We present two effects of the case currents of a mobile phone on changing the radiation pattern of a PIFA and on enhancing the bandwidth of the monopole antenna. In order to change the radiation pattern, a modification of the ground plane is suggested to suppress the back radiation. The resulting gain is higher than that of a conventional PIFA by 0.5 dB. For enhancing the bandwidth, two parasitic metallic lines are added in the direction orthogonal to the monopole to induce double resonances. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed structure is 341 MHz, which is nearly twice of that of the conventional monopole.

The long-term mooring performed at a KOGA station, located at about $30^{\circ}20^{\prime}N$, $126^{\circ}12^{\prime}E$ in the East China Sea shelf, shows some different behaviors between "semi-diurnal" and "diurnal currents" defined as the currents with periods around, respectively, a half day and a day. They appear to be predominantly tidal having significant coherences with sea level changes around the semi-diurnal and diurnal frequencies. The "semi-diurnal current" is strongly barotropic all year round. However, contrastingly, it is largely baroclinic in summer in the area about 70 km nearer to the continental slope, referred to as the "slope-area", as was found in previous current observations. The "diurnal current" of tidal origin is strongly barotropic in winter. In spring and summer, however, it becomes more baroclinic although it still remains largely barotropic, also showing more of its barotropic nature than in the "slope-area". The inertial oscillation contributing to the "diurnal current" appears to be more prominent when the current is baroclinic, indicating the important role played by stratification in generation of inertial oscillations. Downward energy propagation of inertial oscillation is not observed, suggesting that it is not created at the surface by wind. Considering that the study area is both near a critical latitude and proximity to the continental slope, it is suggested that parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) plays a significant role in creating the baroclinic inertial oscillation.

At present, harmonic currents cause serious problems in power conversion system using the semiconductor switching device. Also some of the conversion system provokes harmonic currents against to the main power supply system and causes hindrances for the system. Main power impedance of the traditional LC passive filter method, influences on the filter characteristics and amplifies the harmonics when resonance phenomenon is occurred. And the traditional existing 2 level inverter systems show the limit in capacity of voltage and current in case of occurring sudden load change. So, to solve this problem active filter which uses cascaded H-bridge multi level inverter has been designed and ex-filter system circuits were totally investigated. With multi level active filtering system not only the size of filter but also the size of filter for transformer can be reduced by half and so as to the weight, while the capacity of inverter can be double sized and wave forms can be compensated exactly and precisely. Also by the benefit of the increase in rating capacity, the various currents owing to the load fluctuation can be dealt more steadily. In order to simulate the wave form of harmonics based on the measured data on the AC 25kV high speed Domestic Commercial railway, it was simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC and PSIM. Based on the results of this demonstration, the power supply system and inverter system would be more stable and also promoting its efficiency.

Clouds are usually formed by adiabatic cooling through ascending currents, radiation cooling or a mixture of warm air and cold one. Ascending currents are caused by covection currents, or they are accompanied with fronts. Thus clouds are formed through various kinds of causes and procedures. So they are various in height and shape. Form of clouds was classified on the basis of the thecriteria that L. Howard proposed in 1803. He distinguished three simple, fundamental classes-Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus-from which the others were derived by trasition or association. And they are subdivided into 10 genera according to their height and shape. Most of the clouds are subdivided into the detailed kinds to the characteristics such as appearance or intensity of convection current. Sometimes completly different shape of cloud can be developed out of the 'mother-cloud'. In korea, the stratocumulus, altostratus and cirrus clouds frequently appear. Generally we are likely to have rain or snow from the stratus cloud forms(As, St, Sc) and rain shower or hail from the cumulus forms(Ac, Cu, Cb).

This study numerically investigates the characteristics of the velocity field including the average flow velocity, longshore current and turbulent kinetic energy acting as the main external forces of the salient formed behind the permeable submerged breakwaters. Shoreline response is also predicted by the longshore-induced flux. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical wave tank based on the OLAFOAM, CFD open source code, is utilized to simulate the velocity field around permeable submerged breakwaters under the formation condition of salient. The characteristics of the velocity field around permeable submerged breakwaters with respect to the gap width between breakwaters and the installing position away from the shoreline under a range of regular waves for different wave height are evaluated. The numerical results revealed that as the gap width between breakwaters increases, the longshore currents become stronger. Furthermore, as the gap width becomes narrower, the point where flow converges moves from the center of the breakwater to the head part. As a result, it is possible to understand the formation of the salient formed behind the submerged breakwaters. In addition, it was found that the longshore currents caused by the gap width between breakwaters and the installation position away from the shoreline are closely related to the turbulent kinetic energy.

In the study, experiments are performed in the mixing region combined wave and current to investigate the characteristics of local scour around a slender pile. Wave generator and current generator are used for the experiments and currents are co-directions with the waves. The local scour depths around the pipeline are obtained according to the various pipe diameters, wave periods, wave heights, and current velocities. The experiments show that the maximum equilibrium local scour depth increases with pipe diameter, wave period, wave height, and current velocity. Using the experimental results, the correlations of scour depth and parameters such as Shields parameter ($\theta$), Froude number (Fr), Keulegan-Carpenter number (KC), Ursell number ($U_R$), modified Ursell number ($U_{RP}$) and ratio of velocities ($U_c/U_c+U_m$) are analyzed. In the mixing region combined with waves and currents, The Froude number of single parameters is the main parameter to cause the local scour around a slender pile due to waves and current and this means that current governs the scour within any limits of the currents.

In the study, experiments are performed in the interaction region combined with wave and current to investigate the characteristics of local scour around submarine pipelines. Wave generator and current generator are used for the experiments and two current directions were used; co-direction and counter direction to the wave. The local scour depths around the pipeline are obtained according to the various pipe diameters(D), wave periods(T), wave heights(H), and current velocities(V). The experiments show that the maximum equilibrium local scour depth increases with pipe diameter, wave period, wave height, and current velocity. Using the experimental results, the correlations of scour depth and parameters such as Shields parameter($\theta$), Froude number(Fr), period parameter, Keulegan-Carpenter number(KC), Ursell number($U_R$), modified Ursell number($U_{RP}$) and ratio of velocities($U_{c}/(U_{c}+U_{m})$) are analyzed. In the interaction region combined with waves and currents, Froude number and Shields parameter are found the main parameters to cause the local scour around the submarine pipelines and this means that current governs the scour within any limits of the currents.

This presents a fault detecting method for a power transformer based upon a neural network. To maintain a normal relay operating conditions, external winding faults of a power transformer and magnetic inrush have been tested under consideration of the EMTP/ATP software and internal faults of power transformer have been tested by the EMTP/BCTRAN software. The neural network has been evaluated by the proposed fault. Input variables of the neural network for the proposed model can be obtained from fundamental currents, restraining and operating currents. This algorithm uses back-propagation and the ratio of a restraining current and an operating current as relay input parameters. The ratio may enhance the fault detection since the restraining currents increase rapidly at external faults. The proposed detecting method has been applied to the practical relay systems for transformer protection. As a result, the proposed detecting method based on the neural network has been shown to have better characteristics.

To arrange effectively artificial reefs for marine afforestation, tidal currents were analyzed by numerical experiments. The numerical experiments were carried out by EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code), and water column was vertically divided 5 layers. Tidal current patterns showed to be affected by main current at outside of study area, and circle currents of two were observed from analysis of residual currents. The calculated harmonic constants of tide and tidal current agreed well with those of observations at two stations for tide and two stations for tidal current. The model successfully reproduced the tidal current around the Geomoondo marine afforestation. It suggest that artificial reefs for marine afforestation should be installed belt zone at study area.
