Diffusion dialysis is a membrane process driven by concentration difference using ion-exchange membranes and has been employed for many years for the acid recovery from acidic waste generated in steel, metal-refining and dectro-plating industries. Theoretically acid flux increases in propomon to the acid concentration difference. At acid concentrations higher than 3 N HCl, however, the acid flux had not increased linearly with the concentration difference. In this paper the effects of acid concentrations on diffusion dialysis for hydrochloric acid recovery and the acid transport mechanism in an anion exchange membrane were studied by membrane sorption tests and diffusion clialysis cell tests. The experimental results showed that the molecular diffusion was a major transport mechanism in a low acid concentration range and the proton leakage through an anion exchange membrane played an important role at higher acid concentrations. Also osmotic water transport and membrane dehydration retarded the transport of protons and caused the permeate flux to decrease.

When the RC structure repaired by patching repair method, which method refilles with patching repair material after removes degraded area, It is necessary to determine chloride ion's permeation from outside of the RC structure repaired by patching repair material. Therefore, in this study, damage from sea environment of structure was predicted, moreover, diffusion coefficient of concrete also determined to figure out rebar's corrosion and concentration of chloride ion. RCPT(Rapid Chloride Permeability Test) was used for ditermination of patching repair material's diffusion coefficient, also connection between material thickness and effect of chloride ion's permeation was examined in analytically. Results which derived by experimental test was used in FEM(Finite Element Method) and equation suggested by JSCE to predict concentration of chloride ion in different distance from surface.

A water tube with detonating cord was devised to control the blast dust. Water diffusion experiments with different detonating cord positions were conducted during the series of experiments to optimize the design parameters of the tube. Images from high speed camera were analyzed to evaluate the results. AUTODYN program was adopted to simulate the diffusion process of water and compared with the images. Diffusion of water shows cross flow in case of external charge while the internal case shows radial flow. A bubble ring was formed during the numerical analysis of internal charge case as occurred in underwater blast. An additional bubble ring was formed by the reflection pressure from the ground. And the Weber number was determined as sufficient for spray atomization performance of the water tube.

Modeling techniques for air quality are useful tools in air quality management. Especially, the air quality in urban area is significantly influenced by local surroundings such as buildings and traffic. When considering the air quality in a street canyon, which is usually filmed by a series of consecutive buildings and a street, currently available air dispersion model have a number of limitations to predict the air quality properly. In this study, it is aimed to propose an empirical model for the air quality in urban street canyons. A series of wind tunnel tests, followed by statistical analysis, were conducted. In conclusion, it is found that a wide street canyon and a perpendicular external wind to the street canyon are beneficial to achieve an enhanced air quality in street canyon environment. The model prediction using the proposed model also shows reliable correlations to the wind tunnel test results.

