Polyethylene pipes has useful benefits which are anti-corrosive and flexible material, so it is used to gas pipes but also class 3 water pipes of nuclear power plant, process pipes of petrochemical plant and chemical plant. So the usage of polyethylene pipes is widely increased. But it has been limited for the usage of polyethylene, because it can not be directly detected to fusion joints by using non destructive evaluation. Polyethylene pipes are connected by two methods, one is butt fusion and the other is electrofusion. Butt fusion is widely used to connecting the pipes. It is proposed to method for determining the reliability of joints in this study that is detection of the melt flow zone at fusion joints. In this study, middle density polyethylene is used, outside diameter of the test specimen is 225mm and thickness is 20.5mm. Speed of ultrasonic of this test specimen is 2,200m/s. Test specimens were fabricated by varying the heating time which means from 0% to 130% applying time through heating plate to polyethylene for detecting melt flow zone. Also 4 additional test specimens were made, one was made that not scrapping attached surface of pipes but applying 100% of the proper heating time and the others were made to include of soil, gravel and vinly tape paper at fusion joints, that were also applied 100% of proper heating time. Ultrasonic testing to measure the melt flow zone of 20 test specimens was conducted by using 3.5MHz and 5.0MHz ultrasonic probes and melt flow zone measuring was conducted to three times at different point to one specimen. To differentiate the melt flow zone signal, post image processing was equally conducted to all test results and image levels, contrast, sharpen, threshold were adopted to all teat results and the test results were displayed gray scale. From the results, for the shorter heating times the reflection area of multiple echo have been increased, so the data was obtained from the position where it can be eliminated as much as possible. At 80% of proper heating time(168 sec.), the signal of melt flow zone was obtained clearly, so measuring could be conducted. From 7% of proper heating time(15 sec.) to shorter heating times. we could not obtain the signal because test specimen was not fused. From the result, we can verify that measuring of melt flow zone by using phased array ultrasonic imaging method is possible. And we can verify to complete and incomplete butt fusion by measuring the melt flow zone.

This study examines room assignments to improve accessibility in a university dormitory depending on the student grade, taking into account frequency of using a certain common space. An integer programming model is presented to minimize the total moving distance from the common space to the students' rooms for accessibility. The model also constrains the maximum capacity of a room, and disallows different grade students to be assigned to the same room. This model is similar to a facility location problem used widely in the supply chain management field. Applying our optimization model to a small group at the dormitory of Unversity A as the case study, our results indicate that lower grade students are assigned rooms closer to the common space due to their higher frequency of using that space to guarantee high accessibility. Moreover, if higher grade students are prioritized to select their rooms, we suggest an objective function that imposes a penalty in cases when lower grade students select rooms with priority. Based on the results obtained, we propose assigning rooms to students in a dormitory by considering their complex requirements and convenience to use the common space.

This paper proposes a direction estimation scheme with directional speaker and smart device for evacuation guidance. When there is worst disaster environment filled with smoke and noisy sound, evacuee can not get any information about evacuation routes. The proposed scheme can be used for detecting evacuation routes with audible and inaudible signal from directional speaker. At this point, evacuee can get evacuee guidance by using smartphone application that the proposed scheme is applied. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by experiment with three different types of smart devices in large indoor environment. The purpose of experiment is to detect the direction of transmitted signal from directional speaker. Therefore, The experiment is conducted by analyzing the strength of transmitted signal by distance. The experimental results show that even if the smart device is located up to 20m away from the speaker, it is possible to detect the sending direction of the signal. We confirmed the possibility of the proposed technology in 8kHz and 20kHz signal detection by smart device.

기상이변으로 인한 사회 경제적 피해의 증가로 기상정보에 대한 중요성이 커지면서 해외에서는 민간 기업이 기상 관측망을 구축하는 사례가 나타났다. 미국의 Earth Network은 전 세계에 1만개의 기상 관측센서를 설치하였고, 일본의 통신회사인 NTT DoCoMo는 일본에 4000여 개의 기상 및 환경관측 센서를 구축하였다. 국내에서는 SK플래닛이 자사의 플랫폼 기술과 SK텔레콤의 기지국 인프라를 활용하여 수도권 지역에 국지기상 관측망을 구축하였다. SK플래닛은 2013년 서울지역에 1km 간격으로 264개의 기상센서를 설치하고, 2014년 인천 경기지역에 3km 간격으로 825개의 기상센서를 추가 설치하여, 현재 1089개의 국지기상 관측망을 운용하고 있다. 관측에 사용한 센서는 우량계와 복합 기상센서로 강수량, 기온, 습도, 바람, 기압을 측정한다. 관측된 자료는 데이터로거에서 기상청의 자료처리 표준규격에 따라 처리한 후 M2M 모뎀을 통해 1분마다 서버로 전송한다. 전송된 자료는 기상정보 플랫폼의 수집 서버에서 프로토콜 변환 후 원본자료 DB에 저장하고, 실시간 품질관리를 마친 후 품질관리 자료 DB에 저장한다. 관측 지점의 기본정보 및 작업이력은 메타데이터 DB에 저장되고 관리자 페이지를 통해 조회 및 수정 된다. 관측 자료의 품질 보증은 제조사의 센서 Calibration부터 서비스 모니터링 까지 각 단계별로 체계적인 품질관리를 통해 이루어진다. 품질관리를 마친 국지기상 관측 데이터는 응용프로그램 개발자가 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 API(Application Programming Interface)형태로 제공된다. 2013년 여름부터 수집된 1~3km 해상도의 SK플래닛 국지기상 관측 자료를 통해 그 동안 정량적으로 확인하지 못한 국지성 호우 시의 강수량 편차에 대해 알 수 있었다. 2014년 7월 31일 양평지역에 내린 국지성 호우는 시간당 최대 90mm 이상의 비가 내린 사례로, 귀여리 관측소(SK 플래닛)에 시간당 93.1mm가 내리는 동안 퇴촌 관측소(기상청)에는 17.5mm의 비가 내려, 두 관측지점 간 거리가 3.4km 임에도 불구하고 시간당 75mm 이상의 강수량 차이를 보였다. 앞으로 SK플래닛의 국지기상 관측 자료가 국지성 호우의 조기 경보 및 예측 정확도 향상에 활용되어 재난으로부터 국민의 생명과 재산을 지키는데 많은 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

