We examined two reservoirs (Inkyung res. and Joongang res.) and two streams (Kyungan str. and Jecheon str.), all of which were eutrophic, during the 2010 warm season, to evaluate the water quality improvement activity (WQIA) of plant-mineral composite (PMC), which was previously developed to control suspended solids, including cyanobacterial bloom (Kim et al., 2010). We simultaneously measured both solid (S-MCLR) and dissolved microcystin-LR (D-MCLR), before and after PMC treatment, in the Joongang reservoir. Taking water body size and volume into account, we conducted the whole-scale experiment in the Inkyung reservoir, and mesocosm-scale experiments in the other three systems. The WQIAs of PMC were found to be comparatively high in SS (70~81%), TP (75~91%), BOD (65~91%), Chl-a (88~98%), phytoplankton (84~92%) and zooplankton (68~88%), except for the Kyungan stream, which was below 45% in all parameters. After PMC treatment, the concentrations of both SMCLR (47%) and D-MCLR (96%) decreased within two days, suggesting a mitigation possibility of hazardous chemicals such as agrochemicals and endocrine disrupters in the aquatic ecosystem. Our results collectively indicate that PMC is a useful agent to control suspended solids, including nuisance cyanobacterial bloom and their exudates, in an undisturbed water system with a long residence time.

To insure nuclear reactor safety, the reactivity of control rods should be calculated by measuring the criticality of reactor core and it is regularly performed during the annual physics test period. Also, the core criticality should be monitored during the start-up operation to avoid reactivity induced accidents. Many research works on control rod reactivity measurement and subcriticality measurement have been accomplished throughout the world for decades and recently a new method named "Modified Neutron Source Multiplication Method (MNSM)" was proposed in Japan which is known to be improved overcoming limitations of traditional Neutron Source Multiplication Method (NSM). In this study, MNSM was tested in calculation of subcriticalities and in evaluation of application validity using the educational reactor in Kyung Hee University, AGN-201. For this study, a revised nuclear data library and a neutron transport code system TRANSX - PARTISN were established. Correction factors for various control rod positions were produced using the k-effective values and the corresponding flux distributions and adjoint flux distributions. Experimental values of the core criticality were obtained using the neutron count rates of the BF3 proportional counters. The results showed that the expected reactivity worth of control rods by MNSM agreed well with the theoretical values and the correction factors contributed much for this purpose.

The performance and stability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) depend on the microstructure of the electrode and electrolyte. In anode, porosity and pore distribution affect the active site and fuel gas transfer. In an electrolyte, density and thickness determine the ohmic resistance. To optimizing these conditions, using costly method cannot be a suitable research plan for aiming at commercialization. To solve these drawbacks, we made high performance unit cells with low cost and highly efficient ceramic processes. We selected the NiO-YSZ cermet that is a commercial anode material and used facile methods like die pressing and dip coating process. The porosity of anode was controlled by the amount of carbon black (CB) pore former from 10 wt% to 20 wt% and final sintering temperature from $1350^{\circ}C$ to $1450^{\circ}C$. To achieve a dense thin film electrolyte, the thickness and microstructure of electrolyte were controlled by changing the YSZ loading (vol%) of the slurry from 1 vol% to 5 vol. From results, we achieved the 40% porosity that is well known as an optimum value in Ni-YSZ anode, by adding 15wt% of CB and sintering at $1350^{\circ}C$. YSZ electrolyte thickness was controllable from $2{\mu}m$ to $28{\mu}m$ and dense microstructure is formed at 3vol% of YSZ loading via dip coating process. Finally, a unit cell composed of Ni-YSZ anode with 40% porosity, YSZ electrolyte with a $22{\mu}m$ thickness and LSM-YSZ cathode had a maximum power density of $1.426Wcm^{-2}$ at $800^{\circ}C$.

The crops recommended for the plant factory system are diverse. The importance of planting density in the plant factory is being recognized. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal planting density for growth and quality of kohlrabi in a closed-type plant factory system. The kohlrabi was grown under fluorescent lamps and nutrient film technique system. The growth and quality of kohlrabi were investigated under four different planting densities ($22plants/m^2(15{\times}30cm)$, $27plants/m^2(15{\times}25cm)$, and $33plants/m^2(15{\times}20cm)$). There were no significant interactions between Shoot fresh and dry weights per plant or bulb stem fresh and dry weights per plant and planting density. Shoot fresh and dry weight per area or bulb stem fresh and dry weight per area were the highest at $33plants/m^2$. There were no significant interactions between plant height, leaf area, photosynthetic rate, hardness, and chlorophyll content and planting density. Significant differences in Bulb stem height and diameter, and brix were observed. Bulb stem height and diameter and brix of kohlrabi were the highest at $22plants/m^2$. Based on our results, we conclude that the optimal planting density is $33plants/m^2$ for growth of kohlrabi, however, the optimal planting density is $22plants/m^2$ for quality of kohlrabi in a closed-type plant factory system.

