The Changing Characteristics of Office Location in Central Seoul In recent years, central Seoul has been experiencing a dynamic transformation. In the process of reorganization of urban industrial structure including tertiarization and quaternarization of the economic base of Seoul, business services are growing very rapidly and large scale urban renewal projects are agilely implemented. Downtown office activities become a nucleus for economic performance of Seoul and high-rise office buildings steer the landscape transformation of central Seoul. Even though there appear to exist some evidences that office districts have dispersed to several subcenters, major office activities are still concentrated in the central Seoul. This paper redefines office industry in a narrow meaning comprising only relevant economic sectors and office buildings as office activity-functioning units. It then explores the industrial networking and territorial specialization of office activities focusing on the dual process of concentration and dispersion in Seoul. The changing characteristics of the downtown linkages of office activities in this post-industrial era transforms the spatial economy of central Seoul into more flexible and volatile, while territorial concentration of power and control functions are fortified at the same time. Finally, the paper addresses the development of manufacturing-tertiary-quaternary industrial complex, which can be regarded as new industrial clusters, selling cultural economy of urban space and possessing placeness or images for clients and customers, in relation to urban competitiveness and territorial specialization of large metropolitan areas.

In the recent years, thin film solar cells (TFSCs) have emerged as a viable replacement for crystalline silicon solar cells and offer a variety of choices, particularly in terms of synthesis processes and substrates (rigid or flexible, metal or insulator). Among the thin-film absorber materials, SnS has great potential for the manufacturing of low-cost TFSCs due to its suitable optical and electrical properties, non-toxic nature, and earth abundancy. However, the efficiency of SnS-based solar cells is found to be in the range of 1 ~ 4 % and remains far below those of CdTe-, CIGS-, and CZTSSe-based TFSCs. Aside from the improvement in the physical properties of absorber layer, enormous efforts have been focused on the development of suitable buffer layer for SnS-based solar cells. Herein, we investigate the device performance of SnS-based TFSCs by introducing double buffer layers, in which CdS is applied as first buffer layer and ZnMgO films is employed as second buffer layer. The effect of the composition ratio (Mg/(Mg+Zn)) of RF sputtered ZnMgO films on the device performance is studied. The structural and optical properties of ZnMgO films with various Mg/(Mg+Zn) ratios are also analyzed systemically. The fabricated SnS-based TFSCs with device structure of SLG/Mo/SnS/CdS/ZnMgO/AZO/Al exhibit a highest cell efficiency of 1.84 % along with open-circuit voltage of 0.302 V, short-circuit current density of 13.55 mA cm^-2, and fill factor of 0.45 with an optimum Mg/(Mg + Zn) ratio of 0.02.

HwaSeong (Suwon Fortress) was built during the reign of King Jeong-jo in the Choseon Dynasty. Detailed information on the construction of HwaSeong can be found in Hwaseong Seongyeok Euigui. In this sense, it is necessary to perform a comparative analysis on the Hwaseong Seongyeok Euigui based on construction management factors. This paper aims to analyze the HwaSeong construction project from a modern construction perspective by comparing and reviewing information related to the procurement of construction materials of the time. For this, wooden and steel materials and tiles were analyzed by supply area, supply channel, type and price. From the results of the analysis, it is found that the government used both private and official channels to supply materials. In particular, except for wooden materials that could be supplied from Bongsan, the supply of materials showed a high dependency on private channels. In terms of steel, it was almost 30 percent cheaper through private channels than when purchased through the official channel. Finally, materials vulnerable to damage like tiles were manufactured from the areas near the construction site. From this fact it can be interpreted that the government had a flexible procurement system, including manufacturing on the spot and external suppliers,depending on the property of the material. It is expected these analytical results will serve as key data to understand the management factors in constructing HwaSeong.

The Personal Rapid Transit(PRT) system has been highly interested in future transportation developments due to its on-demand and optimized door-to-door transport capability. However, the major impediments to the commercialization of PRT are the high cost for construction of infrastructures as opposed to the small transport capacity and difficulty in defining the role of PRT in building a balanced transportation system. In this study, the vertical transfer device for the PRT vehicle is developed to provide more flexible and better compatible urban mobility services between means of transportation, which is expected to meet particular demands in a particular environment. This apparatus was initially designed based on the basis of vertical circulating conveyors with steel chains, which is frequently used in logistics. Its advantages are capable of the non-stop loading and reduced head-way time. Most importantly, it was intensified by the additional idea to ensure the stable and reliable transfer of the PRT vehicle fully loaded with passengers. The 1/10-scale prototype was successfully tested to demonstrate a fundamental mechanism of vertical transfer and identify unexpected user requirements prior to a real manufacturing process.

