  • This study is focused to analyze the movement of thermal effluent dischargeed from nuclear power plant by season, ebb and flow, and before and after foundation of tide embankment using thermal infrared band image of 28 scenes observed from Landsat from 1987 to 2004, which is the early stage of operation of young-kwang nuclear power plant. In diffusion of thermal effluent discharge by seasons, spring and summer is spreading further than autumn and winter. It is considered to distribute widely mixed with thermal effluent discharge and hot water, which is distributed naturally along the seaside. It is known the fact that tidal currents control the direction of diffusion of thermal effluent discharge by the change of ebb and flow. Namely, it is distributed widely on the Southwest direction along the seaside by tidal currents when ebb and, it is moved widely on the Northeast direction along the seaside by tidal current when flood. However, in the early stage of flood current, the mainstream of thermal effluent discharge is spread on Southwest direction and, the direction is changed on North­east way when the latter period of flood current. Similarly, in the early stage of ebb current, the mainstream of thermal effluent discharge is spread on Northeast direction and, the direction is changed on Southwest direction when the latter period of ebb current. As the result of comparing to the diffusion pattern of thermal effluent discharge before and after the foundation of seawall, discharged thermal effluent from the drain of plant by the foundation of dike is shown as curved circle pattern on Northeast to West direction from the ending portion of the seawall.

  • The best way to express space effectively on internet is to use 3D VR(Virtual Reality) contents. But it is too difficult to control the 3D VR space with the 2D device. So the content makers cannot solve this problem easily. Besides they define the UI control in their own subjective way which makes the users confused. The purpose of this study is to present the grounds for the Control UI standardization by studying the deriving improvement direction. First of all, we categorize current control UI designs for space-VR on web service by controlling method features into three Types. Next we itemize the main improvement direction that is based on our analysis. First, the UI design that maintains for a typical 2D Input Device method to help the beginner users. Secondly, the concise UI that allows users to Immerse easily in VR. Thirdly, the control level construction that satisfies both users who are skillful at 3D games and users who have little experience with these devices. In this way, we propose the most suitable control UI model that satisfies these improvement directions. We expect the result of our study to serve as an important basis for the standardization of VR services.

  • The Structures or buildings nowadays draw more complexity in design due to space limitation and other factor that affect the height and dimensions, that results to instability. So the various methods have been carried out to improve the safety factor from an earthquake or a boom until recently. But, it is very hard to get model precisely because these structures are the non-linear and multi-variable systems. For this reason, we developed the active control system that is applied the adaptive control method on the U type Tuned Liquid Damper(TLD) passive control system. It is proven that the proposed active control strategy of the plate carrying U type TLD system is the more effective control method to suppress the vibration of the structure. The entire hybrid control system is composed of the actuator acted in the opposite direction of the TLD system's motion direction and the active control device with an air pressure adjuster. This paper proposed the adaptive control methods to improve the problem of U type TLD system which is used widely for the passive control of the building. And it is proved by the simulation. In advanced, it is developed the pressure control method that is improved the hybrid controller's performance by using air chamber pressure controller. These methods take the advantage of the decrease of the maximum displacement by using the controller as soon as the impact is loaded. This is a very important element for the safety design and economic design of structures.

  • Forestry crane work in a forest harvester or forwarder is regarded as one of most hard work requiring a very high level of operation skill. The operator must handle two or more multi-axes joysticks simultaneously to control the multiple manipulators for maneuvering the crane-tip to its intended location. This study has been carried out to develop a crane-tip controller which can intuitively maneuver the crane-tip, resulting in improving the productivity by decreasing the technical difficulty of control as well as reducing the workload. The crane-tip controller consists of a single 2-axis joystick and a control algorithm run on microcontroller. Lab-scale forestry crane was constructed using electric cylinders. The crane-tip control algorithm has the crane-tip follow the waypoints generated on the given path considering the dead band region using LBO (Lateral Boundary Offset). A speed control gain to change the speed of relevant cylinders relatively is applied as well. By the P (Proportional) control within the control interval of 20 msec, the average error of crane-tip control on the predefined straight path turned out to be 14.5 mm in all directions. When the joystick is used the waypoints are generated in real time by the direction signal from the joystick. In this case, the average error of path control was 12.4 mm for straight up, straight forward and straight down movements successively at a certain constant speed setting. In the slant movement of crane-tip by controlling two axes of joystick simultaneously, the movement of crane-tip was controlled in the average error of 15.9 mm when the crane-tip is moved up and down while moving toward forward direction. It concluded that the crane-tip control was possible using the control algorithm developed in this study.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the consistent presentation of illustrations about the aligning direction of the Axis on the middle school students' acquisition and retention of astronomical concepts. This study was taken using the nonequivalent control-group pretest-posttest design on 116 7th middle school subjects. The same teaching and learning activities were given to both the experimental (n=59) and control groups (n=57) through three lessons. The experimental group was given a consistent presentation of the illustrations about the aligning direction of the Axis, while the control group was given an inconsistent presentation of the same illustrations about aligning direction. Two days after the three lessons, the 1st posttest was administered to compare the statistical difference of mean of both groups, using ANCOVA test. The result of ANCOVA test implicated that the consistent presentation of the illustrations about the aligning direction of the Axis had a positive influence on the experimental group's acquisition of the concepts. The 2nd posttest result for retention effect was given two month later by one-paired t-Test in each group and showed that the method had a positive effect on the experimental group, compared with control group. The results of this study implicated that paying careful attention to using the consistent illustration is highly beneficial for students' meaningful learning on astronomical concepts.

  • As robot technology advances, research on the driving system of mobile robots is actively being conducted. The driving system of a mobile robot configured based on two-wheels and four-wheels has an advantage in unidirectional driving such as a straight line, but has disadvantages in turning direction and rotating in place. A ball robot using a ball as a wheel has an advantage in omnidirectional movement, but due to its structurally unstable characteristics, balancing control to maintain attitude and driving control for movement are required. By estimating the position from an encoder attached to the motor, conventional ball robots have a limitation, which causes the accumulation of errors during driving control. In this study, a driving control system was proposed that estimates the position coordinates of a ball robot through image processing and uses it for driving control. A driving control system including an image processing unit, a communication unit, a display unit, and a control unit for estimating the position of the ball robot was designed and manufactured. Through the driving control experiment applying the driving control system of the ball robot, it was confirmed that the ball robot was controlled within the error range of ±50.3mm in the x-axis direction and ±53.9mm in the y-axis direction without accumulating errors.

  • In this study, eleven major coastal areas were selected and the climate environment and the greenhouse direction were analyzed. This research investigates the greenhouse heat loss according to the wind environment at target areas. The target areas were selected based on heated greenhouse cultivation area and wind environment standard. Temperature, wind speed, and wind direction among weather data for 30 years were collected and analyzed. The data were divided into the minimum, average, and maximum temperatures and the Meteorological Agency criteria applied to the weather and wind direction criteria. Data were collected in the range of $0{\sim}180^{\circ}$ considering the symmetry of the shape of the greenhouse. In addition, the wind direction is different for each region and the applied wind direction can be different when referring to the longitudinal direction of the greenhouse and the data are collected in the range of $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$. The results of this study are expected to be used to calculate the heating load of greenhouse installed in places wind speed high.
