The purpose of this study is to seek out the harrow water requirement applicable for the irrigation plan of paddy field and to find out the factors influenced on a variation in the requirement. The plots of experiment were arranged with randomized block design which was compo- sed of three kinds of soil texture (sandy loam, loam and silty loam) and ploughing depth (12cm, 17cm, and 22cm). The results obtained from this experimental study are summarized as follows. 1. Harrow water reguirement is not only changed by soil texture, but influenced by soil water content just before irrigating 2. Magnitude of total harrow water reguirement appli(able for the irrigation plan, when surface water depth and the water content just before irrigating is fixed on the basis of 30 mm and a shrinkage limit respectively, generally becomes to be 177.5mm, 116.3mm and 113. 8mm in the sandy loam, loam amd silty loam block, respectively. 3. The more a percolation of soil layer occurs, the more the harrow water requirement increases, but it is not much influenced by the increase in ploughing depth. 4. The larger a porosity of soil layer is, the more a net harrow requirement increases 5. The factors that influence on a variation in the harrow water requirement are appea- red to be percolation of soil layer, soil water content just before irrigating, porosity of soil layer, ploughing depth and designed surface water depth etc.

This study investigated the effects of various arsenite concentrations on bio-hydrogen production from molasses using a sequence batch reactor (SBR) operated in a series of three batch cycles. In the first batch cycle, hydrogen production was stimulated at arsenite concentrations lower than 2.0 mg/L, while inhibition occurred at arsenite concentration higher than 2.0 mg/L compared to the control. Hydrogen production decreased substantially during the second batch cycle, while no hydrogen was produced during the third batch cycle at all tested concentrations. The toxic density increased with respect to the increase in arsenite concentrations (6.0 > 1.6 > 1.0 > 0.5 mg/L) and operation cycles (third cycle > second cycle > first cycle). The presence of microorganisms such as Clostridium sp. MSTE9, Uncultured Dysgonomonas sp. clone MEC-4, Pseudomonas parafulva FS04, and Uncultured bacterium clone 584CL3e9 resulted in active stimulation of hydrogen production, however, it was unlikely that Enterobacter sp. sed221 was not related to hydrogen production. The tolerance of arsenite in hydrogen producing microorganisms decreased with the increase in induction time, which resulted in severing the inhibition of continuous hydrogen production.

$CF_4$ removal characteristics were investigated using an elongated arc reactor. The advantage of the elongated arc reactor includes direct use of treated gas as plasma operating gas and the enhancement of the removal reaction by using a thermo-chemistry and a plasma induced chemistry at the same time. Geometrical configurations, such as the length of the reactor and the shape of a throat, were tested to get an optimized removal efficiency with low power consumption. As results, over 95% of $CF_4$ removal was obtained with 300 lpm of total flowrate for various $CF_4$ concentration (0.1~1%). Corresponding specific energy density (SED), which means required electrical energy to treat the unit volume of treated gas, is about 3.5 kJ/L, The present technique can be applied to real applications by satisfying three major concerns, those are the high flowrate of treated gas, high removal efficiency (> 95%), and low power consumption (< 10 kJ/L).

To obtain a high performance in a direct vector controlled induction machine, it is essential to obtain the current rotor flux. The accuracy of flux observers for induction machines inherently depends on parameter sensitivity. This paper proposes an analysis method for conventional flux observers using "parameter sensitivity". The "parameter sensitivity" is defined as the ratio of the percentage change in the system transfer function to the percentage change of the parameter variation. We define the ratio between real flux and estimated no as the transfer function, and analyze a parameter sensitivity of this transfer function. Practical verification is presented to conform the capabilities of the proposed analysis method.sed analysis method.

현재 전국적으로 하천을 횡단하는 보에 어도시설이 되어 있는 곳은 4.6%에 불과하고, 기존에 설치된 어도의 경우에도 설계단계에서부터 회유성 어류의 통로로 부적합하거나, 시공 후 관리부실로 하상이 세굴되거나 퇴적되어 어도로서의 기능을 상실한 경우가 많은 실정이다. 또한 어도의 위치는 통수장애 및 퇴적을 고려하여 하천의 유심(流心)과 연결되는 위치에 설치해야 함에도 불구하고 엄밀한 수리계산 없이 어도의 설계가 이루어지는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 1차원 및 2차원 흐름해석을 통해 어도 효율을 높일 수 있는 방안을 강구하였다. 흐름해석 대상구간은 왕숙천의 퇴계원 수위표 지점부터 상류 약 4km 구간이며, 이 구간에 3개의 보가 존재한다. 상하류 연속성 확보를 위해 어도 설치시 고려 대상 종으로 왕숙천 중류에만 출현하는 긴몰개를 삼았다. 보에 어도가 없는 상태에서 흐름 및 하상변동 해석을 수행하여 이를 바탕으로 어도를 설치하기에 적정한 위치를 도출하였다. 2차원 흐름모형의 하나인 RMA-2를 사용하여 유심선을 파악하였으며, 하상변동 해석 모형인 SED-2D를 이용하여 홍수시 어도 입,출구에 예상되는 세굴 및 퇴적양상을 확인하였다. 갈수시 설치된 어도에 충분한 유량이 확보되는가를 확인하기 위해 HEC-RAS를 이용하여 1차원 흐름해석도 병행하였다. 2차원 흐름해석 결과 대상구간의 좌안쪽으로 유심선이 발생하므로 어도는 이를 따라 보체의 좌안쪽에 설치함이 타당하다. 그러나 홍수시 하상변동해석 결과, 좌안쪽에 상당량의 퇴적이 발생하는 경우에는 퇴적이 진행되지 않는 보의 중앙부에 어도를 설치함이 타당하다고 사료된다.

