An experimental study was performed of natural-convection downward smolder spread across a sawdust bed peripherally enclosed with an insulating container, to examine the effect of the open- ing condition at the top end on downward smolder spread. Experiments were conducted by using relatively coarse sawdust and 25-cm-long cylindrical container The variations of temperature profiles along the bed axis with time were determined far different opening conditions and were com-pared with those in smolder spread from open top to open bottom. It was shown that the smolder zone initiated from open top toward closed bottom penetrates the bed with keeping high peak temperature like the case of open top to open bottom spread, although mean spread rate is smaller. This indicates that the downward smolder zone can be sustained stably if sufficient air or oxygen Is supplied from the back of it by natural convection even if upward draft entering from the bottom of the bed is absent. When the top end was partially closed by mounting a cover after stable smolder spread had begun from open top toward open bottom, the temperature at the peak decreased more than 200 K and the smolder zone became to spread with thickening residue. In this case, the shape of temperature profiles continuously changed or decayed until end-effect at the open bottom end enhanced the reaction. The temperature at the shrunk peak, free from the end-effect, was almost identical with the temperature at the exothermic oxidative-degradation zone in smolder spread from open top to open bottom. from these results, it can be inferred for natural-convection downward smolder spread that the oxidation reaction of the char is very sensitive to the oxygen supply by natural convection in the space above the smolder zone, and that the top end opening condition strongly alters the completeness of reactions, structure, and behavior of the smolder zone.

Oil이나 Gas생산시 발생하는 Produced water의 양은 미국 내에서만 연간 수십억 배럴에 육박한다. 이러한 Produced water의 재이용을 위한 첫 번째 과제는 유해 유기물질을 제거하는 것으로, 본 연구에서는 수중의 BTEX를 가스상태로 변화시킨 후 Vapor phase biofilter (VPB)로 분해, 제거 효능을 평가하였다. VPB 시스템은 짧은 기간의 시스템 shutdown에는 거의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주입 되는 농도가 Peak 형태를 가질때는 제거효능의 저하가 관찰 되었으며, 이중 Benzene이 가장 민감하게 반응하였다. 이를 위한 해결책으로 GAC로 충진된 Buffering Column이 사용되었으며, 이는 peak 형태의 유입농도 Profile을 완만한 형태로 buffering하는 역할을 하였다. 현장 적용을 통하여, 본 시스템이 Produced water내에 존재하는 용존 BTEX를 효과적으 로 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment (1% NaOH+1.5% $H_2O_2$; 1 AHPMS, 2% NaOH+1.5% $H_2O_2$; 2AHPMS) on rate and extent of degradation of mustard straw (MS) in sacco in sheep, and its in vivo digestion and ruminal fermentation characteristics when fed to sheep with concentrate (200 g per sheep daily). The treatment of straw with 1 and 2% AHP increased its sodium content by 148 and 296% to that of untreated straw (UMS). There was significant decrease in NDF and hemicellulose contents of AHP treated straw and increase in cellulose and lignin contents. Phenolic acids like ferrulic, $\rho$-coumaric and o-coumaric significantly (p<0.001) reduced by AHP treatment of mustard straw. In first experiment the in sacco degradation of DM, OM and NDF was significantly (p<0.01) greater for 2 AHPMS than for UMS at all incubation periods. The disappearance of nutrient from 1 AHPMS and 2 AHPMS treated straws continue to increase up to 96 h whereas in UMS the peak disappearance was found at 48 h. By using the equation {(y=a+b) ($1-e^{-ct}$)} the degradation rates (c) for DM, OM, and NDF were significantly higher for UMS than AHP treated straws. Level of alkali (1 and 2%) had significant effect on degradation characteristics (a, b, c and $P_{0.05}$) of DM and NDF fraction of MS. However, the effect was not pronounced on OM fraction of MS. In feeding experiment, the intake of nutrients for DM, OM, cell wall constituents and energy was higher on 2 AHPMS, whereas no effect on the digestibility of these nutrients was observed. The apparent nitrogen retention was higher (p<0.05) both in 1 and 2 AHPMS groups. Water intake by animals was significantly increased due to AHP treated mustard straw feeding. Rumen liquor pH was higher in 2 AHPMS fed animals. The $NH_3-N$ of rumen liquor was not affected by feeding of AHP treated MS based diets. Total VFA concentration was significantly (p<0.01) higher in UMS fed group. The fractional out flow rate of DM was higher (p<0.05) in animals fed on 2 AHPMS diets compared to UMS and lAHPMS fed groups. The population of large holotrichs was higher (p<0.05) on AHP treated MS fed diets compared to UMS. The study indicated that treatment of mustard straw with AHP changed its chemical composition towards a better feed. The nutritive value of 2% AHP treated mustard straw was better in terms of dry matter intake and apparent nitrogen retention. The higher in sacco DM, OM and NDF disappearance however, was not confirmed by in vivo data in this study.

