  • Indoor Air Quality is crucial in hospital projects to ensure the health and safety of patients, staff, and visitors. The research methodology comprises an comprehensive literature review, then a comprehensive questionnaire survey conducted among stakeholders involved in Vietnamese hospital projects. 15 variables were identified and categorized into four distinct groups, elucidating their influence on the adoption of advanced IAQ-enhancing technology. This study uses factor analysis, a mean score method and hypothesis test to analyze the factor result from the survey. two-step process, including an in-depth literature review and questionaire survey. The study's findings culminated in the ranking, examination, and categorization of these 15 variables, which were clustered into four essential categories: economic factors, design elements, governance strategies, and technical requirements. Additionally, the research explored viable solutions to improve indoor air quality in Vietnam's unique environmental context, examining the factors that impact the selection of such solutions. The study's outcomes yield practical recommendations for architects, engineers, and hospital administrators in enhancing IAQ within healthcare facilities. Furthermore, it presents a framework attuned to local environmental factors and building materials, contributing significantly to the existing body of knowledge on IAQ within hospital projects, particularly in the Vietnamese context.

  • Genetic modifications in noncoding regulatory regions are likely critical to human evolution. Human-accelerated noncoding elements are highly conserved noncoding regions among vertebrates but have large differences across humans, which implies human-specific regulatory potential. In this study, we found that human-accelerated noncoding elements were frequently coupled with DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs), together with monomethylated and trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4, which are active regulatory markers. This coupling was particularly pronounced in fetal brains relative to adult brains, non-brain fetal tissues, and embryonic stem cells. However, fetal brain DHSs were also specifically enriched in deeply conserved sequences, implying coexistence of universal maintenance and human-specific fitness in human brain development. We assessed whether this coexisting pattern was a general one by quantitatively measuring evolutionary rates of DHSs. As a result, fetal brain DHSs showed a mixed but distinct signature of regional conservation and outlier point acceleration as compared to other DHSs. This finding suggests that brain developmental sequences are selectively constrained in general, whereas specific nucleotides are under positive selection or constraint relaxation simultaneously. Hence, we hypothesize that human- or primate-specific changes to universally conserved regulatory codes of brain development may drive the accelerated, and most likely adaptive, evolution of the regulatory network of the human brain.

  • This study explores the application of Mission Engineering, a concept and methodology adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, to the Republic of Korea's defense planning and management system in response to the rapidly changing security environment. Through literature review, analysis of prior research and case studies, and focus group interviews (FGI), key elements of Mission Engineering were derived. Based on these findings, improvements for the ROK military's requirements planning and rapid acquisition system were proposed. As a result, three critical elements for applying Mission Engineering were identified: operational concepts, required capabilities, and acquisition. Suggestions for improvement include transitioning to a mission-oriented requirements planning system, applying Mission Engineering methodology when formulating operational concepts, supporting decision-making to shorten acquisition timelines, allocating budgets for rapid acquisition, and strengthening the capabilities of requirement-setting units. This study confirms the necessity and applicability of Mission Engineering and is expected to serve as a foundation for the future development of the defense planning and management system.

  • The present study describes a method for analytical solution to elastic field in structural elements of general symmetric laminated composite materials. The two dimensional plane stress elasticity problems under mixed boundary conditions are reduced to the solution of a single fourth order partial differential equation, expressed in terms of a single unknown function, called displacement potential function. In addition, all the components of stress and displacement are expressed in terms of the same displacement potential function, which makes the method suitable for any boundary conditions. The method is applied to obtain analytical solutions to two particular problems of structural elements consisting of an angle-ply laminate and a cross-ply laminate, respectively. Some numerical results are presented for both the problems with reference to the glass/epoxy composite. The results are highly accurate and reliable as all the boundary conditions including those in the critical regions of supports and loads are satisfied exactly. This verifies the method as a simple and reliable one as well as capable to obtain exact analytical solution to elastic field in structural elements of composite materials under mixed and any other boundary conditions.

