This study was conducted to evaluate the productivity and the operational costs of the Chuncheon Tower-yarder, a skyline yarding system used in Korea. Detailed time study data were collected from 4 thinning sites in Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) stands; one site for uphill yarding and three sites for downhill yarding. This study derived regression models to estimate the average cycle time (sec.) for uphill and downhill yarding. The average yarding cost was $12,844won/m^3$ for uphill yarding, while downhill yarding cost was $13,221won/m^3$. The average yarding time was 239 sec/cycle for uphill yarding, while downhill average yarding time was 274 sec/cycle. We found that uphill yarding productivity was higher when the operation system was examined under the same work conditions (i.e. standardized comparison) except yarding directions for both uphill yarding and downhill yarding.

With the digital terrestrial television broadcasting transition, terrestrial television broadcasting have required the replacement of retransmission facilities for the analog broadcasting installed in the existing apartment, building, cable TV station, MATV system and so on. In addition, new standards have been enacted for retransmission of the digital television broadcasting in MATV system. To deal with this issue, in this paper, we propose a new 8-VSB remodulator that can retransmit signals of the terrestrial digital television broadcasting. Moreover, we present a standard and the process composition of the 8-VSB remodulator, and an experimental environment configuration for performance evaluation. To achieve this, we have implemented the 8-VSB remodulator with the sequential process components comprised of the RF signal retransmission, the TS stream modulator, the RF signal reception and demodulation. Through the simulation, we analyze the performance standard from the measured data such as spurious and phase noise. And then, we measure SNR and EVM of each attenuation step of the signal obtained by the signal processor and the 8-VSB remodulator with the same retransmission environment and conditions. Experimental results show that both the 8-VSB remodulator and the signal processor can be used as equipment for the retransmission of the terrestrial digital television broadcasting. In addition, the 8-VSB remodulator performed well to improve the transmission efficiency for the digital broadcasting signal, compare to the existing signal processor.

In order to provide fundamental data for development of controlled environment facilities in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) cultivation, field survey and analysis of structural and environmental engineering characteristics on the shading structures in ginseng fields (the ginseng houses) were carried out. In this study shading structures for ginseng cultivation were classified according to their structural materials, connection types, and detailed structures. That is they were classified into wood or steel frames, single or multi spans, and frame or cable types. As a result of the investigation, standardization of structural materials, fabrication and construction methods arc required. And it was considered that a reinforced design and a countermeasure for heavy snow are the most important matters for structural improvement. In parts of the environmental management, researches for setting up the irrigation standard are required in the first place. And it was investigated that an installation of the shading structures is a work being the most hard, taking a lot of time, and having need for automation. So controlled environment ginseng houses, with a low cost, a structural safety and a satisfactory workability, should be developed.

With the available national spatial information that started from the sinkholes that occurred nationwide in 2014 and integrated 15 areas of underground information, the Underground Spatial Integrated Map has been continuously maintained since 2015. However, until recently, as disasters and accidents in underground spaces such as hot water pipes rupture, cable tunnel fires, and ground subsidence continue to occur, there is an increasing demand for quality improvement of underground information. Thus, this paper attempted to prepare a plan to improve the quality of the Underground Spatial Integrated Map data. In particular, among the 15 types of underground information managed through the Underground Spatial Integrated Map, quality validation improvement measures were proposed for underground facility (structure-type) data, which has the highest proportion of new constructions. To improve the current inspection methods that primarily rely on visual inspection, we elaborate on and subdivide the current quality inspection standards. Specifically, we present an approach for software-based automated inspection of databases, including graphics and attribute information, by adding three quality inspection items, namely, quality inspection methods, rules, and flow diagram, solvable error types, to the current four quality inspection items consisting of quality elements, sub-elements, detailed sub-elements, and quality inspection standards.

This study is a study dealing with the empirical test of standardized multimedia disaster warning broadcasting linked with the next-generation prediction and warning platform and the disaster warning additional data service of terrestrial UHD broadcasting. The next-generation prediction and warning platform used in the demonstration test complies with the CAP-based TTA standardization standard, and the UHD disaster warning additional data service complies with the AEAT standard. As a result of the experiment, when a standardized CAP disaster warning message is issued and delivered to a broadcasting company, a system was established so that it is automatically converted to AEAT, a UHD disaster warning additional data message, and transmitted. The receiver unit was configured by connecting a set-top capable of receiving disaster alert data and a TV with an HDMI cable. When a disaster is announced, the set-top displays the AEAT message on the TV broadcasting screen, customized to the priority of the disaster and the area where it is issued. In addition, incoming messages are displayed in a language suitable for user settings among 5 languages. Additional multimedia functions such as images and alarm sounds could also be linked. In particular, it was confirmed that the receiver message was displayed within 3 seconds of issuing the disaster alert, enabling prompt delivery of the disaster alert.

