갈바륨 도금강판은 알루미늄의 우수한 차폐 특성과 내열성, 열 반사성을 가지며 아연의 희생방식 특성을 겸비하여 동일 부착량의 용융 아연도금 및 알루미늄 도금강판에 비해 우수한 내식성을 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 또한 이것은 표면이 미려하고 경제성이 높아 건자재 용도로 현재까지도 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 여기서 지칭하는 바륨 도금강판(galvalume steel)은 아연과 알루미늄 도금강판의 장점을 접목하기 위해 55 Al-43.4 Zn-1.6 Si (wt.%)로 구성되어 개발된 3원계 성분의 합금도금강판이다. 한편, 최근에는 강재의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 연구 결과에 의해 Zn-Al-Mg의 3원계 합금도금강판도 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 이것은 기존의 아연도금 강판 보다 10배 정도의 우수한 내식성을 나타내는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 특히, 이것은 도금된 평판부의 내식성은 물론 절단된 도금 단면부의 내식성도 매우 우수하다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 상기한 갈바륨 도금강판의 경우에는 도금된 표면부에 비해 단면부의 내식성이 상대적으로 취약한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 갈바륨 도금강판의 내식성을 종합적으로 향상시키기 위하여 이 갈바륨 도금강판 상에 PVD 스퍼터링법에 의해 Mg 코팅막의 제작을 시도하였다. 여기서 Mg 코팅막은 후처리 된 갈바륨 도금강판 상에 Ar 공정압력 2 및 20 mTorr 조건 중 1.5 및 $3{\mu}m$ 두께로 제작하였다. 또한 제작한 코팅막에 대해서는 모폴로지 관찰(SEM) 및 결정구조 분석(XRD)을 하였고, 분극측정, 염수분무 시험(SST) 및 복합부식 시험(CCT)에 의해 표면 및 단면부의 내식성평가를 수행하였다. 또한 여기서는 염수분무 및 복합부식 시험 후의 시험편도 채취 하여 표면 및 단면부위에 대한 원소조성 분석(EPMA)과 결정구조 분석(XRD)을 실시하였다. 이상의 실험 결과에 의하면, 본 실험에서 제작한 Mg 코팅막은 그 두께가 두꺼울수록 표면 Mg 결정립의 크기가 증가하였고, 그 부식속도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 여기서는 공정압력이 높은 조건에서 제작한 막일수록 Mg(002)면 피크 강도가 감소하고 Mg(101)면 피크의 배향성이 증가하였다. 그때 그 막의 내식성은 향상되는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 종합적으로 염수분무 및 복합부식 시험 결과에 의하면 Mg이 코팅된 갈바륨 도금강판은 기존 갈바륨 도금강판 보다 내식성이 현저히 향상되었다. 특히, 단면부 내식성의 경우에는 기존 대비 5배 이상 향상되는 경향을 나타내었다. 여기서 단면부 내식특성 분석을 위한 EPMA 원소조성 분석 결과에 의거하면, 부식 초기에는 마그네슘의 부식생성물에 의해 단면부가 치밀하게 보호되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 이후에는 부식이 지속적으로 진행됨에 따라 갈바륨 도금층에서 용출된 알루미늄 및 아연 성분이 마그네슘과 함께 치밀한 부식생성물을 형성하여 단면부를 차폐함에 따라 단면부의 내식성이 크게 향상된 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 부식생성물의 결정구조 분석 결과에 따르면, 염수분무와 복합부식 시험에서는 공통적으로 MgO, $Mg(OH)_2$ 이외에도 Simonkolleite상 등이 형성되었다. 또한 건-습 반복 부식시험인 복합부식시험 후에는 $Mg_5(CO_3)_4(OH)_24H_2O$(Hydromagnesite)상 등이 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 본 실험에서 후처리된 갈바륨 도금강판 상에 제작한 마그네슘 코팅막의 경우에는 상기와 같은 다양한 부식반응에 의해 표면 및 단면부에 형성된 Mg계 부식생성물과 $Zn_5(OH)_8Cl_2H_2O$(Simonkolleite)상에 의해서 표면은 물론 단면부 내식성이 크게 향상된 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to analyze the water consumption in closed transplants production system (CTPS) for the production of quality transplants and to investigate the effect of relative humidity on the water balance in CTPS. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Dejima) plug seedlings were grown for 15 days at air temperature of 20$^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 70%, photoperiod of 16/8 h, and photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of 200 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-l}$ following rooting for 5 days in CTPS. Amount of humidified, dehumidified, irrigated and evapotranspirated water were 67.9 kg${\cdot}m^{-2},\;196.9{\cdot}m^{-2},\;44.3\;kg{\cdot}m^{-2},\;33.5\;kg{\cdot}m^{-2}$, respectively. Water content of media and plants were 1.2 kg${\cdot}m^{-2},\;6.9\;kg{\cdot}m^{-2}$, respectively. Three relative humidity levels of 60, 70, and 80% were provided to analyze the effect of humidity on the water balance in CTPS. Amount of humidified, dehumidified, irrigated, evapotranspiratad water and water contents of media and plants increased with increasing relative humidity. Since the water consumption required to produce plug seedlings in CTPS dec1eased with decreasing relative humidity, the available water utilization efficiency of CTPS increased with decreasing relative humidity. CTPS showed high available water utilization efficiency of 0.92 - 0.97 if dehumidified water in CTPS was recycled. The development of CTPS with recycling system of dehumidified water will not only reduce the water consuming for the production of transplants but contribute to the establishment of plant production economizing in water consumption.

