Accurate SOC estimation is an important indicator of battery operation strategies, and many studies have been conducted. The simulation method which was mainly used in previous studies, is difficult to conduct real-time SOC estimation like real BMS environment. Therefore, this paper aims to implement a real-time battery SOC estimation embedded system and analyze problems that can arise during the verification process. In environment consisting of two Raspberry Pi boards, SOC estimation with the EKF uses data measured by the Simscape battery model. Considering that the operating characteristics of the battery vary depend on the temperature, the results were analyzed at various ambient temperatures. It was confirmed that accurate SOC estimation was performed even when offset fault and packet loss occurred due to communication or sensing problems. This paper proposes a guide for embedded system strategies that enable real-time SOC estimation with errors within 5%.

This paper proposes a new security system to detect cyber-attacks based on message authentication in a in-vehicle network. In the in-vehicle network, when a sending node transmits messages in a broadcast manner, it only uses a message identifier, rather than a node's identifier. It leads to a problem not identifying the source. In the proposed system, the sending node generates a message authentication code (MAC) using a cryptographic hash function to the control data and transmits it with the control data. When generating the MAC for each message, a multidimensional chaotic map is applied to increase the randomness of the result. The receiving node compares its MAC generated from the control data in the received message with the MAC of the received message to detect whether the message transmitted from the sending node is forged or not. We evaluate the performance of the proposed system by using CANoe and CAPL (Communication Access Programming Language). Our system shows a 100% of detection rate against cyber-attacks injected.

[Purpose] Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that it is possible to prescribe exercise for neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. However, despite the availability of diverse scientific knowledge, the effects of exercise in this regard are still unclear. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate a substance, such as black chokeberry (Aronia melanocapa L.) that could improve the ability of the treatment and enhance the benefits of exercising in neurodegenerative diseases. [Methods] The cell viability was tested with 2,3-bis[2-methyloxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolim-5-carboxanilide and the cells were stained with ethidium homodimer-1 solution. The mRNA expression levels were evaluated by microarray. The active compounds of black chokeberry ethanolic extract (BCE) were analyzed by gas chromatography. The chemical shift analysis in the brain was performed using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [Results] BCE treatment decreased hydrogen peroxide-induced L6 cell death and beta amyloid induced primary neuronal cell death. Furthermore, BCE treatment significantly reduced the mRNA levels of the inflammatory factors, such as IL-1α, Cxcl13, IL36rn, Itgb2, Epha2, Slamf8, Itgb6, Kdm6b, Acvr1, Cd6, Adora3, Cd27, Gata3, Tnfrsf25, Cd40lg, Clec10a, and Slc11a1, in the primary neuronal cells. Next, we identified 16 active compounds from BCE, including D-mannitol. In vivo, BCE (administered orally at a dosage of 50 mg/kg) significantly regulated chemical shift in the brain. [Conclusion] Our findings suggest that BCE can serve as a candidate for neurodegenerative disease therapy owing to its cyto-protective and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, BCE treatment is expected to prevent damage to the muscles and neurons of the athletes who continue high intensity exercise. In future studies, it would be necessary to elucidate the effects of combined BCE intake and exercise.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the normalization of mask-wearing worldwide, and young children are particularly vulnerable to respiratory diseases. Children's masks come in various sizes and shapes, causing confusion among consumers who struggle to find products that can accommodate their child's unique physical conditions. This research aims to analyze the shape and dimensions of health masks designed for young children. A total of 67 mask varieties were collected, and 58 were subjected to analysis. The masks were found to have two primary shapes: foldable and beak-like, with sizes categorized as small and extra-small. The majority of masks were manufactured in Korea, and the size labeling systems varied among manufacturers. The mask materials were non-woven fabric or polypropylene, and there was diversity in terms of the adjustable earbands and the use of additional accessories. The dimensions of the masks varied depending on their shape, with significant differences in the weight and the length of the wire holes. Subsequent research should focus on conducting wearability evaluations to verify the dimensional suitability of commercially available children's health masks based on shape and size. Additionally, this study aims to provide foundational data that can assist in the development of children's masks with size ranges that differentiate them from adult masks and cater to specific age groups.

This paper evaluates the Korean sentiment analysis performance of large language models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 using a zero-shot approach facilitated by the ChatGPT API, comparing them to pre-trained Korean models such as KoBERT. Through experiments utilizing various Korean sentiment analysis datasets in fields like movies, gaming, and shopping, the efficiency of these models is validated. The results reveal that the LMKor-ELECTRA model displayed the highest performance based on F1-score, while GPT-4 particularly achieved high accuracy and F1-scores in movie and shopping datasets. This indicates that large language models can perform effectively in Korean sentiment analysis without prior training on specific datasets, suggesting their potential in zero-shot learning. However, relatively lower performance in some datasets highlights the limitations of the zero-shot based methodology. This study explores the feasibility of using large language models for Korean sentiment analysis, providing significant implications for future research in this area.

In this paper, new lossless coding method of spectral coefficients for audio codec is proposed. Conventional lossless coder uses Huffman coding utilizing the statistical characteristics of spectral coefficients, but does not provide the high coding efficiency due to its simple structure. To solve this limitation, new lossless coding scheme with better performance is proposed that consists of bit-plane transform and run-length coding. In the proposed scheme, the spectral coefficients are first transformed by bit-plane into 1-D bit-stream with better correlative properties, which is then coded intorun-length and is finally Huffman coded. In addition, the coding performance is further increased by applying the proposed bit-plane coding selectively to each group, after the entire frequency is divided into 3 groups. The performance of proposed coding scheme is measured in terms of theoretical number of bits based on the entropy, and shows at most 6% enhancement compared to that of conventional lossless coder used in AAC audio codec.

In this study, the basic properties of cement paste with varying replacement ratio of micro-silica and fumed silica were analyzed to determine the suitability of nanomaterials for use as concrete admixtures. Referring to the ultra-high strength mix, the fluidity of cement paste was evaluated according to the nanomaterial replacement rate and the compressive strength characteristics were compared and analyzed. The related properties of the reactive nanomaterials to the cement hydrate were analyzed using SEM and EDS to observe the microstructure and identify the components of the hydration product. The reactive nanomaterials used in this study had tap densities between 0.061 and 0.264 g/cm³, which were lower than SF. Micro silica exhibited excellent compressive strength properties with increasing replacement ratio, but fumed silica, unlike micro white, obtained excellent compressive strength at replacement ratio of 0.01~0.1 %. The same trend was observed in the hydration characterization.
