Objective: The aim of this study is to introduce an operator console design review system suitable for designing and evaluating consoles based on human factor guidelines for a digitalized main control room in an advanced nuclear power plant which has a requirement for anthropometric data usage. Background: The system interface of the main control room in a nuclear power plant has been getting digitalized and consists of various consoles with many information displays. Console operators often face human-computer interactive problems due to inappropriate console design stemming from the perceptual constraints of anthropometric data usage. Method: Computational models with a process of visual perception and variables of anthropometric data are used for designing and evaluating operator consoles suitable for human system interface guidelines, which are used in an advanced nuclear power plant. Results: From the computational model and simulation application, console dimensions and a designing test module, which would be used for designing suitable consoles with safety concerns in a nuclear power plant, have been introduced. Conclusion: This case study may influence employing a suitable design concept with various anthropometric data in many areas with safety concerns and may show a feasible solution to designing and evaluating the safety console dimensions. Application: The results of this study may be used for designing a control room with the human factors requiring a safe working environment.

Porcelain insulators have generally been used in Korea but polymer insulators which are superior in that they are light weight, explosion proof, impact proof, economical with construction characteristics, have been in use for the 154kV transmission line since 1999 following a worldwide trend towards the reduced weight, simplification and compact usage of new material insulators. However there have been approximately 500 cases of forest fires in Korea, so the transmission lines that for the most part pass through mountainous areas have been highly effected and the highly polymerized compound polymer insulator has raised concern about reliability in cases of exposure to forest fires. Therefore for the reliability assessment of the effect of forest fires on polymer insulators, mechanical and electrical characteristics are analyzed by an artificial flare test device and transmission facility surrounding conditions along with forest fire characteristics are surveyed. In addition to this, actual 90kV energized transmission line was tested with an artificial forest fire and the expanded usage of polymer insulators is presented through the analysis of mechanical and electrical characteristics and physical properties, and a study on the influence of forest fires on polymer insulators.

본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 효율적인 에너지 절감을 위한 동적 전원관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 사용자에게 할당된 가상 머신 운용을 위한 키보드와 마우스의 움직임을 감지하고, 가용메모리와 CPU 활용률을 모니터링하게 된다. 만약 시스템이 일정 시간동안 키보드와 마우스의 움직임을 감지하지 못하거나, CPU와 가용 메모리가 미리 정의된 임계값에 도달하게 되면 가상머신 관리자 프로그램은 클라이언트에게 종료 명령을 내리게 되어 상당한 전력절감이 가능하다. 개발된 시스템은 대학 내 실제 컴퓨터 실습실에 적용하여 그 성능을 평가하였다.

As user-involved energy saving activities have become important in recent years, many forms of energy feedback experiments have been conducted. We conducted a study to determine if energy feedback activities affect energy saving for students living in dormitories at a university in Seoul. In particular, smart plugs were used for efficient research and quantitative performance measurements, and the extent of the impact of competition and rewards on participant energy saving behavior was further analyzed. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, the power usage of groups using smart plugs was lower than that of those without them. Second, energy feedback delivered to smart plug users did not have a significant impact on reduction of electric power consumption. Third, competition and compensation strategies had additional effects in reducing power usage for smart plug users. As a result, methods to deliver energy feedback more effectively as ICT technologies develop and efficient energy activities using IoT technologies can be expected to spread widely in the future.

As the fourth industrial revolution, in which people, objects, and information are connected as one, various fields such as smart energy, smart cities, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, unmanned cars, and robot industries are becoming the mainstream, drawing attention to big data. Among them, Smart Grid is a technology that maximizes energy efficiency by converging information and communication technologies into the power grid to establish a smart grid that can know electricity usage, supply volume, and power line conditions. Smart meters are equient that monitors and communicates power usage. We start with the goal of building a virtual smart grid and constructing a virtual environment in which real-time data is generated to accommodate large volumes of data that are small in capacity but regularly generated. A major role is given in creating a software/hardware architecture deployment environment suitable for the system for test operations. It is necessary to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the software according to the characteristics of the collected data and select sub-projects suitable for the purpose. The collected data was collected/loaded/processed/analyzed by the Hadoop ecosystem-based big data platform, and used to predict power demand through deep learning.

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing followers' continuous usage intention of twitter based on Elaboration Likelihood Model. In particular, central route(information itself) and peripheral route(twitterian's trustworthiness) are tested to reveal which has a more influential role in effecting the continuous usage intention of power-twitter. Furthermore, this study tests the relationship of users' attitude and continuous usage intention. The results indicate that argument quality, accuracy(central route), source expertise and source trustworthiness (peripheral route) have an influence on attitude. However, trustworthy on central route is not significant. Argument quality, trustworthy, accuracy(central route) and source expertise(peripheral route) have an influence on perceived usefulness. But source trustworthiness on peripheral is not significant. Attitude has an influence on perceived usefulness, and attitude and perceived usefulness both have an influence on perceived usefulness. In conclusion, central route is more influential than peripheral route in forming a positive attitude towards arguments, which in turn leads to the perception of twitter's usefulness, and in the end brings the continuous usage intention of twitter.

Small portable devices such as mobile phones and laptops currently display a trend of high power consumption owing to their characteristics of high speed and multifunctionality. Low-power SoC design is one of the important factors that must be considered to increase portable time at limited battery capacities. Popular low power SoC design techniques include clock gating, multi-threshold voltage, power gating, and multi-voltage design. With a decreasing semiconductor process technology size, leakage power can surpass dynamic power in total power consumption; therefore, appropriate low-power SoC design techniques must be combined to reduce power consumption to meet the power specifications. This study examines several low-power SoC design trends that reduce semiconductor SoC dynamic and static power using EDA tools. Low-power SoC design technology can be a competitive advantage, especially in the IoT and AI edge environments, where power usage is typically limited.

This study examines the value, knowledge and sustainable consumption behavior of fashion consumers. The study shows that universalism/harmony, security/benevolence, power, and tradition/faith have positive effects on buying/usage behavior; however, hedonism/wealth has a negative effect. Stimulation/self-direction and universalism/harmony positively influence boycott behavior; however, power has a negative influence. Universalism/harmony and politeness have positive impacts on care/disposing behavior. Consumer knowledge about fashion related environmental problems, labor practices, ethical issues and sustainable environment knowledge influence sustainable buying/usage behavior; in addition, knowledge about ethical issues and sustainable environmental problems positively influence boycott and care/disposing behavior. Moreover, there were significant differences in values, knowledge, and consumption behavior by age.
