This study is to diagnose the drought tolerance of twenty broad-leaved tree species by the pressure-volume(P-V) curves. As for the diagnosis of drought tolerance, the valuable water relations parameters obtained from P-V curves are the osmotic potential at full turgor, ${\Psi}_0{^{sat}}$, osmotic potential at incipient plasmolysis, ${\Psi}_0{^{tlp}}$, maximum bulk modulus of elasticity, $E_{max}$, and relative water content at incipient plasmolysis, $RWC^{tlp}$. Also, the figures related to the diagnosis of drought tolerance are the free water content (FWC) versus leaf water potential(${\Psi}_L$), volume-averaged turgor pressure ($P_{vat}$) versus leaf water potential (${\Psi}_L$), and H$\ddot{o}$fler diagram. In this study, the relatively high drought tolerant species are Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Quercus acutissima, Quercus serrata, Quercus aliena, and Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa ; the relatively low drought tolerant species are Fraxinus mandshurica, Betula platyphylla var. japonica, Populus euramericana, Kalopanax pictum, Carpinus loxiflora, Carpinus cordata, Prunus sargentii, Prunus leveilleana, and Cornus controversa ; medium species are Quercus mongolica, Acer mono, Acer triflorum, Acer pseudo-sieboldianum, Ulmus davidiana, and Zelkova serrata.

Ozone sensitivity of physiological indicators and the difference of ozone tolerance on 4 families of Quercus aliena seedlings were investigated on the basis of the standardized physiological indicators. Photosynthetic parameters, photosynthetic pigment and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and antioxidative enzyme activities were measured or analyzed from the leaves of Q. aliena seedlings at the end of ozone fumigation, and ozone tolerance indices among 4 families were calculated with the standardized physiological parameters. After ozone treatment, the reduction of carboxylation efficiency was observed in the leaves of four families, and their reduction were ranged from -24.1% to -56.9% of control seedlings. Photosynthetic pigment content differed significantly among 4 families and treatments. The reduction of total chlorophyll content showed the highest in family SU4 (-40.6%) and the lowest family US2 (-18.8%). Ascorbate-peroxidase (APX) activity showed significant difference among families and treatments, and increased as compared with control in three families, except for family US2. On the basis of the physiological indices, ozone tolerance of four families was ranked in the order of US1 > SU4 > US2 > SU1. In conclusion, photosynthetic parameters, pigment content and APX activity were recommended as appropriate indicators to assess the tolerance against ozone stress of Q. aliena.

In a hierarchical road network, all roads can be classified according to their attributes such as speed limit, number of lanes, etc. By splitting the whole road network into the subnetworks of the highlevel and low-level roads, we can reduce the size of the network to be calculated at once, and find a path in the way that drivers usually adopt when searching out a travel route. To exploit the hierarchical property of road networks, we define a convenient path and propose an algorithm for finding convenient paths. We introduce a parameter indicating the driver's tolerance to the difference between the length of a convenient path and that of a shortest convenient path. From this parameter, we can determine how far we have to search for the entering and exiting gateway. We also propose some techniques for reducing the number of pairs of entries and exits to be searched in a road network. A result of the computational experiment on a real road network is given to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a design parameter calculation methodology and its realization to construction for the damped oscillatory impulse current generator(ICG) modelled as damping factor $\alpha$. Matlab internal functions, "fzero" and "polyfit" are applied to find a which are solutions of second order nonlinear equation related with three wave parameters $T_{1},T_{2}$ and $I_{os}$. The calculation results for standard impulse current waveforms such as 4/10${\mu}s$, 8/20${\mu}s$ and 30/80${\mu}s$ show very good accuracy and this results make it possible to extend to generalization in the design of damped oscillatory lCG with any capacitor. 8/20${\mu}s$ ICG based on the calculated design circuit parameters is fabricated in consideration of the nonlinear load(MOV) variation. Comparisons of the tested waveforms with the designed estimation show error within 10% for the waveform tolerance recommended in IEC 60060-1 and IEEE std. C62.45.

