Electric vehicles (EVs) have been growing to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. The increasing number of EVs requires adequate recharging infrastructure, and at the same time, adopts low- or zero-emission electricity production because the GHG emissions are highly dependent on primary sources of electricity production. Although previous research has studied solar photovoltaic (PV) -integrated EV charging stations, it is challenging to optimize spatial areas between where the charging stations are required and where the renewable energy sources (i.e., solar photovoltaic (PV)) are accessible. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to support decisions of siting EV charging stations using a spatial data clustering method integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS). This research explores spatial relationships of PV power outputs (i.e., supply) and traffic flow (i.e., demand) and tests a community in the state of Indiana, USA for optimal sitting of EV charging stations. Under the assumption that EV charging stations should be placed where the potential electricity production and traffic flow are high to match supply and demand, this research identified three areas for installing EV charging stations powered by rooftop PV in the study area. The proposed strategies will drive the transition of existing energy infrastructure into decentralized power systems. This research will ultimately contribute to enhancing economic efficiency and environmental sustainability by enabling significant reductions in electricity distribution loss and GHG emissions driven by transportation energy.

This article presents the crucial role played by the French underground research laboratory (URL) in initiating the deep geological repository project Cigéo. In January 2023, Andra finalized the license application for the initial construction of Cigéo. Depending on Government's decision, the construction of Cigéo may be authorized around 2027. Cigéo is the result of a National program, launched in 1991, aiming to safely manage high-level and intermediate level long-lived radioactive wastes. This National program is based on four principles: 1) excellent science and technical knowledge, 2) safety and security as primary goals for waste management, 3) high requirements for environment protection, 4) transparent and open-public exchanges preceding the democratic decisions and orientations by the Parliament. The research and development (R&D) activities carried out in the URL supported the design and the safety demonstration of the Cigéo project. Moreover, running the URL has provided an opportunity to gain practical experience with regard to the security of underground operations, assessment of environmental impacts, and involvement of the public in the preparation of decisions. The practices implemented have helped gradually build confidence in the Cigéo project.

Commercial deployment of nuclear microreactors presents an opportunity for the industry to rethink its approach to manufacturing, siting, operation and maintenance, and fuel cycle management as certain principles used in grid-scale nuclear projects are not applicable to a decentralized microreactor economy. The success of this nascent industry is dependent on its ability to reduce infrastructure, logistical, regulatory and lifecycle costs. A utility-like 'Central Facility' that consolidates the services required and responsibilities borne by vendors into one or a few centralized locations will be necessary to support the deployment of a fleet of microreactors. This paper discusses the requirements for a Central Facility, its implications on the cost structures of owners and suppliers of microreactors, and the impact of the facility for the broader microreactor industry. In addition, this paper discusses the pre-requisites for eligibility as well as the opportunities for a Central Facility host site. While there are many suitable locations for such a capability across the U.S., this paper considers a facility co-located with the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant and Savannah River Sites to illustrate how a Central Facility can leverage the existing infrastructure and stimulate a local ecosystem.

A purpose of this study is to comprehend a concept of 'Open Space', realization of a deconstruction, presented in his works, based on a deconstruction and surrealism Coop Himmelblau's philosophical contemplation and to look into how this concept is interpreted in spaces. A concept of 'Open Space' is functioned as not a singular meaning but a multiple meaning accompanied with other formative ingredient and contemplation, scientific paradigm and a realation with a surroundings. The concept of 'Open Space' in their architentural space is applied. First, the space openness that represents to the extreme a concept 'Open Space', as a 3D designing ways that demolishes a structure and outgrows an ex siting thinking pattern, represents multiple grade spaces and an anti-gravity space. In a material, using glass and iron provides a spacial transparency and through this, visibly liberal sense that an interior and exterior is felt as an unification. Second, an non-expressive box pattern repulses to a spatial rank nature, outgrowing an uniform geometrical system, through demolishing a geometrical system, an edge and fold pattern. This is, as an anti-gravity, dynamic a typical structure, outgrowing an orthogonal system, interpreted as a composite meaning without division in spatial area. Third, the collage is used to represent a complexity and pluralism in representing 'Open space'. The collage that forms a image through combining a fragmentary elements into being a space change, composite constitution and spatial amusement. Thus, It is worthwhile to study how the collage that forms a diverse shape will be developed making what impact as an age and surroundings changed. As we contemplate in former part, Coop Himmelblou has deployed 'deconstruction beyond deconstruction' realm as just their midterm concept in their works like the words 'The architecture must climb', the deconstructive architect. A studying for their works reflecting the 'Open Space' concept based on deconstruction must be lasted and this enables us to comprehend space concept containing an architecture and interior design.

