In this research, a cohort of two children, aged 7-8 years, was selected to participate in a specialized three-week training program aimed at enhancing their working memory. The program consisted of three sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes. The primary goal was to investigate the impact and developmental trajectory of working memory in school-aged children. Working memory plays a significant role in young children's learning and daily activities. To address the needs of this demographic, products should offer both educational and enjoyable activities that engage working memory. Digital educational tools, known for their flexibility, are suitable for both older individuals and young children. By updating software or modifying content, these tools can be effectively repurposed for young learners without extensive hardware changes, making them both cost-effective and practical. For example, memory training games initially designed for older adults can be adapted for young children by altering images, music, or storylines. Furthermore, incorporating elements familiar to children, like animals, toys, or fairy tales, can increase their engagement in these activities. Historically, working memory capabilities have been assessed predominantly through traditional intelligence tests. However, recent research questions the adequacy of these behavioral measures in accurately detecting changes in working memory. To bridge this gap, the current study utilized electroencephalography (EEG) as a more sophisticated and precise tool for monitoring potential changes in working memory after the training. The research findings were revealing. Participants showed marked improvement in their performance on n-back tasks, a standard measure for evaluating working memory. This improvement post-training strongly supports the effectiveness of the training program. The results indicate that such targeted and structured training programs can significantly enhance the working memory abilities of children in this age group, providing promising implications for educational strategies and cognitive development interventions.

이 논문에서는 시추공을 이용한 탐사나 자료 해석 시에 중요한 시추공 궤적 정보 획득 방법에 대한 이해를 공유하고자, 깊이에 따른 시추공의 좌표를 구하는 시추공 공곡 측정 문제를 좌표계 변환 공식에 기초하여 수학적으로 정리하였다. 먼저, 철재 케이싱이 설치되어 있지 않은 시추공에 적용 가능한 방법으로서 3성분 가속도계와 3성분 자력계를 함께 이용하여 시추공의 방위각, 편차각 그리고 센서회전각을 구하는 원리를 정리하였다. 다음으로, 철재 케이싱이 설치되어 있을 경우에 자이로스코프에서 3성분 각속도가 측정되었을 때, 좌표계 변환 행렬의 시간 미분 관계식에 기초해 각속도의 시간에 따른 적분을 통해 요-피치-롤 각을 구하는 수학적 이론을 정리하고 지구 자전의 영향을 제거함으로써 측정자료의 시간 적분에 의해 시추공의 궤적을 구하는 방법을 설명하였다. 오차가 포함된 측정 자료로부터 시추공 공곡 결정의 정확도를 높이는 중요한 방법으로 센서 또는 측정 자료를 융합하는 원리도 예를 들어 설명하였다. 시추공 공곡 측정원리는 GPS 수신이 불가능한 터널내에서의 궤적 추적 또는 무인비행체를 이용한 공중 탐사나 항공 탐사 시 센서의 자세 측정에도 활용될 수 있다. 또한, 센서의 융합에서 필수적으로 접목되어야 할 최적화 필터에 대해서도 중요 문헌 및 사례를 소개함으로써, 앞으로의 연구에 도움을 주고자 하였다.

