This study investigates the characteristics of surface wind in North Korea using mesoscale model WRF. Hourly wind fields were simulated for one year representing mean characteristics of an 11-years period from 1998 to 2008. The simulations were performed on a nested grid from 27 km to 1 km horizontal resolution. The simulated wind map at 10 m above ground level is verified with 27 surface observations. Statistical verification skill score indicates that wind speed tends to overestimate in surface layer. The average RMSE value of the simulated wind speed is around $2.8ms^{-1}$. Wind map in North Korea showed that strong wind speed is distributed in the mountainous and western coastal region. The results of this wind mapping study contribute for the founding of wind energy potential location.

The GPS ability for detecting the deformation is experimently tested by analyzing how precisely GPS can detect the true movement value of the GPS test bed with three axis. As the result, we found that GPS can detect the deformation with the precision of 2 mm in horizontal componts and 8 mm in vertical component for the short baseline of 16 km. The applicable possibilities of GPS for measuring the structure deformation are discussed on the base of this result.

ISCLT3 model was applied in Seoul metropolitan area to investigate the source-receptor relationships among 17 cities in the Kyonggi Province. For the purpose of the model simulation, emission rates of NO$_2$, SOx, and PM(sub)10 were prepared for grid scale with 1$\times$1 km, and receptors were located on every 2$\times$2 km grid. Meterological data for the last 10 years(88~97) were used as input data. According to our study, NO$_2$ concentration of the cities ranged from 10 to 45 ppb with the highest value appearing from Puchon city. The concentrations of SOx and PM(sub)10 concentrations fell in the range of 5~20 ppb and 20~70$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. It was also found out that air quality in one city can be affected greatly by the air pollutants originating from other cities.

To evaluate the effect of methanethiol on the activity of xanthine oxidase in both liver and serum, the rats intraperitoneally received methoanethiol. Injection of methoanethiol in rats showed the more decreased xanthine oxidase activity of boty liver and serum than that of the control group. Concomitantly, the xanthine oxidase activity in livers preincubated with methanethiol was decreased in vitro. The xanthine oxidase in livers preincubated with the methoanethiol also showed more increased Km and similar Vmax value than those of the control. These results suggest that the methanethiol may induce a change in substrate binding affinity of xanthine oxidase.

In this study, the discharge loads of non-point pollution sources were analyzed using a Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) model for 46 sub-watersheds in order to guide the management plan for water and streams passing through the city. The results using HSPF showed good applicability in comparison to point measurements, which were based on BOD, TP, and TN. The mean value of the BOD loads was $4.08kg/km^2$ per day, and the highest level of BOD was $17.75kg/km^2$ per day at Namri. Three potential areas of high priority for the installment of constructed wetlands were selected in order to reduce non-point pollution sources based on BOD loads and on environmental and economic conditions. The results for these scenarios indicated a maximum rate of reduction in BOD of 39.12% within the proposed constructed wetlands.

KHST(Korea High Speed Train) project plans to design and to build an high speed train. There are noise requirements in passenger room for the standing and running condition, which should be reached. Predicted noise calculated for the standing and running TM5(Motorized car) and TT4(Trailer car) train (v=300 km/h and v=350 km/h) to find out critical areas in or around the train. From the estimation in DWA IfS, actions of noise reduction are proposed to reach the requirements. This paper takes the review of the calculated results in DWA IfS to propose a new design of inner wall.

Attempts were made to see if feeding of ginseng ethanol extract could affect proper- ties of rat brain lactate dehydrogenase such as specific activity, heat stability, Km for substrate, inactivation by 3-bromopyruvate and trypsin, and immune response. The following results were obtained. Specific activity of LDH was observed to reach maximum in 5 month after birth and then decrease steadily. However, that of LDH from rat fed with ginseng ethanol extract was found in rat fed with ginseng ethanol extract. 3-bromopyruvate was shown to inactivate LDH-5 from old rat fed. Inactivation of LDH-5 by trypsin was remarkable in old rat fed. Km value for pyruvate in old rat fed was remarkably decreased. Cumulative results suggest that ginseng ethanol extract could affect conformational change of LDH responsible for altered properties through unknown mechanism.

This Research is to test the running stability of the developed bogie with 350km/h of which conventional speed is faster than Korea TGV 300Km/h. The running stability test has been executed in status of a car with the developed bogie on the roller rigger to adjust similar to the actual condition. And the test has been done in the two rail conditions, i.e. excitation and non-excitation, respectively. Running speed of bogie increased by the roller step by step. In consequence, the developed bogie in the non-excitation has run without any unstable point for 400kn0h. Vibration characteristics of carbody also was within the value specified on the UIC 518.

KHST project plans to design and to build an high speed train. There are noise requirements in passenger room for the standing and running train, which should be reached. Noise prognosises are calculated for the standing and running TM5(Motorized car) and TT4(Trailer car) train (v=300km/h) to find out critical areas in or around the train. On those areas, actions of noise reduction are proposed to reach the requirements. Finally noise prognosises are calculated for the higher velocity of v=350km/h.

Derived was the scalar wave equation of optical fibers. Based on the derived equation, the dispersion characteristics of arbitrarily profiled fibers were analyzed. We applied the 1-D FEM employing quadratic interpolation fucntions to solve the scalar wave equation. To find the optimum index distribution of a fiber that has the ultra-low total dispersion, we analyzed QC fibers as objects. Adding 2$_{nd}$ and 3$_{rd}$ clads to DC fiber, we investigated the change of dispersion characteristics. We found the QC fiber parameters for which the dispersion was ultra-low flattened, less than 0.5 ps/km.nm for ${\lambda}=1.4~1.6{\mu}m$, and the dispersion value was as low as 0.20 ps/km.nm at ${\lambda}=1.55{\mu}m$.
