태양전지는 무기태양전지와 유기태양전지 등이 연구 되고 있는데 [1] 그 중 유기물질의 장점(높은 수율, solution phase processing, 저비용으로 전력 생산)과 무기재료의 장점(높은 전자 이동도, 넓은 흡수 범위, 우수한 환경 및 열 안정성)을 융합함으로써 장기적 구조안정성의 확보와 광전변환의 고 효율화를 동시에 달성하기 위한 유기무기 하이브리드 태양전지가 최근 큰 관심을 끌고 있다[2]. 본 연구에서는 hybrid photovoltaics에 유기물 MDMO-PPV와 전도성 고분자 PEDOT:PSS를 무기물 GaN 위에 spin coating 하여 두께에 다른 효율을 측정하였다. 유기물 MDMO-PPV는 p-형으로 클로로벤젠, 톨루엔과 같은 유기 용매에 잘 녹으며 HOMO 5.33eV, LUMO 2.97eV, energy band gap 2.4eV이며 99.5%의 순도 물질을 사용하였다. 또한 정공 수송층(hole transport layer, HTL)으로 PEDOT:PSS를 사용하였으며, HOMO 5.0eV, LUMO 3.6eV, energy band gap 1.4eV를 가지며 증류수나 에탄올과 같은 수용성 용매에 잘 녹는 특성을 가지고 있다. 무기물은 III-V 족 물질 n-GaN(002)을 사용하였고 valence band energy 1.9eV, conduction band energy 6.3eV, energy band gap 3.4eV, 높은 전자 이동도와 높은 포화 속도, 광전자 소자에 유리한 광 전기적 특성을 가지고 있다. 기판으로는 GaN와 격자 부정합도와 열팽창계수 부정합도가 큰 Sapphire (Al2O3) 이종 기판을 사용하였다. 전극으로 Au를 사용하였으며 E-beam증착하였다. Reflector로서 Al를 thermal evaporator로 증착하였다 [3]. 실험 과정은 두께에 따른 효율을 알아보기 위해 MDMO-PPV를 900~1,500 rpm으로 spin coating 하였고, 열처리에 따른 효율을 알아보기 위해 열처리 온도 조건을 $110{\sim}170^{\circ}C$의 변화를 주었다. FE-SEM으로 표면과 단면을 관찰하였으며 J-V 특성을 알아보기 위해 각 샘플마다 solar simulator를 사용하여 측정하였고 그 결과를 논의하였다.

The development of IT has led to increase the business's dependence on IT and the interests of enterprises on IT governance. Also, more enterprises have adopted managed services to save operating costs in IT departments and to maximize their business efficiency. However, until recently, there are very few academic as well as practical researches regarding managed services, IT service effectiveness, IT governance and their interrelations. This study analyzes the effects of managed services on IT governance based on the IT-BSC (Balanced Scorecard) model. Using the expert FGI (Focus Group Interview) and survey, the research results present that managed services have the most significant effect on the user-oriented and the operational efficiency in enterprises. Also, managed services through the business process standardization can improve the IT governance more effectively. This study will be a relevant guideline for enterprises that will adopt managed services.

This study proposes RAG (Region Adjancency Graph)-based image segmentation for large imagery in remote sensing. The proposed algorithm uses CN-chain linking for computational efficiency and multi-window operation of sliding structure for memory efficiency. Region-merging due to RAG is a process to find an edge of the best merge and update the graph according to the merge. The CN-chain linking constructs a chain of the closest neighbors and finds the edge for merging two adjacent regions. It makes the computation time increase as much as an exact multiple in the increasement of image size. An RNV (Regional Neighbor Vector) is used to update the RAG according to the change in image configuration due to merging at each step. The analysis of large images requires an enormous amount of computational memory. The proposed sliding multi-window operation with horizontal structure considerably the memory capacity required for the analysis and then make it possible to apply the RAG-based segmentation for very large images. In this study, the proposed algorithm has been extensively evaluated using simulated images and the results have shown its potentiality for the application of remotely-sensed imagery.

