We present a new method of measuring the volume and cross-sectional area of the vocal tract from magnetic resonance images. The vocal tract was divided by the 2 constriction points on the horizontal and vertical planes. The ratios of the volumes of the segment vocal tracts to that of the entire vocal tract play a crucial role in discriminating Korean monophthongs in that vowels were successfully discriminated by the ratios. The discriminant analysis also demonstrated that the acoustic parameters F1 and F2, in addition to the segment volumes, serve as significant parameters in discriminating Korean monophthongs.

Recent technology advancement related to computer & communication and measuring devices allows system operators to adopt more intelligent monitoring and control systems to their power systems in order to prevent massive system blackout. Among them, wide-area monitoring and control(WAMAC) system based on synchro-phasor technology has been widely applied to power systems for their own purposes. In this paper, the study on the development of load shedding scheme to improve voltage stability in KEPCO system is introduced. Summary of WAMAC technology being developed and applied in the world through extensive literature survey is proposed. And methodology to develop voltage stability index and multi-step load shedding scheme based on synchro-phasor data is also presented.

The zone clustering problem arising from several area such as deciding the optimal location of ambient measuring stations is to devide the 2-dimensional area into several sub areas in which included individual zone shows simimlar properties. In general, the optimal solution of this problem is very hard to obtain. Therefore, instead of finding an optimal solution, the generation of near optimal solution within the limited time is more meaningful. In this study, the combination of a genetic algorithm and the modified k-means method is used to obtain the near optimal solution. To exploit the genetic algorithm effectively, a representation of chromsomes and appropriate genetic operators are proposed. The k-means method which is originally devised to solve the object clustering problem is modified to improve the solutions obtained from the genetic algorithm. The experiment shows that the proposed method generates the near optimal solution efficiently.

Displacement current measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of functional polyimide containing azobenzene derivatives. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about $70{\AA}^2$ and $100{\AA}^2$. Displacement currents were investigated in connection with monolayer of long chain alkylamines. It was found that the maximum of displacement current appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles of polyamic acid and long chain alkylamines.

The mechanism of the displacement current generation for stimulation transmit observed in the present displacement current measurement and theoretically analysed. The orientational change of molecules in monolayers was discussed on the basis of the Maxwell-displacement-current obtained. Maxwell displacement current was generated from monolayers on a water surface by monolayerr compression, and it measuring technique has been applied to the study of monolayers of Dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (L-${\alpha}$-DPPC). Finally, We measured that differential thermal analysis(DTA) of sample. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule about 180${\AA}$$^2$in low pressure, and it was generated when the area per molecule about 110${\AA}$$^2$in high pressure. A result of DTA was showed that temperature at 124.6$^{\circ}C$.

Effect of Surface roughness on nanoscale adhesion was studied experimentally by using colloidal probe technique. Glass micro balls having the radius of $3.3\~17.4{\mu}m$ were glued at the end of AFM cantilevers to prepare colloidal probes. Adhesion force between the colloidal probe and Si-wafer was measured using pull-off force measuring method. Results showed that the measured adhesion forces are not the function of the radius of the glued balls because the ball surfaces are rough. It is also found that roughness parameters such as $R_a,\;R_q\;and\;R_{max}$ do not have important role on nanoscale adhesion. In order to find the effect of surface roughness on nanoscale adhesion, the bearing areas were extracted from the measured topography of glued balls. After normalizing the measured adhesion force with the bearing area, it was found that the normalized adhesion force kept constant as function of the radius of glued ball.

칼라 CRT(cathode ray tube)의 화질을 평가하기 위하여 일차원 CCD(charge coupled-device)를 사용한 MTF(modulation transfer function)측정장치를 구성하였다. CCD의 분광감도와 화소의 크기와 간격을 고려하여 MTF 측정값을 보정하였다. Spot 크기, 비디오 대역폭, 새도우 마스크, 디스플레이 휘도, 그리고 주변 조명이 디스플레이의 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 칼라 CRT 모니터에서 화면의 균일성과 주변 조명에 따른 화질 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 MTFA(modulation transfer function area)를 사용하여 나타내었다.

Larger area will be constructed in a harbor land and container terminal which are constructed in reclaimed land using the dredged materials. Soil improvement work is to be carried out including constructibility, in which is monitoring devices, measuring frequency, installations etc. The ground water tables in the reclaimed area are affected by the several factors which are design reclamation level, consolidation settlement, remaining surcharge pressure and remaining excess pore water pressure. The plan wii be drawn up in which monitoring results for the ground water tables are capable to provide the reliable ground water table when designers and civil engineers construct the harbor structures considering constructibility.

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA), a long history of successful preservative, have raised environmental concerns. Adsorption characteristics of domestic soils for chromium, copper, and arsenic were assessed by measuring distribution coefficient ($K_d$) values of these metal components in a laboratory scale. The results revealed that $K_d$ values were higher in chromium, followed by arsenic and copper in soil matrix. Different soil matrixes resulted in varying mobilities of CCA components. The values of $K_d$ for all three metals increased with organic matter contents. The results suggest that the mobility of metal components may be very limited to the surface area adjacent to CCA-treated wood due to their fairly large distribution coefficient ($K_d$). However, the metal components would be persistent and accumulated in the soil, resulting in high chemical concentration in service area of treated wood.

The objective of this work was to examine the influence of carbonation on the microstructure of cement materials. Different materials, which were CEM I mortar and paste, CEM II mortar and paste, were carbonated at $20^{\circ}C$, 65 % relative humidity and 20 % of $CO_2$ concentration. The specific surface area and pore size distribution were determined from two methods: nitrogen adsorption and water adsorption. The results showed that: (1) nitrogen adsorption and water adsorption do not cover the same porous domains and thus, we observed conflicts in the results obtained by these two techniques; (2) the CEM II based materials seemed to be more sensible to a creation of mesoporosity after carbonation than the CEM I based materials. The results of this study also helped to explain why observations in the literature diverge greatly on the influence of carbonation on specific surface area.