Purpose: CT scan range is insufficient for various reasons in head and neck Tomotherapy^®. To solve that problem, Re-CT simulation is good because CT scan range affects accurate dose calculations, but there are problems such as increased exposure dose, inconvenience, and a change in treatment schedule. We would like to evaluate the minimum CT scan range required by changing the plan setup parameter of the existing CT scan range. Materials and methods: CT Simulator(Discovery CT590 RT, GE, USA) and In House Head & Neck Phantom are used, CT image was acquired by increasing the image range from 0.25cm to 3.0cm at the end of the target. The target and normal organs were registered in the Head & Neck Phantom and the treatment plan was designed using ACCURAY Precision^®. Prescription doses are Daily 2.2Gy, 27 Fxs, Total Dose 59.4Gy. Target is designed to 95%~107% of prescription dose and normal organ dose is designed according to SMC Protocol. Under the same treatment plan conditions, Treatment plans were designed by using five methods(Fixed-1cm, Fixed-2.5cm, Fixed-5cm, Dynamic-2.5cm Dynamic-5cm) and two pitches(0.43, 0.287). The accuracy of dose delivery for each treatment plan was analyzed by using EBT3 film and RIT(Complete Version 6.7, RIT, USA). Results: The accurate treatment plan that satisfying the prescribed dose of Target and the tolerance dose in normal organs(SMC Protocol) require scan range of at least 0.25cm for Fixed-1cm, 0.75cm for Fixed-2.5cm, 1cm for Dynamic-2.5cm, and 1.75cm for Fixed-5cm and Dynamic-5cm. As a result of AnalysisAnalysis by RIT. The accuracy of dose delivery was less than 3% error in the treatment plan that satisfied the SMC Protocol. Conclusion: In case of insufficient CT scan range in head and neck Tomotherapy^®, It was possible to make an accurate treatment plan by adjusting the FW among the setup parameter. If the parameter recommended by this author is applied according to CT scan range and is decide whether to re-CT or not, the efficiency of the task and the exposure dose of the patient are reduced.

The parallel inverter is widely utilized because of its fault-tolerance capability, high-current output at constant voltages and system modularity. The conventional paralled inverter usually employes an active and reactive power control or a frequency and voltage droop control. However, these approaches have the disadvantages that the response time of parallel inverter control is slow against load and system parameter variation to calculate active, reactive power, frequency and voltage. This paper describes novel control scheme for equalization of output power between the parallel connected inverters. The proposed scheme has a fast power balance control response, a simplicity of implementation, and inherent peak current limiting capability since it employes a instantaneous current/voltage control with output voltage and current balance and output voltage regulation. A design procedure for the proposed parallel inverter controller is presented. Futhermore, the proposed constrol scheme is verified through the simulation in various cases such as the system parameter variation, the control parameter variation and the nonlinear load condition.

The world geodetic system transformation of cadastral record have to minimize differences of boundary and area being in cadastral record according to transformation for that is direct connected with the land owner and property protection. However it is very difficult to accurately maintain the before and after transformation because coordinate transformation is generally using a mathematical conversion formula. At present, Helmert model by using 4-parameter is official coordinate transformation model for Cadastral Resurvey Project but scale factor is most sensitive to changes of area and relative position in the same parcel. In this study, it was proposed 3-parameter method using by scale factor fixing through the application of a Helmert in order to avoid changing the area difference and keeping the error within the tolerance range of the boundary which is related to the boundary point coordinate region.

Neural network based models of semiconductor manufacturing processes have been shown to offer advantages in both accuracy and generalization over traditional methods. However, model development is often complicated by the fact that back-propagation neural networks contain several adjustable parameters whose optimal values unknown during training. These include learning rate, momentum, training tolerance, and the number of hidden layer neurOnS. This paper presents an investigation of the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) to determine the optimal neural network parameters for the modeling of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of silicon dioxide films. To find an optimal parameter set for the neural network PECVD models, a performance index was defined and used in the GA objective function. This index was designed to account for network prediction error as well as training error, with a higher emphasis on reducing prediction error. The results of the genetic search were compared with the results of a similar search using the simplex algorithm.

In this paper, we consider the quality problem of black oxide process in casting for which Taguchi method is used. We explain simply the Taguchi method and existing problems in Black Oxide process. We analyze the problem by the quality improvement procedure proposed by Taguchi. The design factors and noises using cause-effect diagram are found, the experiment is made using orthogonal array. After ANOVA, the critical factors are determined and the optimal process condition is designed. After parameter design, we derive the tolerance levels. As a result of changing the levels of process parameters, the variance of quality characteristic was decreased by quarter and the average value was also decreased by half. We estimated the predictable profit of the improvement.
