Internet of thing becomes more active, many sensor devices are increasing. Sensors can use network wired network or use mobile communication network. From the viewpoint of the transmission rate, the mobile communication network can be roughly divided into two types of high-speed communication and low-speed communication. In the case of hundreds of millions of sensors in the mobile communication network, resources are wasted to use high-speed communication. Communication is required to reduce the transmission rate and appropriately allocate resources without wasting such resources. As the Internet of Thing has been activated, Narrowband Internet of Thing(NB-IoT), which is one of the low-power technologies in recent mobile communications, is in the spotlight from various companies. Currently, it can be seen that only NB-IoT or other low power consumption communication has the potential to be able to connect to the Internet with rapidly increasing sensor devices. In this paper, we designed and implemented a heater controller using Huawei NB-IoT communication Module, a server that collects controller information, and an application that allows default settings for devices. The main function of this system is to collect temperature and heater status and give it to the server, control the heater from the server, and set parameters for the heater to operate automatically. The system can be applied to places where wired communication is not established, such as road information, smart agriculture, and small reservoirs as well as heaters.

Chronic diseases have been increasing recently as the average life expectancy of humans has been extended, and this trend has caused problems such as the widespread demand for health and rehabilitation services and rising medical costs. In order to solve this problem, the community-based rehabilitation has been developed and strengthened in Korea and gradually promoted since 2019. It is important to secure access to clients who want to use services to revitalize community-based rehabilitation. So in this study, as part of the community-based rehabilitation, intends to devise smartphone applications designs and develop a prototype to secure access to community-based occupational therapy services based on occupation and activities. For Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and Allen Diagnostic Module-2 (ADM-2) were used to devise and categorize occupation and activity based application content, and link OTPF, ICF, and ADM-2 through prior research analysis and expert meetings. The derived content was visualized through literature review and activity analysis, and was implemented to enable direct playback within the application using the YouTube API, and finally developed a prototype application.

In this study, we simulated induced seismicity in the Groningen natural gas reservoir using 2D hydro-mechanical coupled discrete element modelling (DEM). The code used is PFC2D (Particle Flow Code 2D), a commercial software developed by Itasca, and in order to apply to this study we further developed 1)initialization of inhomogeneous reservoir pressure distribution, 2)a non-linear pressure-time history boundary condition, 3)local stress field monitoring logic. We generated a 2D reservoir model with a size of 40 × 50 km² and a complex fault system, and simulated years of pressure depletion with a time range between 1960 and 2020. We simulated fault system failure induced by pressure depletion and reproduced the spatiotemporal distribution of induced seismicity and assessed its failure mechanism. Also, we estimated the ground subsidence distribution and confirmed its similarity to the field measurements in the Groningen region. Through this study, we confirm the feasibility of the presented 2D hydro-mechanical coupled DEM in simulating the deformation of a complex fault system by hydro-mechanical coupled processes.

