The paper presents a new approach for the analysis of slope stability that is based on the numerical solution of a differential equation, which describes the thrust force distribution within the potential sliding mass. It is based on the evaluation of the thrust force value at the endpoint of the slip line. A coupled approximation of the slip and thrust lines is applied. The model is based on subdivision of the sliding mass into slices that are normal to the slip line and the equilibrium differential equation is obtained as the slice width approaches zero. Opposed to common iterative limit equilibrium procedures the present method is straightforward and gives an estimate of slope stability at the value of the safety factor prescribed in advance by standard requirements. Considering the location of the thrust line within the soil mass above the trial slip line eliminates the possible development of a tensile thrust force in the stable and critical states of the slope. The location of the upper boundary point of the thrust line is determined by the equilibrium of the upper triangular slice. The method can be applied to any smooth shape of a slip line, i.e., to a slip line without break points. An approximation of the slip and thrust lines by quadratic parabolas is used in the numerical examples for a series of slopes.

When biped robots make turns, the ability to walk stably and precisely along any circular path is crucial. In this context, inverse kinematics solutions are found for accurate gait realization, and new zero moment point(ZMP) equations are derived with respect to the cyclindrical coordinate system to facilitate generation of stable walking patterns. Then, appropriate steady and transitional walking patterns are both proposed in form of time functons. Subsequently, walking patterns for a path but of different speeds are generated using the functions and associated formulas, and preliminarily checked for stability based on the ZMP equations. Upon comparison of those cases, one can see how and when robots may fall down during circular walking. Finally, those patterns are put to test on the sample robot by ADAMS(R) along with the inverse kinematics solutions and a new balance control scheme compensating for insufficient stability particulary during the initial transition period. Test results show that the robot can walk along the circular path as predicted at a resonably high speed despite the distributed mass and ground contact effects, validating effectiveness of the suggested approach.

Noise regulation of heavy construction machinery is getting stricter： 3 dB per every 4 year in European community. To meet this requirement many engineers have adopted the enclosing structures with thick absorbing materials and small opening, This increases internal temperature of the enclosure which have engine systems such as electric equipment that are vulnerable to heat, and engine block and muffler that can be regarded as heat sources. So noise control engineers have to consider a coupling problem: combining heat balance and noise reduction. This paper describes this approach by introducing simple heat transfer theory and SEA. The enclosing system of the loader whose enclosing structure consists of two rooms is investigated to show the validity of this method. The results represent that the simple heat transfer theory can be useful to estimate cooling performance when it is linked together by the back pressure theory in duct system. and the radiated noise can also be estimated by the SEA. Therefore a designer can use these approaches to define the opening ratio of an enclosure and the mass flow rate of air considering radiating noise.

A numerical study for performance analysis of a crossflow-type forced draft cooling tower has been performed based on the finite volume method with non-orthogonal body fitted, and non-staggered grid system. For solving the coupling problem between water and air, air enthalpy, moisture fraction, water enthalpy, and water mass balance equations are solved with Navier-Stoke's equations simultaneously. For the effect of turbulence, the standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is implied in this analysis. The predicted result of the present analysis is compared with the experimental data and the commercial software result to validate the present study. The predicted results show good agreement with the experimental data and the commercial software result. To investigate the influence of the cooling tower design parameters such as approach, range and wet bulb temperature, parametric studies are also performed.

A microscopic mass balance approach has been developed to estimate the extent and rate of absorption for camier-mediated comounds. For the case competitive inhibition in the presence of an inhibitor which shares the same camier, the fraction dose absorbed (F) and absorption rate constant ($K_a$) of a drug can be calculated from its concentration profile in the intestinal lumen. Absorption parameters obtained by single-pass perfusion experiments were used in the simultaion of the absorption of some aminopenicilins. Predicted fractions dose absorbed and absorption rate constants of ampicilin and amoxicilin were significantly reduced in the presence of a 6-times higher molar dose of cyclacilin. The drug-drug interactions on the competitive absroption of camier-mediated compounds were determined with regard to F and $K_a$. Predicted decreases in F for some aminopenicilins corrlated well with decrease in the urinary recovery in humans reported in the literature. Predicted decrease in the mean absorption rate constant ($\barK_a$) explain the delays in the time of peak plasma concentration ($T_{max}$) reported in humans.

