에너지 패러다임이 격변하는 시점에서 ESS는 전력부족 및 전력수요관리의 해소와 재생에너지의 증진에 필수적 인 요건이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 부하 및 태양광 발전 예측량을 통하여 비용효과적인 ESS Peak-Shaving 운영방안을 제안한다. ESS 운영방안을 위해 통계적 척도인 RMS을 통해 부하 및 태양광 발전 예측하였으며 예측된 부하 및 태양광 발전량을 통해 한 시간 단위의 목표 부하 절감량 Guide-line을 설정하였다. 대상 수용가의 1년 실데이터를 활용한 부 하 및 태양광 발전 예측 시뮬레이션으로 2019년 5월 6일 ~ 10일의 부하 및 태양광 발전량을 예측 하였으며 시간별 Guide-line을 설정하였다. 부하 예측 평균오차율은 7.12%였으며, 태양광 발전량 예측 평균오차율은 10.57%를 나타냈 다. ESS 운영방안을 통한 시간별 Guide-line 제시를 통해 수용가의 Peak-shaving 최대화에 기여하였음을 확인하였 다. 본 논문의 결과를 통해 태양광과 연계하여 화석에너지로 발생하는 환경적인 영향을 최소화하며 신재생에너지를 최 대 활용하여 에너지 문제를 줄일 수 있다고 기대한다.

ESS is an essential requirement for resolving power shortages and power demand management and promoting renewable energy at a time when the energy paradigm changes. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective ESS Peak-Shaving operation plan through load and solar power generation forecast. For the ESS operation plan, electric load and solar power generation were predicted through RMS, which is a statistical measure, and a target load reduction guideline for one hour was set through the predicted electric load and solar power generation amount. The load and solar power generation amount from May 6th to 10th, 2019 was predicted by simulation of load and photovoltaic power generation using real data of the target customer for one year, and an hourly guideline was set. The average error rate for predicting load was 7.12%, and the average error rate for predicting solar power generation amount was 10.57%. Through the ESS operation plan, it was confirmed that the hourly guide-line suggested in this paper contributed to the peak-shaving maximization of customers.Through the results of this paper, it is expected that future energy problems can be reduced by minimizing environmental problems caused by fossil energy in connection with solar power and utilizing new and renewable energy to the maximum.

챗봇이 비즈니스의 중요한 인터페이스 창구로 떠오르고 있다. 이러한 변화는 챗봇 관련 연구가 자연어처리 (Natural Language Processing)기법에서 자연어이해(Natural Language Understanding) 그리고 자연어생성 (Natural Language Generation)으로 지속적으로 발전했기 때문이다. 하지만, 챗봇을 개발하는 과정에서 도메인 지식 을 이끌어내고, 사용자 친화적인 대화형 인터페이스로 개발하는 방법론적 연구는 미약한 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 챗봇 개발의 프로세스적 기준을 제시하기 위해 이전 논문에서 제시한 방법론을 바탕으로 실제 프로젝트에 적용하며 개발방법론을 개선하였다. 결론적으로 가장 핵심적인 단계인 테스트 단계의 생산성을 33.3% 향상하였으며, 그 반복횟 수도 37.5%로 단축하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 “3 Phase and 17 Tasks 개발방법론”을 제시하였으며, 이것은 챗 봇 개발의 시행착오를 획기적으로 개선할 것으로 기대한다.

Chatbot is emerging as an important interface window for business. This change is due to the continued development of chatbot-related research from NLP to NLU and NLG. However, the reality is that the methodological study of drawing domain knowledge and developing it into a user-friendly interactive interface is weak in the process of developing chatbot. In this paper, in order to present the process criteria of chatbot development, we applied it to the actual project based on the methodology presented in the previous paper and improved the development methodology. In conclusion, the productivity of the test phase, which is the most important step, was improved by 33.3%, and the number of iterations was reduced to 37.5%. Based on these results, the "3 Phase and 17 Tasks Development Methodology" was presented, which is expected to dramatically improve the trial and error of the chatbot development.

