성능이 우수한 것은 익히 알려진 사실이지만, 고가이기 때문에 소비자들의 부담이 적지 아니하다. 따라서 혁신적인 기술이 개발되어 저가의 배터리를 사용하기 전까지는 납축전지도 같이 사용될 것이며, 본 과제에서는 이와 같은 납 축전지의 수명을 연장시킬 수 있는 BMS를 개발하였다.

The creation and acceptance of new technologies has been speeding up dramatically in modern times. There are also significant uncertainties about the future shape of markets, governance and social values that will have an important impact on organizations and their capacity to meet their objectives. These rapid technological and social change and uncertainties make the upsurge of interest in technology foresight, giving rise to its emergence as a global concept and policy tool. A wide range of future methods are available for technology foresight. Selection of methods will depend upon several factors, most notably available and the time financial resources, and the objectives of the exercise. Although Delphi has been widely used for many years, scenario becomes very popular in recent years. The use of scenarios can take better account of the complexity and unpredictability of the economic, social and political environments. Scenarios tell the stories describing paths to different futures, which help organizations make better decisions today. In this study, the scenario method was employed to draw the images of the future of renewable energy. Renewable energy grows dramatically in recent years. However, there is still considerable uncertainty with regard to the potential of renewable energy due to environment regulation, energy costs, and political and economic developments in the main supplier countries for oil and natural gas. Scenario can help us to identify the risks and opportunities when we develop the renewable energy, and to prepare for them. The scenario method is expected to be more utilized in the national technology foresight.
