The high-speed train(KTX) was operated in domestic since 2004 and 4years have been passed since then. At the beginning most of the KTX component maintenance period was followed by the France SNCF. It was settled by the TBO(Time Between Overhauls). But the environment and operation condition are different form each other, so the TBO maintenance period can be different in some component. Therefore new TBO is necessary based on our own circumstances. This paper introduces failure analysis case on some components to set TBO in domestic. KTX-RCM(Reliability Centered Maintenance System), MICS(Maintenance Information Computer System) and KOVIS(KORAIL ERP System) Data was investigated.

The research and development trend of Trajectory-based Operations(TBO), which is considered as a key concept of future Air Traffic Management(ATM), is presented in this paper. The operational concepts of TBO in ASBU(Aviation System Block Upgrade) from ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) have been summarized, and the detailed operational concepts and procedures, which can be realized in the near future, are described through the investigations of operational concept development and related research/development activities of TBO in USA and Europe. The technical enablers, which have been identified based on understanding of TBO operational concepts, are introduced, and related research/development status of each technical enabler has been presented.

Modern Air Traffic Management has been shifted from the conventional vector- based clearances to trajectory based operations (TBO) concept which utilizes four-dimensional trajectory based on the internationally interoperable information using Globally Unique Flight Identifier (GUFI). This study reviews the development for TBO-related standards and Flight Information Exchange Model (FIXM), which has been discussed by the ICAO Air Traffic Management Requirements and Performance Panel (ATMRPP). In addition, plans for the next step with TBO and the Republic of Korea's participation on the Mini-Global Demonstration were also introduced.

In this paper, Human-in-the-Loop (HiTL) simulations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) operations in two different Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts, conventional radar vectoring and Trajectory Based Operations (TBO), were performed to assess the impacts of RPAS integration in the future ATM environment. TBO concept maximizes the throughput by planning and sharing 4-D trajectories between pilots and controllers, and it is considered one of the key concepts to enable RPASs to operate with manned aircraft in congested airspaces. RPASs are characterized by having communication delay or temporary loss of communication. TBO capability was added to the integrated air traffic simulation system for this study, which was developed in the Inha University. HiTL simulations were performed by a trainee air traffic controller with three scenarios, and the data were analyzed using safety, efficiency, and controller workload metrics. The results suggest that TBO were effective in reducing delays and controller workload while maintaining the level of safety.

This study is to observe the bacteriocidal effect of the Low Level Laser (LLL) against oral microorganisms which are related to the occurrence of periodontal diseases and oral malodors. The Porphyromonas gingivalis 2561 (P. gingivalis 2561) and Prevotella intermedia (Pr. intermedia) were treated with photosensitizing substance-toluidine blue O (TBO; C.I. 52040) and then radiated with the LLL which has 650nm wavelength for 1, 2, 3 and 5mins. continuously upon varying distances of 1, 2 and 3cm for each experimental groups. The results are as follows; 1. The P. gingivalis 2561 which was treated with TBO and then radiated with LLL at a distance of 3cm for 1min. showed 99.99% higher antibacterial effect in comparison to the experimental group treated only with TBO. 2. The Pr. intermedia which was treated with TBO and then radiated with LLL at a distance of 3cm for 1min. showed 99.8% higher antibacterial effect in comparison to the experimental group treated only with TBO. 3. The bacteriocidal effect of the P. gingivalis 2561 treated with TBO was found to gradually increase as the radiation time of LLL extended from 1min. to 3min. at 1min. intervals. 4. A slight decrease in bacteriocidal effect of the P. gingivalis 2561 was found as the radiation distance of LLL increased from 1cm to 3cm at 1cm intervals. 5. The bacteriocidal effect of the Pr. intermedia was found to slightly decrease as the radiation distance of LLL increased from 1cm to 3cm at 1cm. intervals. As the results shown above suggest, the bacteriocidal effect of LLL was found to increase as the radiation time extended and the distance shortened. Moreover, even the experimental group radiated with LLL at 3cm distance for 1min. which showed the lowest level of bacteriocidal effect, was found to have 99.8% higher bacteriocidal effect than the experimental group which was treated only with TBO and, therefore, this clearly shows the bacteriocidal effect of LLL against oral microorganisms. Thus, the use of LLL is thought to become very useful for suportive treatment for periodontitis and implantitis, and controlling oral malodors as long as it is used within the limits where there is no side effect.

