High-voltage dielectric discharges are an emerging technique in environmental pollutant degradation, which that are characterized by the production of hydroxyl radicals as the primary degradation species. The initiation and propagation of the electrical discharges depends on several physical, chemical, and electrical parameters such as 1st and 2nd voltage of power, gas supply, conductivity and pH. These parameters also influence the physical and chemical characteristics of the discharges, including the production of reactive species such as OH, $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$. The experimental results showed that the optimum 1st voltage and air flow rate for RNO (N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline, indicator of the generation of OH radical) degradation were 160 V (2nd voltage of is 15 kV) and 4 L/min, respectively. As the increased of the 2nd voltage (4 kV to 15 kV), RNO degradation, $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ generation were increased. The conductivity of the solution was not influencing the RNO degradation and $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ generation. The effects pH was not high on RNO degradation. However, the lower pH and the conductivity, the higher $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ generation were observed.

The rubber pads era tank which undergo dynamic deformations with the sufficient amplitudes and frequencies lead to a considerable internal temperature rise due to the heat generation. The heat generation which is dependent on the viscoelastic characteristics or a rubber is due to the conversion of partial mechanical energy into thermal energy identical to the area oi hysteresis loop. Heat generation without adequate heat dissipation leads to heat build-up and the excessive temperature rite exerts a bad influence upon the performance and the life of rubber products. In this paper, temperature distributions of the rubber pads of a tank track subjected to dynamic loads are obtained under the assumption of the steady state. Heat generation rates used in this finite element analysis are acquired through experiments and the computed temperature fields are displayed in isothermal contour regions.

In this paper, in order to know the effect of the interference, we have analyzed the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the MUD(Multi-User Detector) employing HIC(Hybrid Interference Cancellation) scheme for the asynchronous WCDMA system based on 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) Spec. through the In this paper, in order to know the effect of the interference, we have analyzed the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the MUD(Multi-User Detector) employing HIC(Hybrid Interference Cancellation) scheme for the asynchronous WCDMA system based on 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) Spec. through the computer simulation. we have assumed Rayleigh fading channel. And we have compared its BER performance with SIC's(Successive Interference Cancellation) and with PIC's(Parallel Interference Cancellation), which are the representative schemes in the subtractive interference cancellation. From the results, it is shown that PlC or HIC is effective for high data-rate users and SIC of HIC for low data-rate users to eliminate the interference. Regardless of the data rate, it is reasonable to use the HIC structure for WCDMA system to satisfy all of users' services. The reason is that the SIC scheme in front of HIC can guarantee the performance of low power users to cancel the serious interference caused by the high power users, while PIC in the rear of it can guarantee the performance of high power users to cancel the interference caused by the low power users.

Single-person households in the Seoul Metropolitan Area have increased sharply during recent 20-30 years. Despite of decreasing in the total population, the number of single-person household is predicted to increase continuously. However, the effect of single-person household growth on the domestic transport sector has not been studied concretely. In this study, the differences on trip generation characteristics by household size and attributes were figured out by analyzing Seoul Metropolitan Area Household Travel Behavior Survey (SMA-HTBS). Firstly, trip generation rates (trips/day/person) were produced by household attribute, household member attribute and trip attribute based on SMA-HTBS. Secondly, trip generation rate of single-person household and that of multi-person (2 or more) household were compared by significance test. It was found that trips generation characteristics of single-person household is quite different from those of multi-person household by housing type, residential type, living area, and transport mode. The result of this paper is expected to contribute developing more sophisticated trip generation model and transport policy reflecting trip generation characteristics of single-person household.

Very low bit rate video coding uses the inter-picture video coding method for high compression. The inter-picture video coding is coded based on the information of the previous frames so any packet loss can lead to reduce the image quality on the transmission. In this paper, we proposed the multi-stream generation method for inter-media synchronization of very low bit rate video based on TCP for reliable transmission. The proposed approach performs a reliable transmission via a TCP based protocol. This method incorporates multi-streams in order to enhance the robustness of delivery and can withstand against network jitter. Moreover, the client bandwidths are fully utilized in a highly efficient way.

