In order to assess the impacts of drawdown for land-use change on a Sphagnum-marsh, we compared the vegetation and flora of the wetland before and after the drawdown with focusing on the population of Sphagnum palustre L. Remarkable changes in the coverage of S. palustre and the major vegetational components of the wetland were observed. The coverage of S. palustre markedly decreased by about 75% (from approx. 247 ㎥ in 2011 to approx. 62 ㎥ in 2015) after the drawdown. Tree species such as Salix spp. extended (from about 70% to about 83% in the total coverage of the wetland), whereas herbaceous species shrunk after the drawdown. Upland-inhabiting species such as obligate plants for uplands (OBU) increased, whereas wetland-inhabiting species such as facultative plants for wetlands (FACW) and OBW decreased in terms of vegetational coverage. The total number of plant species decreased from 70 species to 62 species after the drawdown, including the disappearance of some wetland-inhabiting species from the wetland. We suggest that the attention for further studies on the abandoned paddy terraces (APTs) and effort for the management and conservation of APTs and APT-inhabiting species that are vulnerable to human-induced disturbances have to be paid more.

In order to enhance the thermal stability of binder materials of bonded type solid lubricants, several combinations of metal-alkoxide based sol-gel materials such as methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMOS), $titaniumisopropoxide(Ti(Opr^{j})_{4})$, $zirconiumisopropoxide(Zr(Opr^{j})_{4})$ and $aluminumbutoxide(Al(Obu^{t})_{4})$ were chemically modified by epoxy-, acrylic- and fluoro-silane compounds, respectively, in this work. Friction and wear characteristics of these hybrid ceramic materials were tested with a micro tribe-tester where a reciprocating steel ball slid on a test material, and the tribological property was also evaluated with respect to both heat-curing temperature and tile time. Test results generally showed that hybrid ceramic materials modified by epoxy-silane compounds had a low friction compared to others. And the higher heat-curing temperature and the longer heat treatment time resulted in the higher friction and the lower wear. IR spectroscopic analyses revealed that it was caused mainly by the increased metal oxide content in hybrid ceramics when the heat-curing temperature was over $320^{\circ}C$.

When a single inorganic precursor is used for the synthesis of a sol-gel coating, there is a problem of cracking on the surface of coating layer. In order to solve this problem of surface cracking, we synthesized inorganic-organic coatings that have hybrid properties of inorganic and organic materials. Sols of various ratios (1:0.07, 0.2, 0.41, 0.82, 1.64, 3.26, 6.54, 13.2) of an inorganic precursor of Tetrabutylorthotitanate ($Ti(OBu)_4$, TBOT) and an organic precursor of ${\gamma}$-Methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTS) were prepared and coated on stainless steels (SUS316L) by dip coating method. The binding structure and the physical properties of the synthesized coatings were analyzed by FT-IR, FE-SEM, FIB (Focused Ion Beam), and a nano-indenter. Dynamic polarization testing and EIS (electrical impedance spectroscopy) were carried out to evaluate the micro-defects and the corrosion properties of the coatings. The prepared coatings show hybrid properties of inorganic oxides and organic materials. Crack free coatings were prepared when the MAPTS ratio was above a critical value. As the MAPTS ratio increased, the thickness and the corrosion resistance increased, and the hardness decreased.

In order to enhance the thermal stability of binder materials of bonded type solid lubricants, several metal-alkoxide based sol-gel materials such as methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMOS), titaniumisopropoxide (Ti(Opr$\^$i/)$_4$), zirconiumisopropoxide (Zr(Opr$\^$i/)$_4$) and aluminumbutoxide (Al(Obu$\^$t/)$_4$) were modified chemically by both epoxy and acrylic silane compounds. Friction and wear characteristics of the bonded solid lubricants, whose binders were of several hybrid ceramic materials, were tested with a reciprocating tribo-tester. Wear life was evaluated with respect to the heat-curing temperature, friction temperature, type of supplement lubricants, and ratio of binder materials. Test results showed that the Si-Zr hybrid ceramic materials modified by epoxy-silane compounds had a higher wear life compared to others. Sb$_2$O$_3$ was the most effective supplement lubricants in the high temperature, and BUS analyses revealed that it was caused mainly by a strong anti-oxidation effect to MoS$_2$ particles. The higher heat-curing temperature resulted in the higher wear life, and the higher friction temperature resulted in the lower wear life.