This is a research on development of water purification equipment called artificial floating island (=AFI) for the stagnant water area which can secure exuberant landscape and water-friendility. The equipment devised in this study is designed to make up the weakness of conventional AFIs and improves the removal efficiency of pollutants using the mixture of media and plants. The air compressor positioned at the inlet releases air with inflow continuously, the water pump at the outlet sprays as a form of fountain with causing a disturbance on stable water column, then, both of them contribute improvement of water quality over a large area. We applied Bio-stone as a media in this system and performed an experiment of pre-efficiency test, and we concluded that the higher pollutants concentration of inflow, the higher removal efficiency we obtained. At the result of lab-scale experiment, in the case of high-concentration inflow, in the removal efficiency of SS is 62.2%, BOD is 50.2%, COD is 55.1%, T-N is 31.6%, T-P is 38.4%. In addition, to evaluate the field application, we set up the facilities in Sin-gal lake located in Yongin-Si Gyeonggi-Do, and researched on the removal efficiency of outflow relative to the inflow. As a result, SS is 53.5%, BOD is 32.8%, COD is 36.9%, T-N is 22.6%, T-N is 33.2%.

This paper describes scheduling algorithms of the UNIX operating system and shows an analytical approach to approximate the average conditional response time for a process in the UNIX operating system. The average conditional response time is the average time between the submittal of a process requiring a certain amount of the CPU time and the completion of the process. The process scheduling algorithms in thr UNIX system are based on the priority service disciplines. That is, the behavior of a process is governed by the UNIX process schuduling algorithms that (ⅰ) the time-shared computer usage is obtained by allotting each request a quantum until it completes its required CPU time, (ⅱ) the nonpreemptive switching in system mode and the preemptive switching in user mode are applied to determine the quantum, (ⅲ) the first-come-first-serve discipline is applied within the same priority level, and (ⅳ) after completing an allotted quantum the process is placed at the end of either the runnable queue corresponding to its priority or the disk queue where it sleeps. These process scheduling algorithms create the round-robin effect in user mode. Using the round-robin effect and the preemptive switching, we approximate a process delay in user mode. Using the nonpreemptive switching, we approximate a process delay in system mode. We also consider a process delay due to the disk input and output operations. The average conditional response time is then obtained by approximating the total process delay. The results show an excellent response time for the processes requiring system time at the expense of the processes requiring user time.

