In wireless sensor networks, communication failure between sensor nodes causes continuous connection attempts, which results in a large power loss. In this paper, an appropriate distance between the CH(Cluster Head) node and the communicating sensor nodes is limited so that a group of clusters of appropriate size is formed on a two-dimensional plane. To equalize the cluster size, sensor nodes in the shortest distance communicate with each other to form member nodes, and clusters are formed by gathering nearby nodes. Based on the proposed cluster uniformity algorithm, the improvement rate of cluster uniformity is shown by simulation results. The proposed method can improve the cluster uniformity of the network by about 30%.

The purpose of this study is to determine the economical standard for road signs by verifying the difference in driver's legibility time with respect to the spacing of letters on the toad signs. Laboratory simulations were conducted to confirm the difference in legibility time for six target signs of different spacing. Also. a binary logit model was used to find the main factors, which could lower the rate if misreading. This model involves not only a simple enlargement of signs but also a suitable match of letters and signs along with the optimal spacing of the text letters on the road signs to increase the legibility of the sign. The result of this study verified the importance of spacing in road signs and Proved itself to be an effective method to determine the future standard for the road signs.

For the study of Hericium erinaceum as a useful functional foods and materials, liquid cultivation under two different bioreactors(air-lift fermenter and jar fermenter) which was not studied systematically until now, was conducted as a method of mass cultivation for H. erinaceum. A batch cultivation in an air-lift fermenter and a jar fermenter was examined for enhancing the productivity because of small amounts of mycelial weight and slow growth in case of a liquid culture for H. erinaceum. We found that air lift fermenter system was more effective than jar fermenter for mycelial production of H. erinaceum, and mycelial morphology was a critical factor of the growth. By scale-up and cultivation based on morphological analysis, the conditions for mass production with 30 L and 500 L jar fermenter was 200 and 150 rpm of agitation speed at 1 vvm of aeration rate, respectively, and mycelial dry weight under these conditions was enhanced to about $13{\sim}14g/L$.

To get basic data for quality grading of Mandarin oranges, the oranges were collected from five major areas distributed in Cheju Island, Korea for 3 years and the quality characteristics such as greenness, size, weight, uniformity, sweetness, pH and titratable acidity and its distributions were analyzed. The mean value of greenness (100- yellowness) of peel color in Mandarin oranges was 2.58% and its variation was very large, 9.04%. The average height and diameter of the oranges were 47.51 mm and 56.05 mm, respectively. The average weight was 82.24 g and its variation was 29.92g. The sweetness varied between 5.60$^{\circ}$Brix and 17.2$^{\circ}$Brix and its average value was 10.53$^{\circ}$Brix. The average values of the pH and total acidity of the oranges were 3.90 and 0.71 ％, individually. In quality characteristics of Mandarin oranges according to the cultivated areas, area D had the lowest value in the strength of greenness, 1.14% and area D had the highest value, 3.53%. The highest values of the height and diameter in Mandarin oranges were 49.35mm and 57.48mm for area A and the lowest values of them were 46.35mm and 54.87mm for area E, respectively. The highest value of the weight in Mandarin oranges was 87.61 g for area A and the lowest value was 76.77g fer area E. Although the sweetness ranged from 10.2$^{\circ}$Brix for area E to 10.75$^{\circ}$Brix for area D, the difference by the areas was insignificant. For pH values, area B had the highest value, 3.96, while area E showed the lowest value, 3.78. Area A and E in titratable acidity were the areas shown the highest value, 0.75%, whereas area B marked the lowest value, 0.64%.

자연현상의 강우와 유출관계를 규명하는 일은 상당히 복잡하고 어려우며 대부분의 하천이 충분한 수문정보가 부족하기 때문에 수문학적인 문제의 해결을 위한 보다 정확하고 신속한 방법이 필요하다. 지리정보시스템 (Geographical Information Systems; GIS)은 강우-유출 등 수문학적 모델링에 있어서 많은 새로운 방법을 연구할 수 있다. 우리나라 소하천 유역은 아직 수위나 유량 관측이 행해지지 않은 미계측유역이 있어 홍수시 정확한 유출량 추정이 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 GIS와 WMS를 이용하여 지형특성인자값을 산정하고, 유역특성인자들을 IHP 대표유역인 설마천 유역에 적용하여 DEM 격자크기별 지형특성인자값을 비교하고, HEC-HMS 수문모형을 이용하여 유출수문곡선을 모의하고 이 결과와 실제 수문곡선과의 비교를 통하여 설마천 유역의 적정한 DEM 격자크기를 결정해 보고자 한다.

