This study is to analyze the Probable Maximum Flood(PMF) as a part of counterplan for the disaster prevention of hydraulic structures such as dams, according to recent unfavorable weather conditions. During the period of typhoon RUSA in August 2002, the rainfall recorded in Gang-loeng Province was 880mm a day and exceeded the scale of PMP made in 2001. Accordingly, the reconsideration of hydrologic criteria for dam design was inevitable. In the design of dams for flood controls, the design flood must be determined by introducing the concept of maximum values. When the duration of design rainfall is determined, it needs to use the critical duration which causes the maximum flood by the maximum runoff. In this study, we Investigate the variation of critical duration with hydrologic parameters used in three different synthetic unit hydrographs(Clark, Nakayasu and SCS methods). As a result, the total runoff calculated from 24-hour duration is larger than that calculated from the critical duration. We calculate also the hydrographs with three different time distribution models(Huff's 4-quartile, IDF curve and Mononobe) and compare those with measured hydrograph data. From this comparison, we propose that the Huff's 4-quartile model must be used to obtain the desirable data in the hydrologic design of dams.

To prevent accidents near the quay caused by a ship, ports are generally designed and constructed through navigation and berthing safety assessment. However, unpredictable accidents such as ship collisions with the quay or personal accidents caused by ropes still occur sometimes during the ship berthing or mooring process. Automatic mooring systems, which are equipped with an attachment mechanism composed of robotic manipulators and vacuum pads, are designed for rapid and safe mooring of ships. This paper deals with a displacement and velocity measurement system for the automatic mooring device, which is essential for the position and speed control of the vacuum pads. To design a suitable system for an automatic mooring device, we first analyze the sensor's performance and outdoor environmental characteristics. Based on the analysis results, we describe the configuration and design methods of a displacement and velocity measurement system for application in outdoor environments. Additionally, several algorithms for detecting the sensor's state and estimating a ship's velocity are developed. The proposed method is verified through some experiments for displacement and speed measurement targeted at a moving object with constant speed.

In this study, lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of high-strength H-beams built up from 800MPa tensile-strength steel was experimentally and analytically evaluated according to current lateral stability provisions (KBC 2009, AISC-LRFD 2010). The motivation was to evaluate whether or not current LTB provisions, which were originally developed for ordinary steel with different stress-strain characteristics, are still applicable to high-strength steel. Two sets of compact-section specimens with relatively low (Set A) or high (Set B) warping stiffness were prepared and tested under uniform moment loading. Laterally unbraced lengths of the test specimens were controlled such that inelastic LTB could be induced. All specimens exhibited LTB strength exceeding the minimum limit required by current provisions by a sufficient margin. Moreover, some specimen in Set A reached a rotation capacity required for plastic design, although its laterally unbraced length belonged to the inelastic LTB range. All the test results indicated that extrapolation of current provisions to high-strength steel is conservative. In order to further analyze the test results, the relationship between inelastic moment and laterally unbraced length was also derived in explicit form for both ordinary- and high-strength steel based on the effective tangent modulus of inelastic section. The analytical relationship derived again showed that extrapolation of current laterally unbraced length limit leads to a conservative design in the case of high-strength steel and that the laterally unbraced length to control the inelastic LTB behavior of high-strength steel beam should be specified by including its unique post-yield strain-hardening characteristics.

Recycling nutrient solutions in closed hydroponic production systems is usually accompanied by an imbalance of nutrient solutions when concentration is controlled according to electrical conductivity (EC) levels. This study investigated whether it was possible to automatically control the concentrations of five essential elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) using only N, K and Ca ion sensors. N, P, K, Ca, and Mg uptake was measured in the nutrient solution, and relationships between absorbed ions were analyzed through twice-repeated experiments in lettuce. Results confirmed that the pattern of $PO_4$ ion uptake was similar that of N, and the pattern of Mg ion uptake was similar that of Ca. $PO_4$ ion uptake was most highly correlated with N, and Mg was most highly correlated with Ca. Regression coefficients of N and $PO_4$ were significantly different at 1.04 and 0.55, respectively, but were similar between Ca and Mg at 0.35 and 0.40, respectively. Additional experiments were conducted to measure nutrient uptake in pak choi and rose plants, both to confirm the results from the first experiment in lettuce, and to assess possible application to other crops. Coefficients of determination both for N and $PO_4$, and Ca and Mg were considerably high ($R^2=0.86$) in cultured pak choi, and similar results were observed in cultured rose ($R^2=0.87$ and 0.73, respectively). Regression coefficients for cultured pak choi were 0.56 and 0.24, respectively, and for rose were 0.51 and 0.16, respectively. Although the results obtained for N and $PO_4$ were not consistent between the lettuce experiments, N and $PO_4$ have similar regression coefficients for all crops. No common coefficient was found between Ca and Mg.