In this paper, a new 4-way search window is designed for the high-performance 2D PE architecture in H.264 Motion Estimation(ME) to improve the memory bandwidth. While existing 2D PE architectures reuse the overlapped data of adjacent search windows scanned in 1 or 3-way, the new window utilizes the overlapped data of adjacent search windows as well as adjacent multiple scanning (window) paths to enhance the reusage of retrieved search window data. In order to scan adjacent windows and multiple paths instead of single raster and zigzag scanning of adjacent windows, bidirectional row and column window scanning results in the 4-way(up. down, left, right) search window. The proposed 4-way search window could improve the reuse of overlapped window data to reduce the redundancy access factor by 3.1, though the 1/3-way search window redundantly requires $7.7{\sim}11$ times of data retrieval. Thus, the new 4-way search window scheme enhances the memory bandwidth by $70{\sim}58%$ compared with 1/3-way search window. The 2D PE architecture in H.264 ME for 4-way search window consists of $16{\times}16$ pe array. computing the absolute difference between current and reference frames, and $5{\times}16$ reusage array, storing the overlapped data of adjacent search windows and multiple scanning paths. The reference data could be loaded upward and downward into the new 2D PE depending on scanning direction, and the reusage array is combined with the pe array rotating left as well as right to utilize the overlapped data of adjacent multiple scan paths. In experiments, the new implementation of 4-way search window on Magnachip 0.18um could deal with the HD($1280{\times}720$) video of 1 reference frame, $48{\times}48$ search area and $16{\times}16$ macroblock by 30fps at 149.25MHz.

Black soybean paste (BSP) is a bealmijang manufactured with barley flour and black soybeans. This study investigated the quality characteristics of BSP prepared with Bacillus subtilis HJ18-4 (HJ18-4). ${\alpha}$-Amylase and protease activities of BSP rapidly increased on day 6 and day 9, respectively, ($41.45{\pm}0.3-42.72{\pm}0.16$, $21.84{\pm}0.24-23.11{\pm}0.35unit/g$) after which the activities were constant or decreased slightly. Amino type nitrogen contents increased until day 23 ($173.78{\pm}3.51-195.63{\pm}1.51mg\;%$), whereas ammonia type nitrogen sharply decreased on day 9. On day 30, lactic acid bacteria counts were higher compared with the initial count ($7.91{\pm}0.05-8.17{\pm}0.02log\;CFU/g$). Meanwhile, B. cereus and total aerobic counts in HJ18-4 added BSP were lower than that in the control. These results implied that BSP could be edible after 30 days of fermentation, and the addition of HJ18-4 in meju could contribute to the safety of the black soybean paste by the inhibition of B. cereus growth.

Building construction trends have been changed dramatically in terms of size and mass. With the need to maximize land usage, there has been an increase in the construction of high-rise buildings. This affects not only the entire construction duration and cost, but also subsequent construction activities, such as work to increase underground facilities and in reclamation land area construction. These types of site conditions require soft ground reinforcement and the proper uplift water pressure treatment. In general, two kinds of methods have been used for uplift water pressure treatment systems. However, there have been some problems arising as the result of a lack of research and analysis on underground construction techniques, and a reliance on experiments over actual survey and analysis of site conditions. This paper focused on the problems of conventional selection procedure, by analyzing drawings and proposing a kind of modeling for a reasonable procedure. The results were applied to OO project as a sample construction case to be verified in this research. The initial plan in the case project was the Rock Anchor System. However, as there were terrible miscalculations of basic site conditions that had an extraordinary influence on the underground water level, such as the site's proximity to the Han-river, it was necessary to change the plan to include apermanent drainage system. This achieved a direct construction cost reduction \ 406,702,000 and a maximum sayings of 4% of operational cost, based on the 50-year building Life Cycle Cost.

