In recent years, as safety management in underground mines has become more important in the worldwide, mine safety management technologies combining information communication technology such as real-time worker position tracking, monitoring system and equipment remote control have been developed. Wireless communication system is mainly applied to these technologies for the flexibility of network configuration. There are some cases the monitoring system was installed in domestic underground mines, but, it is necessary to develop the technology more suitable for domestic mining standard. In this study, we developed the real-time environmental monitoring system using ZigBee technology and examined the result of application to domestic limestone mine. Furthermore, applicability of the developed environment monitoring system to $VentSim^{TM}$ LiveView was checked. This study is expected to contribute to the related studies like the optimization of the ventilation system in underground mines.

This study aimed to determine candidate areas for tidal current-pumped storage hybrid power plants using GIS-based site selection analysis. The study area is the southwestern sea surrounding Jindo Island in South Korea. Factors to be considered for the site selection analysis were derived considering the design and installation characteristics of the hybrid power plant. Numerical simulation to predict tidal speed was performed using the MOHID(Modelo HIDrodin?mico) and the results were converted into spatial data. Subsequently, a GIS-based overlay analysis method proposed in this study was applied to derive the installation candidate area. A total of 10 regions were identified as candidate sites. Among them, it was determined that the power generator could be installed in relatively wide sea areas in Jindo, Seongnamdo, and Hajodo.

In recent years, many people are living in a space limited by rapid global industrial development and economic growth, and rapid urbanization is underway, with the global urban population estimated to be more than 70 percent in 2050. Due to rapid urbanization, government-led smart city models are being developed and introduced to solve various urban problems such as disaster safety, air pollution, water pollution, energy shortage, disease, crime and transportation. However, since ICT technology of public housing is being developed as a type of social overhead capital project, it is necessary to develop micro-smart city projects that residents can feel by developing services such as public safety, living environment, living welfare, and energy management for public housing residents. Therefore, in this paper, the smart platform model of public housing for smart city in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is planned and presented.

Among human-induced seismicity, fluid production has been one of the causes. In this report, the mechanism that causes an earthquake due to a decrease in the fluid pressure inside the reservoir during fluid extraction is summarized. As case studies, the Lacq gas field in France, the Cerro Prieto geothermal field in Mexico, and the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands, which have become issue recently, were introduced. It is showed that fluid production, ground subsidence, and the presence of existing faults were closely related with the induced seismicity. Therefore, for the development of oil or gas field and geothermal field, it is important to investigate the presence of faults that may cause earthquakes in the reservoir, to monitor ground subsidence during production in real time, and to control production.

In this paper, the microwave absorbing characteristics after the impact of the radar-absorbing structure (RAS) consisting of periodic pattern sheet (PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) were experimentally investigated. The fabricated RAS effectively absorbed the microwave in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). In order to induce the damage to the RAS, a low-velocity impact test with various impact energy of 15, 40, and 60 J was conducted. Afterward, the impact damage was observed by using visual inspection, non-destructive test, and image processing method. Moreover, the absorbing performance of intact and damaged RAS was measured by the free-space measurement system. The experiment results revealed that the delamination damage from the impact energy of 15 J did not considerably affect the microwave absorbing performance of the RAS. However, fiber breakage and penetration damage with a relatively large damaged area were occuured when the impact energy was increased up to 40 J and 60 J, and these failures significantly degraded the microwave absorbing characteristics of the RAS.

기작기반의 역학적 모델과 자료기반의 딥러닝 모델은 수질예측에 다양하게 적용되고 있으나, 각각의 모델은 고유한 구조와 가정으로 인해 장·단점을 가지고 있다. 특히, 딥러닝 모델은 우수한 예측 성능에도 불구하고 훈련자료가 부족한 경우 오차와 과적합에 따른 분산(variance) 문제를 야기하며, 기작기반 모델과 달리 물리법칙이 결여된 예측 결과를 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 주요 상수원인 댐 저수지를 대상으로 수심별 수온과 탁도를 예측하기 위해 기작기반과 자료기반 모델의 장점을 융합한 PGDL(Process-Guided Deep Learninig) 모델을 개발하고, 물리적 법칙 만족도와 예측 성능을 평가하는데 있다. PGDL 모델 개발에 사용된 기작기반 및 자료기반 모델은 각각 CE-QUAL-W2와 순환 신경망 딥러닝 모델인 LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory) 모델이다. 각 모델은 2020년 1월부터 12월까지 소양강댐 댐 앞의 K-water 자동측정망 지점에서 실측한 수온과 탁도 자료를 이용하여 각각 보정하고 훈련하였다. 수온 및 탁도 예측을 위한 PGDL 모델의 주요 알고리즘은 LSTM 모델의 목적함수(또는 손실함수)에 실측값과 예측값의 오차항 이외에 역학적 모델의 에너지 및 질량 수지 항을 제약 조건에 추가하여 예측결과가 물리적 보존법칙을 만족하지 않는 경우 penalty를 부가하여 매개변수를 최적화시켰다. 또한, 자료 부족에 따른 LSTM 모델의 예측성능 저하 문제를 극복하기 위해 보정되지 않은 역학적 모델의 모의 결과를 모델의 훈련자료로 사용하는 pre-training 기법을 활용하여 실측자료 비율에 따른 모델의 예측성능을 평가하였다. 연구결과, PGDL 모델은 저수지 수온과 탁도 예측에 있어서 경계조건을 통한 에너지와 질량 변화와 저수지 내 수온 및 탁도 증감에 따른 공간적 에너지와 질량 변화의 일치도에 있어서 LSTM보다 우수하였다. 또한 역학적 모델 결과를 LSTM 모델의 훈련자료의 일부로 사용한 PGDL 모델은 적은 양의 실측자료를 사용하여도 CE-QUAL-W2와 LSTM 보다 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다. 연구결과는 다차원의 역학적 수리수질 모델과 자료기반 딥러닝 모델의 장점을 결합한 새로운 모델링 기술의 적용 가능성을 보여주며, 자료기반 모델의 훈련자료 부족에 따른 예측 성능 저하 문제를 극복하기 위해 역학적 모델이 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