Surface state change of ammunition generated during the storage period increases the surface roughness and this affects the flight of ammunition, but there are no research results quantitatively indicating this. In this study, the drag force for each Mach number of howitzer shells was calculated through CFD to which the surface data of the howitzer shell was applied, and analysis of trajectory was performed using drag force values as an input of the 4th Runge-Kutta method, and the degree of decrease of the maximum range caused by the surface roughness of the howitzer shell was estimated. As a result, it was confirmed that the maximum range of howitzer shell with high surface roughness was 1.12 % shorter than that of howitzer shell without roughness. It was confirmed that the effect of surface roughness on the trajectory is not negligible.

We have developed a homemade particle inflow gun (PIG) system which has simple operation method, low price and high gene introduction efficiency into rice callus. Rice callus were inflowed with gold particles containing DNA of a plasmid, pIG121Hm, harboring intron GUS ($\beta$-glucuronidase) gene, NPTII gene and HPT gene. For optimal GUS transient expression, the effects of parameters on DNA delivery efficiency of the PIG system was investigated by scoring transient GUS expression. The highest number of blue spots was observed at 16 mM of spemidine and 1.5 M of calcium chloride, respectively. And the amount of gold particles required for the best GUD expression was 2 mg. Optimum GUS transient expression was observed at target distance of 12 cm and helium pressure of 3.5 bar (50 psi). Gene introduction efficiency of the PIG system was observed almost similar to that of the Biolistic Gun (Bio-Rad Company). Since PIG system is simple to operate and one doesn't need disposable accessaries, the PIG system can be easily applied to various replication experiments.

$21^{st}$ century is digitally civilized era. Technologies such as AI, Iot, Big Data, Mobile and etc makes this era digitally advanced. These advancement of the technology greatly impacted detection range of the radar. Human's eye sight can see about 20Km and hear 20 ~ 20000 Hz. These limitations can be overcome using radar. This radar technology is used in military, aircraft, ship, vehicle and etc. to replace human eye. However, radar technology is capable of making False Alarm Rate. This document will propose the fix of these problems. Radar's distortion includes beam refraction, diffraction and reflection. These inaccurate data result in deterioration of human judgements and my cause various casualties and damages. Radar goes through annual testing to test how many false alarm is being produced. Normal radar usually makes 10 to 20 False alarms. In emergency situation, if operator were to follow this false alarm, this might result in following false object or take 12 more seconds to follow the right object. This problem can be overcome by using different radar data from different places and angles. This helps reduces False Alarm rate and track the object twice as fast.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a safe area for a passing vessel between anchored vessels by developing a model to predict the collision risk, frequent collisions occur between the anchored vessel and the passing vessel through the anchorage. For this, this study selected the southern anchorage of Busan port, which is the largest harbor in Korea, as the target area and extracted and analyzed VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) data during the period in which anchored vessels were the most waited. The ratio of D/L for each bearing was obtained to determine the safe distance (D) passes based on the length (L) of the passing vessel between anchored vessels. Based on the average domain of the D/L ratio distribution, the percentage of anchored vessels within the scope of the pre-studied ship's domain was analyzed to obtain a domain reflecting the degree of risk of VTSOs. Further research will evaluate and analyze the collision risk of a passing vessel using Domain-watch, the minimum safe distance between anchored vessels, and the safe domain of a passing vessel through anchorage, to develop a model for VTS to manage anchorages more efficiently and safely.

In this paper, in order to disambiguate Korean noun word sense, we define a local context and explain how to extract it from a raw corpus. Following the intuition that two different nouns are likely to have similar meanings if they occur in the same local context, we use, as a clue, the word that occurs in the same local context where the target noun occurs. This method increases the usability of extracted knowledge and makes it possible to disambiguate the sense of infrequent words. And we can overcome the data sparseness problem by extending the verbs in a local context. The sense of a target noun is decided by the maximum similarity to the clues learned previously. The similarity between two words is computed by their concept distance in the sense hierarchy borrowed from WordNet. By reducing the multiplicity of clues gradually in the process of computing maximum similarity, we can speed up for next time calculation. When a target noun has more than two local contexts, we assign a weight according to the type of each local context to implement the differences according to the strength of semantic restriction of local contexts. As another knowledge source, we get a co-occurrence information from dictionary definitions and example sentences about the target noun. This is used to support local contexts and helps to select the most appropriate sense of the target noun. Through experiments using the proposed method, we discovered that the applicability of local contexts is very high and the co-occurrence information can supplement the local context for the precision. In spite of the high multiplicity of the target nouns used in our experiments, we can achieve higher performance (89.8%) than the supervised methods which use a sense-tagged corpus.
