In this study, the structure of a concave annular array transducer was optimized to generate high intensity focused ultrasound for medical therapeutic application. The transducer has a phased array structure composed of several concentric channels that have 40 mm as the radius of curvature. We derived theoretical equations to analyze the sound field of the transducer and verified the validity of the equations by comparing the results calculated by the equations with those from finite element analyses. We also checked the possibility of dynamic focusing at around the geometric focal point. Further, the level of a grating lobe occurring at an unwanted position in the transducer sound field was confirmed to be reducible through the relation between the number of channels and the frequency of the transducer. Hence, the structure of the transducer was optimized to place the main lobe within a specific range from the zenith while systematically reducing the level of the maximum sidelobe including the grating lobe. The designed structure showed the performance better than that targeted at all the focal points.

This paper suggests a modeling technique for shape and volume prediction of fishes to cut them with identical weights for group meals. The measurement and prediction of frozen fishes for group meals are very difficult because they have a bending deformation occurring at frozen stage and a hollow by eliminating the internals. Besides there exist twinkles problem of surface caused by freeze and variable weights by moisture conditions. Therefore a complex estimation algorithm is necessary to predict the shape and volume prediction of fishes exactly. Hollow prediction, pattern classification and modeling for tails using neural network, integration based volume prediction algorithm are suggested and combined to solve those problems. In order to validate the proposed method, the experiments of 3-dimensional measurement, volume prediction and fish cutting for spanish mackerel, saury, and mackerel are executed. The cutting experiments for real fish are executed.

Electronic Navigational Charts(ENCs) are a database for the use of supporting the safety of navigation in marie voyage embedded within the navigational information in the Electronic Chart Display & Information System(ECDIS). Recently IMO made a decision on the mandatory equipment resolution of ECDIS for the international SOLAS vessels until 2018. With this regulation intention together the spontaneous uses from the wide range of marine applications are accelerating the increasing demand for ENCs at both of the navigational purpose and the non-navigational purpose. But there seems to be not enough guidelines or systematic approach for the service of the non navigational purpose. This paper deals with ENCs distribution issues. We present a integrated solution for the ENCs service of both user domains and also demonstrate the implemented results.

Under the law of Management of Apartment Complexes, the Apartment Supplier should satisfy the demands of residents for the repair of defects found in Apartment Housing. But in the cost of defect repair, the expense of resident complaints is not included, and only the actual defect repair expense is counted. So in this study, the actual use state of defect deposits for 3 years after moving in is analyzed based on the actual use data of 39 apartment complexes. The study shows that more than 50% of defect repair deposits are spent to satisfy expenses arising from complaints by residents. This is not only caused by irrational demands of residents, but also by the adoption of a stopgap policy by Apartment Suppliers.

The opening of High-speed Rail provides convenience to move a long distance quickly, and the passengers of high-speed railway have been steadily increasing each year. Since the high-speed rail is far more expensive than other transportation, providing high quality service over just the high speed is required. Accordingly, much effort is made to improve service quality. However these services have been focused on general passengers so we should introduce a new service system to meet personal preferences of passengers. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce integrated railway service systems to provide service which follows the individual needs of passengers and is based on RFIDs (Radio Frequency Identification).

Recently, epidemic of covid-19 causes rapid increase in demand for untact video conferences. In existing server-client based video conference systems such as Zoom, Google Meet, etc., the server generates the conference key and controls the access rights of meeting members and their contents with it. In this case, the server can fabricate or repudiate the meeting. So, the privacy of the meeting members is not guaranteed. It's necessary to make the conference key distribution scheme where all participants can verify the trustfulness without help of the server. The smart contract is the program stored to the blockchain. Its contents cannot be altered due to the property of the blockchain, and everybody can verify the execution results of it. In this study, we propose the smart contract based conference key distribution scheme. The proposed scheme is consisted of smart contract deployment, conference key generation and verification stages. The smart contract replaces the role of existing trustful server and the meeting members can generate the conference key according to the protocols implemented on it. The proposed scheme can be applied to the video conference systems and only the meeting members can access the conference key.