지속적인 인구 증가율 하락에도 불구하고 평균 수명 상승에 따라 인구 고령화가 빠르게 진행되고 있는 사회 환경에서 기술의 진화 및 소득 수준의 상승을 기반으로 건강과 삶의 질에 대한 관심이 증가하며 헬스케어 서비스 시장 은 급속히 성장하고 있는 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2019년 10월까지 특허정보넷(KIPRIS)에 게재된 헬스케어 관련 한국과 미국의 특허데이터를 대상으로 Keyword를 추출한 후 빈도 분석, 시계열 분석, Keyword Network 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 헬스케어 분야의 핵심 Keyword가 전통적인 의료 관련 Keyword에서 ICT관련 Keyword로 변화하고 있는 기술 트렌드가 파악되었다. 또한 미국과 비교하여 핵심 Keyword들이 55% 유사 한 분포를 보이지만 특허생산량 면에서 절대적인 격차를 확인하였다. 향후에는 핵심 Keyword에 대하여 국내외 연구 동향 등 다양한 자료를 분석하여 글로벌 시장에서 유의미한 시사점을 얻을 수 있는 연구를 진행하고자 한다.

In a social environment where population aging is rapidly progressing, the healthcare service market is growing fast with the increasing interest in health and quality of life based on rising income levels and the evolution of technology. In this study, after keywords were extracted from Korean and US patent data published on KIPRIS from 2000 to October 2019, frequency analysis, time series analysis, and keyword network analysis were performed. Through this, the change of technology trends were identified, which keywords related to healthcare was shifted from traditional medical words to ICT words. In addition, although the keywords in Korean patents are 55% similar to those in the US, they show an absolute gap in patent production volume. In the next study, we will analyze various data such as domestic and international research and can obtain meaningful implications in the global market on the identified keywords.

자연어처리 기술은 사람이 말하는 언어를 기계적으로 분석해 컴퓨터가 이해할 수 있는 형태로 만드는 것을 의미 한다. 이것이 중요한 이유는 인공지능의 기본인 인간과 디바이스 간 커뮤니케이션을 위한 핵심기술이기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 자연어처리, 특히 의미분석과 관련된 기술동향을 확인하기 위해 미국과 한국의 특허정보에 대해 분석하였으 며, 본 연구를 통해 향후 자연어처리 관련 연구에 의미있는 정보제공을 그 목적으로 한다. 결론적으로, 국내 특허 수는 미국 대비 7.9% 수준이며, 주요 Keyword의 상이한 빈도는 기술적 방향성에 국가별로 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 또 한 상향 또는 하향 성향의 Keyword가 한국 대비 미국이 2배로 나타나 시대적 흐름을 상대적으로 더 반영한 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 연구에서는 실질적인 기술예측을 위해 상향 성향의 Keyword가 특허에서 어떻게 기술되고 있는지 구체적으로 분석하고자 한다.

NLP means the technology that mechanically analyzes a language spoken by a human and makes it into a form that can be understood by a computer. This is important because it is a core technology for communication between humans and devices, which is the basis of artificial intelligence. In this paper, I analyzed patent information of US and Korea in order to identify technical trends related to NLP, especially semantic analysis. and the purpose of this study is to provide meaningful information for future research on NLP. In conclusion, the number of Korea patents is 7.9% compared to the USA and the different frequencies of the major keywords were found to differ from country to country in technical direction. In addition, the upward or downward keywords are twice as many in the U.S. as in Korea, and reflect the trend of the times relatively more. Based on these results, in future study, I will analysis how upward trending keywords are described in actual patents for concrete technology prediction.

가상환경을 활용한 시뮬레이션과 같은 교육, 훈련 등이 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있는 만큼 그 활용성은 무궁무 진하다. 하지만 가상환경에서 훈련을 함에 있어 깊이지각의 과소추정이 존재하며, 이는 향후 훈련의 타당도에 문제가 될 수 있다. 관련 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 하향식 보정방안을 적용하여 문제를 해결하려 하였으나 그 결과가 학습에 의한 효과인지 실제 지각의 변화인지에 대한 구분이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실험결과를 통하여 공간 구성요수 중 비례가 깊이지각에 유의미한 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인하였으며, 비례와 깊이지각 단서를 함께 보정하여 실험할 경우 깊이지각 중 크기지각이 매우 정확해진다는 것을 확인하였다

As the education and training is such a virtual environment is applied to various fields, its usability is endless. However, there is an underestimation of the depth of perception in the training environment. In order to solve this problem, we tried to solve the problem by applying the top-down correction method. However, it is difficult to classify the result as a learning effect or perception change. In this study, it was confirmed that the proportion of spatial components of urine had a significant effect on the depth perception, and it was confirmed that the size perception were corrected together. In this study, we propose a correction method using spatial component and depth perception to improve the accuracy of depth perception.

