Mullite and cordierite, which were stable oxides having excellent thermal and chemical characteristics, were widely used as an engineering and electronic materials. However, thermal shock resistance of the mullite was detriorated, and strength of the cordierite was also reduced at high temperatures. The mullite-cordierite composite powders were synthesized for solving these problems in this study. The mullite-cordierite composite powders were manufactured by the solution-polymerization method using mixtures of fused silica, aluminium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, and PVA. Crystallinity, phase formation, density, and surface area of the synthesis powders were characteristics. Fine mullite-cordlerite composite powders were successfully synthesized at 1300$^{\circ}C$ and their surface areas were about 20㎡/g after planetary milling for 1h. With increasing the milling time, surface area increased to 23 ㎡/g for 4h ana 24㎡/g for 8h.

The Green Wall system, developed in Austria early 1960, is one of segmental concrete crib type earth retaining wall. Green wall is constructed as procedures that lay the front stretchers, rear stretchers and headers then making a rigid body through harden filled soil of interior cell. Green wall has pro-environmental advantages that able to grow grass in front space of stretchers and decrease cutting ground. In Europe, Green wall used without other reinforcement method. However, green wall used with other reinforcement method like a soil nailing because of environmental problem. This study was performed to introduce the design case by 'Two-Body Translation mechanism' to be able to consider distribution of earth pressure in the soil nailing when designing the green wall using soil nailing system. Also, this study attempts to evaluate the earth pressure change when advanced soil nailing system is constructed using $FLAC^{2D}$ ver. 3.30 program and 'Two-Body Translation mechanism'.

This paper presents a fuzzy neural network model which solves the underutilization problem. This fuzzy neural network has both stability and flexibility because it uses the control structure similar to AHT(Adaptive Resonance Theory)-l neural network. And this fuzzy nenral network does not need to initialize weights and is less sensitive to noise than ART-l neural network is. The learning rule of this fuzzy neural network is the modified and fuzzified version of Kohonen learning rule and is based on the fuzzification of leaky competitive leaming and the fuzzification of conditional probability. The similarity measure of vigilance test, which is performed after selecting a winner among output neurons, is the relative distance. This relative distance considers Euclidean distance and the relative location between a datum and the prototypes of clusters. To compare the performance of the proposed fuzzy neural network with that of Kohonen Self-Organizing Feature Map the IRIS data and Gaussian-distributed data are used.

The technical requirements to the propellant of rocket engine using chemical energy are developed from the point of its performance, design and the exploration. The propellant, i.e. to get higher energy, to increase the cooling effect, and to be used in safety and comfort should be made. So from these aspect the technical requirements were written by the factors of physical chemistry. And the propellant combination used recently in Launch vehicles is liquid Oxygen and Kerosene, the main characteristics of this Kerosene as a fuel were reviewed. The toxicity and the safety of Kerosene, in specially, require the attention of the users. Also, it would be used in the development of Korean Kerosene by the comparative review of the several Kerosenes in Abroad.

It is essential to understand the hydraulic characteristics in accordance with the changes in the river environment and operating hydraulic structures for increasing flood-control capacity. The objective of this study is to analysis the effect of dredging and operation of weirs on hydraulic characteristics in Nakdong River(Seongju~Imhaejin). HEC-RAS model has been used to examine the hydraulic characteristics with considering the flow transition through the unsteady flow analysis and the information about the specifications of multi-functional weirs. The relationship between Manning n and roughness height k, the effect of weir installation and operation on the flow and stage, and the bed change resulted from the river treatment project have been examined by steady and unsteady flow analysis. It is expected that the result from this study can be the basic data for the river treatment and management.

Recently, Vecna BEAR type robot to save injured individuals from inaccessible areas has been developed to minimize the loss of life. Because this robot is driven on rough terrain, there is a risk of rollover and vibration, which could impact the injured. In order to guarantee its stability, an algorithm is required that can estimate the speed limits for various environments in real time. Therefore, a dynamic model for real-time analysis is needed for this algorithm. Because the tracks used as the driving component of Vecna BEAR type robot consist of many parts, it is impossible to analyze the multibody tracks in real time. Thus, a lumped track model that satisfies the requirements of a short computation time and adequate accuracy is required. This study performed lumped track modeling, and the traction force was verified using RecurDyn, which is a dynamic commercial program.

Dehydrogenation from the hydrolysis of a sodium borohydride ($NaBH_4$) solution has been of interest owing to its high theoretical hydrogen storage capacity (10.8 wt.％) and potentially safe operation. An experimental study has been performed on the catalytic reaction rate and pressure drop of a $NaBH_4$ solution over both a single microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of $300{\mu}m$ and a staggered array of micro pin fins in the microchannel with hydraulic diameter of $50{\mu}m$. The catalytic reaction rates and pressure drops were obtained under Reynolds numbers from 1 to 60 and solution concentrations from 5 to 20 wt.％. Moreover, reacting flows were visualized using a high-speed camera with a macro zoom lens. As a result, both the amount of hydrogenation and pressure drop are 2.45 times and 1.5 times larger in a pin fin microchannel array than in a single microchannel, respectively.

In the grassland ecosystem dominated by Phragmites longivalvis in the delta of Nak Dong River, the production, decomposition, and accumulation of organic were estimated by the theoretical analysis. The amounts of organic carbon and organic matter of litter are $1020.43g/m^2\;and\;591.90g/m^2$, respectively. The amounts of organic matter and organic carbon on the grassland floor is $1154.96g/m^2\;and\;669.93g/m^2$, the ratio of annual litter production 'L' to the amount of accumulation on the top mineral soil (F, H and $A_2$ horizons) provided estimates of decay constant k. Constant k is 0.884 in the Phragmites longivalvis community. The vertical levels of organic matter and organic carbon is the highest in 120-140 cm of photosythetic system and in 0-20 cm of non-photosyntic system.

In this paper we present a projection mapping system onto human's moving hand by a projector as information delivery media and Kinect to recognize hand motion. Most traditional projection mapping techniques project a variety of images onto stationary objects, however, our system provides new user experience by projecting images onto the center of the moving palm. We explain development process of the system, and production of content as applications on our system. We propose hardware organization and development process of open software architecture based on object oriented programming approach. For stable image projection, we describe a device calibration method between the projector and Kinect in three dimensional space, and a denoising technique to minimize artifacts from Kinect coordinates vibration and unstable hand tremor.

In this paper, for enhancement of property on a-Si:H TFTs We measure interface characteristics of ferroelectrics thin film and a-Si:H thin film. First, SrTiO$_3$ thin film is deposited bye-beam evaporation. Deposited films are annealed for 1 hour in N2 ambient at 150$^{\circ}C$ ∼ 600$^{\circ}C$. Dielectric characteristics of deposited SrTiO$_3$ films are very good because dielectric constant shows 50∼100 and breakdown electric field are 1∼1.5MV/cm. a-SiN:H,a-Si:H(n-type a-Si:H) are deposited onto SrTiO$_3$ film to make MFNS(Metal/ferroelectric/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) by PECVD. After the C-V measurement for interface characteristics, MFNS structure shows no difference with MNS(Metal/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) structure in C-V characteristics but the insulator capacitance value of MFNS structure is much higher than the MNS because of high dielectric constant of ferroelectrics.
