Non-residents are prohibited from entering the building. Except in exceptional circumstance, enter a building other than your own is prohibited. - Building hours are 05:00 ~ 24:00. Curfew is 24:00, thus entering or exiting the building after 24:00 is prohibited. All buildings are controlled by an automated entrance & exit control system, thus students must use their individual entrance security card when entering. ※ Entrance Security Card (Automated Entrance & Exit Control System) Students need to use their individual entrance security card when entering the building. Entrance cards will only work for their own building. Placing the entrance card approximately two to five centimeters over the card reader located near the door will open the door. Entrance security cards are assigned to each student with a unique serial number. Transferring or lending cards is prohibited. Students will be punished with demerit points if found doing so. Students must have their entrance card reissued from the administration office of Biho Dormitory immediately if lost. The replacement fee is 10,000 won, thus students must be careful not to lose their cards. If an entrance card becomes unreadable or the door will not open, students must notify the International House Manager’s Office on the first floor or relevant dormitory assistant. The replacement fee does not apply to cards that have become unreadable. Entrance security cards must be returned when vacating the dormitory. If students do not return their entrance card, they may not reapply to reside in the dormitory. 8 2) Notes related to theft and incidents of loss - Students are responsible for their own cash or personal valuables and even though they leave the room for a short time to a close place, they must lock the door. In particular, students should be careful while moving into and out of the dormitory residence since many theft incidents have happened when moving. - To prevent theft, security cameras have been installed at the 1st Floor entrance and exit doors and are set to record around the clock. - If students are found to be guilty of theft, the guilty party cannot reside in the dormitory during their time at Daegu University and their case will be transferred to the punishment committee. ※ Note: Life in the dormitory is regulated by a demerit

Ltd., Korea INTRODUCTION South Korea experienced its biggest earthquake in recent history on September 12, 2016. The Gyeongju earthquake of magnitude (Mw) 5.4 has initiated a significant activity in the area of seismic safety for nuclear power plants. Initial reports indicate that the nature of this earthquake is similar to the recent findings from geophysical investigations in Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), i.e., the earthquake ground motions contain not only the low frequency content but also some high frequency content. As is the case with most of the nuclear plants in CEUS, the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) for most of the Korean plants have only low frequency content (below 10 Hz). Therefore, the nuclear plants in Korea are beginning to conduct a detailed seismic safety assessment of their structures, systems, and components (SSC). In the context of seismic safety assessment, high frequency motions are not likely to cause damage to structural systems as the displacements associated with such motions are relatively very small. Yet, past experience around the world has shown that electrical instruments such as relays, breakers, and contact switches can exhibit loss of functionality due to high frequency motions.

    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

On September 12, 2016, earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.1 and 5.8 consecutively occurred in Gyeongju. 14 months later, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 occurred in Pohang, about 30 km away from Gyeongju, on November 15, 2017. This study investigated the change in the indoor radon concentrations before and after earthquakes to identify if there is any pattern between them and found an interesting pattern. Prior to earthquakes, radon anomalies, which are radon concentration deviating by more than ±2σ from the seasonal average, was usually identified. When 5.0 or greater magnitude earthquakes occurred, the indoor radon concentrations decreased sharply a few days before them, and then continuously increased until the occurrence of the earthquake.

  • A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility
    sustainability Article A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility Doyeon Lee and Keunhwan Kim * Division of Data Analysis, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), 66, Hoegi-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02456, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Korea is moving to establish a national industry strategy to reduce regional inequalities within the country through the Green New Deal. Thus, it is important to closely integrate the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the Green New Deal with that of reducing deepening regional inequality from the Regionally Balanced New Deal. To accomplish these dual aims, this study provides a collaborative trans-regional R&D strategy and a precise framework with three key dimensions: regional, technological, and organizational. We demonstrate that future mobility is the most important project of the Green New Deal, comprising 1963 nationally funded projects worth USD 1285.4 million. We also illustrate the level of government investment in nationally funded research projects related to future mobility for 17 different regions and seven different technology clusters related to future mobility, and determine which research organizations played an important role in each cluster for all 17 regions between 2015 and 2020. Our results indicate that the capital region and Daejeon have high innovation capability in many future mobility-related research fields, whereas some regions have capabilities in specific research fields such as hydrogen infrastructure, indicating their relative competitiveness.
