The spectroscopic characteristics of Madagascar tourmaline were investigated by UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. Physical features were similar to other region's tourmalines. The green and blue samples showed strong absorption band in the 714~743 nm due to $Fe^{3+}$, pink samples showed strong absorption band in the 510~530 nm due to $Mn^{3+}$, brown samples showed strong absorption at 324 nm due to $Mn^{2+}-Ti^{4+}$ IVCT and the colorless samples only revealed weak absorption at 406~413 nm or no absorptions due to low quantity of Mn. Combination of the stretching and bending mode cationic hydroxyl units (metal-OH) are observed in the 4300~4500 $cm^{-1}$. The parallel tube-shaped inclusions which contain hematite were detected generally. This investigation revealed that Cu was not detected but Fe and Mn were detected in the Madagascar tourmalines, and the various colors appear according to the amount of those impurity elements.

M $g_{1-x}$ Z $n_{x}$O thin films with various composition x of ZnO were fabricated by a RF magnetron sputtering method, which is expected to improve the electro-optical properties of the conventional MgO protective layer for AC-PDP. Test panels with the $Mg_{1-x}$Z $n_{x}$O protective layer have been fabricated in order to investigate the effects of ZnO doping on the electrical characteristics of devices such as the discharge voltages and the memory gain. Experimental results revealed that test panels with the $Mg_{1-x}$Z $n_{x}$O(x=0.5at%) protective layer show lower firing and sustain voltages than those seen in panels with MgO protective layer by 20V. resulting in an increasement of the memory coefficient. In addition, it was found that test panels with the $Mg_{1-x}$Z $n_{x}$O protective layer show higher discharge intensity, i. e., higher plasma density, compared with panels with MgO protective layer.ve layer.layer.

This study analyzed the quality characteristics of black garlic made from Seosan Yukjok Garlic and elephant garlic in Seosan, Chungnam province. Of the inorganic components, Mg content was the highest in all treatment groups, and the Ca content was high in each of the 15 day treatments. The content of K was high after 10 days aging in Yukjok garlic and after 15 days in the elephant garlic. The Fe, Na, K, and Mg content was high in Yukjok black garlic after 15 days, and Na, K, Ca, and Mg were high in the elephant black garlic aged for 15 days. The crude fat content was high in both Yukjok black garlic and elephant black garlic after 15 days. Vitamin C content was highest in both types of garlic after aging for 15 days. An analysis of four kinds of organic acids showed that citric acid was the only organic acid to appear in raw garlic of Yukjok garlic and elephant garlic. Black Yukjok garlic and elephant black garlic had a greater total amino acid content than the raw garlic of either type. However, among the tested amino acids, 13 kinds of amino acids were at their highest after five days of ripening in Yukjok black garlic, while 15 kinds of amino acids were abundant in elephant garlic after the same period. Eight kinds of amino acids were high after aging for 15 days. Through this study, it was confirmed that, in the process of making black garlic, changes in the main components of the garlic occur through different routes, and these changes vary depending on the garlic species. Therefore, this study provided basic data for the processing of Seosan's Yukjok black garlic and elephant black garlic.

The "Historic city Preservative law" was legislated for the preservation of cultural properties and enacting regulations of managing the environment around them in 2004. This law was revised to "Historic city Preservative and Development law" in 2012, and specified the criteria for permissible behaviors in the preservative district. Therefore, this paper focused on the ancient capital Gyeongju and developed a comprehensive system for evaluating the value of the ancient historic district based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Through the evaluation of the ancient historic districts, which are the pilot project districts in the "Gyeongju Ancient Capital Preservation Plan", some preferential projects were objectively proposed. As a result, according to the evaluation among 10 ancient historic districts in Gyeongju, Daereungwon got a score of 78.34, which is the highest among 7 special preservation districts. On the other side, the Gyo-dong area got a score of 76.14, the highest among 3 historic and cultural environmental districts. Finally, for the preservation and development of Gyeongju, some efficient preservation and development plans were objectively proposed for the pilot project districts in the "Gyeongju Ancient Capital Preservation Plan".

