  • In this study, the analysis of density characteristics of some dredged and reclaimed ground sites, which is necessary for liquefaction evaluation of a dredged and reclaimed ground, was conducted. From analyzing a simplified liquefaction potential evaluation using SPT-N values which have been applied as domestic earthquake-resistant design criterion, improvement scheme is suggested. Based on the analysis result of density characteristics, it was found out that the relative density and the intial N-value ranged respectively $40{\sim}50%\;and\;5{\sim}8$. In the case of applying Liao & Whitman's equation to correct effective overburden pressure, liquefaction resistance of the upper ground that is relatively weaker than that of lower ground is overestimated. So, Skempton's equation is recommended. And the N value with depth which is applied for design process should be estimated by the exponential equation, $N=1.35{\sigma}'^{0.75}$.

  • Multidimensional scaling is a multivariate technique for constructing a configuration of n points in Euclidean space using information about the distances between the objects. This can be done by the singular value decomposition of the data matrix. But it is known that the singular value decomposition is not resistant. In this study, we provide a resistant version of the multidimensional scaling.

  • The effects of organic acids mix (0.4%) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the storage quality of sliced bacon were investigated. Pork bellies were treated with or without organic acids at the curing stage. The organic acids mix comprised 35% sodium acetate, 25% salt, 15% calcium lactate, 11% trisodium citrate, 7% ascorbate, and 7% citric acid. The cured pork bellies were smoked and packaged with 50% $CO_2$ + 50% $N_2$ (50% $CO_2$-MAP) and 100% $N_2$ (100% $N_2$-MAP), and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 14 d. The 50% $CO_2$-MAP showed a higher pH value (p<0.05) up to 10 d, a lower protein deterioration (p<0.05) as measured by volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) from 6 to 14 d, and a higher color value of lightness (CIE $L^*$) compared to 100% $N_2$-MAP. The development of lipid oxidation measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values seemed to be effectively controlled throughout the storage period in both 50% $CO_2$-MAP and 100% $N_2$-MAP regardless of the application of organic acids. The 50% $CO_2$-MAP inhibited the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (p<0.05) both in non-added and bacon added with organic acids mix. The 50% $CO_2$-MAP alone seemed to be effective in delaying the growth of bacteria since the use of organic acids mix gave no additional effects. The addition of organic acids mix lowered the pH value (p<0.05), effectively retarded the protein deterioration (p<0.05), and showed a higher color value of lightness (CIE $L^*$) value (p<0.05) and lower color value of redness (CIE $a^*$) value (p<0.05). In conclusion, 50% $CO^2$-MAP showed better quality and self-life of sliced bacon during storage. However, the beneficial effect of organic acids mix was not noticed in the concentration used in this experiment.

  • The purpose of this paper is to analyze losses because of switching devices and the secondary side circuit diodes of 500 W full bridge dc-dc converter by applying gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistor (FET), which is one of the wide band gap devices. For the detailed device analysis, we translate the specific resistance relation caused by the GaN FET material property into algebraic expression, and investigate the influence of the GaN FET structure and characteristic on efficiency and system specifications. In addition, we mathematically compare the diode rectifier circuit loss, which is a full bridge dc-dc converter secondary side circuit, with the synchronous rectifier circuit loss using silicon metal-oxide semiconductor (Si MOSFET) or GaN FET, which produce the full bridge dc-dc converter analytical value validity to derive the final efficiency and loss. We also design the heat sink based on the mathematically derived loss value, and suggest the heat sink size by purpose and the heat divergence degree through simulation.

  • Quaternary TiZrAlN nanocomposite thin films were synthesized by Closed-Field Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering (CFUBMS), and their microstructure and mechanical characteristics were examined. The grain refinement of the TiZrAlN nanocomposite thin films was controlled by adjusting the $N_2$ partial pressure. The hardness of the film varied with the $N_2$ partial pressure and the maximum value was obtained approximately 47 GPa. It was also confirmed that there is a critical value of the grain size($d_c$) to need maximum hardness.

  • Web service implementations are now rapidly growing. Web services are easily achieved by XML messaging for most programming languages. Applications usually utilize web services through APIs tied to a specific implementation of SOAP. nML is a dialect of SML and OCaml made in ROPAS. The soaptype type in nML is defined for the value of SOAP encoding. SOAP encoding specification defines rules for serialization of a graph of typed objects using XML Schema. XML Schema validates XML SOAP value. The soaptype type is encoded to XML and decoded from XML. It is necessary to guarantee safe encoding and decoding. So, the definitions for element and type definition in XML Schema are specified by element type and typeinfo type, which include the part of the definitions of XML Schema specification.

  • The flashover voltages have been investigated for spacer and unbridged-gap in SF6-N2 gas mixtures up to the value of 760(torr. cm), The gap was stressed by DC source The results obtained are as follows` 1) The flashover voltages for an unbridged gap and for a spacer in SF6, N2 and SF6-N2 gas mixtures follow the Paschen's curve. 2) The polarity effects was not observed in both unbridged gap and a spacer which had per ect contact with an electrode. The flashover voltages for negative polatity are lower than those for positive polarity in case of imperfect contact. 3) 3%flashover voltage is decreased by putting a spacer which had perfect contact with an electrode. The spacer which has a gap void shows the lowest flashover voltage. 4) The lowest spacer efficiency was obtained with higher gas pressure & large amount of N2 content. The flashover voltages depend on the gas pressure rather than the spacer efficienty at low value of pd. 5) The flashover voltages of gas mixtures of N2 with SF6 are relatively high, even though the amount of SF6 gas content is small.

  • In the paper, the threepoint search algorithm used direct search method for optimal design is proposed. Proposed algorithm is composed of two iteration procedure to determine the minimum value of performance index. The minumum value of three-point existing in the inner N-order searching is firstly determined and next searching space is then reduced by the result of first procedure. To compute performance index. 3N iteration for a searching is necessary. 3N searching method is also described and confirmed with exception of parameter included multiphicator and divisor. Proposed algorithm have good stability and reliability when performance index is linear or quadratic function.

  • This study was performed to provide the basic information on characteristics of groundwater pollution in Gyeongsan city. Forty two groundwater samples were collected, and pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, Ca, Mg, hardness, evaporate residues and others were investigated. And, ANOVA analyses were carried out to reveal the differences in water pollution indicator values of by industry, commerce/residence and agriculture areas. The results were as follows. 1. The mean values of pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, evaporate residues, Ca and hardness were 6.9, $7.9mg/\ell,\;0.4mg/\ell,\;2.44mg/\ell,\;2.73mg/\ell,\;6.06mg/\ell,\;0.82mg/\ell,\;32.72mg/\ell,\;381.67mg/\ell,\;41.53mg/\ell,\;177.17mg/\ell$, respectively. 2. As groundwater became deeper, the values of Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues remarkably increased, but those of COD, $NH_3^--N,\;NO_3^--N,\;NO_2^-N$, T-N decreased. 3. The values of COD, Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues were very high in industrial area, and those of $NH_3-N,\;NO_2^--N$, T-N were very high in commercial/residential area, and those of $NO_3^--N$ were a little high in agricultural area. 4. The correlations between depth and each value of Mg, Na, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly positive, and those between DO and each value of Mg, Cu, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly negative. 5. According to ANOVA analyses, the differences in three area groups (industry, commerce/residence and agriculture) on the values of $NH_3-N$, T-N, evaporate residues, hardness, Ca, Mg, K and Fe were significant at 1% level.