IGCC(Integrated Coal Gasification and Combined Cycle) plants can be among the most advanced and environmental systems for electric energy generation from various feed stocks and is becoming more and more popular in new power generation fields. In this work, the performance of IGCC plants employing Shell gasification technology and a GE 7FB gas turbine engine was simulated using IPSEpro open-equation modeling environment for different operating conditions. Performance analyses and comparisons of all operating cases were performed based on the design cases. Discussions were focused on gas composition, syngas production rate and overall performance. The validation of key steady-state performance values calculated from the process models were compared with values from the provided heat and material balances for Shell coal gasification technology. The key values included in the validation included the inlet coal flow rate; the mass flow rate, heating value, and composition of major gas species (CO, H2, CH4, H2O, CO2, H2S, N2, Ar) for the syngas exiting the gasifier island; and the HP and MP steam flows exiting the gasifier island.

In this study short gain rough rice(Chu-cheong) with initial moisture content of around 12%(w.b.) was exposed to 3 levels of relative humidity(70, 80 and 90%) and 3 levels of temperature(20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$) of the air, in order to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of rough rice and the rate of cracked kernels which will serve as the basic data when developing the quality adjusting equipment. The result showed that the moisture content of rough rice increased rapidly during the early stages of moisture adsorption like other grains, and at least 70% of the adsorption occurred within the first 24 hours of exposure to the humid environment. Adsorption rate was more related to relative humidity than the temperature of air stream, and the higher the relative humidity, the higher the adsorption rate. And the Page's equation predicted best the adsorption process of this study. Experimental results for the crack generation during the adsorption process showed that the higher the relative humidity the more the cracked kernels, and that the temperature had little effect. An empirical equation was developed to predict the crack ratio for the conditions of this study, and Nishiyama model predicted better the crack generation than Hoerl model.

Next-generation wireless networks are expected to support a wide range of services, including high-rate data applications, Various service types request differentiated QoSs(Qualities of Service) such as minimum data rate, accuracy, fairness and so on. Although resources of radio systems are limited, for many applications, it is important that certain QoS targets are required to be met. In this paper, we propose a QoS based scheduling algorithm for next generation systems, based on analyzing previous researches, and we develop the proposed QoS algorithm only for MIMO(multi-Input Multi-Output) systems. Moreover, we subsequently prove that the proposed algorithm optimize throughput relative to prespecified target values and converge to certain throughput.

In recent years, decentralized power have been increasing due to environmental problems, liberalization of electricity markets and technological developments. These changes have led to the evolution of power generation, transmission, and distribution into discrete sectors and the division of integrated power systems. Therefore, studies are underway to efficiently supply power and reduce losses to each sector's demand. This is a major concern for system planners and operators, as it accounts for a relatively high proportion of total power, with a transmission and distribution loss of 4-6%. Therefore, this paper analyzes the status of loss management based on the current transmission and distribution loss rate of each country and transmission loss management cases of each national power company, and proposes a loss rate prediction algorithm according to the long-term transmission system plan. The proposed algorithm predicts the demand-based long-term evolution and the loss rate of the grid to which the transmission plan is applied.

Turbot Scophthalmus maximus can be cultured at a higher density and has a faster growth rate than olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, making it an attractive alternative for flounder farmers in Korea. As it is a relatively new species to Korean farming environments, there is no general farming protocol, which takes multiple generations to develop, for turbot in Korea. Nevertheless, we applied breeding technology to develop a stock, which we considered first-generation turbot. Then we compared its growth rate (an important economic trait) to different populations (the original stock of Korean turbot, French turbot, and Chinese turbot). The four different populations were grown in similar culture conditions. First-generation Korean turbots grew about 28% faster than all others. We will continue to select for important traits such as color, disease resistance, and heat tolerance in this turbot broodstock; we believe that with the appropriate selection process, Korean turbot should become competitive in the markets, and will become a major farming species in the Korean aquaculture industry.