This paper suggests a method to effectively apply an application model of fuzzy-neural network to the optimal load distribution algorithm, considering the complication and non-linearity of the web server environment. We use the clustering web server in the linux system and it consists of a load balancer that distributes the network loads and some of real servers that processes the load and responses to the client. The previous works considered only with the scrappy decision information such as the connections. That is, since the distribution algorithm depends on the input of the whole network throughput, it was proved inefficient in terms of performance improvement of the web server. With the proposed algorithm, it monitors the whole states of both network input and output. Then, it infers CPU and memory states of each real server and effectively distributes the requests of the clients. In this paper, the proposed model is compared with the previous method through simulations and we analysis the results to develop the optimal and intelligent load balancing model.

To study the relationship between rainfall conditions and landslides according to a geological condition in land-slides areas such asJangheung Kyounggi, Sangju and Pohang Kyoungbuk, the data of rainfall and landslides are investigated and analyzed. Many landslides occurred at these areas because of the heavy rainfall in two or four days of the summer 1998. The data of rainfall are collected in observatories within a 50km radius from landslides occurrence areas, and the data of landslides are investigated directly in landslides areas. The data of rainfall are the accumulative rainfall and the rainfall intensity, and the data of landslides are the occurrence frequency considering the geological condition. These data are analyzed statistically to know the relationship the rainfall and landslides. The landslides are concentrated in the heavy rainfall area from the analysis of these data. It knows that the land-slides are triggered by the heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, the rainfall factors such as the accumulative rainfall, the rain-fall intensity and the dropping time are different in each landslides area, and the shape and frequency of landslides are different respectively. The landslides have occurred in the area of high accumulative rainfall, while the land-slides have not occurred around that area. Therefore, the rainfall is very important factor induced by the landslides, and the accumulative rainfall is really related to the frequency of landslides.

Fracture roughness of rock specimens is observed by a new confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM; Olympus OLS1100). The wave length of laser is 488 nm, and the laser scanning is managed by a light polarization method using two galvano-meter scanner mirrors. The function of laser reflection auto-focusing enables us to measure line data fast and precisely. The system improves resolution in the light axis (namely z) direction because of the confocal optics. Using the CLSM, it is Possible to measure a specimen of the size up to $10{\;}{\times}{\;}10{\;}cm$ which is fixed on a specially designed stage. A sampling is managed in a spacing $2.5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ along x and y directions. The highest measurement resolution of z direction is $10{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$, which is more accurate than other methods. Core specimens of coarse and fine grained granite are provided. Fractures are artificially maneuvered by a Brazilian test method. Measurements are performed along three scan lines on each fracture surface. The measured data are represented as 2-D and 3-D digital images showing detailed features of roughness. Line profiles of the coarse granites represent more frequent change of undulation than those of the fine granite. Spectral analyses by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) are performed to characterize the roughness data quantitatively and to identify influential frequency of roughness. The FFT results suggest that a specimen loaded by large and low frequency energy tends to have high values of undulation change and large wave length of fracture roughness.

We investigated the relationship of the organic pollutant index in wastewater where the high percentages of an organic load to a water body was found. Measuring of TOC was to identify the relationship with COD and BOD which were used already. The correlation coefficient (r) of TOC/COD, BOD/COD and TOC/BOD were effected by the types of industry such as paper, textile, chemical, food and metal industries. In food industry it was found that the highest correlation coefficient (r) of TOC/COD, BOD/COD and TOC/BOD as 0.967, 0.969 and 0.990, respectively. There is low correlation coefficient in many cases. Hence it was impossible that the use of TOC for the water standard or monitoring instead of COD and BOD directly. However it can be used as alternative index to management a water process in the case of waste water where there was found high correlation coefficient of TOC/ COD, BOD/COD and TOC/BOD. It was sure that the water quality of river body can be protected if we use these the relationship among organic index.

To effectively delineate the foundation of stone relics by GPR and seismic refraction methods, a geological engineering model was constructed with alternating layer of soil and gravel to a depth of 3 m. This study was aimed at mapping the boundaries of model ground structure and interfaces of alternating layer using the various frequency antenna in GPR survey and seismic velocities. Compared to the resolution from the high frequency antenna, the image resolution from the survey using 100 Hz antenna is the lower, but with the deeper image coverage. On the contrast, the deeper structure was not mapped in the higher frequency data due to higher absorption effect, but the shallow layered zone was distinctively resolved. Therefore subsurface images were effectively provided by integrating the data with 100 MHz and 450 MHz antennas for the deep and shallow structures, respectively. Regarding the seismic refraction data, the boundaries of the model and interface of the alternating layers were not successfully mapped due to the limit of the survey length. However, the equivalent contours of low velocity extended deep as considerable velocity contrasts with surrounding ground.
