Now, the goal of the third generation KTX project is to create a new species of high speed train in order to open a new era of high speed railway system in history by authentic Korean technology and innovative design. Now the third generation KTX, must go beyond the original stagnant paradigm and be positioned as an emotional resource which is creating a shift in the public's perspective of transportation and expanding the idea that transportation intersects the two distinct realms of culture and environment as well. In addition, the overall design should reflect the Korean culture and characteristics, simple yet resonant, both the interior space and the exterior fuselage should portray the dynamic heritage of Korea such as the powerful yet subdued energy of Jung Joong Dong. In short, through the symbolic in Korean, Dong(Dynamics), Mek(Pulse), Ryu(Flow), Gam(Sensibility), the third generation KTX design project aims to create an new identity of Korean high speed railway which can stand globally.

In many countries, methods to evaluate buildings have been investigated and practiced in order to reduce energy use and search for sustainable architecture while providing comfortable space for the users, in Korea, the current certification system has a short history, and has been improved for better practicability. Among many different factors in the certification system, the water resource problem is an important as the demand has been sharply increasing while reckless use and sewage treatment system causes the reduction of usable water. This study aims to find problems of water usage in building. water resource in the current certification will be used for the analysis of each factor in water resource, and the direction of improvement required in the certification in order to improve the water usage in buildigns will be proposed.

In recent years, micro-grid has been widely focused on the fields of renewal energy systems. This paper proposes a novel robust power converter control against arbitrary electric load changes for islanded micro-grid topology. First, we provide a state-space representation of our micro-grid model including power converter and electric load circuit. And then a state feedback control method is applied to construct a nominal control framework. Next, we propose a robust adaptive control law to enhance a control performance against unexpected load perturbation. In addition, we analytically investigate a passivity property for the micro-grid model and carry out computer simulation to demonstrate superiority and reliability of the proposed control methodology.

The emergency power supplies (EPSs) are required to increase battery sizing for protecting power source loss above designed criteria. This study proposes a sizing method for lithium-based batteries for EPSs in nuclear power plants on the basis of the calculation method for the required energy under variable conditions. The variable conditions are related with the characteristics of lithium-based batteries, such as the temperature of the location of EPS installation, aging, and design margin. The usage of lithium-based battery reduces the cost and installation space and enables the safe and long-term supply of power compared with the use of lead-acid battery.

Recently, temporal variations of the 3-micron emissions of methane and ethane have been detected in the auroral regions of Jupiter observed from Gemini North (Kim et al. 2019, in preparation). These temporal variations of 3-micron hydrocarbon emissions in the auroral regions can be caused by the following phenomena: temporal variations of temperatures, mixing ratios, auroral particle bombardments and Joule heatings, and the combinations of these. Although we are not able to quantitatively determine the cause of the temporal variations at this moment, we will present the following quantitative discussions: thermal influences on the 3-micron emissions, global mixing ratio distributions of the hydrocarbon molecules, and energy distributions of auroral particles penetrating the hydrocarbon layers. We will also present a possible correlation between the temporal variations of the 3-micron emissions and solar wind activities.

A Korean VLBI Network $1^{st}$ generation key science program, the Interferometric Monitoring of Gamma-ray Bright AGNs (iMOGABA) program has revealed various natures of gamma-ray flares in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Here in this presentation, we would like to introduce a new candidate of KVN $2^{nd}$ generation key science program, so called, the AiMOGABA (Astrometric iMOGABA), aiming at studying a wondering radio core effect of relativistic jets from AGNs with high resolution VLBI astrometric monitoring of high-energy bursting AGNs with KVN as well as a Australian millimeter radio telescope MOPRA. The introduction will include the current scientific highlights of the iMOGABA, and the overview of the AiMOGABA.

Star formation activity of galaxies, along with color and morphology, show significant environmental dependence in local universe, where galaxies in dense environment tend to be more quiescent and redder. However, many studies show that such environmental dependence does not continue at higher redshifts beyond z~1. The question of how the environmental dependence of galactic properties have developed over time is crucial to understanding cosmic galactic evolution. By combining data from Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey(CFHTLS), Infrared Medium-Deep Survey(IMS), and other surveys, the photometric redshifts of galaxies in CFHTLS W2 field were estimated by fitting spectral energy distribution. The distribution of galaxies was mapped in redshift bins of 0.05 interval from 0.6 to 1.4. For each redshift bin, the number density was mapped. The galaxies in high density regions were grouped into clusters using friend-of-friend method. The color of galaxies were analyzed to study the correlation with redshift as well as environmental difference between field galaxies and cluster member galaxies.

As part of recent low-energy policies, thermal insulation standards for buildings are being tightened every year. In addition, the conventional styrofoam insulating material has a problem that the thickness of the heat insulating material to achieve a standard heat permeability is rapidly increased. Due to the thick insulation, there is a high risk of spreading vulnerable structures such as fire due to lack of space between buildings. On the other hand, the method of using the insulation as a formwork is known to be excellent cost saving effect through the reduction of the formwork usage and the simplification of the external insulation work. In order to solve this problem, this study aims to fabricate a multi-layered insulator that combines high-performance phenolic foam insulation and styrofoam insulation and evaluate the deflection characteristics for use as formwork.

Ultra-compact electric vehicles have narrow space for power conversion devices. This work presents schemes to achieve the high-power density of a low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC): simplifying a converter structure by using sync-buck topology, applying a planar inductor using PCB winding, and applying a plate-type heat sink. The heat sink is placed between two PCBs, which increases the contact surface between the PCB and the heat-dissipating device. It enables the miniaturization of the converter to improve the conditions of heat radiation. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through the experiment using a 500 W(12 V, 41.67 A) prototype with an input voltage range from 58 V to 84 V.

The crystal and molecular structure of thiourea dioxide, (NH2)2CSO2, was determined by x-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. Lattice constants are a=10.669(2), b=10.119(2), and c=3.9151(5) Å with the space group Pnma and Z=4. The thiourea portion of the molecule has a planar conformation. When the two oxygen atoms are included, the sulfur atom is at the apex of a trigonal pyramid formed with the two oxygen atoms and the carbon atom as the base. The crystal structure is stabilized by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Ab initio calculations were performed to investigate the bonding features and reactivity of thiourea dioxide. The calculated bond order of S-C is only 0.481. The hydrogen bond energy was computed to be 22.3 kcal/mol for dimer. MEP analysis reveals that the sites on nucleophilic reactions are S and C atoms.
