Mountain streams, which are major components of an entire river network, play an important role as the source of water, sediment, coarse and fine organic matter, and nutrients for lowland rivers. Therefore, dynamics and downstream linkages of each compartment of the mountain stream can be essential for watershed management in catchment scale. The dynamics and downstream linkages are understood as a development of step-pool sequences along a river course. Recently, stream restoration after flooding event often employ the development of step-pool sequences in the world. In this paper, we 1) examined the geomorphic characteristics and the role of step-pool sequences in steep mountain streams by reviewing the results of past studies, and 2) introduced the case studies of stream restoration using step-pool sequences, and finally 3) addressed design methods considering geometry and stability of artificial step-pool sequences for stream restoration. Step-pool sequences play an important role not only as roughness with energy dissipation but also as heterogeneity of stream feature for aquatic habitat. Step-pool sequences, even if they are constructed artificially along a stream, may be effective for small stream restoration considering eco-friendly torrent controls. So far the artificial step-pool sequences were employed for mountainous streams, but those would be applied to urban stream.

미래 기온변화 정보를 제공하는 General Circulation Model (GCM) 자료, 즉 광역 기온자료를 이용하여 우리나라의 국지 수온변화를 추정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 국지수온 추정은 마산만, 시화호, 낙동강 하구를 대상으로 Two-step 접근방법과 One-step 접근방법을 적용하여 각각의 추정오차를 비교 분석하였다. Two-step 추정방법은 광역 기온으로 국지기온을 추정하는 제1단계에서는 선형회귀분석 기법을 적용하였으며, 모든 지점에서 결정계수가 0.98~0.99 정도로 매우 높게 나타났다. 그리고 국지기온으로 국지수온을 추정하는 제2단계에서는 S-형태함수의 비선형 회귀분석기법을 적용하였으며 이 경우 RMS(Root-mean squared) 오차는 마산만에서 2.07 (온도 증가시기), 1.93 (온도 감소시기), 시화호에서는 2.59, 낙동강 하구에서는 1.58로 파악되었다. 반면 동일한 S-형태함수를 이용한 비선형 회귀분석기법으로 광역기온자료로부터 바로 국지 수온을 추정하는 One-step 접근방법을 적용한 경우, RMS 오차는 마산만이 2.28 (온도증가시기), 1.89 (온도감소시기), 시화호에서는 2.55, 낙동강하구는 1.52로 Two-step 접근방법과 비슷한 수준의 오차를 보이는 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 광역 기온자료를 이용하여 국지 수온을 추정하는 경우에는 One-step 접근방법도 유용하고 실용적인 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 정성적인 개인의 공간 행동을 파악하고 행동 원인을 유추해 볼 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하는 것이다. 이동 객체의 단순한 기하학적인 움직임에 초점을 맞추는 것을 넘어서서, 사람과 환경 사이의 관계 변화 내지는 상호작용을 파악하여 이동 객체의 행동 특성을 분석할 수 있는 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 특정 지역의 경계 근처에서의 이동 객체의 움직임에 중점을 두고 분석하였다. 이동 객체의 영향력 범위를 적용하는 새로운 접근 방법을 이용하여 정성적인 개인 공간행위 특성을 파악하였다. 본 연구에서는, 이러한 객체를 시공간적으로 확장된 점(STEP)이라 명명하였으며, 그 영향력 범위를 그 객체의 위치와 함께 잠재적 사건이나 주변과의 상호작용이 가능한 구역으로 정의한다. STEP과 특정공간간의 관계 정량화를 위해, 위상 데이터 모델을 기반으로 2차원 공간에서의 특정 영역과 STEP 사이의 위상 관계를 나타내는 12 교차점 모델이 이용되었다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 STEP 개념의 관점에서, GPS추적 데이터를 이용한 프로토타입 응용 분석결과가 제공되었다.