심지층 특성화 기술 확보에 필요한 자체 기기 개발의 일환으로 철재 케이싱이 설치된 시추공에도 적용가능한 공곡검층기 K-DEV를 설계하고 500 m 깊이 용 시작품을 개발하였다. K-DEV는 디지털 출력을 제공하고 이미 성능이 입증된 센서들을 장착하며, 기존에 국내에서 사용하는 윈치시스템과 호환성을 갖추도록 설계되었다. K-DEV 시작품은 외경 48.3 mm 비자성 스테인레스강 하우징을 채용했으며 실험실 내에서 20 MPa까지의 방수 시험, 그리고 1 km 깊이 시추공에 삽입하여 내구성 시험을 거쳤다. 시작품을 이용해 600 m 깊이까지의 하향 및 상향 연속 검층을 수행하여 작동의 안정성 및 자료의 반복성을 확인하였다. 철재 케이싱이 설치되어 있는 시추공내에서 방위각 결정에 필수적인 자이로 센서로 K-DEV 시작품에서는 고정밀도 MEMS 자이로스코프를 채택하였다. 여기에 가속도계 자료와 각속도 자료를 융합하고 무향 칼만 필터링(Unscented Kalman Filtering)을 통해 최적화 함으로써 정확한 궤적 추적을 수행하는 알고리듬을 고안하였다. 시험 시추공에서 K-DEV 시작품과 상업적 기기와의 비교 검층을 통해 서로 매우 근접한 결과를 얻었다. 특히, MEMS 자이로 센서의 시간에 따른 drift에 의한 오차 누적 문제는 검층 전 후에 정두에서 동일한 방향으로 위치한 정지 상태에서 측정한 자료로부터 각속도를 보정함으로써 해소될 수 있으며, 철재 케이싱이 설치된 시추공에서의 공곡검층이 나공 상태에서의 결과와 거의 동일한 궤적 추정 결과를 제공함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 시작품 적용 결과로서 K-DEV 개발의 방법론, 시작품의 안정성 및 자료의 신뢰성을 확보하였다고 판단된다.

In this paper, we introduce an autonomous calibration method for a 2D laser displacement sensor (e.g. laser vision sensor and laser range finder) by matching a single point on a flat structure. Many arc welding robots install a 2D laser displacement sensor to expand their application by recognizing their environment (e.g. base metal and seam). In such systems, sensing data should be transformed to the robot's coordinates, and the geometric relation (i.e. rotation and translation) between the robot's coordinates and sensor coordinates should be known for the transformation. Calibration means the inference process of geometric relation between the sensor and robot. Generally, the matching of more than 3 points is required to infer the geometric relation. However, we introduce a novel method to calibrate using only 1 point matching and use a specific flat structure (i.e. circular hole) which enables us to find the geometric relation with a single point matching. We make the rotation component of the calibration results as a constant to use only a single point by moving a robot to a specific pose. The flat structure can be installed easily in a manufacturing site, because the structure does not have a volume (i.e. almost 2D structure). The calibration process is fully autonomous and does not need any manual operation. A robot which installed the sensor moves to the specific pose by sensing features of the circular hole such as length of chord and center position of the chord. We show the precision of the proposed method by performing repetitive experiments in various situations. Furthermore, we applied the result of the proposed method to sensor based seam tracking with a robot, and report the difference of the robot's TCP (Tool Center Point) trajectory. This experiment shows that the proposed method ensures precision.

Tropospheric aerosols are highly variant in time and space due to non-uniform source distribution and strong influence of meteorological conditions. Backscatter lidar measurement is useful to understand vertical distribution of aerosol. However, the backscatter lidar equation is undetermined due to its dependence on the two unknowns, extinction and backscattering coefficient. This dependence necessitates the exact value of the ratio between two parameters, that is, the lidar ratio. Also, Iidar ratio itself is useful optical parameter to understand properties of aerosols. Tropospheric aerosols were observed to understand variance of lidar ratio at Anmyeon island ($36.32^{/circ}N$, $126.19^{/circ}E$), Korea using a multi-wavelength raman lidar system developed by the Advanced Environmental Monitoring Research Center (ADEMRC), Gwangju Institute Science and Technology (GIST), Korea during measurement periods; March 15$\sim$April $16^{th}$, 2004 and May 24$\sim$ $8^{th}$ 2005. Extinction coefficient, backscattering coefficient, and lidar ratio were measured at 355 and 532 nm by the Raman method. Different types of aerosol layers were distinguished by the differences in the optical properties such as Angstrom exponent, and lidar ratio. The average value of lidar ratio during two observation periods was found to be $50.85\pm4.88$ sr at 355 nm and $52.43\pm15.15$ sr at 532 nm at 2004 and $57.94\pm10.29$ sr at 355 nm and $82.24\pm15.90$ sr at 532 nm at 2005. We conduct hysplit back-trajectory to know the pathway of airmass during the observation periods. We also calculate lidar ratio of different type of aerosol, urban, maritime, dust, continental aerosols using OPAC (Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds), Remote sensing of atmospheric aerosol using a multi-wavelengh lidar system with Raman channels is quite and powerful tool to characterize the optical propertises of troposheric aerosols.