전 세계 전력 생산 에너지의 비율은 석탄이 40%, 천연가스 20%, 수력 16%, 원자력 15%, 석유 6%로 모두가 환경오염을 유발하는 에너지다. 또한 화석연료는 지구상에 자원의 편중이 심하기 때문에 가격과 공급면에서 심각한 문 제를 야기한다. 이러한 문제로 화석 연료를 대체하게 될 차세대 친환경 에너지로써 태양광 에너지가 각광 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 공단에 Test-Bed를 선정하여 수용가의 대응용 태양광 ESS 시스템 적용함에 있어 Peak-cut 운영을 위한 Charge Operation Plan과 Discharge Operation Plan 운영방안을 최대수요전력 감소 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 전력사용량이 가장 많은 11월부터 2월의 전력사용량을 선정하여 Charge/Discharge Logic을 적용했다. 본 논문에서 제시한 충전/방전 로직에 따른 시뮬레이션 결과, ESS Peak-cut 서비스 이후의 최대수 요전력이 감소하였으며 Peak-target 전력의 50%로 감소함에 따라 계약전력 또한 감소함을 알 수 있다. 이를 통해 계약 전력 감소는 해당 수용가의 기본 전력 값을 감소시켜, 경제적 우월성을 기대할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 전기품질 향상 및 전력공급시스템의 안정화에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The world's electricity production ratio is 40% for coal, 20% for natural gas, 16% for hydroelectric power, 15% for nuclear power and 6% for petroleum. Fossil fuels also cause serious problems in terms of price and supply because of the high concentration of resources on the earth. Solar energy is attracting attention as a next-generation eco-friendly energy that will replace fossil fuels with these problems. In this study, we test the charge-operation plan and the discharge operation plan for peak-cut operation by applying the maximum power demand reduction simulation . To do this, we selected the electricity usage from November to February, which has the largest amount of power usage, and applied charge / discharge logic. Simulation results show that the contract power decreases as the peak demand power after the ESS Peak-cut service is reduced to 50% of the peak-target power. As a result, the contract power reduction can reduce the basic power value of the customer and not only the economic superiority can be expected, but also contribute to the improvement of the electric quality and stabilization of the power supply system.

본 연구의 목적은 현대사회에서 치아미백에 대한 관심도가 높아짐에 따라 실생활에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 과일들을 이용한 천연 치아미백술 효과를 확인하기 위함이다. 20개의 소구치를 4개씩 5 그룹으로 딸기(A), 레몬(B), 바나나 껍질(C), 베이킹소다(D), 미백치약(E)을 법랑질 표면에 칫솔을 이용하여 처리하였다. 치아의 표면에 아침, 점심, 저녁 3분씩 동일한 시간에 칫솔을 이용하여 처리 후 멸균증류수로 세척하고 생리식염수에 담가 보관하였다. 이러한 과정을 총 4주 동안 반복하였으며, 1주 간격으로 치아의 색변화를 관찰하였다. 4주간 치아에 적용한 결과, 3주후부터 치아의 색 변화에 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 그 중에서도 딸기와 레몬은 미백치약보다 높은 색의 변화를 보였으며, 이는 딸기와 레몬은 미백치약보다 높은 미백효과를 가져다주며 미백치약에 함유된 인체에 유해할 수 있는 화학성분을 대신하여 딸기와 레몬을 사용해 보다 안전한 천연미백술로 미백 효과를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of natural tooth whitening using fruits that can be easily accessed in real life by increasing interest in tooth whitening in modern society. Twenty premolar teeth were divided into five groups (n=4). Strawberry (A), lemon (B), banana skin (C), baking soda (D) and whitening toothpaste (E) were treated with a toothbrush on the enamel surface. The tooth surface was treated with a toothbrush at the same time for 3 minutes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then washed with sterile distilled water, and stored in saline solution. This procedure was repeated for 4 weeks, and the color change of teeth was observed at intervals of one week. After 4 weeks, there was a significant difference in tooth color change after 3 weeks(p<0.05). Among them, strawberry and lemon showed higer effects to whitening toothpaste. It is believed that strawberries and lemons have a higher whitening effect than whitening toothpaste. Whitening toothpaste may be replaced with a safe natural whitening effect using strawberries and lemons instead of chemical ingredients that may be harmful to human body.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the concepts of nurses' subjective well -being and clarify its attributes reflected in compre - hensive nursing care services. Methods: A concept analysis was conducted using Walker and Avant’s eight step approach. Data were collected from databases such as PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, RISS, DBpia and KISS. Sixteen articles in English and Korean were analyzed through a literature search. Results: The key attributes identified were 'evaluation of meaning of life’and "harmonious balance: the internal and external environment in daily life." The antecedents of subject well-being in compre- hensive nursing care services included high life satisfaction, positivity , and the absense of negativity. The consequences of subjec- tive well being in comprehensive nuring care services included the nurses realizing their potential; physical, mental, and social comfort; and control over the surroundings. Conclusion: The concept analysis provides insight into subjective well-being in comprehensive nursing care services and helps ground the concept in a comprehensive nursing care unit.

