This study was conducted to investigate the impact of the anthropogenic factors affecting distribution of the Red-crowned Crane and White-naped Crane wintering in Cheorwon, Korea. Especially, it was investigated that the impact power and its range of the anthropogenic effect to the feeding flock density in cranes due to the paved road, residential area, military facilities and greenhouse density. The Red-crowned Crane and the White-naped Crane showed the similar preference and sensitivity against anthropogenic factors, because correlation of feeding flock density of the Red-crowned Crane and White-naped Crane was similar in the same site. The feeding flock density of the cranes near the residential area was lower than that of area far from the area, and tended to increase within 2.5 km distance. The increasing tendencies of feeding flock density from military facilities and high traffic volume road were similar, but the density in military facilities increased within 0.8 km, and the density from high traffic volume road increased within 2 km. This results suggested that military facilities and the road with high traffic volume made significant influence on foraging densities to the certain range. As the distance from the road with low traffic volume increased, feeding flock density tended to decrease. The area near the low traffic volume road had high feeding flock density because remaining rice grains were preserved by intermittent disturbances in that area. If the density of greenhouse is lower than $40/km^2$, feeding flock density in the low greenhouses density area was higher than high greenhouses density area. However, there was no difference in the feeding flock density if the density of the green houses is higher than $40/km^2$.

In TIG welding of pipe, back bead size monitoring is important for weld quality assurance. Many researches have been performed on estimation of the back bead size by heat conduction analysis. However numerical conduction model based on many uncertain thermal parameters causes remarkable errors and thermomechanical phenomena in molten pool can not be considered. In this paper, filler wire feeding force in addition to weld current, wire feedrate, torch travel speed and orbital position angle is monitored to estimate back bead size in orbital TIG welding. Monitored welding process variables are fed into an artificial neural network estimator which has been trained with the monitored process variables (input patterns) and actual back bead size (output patterns). Experimental verification of the proposed estimation method was performed. The predicted results are in a good agreement with the actual back bead shape. The results are quite promising in that estimation of invisible back bead shape can be achieved by analyzing the welding parameters without any conventional NDT of welds.

Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-gatherer, collector-filterer, predator, scrapper, and shredder) of benthic macro invertebrates. Each sampling site was categorized to three stream types (perennial, intermittent and drought) based on the water flow condition. Exergy values were low at all study sites right after a heavy rain and relatively higher in the perennial stream type than in the intermittent or the drought stream type. Self-Organizing Map (SOM), unsupervised artificial neural network, was implemented to pattern spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological exergy of the study sites. SOM classified samples into four clusters. The classification reflected the effects of floods and droughts on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and was mainly related with the stream types of the sampling sites. Exergy values of each functional feeding group also responded differently according to the different stream types. Finally, the results showed that exergy is an effective ecological indicator, and patterning changes of exergy using SOM is an effective way to evaluate target ecosystems.

In AC railway feeding system, three phase received from the network is changed to two phase power sources with different phases. The main circuit breaker installed train is automatically open by track signal when the train passes the neutral section. In order to continuously supply power source to train, the changeover system was used in Japan. Therefore, the train is able to operate under powering condition when it was passing through the neutral section. We investigated the control method to reduce the inrush current flowing main transformer in train. To examine the inrush current and operate the static semiconductor switch such as thyristor, we manufactured the small scale the changeover system and carried out performance tests.

In this paper, We have designed, fabricated and measured a stacked planar antenna for Ultra-Wideband communication. Radiation parts of the antenna have exponential curve and fed by strip feeding network. We have used the HFSS of Ansoft to simulate the antenna. It was designed to work on a substrate Teflon of thickness 1.575mm and relative permittivity 3.2. The proposed antenna covered the entire UWB band( 3.1GHz $\sim$ 10.6GHz ) for S11$\leq$l0dB. Also the proposed antenna show a good characteristics, linear phase, omni -directional pattern lot UWB applications. Besides the measured results have a reasonable agreement with the simulated results.

In this paper, Streaming Current Monitor (SCM), Pilot Filter (PF) and Coagulant Feeding System(CFS) for fuzzy neural network are used as a coagulation control method in WTP and the results are compared. Several parameters such as coagulant dosage, pH, and turbidity have been changed to find the response characteristic of each equipment. SCM, PF and CFS responded for certain parameters but the range of sensitivity was different each other. It is demonstrated that WTP will be operated more efficiently when SCM, PF and CFS are used as coagulation control strategy.

과거 전화교환사업에 있어서 치국점을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소는 동선로의 기술적인 성능한계였다. 즉, 전력과 신호를 동시에 공급하는 동선로가 갖는 감쇠제한과 신호제한을 극복할수 있는 위치에 전화국을 건설하여 왔다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나, 광통신 기술의 발전과, VoIP의 출현에 따라 이와 같은 제한요소들은 점차 극복되기에 이르렀고, 과거 통신사업자의 중대한 고민이었던 치국의 중요성은 점점 감소하고 있다. 특히, 신도시, u-City 개발 등을 통하여, 통신 인프라가 구축되어있지 않은 지역(본 고에서는 신규개발지역이라고 함.)의 통신망계획에 있어서, 통신사업자들은 현재의 가용한 기술을 최대한 활용하여 경제적이고도 효율적인 통신망을 구축하고자 시도하여야 할 것이다. 그럼에도, 기존의 통신 사업자가 쉽게 전화 서비스를 광통신 인프라로 전환하기 어려운 것은 VoIP 기술을 차용한 전화 서비스가 시내전화사업으로 인정받기 위해서는 긴급통신의 제공과 함께 정전시 통화기능을 필수적으로 구현하여야 한다는 점에 있다. 이에, 본 고에서는 인터넷 접속과 전화를 동시에 제공할 수 있는 대표적인 솔루션을 정형화하고, 각 모델별 전력공급방안에 관하여 고찰하고자 한다.

Bandwidth enhancement technique for a proximity coupled patch antenna is investigated. The bandwidth and radiation characteristics of a proximity coupled patch antenna with an integrated impedance matching network printed on substrates with various dielectric constants and thicknesses are compared to those of a proximity coupled patch antenna without an impedance matching network. The bandwidth of a proximity coupled patch antenna with an integrated impedance matching network is greatly increased than that of a proximity coupled patch antenna without an impedance matching network without the degradation of radiation characteristics.

Coagulation process is one of the most important processes in water treatment procedures for stable and economical operation, and coagulant dosing of this process for most plants is generally determined by the jar test. However, this method does not only take a long time to analyze and get the result but also has difficulties in applying to automatic control. This paper shows the feasibility of applying neural network to control the coagulant dosing automatically in water treatment plant. To be specific, the predicted results of the neural network model is shown to be similar to that of jar test. The input variables for learning the neural network are turbidity, water temperature, pH, and alkalinity. Combining the neural network and SCD(Streaming Current Detector) for feedforward and feedback control of injecting coagulant, a rapid change of the raw water quality can be accommodated.
