The aim of this research is suggesting the method of obtaining well-graded aggregates for concrete replacing the recycled aggregate which size range is from 5 to 13 mm to currently used gap-graded natural aggregates which size range is only 13 to 25 mm. according to the tests results, the workability of concrete was improved with replacing the aggregates of 5 to 13 mm of size range because of compensating gap-grading. Furthermore, there was an improvement in compressive strength when the aggregates of 5 to 13 mm of size range was replaced because obtained well-graded aggregates contributed on increasing adhesiveness and filling internal pore system. Comparing replacing recycled aggregate to natural aggregate, there was no significant difference on the performances.

A study on agricultural automation became more important. In Korea, sweet persimmon farmers spend a lot of time and effort on classifying profitable persimmons. In this paper, we propose and implement an efficient grading algorithm for persimmons before shipment. We gathered more than 1,750 images of persimmons, and the images were graded and labeled for classifications purpose. Our main algorithm is based on EfficientDet object detection model but we implemented more exquisite method for better classification performance. In order to improve the precision of classification, we adopted a machine learning algorithm, which was proposed by PyCaret machine learning workflow generation library. Finally we acquired an improved classification model with the accuracy score of 81%.

A 154 kV class high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable system is developing in Korea. For insulation design or this cable, the grading method of insulating paper is proposed. The use of graded insulation gives improved bending properties of the cable. Therefore, we discussed the electrical stress distribution and calculation for grading insulation design of a HTS cable. Also. the basic insulation design of 154 kV class HTS power cable was done.

Background: Facial nerve palsy presents a significant healthcare challenge, impacting daily life and social interactions. This systematic review investigates the potential utility of ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool for facial nerve palsy. Methods: Electronic searches will be conducted across various databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central register of Controlled Trials), CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), KMBASE (Korean Medical Database), ScienceON, and OASIS (Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System), up to February 2024. The primary outcome will focus on ultrasonography-related parameters, such as facial nerve diameter and muscle thickness. Secondary outcomes will encompass clinical measurements, including facial nerve grading scales and electrodiagnostic studies. the risk of bias in individual study will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool, while the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluations methodology will be utilized to evaluate the overall quality of evidence. Conclusion: This study aims to review existing evidence and evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of ultrasonography for peripheral facial nerve palsy.

Eggs are an important source of protein for the human diet. Consumers want fresher, more delicious and more sanitary eggs. In Korea, the Shell Egg Grading system (EGS) was employed in 2001. The portion of graded shell eggs has increased every year, but graded shell eggs account for only 6% of all eggs. The EGS should satisfy producers, distributors and consumers. However, the EGS does not have an official function because of many problems. Consumers cannot select various graded shell eggs in the market, and producers do not receive enough profit even though they produce top-quality graded shell eggs. There are few studies on the EGS, Therefore, this study was performed to improve the EGS. We surveyed the EGS, GP Centers and farmers. Large companies (farmers) are more satisfied than small companies with the EGS. There was a high tendency for the companies (farmers) that are not involved with the EGS to think that graded and ungraded shell eggs are similar, in contrast to the companies (farmers) connected to the EGS. We should have to change the grading system of grade shell eggs, establish of the cold chain system, change of the law for the school meals, minimize payment for the grading shell eggs for developing EGS. Based on this study, the egg industry can benefit through the improvement of the EGS.

Objectives : This study was to investigate the effectiveness of Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture therapy at Yepung($TE_{17}$) on peripheral facial paralysis. Methods : We investigated 36cases of patients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis, and devided patients into two groups : We treated one group by complex oriental medical treatment with Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture therapy at local point with Yepung(VY), and did the other group by complex oriental medical treatment with Bee Venom pharmacopuncture therapy at local point without Yepung(VL). To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment applied for two groups, we used Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann(HB score), Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System(Y score) at baseline and final. Results : 1. In VY and VL, compared with baseline, at final, HB score was significantly decreased and Y score was significantly increased. 2. At final, VY showed significant decrease on HB score and significant increase on Y score compared with VL. Conclusions : Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture therapy at Yepung can be available for relieving symptoms related with peripheral facial paralysis.

The grid-connected energy storage systems, which could increase the reliability, efficiency, and cleanliness of the grid is presently restricted by the high cost of batteries. This problems could be solved by batteries retired from automotive services. These batteries can provide a low-cost system for energy storage and other applications such as residential applications and renewable energy integration. This paper gives an overview of technical requirements for the re-use of the electric vehicle batteries in energy storage systems.Firstly, the motivation of research is introduced. Secondly, the technologies needed for the re-use of the battery are introduced such asidentification of the battery characteristics, grading of the aged batteries, identification of the state-of-charge and state-of-health of the battery and suitable power electronic converter topologies. In addition the control strategy to maximize the battery lifespan and bypass the faulty batteries is presented and one-stop solution to implement the above mentioned technologies are also given.

The fiber optical temperature sensing device was developed by using a Fiber Bragg Grading (FBG) sensor and a linear transmittance optical filter. The temperature change causes change in the FBG sensor reflectance wavelength and the reflectance wavelength from FBG sensor is transmitted to a linear transmittance filter so that the optical signal value is determined by the wavelength. The temperature can be measured by the optical signal value by passing FBG reflectance wavelength to the linear transmittance filter. Using the developed system, temperature ranges from $10^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ were measured and the measured data were almost linear.
