  • Cost, schedule, and quality are the three major performance indicators for any construction project. Under the globalized competition in the nuclear industry, researchers and practitioners have also explored a systemized and integrated management system for cost, schedule, and quality. In order to address this issue, the concept of earned value management system (EVMS) has been often utilized. However, implementing EVMS for a mega-project of nuclear power plant (NPP) construction requires extensive overhead efforts. Though previous studies proposed structures and methods for effective NPP EVMS, there has been no legitimate study for data collection strategy for practical implementation. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to develop an effective data collection strategy for NPP EVMS. Firstly, the barriers to practical NPP EVMS were identified based on literature review and expert interviews. Strategies for data collection were then developed based on different phases of project life cycle. This study focuses on the 'life-cycle integrated progress management system' for NPP construction from an owner's perspective Therefore, results of this study can be used as a guide for preparing request for proposals (RFP) of an NPP owner organization.

  • In the IoT(IoT: Internet of Things) environment, network configuration is essential to collect data generated from objects. Various communication methods are used to process data of objects, and wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth and WiFi are mainly used. In order to collect data of objects, a communication module must be installed to collect data generated from sensors or edge devices in real time. And in order to deliver data to the database, a software architecture must be configured. Data generated from objects can be stored and managed in a database in real time, and data necessary for industrial safety can be extracted and utilized for industrial safety service applications. In this paper, a network environment was constructed using a LoRa(LoRa: Long Range) gateway to collect object data, and a client/server data collection model was designed to collect object data transmitted from the LoRa module. In order to secure the resources necessary for data collection and storage management without data leakage, data collection should be possible in real time. As an application service, location data required for industrial safety can be stored and managed in a database in real time.

  • Among various data types obtained from the ocean, the quality controls for abiotic data collected from chemical, physical, and geological field surveys haves already been partially established. Due to the difficulties in standardization of the data collections and basic analyses, however, the quality controls of biotic data are in its early stage. For marine fish, the necessity of quality control is more demanded due to the wide range of data usage, but there are currently no consistent quality control guidelines because of the diversity and scope of data types derived from species-specific and age-specific information throughout various habitats. In this paper, we provide examples of marine fish data utilization and also show methods of the marine fish data collection, limitations of the data collection methods, and suggestions for improving the marine fish data quality. We hope this paper will help to establish the direction of quality control for marine fish data from both fishery-dependent and fishery-independent surveys in Korea in the near future.

  • Objective: The hypothesis was that apparent ileal digestibility (AID), basal endogenous losses, and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) are not affected by adding acid to collection containers or bags used to collect ileal digesta from pigs. Methods: Twenty-four growing barrows (initial body weight: 77.8±4.5 kg) that were fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum were fed diets for three 7-d periods. An N-free diet and 3 diets containing corn, soybean meal, or wheat middlings as the sole source of AA were used. Within each period, each of the 4 diets were fed to 6 pigs. Among the 6 pigs, digesta from 3 pigs were collected in bags containing no HCl, whereas 40 mL of 3 N HCl was included in the bags used to collect digesta from the remaining 3 pigs. Every other bag collected from each pig was emptied into a container without adding HCl, whereas the remaining bags were added to a container along with 40 mL of 3 N HCl for each bag. All digesta were stored at -20℃ immediately after collection. Data were analyzed using a model that included feed ingredient, HCl in bags, HCl in containers, and all 2-way and 3-way interactions as fixed effects. No 3-way interactions were significant, and data were, therefore, reanalyzed independently for each diet as a 2×2 factorial. Results: There were no interactions between adding HCl to collection bags and to containers, and no effects of adding HCl to collection bags or containers for AID, basal endogenous losses, or SID of most AA were observed. Conclusion: It is not necessary to add acid to digesta collection bags or collection containers if ileal digesta are stored at -20℃ immediately after collection.

  • After the spread of the data collection devices such as smart meters, energy data is increasingly collected in a variety of ways, and its importance continues to grow. However, due to technical or practical limitations, errors such as missing or outliers in the data occur during data collection process. Especially in the case of customer-related data, billing problems may occur, so energy companies are conducting various research to process such data. In addition, efforts are being made to create added value from data, which makes it difficult to provide such services unless reliability of data is guaranteed. In order to solve these challenges, this research analyzes prior research related to bad data processing specifically in the energy field, and propose new missing value processing methods to improve the reliability and field utilization of energy data.

  • Recent advances in sensor and mobile technologies have made it possible to collect user location data. This location information is used as a valuable asset in various industries, resulting in increased demand for location data collection and sharing. However, because location data contains sensitive user information, indiscriminate collection can lead to privacy issues. Recently, geo-indistinguishability (Geo-I), a method of differential privacy, has been widely used to protect the privacy of location data. While Geo-I is powerful in effectively protecting users' locations, it poses a problem because the utility of the collected location data decreases due to data perturbation. Therefore, this paper proposes a method using Geo-I technology to effectively collect user location data while maintaining its data utility. The proposed method utilizes the prior distribution of users to improve the overall data utility, while protecting accurate location information. Experimental results using real data show that the proposed method significantly improves the usefulness of the collected data compared to existing methods.

  • The purpose of this study is to suggest the usability of collection evaluation methods for collection development policy in public libraries. To achieve this purpose, this study applied Bonn's Use Factor, Turnover Rate of Collection, and Trueswell's 80/20 Rule to actual circulation data of the Gwangjin District Public Library in Seoul during last ten years. This study added practical meanings and values in collection evaluation through the analysis of total holdings and subject classes. Main items of analysis are the rate of use to total holdings and to holdings in specific subject classes by year, and the rate of core collection circulation by year. The results show relations between the rate of use and library's performance through the analysis of the rate of use both total holdings and subject classes. The results also figure out user's patterns and library appraisal of community users through the analysis of circulation data. In addition, the analysis of core collection gives a good basis for an effective collection development policy.

  • The existing indoor localization method using Wi-Fi fingerprinting has a high collection cost and relatively low accuracy, thus requiring integrated correction of convergence with other technologies. This paper proposes a new method that significantly reduces collection costs compared to existing methods using Wi-Fi fingerprinting. Furthermore, it does not require labeling of data at collection and can estimate pedestrian travel paths even in large indoor spaces. The proposed pedestrian movement path estimation process is as follows. Data collection is accomplished by setting up a feature area near an indoor space intersection, moving through the set feature areas, and then collecting data without labels. The collected data are processed using Kernel Linear Discriminant Analysis (KLDA) and the valley point of the Euclidean distance value between two data is obtained within the feature space of the data. We build learning data by labeling data corresponding to valley points and some nearby data by feature area numbers, and labeling data between valley points and other valley points as path data between each corresponding feature area. Finally, for testing, data are collected randomly through indoor space, KLDA is applied as previous data to build test data, the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) algorithm is applied, and the path of movement of test data is estimated by applying a correction algorithm to estimate only routes that can be reached from the most recently estimated location. The estimation results verified the accuracy by comparing the true paths in indoor space with those estimated by the proposed method and achieved approximately 90.8% and 81.4% accuracy in two experimental spaces, respectively.
