During the past decade, several specific hardwares for fast fuzzy inference have been developed. Most of them are dedicated to a specific inference method and thus cannot support other inference methods. In this paper, we present a hardware architecture called KAFA(KAist Fuzzy Accelerator) which provides various fuzzy inference methods and fuzzy set operators. The architecture has SIMD structure, which consists of two parts; system control/interface unit(Main Controller) and arithmetic units(FPEs). Using the parallel processing technology, the KAFA has the high performance for fuzzy information processing. The speed of the KAFA holds promise for the development of the new fuzzy application systems.

Korean Academy of Film Arts (KAFA) is the film school run by Korean Film Council (KOFIC). KAFA was established in 1984, benchmarking American Film Institute (AFA) and in order to foster manpower for Korean Movie under the US's pressure of domestic movie market opening in Korea. The Korean Movie market was open to the world by 1987 and suffered from the low Korean-produced movie market share of around 20% in the domestic market from 1987 to 1998. During the last 30 years, KAFA plays the key role in the Korean movie making industry. Of 520 of number of their alumni, the number of directors is 101, 33 of cinematographers, 18 of producers and 21 of professors in universities' film departments. Korean Directors, Bong Joon-ho of (2013) and topped over 10 million domestic admissions to become the most-watched Korean films of all time. Now, with KAFA's relocation to Busan following with KOFIC, their new roles are promotion of the film industry in Busan, recruiting and educating new talented Korean and foreign student filmmakers, becoming an international film school.

The 1st development of "Human Powered Aircraft(HPA)" in Korea has been conducting by KAFA(Korea Air Force Academy) from Aug. 2008 to now. HPA is an aircraft powered by directly human energy. The thrust provided by the human power may be the only source and that is weak. Therefore, light weight and strong structure is first requirement. In this paper, treating a basic conceptual design of HPA and material property and material choice for HPA. Also analysing the structure and checking the safety of HPA.

This study aims to investigate and analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the adopt electronic services in education sector in Jordan, where the COVID-19 pandemic has left huge threats in terms of health and led to a significant decrease in economic output and a rise in unemployment. This study also aims to know the steps taken by the Jordanian governments and higher education ministry and universities to overcome this crisis and mitigate the economic and financial impacts that would enhance the resilience of the education sector. To achieve the goal of the study, both methods of deductive and inductive analysis were used, which helped us to systematically consider the economic and other consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as statistical analyses and other tools that helped us in this study. The results of this study, showed that the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant increase in adopt electronic services in education sector in Jordan, and decline in economic growth, a significant rise in unemployment, an increase in market instability, and a decrease in the financial position of companies. The recommendations concluded that Jordan should begin to change its policies according to the new data, and take Measures to advance the education sector by relay on electronic services and directing investment in education sector through saving policies and infrastructure equipment in parallel with the population boom in Jordan.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of combined training (aerobic/anaerobic training and space perception training) on changes in body composition (weight, % body fat, % muscle mass, BMI, WHR) and cardiorespiratory fitness according to the ACE gene polymorphism (II: 7 men, ID: 8 men, DD: 6 men) in 21 senior Korea Air Force Academy cadets. The results of this study were as follows: body composition factors among ACE gene polymorphism groups and between pre-/post-training in all groups were not statistically significant. Cardiorespiratory fitness of the II and ID groups was significantly lower after training (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between pre-/post-training in the DD. In conclusion, this study suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness response to compound training may be affected by ACE genotypes.

A new off-surface visualization method of using the micro water droplet and laser beam sheet was presented. About a size of 5 to TEX>$10\mu\textrm{m}$ micro water droplet could be made from home-style ultrasonic humidifier, A 3 W Argon ion laser and cylindrical lens were used to generate a laser beam sheet, which interrogate specific cross section of the vortical flow field. Application of this new visualization method was conducted in KAFA small-sized low speed wind tunnel of having the test section of 0TEX>$0.9 m(W){\times}$0.9 m(H){\times}2.1 m(L)$$$. Visualization results show this method relatively easy and safe flow visualization method for wind tunnel testing. Moreover, this method is also make up for the disadvantage of smoke visualization, and can be applied to higher flow velocity range than that of smoke visualization.

This research represents comparison and validation of static aerodynamic results in different wind tunnel organizations and EFD-CFD results. KAFA conducted wind tunnel tests with Standard Dynamics Model(SDM) which is based on the NRC model, the same configuration of KARI; and then compared and analyzed similarities and differences of the data from KARI and NRC results for verifying the accuracy of wind tunnel tests. Also, We compared the result of CFD with that of wind tunnel tests and examined strakes effect in static characteristics which are attached on the forward fuselage of SDM for investigating the cause of some discrepancies. From this analysis, there are some discrepancies in Cm tendency between EFD-CFD and it did not show the big difference of aerodynamic characteristics by strake effects. Thus, we need to research additionally for analyzing the different cause of some discrepancies such as vortex structures by the rear strut or intake of SDM and regenerating grid resolution of CFD.

The physical fitness of the cadets of the Air Force Academy, which will protect the airspace of the Republic of Korea, is of paramount importance to fulfill the given mission. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to confirm the characteristics of body composition and physical fitness of female cadets of Air Force Academy and to verify their relationship with physical fitness according to body fat % level of total female cadets. To achieve the purpose of the study, 50 female cadets of the Korea Air Force Academy (1grade 13, 2grade 18, 3grade 9, 4grade 10) were measured in body composition (skeletal strength, body fat mass, body mass index, body fat %, abdominal obesity rate, basal metabolic rate) and physical fitness (muscle strength, muscular endurance, power, agility, flexibility and balance). One way ANOVA was performed for data processing to identify body composition and physical fitness characteristics by grade and to identify differences in physical fitness according to body fat rate levels. According to the study, the 1 grade was lower in body fat mass and body fat % among female cadets, the 2 grade was lower than the 3 and 4 grades, and the body mass index was lower than the third and fourth grades. Also, there was no difference in the physical fitness of the rest of the year. The intergroup physical fitness according to the body fat rate was higher than that of those with less than 20 percent of net worth and 25 percent to less than 25.1 percent to 30 percent, while those with less than 20 percent balance were higher than those with less than 25.1 to 30 percent. The results of this study showed differences in body composition by grade in female cadets, especially in power and balance according to body fat %. Therefore, female cadets of the Air Force Academy need to manage body fat to have the power and balance capability related to the airborne mission environment.
