In this study, two estimation equations for preparing stream data for distributed storm runoff model were developed by analyzing the nonlinear relation between upstream flow-length and stream width, and between upstream flow-length and stream bed-slope. The equations for stream cell were tested in Chungjudam watershed (6,661 $km^2$) using KIMSTORM. Six storm events occurring between 2003 and 2008 were selected for the model calibration and verification before the test of equations. The average values of the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (ME), the volume conservation index (VCI), the relative error of peak runoff rate (EQp), and the difference of time to peak runoff (DTp) were 0.929, 1.035, 0.037, and -0.406 hr for the calibrated four storm events and 0.956, 0.939, 0.055, and 0.729 hr for the two verified storm events respectively. The estimation equations were tested to the storm events, and compared the flood hydrograph. The test result showed that the estimation equation of stream width reduced the peak runoff and delaying the time to peak runoff, and the estimation equation of stream bed-slope showed the opposite results.

Prism compressive strength is the most influential parameter to evaluate the seismic performance of non-structural concrete brick masonry walls, and is affected by the practice and workmanship of masonry workers. This study experimentally investigates the influence of workmanship on prism compressive strength throughout the compressive test with prism specimens constructed according to masonry workmanship. To do this, the workmanship is categorized into good, fair, and poor conditions which are statistically evaluated with thickness and indentation depth of bed-joints. Then, the effect of workmanship on the structural properties of masonry prisms is evaluated by investigating relations between properties such as their compressive strength, elastic modulus and numerical parameters such as thickness, filling of bed-joints. This study demonstrates that the indentation depth is more important parameter for structural properties of masonry prisms and masonry prisms with loss in bed-joint area less than of 7% can be in fair condition.

Fire detection system is used for detection and alarm-generation of danger in case of fire. Most fire detection systems being used these days often malfunction from false positive and false negative errors. To improve detection reliability, an integrated fire detection algorithm using multi-senor information of heat, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is suggested, then built and tested using the LabVIEW environment. Simulated using sensor measurement data offered by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), possibility of reducing false positive and false negative errors is verified.

Extraction of correct endmembers is prerequisite to successful spectral unmixing analysis. Various endmember extraction algorithms have been proposed and most experiments based on endmember extraction have used synthetic image and AVIRIS image data. However, these data can present different characteristics comparing with hyperspectral images acquired from real domestic environment. For this study, a test-bed was constructed for analysing the difference on diverse substances and sizes in domestic areas, and AISA hyperspectral imagery acquired from the test-bed was tested with two well-known endmember extraction algorithms: IEA, and N-FINDR. The results indicated that two different algorithms depended on the number of endmembers and material types in the test-bed. Therefore, optimized number of endmembers and characteristics of materials in test-bed site should be considered for the effective application of endmember extraction algorithms.

Cloud computing systems require a huge number of storage servers due to the growing implications of power bills, carbon emissions, and logistics of data centers. These considerations have motivated researchers to improve the energy efficiency of storage servers. Most servers use a lot of power irrespective of the amount of computing that they are doing, and one important goal is to redesign servers to be power-proportional. However, Research on large-scale storage systems is hampered by their cost. It is therefore desirable to develop a scalable test-bed for evaluating the power consumption of large-scale storage systems. We are building on open-source projects to construct a test-bed which will contribute to the assessment of power consumption in tiered storage systems. Integrating the cloud application platform can easily extend the proposed testbed laying a foundation for the design and evaluation of low-power storage servers.

The final site of offshore wind power plant should be decided by comprehensive examination of various conditions such as wind resource, sea depth, geology, grid connection, social circumstance and environmental issue. Wind condition is typically regarded as the most important factor because wind energy increases in proportion to wind velocity and it directly relates to the amount of power output, efficiency of power plant and profitability. Advanced countries in the offshore wind power sector such as Denmark, UK and Germany, they are analyzing wind resource accurately by installing the meteorological mast in the ocean in order to get the optimal type of wind turbine and maximum generation efficiency. Also, it is made much of designing offshore power plant on the basis of actual measurement by met-mast and those wind farms have a chance to get the loan with reduced interest rate in project financing. In Korea, the HEMOSU-1 is installed in the ocean around Wido island to analyze wind resource of test bed of 100MW offshore wind power on october last year. This paper deals with the design and construction procedure of the first met-mast in Korea and also shows the site characteristics of test bed. Therefore, this paper will give useful information to local governments and private business sector who are trying to construct offshore wind farm and it can also be a good reference for the following projects of meteorological mast in near future.

In position detection for super speed maglev propulsion control, the influence of position signal delay and transmit cycle on propulsion power degradation is investigated analytically and validated by test bed experiments. As a solution to the problem caused by signal transmit, position signal compensation and estimation method is proposed and applied to the test bed. Through experiments, it is confirmed that by adapting the proposed method, the propulsion power is increased remarkably, which results in acceleration and velocity performance improvement. This method could be effectively applied to position detection system of Korean super speed maglev which is under development.
