In this study, one of the techniques on the extension of low flow series has been developed, in which the daily streamflows were simulated by the Tank model with the input of extended daily rainfall series which were stochastically generated by the Markov chain model. The annual lowest flow serried for each of the given durations were formulated form the simulated daily streamflow sequences. The frequency of the estimated annual lowest flow series was analyzed. The distribution types to be used for the frequency analysis were two-parameter and three-parameter log-normal distribution, two-parameter and three-parameter Gamma distribution, three-parameter log-Gamma distribution, Gumbel distribution, and Weibull distribution, of which parameters were estimated by the moment method and the maximum likelihood method. The goodness-of-fit test for probability distribution is evaluated by the Kolmogorov-Sminrov test. The fitted distribution function for each duration series is applied to frequency analysis for developing duration-low flow-frequency curves at Yongdam Dam station. It was shown that the purposed technique in this study is available to generate the daily streamflow series with fair accuracy and useful to determine the probabilistic low flow in the watersheds having the poor historic records of low flow series.

Current bridge design codes do not clearly specify the girder distribution factors for continuous bridges. The objective of the paper is to validate the use of code-specified girder distribution factors for the continuous steel girder bridges, and to provide a basis for recommended girder distribution factors (GDF) for interior girders, suitable for evaluation of existing continuous steel girder bridges. This paper presents the procedure and results of 3-dimensional finite element analysis that were performed on five of continuous steel girder bridges to verify girder distribution factors. The analysis results showed that the live load moment distribution at the negative moment region is very similar to those at the positive moment region in continuous steel girder bridges. It was also found that the GDF's based on the strain values are similar to those based on the deflection. GDF's based on the deflection show marginally better distribution. The analysis results confirmed that the code specified GDF's for continuous steel girder birdges are very conservative.

The void distribution in concrete materials strongly affects its material properties. Therefore, the identification of spatial distribution of void is important to understand and estimate material behavior. To examine and quantify the void distribution inside lightweight aggregates, CT(computed tomography) image is used. 3D lightweight aggregate images are generated by stacking of cross-sectional images from CT. Spatial distribution of void of aggregate along the direction is visualized on the sphere using probability distribution function. Stiffness of lightweight aggregate for the directions is also examined. It is confirmed that direction-based probability distribution and stiffness from CT images are effective in characterizing void distributions of aggregates.

This paper proposes a dynamic job distribution algorithm in a hybrid NoC structure which can improve system network performance by reducing deadlock and packet drop rate for various multimedia applications. The proposed job distribution algorithm schedules every job to the sub-cluster where packet drop rate can be minimized for each multimedia application program. The proposed Job distribution algorithm and network topology targets multimedia applications frequently used in modern embedded systems, such as MPEG4 and MP3 decoder, GPS positioning system, and OFDM demodulator. Experimental results show that packet drop rate was reduced by about 13.0%, and chip area was increased by about 2.7% compared to the APSRA algorithm. When compared to the XY algorithm popularly used for benchmarking, the packet drop rate was reduced by about 23.9%, while chip area was increased by about 3.0%.

The latest flow in Korea's distribution market is characterized by the deterioration of small/medium distribution market due to the rapid growth of multinational discount stores. As various multinational discount stores have merged with Korean discount stores (Homever acquired Carrefour and E-Mart acquired Wal-Mart), these discount stores have enlarged in size and dominated the market. On the contrary, small/medium distributors with relatively weak infrastructures are losing competitiveness in the market. Traditional marketplaces in local areas, in particular, are facing a serious crisis as they are neglected in the depressed local markets and have been beaten by the increasing discount stores and the diversifying distributors. The purpose of this study was to propose alternative plans to revitalize traditional marketplaces that are endangered by the unbalanced development of the distribution industry. This study analyzed the distribution performances and problems of Daejeon Metropolitan City and used the analysis to point out the problems specific to traditional marketplaces and propose a way to revitalize them. I hope that this study can help discount stores and small/medium distributors find balance in the market, and give traditional marketplaces the competitiveness to pursue sustainable growth.

