The more sophisticated patterns of propagation model is presented in this paper, which includes three different source characteristics. The spherical, cosine and dipole radiation characteristics compared and sound event level and the maximum sound level are calculated by experiment and calculation. It is shown that patterns of propagation has dipole characteristics for low speed range(below about 150km/h) at electric multiple system. We know that push-pull high speed system(maximum speed: 300km/h) has cosine characteristics of noise propagation. For this purpose, We conduct the experiment of noise and know the empirical formula of noise level and radiation coefficient K. This model of simulation is conducted through point source array model at wheel/rail contact point by using program and experimental formula. We can guess prediction of profile, flat and wear of wheel by above modeling in near field.

A fault-tolerant system should have a high availability and high reliability to maintain a given system stable against sudden faults in the system. In this paper, we propose a new types of fault tolerant system based on a fault detection bus. The fault detection bus is designed and implemented to detect any errors by comparing event-output signals from two processor modules. It employs the hot standby sparing fault detection method〔1〕 to provide continuity of services even if a system fault occurs. The prototype fault tolerant system is currently being implemented on a management system with two processor modules.

A review has been made for the previous studies on safety of a geologic repository for high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) related to autocatalytic criticality phenomena with positive reactivity feedback. Neutronic studies on geometric and materials configuration consisting of rock, water and thermally fissile materials and the radionuclide migration and accumulation studies were performed previously for the Yucca Mountain Repository and a hypothetical water-saturated repository for vitrified HLW. In either case, it was concluded that it would be highly unlikely for an autocatalytic criticality event to happen at a geologic repository. Remaining scenarios can be avoided by careful selection of a repository site, engineered-barrier design and conditioning of solidified HLW. Thus, criticality safety should be properly addressed in regulations and site selection criteria. The models developed for radiological safety assessment to obtain conservatively overestimated exposure dose rates to the public may not be used directly for the criticality safety assessment, where accumulated fissile materials mass needs to be conservatively overestimated. The models for criticality safety also require more careful treatment of geometry and heterogeneity in transport paths because a minimum critical mass is sensitive to geometry of fissile materials accumulation.

Using SOHO particle and EUV detection and radio spectrograms from both ground-based and spaceborne instruments, we have studied the first phase of major solar energetic particle (SEP) events associated with wide and fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) centered at different solar longitudes. Observations support the idea that acceleration of SEPs starts in the helium-rich plasma of the eruption's core well behind the CME leading edge, in association with coronal shocks and magnetic reconnection caused by the CME liftoff; and those "coronal" components dominate during the first ~1.5 hour of the SEP event, not yet being hidden by the CME-bow shock in solar wind. At magnetic connection to the eruption's periphery, onset of SEP emission is delayed for a time of the lateral expansion that is visualized by global coronal (EIT) wave. The first, "coronal" phase of SEP acceleration is followed by a second phase associated with CME-driven shock wave in solar wind, which accelerates high-energy ions from a helium-poor particle population until the interplanetary shock slows down to below 1000 km/s. Based on these and other SOHO observations, we discuss what findings can be expected from STEREO in the SOHO era perspective.

Events that occur within a high 'resolution' combat model often need to be characterized and structured for representation in other models or for detailed analysis purposes. This paper attempts to characterize one of these events, helicopter deaths. The data analyzed for this paper were generated by a high resolution production simulation system, CARMONETTE. The thesis objective is to develop a model to characterize the event of interest, and check the fit of the developed model using a second set of data. The exponential model developed provides not only excellent characterization of Blue helicopter attrition but also sufficient confidence in our results for the purpose of aggregated combat simulation.

Using elevators for emergency evacuation has been a controversial topic during the past few years. Generally, elevators are not allowed to be used in the event of a fire or emergency situations all around the world. However elevators assisted emergency evacuation procedures are considered and some of the plans are developed and accepted by the building management and local authorities after 9/11 WTC tragedy. The aim of this study is to quantify the benefit of elevator assisted emergency evacuation based on an actual super high-rise building design.

A curriculum is a measure of how high level of knowledge is educated to students affiliated to university institutions, and is used as an indicator evaluating usefulness of the university institutions. For this reason, Designing and assessing curricula is a critical to high education institutions. However, in the case of development and quality assessment of a curriculum with a traditional way, finding a right curriculum which a designer intends is a time consuming and error-prone process. Therefore, in order to improve these problems, we propose the curriculum design engine using SES (System Entity Structure) / DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) Framework in this paper. The SES describes all possible combination of curricula for students. The DEVS framework provides a simulation environment for models created from the SES by the students. The proposed engine will show appropriate curricula for students after a simulator appropriately filters students' requirement, according to conditions.

We present the current research activities of the Center for the Exploration of the Origin of the Universe, a center established at Seoul National University with the Creative Research Initiative program. Our activities focus on observational studies of distant objects such as gamma-ray bursts, quasars, and proto-cluster of galaxies, but we also carry out other observational and theoretical studies in related topics. We also developed a new instrument, Camera for Quasars at Early Universe (CQUEAN) in collaboration with Kyunghee University group, and have secured observing facilities such as UKIRT and McDonald 2.1m observatory. Our research highlights include results such as the discovery of high redshift quasars and gamma ray bursts, the discovery of tidal disruption event at z=0.38 and peculiar gamma ray burst events, analysis of proto-clusters of galaxies, the discovery of brown dwarfs, and development of CQUEAN and its usage at the McDonald observatory.

An evaporating diesel spray of a common rail lnjector was visualized by LIEF technique. This technique makes it possible to separate the vapor and liquid phase images. The experiment was conducted in a constant volume vessel to make a high temperature and high pressure condition. Three images(vapor and liquid phase images from LIEF and a liquid phase image from Mie scattering) were taken simultaneously in one spray event. The major experimental parameters are the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure. Also, a relative SMD distribution in a liquid phase was obtained by the ratio of the intensities of the fluorescence and the Mie scattering. The results show that the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure have a close relation with the spray development and air-fuel muting process.

We designed a self-timed interface circuit for efficient communication in IP (Intellectual Property)-based system with high-speed self-timed FIFO and a set of self-timed event logic library with 0.25um CMOS technology. Optimized self-timed standard cell layouts and Verilog models are generated for top-down design methodology. A method for mitigating a design bottleneck when it comes to tolerate clock skew is described. With clock control method and FIFO, we implemented high-speed 32bit-interface chip for self-timed system, which generated maximum system clock is 2.2GHz. The size of the core is about 1.1mm x 1.1mm.
