A laboratory experiment was made of critical transition flow modes in Czocllralski convection. Numerical computation was also made to delineate the dynamic transition. The period of temperature oscillation ($t_p$) and the interval of temperature oscillation ($\Delta\theta$) were scrutinized to capture the critical transition regime. The mixed convection parameter was varied in the range of $0.134\le Ra/PrRe^2 \le3.804$. The data from calculation were in good agreement with ones from experiment. The influence of the Prandtl number on the transition was examined for Pr ＝ 910, 4445 and 8889. To understand the transition mechanism, the detailed temperature oscillation modes, the isolines of meridional temperature and the axial velocity profiles were investigated.

Effective handover decision is important for providing seamless services to mobile users. In this paper, we propose an analysis framework to evaluate the performance of handover decision based on received signal strength (RSS) measurements in terms of the late notification and false alarm probability. In our framework, we consider mobility of a mobile user, signaling delays for exchanging messages related to handover protocols, cell sizes and RSS measurement interval to stabilize RSS reading due to random measurement errors. By quantitatively scrutinizing the impact of each parameter on the late notification and false alarms, we suggest the research directions for effective handover decision mechanism that may provide fast and reliable handover.

The objective of this paper is to examine the determinants of technology transfer for Small and Medium Enterprises. Based on IP-MARKET, KIPRIS, and Wintelips, we employ the logistic regression analysis using all data related with technology transfer in markets for intellectual property rights from 2008 through 2012. Our main results are as followings: (i)the more inventors the higher possibility; and (ii)the more claims and forwards the higher possibility of success in technology transfer in Small and Medium Enterprises.

In general, a sintered rod is used as a feed in the growth of crystals by the floating zone(FZ) method. The sintering condition of the feed rod affected the stability of molten zone because it influenced the interface shape between the feed and the melt during the crystal growth. In this study, rutile and ruby crystals were chosen as samples to analyze the effect of the microstructures of the feed rods. In sintering of the feed rod for the growth of rutile and ruby single crystals, the difference of grain size between the inner and the outer region of the feed rod increased with the sintering temperature and dwelling time. As a result, it altered melting behavior of the feed. The uniform grain size of the sintered rod was necessary for the optimum growing condition of crystals. The effect of pores in the feed rod was not a dominant factor to grow crystals by the FZ method, which was confirmed by growing crystals with nonsinterd rods as feeds.

In this study, numerical analysis is performed to determine highly influential factors that increase the possibility of asphalt road collapse due to cavity underneath the road. The considered influence factors on road collapse due to underground cavity were the asphalt layer thickness, the cover depth, the cavity width, and the cavity height. The concentrated load and uniform distributed pressure were applied on the top surface of asphalt pavement layers with different shape of cavity and asphalt thickness. For each analysis case of given cavity and asphalt thickness, failure load was analyzed under displacement controlled condition. Based on the analyzed failure loads, the applicability of the cavity management system developed by Seoul city was evaluated. As a result of the analysis, the effect of cavity height on road collapse was not significant while the other factors considerably influenced road collapse. Consequently, degree of road collapse susceptibility should be classified by failure load rather than by the condition of existing cavity.

As construction projects have been extremely enormous, complex and special, risk factors have been increased consistently. Therefore, it is very important to identify and cope with the uncertain risk factors in such building constructions for successful project accomplishment. The purpose of this research is to approach practical affairs directly and show detail alternatives of risk factors by extracting the risk factors throughout construction process of curtain wall that is largely influenced on cost, quality, schedule ,safety and following activity. Also, extracting these risk factors make it possible to analyze quantitative risk and decide the priority raking of risk factors. Especially, this research is aimed to provide efficient management of scheduling risk that can make the risk minimize to practical workers who have different degree of knowledge and experience to the construction cite when the risk brings out suddenly.

Groundwater level (GWL) fluctuation, which can occur due to several artificial and natural reasons, causes reduction of bearing capacity of foundation structures and can lead settlement of ground. As a result, GWL fluctuation affects stability and serviceability of entire building. However, in many case, GWL is considered as fixed value that obtain from geotechnical investigations. That is reason that GWL fluctuation is considered as area of non-geotechnical engineering. In present study, factors causing GWL fluctuation were analyzed at urban and rural area as preliminary research of quantification of GWL fluctuation. GWL varies according to hydrological and geographical characteristics. Also, the influence factors are largely affected by hydrological and geographical characteristics.

The separation and purification of succinate are necessary for the succinic acid production by a fermentation process. Among the purification processes, desalination of succinate is inevitable. In this work, electrodialysis was selected as a desalination method and its operating parameters affecting the degree of desalination and energy consumption were examined. Commercialized electrodialysis apparatus was used in this work and its optimum operating parameters were determined by using design of experiment (DOE) method. Voltage, concentration of succinate, and pH were selected as main parameters. Among them, voltage seemed to be the most important one. The final conversion of succinate to succinic acid was calculated when the operating parameters were optimized. Finally, the effect of impurities, such as corn steep oil, yeast extract, and dextrose on the electrodialysis efficiency was also studied.

Groundwater flow in fracture networks is simulated using a discrete fracture (DF) model which assume that groundwater flows only through the fracture network. This assumption is available if the permeability of rock matrix is very low. It is almost impossible to describe fracture networks perfectly, so a stochastic approach is used. The stochastic approach assumes that the characteristic parameters in fracture network have special distribution patterns. The stochastic model generates fracture networks with some characteristic parameters. The finite element method is used to compute fracture flows. One-dimensional line element is the element type of the finite elements. The simulation results are shown by dominant flow paths in the fracture network. The dominant flow path can be found from the simulated groundwater flow field. The model developed in this study provides the tool to estimate the influences of characteristic parameters on groundwater flow in fracture networks. The influences of some characteristic parameters on the frcture flow are estimated by the Monte Carlo simulation based on 30 realizations.

유역의 형상은 강우, 산사태 등과 같은 지배적인 침식작용과 더불어 지형 지질학적 요인들에 의해 결정되어 진다. 그러므로 유역형상에 대한 공간특성 분석을 위해서는 지형학적 요인과 다양한 침식작용에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 국내 외 많은 연구결과에 의하면 지형학적 인자에 의한 침식 형태는 국부경사와 집수면적의 크기에 의해 다양한 구간으로 나뉘며, 그 특성에 따라 지표침식, 세굴, 산사태 등으로 구분되는 것으로 연구된 바 있다. 일례로 유역 내 세굴과 관련된 지배인자는 집수면적보다는 국부경사에 반대로 지표침식, 산사태는 국부경사보다는 집수면적의 크기에 따라 영향을 받는다. 따라서 지형학적 인자(국부경사, 집수면적)의 임계치(threshold) 산출을 통해 침식특성(불안정지역)을 검토할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 물리적 검증은 여러 연구를 통해 물질플럭스(유량, 에너지)에 대한 Power Law로써 검증된바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지형학적 침식특성 분석을 위하여 2006년 집중호우에 의해 광역적 산사태가 발생한 강원도 평창군 진부면 일대의 $10m{\times}10m$ DEM로부터 국부경사, 집수면적을 산출하고 경사-면적한계곡선(Slope-Area Threshold Curve, SATC), 배수면적 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Drain Areas Curve, PDAC), 에너지지수 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Energy Index Curve, PEIC)를 실제 산사태지점과 중첩하여 도시하였다. 그 결과, 특정 임계구간(Threshold Area, Unstable area, 2~3권역)내에서 산사태 발생지점이 분포하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 통해 지형학적 인자만을 고려하여 미계측 유역에 대한 잠재적 불안정지역의 판별이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 추후 광역적 사면안정해석에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
