A buoy is a float attached by chain to the seabed to mark channels in a harbor or underwater hazards and can be classified into two major types as autonomous buoys and fixed buoys. When there is high demand such as marking channels in a harbor, monitoring ecology of ocean and environmental monitoring of coastal areas, smart buoys are developed. The smart buoys have wireless network systems such as GPS, CDMA and ZigBee. Using the GPS techniques, location and environments of buoy can be monitored and traced. However, the GPS in fixed buoy systems has a high power consumption and cost. Using many buoys on low power ZigBee basis allows dramatic reduction of the overall power consumption. In this study, it is aimed at the design of the trackable protocol for a buoy system which has low data rate and low power consumption. The proposed protocol has advantages that it can detect abnormal movement and gather trackable information without any system changes. In the introduced protocol, additional 2 bits and join request messages are used for trackable buoy system. The behaviors of improved protocol is modeled into petri-net and proved a reachability.

Representative methods for removing spilled oil include mechanical skimming, chemical treatment, burning at the surface of the spilled oil, and microbiological degradation. Among these methods, mechanical skimmer is the most efficient. Mechanical skimming can be classified into the following categories: belt-type, disk-type, weir-type, drum-type. We designed models with a submerged orifice for use in our experiments, for an objective and systematic evaluation of the recovery efficiency of mechanical skimming. Basically, oil is lighter than seawater and hence tends to float on the surface of the latter if there is sufficient time for floating. The present skimmer is kind of wear-type with the submerged orifice for seawater to be squeezed through, minimizing water content in the tank. From the experimental results, we identify the parameters that influence the oil recovery rate and recovery efficiency. The recovery efficiency can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of the oil layer in the first oil accumulative tank.

Recent trends in transport system for carrying heavy freight are that demands of a high efficiency, economic efficiency, convenience and safety are increased. Conventional transport systems were poor in transport efficiency and economic efficiency. And Safety problems can be caused to products and workers. In order to overcome these problems, an air cushion transport device with a high-pressure air is required. The air cushion transporter is a device for reducing the frictional force of floor surface and lifting the heavy freight by spraying the high-pressure air to the floor. Technology to float and transfer freight using high-pressure air is very convenient and initial cost can be reduced. In this paper, the study on the levitation performance and transport efficiency of air cushion transport system is conducted and verified that air cushion transporter has a significantly higher transport efficiency than conventional heavy handling systems.

Carrot(Daucus carota L.) seeds (CV Danver 126) were primed and then separated by density differences to improve both the percentage and time of radicle emergence. Seeds for priming were soaked in aerated distilled water for 2 days (water imbibed), 25% solution of polyethylene glycol(PEG) 6000 for 6 or 10 days, salt solution of 0.2M KNO$_3$＋0.1M $K_2$HPO$_4$ for 6 or 10 days, or mixed with Agro-Lig with 90% moisture content for 6 days and 70% moisture content for 6 or 10 days (SMP) at 2$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The greatest embryo growth and the highest radicle emergence were observed from the seeds treated SMP with 90% moisture content for 6 days among the primed treatments. After the SMP treatment, the seeds were separated into density classes with a float-sink procedure using aqueous solution of Maltrin 600 with 0.02/cm$^3$ density increments. The lower density classes of the carrot seeds, the more embryo growth, the higher and the faster rates of radicle emergence were exhibited in order from 1.06 to 1.14 density classes of the carrot seeds treated SMP.

Recently, there are many real life applications that uses drones. There are various applications such as the aerial shot with the drones for the broadcasting service or drone racing competition and so on. Specifically, they patrol for the traffic enforcement on a highway. The police department use the 'Spot Mobility' method which float the drones for 30 minute period. However, this method is inefficient for the wide area with small numbers of enforcement. Therefore, a wireless network system consists of drones to patrol on the highway systematically is required. In this paper, the most efficient routing protocol will be selected for the MANET drone network by applying various routing protocols. To accomplish this, the drone patrol network system with routing protocols are designed and simulated in OPNET simulator.

In order to improve the structural safety and light-weight design of aircraft floats, natural frequency and static stress analysis are performed under water and ground landing conditions. A finite element mesh based on the design configuration of light aircraft floats is modeled, and simplified water and ground landing loads are applied to this model. The natural frequency and stress analysis of aluminum-alloy floats are carried out first. Then, the structural performance of the floats is re-analyzed in the case of laminated composites, and the numerical results are compared each other. It is concluded that, by tailoring the laminated composites with respect to stacking sequence and ply thickness, the structural safety of the light-weight floats can be improved.