The eXtensible Markup Language(XML) is emerging as a standard format of data representation and exchange on the Internet. There have been researches about storing and retrieving XML documents using the relational database which has techniques in full growth about large data processing, recovery, concurrency control and so on. Since in previous systems same structure information and fundamental operation are used for processing of various kinds of XML queries, only some specific query can be efficiently processed not all types of query. In this paper, we propose a flexible query processing system. To process query efficiently, the proposed system analyzes regular path expression queries, and uses $\theta$-join operation using region numbering values to check ancestor-descendent relationship and equi-join operation using parent's region start value to check parent-child relationship. Thus, the proposed system processes efficiently XML regular path expressions. From the experimental results, we show that proposed XML query processing system is more efficient than previous systems.

Wireless Sensor Network is an event-driven system that a large number of micro sensor nodes are collected, giving and Wing information. Congestion can take place easily since a great number of sensor nodes are sensing data and transferring them to sink nodes when an event occurs, comparing to the existing wired network. Current internet transport protocol is TCP/UDP, however, this is not proper for wireless sensor network event-driven ESRT, STCP and CODA are being studied for reliable data transport in the wireless sensor network. Congestion are being detected local buffer and channel loading with these techniques. Broadcasting is mainly used and can avoid congestion when one happens. The way that combining local buffer and channel loading information and detecting congestion is being studied in this paper. When congestion occurs, buffering state is divided into three in order to lessen the broadcasting sending the message on congestion control to the node having frequent channel loading. Thus they have advantage of decreasing network's loading.

실리콘 (Si) 기판 위에 고품질의 갈륨질화물 (GaN) 박막을 성장시키기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 실리콘 기판은 사파이어 기판 보다 경제적인 측면에서 유리하고, 실리콘 직접화 공정에 GaN 소자를 쉽게 접목 가능하다는 장점이 있다. GaN 박막은 2차원 전자 가스형성을 통한 고속소자, 직접 천이형 밴드갭을 이용한 발광소자 및 고전압 소자로써 활용 가능한 물질이다. 종래에는 Si(100) 및 Si(111) 기판 위에 GaN 박막 성장에 대한 연구가 주로 진행되었다. 하지만 대칭성과 격자 불일치도 등 결정학적 특성을 고려할 때 Si(100) 기판 위에 고품질의 GaN 박막을 성장시키는 것은 쉽지 않다. Si(111) 기판은 실리콘 소자 직접화 공정에 적합하지 못한 단점을 가지고 있다. 반면, 최근 Si(110) 기판 위에서 비등방적 변형 제어를 통한 고품질 GaN 박막 성장이 보고 되어 실리콘 집적 소자와 결합한 고전압 소자 및 고속소자 구현에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 투과전자현미경 연구를 바탕으로 Si(110) 기판 위에 성장된 GaN의 미세구조에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 열팽창계수의 차이에 의한 GaN 박막 내 결함 생성을 줄이기 위하여 AlN 완충층이 사용되었다. GaN 박막을 암모니아 ($NH_3$) 유량이 다른 조건에서 성장시킴으로써 GaN 박막 미세구조의 암모니아 유량 의존성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. GaN 박막에서 투과전자현미경 연구와 X-ray 회절 연구를 통하여 결함 거동 및 결정성을 확인하였다. $NH_3$ 유랑이 증가함에 따라 GaN의 성장 거동이 3차원에서 2차원으로 변화됨을 관찰하였다. 또한, 전위밀도의 증가도 확인되었다. $NH_3$ 유량이 낮은 경우 GaN 전위는 AlN와 GaN 경계에 주로 위치하고 GaN 표면 근처에는 전위밀도가 감소하였으나, $NH_3$ 유량이 높을 경우 GaN 박막 표면까지 전위가 관통됨을 확인하였다.

The interaction of monochromatic incident waves with a horizontal flexible membrane is investigated in the context of two-dimensional linear hydro-elastic theory. First, analytic diffraction and radiation solutions for a submerged impermeable horizontal membrane are obtained. Second, the theoretical prediction was compared with a series of experiments conducted in a two-dimensional wave tank at Texas A & M University. The measured reflection and transmission coefficients reasonably follow the trend of predicted values. Using the developed computer program, the performance of surface-mounted or submerged horizontal membrane wave barriers is tested with various system parameters and wave characteristics. It is found that the properly designed horizontal flexible membrane can be an effective wave barrier.

In this paper we introduce a new approach to stroke based rendering using brush stroke profile. Our proposed method, based on image retrieval method, is a simple but flexible and scalable method to create various painting styles, for which scalable database constructed with the collection of real stroke data is used. Input image is reproduced with combinations of brush stoke in the database, when a search process to determinate appropriate brush stroke and a judgment process to decide whether to draw the retrieved brush stroke on the canvas or not are presented. In addition, this paper suggests a new brush stroke model and a depiction technique in order to utilize effective height information which allows natural texture depiction, or good visual effect, without carrying out physical simulation. Our method is able to create diverse variations of painting by controling various user parameters. It also provides scalable framework that can produce various painting styles with different artistic media by changing the stroke combinations of stroke database.
