A number of construction practices, implemented during the design process of a reinforced concrete (RC) structural system, may have significant consequences on the behaviour of the structural system in the case of earthquake loading. Although a number of provisions are imposed by the contemporary Greek national design codes for the seismic design of RC structures, in order to reduce the consequences, the influence of the construction practices on the seismic behaviour of the structural system remains significant. The objective of this work is to perform a comparative study in order to examine the influence of three, often encountered, construction practices namely weak ground storey, short and floating columns and two combinations on the seismic performance of the structural system with respect to the structural capacity and the maximum interstorey drifts in three earthquake hazard levels.

In this paper, we study a problem of providing reliable data transmission in wireless sensor network(WSN). A system with forward error correction9FEC) can provide an objective reliability while using less transmission power than a system without FEC. We propose the use of LDPC codes of various code rate (0.53, 0.81, 0.91) of FEC for WSN. Node-node-node interference is considered in the simulation in addition to AWGN in the channel. It is shown that the rate of 0.91 LDPC coded system obtained 7dB gain in signal to noise ratio over a system without FEC.

The paper reviews briefly of the codes above, together with the effects of the successful introduction of the QMS into the shipping industry. This paper suggests a conceptual prototype for a quality management system (QMS) of seafaring labour, which itself would be a sub-system of the total quality management (TQM) system in a shipping company, on the basis of the ISM and the ISMA Codes, ISO 9002, ISO 9004, and other quality management guidelines. The QMS is essential for the survival of the Korean shipping industry. It will contribute not only to assuring the quality of crew, but also, consequently, to increasing the international competitive edge of the shipping companies in Korea.

In this research a Simulink/RTW-baed realtime control system was developed for an induction motor vector control. On the Simulink window, the control system is designed in the form of block diagrams, program codes are produced automatically with the RTW(Real Time Workshop), then an DSP c compiler compiles the program codes. With this automatic program producing method rapid prototyping is realized with the least time-consuming manual programming procedures. To show effectiveness of the proposed system designing scheme a DSP-based induction motor vector controller was constructed and implemented.

The systematic information management of chemical accidents is required as a tool for the policy making, system improvement and release of information. However, there isn't yet a systematic chemical accidents tracking system in Korea, which make a confusion that the related statistics are different from each others. In this research, we analyzed domestic and international chemical accidents data and made the chemical accident codes for the information tracking system properly.

This study deals with an autonomous generation of simulation codes for the design of processes of c CIM system based on the concept of model transformation. We assume we have a functional model of an organization which is developed using the well-known IDEF0 methodology. Then, a modeling methodology, called PROWD(PRocess flOW Description), is suggested to develop the flow processes of the organization. To Derive simulation specifications for the transformed PROWD model, we define a module of a "unit system" for each activity of PROWD model. Then specifications for system entities and resources are derived from input/control/mechanism/output and entity flows of PROWD model. Entitiy queues are defined from the sates and events of unit systems. Finally, SIMAN model frame is generated from those specifications through a suggested algorithm. The implementability and validity of the proposed approach is tested by developing a prototype of a computer-assisted design system on the operation processes of FMS installed at SNU-ASRI (Seoul National University-Automation and Systems Research Institute).nstitute).

Rapid expansion of network and increment of computer system access cause computer security to be an important issue. Hence, the researches in intrusion detection system(IDS)are active to reduce the risk from hackers. Considering IDS, we propose a new IDS model(DABIDS : Distributed Agent Based Intelligent intrusion Detection System) based on distributed intrusion detecting agents. The DABIDS dynamically collects intrusion behavior knowledge from each agents when some doubtable behaviors of users are detected and make new agents codes using intrusion scenario data base, and broadcast the detector codes to the distributed intrusion detecting agent of all node. This DABIDS can efficiently solve the problem to reduce the overhead for training detecting agent for intrusion behavior patterns.

In this paper, the modified iterative decoding algorithm[8] by partitioning check nodes is applied to low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes in IEEE 802.16e standards, which gives us the improvement for convergence speed of decoding. Also, the new method of check node partitioning which is suitable for decoding of the LDPC codes in IEEE 802.16e system is proposed. The improvement of convergence speed in decoding reduces the number of iterations and thus the computational complexity of the decoder. The decoding method by partitioning check nodes can be applied to the LDPC codes whose decoder cannot be implemented in the fully parallel processing as an efficient sequential processing method. The modified iterative decoding method of LDPC codes using the proposed check node partitioning method can be used to implement the practical decoder in the wireless communication systems.

Mobile codes such as Java, Java-Script, ActiveX, and Script code are loaded into a client system first and then run without any notice to the client user. Executing code by this mechanism may cause various security problems such as flowing out system information, deleting or modifying files, and exhausting system resources. In this paper we propose an integrated authentication system to establish the uniform security countermeasure on various mobile codes. The system helps to solve to problems mentioned above. An integrated authentication system allows to load into an interpreter using ACL (Access Control List) which sets up an access authority to the executable contents and communicates with an interpreter using client/server model.

Systematic research has been conducted by KAERI to develop a supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle energy conversion system coupled with a sodium cooled fast reactor. For the development of the supercritical $CO_2$ Brayton cycle ECS, KAERI researched four major fields, separately. For the system development, computer codes were developed to design and analyze the supercritical $CO_2$ Brayton cycle ECS coupled with the KALIMER-600. Computer codes were developed to design and analyze the performance of the major components such as the turbomachinery and the high compactness PCHE heat exchanger. Three dimensional flow analysis was conducted to evaluate their performance. A new configuration for a PCHE heat exchanger was developed by using flow analysis, which showed a very small pressure loss compared with a previous PCHE while maintaining its heat transfer rate. Transient characteristics for the supercritical $CO_2$ Brayton cycle coupled with KALIMER-600 were also analyzed using the developed computer codes. A Na-$CO_2$ pressure boundary failure accident was analyzed with a computer code that included a developed model for the Na-$CO_2$ chemical reaction phenomena. The MMS-LMR code was developed to analyze the system transient and control logic. On the basis of the code, the system behavior was analyzed when a turbine load was changed. This paper contains the current research overview of the supercritical $CO_2$ Brayton cycle coupled to the KALIMER-600 as an alternative energy conversion system.