  • TRL has a direct impact on development schedule and cost in the system or technology development projects. If TRL capability of development organization for specified CTEs can be accurately assessed and the impact of TRL on development schedule and cost are analyzed as detailed as possible, the risk of development schedule delay and cost increase can be minimized during the development process. This paper describes analysis results of TRL impact on development schedule and cost in the aerospace project. The development schedule and cost change are quantitatively estimated for the TRL improvement in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) system development program.

  • WebView is a vital component in smartphone platforms like Android, Windows and iOS that enables smartphone applications (apps) to embed a simple yet powerful web browser inside them. WebView not only provides the same functionalities as web browser, it, more importantly, enables a rich interaction between apps and webpages loaded inside the WebView. However, the design and the features of WebView lays path to tamper the sandbox protection mechanism implemented by browsers. As a consequence, malicious attacks can be launched either against the apps or by the apps through the exploitation of WebView APIs. This paper presents a critical attack called Supplementary Event-Listener Injection (SEI) attack which adds auxiliary event listeners, for executing malicious activities, on the HTML elements in the webpage loaded by the WebView via JavaScript Injection. This paper also proposes an automated static analysis system for analyzing WebView embedded apps to classify the kind of vulnerability possessed by them and a solution for the mitigation of the attack.

  • For the increasingly complicated and technology dependent 21st century, ICT literacy is being emphasized by education authorities as a key ability needed to succeed in a knowledge-based society. Accordingly, since 2007, several studies have been conducted to measure the ICT literacy levels of students. This study aimed at analyzing how ICT literacy levels vary according to students' skill sets from the viewpoint of educational convenience. To fulfill this goal, the ICT literacy abilities of 167 elementary students and 159 middle school students (all receiving education at "gifted students" education centers) were compared with the following results. First, elementary students displayed differences with regards to 'computer and network' and 'information society and ethics' among the content elements, and 'critical mind' and 'information communication' among capability elements according to their skill sets. Second, middle school students displayed differences with regards to 'information society and ethics' and 'information organization and creation' elements according to their skill sets. The significance of this study lies in the fact that it measured the ICT literacy levels of --and made suggestions for education to-- students specially gifted in information, science and mathematics rather than general students.

  • A method of activation analysis, based on the irradiation and counting of an iron wire which contains manganese impurity as the single comparator. has been elaborated by critical evaluation of nuclear data involved in activation and activity measurement. The variation of effective cross section is investigated as a function of the spectral index and other parameters such as a measure of the proportion of epithermal neutrons in the reactor spectrum. The errors induced by shifts in the neutron spectrum in the irradiation positions are discussed. The known amount of each element is irradiated simultaneously together with the single comparator, and the obtained values are compared with the known amount of each element. The results show that en general the random errors are not greater than those obtained by using the conventional relative method, but the systematic errors were up to about 20%. This method is applied to the determinations of fourteen rare earth elements in monazite as well as other seven elements in the standard kale powder. The satisfactory reproducibility of the present method makes possible the determination of the elements with an accuracy attainable with the conventional relative method.

  • This study is on the simulation conditions of the tentative 'mobilization simulation mode'(MOBSM) and the setting option of major simulation elements. The MOBSM is a training module that practices mobilization of various institutions through a simulation computer similar to actual situations. So far, mobilization exercise(Mob-Ex) is a message simulation method, so it is necessary to convert into a MOBSM because many problems such as fragmentary and practice only by some institutions are raised. Therefore, the theoretical background and previous studies on Mob-Ex and simulation were reviewed to derive the requirements and simulated elements of the MOBSM to meet the purpose of government level exercise and to suggest the critical concepts and the direction of application. The basic requirement is to simulate the main mobilization practices by institution and provide information on the mobilization execution in a nationwide scope. The simulation elements are simulated events and flow charts by mobilization type, simulated range and level by object, simulated contents of material mobilization by institution, key simulated items, DB application, and simulated period, etc. This study will be useful for policy establishment and follow-up research for technology development of MOBSM in the future, and will accelerate the transition to practical mobilization exercise by MOBSM.
