Many disaster monitoring systems are constantly studied to prevent disasters such as environmental pollution, the breaking of a tunnel and a building, flooding, storm earthquake according to the progress of wireless telecommunication, the miniaturization of terminal devices, and the spread of sensor network. A disaster monitoring system can extract information of a remote place, process sensor data with rules to recognize disaster situation, and provide work for preventing disaster. However existing monitoring systems are not enough to predict and prevent disaster, because they can only process current sensor data through utilizing simple aggregation function and operators. In this paper, we design and implement a disaster prevention system to predict near future dangerous area through using outside sensor network and spatial Information. The provided prediction technique considers the change of spatial information over time with current sensor data, and indicates the place that could be dangerous in near future. The system can recognize which place would be dangerous and prepare the disaster prevention. Therefore, damage of disaster and cost of recovery would be reduced. The provided disaster prevention system and prediction technique could be applied to various disaster prevention systems and be utilized for preventing disaster and reducing damages.

By introducing corrosion monitoring techniques, steel corrosion in concrete may be evaluated at early stage. The monitoring probes in concrete detect the causes (chlorides and $CO_2$) of steel corrosion by being cast into the concrete or diffusing in from the outside. Various systems for corrosion monitoring in concrete are reviewed in this paper. These techniques are classified according to monitoring purposes such as corrosion potential or corrosion rate of steel and causes for corrosion etc.. Today, special interests are converged in development of corrosion sensor as a monitoring method of new concept.

Partial discharge measurement using a ultrasonic technique allows us to detect degradation of the electrical insulation in a power transformer. However, The ultrasonic measurement studies don't offer a good solution in operating conditions. In this paper, we investigated characteristics of ultrasonic noise caused by a 345kV power transformer under operating conditions. The ultrasonic noises generated by corona in air, vibration of core, pump and fan, etc. An ultrasonic frequency caused by corona in air was appeared 9 and 18[MHz] at the outside wall of the transformer. And a spectra of core vibration was detected below 2.5[kHz]. These spectrum were compared with 20 $\sim$ 200[kHz] of the internal partial discharge in the model transformer.

Korea Maritime Police Agency(KMPA) has been pressed by some environmental factors. The changes in the international maritime legal system, such as the entry into force of the UNCLOS in 1994 and the promulgation of the Korea 200-mile EEZ, have radically expanded the mission of the KMPA. In addition, there is, among other nations, no such large size maritime agency, equivalent to the KMPA, except in the cases of USA, Canada, and Japan. And what is more, critics outside the KMPA, including some other government agencies and stakeholders may propose to dismantle the KMPA. In this paper, the author highlights the internal and external issues facing KMPL, and he urges KMPA to change the organizational culture for maintaining its identity and characteristics by adopting the Total Quality Management. And he tries to assess the adoption of TQM on KMPA, by using the Feasibility Assessment Technique.

Delay time of receiving and delivery is one of important factors that should be considered in the evaluation of the customer service level of a container terminal. In this study, dispatching rules are tested with the objective of minimizing the service delay time for arriving outside trucks. A dynamic programming model is suggested for a static dispatching problem in which all the truck arrivals are known in advance. In order to overcome the excessive computational time of the dynamic programming technique, several heuristic rules are suggested that can be applied in practices. A simulation study is carried out to test the performances of the heuristic rules.

Korea became the 5th country by opening the Kyungbu-Highspeed Railway in April of 2004, which has contributed to technical innovations and motivated to increase SOC investment for the Railroad facilities. This increase of Railroad facilities will need the many railroad civil engineers who are in charge of construction and maintenance. Moreover, we need more qualitative engineers to catch up with the speed of technical renovation and to play an important role in exporting our railroad technique to outside country such as China, and Russia. In this paper, a new alternative of training railroad civil engineers will be investigated in relation to NURI Project, which is sponsored by Ministy of Education.

Using the Complementary Functions Method (CFM), a general solution for the one-dimensional steady-state thermal and mechanical stresses in a hollow thick sphere made of functionally graded material (FGM) is presented. The mechanical properties are assumed to obey the exponential variations in the radial direction, and the Poisson's ratio is assumed to be constant, with general thermal and mechanical boundary conditions on the inside and outside surfaces of the sphere. In the present paper, a semi-analytical iterative technique, one of the most efficient unified method, is employed to solve the heat conduction equation and the Navier equation. For different values of inhomogeneity constant, distributions of radial displacement, radial stress, circumferential stress, and effective stress, as a function of radial direction, are obtained. Various material models from the literature are used and corresponding temperature distributions and stress distributions are computed. Verification of the proposed method is done using benchmark solutions available in the literature for some special cases and virtually exact results are obtained.

In this paper, the optimal position selection of error sensors and transducers to attenuate interior noise from outside noise sources using active control techniques is presented. To get an optimal control characteristics in adaptive noise control systems, it is necessary to optimize the positions of sensors and transducers. A new type of simulated annealing method has been proposed as searching technique to find optimal transducers and sensors positions in which the sum of the squared pressures at sensor position in an enclosure can be best minimized. Computer simulations and experiments have been performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Through the computer simulation of virtual reality techniques, prospective clients can experience the surroundings such as the view, traffic and convenience facilities in advance. Also, consumers can reflect their own tastes in the real apartment Interior construction through their own work in relation to furniture arrangement, color choices, etc. inside the apartments. The virtual model house not only replaces the function of the existing model house but it can also provide some services that could not be provided easily due to some restrictions under real conditions. More, it can provide a precise view of the outside appearance and surrounding environment as well as inside the house, as virtual structures on the computer. Consumers can search for the information through the Web in advance and consumer-satisfaction type of apartments can be built. For this purpose, smooth communications among the designers, server managers, and consumers should be achieved as a prerequisite to the delivery of the necessary information.

Tidal power is one of new and renewable energy sources. Tidal power is generated by using the gap in the water level between the water outside and inside the embankment. All tidal power plant in Korea were being operated by import of turn-key from abroad. The know-how and technology which are the most important to build predictive control system has become increasingly difficult to obtain from advanced countries because most of them avoid to transfer, which the domestic development of the control system is needed. In this paper, a study on start stop system at water turbine-generator for tidal power plant at the beginning of development was presented. For improvement the efficiency and develope of core technology of the start stop system, the technique and characteristics of tidal power, modeling, maximum generation calculation method, and optimal control of joint control system in Sihwa tidal power plant were studied.