Although the bubble-floc agglomerate floated and formed the float layer on the surface of the water in the DAF process, after inducing in the thickening tank a part of the bubble-floc agglomerate come up again to the surface and the other is settled at the bottom of the tank. The bubble-floc agglomerate divided into two group as the scum on the surface and the sludge of the bottom gives rise to operational troubles for the thickening process. In order to find out the cause of break-up and the effective thickening method for sludge from the DAF process, the composition of the bubble-floc agglomerate was investigated and a series of flotation experiments carried out. There was no difference of composition between the scum on the surface and the sludge of the bottom in the thickening tank. The coagulation was not effective to improve the trouble that the bubble-floc agglomerate divided into the scum and the sludge. It was estimated that for the bubble-floc agglomerate of thickening tank the trouble was caused by not the change or the difference of chemical composition but whether the bubble-floc agglomerate hold bubbles. Furthermore, for the effective thickening of sludge from the DAF process, it is required an additional flotation applied the AS ratio depending upon the solid concentration of sludge as the operation parameter.

카네기 천문대에서 주도하여 개발 중인 구경 25.4m GMT 망원경 사업에 한국도 공식적으로 참여하였다. 현재 한국천문연구원은 GMT(Giant Magellan Telescope)부경부를 국내에서 개발하고자 이와 관련된 연구를 진행하고 있다. GMT 부경은 직경 1.06m 오목거울 7장이 모여 전체 직경 3.2m인 타원면을 형성하고 초점비는 F/0.7이다. GMT 부경개발 선행 연구과제로 카네기 천문대에서 개발되어 현재 운용중인 구경 6.5m 마젤란 망원경의 부경을 선택하였는데, 이는 마젤란 부경의 형상과 직경, 부경시스템 운영방식이 GMT 와 유사하기 때문이다. 천체관측 망원경에서 거울면의 변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 거울의 자중이다. 거울의 직경이 커지면 자중이 증가하게 되어 거울면의 처짐이 커지게 된다. 이를 극복하고자 다양한 거울 support들이 개발되었다. 그중에서 counterweight lever 시스템 같은 부양(float) 시스템은 자중의 영향을 보상해 줌으로써 그것에 의한 거울의 변형을 최소화하는 역할을 하는데, GMT 부경 개발에 근간이 되는 마젤란 부경 또한 부양 시스템을 도입하였다. 마젤란 부경의 부양시스템은 counterweight lever 시스템과 유사한 진공 시스템을 도입하였다. 마젤란 부경의 support는 axial 방향으로 거울을 지지하는 axial support와 lateral 방향으로 거울을 지지하는 lateral support가 있는데, 이중에서 axial support가 진공시스템으로 구성된다. Lateral 방향의 지지는 경량화된 거울의 hole 안에 3개의 판스프링을 삽입하여 단지 거울과 판스링의 강성에 의해서만 이루어진다. 이 논문에서는 망원경이 작동을 할때 즉, 천정각(zenith angle)이 변할 때 axial support와 lateral support의 조합(combination)에 의해 지지되는 마젤란 부경의 표면 정밀도 RMS 값을 비교하였다.

Deleuze and Guattari revive the educational meaning of training. For them, "a violent training" always penetrates unconsciousness and consciousness. For example, we can float on water only by swimming. There is a complex historical exploration on the subject of training. Socrates distinguishes the training of spirit from that of the body, so he secures the independence of educational language. This heritage continues to us until today. However, Foucault argues that, since the modern era, humans have accepted an active obedience by "disciplinary training". Nowadays, the term "skill discipline" is also reduced to business language, and we should overcome this situation. Deleuze and Guattari suggest a "becoming-other" argument predicated on "pre-conscious singularities" on this point. The training of spirit evolves in relation to a body and other circumstance for them. Therefore, the traditional hierarchy between spirit and body is erased in their argument. Ironically, this argument displays "educational effectiveness" to success Socrates's heritage subverting to the modern thinking of it. In conclusion, we can now rethink the educational value of training based on this effectiveness. Kyudo training is an excellent example of education through body and spirit.

The apparent molal volumes(${\phi}_v$) of the homologous salts $RNH_3Cl$, where R varies from methyl-($CH_{3^-}$) to n-butyl-(n-$C_4H_{9^-}$) in a series of methanol-water mixtures have been determined at 30$^{\circ}C$ by means of a float method to fifth decimal places down to 0.01 m. The values of ${\phi}_r$ extrapolated to infinite dilution give partial molal volumes $\bar{V}^{\circ}$which varies considerably in accordance with the solvent composition. that is, mole fraction of methanol. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the varying size and charge effect, hydrophobic nature of the solute species, and also the additivity relationship between successive homologous and the structure of the binary solvent. The results indicate that at 0.1 mole fraction methanol the enhanced structuredness of water cause a minimum in the partial molal volumes of cations $\bar{V}^{\circ}_+$, while at 0.4 mole fraction the solvent structure is such that the free volume is a minimum but the effect of electrostriction is a maximum.