상수도 관망은 대표적인 사회기반시설로 수원으로부터 수용가에 이르기까지 안정적으로 유량을 공급하는 것을 목표로 한다. 상수도 관망의 최적설계는 요구되는 절점의 수압, 관로의 유속 등 수리학적 제약조건을 만족시키는 범위 안에서 비용을 최소화하는 설계안을 얻어내는 것을 목표로 시작하였다. 하지만 비용만을 고려한 과거의 상수도 관망 최적설계는 미래의 불확실한 조건에 매우 취약하고, 사용자의 다양한 요구를 충족시키지 못한다. 이 때문에 현대의 상수도 관망의 설계시 다양한 설계인자의 고려와 함께 효율적인 최적설계기법 적용의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상수도 관망 최적설계에 다양한 설계인자를 동시에 고려하기 위해 다목적 최적 설계기법인 Multi-objective Harmony Search 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 또한 다목적 최적설계의 효율성 증대를 위하여 매개변수 자동보정 기법 중 하나인 Parameter-Setting-Free (PSF) 기법(Geem and Sim, 2010)을 사용하였다. PSF 기법은 최적화 알고리즘의 매개변수 설정의 번거로움을 없애고, 반복수행을 통한 해 탐색이 진행됨에 따라 가장 효율적으로 작용하는 매개변수를 자동으로 설정하여 탐색효율을 강화하도록 고안된 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 기법을 실제 상수도관망의 최적설계에 적용하였고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안된 기법을 통해 관망의 비용을 포함한 다양한 설계인자를 동시에 만족시키는 최적설계안을 효과적으로 도출 할 수 있었으며, 매개변수 자동보정 기법의 적용을 통해 해 탐색의 효율성과 편의성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This paper presents a novel lightweight object detection model tailored for low-powered edge devices, addressing the limitations of traditional resource-intensive computer vision models. Our proposed detector, inspired by the Single Shot Detector (SSD), employs a compact yet robust network design. Crucially, it integrates an 'enhancer block' that significantly boosts its efficiency in detecting smaller objects. The model comprises two primary components: the Light_Block for efficient feature extraction using Depth-wise and Pointwise Convolution layers, and the Enhancer_Block for enhanced detection of tiny objects. Trained from scratch on the Udacity Annotated Dataset with image dimensions of 300x480, our model eschews the need for pre-trained classification weights. Weighing only 5.5MB with approximately 0.43M parameters, our detector achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 27.7% and processed at 140 FPS, outperforming conventional models in both precision and efficiency. This research underscores the potential of lightweight designs in advancing object detection for edge devices without compromising accuracy.

Maximizing the efficiency of blasting operations is crucial for reducing project costs, shortening timelines, and minimizing environmental impacts-key factors for the success of large-scale marine reclamation projects. This study explores the application of pocket-charging methods, developed from mining principles, to enhance rock fragmentation efficiency in large-scale blasts. The aim is to optimize the material production process for marine reclamation construction. The pocket-charging technique efficiently disperses blasting energy, increasing the extent of rock fragmentation and thereby improving overall blasting performance. Even with minimal explosive quantities, optimal results and cost-efficient, expedited construction can be achieved. This research validates the effectiveness of pocket-charge blasting through blast simulation programs and outlines suitable blasting designs and strategies.

Productivity is important to evaluate an efficiency of performed work and organization in construction industry. The productivity should be defined as activity level rather than macro level in order to effectively use productivity data and manage a project. The primary objective of this study is to develop a construction productivity management system using data warehouse, OLAP and data mining technologies which enables to easily accumulate the construction productivity data and perform multi layer analysis. Finally, it is anticipated that the effective use of the developed system would be able to measure the result of project and make a plan of the similar project with reliability.

It is necessary to diagnose the standard record management system when the system is being spread out to entire public organization and institutions. This study aims to analyze the standard record management system for improving system and revising the related standards in the future. This study evaluates the satisfaction on the interface and functional quality of the system through questionnaire survey on records managers. It is found that the satisfaction of functional quality is just above the line, but the interface fails to satisfy records managers. Also the reliability of the system appears to be higher satisfaction than efficiency and usability. Therefore, the study suggests that the standard records management systems should try to improve 'easy of use' and effectiveness and efficiency by implementing heavy batch job and promoting modulation of key function. And the study emphasizes that the standards will be revised with the long-term plan in order to develop standard records management system systematically and continuously.

This paper evaluates the efficiency of monetary policy in Korea within the framework of interest rate feedback rules. For this, a small open macroeconomic model is constructed in a similar fashion to Ball (1999). The model is shown to capture key features of the Korean economy well. Using this estimated model, optimal instrument rules are derived for a set of different monetary policy objectives. Empirical results find that the actual monetary policy in the class of instrument rules was not very effective in stabilizing the output gap relative to inflation. However, seemingly successful inflation stabilization observed in the data are not consistent with the policy rules as the reaction of the interest rate to inflation is very low. It also appears that the central bank did not react right to movements in the real exchange rate. This paper offers some suggestions for the conduct of monetary policy in Korea.
