  • This study aims to select an optimal site for the development of small-scaled artificial ground water recharge system with the purpose of 50ton/day pumping in dry season. First of all, the topography shape satisfying the numerous factors of a hydraulic model experiment is defined and an appropriate pumping efficiency is calculated through the model experiment of injection and pumping scenario. In next step, GIS(Geographic Information System) database are constructed by processing several geospatial data to explore the optimal site. In detail, watershed images are generated from DEM(Digital Elevation Model) with 5m cell size, which is set for the minimum area of the optimal site selection. Slope maps are made from DEM to determine the optimal hydraulic gradient to procure the proper aquifer undercurrent period. Finally, the suitable site for artificial recharge system is selected using an integration of overall data, such as an alluvial map, DEM, orthoimages, slope map, and watershed images.

  • Adsorption experiments for $H_2$, $CO_2$, CO, and their binary mixtures on zeolite 5A were performed by static volumetric method. Experimental data were obtained at temperatures of 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K and at pressures to 25 atm. The parameters obtained from single component adsorption isotherm. Multicomponent adsorption equilibria could be predicted and compared with experimental data. Langmuir isotherm, Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm and Dual-Site Langmuir isotherm be used to predict the experimental results for binary adsorption equilibria of $CO_2/CO$ and $H_2/CO_2$ on zeolite 5A. Dual-Site Langmuir isotherm showed the best agreement with the experimental results.

  • Most web caches save documents temporarily into themselves on the basis of those documents. And when a corresponding document exists within the cache on wei s request, web cache sends the document to corresponding user. On the contrary, when there is not any document within the cache, web cache requests a new document to the related server to copy the document into the cache and then rum it back to user. Here, web cache uses a replacement policy to change existing document into a new one due to exceeded capacity of cache. Typical replacement policy includes document-based LRU or LFU technique and other various replacement policies are used to replace the documents within cache effectively. However, these replacement policies function only with regard to the time and frequency of document request, not considering the popularity of each web site. Based on replacement policies with regard to documents on frequent requests and the popularity of each web site, this paper aims to present the document replacement policies with regard to the popularity of each web site, which are suitable for latest network environments to enhance the hit-ratio of cache and efficiently manage the contents of cache by effectively replacing documents on intermittent requests by new ones.

  • There have been vast amounts of the site investigation data from the domestic construction sites every year and various national research institutes are constructing the database for the site investigation data. According to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, the database for the site investigation has been constructed for covering 154,000 individual boreholes since the computerization project for the geotechnical information started at 2000. It is considered to be high time to evaluate the reliability of the stored DB so that the current DB should be utilized to the various fields related to the planning and site investigation of the construction activities. Therefore, the precision of the stored site investigation data was evaluated via normal distribution for more active sharing and utilization. As a preliminary evaluation of the precision, the locations of the encountered strata from two different sites were analyzed. After the precision of the stored data is determined, the level of reliability of the each category of the stored geotechnical information would be determined and the users would be able to decide which information could be utilized.

  • The performance of projects has always been an area of interest in the construction industry. Roles of all construction supply chain partners are necessary; however the role of a contractor firm in the construction project is pivotal. So, this research intended to explore a Construction Firm's performance criteria which could measure the level of performance of that firm in an ongoing project. Data was collected from construction professionals working in three principal project participant organizations, namely Owner, Consultant and Contractor. A total of 113 nos. of performance measuring items were sorted from literature review and used to collect data. Statistical tools processed by SPSS program was employed to analyze the data. Out of total 113 items, only 65 nos. of variables were found to be acceptable to every population group of this study. Factor analysis revealed 12 key performance predicting factors (KPPF) with 53 predictive indicators. 12 KPPFS with index weight are: work progress and smoothening (9.3%), change order management and work accuracy (9.1%), business relationship building (8.1%), adequacy of construction work procedure (8.6%), quality performance (8.0%), health and site safety adequacy (8.8%), Innovative contractor (8.0%), adequacy of construction site information (6.8%), compliance with contract plan/specification requirements (8.9%), creditworthiness and financial capability (8.3%), intra-agency relationship and responsiveness (7.0%) and resource management (9.2%). These results could be useful to project management body to evaluate performance of its contractor firm on site as well as the contractor itself to assess own performance and its subcontractors on-site.