In this study, ZIF67/rGO was used to minimize the battery life degradation due to the insulating properties of sulfur and the elution of lithium polysulfide. ZIF67 wrapped in rGO creates more space within the carbon sponge and can hold a large amount of sulfur. The sulfur@ZIF67/rGO composite was synthesized and prepared as a sponge to enhance the sulfur retention capacity. The result showed a high initial capacity, with a value of about 1093 mAh g^-1 and a capacity retention rate of 84% after 100 cycles. The high interaction with sulfur through the complexation of cobalt and carbon confirmed that ZIF67/rGO exhibits high performance as a carrier for sulfur, the anode active material of lithium-sulfur batteries, and the high initial capacity and improved capacity retention rate were confirmed.

A time-reversal mirror (TRM) is useful in diverse areas, such as reverberation ing, target echo enhancement and underwater communication. In underwater communication, the bit error rate has been improved significantly due to the increased signal-to-noise ratio by spatio-temporal focusing. This paper deals with two issues. First, the optimal number of array elements for a given environment was investigated based on the exploitation of spatial diversity. Second, an algorithm was developed to determine the optimal location of the given number of array elements. The formulation is based on a genetic algorithm maximizing the contrast between the foci and area of interest as an objective function. In addition, the developed algorithm was applied to the matched field processing with ocean experimental data for verification. The sea-going data and simulation showed almost 3 dB improvement in the output power at the foci when the array elements were optimally distributed.

The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) disc cutter is subjected to wear and damage during the rock excavation process, and the worn disc cutter should be replaced on time. The manual inspection by workers is generally required to determine the disc cutter replacement. In this case, the workers are exposed to dangerous environments, and the measurements are sometimes inaccurate. In this study, we developed a technology that measures the disc cutter wear in real time. From a series of laboratory tests, a magnetic sensor was selected as the wear sensor, and the real-time disc cutter measurement system was developed integrating wireless communication modules, power supply and data processing board. In addition, the measurement system was verified in actual TBM excavation circumstances. As a result, it was confirmed that the accuracy and stability of the system.

This research measures and compares on-site net radiation energy, air temperature, wind speed, and surface temperature considering various spatial characteristics with a focus on land use types in urban areas in Changwon, Southern Gyeongsangnam-do, to analyze the accuracy of an ENVI-met model, which is an analysis program of microclimate. The on-site measurement was performed for three days in a mobile measurement: two days during the daytime and one day during the nighttime. The analysis using the ENVI-met model was also performed in the same time zone as the on-site measurement. The results indicated that the ENVI-met model showed higher net radiation than the on-site measurement by approximately $300Wm^{-2}$ during the daytime whereas the latter showed higher net radiation energy by approximately $200Wm^{-2}$ during the nighttime. The temperature was found to be much higher by approximately $2-6^{\circ}C$ in the on-site measurement during both the daytime and nighttime. The on-site measurement also showed higher surface temperature than the ENVI-met by approximately $7-13^{\circ}C$. In terms of the wind speed, there was a significant difference between the results of the ENVI-met model and on-site measurement. As for the correlation between the results of the ENVI-met model and on-site measurement, the temperature showed significantly high correlation whereas the correlations for the net radiation energy, surface temperature, and wind speed were very low. These results appear to be affected by excessive or under estimation of solar and terrestrial radiation and climatic conditions of the surrounding areas and characteristics of land cover. Hence, these factors should be considered when applying these findings in urban and environment planning for improving the microclimate in urban areas.