버스트 방식 OFDM 시스템에서의 프레임 동기는 수신된 프레임의 시작 위치를 판단하고, 정확한 FPT-window 위치 추정을 위해 가장 우선적으로 수행되어야 한다. 유효 OFDM 심볼 내의 규정된 반복 패턴 또는 보호 구간의 상관을 이용하는 기존의 일반적인 프레임 동기 방식은 연속적으로 증가하다 감소하는 상관 출력 특성에 의해 정확한 프레임 시작 지점 검출이 어려우며, 수신 신호와 기준 신호 간의 상관 특성을 이용하는 방식은 주파수 옵셋으로 인한 성능 열화를 초래한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 프레임 동기 방식으로서 주파수 옵셋에 강인하고 정확한 프레임 시점 검출이 가능한 차동 상관(Differential Correlation) 방식을 기반으로 한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그러나, 일반적인 차동 신호의 상관 결과는 프리앰블의 반복 구조에 의해 다수의 Peak를 가지게 되며 이로 인하여 정확한 프레임 동기의 검출 성능이 열화된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차동 검출 방식의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 차동 신호 생성 시 반복되는 동일 패턴 구간의 샘플을 이용하여 단일 상관 Peak를 갖는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 다중경로 페이딩 채널 환경에서 페이딩에 의한 프레임 시작 위치 검출 에러를 줄이기 위하여 신호 전력으로 상관 출력 값을 정규화하는 블록을 도입함으로써 고속 이동 채널 환경에서의 프레임 시작 지점 검출 확률을 높였다.

In this study, we carried out the experiments for measuring the variations of corrosion potential and current density for polarization curves with polyvinylchloride. The results exhibited especially the influence affecting the corrosion potential and various conditions (temperature, day, pH, bacteria, and added salt). The second anodic current density peak and the minimum passive current density are designated $I_P/I_0,$ respectively. The value of $I_P/I_O$ is used as a measurement for the extent of degradation of the polyvinylchloride. The potentiodpnamics parameters of the corrosion were obtained using Tafel equation.

PD in defect of solid insulation system is very harmful since It often leads to deterioration of insulation by the combined action of the discharge ions bombarding the surface and the action of chemical compounds that are formed by the discharge. PD can indicate incipient failure, so it has been used to determine degradation of insulation. In this paper. we investigated PD in defects of solid insulation by using statical method and classified PD patterns with surface discharge, electrical tree and void discharge by using Kohonen network. we used peak charge, average discharge power, average discharge current, repetition rate, skewness, kurtosis, QN of the max pulse height vs. repetition rate $H_q(n)$ for analysis and classification.

We propose two new rate control schemes to improve MPEG-2 rate control in view of visual quality when scene changes happen. Two proposed schemes are characterized by real-time and non real-time improvement to reduce the impact of scene changes. We also propose a new target-bit prediction method using spatial activity of pictures and present a simple and efficient scene change detection scheme using signed difference of mean absolute difference (MAD). Computer simulation results show that the proposed real-time algorithm effectively alleviates visual quality degradation after scene changes. The proposed non real-time algorithm gives maximum 2 dB improvement in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) at a scene-changed picture, compared with MPEG-2 rate control scheme and it shows better quality than the real-time one.

In this paper, we present the performance of a multi-code parallel combinatory CDMA system using bi-orthogonal modulation under multipath fading channel. In general, the dynamic range of the amplitude of the transmit signal is very large in conventional multi-code CDMA systems, resulting in severe nonlinear distortion due to high power amplifier and thus significant BER performance degradation. Since the number of simultaneously multiplexed code channels in the proposed system is reduced, the proposed system exhibits reduction of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal amplitude with significant BER improvement. We verify the performance of the proposed system by computer simulations under the Vehicular B multipath fading channel model by ARIB.

This paper proposes a numerical methodology for capturing the complete curve of a pressuremeter test including initial or disturbed parts and loops through a stiffness-based approach adopted in three dimensional finite difference code, FLAC3D. In order to enable this, a new hyperbolic model was used to replace the conventional linear elastic model prior to peak strength of Mohr-Coulomb soil model and update or degradation of shear modulus was considered. Presented modeling approach and implemented constitutive model are impressively successful. It leads to obtain the whole set of parameters for characterizing sands and seems promising for modeling the most of geotechnical structures.