For the EMC test, the radiation characteristics and immunity characteristics of the EUT are measured under the condition that the EUT maintains its normal operation. For normal operation of the EUT, it is necessary to operate the EUT and monitor its status through separate equipment outside the anechoic chamber. External equipment operates and monitors the EUT through various communications such as 1553B communication, RS-485 communication, and Ethernet communication. At this time, external equipment can transmit noise through the communication line. This noise is transmitted to the LISN through the connected power cable and measured. It is also radiated through the connection terminal to the LISN. In this case, the communication line is the power line It should be designed so that noise is not transmitted through electromagnetic isolation as much as possible. In addition, noise from external equipment must be suppressed as much as possible from entering the chamber through the communication line. In this paper, external EUT test equipment applied for EMC test It explains the considerations in the design and manufacture of the design and explains the satisfaction of the design through tests including CE and RE.

In this research, thermal design data such as heat transfer coefficient on the wall surface required for ventilation system design which is to prevent the temperature rise in the underground utility tunnel that three sides are adjoined with the ground was investigated in numerical analalysis. The numerical model has been devised including the tunnel lining of the underground utility tunnel in order to take account for the heat transfer in the tunnel walls. The air temperature in the tunnel, wall temperature, and the heating value through the wall based on heating value(117~468 kW/km) of the power cable installed in the tunnel and the wind speed in the tunnel(0.5~4.0 m/s) were calculated by CFD simulation. In addition, the wall heat transfer coefficient was computed from the results analysis, and the limit distance used to keep the air temperature in the tunnel stable was examined through the research. The convective heat transfer coefficient at the wall surface shows unstable pattern at the inlet area. However, it converges to a constant value beyond approximately 100 meter. The tunnel wall heat transfer coefficient is $3.1{\sim}9.16W/m^2^{\circ}C$ depending on the wind speed, and following is the dimensionless number:$Nu=1.081Re^{0.4927}({\mu}/{\mu}_w)^{0.14}$. This study has suggested the prediction model of temperature in the tunnel based on the thermal resistance analysis technique, and it is appraised that deviation can be used in the range of 3% estimation.

Recently, fiber optic sensors, which have many advantages are being applied in various fields by replacing conventional electric sensors. To transmit the light signals between an interrogator and a sensor head, optical components such as an optical adaptor and optical jumper cords are generally used. When signals are transmitted using an adaptor, the end surface of each jumper cord is faced together. If alien substances exist on the core surface of an optical fiber, those can cause light transmission loss and signal disappearance. For this reason, non-contact fiber jumper cords are developed to overcome the problems that require continual attention. The light transmission performance of non-contact fiber jumper cords are also evaluated. From the test results, conventional fiber jumper cords are unable to transmit the signals over 2 mm cavity between the ends of both cords. Otherwise, non-contact fiber jumper cords can transmit the signals with stability up to the cavity of 7 mm though they have more transmission loss than the conventional ones. Consequently, non-contact fiber jumper cords that have better signal stability than conventional ones in environments are highly recommended in field applications, especially if they play a role as a cable for signal transmission between fiber optic sensors.

The high-flux advanced neutron application reactor (HANARO) is a research reactor with thermal power of 30 MW applied in various research and development using neutrons generated from uranium fission chain reaction. A degasifier tank is installed in the ancillary facility of HANARO. This facility generates gas pollutants produced owing to internal environmental factors. The degasifier tank is designed to maintain the gas contaminants below acceptable levels and is monitored using an analyzer in the gas sampling panel. If condensate water is generated and flows into the analyzer of the gas sampling panel, corrosion occurs inside the analyzer's measurement chamber, which causes failure. Condensate water is generated because of the temperature difference between the degasifier tank and analyzer when the gas flows into the analyzer. A heating system is installed between the degasifier tank and gas sampling panel to suppress condensate water generation and effectively remove the condensate water inside the system. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of the heating system. In addition, the variations in the pipe temperature and the amount of average condensate water were modeled using a wall condensation model based on the changes in the fluid inlet temperature, outside air temperature, and heating cable-setting temperature.

In many countries, most of the tunneling works have been ordered by the shield TBM, and also Korean companies are actively bidding and execute in this project. In case of Korea, refurbished machines are mainly using in power cable, gas pipelines, and water and sewage tunnel. Also in metro projects, shield TBM of over diameter 7m is required mainly by using brand new machine. Since the shield TBM is not easy to change once it is produced, it is necessary for the client to provide sufficient information on the production conditions so as to satisfy various characteristics of the construction. In this study, to manufacturing optimal shield TBM, the Client's TBM requirements of tunnel construction in Hong Kong and UK was analyzed and compared with the domestic requirements. The results are expected to provide as client's guidelines for bidding stage and manufacturing for shield TBM tunneling in Korea in the future.