This study is to propose reduction effect of scour depth and a optimum size of circular collar through experimental analyses with various collar sizes. To do so, we carried out hydraulic model experiments. In the case of with considering the collar, the effect of reduction of scour depth increased according to the increase of collar size. When size of collar is 2 as the ratio of collar diameter(W) to pier diameter(D), scour depth is decreased about 67% and deposition height is increased about 70%. The optimal size of collar proposed in this study is W/D=2 by analyzing reduction effect of scour depth, size of scour hole, and deposition height.

The most appropriate mixing ratio of fly ash to bottom ash obtained from compaction characteristics and CBR values is varying from 5:5 to 6:4. But these mixed ashes are frost-susceptible materials according to judging by the paticle-size distribution because of a lot of silty-size paticles. In this study, the frost-susceptibility of compacted coal ash with proper mixing ratio is examined experimentally for use of subgrade materials. And, the efforts have been made to find proper cement addition in making these mixed ashes frost-insusceptible. It was revealed that these mixed ashes are frost-susceptible, and 4% of cement content is required to be made frost-insusceptable. It was found that amount of frost heave of these mixed ashes decreases with the unconfined compressive strength, and increases with log k if the permeability coefficient k is as low as the water into the freezing front of these mixed ashes is restricted.

SnO$_2$를 모물질로 하는 가스센서는 n형 산화물 반도체로서 공기중의 산소의 흡탈착 및 전자의 수수에 의해 전기전도도의 변화로 특정 가스를 감지한다. 지금까지 반도체식 가스센서의 모물질로 가장 많이 연구되어 왔지만 아직도 선택성, 안정성 등 여러 가지 문제를 안고 있다. 그리고 개선방안으로 귀금속 촉매의 첨가 및 입자의 크기의 조절 등이 흔히 연구되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순수한 SnO$_2$ 를 이용하여 소결 온도 및 입자 크기에 의한 영향을 CO가스 및 수분에 대한 감도, 반응 시간을 통해 알아보았다. 수열 합성 및 침전 법으로 나노 크기의 SnO$_2$ 분말을 합성하여 스크린 인쇄법으로 후막 가스센서를 제조하였다 침전법에서 SnCl$_4$에 암모니아수로 pH=10.5로 적정하여 SnO$_2$ 분말을 얻었다. 그리고 입자 크기를 조절하기 위해 수열 합성 시 autoclave 내의 수열처리 온도를 100, 150, 20$0^{\circ}C$로 조절하여 SnO$_2$ 분말을 제조하고 입자 크기와 성분분석을 위해 XRD, SEM, TEM, BET 측정을 하였다. 그 결과 침전법으로 제조한 입자의 크기는 20nm 정도였으며 수열 처리한 SnO$_2$ 입자는 10nm이하의 미세한 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 수열 합성 시 온도가 높아질수록 더 작은 입자 크기를 얻을 수 있었고 600, 7()0, 80$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후 입자성장이 침전법에 의한 SnO$_2$ 분말보다 더 작게 일어났다. 이렇게 제조한 나노크기의 SnO$_2$ 분말을 이용하여 습도 및 CO 가스에 대한 그 특실을 평가하였다. CO 20ppm에 대하여 40%정도의 감도를 보였으며 입자가 작아질수록 높은 감도를 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 반면 CO 가스와 반응 후 회복 시 입자 의기가 작아질수록 회복이 늦어짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 습도에 대한 반응 후 회복시간을 조사해보니 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이것은 입자 필기가 작아질수록 많은 흡착 사이트를 제공함으로써 높은 감도를 가지지만 반면 다량의 흡착된 가스들이 탈착 하는데 더 많은 시간이 소요되었기 때문이다.