To examine the denitrification process in an alluvial aquifer in the Cheonan site, hydrological and hydrogeochemical studies were carried out. Elevated levels of NO$_3$ (maximum 77.6 mg/L) were observed in shallow groundwaters of the area, as a result of poultry and agricultural activity. However, the nitrate concentrations were found to be consistently attenuated down to very low levels (<1.0 mg/L). The abrupt removal of nitrate coincided with the pattern of redox change and indicated that denitrification is the most plausible process. The hydrochemistry and mass balance approach using geochemical modeling (phreeqc 2.0) and redox chemistry indicated that chemo-autotrophic denitrification via pyrite oxidation is the key Process to control the nitrate attenuation in the study area.

A total of 10 boundary layer sampling events over the Pacific Ocean were analyzed for the purpose of defining the sea-to-air $CH_3$I flux using a mass balance photochemical model. These events were recorded on the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) C-130 aircraft as part of the Aerosol Charac-terization Experiment (ACE 1). The latitude range, covered by these events, was 2$^{\circ}$ N to 55$^{\circ}$ S. The flux ranges were 4 to 33 nmol m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ , with an average value of 11$\pm$8 nmol m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ . This study also indicated that the current approach to estimate the flux was not systematically different from the sea-air exchange model.

본 연구는 기존 공정성 연구에서 소홀하게 취급됐던 언론의 일반 수용자 시각에서 공정성에 접근하고자 하는 탐색적 시도이다. 본 연구는 공정성 개념의 경험적 탐구라는 측면에서 일반 언론 수용자를 대상으로 (불)공정성 개념의 의미를 구체적으로 탐색하여 기존의 개념 혹은 전문인에 의해 구축되었던 개념과의 비교를 시도했다. 또한 일반 수용자 개념 구성의 특성과 시사점이 검토되었다. 본 연구를 위해서 서울지역 300명의 성인을 대상으로 591개 언론의 불공정한 사례를 모아 분석한 결과 수용자들이 느끼는 가장 심각한 불공정은 언론이 중립적이지 못하다는 것과 더불어 진실성과 균형성에 문제가 있음을 지적하였다. 연구 결과 기존의 개념적 구성과는 달리 일반 수용자들은 언론의 윤리성과 상업성이 불공정성의 요소가 될 수 있다는 점을 제기한 반면, 기존 연구에서 이론적으로 중요한 개념적 구성요소였던 독립성과 적절성은 수용자들에게 별로 중요한 의미를 갖지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연구 결과를 토대로 언론의 일반 수용자에게 언론의 공정성은 어떤 의미를 가지며 그들이 공정성을 평가하는 데 있어 어떠한 범주들이 영향을 미치고 있는지가 검토되었다.

본 연구는 여과와 침투기작을 이용한 개선된 여과형 시설의 비점오염물질 처리효율을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 저감시설은 지리학적 기후학적인 인자를 고려하여 기존의 저감시설의 단점을 보완하여 설계되었다. 저감시설의 처리효율 평가는 실험실 규모로 수행되었으며, 3가지 유형의 유속[초기강우(120 mL/min), 일반적인 강우(242 mL/min), 집중호우(500 mL/min)]을 적용하여 실험을 진행하였고, 이를 통하여 수질 분석 및 물수지를 산정하였다. 실험결과, 저감시설의 입자상 물질 제거 효율은 90%이상으로 높게 분석되었다. 3가지의 유속변화 실험 중, 집중호우의 경우에서 11~91% 범위로 낮은 제거효율을 보였는데, 이는 다른 유속에 비해 짧은 체류시간을 갖기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 저감시설의 물수지 산정결과 침투량은 유출량의 약 1%에 불과하여 향후 저감시설 설계 시, 침투를 증가시키기 위해서 시설하부의 토양치환 등을 통한 침투량 및 저류량을 증가시킬 수 있는 기술적 접근이 필요하며, 이는 오염물질의 저감에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to make the way to determine the instream flow more practically, we have investigated many case studies and reviewed reports and papers. To validate instream flow level suggested by the case studies, DAWAST and HEC-RAS model were applied to the Gap-stream watershed in Daejeon city. Flow-duration analysis was performed both with the stream flow data gauged in the Indong, Boksu, and Hoeduck stations, and with the stream flow data estimated by the DAWAST model and the specific discharge method. Instream flow was determined among the flow-duration analysis, DAWAST, HEC-RAS model and mass balance approach. It was satisfied with various factors such as target water quality, water depth for eco-system and resorts, water surface width, flow velocity for landscape in dry season. The study suggested that the mean low flow could be replaced into the instream flow for the preliminary study because the instream flow considering ecosystem, landscape, water-friendly environment and water quality was generally close to the mean low flow.
