  • Current Status and Prospect of Virtual Reality Contents in Korean Ancient History
    Current Status and Prospect of Virtual Reality Contents in Korean Ancient History Hee-Soo, Choi Department of History Content, Sangmyung University, Seoul, Republic of Korea Abstract. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current state of virtual reality content in Korea and to look into future prospects. A number of virtual reality contents have been produced and contributed to some of the public's interest in historical culture. However, there are some limitations in improving the historical imagination pursued in history. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to create and utilize experience contents using the metaverse concept. 1. Introduction Virtual reality (VR) means a specific environment or situation, or technology itself, that is similar to the reality created by artificial technology using computers, but is not actual. At this time, the created virtual (imagined) environment or situation stimulates the user's five senses and makes the user experience a spatial and temporal experience similar to reality, thereby freely bringing the boundary between reality and imagination. Users can not only simply immerse themselves in virtual reality, but they can also interact with things implemented in virtual reality, such as manipulating or commanding them using real devices. In addition, virtual reality is distinguished from a one-sided simulation in that it can interact with users and create user experience. Virtual reality contents are contents created by utilizing this virtual reality technology. This content enhances the understanding of the object by letting people’s experience elements that are not experienced in the real world. Especially, since it can inform the past history and culture that can not be experienced by modern people through virtual reality, it is widely used in historical contents.

O. Box 138, Huye, Republic of Rwanda. Received 18 September, 2015; Accepted 16 October, 2015 Soil insects are a major source of crop loss in tropical, subtropical and temperate zones. Many soil insecticides are either/or highly toxic to humans, have serious other non-target effects, or are a banned from use nationally or internationally. An alternative strategy is the use of beneficial (entomopathogenic) nematodes as they are well-adapted to the soil environment and non-toxic. However, the establishment of locally adapted mass production systems for beneficial nematodes requires considerable technological development effort and time.

  • Writing on the Wall
    WRITING ON THE WALL By Julie An A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE PROFESSIONAL Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Julie An ABSTRACT The Korean Demilitarized Zone, or the DMZ, serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. The DMZ is a four-kilometer-wide, 250 kilometers long, heavily militarized, de facto border. It is a physical metaphor of the aggression and conflict the two countries still share, and is host to tourists from all over the world who come to experience this unique sight seeing destination. The role of architecture in the temporal context of the DMZ will be to create a space for North, South and outsider (tourist) interaction in a Jimjilbang Observatory sited on the Military Demarcation Line to infiltrate the DMZ under the façade of a tourist destination, where visitors can stop and experience the ultimate form of Korean leisure. Jimjilbangs are Korea’s 24-hour bathhouse and reflective of South Korea’s rise from a country oppressed by decades of colonization and war to one of the wealthiest countries in Asia. ii To those who helped me through and will never read it, and to those who have.

Farming, which is supposed to support the people, becomes the main frontline where they risk their lives. It’s time for the rice planting battle again and residents are dragging themselves to farms with a sigh of dismay. All family members, from little students to parents, become combatants in the farm mobilization combat. With more than 80% of the population assisting in farming, total crop yields still fall short of total rations. We hope that South and North Korea can cooperate and resolve the issues in the near future.