Recently, as the introduction of cloud, mobile, and IoT has become active, there is a growing need for technology development that can supplement the limitations of traditional security solutions based on fixed perimeters such as firewalls and Network Access Control (NAC). In response to this, SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) has recently emerged as a new base technology. Unlike existing security technologies, SDP can sets security boundaries (install Gateway S/W) regardless of the location of the protected resources (servers, IoT gateways, etc.) and neutralize most of the network-based hacking attacks that are becoming increasingly sofiscated. In particular, SDP is regarded as a security technology suitable for the cloud and IoT fields. In this study, a new access control system was proposed by combining SDP and hash tree-based large-scale data high-speed signature technology. Through the process authentication function using large-scale data high-speed signature technology, it prevents the threat of unknown malware intruding into the endpoint in advance, and implements a kernel-level security technology that makes it impossible for user-level attacks during the backup and recovery of major data. As a result, endpoint security, which is a weak part of SDP, has been strengthened. The proposed system was developed as a prototype, and the performance test was completed through a test of an authorized testing agency (TTA V&V Test). The SDP-based access control solution is a technology with high potential that can be used in smart car security.

Recently, the advance of multimedia hardware has fostered the development of wireless multimedia sensor network which is able to ubiquitously obtain multimedia content such as image or audio from the environment. The multimedia data which has several characteristics such as large size and correlation between the data requires reliability in transmission. However, the existing solution which take the focus on the efficiency of network mainly, is not appropriate to transmit the multimedia data. In the paper, we proposes a reliable asynchronous image transfer protocol, RAIT. RAIT applies double sliding window method in node-to-node image tansfer to prevent the packet loss caused by network congestion. The double sliding window consists of one sliding window for the receiving queue, which is used for prevention of packet loss caused by communication failure between nodes and the other sliding window for the sending queue which prevents the packet loss caused by network congestion. the routing node prevents the packet loss and guarantees the fairness between the nodes by scheduling the packets based on the image non-preemptively. The RAIT implements the double sliding window method by cross layer design between RAIT layer, routing layer, and queue layer. The experiment shows that RAIT guarantees the reliability of image transmission compared with the existing protocol.

In the Unix-like system environment, the GOT overwrite attack is one of the traditional control flow hijacking techniques for exploiting software privileges. Several techniques have been proposed to defend against the GOT overwrite attack, and among them, the Full Relro(Relocation Read only) technique, which blocks GOT overwrites at runtime by arranging the GOT section as read-only in the program startup, has been known as the most effective defense technique. However, it entails loading delay, which limits its application to a program sensitive to startup performance, and it is not currently applied to the library due to problems including a chain loading delay problem caused by nested library dependency. Also, many compilers, including LLVM, do not apply the Full Relro technique by default, so runtime programs are still vulnerable to GOT attacks. In this paper, we propose a GOT protection scheme using the Control Flow Integrity(CFI) technique, which is currently recognized as the most suitable technique for defense against code reuse attacks. We implemented this scheme based on LLVM and applied it to the binutils-gdb program group to evaluate security, performance and compatibility. The GOT protection scheme with CFI is difficult to bypass, fast, and compatible with existing library programs.

As the use of software is more wider in the safety-critical nuclear fields, so study to improve safety and quality of the software has been actively carried out for more than the past decade. In the nuclear power plant, nuclear man-machine interface systems (MMIS) performs the function of the brain and neural networks of human and consists of fully digitalized equipments. Therefore, errors in the software for nuclear MMIS may occur an abnormal operation of nuclear power plant, can result in economic loss due to the consequential trip of the nuclear power plant. Verification and validation (V&V) is a software-engineering discipline that helps to build quality into software, and the nuclear industry has been defined by laws and regulations to implement and adhere to a through verification and validation activities along the software lifecycle. V&V is a collection of analysis and testing activities across the full lifecycle and complements the efforts of other quality-engineering functions. This study propose a methodology based on V&V activities and related tool-chain to improve quality for software in the nuclear power plant. The optimized methodology consists of a document evaluation, requirement traceability, source code review, and software testing. The proposed methodology has been applied and approved to the real MMIS project for Shin-Hanul units 1&2.