우리나라에서 전력 공급의 40％ 이상을 차지하는 원자력 발전의 중요성은 더 말할 나위가 없으나 방사성 폐기물 관리 시설의 운영 지연이 안정적인 원자력 발전에 저해 요소로 작용할 우려가 있다. 정부 당국의 정책적 배려, 방사성폐기물 관리 사업 주체의 노력, 관련 기술의 축적에도 불구하고 방사성 폐기물관리 사업은 가시적인 진전이 없는 상태이다. 그러므로 우리나라는 과거 어느 때보다도 더욱 효율적인 정책 기획과 집행으로 방사성폐기물을 관리해야 하는 시점에 처해 있다고 할 수가 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경에서 과거의 정책을 평가하고 미래를 위한 새로운 방사성폐기물 관리 정책을 모색한 결과 연구 개발. 부지 선정. 시설 건설. 운영, 폐쇄 후 감시에 이르는 전 과정에서 정책의 최우선 기조를 관리시설의 장기적인 안전성 확보에 두고, 안전 규제 기관의 참여 하에 공개적으로 입지를 추진해야 하며, 방사성폐기물 관리 사업과 이해 관계가 상충되지 아니하는 중립적인 위치의 공공법인체가 범국가적 차원에서 연구개발 조정 기능을 수행하여야 한다는 요지의 결론을 도출하였다.

해상풍력발전은 경관 및 소음 등의 문제 및 풍황자원 고갈로 인한 사업부지 확보가 어려운 육상풍력발전의 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 해상풍력은 해상에 풍력터빈을 세우기 때문에 경관 훼손이나 소음으로 인한 민원발생이 적고 상대적으로 풍황자원이 풍부하기 때문에 발전생산성이 높다. 그러나 육상풍력에 비해 해상풍력은 설치비가 높아 경제성이 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 높은 설치비는 해상작업에 필요한 대형장비의 대여기간과 높은 대여료에서 기인하는데, 본 논문에서는 대형 해상장비의 사용을 최소화하여 설치할 수 있는 해상풍력 지지구조의 개념설계를 수행하였다.

Distributed generations (DGs) using renewable energy resources in power systems have been widely integrated, and many of these DGs have intermittency. DGs can significantly affect the overall voltage profile of the system through the reactive power control for a voltage support. Therefore, in the planning stage of the optimal operation and dispatch of voltage regulation devices, DGs' hosting capacity with the reactive power control scheme should be considered. In this paper, we model the IEEE 34-bus test feeder, including all essential equipment. An optimization method is utilized to determine the optimal siting and operation of the voltage regulation devices in the presence of DGs with reactive power control scheme. Finally, we compare the optimal results of the each case to analyze the relationship among the hosting capacity of the DGs and voltage regulation devices operation.

전방향표지시설 (VOR : VHF Omni-directional Range)은 1949년 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)에서 국제 항공항법 표준시스템의 하나로 지정한 이후, 각국에서 항공로 구성과 항공기의 이착륙 정보제공에 널리 사용하고 있다. 현재 VOR은 우리나라의 39 대를 포함하여 전 세계적으로 2,000여대가 설치되어 있어 가장 유용하게 활용되고 있는 단거리 항공 항법시스템이나, VHF 반송파를 진폭 및 주파수변조하여 항법정보를 제공하기 때문에 산악지대 등 주변 장애물의 영향을 많이 받아 예상하지 못한 성능 미흡으로 이미 설치한 장비를 다시 옮기는데 따른 비용과 시간이 많이 허비되는 등 사회적인 문제를 야기하기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 원거리 장애물이 VOR의 성능에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는 지를 계측기 등을 장착한 항공기를 이용하여 10개 VOR의 24개 장애물에 대하여 측정 및 분석하고, 이를 VOR의 설치장소 결정에 활용할 수 있도록 하여 성능 미흡으로 설치된 장비를 이전하는 등의 문제점을 해소하는데 도움을 주고자 한다.

Head-out water immersion induces marked increase in the cardiac stroke volume. The present study was undertaken to characterize the stroke volume change by analyzing the aortic blood flow and left ventricular systolic time intervals. Ten men rested on a siting position in the air and in the water at $34.5^{circ}C$ for 30 min each. Their stroke volume, heart rate, ventricular systolic time intervals, and aortic blood flow indices were assessed by impedance cardiography. During immersion, the stroke volume increased 56%, with a slight (4%) decrease in heart rate, thus cardiac output increased ${\sim}50%.$ The slight increase in R-R interval was due to an equivalent increase in the systolic and diastolic time intervals. The ventricular ejection time was 20% increased, and this was mainly due to a decrease in pre-ejection period (28%). The mean arterial pressure increased 5 mmHg, indicating that the cardiac afterload was slightly elevated by immersion. The left ventricular end-diastolic volume index increased 24%, indicating that the cardiac preload was markedly elevated during immersion. The mean velocity and the indices of peak velocity and peak acceleration of aortic blood flow were all increased by ${\sim}30%,$ indicating that the left ventricular contractile force was enhanced by immersion. These results suggest that the increase in stroke volume during immersion is characterized by an increase in ventricular ejection time and aortic blood flow velocity, which may be primarily attributed to the increased cardiac preload and the muscle length-dependent increase in myocardial contractile force.