The 8200-unit electric locomotive, which is a high-efficiency multipurpose electric locomotive, is a German model, namely BR152 series ES64F, and it is manufactured to suit the operating conditions in Korea. Since 2003, 83 locomotives have been introduced in Korea, and they have been operating in the general railway sector for both passenger and freight transport. Although more than 15 years have passed since their first introduction, owing to the characteristics of vehicles introduced overseas, responding promptly to failures has been difficult owing to problems related to factors such as transfer of technology and procurement of parts for maintenance. Furthermore, there have been difficulties in operating the locomotives on the basis of the manufacturer-recommended time-between-overhaul (TBO) cycle. Therefore, a new TBO should be determined. To support the development of a reliability-based maintenance system, this study conducted a reliability and TBO analysis by using failure data obtained from KOVIS, and future management measures are presented.

The first driving device of the power bogies for the Korean high-speed railway vehicle consists of the traction motor (TM) and the motor reduction gears unit (MRU). Although TM and MRU are the mechanically integrated structures, their time between overhauls (TBO) have two separate intervals due to different technical requirements(i.e. TBO of MRU: $1.8{\times}10^6km$, TBO of TM: $2.5{\times}10^6km$). Therefore, to reduce the unnecessary number of preventive maintenances, it is important to evaluate the optimal TBO with a viewpoint of reliability-center maintenance towards cost-effective solution. In this study, derived from the field data in maintenance, fault tree analysis and failure rate of the subsystem considering criticality of the components are evaluated respectively. To minimize the conventional total maintenance cost, the same optimal TBO of the components is derived from genetic algorithm considering target reliability and improvement factor. In this algorithm, a chromosome which comprised of each individual is the minimum preventive maintenance interval. The fitness function of the individual in generation is acquired through the formulation using an inverse number of the total maintenance cost. Whereas the lowest common multiple method produces only a four percent reduction compared to what the existing method did, the optimal TBO of them using genetic algorithm is $2.25{\times}10^6$km, which is reduced to about 14% comparing the conventional method.

Chitosan, a deacetylated polymer of chitin, was applied and characterized as an adsorbent for a dye Toluidine Blue O. The adsorption of Toluidine Blue O by chitosan was affected by the particle sire and mass of chitosan, initial dye concentration, reaction time, and solution pH. More dye was adsorbed the smaller the chitosan particles. When initial ratio of dye to chitosan was over 1 : 500, the adsorption of dye was rapidly declined. Adsorption rate of dye to chitosan showed 2 phases, rapidly occurred one at the beginning within 3 min and thereafter very slowly occurred one. The amount of dye adsorbed was increased with increase in pH.

This study investigated characteristics of decomposition of tetrabutoxysilane (TBOS) as a slow release substrate (SRS) and on effect of TBOS decompostion compounds (acetate and butylate) for anaerobic dechlorination of trichloroethylene (TCE). In the batch experiment, TCE, cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE), 1-butanol and TBOS were analysed by GC/FID and acetate and butylate were measured by HPLC. 1M of TBOS transferred and accumulated 4M of 1-butanol by abiotically hydrolysis reaction. The hydrolysis rate was in a range of 0.186 ${\mu}M/day$. On other hand, 1-butanol fermented to butyrate and acetate with indigenous culture from natural sediments. This results showed that TBOS could be used a slow release substrate in the natural sites. The dechlorinated potential of TCE with acetate and butyrate was increased with a decreasing initial TCE concentrations. In addition, first order coefficients of dechlorination with acetate as electron donor was higher then that with butyrate. It is because that dechlorination of Geobacter lovleyi was affected by substrate affinity, biodegradability and microbial acclimation on various substrates. However, dechlorinated potential of Geobacter lovleyi was decreased with accumulation cis-DCE in the anaerobic decholoronation process. The overall results indicated that SRS with Geobacter lovleyi might be a promising material for enhancing dechlorination of TCE on natural site and cis-DCE should be treated by ZVI as reductive material or by coexisting other dechlorinated bacteria.