An out-of-step condition results from the loss of the synchronism of the generators. A disturbance in a power system causes the generator angle to oscillate. When there is a severe disturbance such as a heavy current fault loss of major generation or loss of a large block of load, the oscillation can be severe and even increase largely and finally the out-of-step condition may un. During the power swing and out-of-step conditions, the apparent impedance at a relay location changes, and the power flow also changes as the angle difference is varied. This paper presents a method to analyze the trajectory of complex power during a power swing and out-of-step condition. The trajectory of the complex power is analyzed when a power swings and a fault occurs. Moreover, the complex power is analyzed when the ratios between the voltages at both sides and the line impedances are changed. These methods are verified through simulation using the ATP/EMTP MODELS.

This paper proposes novel real-time footstep planning and following methods for the navigation of humanoid robots. A footstep command is defined by a walking direction and step lengths for footstep planning. The walking direction is determined by a uni-vector field navigation method, and the allowable yawing range caused by hardware limitation is considered. The lateral step length is determined to avoid collisions between the two legs while walking. The sagittal step length is modified by a binary search algorithm when collision occurs between the robot body and obstacles in a narrow space. If the robot body still collides with obstacles despite the modification of the sagittal step length, the lateral step length is shifted at the next footstep. For footstep following, a walking pattern generator based on a 3-D linear inverted pendulum model is utilized, which can generate modifiable walking patterns using the zero-moment point variation scheme. Therefore, it enables a humanoid robot to follow the footstep command planned for each footstep. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiment.

The combination of a buck converter and a forward converter can be considered to accomplish a high step-down non-isolated converter. To decrease the insufficient step-down ratio of a regular buck converter and to distribute switch voltage stress, a forward-integrated buck (FIB) converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed interleaved DC-DC converter provides an additional step-down gain with the help of a forward converter. In addition to its simple structure, the transformer flux reset problem is solved and an additional magnetic core reset winding is not required. The operational principle and an analysis of the proposed FIB converter are presented and verified by experimental results obtained with a 240 W, 150 V/24 V prototype.

In this paper, we deal with a single machine scheduling problems integrating with step deterioration effect and a rate-modifying activity (RMA). The scheduling problem assumes that the machine may have a single RMA and each job has the processing time of a job with deterioration is a step function of the gap between recent RMA and starting time of the job and a deteriorating date that is individual to all jobs. Based on the two scheduling phenomena, we simultaneously determine the schedule of step deteriorating jobs and the position of the RMA to minimize the makespan. To solve the problem, we propose a hybrid typed genetic algorithm compared with conventional GAs.

This paper proposes a two-stage step-down buck and a tapped-inductor boost cascaded converter for high efficiency photovoltaic micro-inverter applications. The proposed inverter is a new structure to inject a rectified sinusoidal current into a low-frequency switching inverter for single-phase grid with unity power factor. To build a rectified-waveform of the output current. the converter employs both of a high efficiency step-up and a step-down converter in cascade. In step-down mode, tapped inductor(TI) boost converter stops and the buck converter operates alone. In boost mode, the TI converter operates with the halt of buck operation. The converter provides a rectified current to low frequency inverter, then the inverter converts the current into a unity power-factor sinusoidal waveform. By applying a TI, the converter can decrease the turn-on ratios of the main switch in TI boost converter even with an extreme step-up operation. The performance validation of the proposed design is confirmed by an experimental results of a 120W hardware prototype.

Two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2$ foam device was investigated by using a solar simulator composed of 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector. The hydrogen production of $CeO_2$ foam device depending on reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step was analyzed, and the hydrogen production of $CeO_2$ and $NiFe_2O_4/ZrO_2$ foam devices was compared. As a result, the amount of reduced $CeO_2$ considerably varies according to the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step. and hydrogen production was not much when the amount of reduced $CeO_2$ decreased even if the reaction temperature of Water-Decomposition step was high. Therefore, it is very important to keep the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step high in two-step thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2$.