As systems become more complex today, verifying the safety of complex systems is becoming increasingly important. However, validation activities using actual systems face limitations in terms of time and cost. To overcome these limitations, the functions, characteristics, and operations of physical assets can be implemented in a virtual environment similar to the real world, allowing for validation through simulations under various scenarios. By performing validation in a virtual environment, iterative tests can be conducted through simulations in a realistic virtual environment without physical models during the conceptual design phase. Tests can also be performed under malfunction conditions or extreme conditions. In this study, we introduce a verification method for railway vehicles in a virtual environment and propose a method of applying virtual verification from a life cycle perspective.

This study investigates the impact of standardized underground logistics conainers on lower body muscle activation during warehouse tasks, comparing conventional roll containers(A type) with newly developed ones(B type). Through a detailed experimental setup involving electromyography(EMG) and tensiomyography(TMG), muscle activities of the lower limbs were quantitatively analyzed during loading unloading and transporting tasks. Results indicated no significant difference in muscle activation patters between the two rolltainer types, suggesting that the dimensions of these containers do not critically affect the muscular strain and workload. Furthermore, the TMG analysis revealed that muscle contraction velocity(Vc) increased in certain muscles when using the B-type rolltainer, indicating a potential for more efficient muscle engagement without increasing fatigue. This research underscores the importance of ergonomic considerations in the design of logistics equipment and suggests that further studies should focus on optimizing the interaction between human operators and logistical systems to enhance safety and efficiency in warehouse operations.

Objectives: In many previous studies, endocrine disruptors (EDCs) have been found to affect delays in puberty. Various EDCs have been reported on, but there have been only limited epidemiologic studies on the effects of exposure to environmental heavy metals and pyrethroid pesticides on puberty delay. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of exposure to environmental mercury, cadmium, and pyrethroid pesticides with delayed puberty in children based on national survey data that represents Korean children. Methods: We selected 450 children at the ages of 9-11 years old from the third Korean National Environmental Health Survey (3rd KoNEHS). The relations of urinary Hg, Cd, and 3-PBA with pubertal development were evaluated using multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: Urinary Hg levels were significantly associated with delayed puberty in boys [testicle development: OR=0.41 (95% CI: 0.20, 0.84); genitalia development: OR=0.35 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.81)]. Girls with higher Hg levels were more likely to experience delayed menarche [OR=0.23 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.90)]. We observed a significant 49% reduction in odds for menarche per increasing unit of urinary cadmium levels [OR=0.51 (95% CI: 0.24, 1.01)]. In addition, urinary 3-PBA showed a negative association with genitalia development in boys and menarche in girls [genitalia development: OR=0.73 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.96); menarche: OR=0.56 (95% CI: 0.32, 1.00)]. Conclusions: The results of this study support the hypothesis that exposure to environmental mercury, cadmium and pyrethroid pesticides may affect puberty delays. Additional evidence needs to be obtained through further prospective studies.