산업발전에 따른 인구증가, 기후위기에 따른 가뭄 및 물 부족심화, 그리고 수질오염 등은 2015년 제79차 UN총회의 물 안보측면에서 국제사회의 물 분야 위기관리를 위해 2030년을 지속가능한 발전 목표(Sustainable Development Goals)로 하였다. 또한, 현재 물 산업은 빠르게 성장하고 있으며, 2016년 세계경제포럼(World Economic Forum) 의장 클라우스 슈밥(Klaus Schwab)부터 주창된 제4차 산업혁명로 인해 현재 물 산업의 패러다임 또한 급속히 변화하고 있다. 이는 컴퓨터를 기반으로 하는 CPS(Cyber Physical System) 및 DT(Digital Twin) 연계 분석방식의 혁신을 일컫는다. 2002년경에 DT의 기본개념이 제시되었고, 2006년경에는 Embedded System에서의 DT와 같은 개념으로 CPS의 용어가 등장했다. DT는 현실세계에 존재하는 사물, 시스템, 환경 등을 S/W시스템의 가상공간에 동일하게 모사(Virtualization) 및 모의(Simulation)할 수 있도록 하고, 모의결과를 가상시스템으로 현실세계를 최적화 체계 구현 기술을 말한다. DT의 6가지 기능은 ① 실제 데이터(Live Data), ② 모사, ③ 분석정보(Analytics), ④ 모의, ⑤ 예측(Predictions), ⑥ 자동화(Automation) 이다. 또한, CPS는 대규모 센서 및 액추에이터(Actuator)를 가지는 물리적 요소와 이를 실시간으로 제어하는 컴퓨팅 요소가 결합된 복합시스템을 말한다. CPS는 물리세계에서 발생하는 변화를 감지할 수 있는 다양한 센서를 통해 환경인지 기능을 수행한다. 센서로부터 수집된 정보와 물리세계를 재현 및 투영하는 고도화된 시스템 모델들을 기반으로 사이버 물리공간을 인지·분석·예측할 수 있다. CPS의 6가지 구성요소는 ① 상호 운용성(Interoperability), ② 가상화(Virtualization), ③ 분산화(Decentralization), ④ 실시간(Real-time Capability), ⑤ 서비스 오리엔테이션(Service Orientation), ⑥ 모듈화(Modularity)이다. DT와 CPS는 본질적으로 같은 목적, 내용, 그리고 결과를 만들어내고자 하는 같은 종류의 기술이라고 할 수 있다. CPS 및 DT는 물리세계에서 발생하는 변화를 감지할 수 있으며, 토양-지하수 센서를 포함한 관측기술을 통해 환경인지 기능을 수행한다. 지하수 관측기술로부터 수집된 정보와 물리세계를 재현 및 투영하는 고도화된 시스템 모델들을 기반으로 사이버 물리공간 및 디지털 트윈 공간을 인지·분석·예측할 수 있다. CPS 및 DT의 기본 요소들을 실현시키는 것은 양질의 데이터를 모니터링할 수 있는 정확하고 정밀한 1차원 연직 프로파일링 관측기술이며, 이를 토대로 한 수자원 관련 빅데이터의 증가, 빅데이터의 저장과 분석을 가능하게 하는 플랫폼의 개발이다. 본 연구는 CPS 및 DT 기반 토양수분-지하수 관측기술을 이용한 지표수-지하수 연계, 지하수 순환 및 관리, 정수 운영 및 진단프로그램 개발을 위한 토양수분-지하수 관측장치를 지하수 플랫폼 동시성과 디지털 트윈 시뮬레이터 시스템 개발 방향으로 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, with the introduction of drones, a core technology of the 4th industrial revolution, various convergence education using drones is being conducted in school education sites. In particular, drone theory and practice education is being conducted in connection with free semester classes and career exploration. The drone convergence education program has higher learner satisfaction than simple demonstration and practice education, and the learning effect is high due to direct practical experience. However, since practical education is being conducted for a large number of learners, it is impossible to restrict and control the flight of a large number of drones in a limited place. In this paper, we propose a monitoring system that allows the instructor to monitor multiple drones in real time and learners to recognize collisions between drones in advance when multiple drones are operated, focusing on education operated in schools. The communication module used in the experiment was equipped with GPS in Murata LoRa, and the server and client were configured to enable monitoring based on the location data received in real time. The performance of the proposed system was evaluated in an open space, and it was confirmed that the communication signal was good up to a distance of about 120m. In other words, it was confirmed that 25 educational drones can be controlled within a range of 240m and the instructor can monitor them.

River restoration or rehabilitation should be conducted in a way to maximize the channel stability with natural river configuration close to the equilibrium condition considering divers aspects of fluvial hydraulics, erosion and sedimentation, fluvial geomorphology, and ecological environment and to minimize the maintenance work. Therefore, the channel stability evaluation for present condition based on the equilibrium channel concept should be preceded for the river restoration project. Methods for equilibrium channel theory have generally been developed following either analytical regime theory or empirical regime theory. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the stability of present channel condition for the section of abandoned channel restoration in Cheongmi Stream using the Stable channel Analytical Model (SAM) and equilibrium hydraulic geometry equations. The results of analytical and empirical regime theories should provide fundamental and essential information to design the stable channel geometry. As a calculation result of Copeland's method for the study reach, the equilibrium channel has a narrower channel width, deeper water depth, and more gentle slope than the present channel geometry. As results of equilibrium hydraulic geometry equations, predicted equilibrium widths are less than the channel width in the field. It is represented that the current bed slope must be gentle to reach the equilibrium condition according to the results of Julien and Wargadalam method.

This study applied virtual reality systems for forest therapy to reduce motion sickness and enhance immersion using multi-sensory elements. In applying virtual reality systems, multi-sensory elements were utilized to reduce motion sickness while providing a more immersive experience. Among these elements, tactile and olfactory devices utilizing wind and scent were developed and employed. The program was developed using Unity3D's HDRP (High Definition Render Pipeline), and both HMD (Head Mounted Display) and non-HMD systems were established to determine if visual motion induces motion sickness. An air circulator was placed to provide a sense of wind and allow users to smell scents through the olfactory device. An experiment was designed to examine whether tactile and olfactory stimuli influence user satisfaction with the virtual reality forest therapy system. The results showed that the tactile device significantly reduced motion sickness, while the developed olfactory device did not yield significant results in reducing motion sickness for participants.
