In the various kinds of intelligent services, many studies for detecting emotion are in progress. Particularly, studies on emotion recognition at the particular time have been conducted in order to provide personalized experiences to the audience in the field of exhibition though facial expressions change as time passes. So, the aim of this paper is to build a model to predict the audience's emotion from the changes of facial expressions while watching an exhibit. The proposed model is based on both sequential neural network and the Valence-Arousal model. To validate the usefulness of the proposed model, we performed an experiment to compare the proposed model with the standard neural-network-based model to compare their performance. The results confirmed that the proposed model considering time sequence had better prediction accuracy.

전 세계적으로 화석연료의 고갈 및 환경오염 문제를 해결하기 위해 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 신재생에너지에는 수소 에너지, 자연 에너지(태양열, 지열 등), 바이오 매스 에너지 등이 포함된다. 이 중 수소 에너지는 지구상에 풍부하게 존재하고 있는 물과 탄화수소로부터 얻어지며, 연소 시에도 다시 물을 형성하여 오염 물질을 배출하지 않는 차세대 무공해 에너지원으로써 주목을 받고 있다. 수소 제조를 위한 공정에는 수증기 개질 공정(steam reforming), 부분 산화(partial oxidation) 및 자열개질(autothermal reforming) 등이 있으며 실제로 생산되는 대부분의 수소는 탄소/수소비(1:4)가 높은 메탄($CH_4$) 가스를 이용한 메탄 수증기 개질 공정(steam methane reforming)을 통하여 제조된다. 이 때 수소 제조의 고효율화 및 저비용화를 위해서는 반응물에 대한 높은 선택도, 고활성도 및 높은 안정성을 갖는 촉매가 반드시 필요하며, 대표적으로 Ni, Pt, Ru 등이 보고되고 있다. 이러한 촉매들은 대부분 세라믹 pellet 형태로 제작되어 왔으나 열전도도가 낮고 물리적 충격에 취약하다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 우리는 이러한 단점을 극복하고, 촉매의 활성을 높이기 위하여 다공성 금속 합금 폼을 촉매 지지체로 도입하였다. 또한, 다공성 금속 합금 폼 표면에 촉매의 분산 및 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 지지체와 촉매 사이에 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 inter-layer를 도입하였다. 이들의 구조, 형태, 및 표면의 화학적 상태는 주사전자현미경, EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy)가 탑재된 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절, 및 X-선 광전자 분광법을 이용하여 규명하였다. 더하여 정전압-전류 측정법 및 유도 결합 플라즈마 분광 분석기을 이용하여 전기 화학 반응을 유도하고, 반응 후 전해질의 성분분석을 통해 촉매와 지지체 간의 안정성을 평가하였다. 따라서 본 결과들은 한국진공학회 하계정기학술대회를 통해 좀 더 자세히 논의될 것이다.

To evaluate farmers' workload during harvesting grapes in summer, this study investigated farmers' physiological, psychological responses, work postures and thermal environment around in the field. This field study was conducted in the Anseong County of Kyonggi Province at the end of August. Five career farmers (1 male, 4 females) volunteered as subjects. Three of them were over their sixties. During harvesting grapes in the field, physiological responses were monitored continuously. 1. Air temperature (T/sub a/), air humidity(H/sub a/), black globe temperature(T/sub g/), air velocity and WBGT around the grape field were 26.9℃, 77.7%RH, 32.8℃, 0.08㎧ and 26.3℃, respectively. Because farmers started the harvesting task in early morning, thermal environments weren't conditions to give farmers severe heat strain. 2. The percentage of the work postures was larger in order of standing, walking, and bending one's back posture. Particularly, the percentage of standing posture with raising both arms above shoulder of two farmers was up to 29% and 61% of the total work duration. 3. Rectal temperature (T/sub re/), mean skin temperature (T/sub sk/), clothing microclimate temperature (T/sub cl/) on the chest and the back, heart rate (HR) and energy expenditure (EE) were 37.2℃, 33.1℃, 32.0℃, 32.4℃, 88bpm and 1.3 Kca1/㎡/min respectively. In the point of these physiological results, we evaluated that the harvesting task was a moderate work. 4. All farmers expressed‘hard, hot, humid and slightly uncomfortable’ at the end of works for each subjective questionnaire. The grape harvesting tasks were not evaluated as a very hard work in the point of physiological work standards. But we considered 1) inappropriate work posture (standing posture with raising both arms above shoulder) and 2) farmers' age as burden factors. These findings suggest that adding adequate protective clothing/equipments for farmers may contribute to maintain their body temperature within the normal range, stabilize HR and decrease psychological strain.

High pressure nozzles and turbines of a gas turbine engine should be required to be operated under extreme operating conditions in order to maximize the performance. Engine manufactures have utilized nickel-base superalloys, enhanced cooling design, and thermal barrier coating techniques to overcome them and furthermore, material modeling, finite element analysis, optimization techniques, and etc. have been utilized widely for elaborate predictions. We aim to evaluate the effects on the low cycle fatigue life of the high pressure turbine blade caused by thermal barrier coatings and the cooling design of the endwall of the first stage turbine nozzle. To achieve it, the structural analysis, which utilized the results of conjugate heat transfer analysis as loading boundary conditions, was performed and then the results were the input for the assessment of low cycle fatigue life at several critical zones.

A pyroprocess is currently being developed by KAERI to cope with a highly accumulated spent nuclear fuel in Korea. The pyroprocess produces a certain amount of high-level radioactive waste (HLW), which is solidified by a ceramic binder. The produced ceramic waste will be confined in a secure disposal canister and then placed in a deep geologic formation so as not to contaminate human environment. In this paper, the development of a disposal canister was overviewed by discussing mainly its design premises, constitution, manufacturing methods, corrosion resistance in a deep geologic environment, radiation shielding, and structural stability. The disposal canister should be safe from thermal, chemical, mechanical, and biological invasions for a very long time so as not to release any kind of radionuclides.

Frame synchronization is achieved by correlation between received symbols and a preamble pattern which is periodically appended at a frame header. In this paper, we deal with a frame detection method complaint with satellite-based DVB-S2 system. In DVB-S2, frame synchronization is performed under the low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), a large frequency offset which can be up to 20% of a symbol transmission rate and unknown modulation schemes ranging from QPSK to 32-APSK. In this environment, we propose a method combining differential correlation based on SOF and PLSC with an accumulated correlation method for the detection of frame structures. In addition, detection performances about mean acquisition time(MAT) and detection error probability are evaluated via computer simulations.

As modern houses are constructed with high-density and high-insulation, there is benefit to reduce energy consumption, but there are many side effects raised from polluted air. To solve the problem, a ventilation system is used to improve a indoor air quality. In this research, we experimentally estimate ventilation performance of HRV(heat recovery ventilator) with heat-pipe according to working fluid filling quantity and ventilation. Heat-pipe used in this study was designated separately to be applied to a ventilation system. The working fluid was R22, which was filled from 40 to 55 (%vol.) by 5(%vol.). Ventilation based on the front velocity was measured from 0.3 m/s to 1.5 m/s by 0.3 m/s intervals. Refrigerant filling quantity with the highest efficiency was found to depend on the ventilation. From this study the optimal refrigerant filling quantity in accordance with the ventilation of the detachable heat pipes was found experimentally.
