Hydrologic time series has been analyzed and forecasted by using classical linear models. However, there is growing evidence of nonlinear structure in natural phenomena and hydrologic time series associated with their patterns and fluctuations. Therefore, the classical linear techniques for time series analysis and forecasting may not be appropriate for nonlinear processes. Daily streamflow series at St. Johns river near Cocoa, Florida, USA showed an interesting result of a low dimensional, nonlinear dynamical system but daily inflow at Soyang reservoir, South Korea showed stochastic property. Based on the chaotic dynamical characteristic, DVS (deterministic versus stochastic) algorithm is used for short-term forecasting, as well as for exploring the properties of the system. In addition to the use of DVS algorithm, a neural network scheme for the forecasting of the daily streamflow series can be used and the two techniques are compared in this study. As a result, the daily streamflow which has chaotic property showed much more accurate result in short term forecasting than stochastic data.

In order to obtain more detailed information concerning the degradation of lignin in the oxygen alkali pulping single stage isothermal delignification of pine wood meal (Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.) was studied in the oxygen alkali system at five temperature level ($110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$, $140^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$) for 60 min.. The rate constant, activation energy, oxygen and alkali consumption during the oxygen alkali delignification were determined by the kinetic method. The 2/5 of total lignin was eliminated at the start of the reaction. The delignification rate constant was about 3 times that of caustic soda pulping. The activation energy was about 1/3 lower than in caustic soda pulping. Like oxygen consumption, alkali consumption was also rapid early at the reaction and almost ceased after about 10 min.. The degradation reaction of lignin was strongly dependent upon the pH decrease of the cooking liquor by organic acid generated in pulping. The lignin in the oxygen alkali pulping degraded into lover molecular weight and had more hydrophillic properties. The methoxyl group decreased considerably at the first of oxygen alkali delignification, while the carbonyl, carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl group increased rapidly.

Offshore wind power structures are subject to coastal hydrodynamic loading such as wind and wave loads. A considerable number of turbines have been installed in Europe, but so far none in Korea. Interest in offshore wind energy is growing in Korea, and it is expected that projects will reach the design stage in the near future. This paper discusses the level of structural reliability implied by the design rules of ABS(2010, 2013) and IEC(2009). Metocean conditions in 4 Korean seas(Gunsan, HeMOSU 1, Mokpo, Jeju) were used in the calibrations to calculate the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads as well as the structural responses of the typical designs of offshore wind turbines. Due to the higher variability of the wind and wave climate in hurricane-prone areas, applying IEC strength design criteria in combination with Korea west sea conditions could result in a design with much lower reliability index than what is anticipated from a design in European waters. To achieve the same level of safety as those in European waters, application of ABS 100 year design standards are recommended. Level-1 reliability-based design suitable for the Korean sea state conditions should be introduced because the IEC standards does not consider the typhoon effects in depth and the ABS standards is a WSD design method. In addition, the design equation should be established based on the statistical characteristics of the wind and wave loads of the Korean sea areas.

The reconstruction of low dimension nonlinear behavior from the hydrologic time series has been an active area of research in the last decade. In this study, we present the applications of a powerful state space reconstruction methodology using the method of Support Vector Machines (SVM) to the Great Salt Lake (GSL) volume. SVMs are machine learning systems that use a hypothesis space of linear functions in a Kernel induced higher dimensional feature space. SVMs are optimized by minimizing a bound on a generalized error (risk) measure, rather than just the mean square error over a training set. The utility of this SVM regression approach is demonstrated through applications to the short term forecasts of the biweekly GSL volume. The SVM based reconstruction is used to develop time series forecasts for multiple lead times ranging from the period of two weeks to several months. The reliability of the algorithm in learning and forecasting the dynamics is tested using split sample sensitivity analyses, with a particular interest in forecasting extreme states. Unlike previously reported methodologies, SVMs are able to extract the dynamics using only a few past observed data points (Support Vectors, SV) out of the training examples. Considering statistical measures, the prediction model based on SVM demonstrated encouraging and promising results in a short-term prediction. Thus, the SVM method presented in this study suggests a competitive methodology for the forecast of hydrologic time series.

A new horizontal neutron reflectometer has been designed and now under construction at the HANARO, 30 MW research reactor, in Daejon, Korea. We performed simulations of neutron ray-tracing to evaluate the performance of all of the optical components of the instrument with a Monte Carlo technique using McStas. The feasible wavelength of the incident neutron beam is $2.5{\AA}$. It produces a q-range up to $0.126{\AA}^{-1}$ with a supermirror as a deflector. Our studies showed improvement of the performance of the guide tube and monochromators. Although the performance is limited in q-range, it promises to be the first reflectometer in Korea for the study of free surfaces, which is currently in demand.

