Changes in Thermal Stress in Korea Using Climate-Based Indicators: Present-Day and Future Projections from 1 km High Resolution Scenarios.

Among the various thermal stress indices, apparent temperature (AT) is closely related to public health indicators, and consequently is widely used by weather agencies around the world. Therefore, in this paper we estimate the changes in AT and contributing components in Korea as a whole and in five major cities (Seoul, Gwanju, Daegu, Daejeon, and Busan) using national standard climate scenarios based on the coupled model inter-comparison project (CMIP6). In the present day, high AT occurs in major cities due to high temperature (TAS) and relative humidity (RH).

Present-day and future projection of East Asian summer monsoon in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 simulations.

The East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) is an influential monsoon system that provides two-thirds of the annual precipitation in the Asian region. Therefore, considerable attention has been paid to the changes in future climate. Thus far, studies on EASM characteristics have not been conducted considering specific global warming level (GWL) using Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 6 (CMIP6) simulations.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation on the Surface Defect Generation during the Hot Extrusion of Al6063 Alloy.

The surface quality control of extruded products is a critical concern in the home appliance manufacturing industry owing to the increasing need for products with a high surface quality, in addition to the essential mechanical properties of the final product. The underlying issue with achieving high-quality extrusion products is that surface defects, especially those resulting in surface gloss differences, called white line defects, are only observed after surface treatment. In this study, we aim to investigate the cause of white line defect generation on the surface of an extruded product.
