Hydrological models with many parameters and complex model structures require a powerful and detailed model calibration/validation scheme. In this study, we proposed a multi-variable and multi-site calibration and validation framework for the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model applied in the Gap-cheon catchment located downstream of the Geum river basin. The sensitivity analysis conducted before main calibration helped understand various hydrological processes and the characteristics of subcatchments by identifying sensitive parameters in the model. In addition, the model's parameters were estimated based on existing data prior to calibration in order to increase the validity of model. The Nash-Sutcliffe coefficients and correlation coefficient were used to estimate compare model output with the observed streamflow data: $R_{eff}\;and\;R^2$ ranged 0.41-0.84 and 0.5-0.86, respectively, at the Heuduck station. Model reproduced baseflow estimated using recursive digital filter except for 2-5% overestimation at the Sindae and Boksu stations. Model also reproduced the temporal variability and fluctuation magnitude of observed groundwater levels with $R^2$ of 0.71 except for certain periods. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of multi-variable and multi-site method provided high confidence for the structure and estimated parameter values of the model.

Purpose: The old reference range of serum anion gap(AG) may be excessive compared with value measured by new electrolyte analyzers. Therefore, we studied to establish a new reference range of AG using an autoanalyzer. Methods: With the use of analyzer(Hitachi 747 by enzymatic methods), serum Na and Cl were measured, and with the use of analyzer(CX-3 by differental rage pH), serum $TCO_2$ was measured. We measured AG(=Na-($Cl+HCO_3$)) in 395 stable patients with normal serum albumin and creatinine levels of the pediatric in-patients and out-patients for preoperative examination from march 1997 to July 1997. Results: The normal serum$ AG(mean{\pm}SD)$ were neonate, $11.2{\pm}3.2$ mEq/L; infancy, $11.8{\pm}2.7$ mEq/L; early childhood, $12{\pm}2.7$ mEq/L; late childhood, $11.7{\pm}3.2$ mEq/L; adolescence, $9.6{\pm}2.7$ mEq/L; adult, $9.0{\pm}2.7$ mEq/L. Normal serum AG in more than 10 years of age was significantly lower than the previous normal value and also the difference of AG between more than 10 years and less than 10 years was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions: We suggest to measure serum AG according to each type of analyzers.

$CO_2$ emission has been gradually increased due to rising fossil fuel use. A gliding arc plasma scrubber (GAPS) was proposed to destruct $CO_2$. For optimum design of GAPS, a CFD analysis has been conducted in different configuration for the system. The parameters considered included gas injection velocity at the nozzle and gas flow rate to gap between electrodes. The reactor configuration affected velocity fields which caused changes in the mixture fraction and the retention time. The mixing effect of $CO_2$ and supplied gas ($CH_4$ and steam) was enhanced by installing a orifice baffle. This revealed that the orifice baffle is effective in $CO_2$ conversion by positioning the reactants in the gas into the center of plasma discharge.

This paper is to see the availability of electrical signatures as a means for evaluating the performance and monitoring mechanical anomalies of (MOVs). To estimate motor torque, two methods such as d-q frame conversion and air-gap method are suggested and estimated results are compared with measured values. The error between measured and estimated torques is within acceptable error bound with below $1\%$ under varied load. Frequency domain analysis of calculated torque has been done as well. It is shown that monitoring of peak frequency could give useful clues to detect anomalies of MOV. As results, electrical signatures at MOV motor is expected to be an available tool for estimation of motor capacity and monitoring of electrical and mechanical abnormalities.