In this study, the seismic vulnerability of public river levees was analyzed quantitatively. Input seismic waves were generated in Pohang seismic waves in return periods of 200, 500, 1000, and 2400 years. The behavior of the levee was analyzed by seismic vulnerability analysis according to the return period. The displacement that occurs during an earthquake showed the same tendency as the input seismic wave and was largest in the return period of 2400 years. An analysis of the sliding stability revealed a 31.5% and 26.7% decrease in the sliding safety factor for the return period of 2400 for the landside and waterside, respectively. An examination of liquefaction by the q/p' ratio showed that the seepage line inside the embankment rises due to earthquakes. As a result, in the case of a return period of 2400 years, most embankments generate liquefaction, making them vulnerable to earthquakes. Through this research, it will be necessary to re-establish domestic seismic-design standards and establish clear standards for the results through a dynamics method.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy는 개인용컴퓨터가 보급되고, 저잡음 아날로그 칩들을 구할 수 있으며, 압전세라믹 기술이 발달하기 시작한 1981년 스위스 IBM Zurich 연구소에서 H. Rohrer와 G. Binnig 박사에 의하여 발명되었다. 이 발명 7~8년 이전 미국 표준연구원의 R. Young 박사도 비슷한 시도를 하였지만, 이 때는 제어할 수 있는 컴퓨터가 없었고, 조절 회로의 잡음 레벨도 컸으며, 역학적 진동도 커서 목적을 달성할 수 없었다. STM의 발명 후 32년이 지난 지금, 조절용 컴퓨터의 발전은 물론, 조절용 역되먹임 회로 또한 digital signal processor나 FPGA를 사용하는 형태로 변화하여 전기적 잡음도 현저히 감소하였다 [1,2]. 동시에 측정 에너지 해상도를 개선하기 위하여 세계적으로 여러 그룹이 장치를 1 K 이하에서 작동할 수 있게 제작하였고, 0.3 K에서 작동하는 상업용 제품도 등장하였다. 이 결과 에너지 해상도는 30 meV 에서 2~3 ${\mu}eV$ 감소하였고, 온도변화에 따른 측정 위치의 변화도 피할 수 있게 되었다. 터널링 검침의 화학적 성분을 흡착과 같은 방법으로 조절하여, 공간 해상도는 물론 에너지 해상도도 더욱 줄일 수 있게 되었고, 스핀에 민감한 터널링 제어도 가능하게 되었다. 이제는 금속, 반도체, 초전도체는 물론 분자, 거대분자, 나노 크기의 양자점등도 측정이 가능하게 되었다. 분자진동 측정이 가능하며, 분자의 성분 분석이 가능하게 되었고, 스핀의 전도와 관련된 제반 문제들을 연구할 수 있게 되었다. 지금부터 10년 동안에는 포논의 측정과 전자와 포논 exciton 등이 관여된 다체계 현상, 이들의 동역학적 현상이 측정 가능하게 되었다. 핵자기 공명도 시도되고 있으며 화학적 구명 및 원자들 사이의 결합도 측정 가능하게 될 것이다. 이제 STM은 초고 진공에서 작동하는 Atomic Force Microscopy와 함께 지금까지 고체물리학 실험 장치가 만들어 내지 못하던 새로운 결과를 도출해 낼 것으로 기대한다.

The structural response of naval surface ships subjected to underwater shock loadings is a very important problem in viewpoint ship survivability. In practice, among others the case of noncontact underwater explosions is the only one shock loading considered in designing naval surface ships to resist underwater explosions. In orator to efficiently design naval surface ships and their equipment to resist such shock loadings it seems necessary to prepare theoretical analysis tools and/or empirical design criteria which can predict the three dimensional transmission of shock waves. This paper describes a simplified method to analyse shock responses for ship hull girder, which uses a loading function to approximate the shock loadings on ship structures due to noncontact underwater explosions. A couple of examples to apply this method are provided.

In this paper it is reported that a comprehensive study of the crystal structure of the fine size S-phase ($Al_2CuMg$) precipitate in Al-Cu-Mg alloy by electron diffraction experiments. The experiments involve taking the selected area diffraction pattern for a S-phase particle, simulations of the pattern based on the kinematical diffraction theory and quantitative data collection from the zone axis diffraction patterns for the comparison with calculated diffraction intensity using both the kinematical and the dynamical diffraction theory. As a result, a good fitting model of the S-phase structure turns out to be the model reported early by X-ray methods (Perlitz & Westgren, 1943), not the new model determined by HRTEM methods (Radmilovic et al., 1999).

To measure elastic properties of semiconducting materials in power cable, we have investigated modulus of EVA/acetylene black composite showed by changing the content of acetylene black. The specimen was primarily kneaded in material samples of pellet form for 5 minutes on rollers ranging between 70[$^{\circ}C$] and 100[$^{\circ}C$]. Then this was produced as sheets after pressing for 20 minutes at 180[$^{\circ}C$] with a pressure of 200[kg/cm]. The contents of conductive acetylene black were 20, 30 and 40[wt%], respectively. The modulus experiment was measured by DMA 2980. The ranges of measurement temperature were from -50[$^{\circ}C$] to 100[$^{\circ}C$] and measurement frequency is 1[Hz]. The modulus of specimens was increased according to an increment of acetylene black content. And modulus was rapidly decreased at the glass transition temperature. The tan$\delta$ of specimens was decreased according to an increment of acetylene black content.
