There is a trend toward the world's manufacturing sites moving to East Asia. After manufacture, these products are transported to the advanced nations for their consumption demands. Among such advanced nations, the U.S.A. has the largest demand, and then Japan and European countries follow. It should be noted that the infrastructures of the Asian districts used for the production sites are rather limited, and the volume of products transported from these districts of Asia to the U.S.A is becoming tremendously large. This situation is causing very serious traffic problems. New products are required to be transported swiftly by air. Once the consumption and market demands are stable however, the products should be sent rather slowly, but in larger amounts. However, the airports of China are quite restricted in capacity, while the transportation volume is becoming large. As a result, transportation cost and the time required for transportation are increasing. Now, a third method is appearing. This is the so-called Sea and Air transportation. The cost and time in transit of this mode take mean positions between Air and Ocean services. At present there exists no well-thought-out strategy for how to allocate these three methods of transportation. This paper is an attempt to theoretically describe this mechanism and to discover the optimal way to allocate the three modes. For this purpose, several mathematical properties of value and cost of the products are defined, and on this basis a simulation of the transportation is established.

After conducting a hydrogen bomb test and launching an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in 2017, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea, D.P.R.K.) declared the completion of its national nuclear capabilities. Currently, North Korea is refusing all nuclear inspections, but the possibility of nuclear inspections and the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula still exists. The Republic of Korea (South Korea, Rep. of Korea) has numerous reasons as a neighboring country to participate in North Korea's nuclear inspections and denuclearization, including technological capabilities, geographical proximity, and linguistic benefits. This study assumes nuclear inspections and verification within North Korea and aims to propose scenarios for the transportation and operation of personnel and equipment. The data and results compiled through this research are anticipated to serve as foundational information for future inspections and verifications on the Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, it is assessed that they could contribute to the development of strategies in preparation for participation in denuclearization efforts.

At the present day, the use of containers crisscrossing seven seas and intercontinental transport has significantly increased and bringing the change on the shape of the world economy which we cannot be neglected. Additionally, with the recent technological advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies, has providing an economically feasible monitoring solution to diverse application that allow us to envision the intelligent containers represent the next evolutionary development step in order to increase the efficiency, productivity, utilities, security and safe of containerized cargo shipping. This paper we present a comprehensive containerized cargo monitoring system which has adaptively embedded WSN technology into cargo logistic technology. We share the basic requirement for an autonomous logistic network that could provide optimum performance and a suite of algorithms for self-organization and bi-directional communication of a scalable large number of sensor node apply on container regardless inland and maritime transportation.

Diseases caused by begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) constitute a serious constraint to tropical and sub-tropical agro-ecosystems worldwide. In recent years, they have also introduced in temperate regions of the world where they have great impact and are posing a serious threat to a variety of greenhouse crops. Begomoviral diseases can in extreme cases reduce yields to zero leading to catastrophic losses in agriculture. They are still evolving and pose a serious threat to sustainable agriculture across the world, particularly in tropics and sub-tropics. Till recently, there have been no records on the occurrence of begomoviral disease in South Korea, however, the etiology of other plant viral diseases are known since last century. The first begomovirus infected sample was collected from sweet potato plant in 2003 and since then there has been gradual increase in the begomoviral epidemics specially in tomato and sweet potato crops. So far, 48 begomovirus sequences originating from various plant species have been submitted in public sequence data base from different parts of the country. The rapid emergence of begomoviral epidemics might be with some of the factors like evolution of new variants of the viruses, appearance of efficient vectors, changing cropping systems, introduction of susceptible plant varieties, increase in global trade in agricultural products, intercontinental transportation networks, and changes in global climatic conditions. Another concern might be the emergence of a begomovirus complex and satellite DNA molecules. Thorough understanding of the pathosystems is needed for the designing of effective managements. Efforts should also be made towards the integration of the resistant genes for the development of transgenic plants specially tomato and sweet potato as they have been found to be widely infected in South Korea. There should be efficient surveillance for emergence or incursions of other begomoviruses and biotypes of whitefly. This review discusses the general characteristics of begomoviruses, transmission by their vector B. tabaci with an especial emphasis on the occurrence and distribution of begomoviruses in South Korea, and control measures that must be addressed in order to develop more sustainable management strategies.

WTO출범 이후 저에너지 소모, 저공해, 무공해 등의 환경친화적 운송수단의 발달이 요구됨과 동시에 세계적으로 고속전철기술의 지속적 발전과 시장 확대가 전망됨에 따라 프랑스, 독일, 일본 등과 같은 철도선진국들은 철도기술 개발에 막대한 기술 투자비를 투입하여 기술 우위를 유지하기 위해 노력을 경주하고 있다. 이러한 기술환경 변화에 적극적으로 대응함과 동시에 좁은 국토에서 도로정체에 의한 물류비 증가와 환경오염, 국민생활의 불편 등으로 인한 사회ㆍ경제적 손실을 최대한 억제하고, 국가경쟁력 제고와 환경친화적인 철도 발전을 이끌기 위해 고속전철기술에 대한 독자적 개발 능력은 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이와 같은 요구에 의해 1996년부터 2002년까지 6년간 수행된 G7 고속전철기술개발사업은 350km/h급 고속전철의 독자적인 설계, 엔지니어링 및 제작 능력을 배양하고, 2000년대 차세대 한국형 고속전철을 실현하기 위한 연구개발 프로그램이다. 본 고에서는 G7 고속전철기술개발사업에서 수행된 연구내용 중 차량시스템 엔지니어링기술개발과제의 디자인부문 개발 성과를 요약 소개하였다. 철도선진국에서는 차량설계 초창기부터 디자인 측면의 검토가 매우 활발히 이루어지고 있는 반면, 국내 철도차량개발에 있어 디자인 측면의 검토는 미비하고 소홀히 다루어지고 있는 것이 현실이었다. 하지만 본 사업에서는 차량개념설계 단계부터 디자인전문가들의 적극적인 참여를 통해 국내 철도차량디자인 개발의 새로운 전기를 마련하였을 뿐만 아니라 새로운 차량디자인의 수요에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 기반을 구축하였다. 한국형 고속전철시스템의 디자인 컨셉은 한국의 자연조건과 기술환경에 적합한 보다 빠르고, 보다 쾌적하고, 보다 조용한 한국 고유형 고속전철과 그 여행문화를 이루어내는 것이다. 고속전철의 한국 고유성이란 주로 승객의 고속전철여행을 통해서 인식되어지는 것이다. 따라서 우선적으로 한국의 행동양식과 생활문화를 고려한 일반 객실의 단면개념을 기준으로 공기역학적으로 유리한 단면 외형 형상을 구현하는 한편, 터널 개활지 주행 최적화를 위한 전두부 공력형상 구현, 차체 단면적 축소와 곡선화를 통한 공력저항 최소화, 인간공학적 실내 설계 및 부속실의 편의성 도모, 외관통합 색채디자인 등을 통해 한국 고유형 고속전철 차량 디자인을 개발하였다.