A contingency model of outsourcing is developed from the information systems (IS) literature and strategic management literature in order to assess the following question: What factors influence change in the extent to which an organization outsources IS functions? Based on the literature, this study identifies four IS factors-gaps in information quality, IS support quality, IS staff quality, and IS cost effectiveness-and three organizational factors-the gap in financial performance, strategic orientation, and the role of information technology in an organization-that influence the change in degree of outsourcing. These factors are hypothesized to influence the change in the extent of an organization's outsourcing of IS functions. From a mail survey of 188 top IS executives in U.S. companies, the results of analysis of covariance and bivariate correlational and multivariate regression analyses provide the following major findings: (a) This study found support for the proposed research model. (b) The change in the degree of IS outsourcing is determined by gaps in information quality, IS support quality, IS cost effectiveness, and financial performance and by the role of IT among IS and organizational factors.

To connect the gap on the contours at the summit area, we propose the linear interpolation in the polar coordinates. Tn the experiments of applying both existing algorithms and a proposed method to some graphic images, the proposed method generated curves that average MAE was 1.940 pixels. In particular, our method with MAE of 1.240 on real map image was superior than the others. Also by generating new curves with neighbors-resembled appearance, the contours were reconstructed seamlessly.

This study compares the concrete using natural sand with the concrete using crush sand for the examination for the properties of a concrete. In the fresh concrete, the concrete using crush sand has less of the quantity of consistency, the content of air, and bleeding than the concrete using natural sand, and the concrete using crush sand has faster setting time than the concrete using natural sand. In hardening concrete, the concrete using crush sand has higher compressive strength and tensile strength than the concrete using natural sand because minute particles fill up a gap. Drying shrinkage of the concrete using natural sand is less than the concrete using crush sand.

이동체 탑재형 안테나는 특성상 소형화 및 신호 추적 시간 단축이 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 특성은 위상변위기를 이용한 전자적인 빔 조향 방식으로 한층 더 보완할 수 있다. 현재 이동체에서 주로 사용되고 있는 DBS (Direct Broadcasting Satellite) 수신용 안테나는 패치 및 슬롯 형태의 안테나 소자를 배열하여 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 안테나 소자는 전방위각에 대해 인공위성 방향(앙각 45도)에서 이득 손실이 있기 때문에 위상변위기를 이용한 빔 조향 방식에서 사용하기에는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 모든 방위각에 대해 앙각 45도에서 최대 이득 특성을 갖는 안테나 소자를 이용해 이득 손실을 줄이는 것은 큰 의미가 있다. 본 논문에서는 monopole 주변에 PBG(Photonic Band Gap) 구조를 구현함으로써 표면파를 억제하여 앙각 45도 방향에서 최대 이득 특성을 보이는 안테나 소자를 제안한다.

최근에 특정 주파수 대역에서 전자기파의 전파를 억제하는 주기 구조인 PBG(Photonic Band Gap) 구조에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 선로에서 사용될 수 있는 새로운 PBG cell을 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 단일 cell 만으로도 대역저지 특성을 얻을 수 있고, cell의 치수를 조절하여 저지대역을 조절할 수 있다. 또한, 방사 효과 등으로 인한 손실을 고려하여 정확한 등가 모델링을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 구조를 마이크로스트립 패치안테나의 하모닉 억제를 위해 사용하여 그 유용성을 입증하였다.

본 연구는 무선 및 사용자요구사항 등 환경의 변화에 따라 부반송파(subcarrier) 할당, 변조방식 및 전력량을 조절하는 적응형 다중사용자 OFDM 시스템을 다룬다. 먼저 사용자별 전송요구 비트수 및 전체 사용가능한 전력량에 대한 제약 조건하에서 총 데이터 전송량(Throughput)을 최대화하는 최적화 문제를 모형화한다. 이 문제는 대부분의 기존 연구들을 포함할 수 있을 정도로 포괄적이지만 미분이 불가능한 비선형 최적화 문제이면서도 빠른 계산시간을 요구한다. 본 연구는 쌍대간격(Duality Gap)이 0이라는 제안 문제의 특성을 바탕으로 하여 Subgradient 쌍대최적화(Dual Optimization) 기법을 적용한다. 또한 이러한 접근법은 사용자 또는 무선환경의 변화에 적극적으로 적응하는 무선자원 할당 메커니즘을 제시한다.