Di-(ethyhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), commonly used as a plasticizer for manufacturing flexible vinyl products, has been the topic of extensive research, especially concerning endocrine disrupting properties. Metallothionein (MT) is a low molecular weight (6,000$\sim$7,000 Da), cysteine-rich (22$\sim$23%), metal-binding protein and is known to be induced by extrinsic factors such as chemical agents and stresses. Some of the known function of MT include detoxification of heavy metals and alkylating agents and neutralization of free radicals. Nonetheless, the definitive physiological function of MT are still unknown. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of DEHP on the ultrastructural changes and the expression of MT of the rat liver. The rats were orally intubated with either corn oil (experimental control) or 0.5 mg, 1.5 mg and 4.5 mg DEHP kg$^{-1}$ day$^{-1}$ in 0.5 mL of corn oil for 15 days before sacrificing and sampling. DEHP induced mild ultrastrctural changes of some cell organelles such as rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes and peroxisomes in the rat liver treated with DEHP. In the respect of immunogold labelling and Western blotting, MT expression of the liver tissue was up-regulated by DEHP. In conclusion, DEHP has effects on the ultrastructures and hepatic function for MT expression in rat.

최근, 시장환경 및 생산구조의 변화에 따라 이른바 첨단생산기술(advanced manufacturing technologies)의 개발과 활용이 산업계 및 학계의 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 그러나 첨단생산기술의 급속한 기술적 발전과 전략적 가치의 증가에도 불구하고 산업에의 확산은 상대적으로 부진한 현실이다. 이러한 현상은 물론 초기 투자의 재원도달 문제에 기인한다고 말할 수 있지만 일차적으로는 적절한 대안을 선정하고 투자의 정당성을 분석하는 방법론의 미비도 그 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 고는 전통적(conventional) 생산기술과 비교한 첨단생산기술과 비교한 첨단생산기술의 특성에 대한 이해를 기초로, 새로운 기술대안들을 비교 분석하는 구체적인 기법의 개발에 관한 접근의 방향성과 개념의 틀(framework)을 제시하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 첨단생산기술의 대안선정과 정당성분석은 다음과 몇 가지 특성을 지니고 있다. 첫째, 투자대안의 속성이 다양하며(multi-attribute) 각각의 속성이 상위 적(conflicting)일 수 있다. 둘째, 기술대안들의 잠재적 기능이 생산체제의 신축성과 유연성(flexible)의 제고를 강조하고 있다. 셋째, 개별기술의 통합을 통해 시스템 전체의 상승효과(synergy effect)를 추구하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 특성에 대한 인식을 토대로 정량적이고 전략적인 장·단점에 대한 고려를 포함하는 종합적이고 객관적인 분석의 틀과 기법이 사용되지 않으면 첨단생산기술의 성공적인 도입과 활용은 기대하기 어려운 것이다. 새로운 생산기술의 도입이 공정의 부분적 개선을 위한 소규모 투자일 경우에는 경제성의 분석을 위해서는 전통적인 재무관리(capital budgeting) 기법들이 이용될 수 있고 직접적인 공정개선의 효과분석을 위해서는 시뮬레이션을 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 기술대안의 규모가 크고 따라서 그 파급효과가 전체공정으로 확산되는 대규모 사업일 경우에는 다양한 장·단점들을 고려하는 종합적인 접근의 틀이 필요하게 된다. 이러한 방법들을 크게 세 가지 형태로 나누어 보면 (1) 모든 대안들에 대해, 모든 요소들에 관한 비교분석을 동시에 실시하는 동시적 접근(simultaneous approach), (2) 대안 또는 요소들을 그 성격에 따라 계층적 구조로 분할하고 단계별로 비교분석을 실시하는 계층적 접근(hierarchical approach), (3) 요소들을 속성에 따라 몇 개의 소그룹으로 나누고 각 그룹에 대해 순차적으로 대안들을 비교분석 함으로써 고려대상이 되는 대안들을 줄여나가는 순차적 접근(sequtial approach)등을 들 수 있다 이러한 접근법들의 장·단점들을 사업의 규모나 복잡성에 따라 달라지게 된다. 또한 동일한 접근방법 내에서도 구체적인 기법의 선택과 개발도 문제의 특성에 따라 달리 결정되어야 한다. 그러나 어떠한 경우에도 오늘날의 첨단생산기술에의 투자는 현금의 흐름에 대한 계량적 분석에만 의존하는 전통적인 기법만으로는 불충분하며 기업목표와 생산조직 전반에 관한 전략적 요소들을 포함하는 종합적인 접근이 바람직하다.

Polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) are expected to be commercialized as next generation displays by advantages of the fast response time, low driving voltage and easy manufacturing process for large sized flexible display. Generally, the electrical and optical properties of PLEDs are affected by the surface conditions of transparent electrode. The PLED devices with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al structures were prepared by using the spin coating method. For this, PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)) Al 4083 and PVK(N-vinylcabozole) were used as hole injection and transport layers. The PFO-poss(poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)) was used as the emitting layer. The dependence of $O_2$ plasma treatment of ITO electrode on the electrical and optical properties of PLEDs were investigated. The sheet resistances increased slightly with an improved surface roughness of ITO electrode as the RF power increased during $O_2$ plasma treatment. The PLED devices prepared on the ITO/Glass substrates, which were plasma-treated at 40 watt in RF power for 30 seconds under 40 mtorr $O_2$ pressure, showed the maximum external emission efficiency of 0.86 lm/W and the maximum luminance of $250\;cd/m^2$, respectively. The CIE color coordinates are ranged $X\;=\;0.13{\sim}0.18$ and $Y\;=\;0.10{\sim}0.16$, showing blue color. emission.

This paper presents to study the sensor fusion of positioning sensors using UKF(unscented Kalman filter) for positioning accuracy improvement of AGV(automatic guided vehicle). The major guidance systems for AGV are wired guidance and magnetic guidance system. Because they have high accuracy and fast response time, they are used in most of the FMS(flexible manufacturing system). However, they had weaknesses that are high maintenance cost and difficult of existing path modification. they are being changed to the laser navigation in recent years because of those problems. The laser navigation is global positioning sensor using reflecters on the wall, and it have high accuracy and easy to modify the path. However, its response time is slow and it is influenced easily by disturbance. In this paper, we propose the sensor fusion method of the laser navigation and local sensors using UKF. The proposed method is improvement method of accuracy through error analysis of sensors. For experiments, we used the axle-driven forklift AGV and compared the positioning results of the proposed method with positioning results of the laser navigation. In experimental result, we verified that the proposed method can improve positioning accuracy about 16%.

As a forming method for curved hull plates more efficient than the flame bending, mechanical bending using multi point press forming and die-less forming is discussed in this paper. the mechanical forming is a flexible manufacturing system for automatically forming of hull parts. It is especially suited to varied curved parts. This paper discusses a multiple point pressing machine composed of a pair of reconfigurable punches in order to achieve the rapid forming of curved hull plates using division forming and presents how forming information is obtained from the given design surface. Although the mechanical forming can be efficient in the metal forming, spring back after pressing is a phenomenon which must be carefully considered when quantifying the process variables. If the spring back is not accurately controlled, the fabricated shell plate cannot meet assembly tolerance. This paper describes the principles to calculate the proper stroke of each punch at the divided areas. the strokes are determined by an iterative process of sequential pressing and spring back compensation from an unfolded flat shape to its given design surface. FEA(finite element analysis) is used to simulate the spring back of the plate and the IDA(iterative displacement adjustment) method adjusts the offset of pressing punches from the deformation results and the design surface. The shape deviations of two surfaces due to spring back are compensated by integrated system using FEA and IDA method. For the practical application, It is aimed to develop an integrated system that can automatically perform the compensation process and calculate strokes of punches of the double sides' reconfigurable multiple-press machine and some experimental results obtained with mechanical bending are presented.

The purpose of this research seeks to analyze the spatial variations in the sex age structure which have been shown to exist within the study atrea, the Kyonggi province in Korea. In this study it is desired to use the Age Structure Index developed by Coulson in order to describe thi sex age structure of each of 186 tracts that comprise the tracted portion of the Kyonggi province. The mechanics of computing the Age Structure Index are found in the equation describing a linear least squares trend line: y=a+bx. For each census tract, the percentage of the population in each age group(y) was plotted against the middle age of each age group(x). The a is a constant representing the value of y, when x equals zero. The b is the regression coefficient and is a measure of the angle of the slope of the least squares trend line. Thus the value of b is the Age Structure Index for each census tract. The major results of this investigation can be summarized as follows: The spatial distributions of sex age structures in the Kyonggi province are far from random. They have exhibited great regularity with the yonger sex age structures near Seoul and a sharp decline to the older sex age structures out in all derections towards rural region. The results of this investigation should have important general significance for the study of the Kyonggi province Age Structure Index is a flexible, operational definition shich allows sex age structure to be measured, mapped, and incorporated in a wide variety of methods of statistical analysis. Futurer, it has been demonstrated that sex age structure varies spatially within Seoul metropolitan finge and that this variation is relagfed to many other attributes of the population. Especially, Age Structure Index is strongly related to the variables-rate of population growth rate. density, rate of numbers of manufacturing, land price. At the same time, considerably more research is needed before a genmeral body of knowlege concerning sex age structure can be developed.