Recently, researches and projects of companies based on artificial intelligence have been actively carried out. Various services and systems are being grafted with artificial intelligence technology. They become more intelligent. Accordingly, interest in deep learning, one of the techniques of artificial intelligence, and people who want to learn it have increased. In order to learn deep learning, deep learning theory with a lot of knowledge such as computer programming and mathematics is required. That is a high barrier to entry to beginners. Therefore, in this study, we designed and implemented a web-based deep learning platform called DeepBlock, which enables beginners to implement basic models of deep learning such as DNN and CNN without considering programming and mathematics. The proposed DeepBlock can be used for the education of students or beginners interested in deep learning.

The social studies, mathematics, and science textbooks of the elementary curriculum will begin to be authorized from 2022. This study explores the effect of textbooks based on a gamification motivation strategy on learner interest. For this purpose, this study analyzes whether the systematic application of the gamification motivation strategy to elementary studies textbooks, which will be authorized from 2022, can develop this textbook into a "learner-centered curriculum book that induces interest." More specifically, this study applied Kumsung Publishing's experimental social studies textbooks in class and conducted a questionnaire among 121 third graders to verify the effectiveness of the textbooks. The results show that studies textbooks based on a gamification motivation strategy greatly influence increased learner interest in the classroom. The textbooks also represent a positive influence in learner understanding, interest, and curiosity regarding the class content and assistance. Demonstrating that gamification motivation strategy is worthwhile to actively apply in future textbook development for the enhancement of learners' interests, this study is significant in that it has presented a meaningful textbook development model.

영산강 유역은 타수계에 비해 농경지 비율이 높으며, 영산강 하류에는 나주평야 등 논농사를 하고 있어 농업용수 위주의 물이용율이 높다. 또한 4대호(광주호, 장성호, 담양호, 나주호) 이외의 대규모 다목적댐이 없어 수자원 확보에 어려움이 있다. 섬진강 유역은 유역변경으로 대부분 타수계로 물 공급이 이루어져 하천유량 부족, 섬진강 하류 생태계 피해로 물문제가 지속되고 있다. 이러한 물문제를 해결하기 위해 물관리 일원화에 따른 물이용, 수량, 수질 등을 모두 고려한 효율적인 통합 물관리 방안이 제시되고 있다. 통합 물관리를 위해 유역 내 수자원 이용현황과 물 문제해결 등을 고려한 용도별 최적 물이용 계획 및 효율적인 물관리 운영방안이 중요시되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 지역의 여건 및 특수사항을 고려한 장래 물공급량 변화 및 과부족량에 대해 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본연구에서는 대상지역인 영산강·섬진강 유역 특성 및 물공급체계를 파악하고 이를 반영한 물수지 분석체계를 구축하여 유역 내 수자원 현황을 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 실제 물이용체계를 반영하고 용수계통에 따라 자기유역 내 또는 타수계에 대해 용도별 수요량에 따른 공급량, 부족량을 산정하여 그 적용성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를위해 1) 하천수는 유수와 저수로 구분하고 유수는 하천 취수시설의 실사용량을 유역단위 수요량으로 추정, 저수는 다목적댐은 계약량, 농업용저수지는 필요공급량을 개별시설의 수요량으로 설정하여 각각의 수원(저수/유수)에 대한 수요량 대비 공급량과 부족량을 분석하였다. 2) 댐과 저수지는 용수공급조정기준에 따라 공급량을 탄력적으로 적용하고 농업용저수지는 가뭄등급에 따라 하천유지용수를 고려하였다. 3) 주암본댐과 섬진강댐은 송정 수위관측지점의 유량 상황에 따라 환경대응용수를 고려하였다. 4) 주안본댐과 주암조절지댐의 연계 운영을 고려하였다. 물수지 분석 결과 검증을 위해 주요 지점의 관측유량과 물수지 분석을 통해 계산된 유량을 비교하여 적용성 분석을 진행한 결과 상관관계가 높게 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 영산강·섬진강 유역 내 효율적인 물관리 방안 수립에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