In this paper we describe designing and implementing a digital neural chip and a parallel neural machine for simulating large scale neural netsorks. The chip is a single-chip multiprocessor which has four digiral neural processors (DNP-II) of the same architecture. Each DNP-II has program memory and data memory, and the chip operates in MIMD (multi-instruction, multi-data) parallel processor. The DNP-II has the instruction set tailored to neural computation. Which can be sed to effectively simulate various neural network models including on-chip learning. The DNP-II facilitates four-way data-driven communication supporting the extensibility of parallel systems. The parallel neural machine consists of a host computer, processor boards, a buffer board and an interface board. Each processor board consists of 8*8 array of DNP-II(equivalently 2*2 neural chips). Each processor board acn be built including linear array, 2-D mesh and 2-D torus. This flexibility supports efficiency of mapping from neural network models into parallel strucgure. The neural system accomplishes the performance of maximum 40 GCPS(giga connection per second) with 16 processor boards.

The results from the Individual Plant Examination of External Event of Yonggwyang nuclear power plants, unit 3 & 4, in Korea have shown that the high degree of diversities of the experts' opinions on seismicity and attenuation models is su, pp.sed to be generic cause of uncertainty of APEs(annual exceedance probability) in the PAHA(probabilistic seismic hazard analysis). This study investigated the sensitivity of the focal depth, which is one of the most uncertain seismicity parameters in Korea, Significant differences in resultant values of annual exceedance probabilities and much more symmetrical shape of the resultant PDFs(probability density functions), in case of consideration of focal depth, are found. These two results suggest that, even for the same seismic input data set including the seismicity models and ground motion attenuation models, to consider focal depth additionally for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis evaluation makes significant influence on the distributions of uncertainties and probabilities of exceedance per year for the whole ranges of seismic hazard levels. These facts suggest that it is necessary to derive focal depth parameter more effectively from the historical and instrumental documents on earthquake phenomena in Koran Peninsula for the future study of PSHA.

The changesin hardness activities of pectinestrase and polygaacturonase and amounts of pectic substances of cucumber during salting at 1$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated, The hardness of the cucumber was decreased dramatically after 3 weeks whereas activities of pectinestrase and polygalacturonase were increased until 3 weeks and 2 weeks respectively and then decrea-sed. The level of alcohol insoluble solid and protopectin in the cucumber were decreased but those of pectic acid and water soluble pectin were increased during the whole salting periods, Protopectin fractionated from alcohol insoluble solid during salting of cucumber was separated using Sephacryl S-500 It showed that high average molecular weight(AMW) of 100,000 was decreased however lower molecular weight compounds was increased. Pectic acid was observed to be decomposed from AMW 200,000 to AMW 500,000 Water soluble pectin from fresh cucumber contained higher level of pentose with peak I of AMW 2,000,000, however after 6 weeks of saltinf peak II which represented AMW 100,000 was separated. From the changes of sugar composition, the phenomena of softness during the salting was probably caused by solubilization of hemicellulose associated with pectin and decomposition of pectic substances.

Objective: The aim of this study is to give ergonomists the brief summary of the recently published ISO standards on human-system interaction and tips for application of the standards. Background: Standard developers did hard work on developing a standard in a concise manner. But most of standards are often bulky in volume. Readers of the standards are difficult to catch key points from the voluminous contents of standards and intermingle among them. Method: Focused on newly developed display/control technology, this study reviewed the 14 ISO standards on human-system interaction published during 2008-2013 and summarized key points from them. Results: Schematic diagrams and tables concisely illustrated the processes, procedures, dimensions, or best practices recommended by the standards concerning conception, design, and usability testing for consumer products. Conclusion: The standards provided the minimum level of requirements on design and evaluation on the physical input devices, electronic displays, and control interfaces based on the current state of technology. But the minimum requirements specified in the standards nowadays become mandatory ergonomic requirements in global trade world. Application: Ergonomists can take a quick and broad view on international standardization activities on newly developed display/control technology from this summary study.

We present here $UBVI$ and H${\alpha}$ photometric results of stellar sources in the bubble nebula NGC 7635. The early type members are selected from the photometric membership criteria. H${\alpha}$ photometry allows us to detect 11 pre-main sequence candidates with H${\alpha}$emission. In addition, we performed PSF photometry for the Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24${\mu}m$ images from archive (program ID 20726, PI: J. Hester) in order to search for the young stellar objects (YSOs). Total 19 sources are classified as YSOs (7 class I, 11 class II, and 1 transitional disk candidates) in the color-color diagrams according to the classification scheme of Gutermuth et al.. Among them, 7 YSOs have counterparts in optical photometric data. These stars can be divided into two groups at given color indices. It implies that there occurred the star formation events more than twice. We would like to discuss the star formation history in the bubble nebula using the results from SED fitter (Robitaille et al.), color composite image from IRAC bands, and spatial distribution of early type stars and YSOs.