Inactive space objects are usually rotating and tumbling as a result of internal or external forces. KOREASAT 1 has been inactive since 2005, and its drift trajectory has been monitored with the optical wide-field patrol network (OWL-Net). However, a quantitative analysis of KOREASAT 1 in regard to the attitude evolution has never been performed. Here, two optical tracking systems were used to acquire raw measurements to analyze the rotation period of two inactive satellites. During the optical campaign in 2013, KOREASAT 1 was observed by a 0.6 m class optical telescope operated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The rotation period of KOREASAT 1 was analyzed with the light curves from the photometry results. The rotation periods of the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite ASTRO-H after break-up were detected by OWL-Net on April 7, 2016. We analyzed the magnitude variation of each satellite by differential photometry and made comparisons with the star catalog. The illumination effect caused by the phase angle between the Sun and the target satellite was corrected with the system tool kit (STK) and two line element (TLE) technique. Finally, we determined the rotation period of two inactive satellites on LEO and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) with light curves from the photometry. The main rotation periods were determined to be 5.2 sec for ASTRO-H and 74 sec for KOREASAT 1.

A new Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) airborne measurement platform has been established for regular observations for scientific purpose over South Korea since late 2017. CRDS G-2401m analyzer mounted on the King Air 350HW was used to continuous measurement of CO₂, CH₄ and CO mole fraction. The total uncertainty of measurements was estimated to be 0.07 ppm for CO₂, 0.5 ppb for CH₄, and 4.2 ppb for CO by combination of instrument precision, repeatability test simulated in-flight condition and water vapor correction uncertainty. The airborne vertical profile measurements were performed at a regional Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Anmyeon-do (AMY) station that belongs to the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) and provides concurrent observations to the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) overpasses. The vertical profile of CO₂ shows clear altitude gradient, while the CH₄ shows non-homogenous pattern in the free troposphere over Anmyeon-do. Vertically averaged CO₂ at the altitude between 1.5 and 8.0km are lower than AMY surface background value about 7 ppm but higher than that observed in free troposphere of western pacific region about 4 ppm, respectively. CH₄ shows lower level than those from ground GAW stations, comparable with flask airborne data that was taken in the western pacific region. Furthermore, this study shows that the combination of CH₄ distribution in free troposphere and trajectory analysis, taking account of convective mixing, is a useful tool in investigating CH₄ transport processes from tropical region to Korean region in winter season.

본 논문에서는 바람, 파도, 조류 등의 큰 외란조건에서 선박계류시스템의 계류안정성 확보를 위한 동적제어기 설계를 연구하였다. 선박계류시스템의 비선형 동요를 억제하기 위해 슈퍼트위스팅 알고리즘(STA)을 포함한 슬라이딩 모드 제어(SMC) 기법이 적용되었다. 외란이나 파라미터의 불확실성에 대한 강인성의 장점에도 불구하고, 채터링은 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 적용하는데 주요 단점이 되고 있다. 1차계 SMC는 정확히 제어 목표치에 수렴 하도록 정밀한 제어는 가능하나, 채터링과 같은 파괴적인 현상과 연계되어 적용에 주요한 장애가 된다. 대신에, STA는 큰 외란에도 불구하고 비교적 높은 정확도를 보이며 채터링 현상을 완전히 제거한다. 1차계 슬라이딩 모드 제어기의 채터링 문제를 피할 수 있는 STA기반의 SMC는 비선형 계류시스템의 동적제어를 위한 아주 효과적인 수단으로 판단된다. 아울러, STA로 제어된 선박계류시스템의 위치오차 궤적은 경계 구역 내에서 형성된다. 끝으로, 슬라이딩 표면과 위치궤적의 오차결과를 통해 STA의 이득제어 효과도 관측할 수 있다.
