In recent years, self-healing coatings have been the subject of increasing interest. The ability of such coatings to self-repair local damage caused by external factors is a major factor contributing to their attractiveness. Metals are extensively used in modern society in a range of applications from infrastructure to aircraft to consumer products. The protection of metals, primarily from corrosion has been an active area of materials science for many years. The aim of this review is the demonstration for recent progress achieved in the development of carrier-based self-healing coatings for the protection of metals. This review mainly covers the reports published after 2010. Two main types of carriers for corrosion inhibitors or healing agents-polymer capsules and porous composite inorganic nanoparticles-are described.

The purpose of this study is to extract the key words from the list of research subjects related to 'hotel workers' published in recent 10 years(2009~2018) by using the language network analysis method and to confirm the relation between the key words. In this paper, we propose a semantic network analysis that can overcome limitations of longitudinal study, analyze the recent research trends, and widely use as a research model. The results of this study are as follows ; First, in analyzing major key words in the title of 'Hotel Employer' in recent 10 years, the major keyword of job satisfaction(40), special grade(26), organizational commitment(20), emotional labor(19), service(12), restaurant(10), and turnover intention(9). Second, we analyzed the relation of language network among major key words extracted from the study title of 'hotel workers'. Such a research process is expected to grasp the trends of research related to 'hotel workers' and give implications for the future direction of related research.

With the massive increase in bandwidth for wireless communications, free space optical (FSO) communication has attracted significant interest owing to its outstanding strengths over conventional radio frequency wireless communication such as a wide bandwidth, unlicensed spectrum, low power consumption, small size, electromagnetic interference immunity, long-range propagation, and improved security. In recent years, FSO technology has been studied intensively for use in terrestrial and underwater autonomous and unmanned mobile systems, a rapidly growing application area, including robots, drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous vehicles, unmanned trains, and unmanned submarines. In this report, we review the recent trends and key technologies for the mobile FSO system, and introduce our drone-based mobile FSO system, which is currently under development.

The performance of machine learning algorithms significantly depends on how a configuration of hyperparameters is identified and how a neural network architecture is designed. However, this requires expert knowledge of relevant task domains and a prohibitive computation time. To optimize these two processes using minimal effort, many studies have investigated automated machine learning in recent years. This paper reviews the conventional random, grid, and Bayesian methods for hyperparameter optimization (HPO) and addresses its recent approaches, which speeds up the identification of the best set of hyperparameters. We further investigate existing neural architecture search (NAS) techniques based on evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement learning, and gradient derivatives and analyze their theoretical characteristics and performance results. Moreover, future research directions and challenges in HPO and NAS are described.

This paper reviews recent developments and applications of dielectric elastomers (DEs) and suggests various techniques to improve DE properties. DEs as smart materials are a variety of electro-active polymers (EAPs) that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and cause a large deformation when a voltage is applied. The dielectric constant, modulus, and dielectric loss of DEs determine the efficiency of deformation. Among these, the dielectric constant significantly affects their performance. Therefore, various recent approaches to improve the dielectric constant are reviewed, including the enhancement of polarization, introduction of microporous structures in the matrix, and introduction of ferroelectric fillers. Furthermore, the basic principles of DEs are examined, as well as their various applications such as actuators, generators, sensors, and artificial muscles.

Microalgae is becoming a vital component for a circular economy and ultimately for sustainable development. Herein, recent developments in different outcomes of microalgae for wastewater treatment and biorefinery were reviewed. From its primary function as a third-generation resource of biofuel, the usage of microalgae has been diversified as an integral element for the CO₂ sequestration and production of economically valuable products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, animal feeds, biofertilizer, biochar, etc.). Principles and recent challenges for each microalgae application were presented to suggest a motivation for future research and the direction of development. The integration of microalgae within the concept of the circular economy was also discussed with various routes of microalgae-based biorefinery.

Pilot fatigue is a great hazard to aviation safety. In recent years, long-distance fights have been increasing and flight hours have been increasing, which has made fatigue issues important. International organizations in the aviation sectors (ICAO, FAA, IATA etc.) recommend management of fatigue within the SMS (Safety Management System) framework. A scientific and systematic approach to measuring fatigue is required as a prerequisite to preparing safety management measures for pilot's fatigue. Therefore, in this study, I would like to consider recent trends and implications for fatigue measurement. First, I aimed to consider recent the accident cases related to fatigue. Second, I also considered how to measure the pilot's fatigue. Finally, the direction of the countermeasures against fatigue through fatigue measurement was developed and suggested.

The development of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) has been gaining attention in recent years due to their potential to offer higher energy densities, improved safety, and longer cycle life compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, several challenges must be addressed to achieve the practical application of ASSBs, such as the development of high-performance solid-state electrolytes, stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces, and cost-effective manufacturing processes. In this review paper, we present an overview of the current state of ASSB research, including recent progress in solid-state electrolyte and cathode/anode materials, and cell architecture. We also summarize the recent advancements and highlight the remaining challenges in ASSB research, with an outlook on the future of this promising technology.

The shift in the medical paradigm from treatment to prevention and diagnosis has underscored the growing significance of biosensors. Notably, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the widespread adoption of biosensors for the detection of viral genes and antigens. Consequently, there has been a substantial increase in both the demand for biosensors and the industries associated with their production. Furthermore, biosensors find applications not only in healthcare but also in diverse fields such as environmental monitoring, food quality control, military defense, and industrial processes. In this brief review, we delve into the essential attributes of biosensors, namely sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. We provide an overview of the latest research trends aimed at improving these attributes. Additionally, we introduce recent research cases in which these attributes are being applied both in vivo and in vitro.

Several anti-inflammatory small molecules have been found in the process of the inflammatory response, and these small molecules have been used to treat some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Numerous tools for predicting anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) have emerged in recent years. However, conducting experimental validations in the lab is both resource-intensive and time-consuming. Current therapies for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders often involve nonspecific anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants, often with potential side effects. AIPs have been used in treating inflammatory illnesses like Alzheimer's disease and can limit the expression of inflammatory promoters. Recent advances in adverse incident predictions (AIPs) have been made, but it is crucial to acknowledge limitations and imperfections in existing methodologies.