Objectives: Strokes have diverse symptoms and signs. One of ten stroke patients has chronic pain after a stroke. Pain after a stroke interrupts rehabilitation and worsens quality of life, but there is no efficient treatment for this pain. This study surveyed and reports on the clinical studies of treatment for chronic pain after a stroke. Methods: We searched journals for reports on clinical studies of treatment for chronic pain after a stroke through the databases OASIS (http://oasis.kiom.re.kr), NDSL (ndsl.kr), Kmbase (http://kmbase.medric.or.kr/), and PubMed (http://www. pubmed.com). The search words were "stroke & pain", "jungpung中風 & pain", "pungbi風痺", "cerebral hemorrhage & pain", and "cerebral infarction & pain". Results: Twenty-nine studies of treatment for chronic pain after a stroke were found. Of these, 15 were randomized controlled trials, 10 were nonrandomized controlled trials, and 4 were "before and after" studies. Treatments were diverse, including acupuncture, electroacupuncture, herbal acupuncture, herbal medicine, and more. The treatment periods were longer than 3 weeks on average. Conclusions: These results show that good quality randomized controlled trials of treatment for chronic pain after a stroke are small in number. We need larger and more diverse studies of treatment for chronic pain after a stroke.

Inappropriate backfill material and poor compaction cause the damage to sewer and ground settlement. To deal with such problem, flowable backfill material has attracted attention recently. A basic study was conducted in a bid to obtain optimum mixing ratio of backfill material with the characteristics of rapid hardening, pseudo-plasticity, flowability and anti washout ability and enhance the cost efficiency of backfill material. Through the test of optimal mixing ratio of rapid hardening, evaluation of optimal mixing ratio of backfill material was conducted. As a result, required performance as well as cost efficiency could be achieved by adjusting plasticizer even in case of increasing W/M of the paste of rapid hardening to 100%.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness in the lighting performance of mixed type light-shelf, by comparing and analyzing the internal light-shelf, external light-shelf, and mixed-type light-shelf. The performance of light-shelf was evaluated according to the angle of light-shelf at summer solstice, winter solstice, vernal equinox, and autumn equinox. The comparative analysis between the internal light-shelf, external light-shelf, and mixed-type light-shelf was carried out using the performance evaluation and analysis method. The result of performance evaluation is shown as follows. The mixed type light-shelf showed the highest lighting performance all at summer solstice, winter solstice, vernal equinox, and autumn equinox, followed by the external light-shelf and the internal light-shelf in the same order. The mixed type light-shelf was the most favorable for bringing daylight to indoors by adjusting the angle of light-shelf, and it also showed the highest lighting performance in terms of uniformity ratio of illumination which indicates the quality of light.

Background: The term solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is preferred over meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC), because NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion has been observed in both intracranial and extracranial HPCs. HPCs are now considered cellular variants of SFTs. Methods: This study analyzes 19 patients with STAT6-confirmed SFTs, who were followed for over 11 years in a single institution. Ten patients (10/19, 56.2%) had extracranial metastases (metastatic group), while the remainder (9/19) did not (non-metastatic group). These two groups were compared clinicopathologically. Results: In the metastatic group, the primary metastatic sites were the lungs (n = 6), bone (n = 4), and liver (n = 3). There was a mean lag time of 14.2 years between the diagnosis of the initial meningeal tumor to that of systemic metastasis. The median age at initial tumor onset was 37.1 years in the metastatic group and 52.5 in the non-metastatic group. The 10-year survival rates of the metastatic- and non-metastatic groups were 100% and 33%, respectively. The significant prognostic factors for poor outcomes on univariate analysis included advanced age (≥45 years) and large initial tumor size (≥ 5 cm). In contrast, the patients with higher tumor grade, high mitotic rate (≥ 5/10 high-power fields), high Ki-67 index (≥ 5%), and the presence of necrosis or CD34 positivity showed tendency of poor prognosis but these parameters were not statistically significant poor prognostic markers. Conclusions: Among patients with SFTs, younger patients (<45 years) experienced longer survival times and paradoxically had more frequent extracranial metastases after long latent periods than did older patients. Therefore, young patients with SFTs require careful surveillance and follow-up for early detection of systemic metastases.
