This study is aimed to classify rainfall regions in Pakistan. Classification of rainfall regions is essential to understand rainfall patterns in Pakistan. Rainfall patterns have been investigated using a factor and cluster analysis technique by 10-days rainfall parameter. The data used here have been obtained from 32 specific weather stations of PMD (Pakistan Meteorological Department) for the period of January 1980 to December 2006. The results obtained from factor analysis provide three factors and these three factors accounts for 94.60% of the total variance. For a better understanding of rainfall regions, cluster analysis method has been applied. The clustering procedure is based on the Wards method algorithm. Overall, these rainfall regions have been divided into six groups. The boundary of the region is determined by the topology such as Baluchistan plateau, Indus plain, Hindu Kush and Himalaya ranges.

Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio (SN) to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. Many Statisticians criticize the Taguchi techniques of analysis, particularly those based on the SN. Moreover, there are difficulties in practical application, such as complexity and nonlinear relationships among quality characteristics and design (control) factors, and interactions occurred among control factors. Neural networks have a learning capability and model free characteristics. There characteristics support neural networks as a competitive tool in processing multivariable input-output implementation. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design using neural network without resorting to SN. An example is illustrated to compare the difference between the Taguchi method and neural network method.

In this study, column diffusion tests for Cd and Zn were conducted at $15^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ to investigate a temperature effect on effective diffusion coefficient. An increase in temperature from $15^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ caused up to ten times larger diffusion coefficient for each heavy metal. Besides, it caused the increased retardation of heavy metals, and hence the effective diffusion coefficient should be overestimated as we use an overestimated retardation factor to calibrate the coefficient. The results of sequential extraction analyses showed that Zn was occluded in carbonate phase and this trend was getting prominent with the increase in temperature. As for Cd, it was partitioned mainly in the exchangeable phase(over 60%) at any temperature.

With the increase of risk of gas explosion, various methods for indirectly estimating the explosion paramaters, which are required for the prediction of gas explosion scale and impact. In this study, the characteristics of the most frequently used methods such as TNT equivalent method, TNO multi-energy method, and BST method and the processes for determining the parameters of the methods were compared. In the case of TNT equivalent method, an adequate selection of the efficiency factor for various conditions such as the type of vapor cloud explosion and explosion material is needed. There is no objective guidelines for the selection of class number in TNO multi-energy method and it is not possible to estimate negative overpressure. It was found that there were some mistakes in the reported parameter values and suggested corrected values. BST method provides more detailed guidelines for the estimation of the explosion parameters including negative overpressure, but the graphs used in this methods are not clear. In order to overcome the problem, the graphs were redrawn. A more convenient estimation of explosion parameters with the numerical expression of the redrawn graphs will be available in the future.

Located on the upstream of a gene, the promoter region that plays a very important role in the control of gene expression as a signal part has various binding sites for transcription factors. These binding sites are present in various parts of the promoter region and assume an aspect of highly conserved consensus sequence pattern. This paper deals with the introductions of search methods for consensus pattern, including Wataru method, EM algorithm, MEME algorithm, Genetic algorithm and Phylogenetic Footprinting method, and intends to give future prospects of research on this field.

이덕터는 구동부를 통해 공급되는 작동유체가 노즐을 통과하면서 고속으로 분출됨으로써 벤츄리 효과에 의해 노즐 출구 주위에 부압이 형성됨에 따라 흡입부를 통해 유체가 흡입된다. 이덕터의 주요 설계인자는 노즐의 직경과 스로트의 직경 및 직관부 길이 그리고 노즐과 직관부 시작점까지의 거리이다. 이 연구에서는 선박용 인라인 이덕터에 대한 기초연구로서 흡입 메카니즘을 체계적으로 해석할 목적으로 주요 설계인자를 이론적으로 고찰하고 설계인자의 변화에 따른 성능실험 가능하도록 이중원관의 형태로 모델링하였다.

본 연구에서는 최근에 발생하는 자연재해의 형태는 점차 대형화되고 있으며, 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인하여 극한강우사상의 발생 빈도의 양상이 변화하고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 기후변화의 효과를 반영한 확률강우량을 산정하여 평가할 필요성이 있다. 기상청에서 관측하고 있는 서울지점을 대상으로 일강우자료를 활용하여 강우사상의 변화특성에 대한 변동성과 경향성 분석을 수행하였으며, 지역가중인자를 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정하고, 마지막으로 수문기상인자인 해수면온도가 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 변화한다고 가정하여 미래의 확률강우량을 산정하여 비교하였다.

일반적으로 유역의 지형학적 특성을 나타내는 인자들은 유역면적, 유로연장, 유로경사 등 여러가지가 있다. Horton (1945)은 수계의 발달 형태에 기초한 하천의 차수를 이용하여 분기비, 길이비, 면적비, 하천 밀도 등 지형학적인 매개변수로 제시하였다. 유역 지형학적 매개변수는 Horton이 제시한 유역내 하도망의 지형학적인 구성에 대한 특성을 반영하는 것으로 유출에 지배적인 영향을 미친다. 한강 유역 19개 하천의 27개 지점을 대상으로 유출 특성과 지형학적 특성의 상관 분석을 위하여 유역과 하천의 지형학적 특성을 Arc-Map을 이용하여 구하였다. 하천차수법칙에 의한 지형학적인 매개변수로 분기비, 길이비, 함몰도, 면적비를 산정하였고, 유역의 지형학적 인자는 유역면적, 유로연장, 유로경사, 형상계수, 단일형상계수, 세장률, 수계밀도, 수계빈도를 산정하였다. 수계의 연간 유출률은 실측 유출량과 강수량 자료를 이용하여 산정하였다. 각각의 지형학적 특성인자에 대한 상관 매트릭스를 분석하고 그 상관특성을 분석하였다. 특히 지형학적 매개변수와 지형학적 요소와 연간 유출률과의 상관관계식을 제시하였다.