  • Perovskite-type oxides were successfully prepared using malic acid method, characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, XPS, TEM and $H_2$-TPR and their catalytic activities for the combustion of benzene were determined. Almost of catalyst showed perovskite crystalline phase and 15-70 nm particle size. The $LaMnO_3$ catalysts showed the highest activity and the conversion reaches almost 100% at $350^{\circ}C$. The catalysts were modified to enhance the activity through substitution of metal into the A or B site of the perovskite oxides. In the $LaMnO_3$-type catalyst, the partial substitution of Sr into site the A-site enhanced the catalytic activity in the benzene combustion. In addition, the partial substitution of Co or Cu into site the B-site also enhanced the catalytic activity and the catalytic activity was in the order of Co > Cu > Fe in the $LaMn_{1-x}B_xO_3$ (B = Co, Fe, Cu) type catalyst.

  • There are several antenna calibration methods, so-called 3-Antenna Method, Standard Site Method, and Standard Antenna Method which measure the antenna gains or antenna factors. These methods yield the free space or quasi free space antenna gains in only the frequency domain. In this paper, an antenna calibration method using the time domain in the open area test site is discussed. The reflected waves due to the ground are traced in the time domain. After they are removed by the time gating function of network analyzer, the free space transmission coefficient $S_{21}$ is extracted. Such a way is applied to the broad band horn antenna ranging 1 GHz to 18 GHz, and the free space gains are obtained by Friis transmission equation. The method is checked by Standard Site Method in open area test site. The results show comparatively good agreement except for 18 GHz.

  • The Crlz1 gene is known to be expressed specifically in the pre-B cell stage during B-cell development. With regards to the specific expression of the pre-B cell stage of the Crlz1 gene, we have previously identified three pre-B cell-specific DNase I hypersensitive sites (HSS), which are named HSS8, 9, and 10, in the upstream vicinity of this gene. In this paper, we report that HSS8 increases further the strong Crlz1 promoter activity driven by HSS9/10 and, therefore, acts as its enhancer. Furthermore, HSS8 has been finely mapped between -1055 and -1159 from the transcription start site of the Crlz1 gene.

  • Many work-related risk factors can cause construction site hazards. Considering variable and changeable characteristics of construction site, risk of same trade can be different by combination of inherent characteristics. But established safety management has performed like other industries not reflecting characteristics of construction. So, to suggest risk assessment methodology considering risk influence factors in construction site, this study extracts risk influence factors by literature reviews and surveys, builds the weighting system for classification of factors. And risk of trade is calculated based on frequency and severity of risk. Risk assessment methodology is suggested by integrating risk influence factors and risk of trade. From this, risk considering the conditions of construction sites can be derived and based on the derived risk, safety management can be performed more effectively. This study has meaning for assessing the risk which can reflect characteristics of construction site considering risk influence factors.

  • In this study, the Tier 2 method recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used to predict the methane generation rate at two landfill sites, designated as Y and C for purposes of this study, in South Korea. Factors such as the average annual waste disposal, methane emissions ($L_0$) and methane gas generation rate constant (k) were estimated by analyses of waste and the historical data for the landfills. The value of k was estimated by field experiments and then the changes in the methane generation rate were predicted through the year 2050, based on the value of k. The Y landfill site, which was in operation until the year 2008, will generate a total of 17, 198.7 tons by the end of 2018, according to our estimations. At the C landfill site, which will not be closed until the end of 2011, the amount of methane gas generated in 2011 will be 3,316 tons and the total amount of gas generated by 2029 will be 61,200 tons. The total production rate of methane gas at the C landfill is higher than that of the Y landfill. This indicates that the capacity of a landfill site affects the production rate of methane gas. However, the interrelation between the generation rate of methane and the value of k is weak. In addition, the generation of methane gas does not cease even when the operations at a landfill site come to a close and the methane gas production rate is at its highest at end of the operating life of a landfill site.
