  • The observation data from MTP-5HE ofEPA are used to study the temperature inversion phenomenon in the lower boundary layer in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung of Taiwan. Characteristics of temperature inversion at three cities are extracted using different classification methods. The characteristics of temperature inversion in Taichung and Kaohsiung show a similar trend but are different from that in Taipei. The numbers of the occurrence of temperature inversion in Taichung and Kaohsiung were much larger than that in Taipei. The main types of temperature inversion in Taiwan are radiation inversion and frontal inversion. Compared to frontal inversion, radiation inversion on average occurs at a lower altitude, lasts a longer period, has a deeper thickness, and reaches a higher temperature difference of inversion. Frontal inversion plays a significant role for the inversion event lasting over 12 hours.

  • Renovation of existing sports facilities or construction of temporary ones for international complex games requires a wide variety of hundreds of sub construction projects to be awarded at the same time but there are few precedents required regarding the study of tendering process required in such cases. As award of construction contracts to build sports facilities for various international complex games is a critical determinant of fate of international complex games in the initial phase, it is very critical that adequate construction tendering process bedetermined. This research is aimed to study tendering cases for renovation or construction of critical international sports facilities to enhance efficiency of facility construction and define most reasonable tendering approach to satisfy schedule constraints often associated with international complex games and contribute to improvement of international competitiveness of their host cities and propose a direction for further development. This study also provides inputs to subsequent sports events of comparable scale to minimize trial and error.

  • The first full-scale u-City operation has started in Dongtan u-City. As local cities take over and operate the u-City, unexpected issues arise such as securing the budget of operating costs and self-providing the costs with business models utilizing the u-City assets. The paper presents a strategy for solving these issues. The strategy provides a foundation(infrastructure) for long-term operation models which may reduce the long-term operating costs. In order to establish the economic operating framework of u-City, suggested are some cost-reduction models based on the operating costs structure. For each model, a base framework with comparative analysis of operating costs is provided. With these models, each u-City may select a relevant model according to the characteristics of it. We hope that the framework provides the foundation for efficient and sustainable u-City operations.

  • The utilization of underground space has recently increased with the complication of road, the rise of the land price, and the development of green technology. Underground space ranges from classical excavations to subway, underground cities, and shopping malls where there are crowds of people. At this time, government has spent a lot of money in installing various types of safety facilities for preparations of increasing potential disasters. Therefore, an effective facility management system is required. In this paper, we propose an information retrieval process to effectively extract the facilities' information based on the ontology and spatial analysis in underground space. The ontology-based searching supports hierarchical and associated results as well as knowledge sharing with hierarchy concepts. The spatial analysis based searching has "Buffer" and "Near" functions to operate on a map without understanding any property of the facility information.

  • During the period of June 15, 1978 to February 28, 1979 fungi were isolated from 101 public and home telephones in 6 different cities and classified. Total 203 isolates were obtained and classified into 8 genera and 6 species, however 44 of the isolates were unidentified. Penicillium spp. were frequently found. Forty isolates were derivated from coffee shops, 51 from street public telephones, 35 from stores, 26 from offices and 19 from homes. Also 27 were from Seoul, 30 from Daegu, 46 from Gunsan, 82 from Chunju and 18 from Jaeju. Twenty-seven were isolated in summer and 174 in winter. From the above observations, it is concluded that the transimitters are heavily colonized with various species of fungi and some of them are pathogens. The rates of colonization appeared to be various by locations and seasons.

  • Structure-borne noise due to forced vibration which is originated from subway operation and transmitted to buildings in order of rail-wood tie-concrete bed-structure-soil-building foundations-members of building results in social problem of environmental pollution. Moreover this becomes a serious problem because of the increment of surface traffic and subway operation made by meeting traffic system in crowded cities. Since subway is constructed along the principal road or through the residential area and as the worst case may be, building foundations is contact with top part of subway structure, it is possible that vibration resonance results in fatal damage of buildings. And, structure-borne vibration noise due to subway operation at late and early hours have the residents suffer from insonmia, restlessness and so on. Therefore, to satisfy the future need concerning the environmental protection, this report deals with the influence of structure-borne vibration noise on the basis of the characteristics of Seoul Subway System.

  • In genneral, Businger expression is used for determining a turbulance diffusion coefficient. In this study, it is applied to the surface elements of cities such as Asphalt, Cround, Grass, Pond. We set up 5 m-height bar and measured the ary temperature and wet temperature at 도 height of 0.13, 0.27, 0.5, 1, 0, 3.0, 5.0m. In addition we measured the wind gradient and wind velocity at the height 3 m solar radiation continuously for 48 hours on the surface. Compared the measured data to Businger expression the result showed that Businger expression can be well applied to the complex surface of the city.

  • This study is to explore the '60s 'Retro' trend appeared in the 2003/2004 Fall & Winter Pret-a-porter Collections which was held in the 4 major cities, Paris, Milan, London, New York on the February and March of the last year. It is often said that the '60s Retro trend is one of the most powerful fashion trends in the 2003/2004 season, and it really affects the modem fashion market nowadays. From this study, we can find that the '60s fashion mode certainly contains the 5 formative characteristics such as Minimal Look, Pop Art Fashion, Op Art Fashion, Space-Age Look, Femme-Enfant Style, and following these 5 characteristics of the '60s fashion mode the retrospective trend can be developed to finally create the '60s Retro Look presented in the 2003/2004 F/W Pret-a-porter Collections.

  • This paper examines the persistence of relative consumer price indices for 15 regions in Korea including 6 metropolitan cities and 9 provinces over the period of 1990-2016. In particular, we ask if relative regional price indices contain a common stochastic trend and find that they are not. We then investigate how quickly these relative prices converge to their long run value and find that a half-life of a deviation from the long run value is in the range of 13 to 22 months for the aggregate consumer price indices and in the range of 7 to 13 months for the tradable goods price indices, which is much quicker than the estimates of previous studies. These estimates suggest that existing monetary models with the realistic duration of price rigidities can generate the persistence in relative price indices.