And the higher het-curing temperature and the longer heat treatment time resulted in the higher friction and the lower wear. IR spectroscopic analyses revealed that these results were caused mainly by the increased metal oxide content in hybrid ceramics when the heat-curing temperature was over $320^{\circ}C.$

이성분 산화물인 ZnO/$TiO_2$ core-shell 나노입자는 core-shell 구조의 특성과 이성분 산화물의 상호작용에 의해서 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율향상을 기대할 수 있다. Znic acetate($Zn_2(CH_3COO)$)와 Titanium(IV) butoxide($Ti(OBu)_4$)를 이용하여 ZnO 나노입자를 수열합성하고 그 주의에 $TiO_2$을 가수분해 반응을 이용하여 둘러싸는 core-shell형태의 물질을 합성하였다. 그 이후 결정성 및 유기물 제거를 위해서 4시간 동안 고온에서 소성하였다. SEM 결과에 따르면 소성 온도를 600도까지 증가시키면 ZnO의 경우 나노입자의 크기가 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 하지만 core-shell의 경우는 ZnO의 뭉침현상을 $TiO_2$이 방해하여 초기합성된 크기와 동일한 크기를 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 XRD 결과에 따르면 주변에 형성된 $TiO_2$ 이외에 $Zn_2TiO_4$의 spinel 구조를 가지는 물질이 합성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 합성된 core-shell 구조의 나노입자는 약 40~50 nm의 크기를 가지고 600도에서 소성된 입자의 경우 산소 정공이 거의 없는 약 3 eV의 밴드갭을 가지는 물질로 합성이 되었다. Core-shell 나노입자의 경우 염료 감응형 태양전지의 반도체 물질로 응용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment)에서 V2V(Vehicle to Vehicle) 통신 시 OBU(On Board Unit)인 자동차 단말은 수신한 정보가 제대로 된 정보인지를 확인하는 과정에서 공인인증서가 필요하다. 동시에 자동차 단말은 이 공인인증서의 상태가 유효한 지를 확인해야 한다. 이것을 확인하는 방법은 자동차 단말이 도로변에 설치돼 있는 RSU(Road Side Unit)인 OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol) 서버에게 공인인증서의 상태 확인 요청을 하는 것이다. OCSP 서버는 자동차 단말의 요청에 응답하기 위해서 인증서 폐지 목록인 CRL(Certificate Revocation List)을 가지고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 WAVE 시스템의 OCSP 서버가 공인인증서 상태 정보를 자동차 단말로 알려줄 수 있도록 하기 위해 CA(Certificate Authority)의 CRL 저장소로부터 CRL 을 업데이트 하는 프로토콜을 제안한다. OCSP 서버가 CRL 을 업데이트 할 때, OCSP 서버가 가지고 있는 CRL 과 CRL 저장소가 가지고 있는 CRL 의 값을 비교하여 두 값이 같은 경우에는 CRL 을 업데이트 하지 않도록 한다. OCSP 서버가 선택적으로 CRL 을 업데이트 함으로써 불필요한 부하를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is (1) to empirically examine why laggards resist IT adoption in public service and (2) to investigate the relationship between resistance and negative behavioral intention. Methods: The questionnaire survey was conducted on expressway users who do not use High-pass system. The collected 232 samples were analyzed using structure equation model method with AMOS 22.0. Results: Resistance is found to be a statistically significant factor affecting intention to reject. Also, incompatibility, privacy concern, status quo inertia and relative advantage are found to be statistically significant factors affecting resistance. Conclusion: Laggards have a tendency to intend to reject IT adoption rather than to postpone. They are affected not by monetary, procedural aspect associated with purchasing or registering OBU(On Board Unit). Incompatibility and relative advantage which are inherent attributes of Hi-pass system are more influential factors than privacy concern and status quo inertia. They make ethical and emotional decision partially affected by public-social factors.

This paper presents motion planning algorithm that yields to intervening side lane vehicles in a congested traffic flow based on vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication. Autonomous driving in dense traffic situation requires advanced driving performance in terms of vehicle interaction and risk mitigation. One of the most important functions necessary for congested traffic autonomous driving is to predict the lane change intention of the side lane target vehicle. However, implementing this function by using only environmental sensors has limitations. In this study, V2V communication is used to overcome the limitations and determine the intention of cut-in vehicles. Lane change intention of the intervening side lane vehicle is inferred by its longitudinal speed, steering angle, and turn signal light information received by the on-board-unit (OBU). Once the yield decision is made, the subject vehicle decelerates to generate sufficient clearance for the target vehicle to enter. Validation of the algorithm was conducted with actual autonomous test vehicles.

We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).
