If the hydrogen industry is activated in the future, the LH2 receiving terminal with membrane storage tank is a major way to store and send large capacity hydrogen. Since such a LH2 receiving terminal does not currently exist, the process simulation model of it was completed by referring to the design data on existing LNG receiving terminal with same typed storage tank. Based on this model, the amount of BOG generation according to change of design conditions, which is a very important factor in the operation of LH2 receiving terminal, was predicted. Through this, it was attempted to review the appropriate operating conditions to minimize the amount of BOG generated during unloading in LH2 receiving terminal with membrane storage tank.

The fast changes of global financial environment in recent years increase the risk of trade settlement. This means are required to minimize risk of non payment and to maximize secure payment. Open Account trade accounts for 90% of global trade flows. The O/A system means that the goods, along with all the necessary documents, are shipped and delivered before payment is due, usually within a time frame from 30 to 90 days. Meanwhile, Korean small and medium-sized export enterprises are compelled to globalize their activities owing to limitation and competitiveness of domestic marketplace. To keep face with the global trade settlement system and to support globalization of small and medium-sized export firms, the BPO together with Supply Chain Finance will be solutions. The introduction of the BPO system will allow banks to broaden O/A offerings to their client base and due to secure safety, sellers could ship the goods without delay according to orders and buyers could settle promptly by payment undertaking of correspondent banks. Therefore, it is more effective for companies which have sustainable customers and stable transaction. This study take a look at the trend of the global payment systems and suggested limitation of existed payment in order to derive improvement measures of electronic payment for small and medium-sized export enterprises.

전 세계적으로 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 환경규제를 강화시키며 특히 다양한 대기오염 물질 중 최근 큰 이슈인 초미세먼지 저감을 위해 전구물질로 알려진 질소산화물을 제어하기 위한 다양한 기술개발이 가속화되고 있다. 특히, 다양한 처리기술 중에 기술적·경제적인 이점을 갖춘 선택적 촉매환원법(selective catalytic reduction, SCR) 기술을 통하여 질소산화물 제거를 위해 암모니아를 환원제로 반응에 참여시켜 인체에 무해한 H₂O, N₂로 전환하는 기술이 대표적이다. 최근 전 세계적으로 다양한 산업군에서 질소산화물이 배출되고 있으며, 점오염원뿐만이 아니라 비점오염원(mobile sources)에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있다. 디젤엔진이 장착된 선박 배가스 처리장치 내 SCR 기술이 주목을 받고 있으며, NH₃-SCR에 사용되는 촉매는 주로 VO_x/TiO₂, VO_x/W/TiO₂ 촉매가 대표적이다. 한편 선박 디젤엔진에 사용되는 연료에 따라 연소배가스 특성이 다르다. 이러한 연료가 연소됨에 따라 SO₂, SO₃가 발생되고 환원제인 NH₃와 결합하여 황산암모늄염((NH₄)₂SO₄), ABS (ammonium bisulfate, NH₄HSO₄)과 같은 염을 형성시켜 탈질촉매의 비활성화 문제가 발생된다. 이러한 비활성화 물질이 침적된 탈질촉매를 재활성화 시키기 위하여 열 산화를 통해 재생시키고 있다. 이처럼 선박용 SCR 촉매는 강화되는 배출규제 및 엔진기술의 발달로 저감되는 운전 온도에 대비하여 저온 활성 재생이 가능한 고활성, 고내구성 촉매기술 개발이 필요하다.

Various methods for removing by-products from chemical reactions are being studied to improve yield of catalytic reaction. Since the water is predominantly generated as a by-product in industrially significant reactions, it is necessary to develop the technology that can reliably remove water over a wide range of temperatures. Although several strategies using absorbents and additional dehydration reactions, have been proposed, they have limitations due to the issues such as additional energy and time consuming steps and sustainability of conversion. Membrane technology, which offers advantages such as easy operation, installation, and low maintenance costs, proves to be a promising approach for enhancing the efficiency of catalysts in various catalytic reactions. Therefore, this review discusses the removal of by-products using membranes and the associated benefits in this context.

The nuclear power plant(NPP)'s Instrumentation and Control(I&C) system periodically conducts integrity checks for the maintenance of self-diagnostic function during normal operation. Additionally, it performs functionality and performance checks during planned preventive maintenance periods. However, there is a need for technological development to diagnose failures and prevent accidents in advance. In this paper, we studied methods for estimating the reliability function by utilizing environmental data and self-diagnostic data of the I&C equipment. To obtain failure data, we assumed probability distributions for component features of the I&C equipment and generated virtual failure data. Using this failure data, we estimated the reliability function using representative artificial intelligence(AI) models used in survival analysis(DeepSurve, DeepHit). And we also estimated the reliability function through the Cox regression model of the traditional semi-parametric method. We confirmed the feasibility through the residual lifetime calculations based on environmental and diagnostic data.

The demand for two-wheelers has increased in recent years, driven by the growing delivery culture, which has also led to a rise in the number of two-wheelers. Although two-wheelers are economically efficient in congested traffic conditions, reckless driving and ambiguous traffic laws for two-wheelers have turned two-wheeler accidents into a significant social issue. Given the high fatality rate associated with two-wheelers, the severity and risk of two-wheeler accidents are considerable. It is, therefore, crucial to thoroughly understand the characteristics of two-wheeler accidents by analyzing their attributes. In this study, the characteristics of two-wheeled vehicle accidents were categorized using the K-prototypes algorithm, based on data from two-wheeled vehicle accidents. As a result, the accidents were divided into four clusters according to their characteristics. Each cluster showed distinct traits in terms of the roads where accidents occurred, the major laws violated, the types of accidents, and the times of accident occurrences. By tailoring enforcement methods and regulations to the specific characteristics of each type of accident, we can reduce the incidence of accidents involving two-wheelers in metropolitan areas, thereby enhancing road safety. Furthermore, by applying machine learning techniques to urban transportation and safety, this study adds to the body of related literature.

Traffic accident frequency and severity level in Korea are known to be very serious. Especially the number of pedestrian fatalities was much worse and 1.6 time higher than the OECD average. According to the National Police Agency, the flash signals are reported to have many safety benefits as well as travel time reduction, which is opposed to the foreign studies. With this background of expanding the flash signal, this research aims to investigate the overall impact of the flash signal operation on safety, investigating and comparing the accident occurrence on the flash signal and the full signal intersections. For doing this accident prediction models for both flash and full signal intersections were estimated using independent variables (geometric features and traffic volume) and 3-year (2011-2013) accident data collected in Seoul. Considering the rare and random nature of accident occurrence and overdispersion (variance > mean) of the data, the negative binomial regression model was applied. As a result, installing wider crosswalk and increasing the number of pedestrian push buttons seemed to increase the safety of the flash signal intersections. In addition, the result showed that the average accident occurrence at the flash signal intersections was higher than at the full signal-operated intersections, 9% higher with everything else the same.

Driver's capability of identifying the change in freeway alignments and environments is one of important factors associated with traffic safety on freeways. In particular, driver's visibility and recognition capability are highly dependent on the altitude of the sun by sunset, sunrise, and nighttime. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of geometric conditions affecting crash occurrences at sunset, sunrise, and nighttime. Poisson and negative binomial regressions were adopted to predict freeway crash frequency in this study. Freeway crash data during 2007~2010 were used for developing the crash frequency models. A set of variables representing the characteristics of geometric conditions were identified as significant ones affecting crash occurrences. The results of this study would be useful in deriving effective countermeasures for preventing traffic crashes that mainly occur at sunset, sunrise, and nighttime on freeways.