우리나라의 대표 생태계 교란 외래어종인 배스와 블루길은 본래 식용 목적으로 유입되어 하천에서 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 그로 인해 우리나라 토종 어류의 개체수가 감소하고 토종 어류의 서식지가 사라지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 배스와 블루길을 대상으로 여러 환경적 요인에 따른 서식처 형성 특징을 관찰하고 분석하여 최종적으로 외래어종의 확산을 차단하는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 실험실 연구를 통해 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 주변 환경을 관찰한 결과 특정 반응에 민감하고 장애물과 같은 지형적 요소를 선호하는 행동 특성을 발견하였다. 이에 따라 발견된 특성을 중점으로 하여 지형인자와 조명에 관련된 실험실 연구를 진행하고 분석하였다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 자연 상태에서 채집한 배스와 블루길을 길이 12 m, 깊이 0.6 m, 폭 1 m의 하천과 유사한 자연적 환경이 갖추어진 수조에 이식하였다. 첫 번째로 장애물에 대한 반응 실험은 세 가지 종류의 장애물을 환경 조건이 동일한 수조에 설치하여 어떤 장애물을 더 선호하는지를 관찰하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 그 결과 외래어종은 어류의 위쪽 시야를 차단하는 즉, 상단 벽 장애물을 가장 선호하였으며 이 장애물 밑에 주로 서식처를 형성하였다. 그 이유로는 자연 상태의 외래어종에게는 조류가 가장 큰 천적이므로 조류를 경계하는 습성에 의한 서식처 형성으로 판단된다. 또한 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 크게 고려하는 수온과 장애물 중 어떤 독립변인에 더 민감하게 반응하는지도 관찰되었다. 실험은 춘계에 먼저 수온의 차이를 두어 외래어종이 서식처를 형성하게 만든 후, 서식처로 자리 잡지 않은 곳에 장애물을 설치하여 형성된 서식처를 옮기는지 지켜보았다. 그 결과 앞선 연구로 발견된 외래어종의 서식처 형성에 적당한 수온 $20{\sim}24^{\circ}C$가 아니어도 장애물이 설치된 곳 밑에 서식처를 형성하는 것을 발견하였다. 두 번째로 조명에 관한 실험에서는 외래어종이 수조 전체에 설치된 상단 조명의 아래에는 위치하지 않았으며, 외래어종이 자리 잡은 서식처에 간이 조명을 설치하여 비추거나 하면 피하는 특성을 보였다. 하지만 실험실이 아닌 실제 하천의 환경은 매우 다양한 변수를 포함하고 있어 실험실 수조와의 환경과는 다른 양상을 보일 수 있다. 이와 같은 실제 생태계와 실험실 수조의 환경 차이에서 오는 불확실성에 대한 개선을 위해 실험실에서 진행된 실험 결과를 바탕으로 향후 외래어종의 서식 환경 특성을 고려한 외래어종 확산 차단물을 설계하여 실제 자연 환경에서 외래어종이 어떻게 반응하는지에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study is to figure out the speed of soil diffusion and shapes as well when landslide occurred. It was measured the speed and shapes of soil diffusion using installed indoor-simulation of a land slide. Standard sand was used to measure it and this measurement is following the moisture content of standard sand. The result of this experiment follows the moisture content; as the moisture content goes up, the area and speed of soil diffusion goes faster as well. As the average of records by the moisture content was analyzed, the area and speed of land slide are increased proportionally. The shape of diffusion is formed as fanwise. It depends on the moisture content as above; the speed was fast when the moisture content is high, and it was getting narrower and longer as the speed of diffusion was faster.

It is time-consuming to estimate chloride diffusivity of concrete by concentration difference test. For the reason chloride diffusivity of concrete is mainly tested by electrically accelerated method, which is accelerating the movement of chloride ion by potential difference. In this study, portland cement concrete and concrete containing with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (40 and 60% of cement by weight) with water-cementitious material ratio 40, 45, 50 and 60% were manufactured. To compare with chloride diffusivity calculated from the electrically accelerated test and immersed test in artifical seawater, chloride diffusivity tests were conducted. From the results of regression analysis, regression equation between accelerated chloride diffusivity and immersed chloride diffusivity was linear function. And the determinant coefficient was 0.96 for linear equation.

In this paper, we implemented an opto-electronical signal processing system for the edge detection using the diffusion neural network. The diffusion neural network performs a Gaussian and DOG operation efficiently by the diffusion process. The diffusion neural network is more efficient than the LOG masking method in hardware implementation because it has a few connections and the connection weights are fixed-valued. We implemented a diffusion neural network using the characteristics of the light intensity distribution function which is similar to the Gaussian function. We have shown that the system can detect the edge of an image exactly through the experimental results.

In this paper, Interference-Cancelled CDMA system using binary ZCD spreading codes is introduced. Proposed Interference-Cancelled CDMA system can be usefully used for the intra-cellular Interference-Cancelled wireless communication systems. Binary ZCD spreading code sets have various sequence period and family sizes and the ZCD properties of them are very effective for Interference-cancelled CDMA Systems. In this paper, we mathematically analyzed the system performance of our proposed Interference-Cancelled CDMA system in the AWGN channel and various interference environments such as MAI and MPI. Furthermore, using the BER performance simulation we certify the available interference cancellation properties of the proposed system.

Mathematical models have been developed in which storage-relaease processes of pollutants are modeled to explain storage effect of variations of flow and channel geometry on mixing and transport of polluted releases in natural channels including low flow conditions. The models were tested by using the laboratory dispersion data. Comparisons between concentration-time curves predicted by using the proposed model incorporating two different submodels show that Storage-Diffusion Model seems to be superior in explaining physical processes inside the storage zone to the Storage-Exchange Model even though accuracies of simulation results by two models are about the same. The proposed model shows significant improvement over the conventional one-dimensional dispersion model in predicting natural mixing processes in open channels.
