In this blog post, we will summarize the concept of Hydrocode, its differences from general CFD, as well as real-world application examples and research trends. The Role of Computer Simulation Computer simulation plays a crucial role when attempting to quantitatively analyze a phenomenon from a thermal and fluid dynamics perspective. In the past, physical test facilities such as wind...
In this blog post, we’ll explore the history, core technologies, and commercialization trends of HMD (head-mounted display) technology. In a scene from the recent hit movie ‘Kingsman’, the protagonist wears special glasses that allow him to see other people in an empty conference room. These glasses can be seen as an example of augmented reality, which overlays virtual...
In this blog post, we’ll use a scene from the movie *Minority Report* as a starting point to examine the convenience offered by dynamic UIs like g-speak, as well as the problems they can cause. What are dynamic UIs and g-speak? In the movie “Minority Report,” the scene where the protagonist wears a glove and analyzes footage by touching a screen floating in the air left a strong impression...
In this blog post, I will summarize the spread of GMOs, the pros and cons of the debate, their potential risks, and the reasons for opposing their commercialization. 1. The Spread of GMOs and Related Concerns Genes are the units that carry information about an organism’s unique characteristics—such as its form, color, and properties—and pass them on to the next generation. Genetic...
In this blog post, we’ll take a calm, objective look at both the benefits of GMOs and the practical, long-term risks—such as allergies, gene transfer, interspecies hybridization, and superweeds—using concrete examples and evidence. What Are GMOs? Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms in which specific genes have been altered in ways that do not occur naturally, or into which...
In this blog post, we’ll continue the urgent discussion by summarizing key issues ranging from allergies, toxicity, and antibiotic resistance associated with GMOs to gene flow and their agricultural and economic impacts. Why Are GMOs an Issue Right Now? Recently, a consumer group held a press conference urging a halt to imports due to concerns over GMO contamination, demonstrating that...
In this blog post, I aim to summarize common concerns about GMOs and the ongoing debate from a scientific perspective. What Are GMOs, and Why Does the Debate Continue? GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) refer to crops or organisms that possess traits or genes difficult to obtain through conventional breeding methods, created using genetic recombination technology. They are typically...
In this blog post, I will summarize the background and current state of the GMO industry, its pros and cons, and how our society should respond. What Is the GMO Industry and Why Is It Important? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, referring to organisms created by inserting or removing specific genes using genetic engineering technology. South Korea’s food safety laws also define...
In this blog post, I will summarize the controversy surrounding the harmfulness of GMOs (genetically modified foods) and some key examples. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are genetically modified agricultural products. Generally, they refer to crops developed using genetic engineering technology to possess traits or genes that are difficult to obtain through conventional breeding...
In this blog post, we will examine the current state of affairs, the issues at hand, and possible solutions regarding how GMOs are drifting away from their original goal of solving the food crisis. The nickname “Frankenfood” is a portmanteau of the monster ‘Frankenstein’ from the British novel and the word “food,” referring to GMOs (genetically modified organisms), which emerged in the...