The girder wheel load distribution factors stated in the Korean Bridge Specification and AASHTO Standard Specifications do not account for the effect of skewness of plate girders, and very little research has been conducted on girder wheel load distribution factors. The purpose of the study is to propose load distribution factor formulas for skew plate girder bridges which comprise various parameters through structural analysis. To comprise the validity of finite element models used in this study analytic values are compared with the field test results. From the results it should be noted that span length is not such a dominant parameter compared with others. In view of better load distribution of interior girders, skew arranged cross beams or bracing are preferable, furthemore bracing system is more effective than cross beam system. By means of regression analysis on the basis of analytic results wheel load distribution factor formulas are proposed and compared with current codes.

The distribution of three typical warm-temperate evergreen trees, Quercus acuta Thunb., Neolitsea sericea (Blume) Koidz., and Machilus thunbergii Siebold & Zucc., were surveyed on the Korean Peninsula based on field and specimen investigations and the distribution maps of the three species were prepared. The distribution patterns of the species correspond to the south coast floristic region in Korea, which includes the distributional areas of Jeju-do, Isl. Ulleung, the southern coastal areas, and the areas up to the islands around Incheon in the Yellow Sea. The northernmost limit of the distribution of Quercus acuta is Isl. Nap of Incheon in the west, and a new distribution was found at Isl. Ulleung in the East Sea; additionally, the limit of Neolitsea sericea is the Deojoek archipelago of Incheon. The northernmost limit of Machilus thunbergii is Isl. Daecheong of Incheon, which is the highest latitude among those of the three species. This distribution survey of evergreen broad-leaved trees in Korea can be used as basic data for the delimitation of floristic regions and as a bio-indicator of climatic change.

In this paper, a miniaturized distribution line was experimentally made. The smart grid distribution system was modeled by analyzing the distribution system, and a miniaturized micro three phase distribution system recloser was designed. The micro recloser was designed as a sensor part, a main part and a relay part, and the main part was designed to cut off the fault current by determining the fault from the input current based on the DSP. Finally, based on the results of the modeling, the micro three phase power distribution line and the micro three phase recloser were experimentally fabricated, and the basic making technology of the miniaturized micro smart grid was obtained through the making process.

This paper examines and estimates GARCH-VaR models (RiskMetrics, GARCH, IGARCH, GJR and APARCH) with three different distributions such as Gaussian normal, Student-t, Skewness Student-t Distribution using the daily price data from Korean Stock Market during Jan. 1, 1980-Sept. 30, 2004. It also compares them. In-sample test, this finds that for all confidence level as $90%{\sim}99.9%$, the performance and accuracy of IGARCH with ${\lambda}=0.87$ and skewness Student-t distribution are superior to other models and distributions in long position, but GARCH and GJR with Skewness Student-t distribution in short position. For above 99% confidence level, the performance and accuracy of IGARCH with ${\lambda}=0.87$ in both long and short positions are superior to other models and distributions, but Skewness Student-t distribution for long position and Student-t distribution for short position are more accuracy and superior to other distributions. In-out-of sample test, these results also confirm the evidences that the above findings are consistent as well.

Particle-size distribution in soils is one of the most fundamental physical properties of soils. One of the latest developments in the study of particle-size distributions has focused on the use of fractal theories. In this study, the fragmentation fractals were used for determining the characteristics of the particle-size distribution curve. It was shown that the mass-size distribution method was more practical than the cumulative number-size distribution method. From the co-relation between fractal dimensions($D_{tot}$) and the coefficient of uniformity($C_{u}$), there was a sharp increase in fractal dimensions for $C_{u}$<4, but fractal dimension converged the single value for $D_{u}$$\geq$6. Fractal dimensions were affected by small sized particles for $C_{c}$$\geq$3 and large sized particles for $C_{c}$/<3. As a result of the analysis of the influence of the effective size($D_{10}$), it was observed that the changes of $D_{tot}$/ were nominal beyond the effective size.