College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) is a primary test to evaluate the study achievement of high-school students and used by most universities for admission decision in South Korea. Because its level of difficulty is a significant issue to both students and universities, the government makes a huge effort to have a consistent difficulty level every year. However, the actual levels of difficulty have significantly fluctuated, which causes many problems with university admission. In this paper, we build two types of data-driven prediction models to predict correct answer rate and to identify significant factors for CSAT English test through accumulated test data of CSAT, unlike traditional methods depending on experts' judgments. Initially, we derive candidate question-specific factors that can influence the correct answer rate, such as the position, EBS-relation, readability, from the annual CSAT practices and CSAT for 10 years. In addition, we drive context-specific factors by employing topic modeling which identify the underlying topics over the text. Then, the correct answer rate is predicted by multiple linear regression and level of difficulty is predicted by classification tree. The experimental results show that 90% of accuracy can be achieved by the level of difficulty (difficult/easy) classification model, whereas the error rate for correct answer rate is below 16%. Points and problem category are found to be critical to predict the correct answer rate. In addition, the correct answer rate is also influenced by some of the topics discovered by topic modeling. Based on our study, it will be possible to predict the range of expected correct answer rate for both question-level and entire test-level, which will help CSAT examiners to control the level of difficulties.

The non-ionic surfactant (NIS) Tween 80 was evaluated for its ability to influence invitro cumulative gas production, dry matter digestibility, cellulolytic enzyme activities, anaerobic microbial growth rates, and adhesion to substrates by mixed rumen microorganisms on rice straw, alfalfa hay, cellulose filter paper and tall fescue hay. The addition of NIS Tween 80 at a level of 0.05% increased significantly (P<0.05) in vitro DM digestibility, cumulative gas production, microbial growth rate and cellulolytic enzyme activity from all of substrates used in this study. In vitro cumulative gas production from the NIS-treated substrates; rice straw, alfalfa hay, filter paper and tall fescue hay was significantly (P<0.05) improved by 274.8, 235.2, 231.1 and 719.5% compared with the control, when substrates were incubated for 48 hr in vitro. The addition of 0.05% NIS Tween 80 to cultures growing on alfalfa hay resulted in a significant increase in CMCase (38.1%), xylanase (121.4%), Avicelase (not changed) and amylase (38.2%) activities after 36 h incubation. These results indicated that the addition of 0.05% Tween 80 could greatly stimulate the release of some kinds of cellulolytic enzymes without decreasing cell growth rate in contrast to trends reported with aerobic microorganism. Our SEM observation showed that NIS Tween. 80 did not influence the microbial adhesion to substrates used in the study. Present data clearly show that improved gas production, DM digestibility and cellulolytic enzyme activity by Tween 80 is not due to increased bacterial adhesion on the substrates.

Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) is the main payload of the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT) with the mission of cartography to build up a digital map of Korean territory including a Digital Terrain Elevation Map(DTEM). This instalment which comprises EOC Sensor Assembly and EOC Electronics Assembly produces the panchromatic images of 6.6 m GSD with a swath wider than 17 km by push-broom scanning and spacecraft body pointing in a visible range of wavelength, 510~730 nm. The high resolution panchromatic image is to be collected for 2 minutes during 98 minutes of orbit cycle covering about 800 km along ground track, over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data storage. The image of 8 bit digitization, which is collected by a full reflective type F8.3 triplet without obscuration, is to be transmitted to Ground Station at a rate less than 25 Mbps. EOC was elaborated to have the performance which meets or surpasses its requirements of design phase. The spectral response, the modulation transfer function, and the uniformity of all the 2592 pixel of CCD of EOC are illustrated as they were measured for the convenience of end-user. The spectral response was measured with respect to each gain setup of EOC and this is expected to give the capability of generating more accurate panchromatic image to the users of EOC data. The modulation transfer function of EOC was measured as greater than 16 % at Nyquist frequency over the entire field of view, which exceeds its requirement of larger than 10 %. The uniformity that shows the relative response of each pixel of CCD was measured at every pixel of the Focal Plane Array of EOC and is illustrated for the data processing.
