The purposes of this study were to find the general trends for the psychological well-being of Korean-Chinese Married Women(KCMW), to examine the differences according to related variables, and analyze the effective variables influencing their psychological well-being. The subjects were 337 KCMW over 20 years old living in China. The subjects completed a questionnaire and the data were analyzed using SPSS. The average scores of life satisfaction were higher and depression were lower than the median. Therefore the psychological well-being level of KCMW was higher than that of the median. The psychological well-being level of KCMW showed significant differences according to age, pattern of family and living condition. The life satisfaction of KCMW was influenced by living condition, family value orientations, ethnic identity, and the satisfaction of family relationship. The depression of KCMW was influenced by age, self-esteem, sex-role attitude, and the satisfaction of family relationship.

People spend most of their time inside buildings recently, so the indoor air quality is one of the most important factors to human health. Furthermore, minimum energy use with proper ventilation systems for pleasant indoor environment is necessary because of energy shortage over the world. The concern to maintain proper indoor air quality at home has been increased, and a proper indoor air quality is continuously requested by the residents. By measuring and analyzing the density fluctuation of $CO_2$ through indoor humidity and testing personal reactions regarding comfort condition, we can obtain a way to effective ventilation. Heat and carbon dioxide emissions from resident's metabolism and construction materials could be the causes of indoor air pollution. If these materials stay indoors for a long time, it could directly influence the resident's health condition with diseases. It also leads massive energy use. Therefore, the way to save energy and to have effective control of indoor ventilation is needed. This study presented the control method of bedroom ventilation by $CO_2$ concentration change and subjective evaluation.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects on reliability of equipment or product which spends a great deal of its time in the dormant condition. Many systems experienced periods of dormancy throughout their life cycle, such as periods of operational storage where the system waits, ready for use. The design of such systems must account for how these period of dormant effects system performance. The methodology for predict and analysis was developed to support the evaluation of dormant modes of operation of systems and subsystems. For proper handling of the dormant environment, issues relating to dormant failures need to be taken into consideration from design stage of the lifecycle. Furthermore, the relevant environmental concerns that need to be taken into consideration depend on the environmental factors associated with each different target environment. This paper will look at dormant reliability, the possible dormant reliability models and the methodology on life cycle reliability which has different dormant phase.

With an increase in the usage of LNG, there is a heightened interest about its safety aspects regarding the explosion of LNG carrier tank. The need for a cryogenic explosion-proof camera has increased. The camera has to work in cryogenic environment (below $-160^{\circ}C$) in LNG carrier. This study conducted design and heat transfer analysis of cryogenic camera to secure working time in limitation of heat source. The design with gap width of double pane windows was conducted based on simple vertical cavity model to insulate from cryogenic environment. The optimal gap width was 12.5 mm. For effective analysis considering convection within the camera, equivalent thermal conductivity method was adopted with ABAQUS. The working time of the camera predicted was over 10 h at warm-start condition. In cold-start condition, it required about 5 h of pre-warming time to work. The results of analysis were compared with the ones of the actual cryogenic test.

As a railway is receiving attention as an environment-friendly transportation mode, many high speed, inter-city and urban railway are constructed and remodeled in the world. With this trend, railway RAMS was included in the international standard IEC 62278 in 2002. RAMS activity in domestic market is also increased with this international trend. However, IEC 62278 does not describe the methodology of substantial contents like how reliability target is set although it can be used as an overall guideline when RAMS requirements are included in the purchase specification. That is because RAMS requirements should be set with the specific railway condition. It is required to fully understand the meaning of railway RAMS parameters and apply those correspond to the specific railway system and environment condition especially when a quantitative RAMS requirement is set. In this study, the meaning and characteristics of RAMS parameters applicable to the development of quantitative RAMS requirement of rolling stock is described. And the basic concept of RAMS and the definition of failure that IEC 62278 describes is modified and suggested in order to make more suitable to the development of quantitative RAMS requirement.

Major atmospheric stability classification methods were evaluated with meteorological data obtained by scoustic sounding profiler (SODAR/RASS) in Seoul. The Psequill classificatio method, the method most widely used because of its good agreement in respect of synoptic scope under the steady state, fails to describe the time lag, the response time on stability by heating or cooling caused by daily insolation or noctrunal surface radiation. Horizontal and vertical standard deviation of wind fluctuation $(\sigma_A and \sigma_E)$ method tend to classify night-time stable condition (E, F class) into unstable condition (A, B class). The classification matrix tables for Vogt's vertical temperature difference and wind speed using method ($\Delta$T $\cdot$ U) and bulk Richardson number (Rb) were amended for practical use over Seoul. The modified tables for $\Delta$T $\cdot$ U and Rb method were made by using comprehensive frequency distribution from Pasquill's method and other existing results, and the correlation coefficient(r) was equal to 0.829. It was confirmed that atmospheric stability could be changed with monitoring site characteristics, height and vertical difference between sensors of monitoring station, and classification method itself.

Yongsan ward is located at central place connecting south and north ecology axis of seoul. Various environment-friendly Yongsan development could pose positive effects on NPS(non pollutant source) pollutant reductions and water quality improvement at Han-rive because BOD, T-N, and T-P NPS discharges took 90% of total pollutant from this area. In this study, direct runoff and NPS pollutant loads were evaluated before and after development using spatio-tamporal change in CN(curve number) and EMC(event mean concentration) data. It was found that direct runoff value is $23,584,724m^3$, and BOD, T-N and T-P loads are 104,456 kg/year, 111,483 kg/year and 7,500 kg/year under pre-development condition, respectively. Annual runoff, BOD, T-N and T-P reducing rate were 12.9%, 33.3%, 35.6% and 40.7% under integrated post-development condition, respectively. Based on the results obtained in this study, environment-friendly urban development could be achieved at Yongsan area.

Korean-peacekeeper's transparent armors in Iraq showed delamination, cracking and clouding a decade ago. And there were also similar deterioration recurrences in KLTV during the operational test a few years ago. Also, the differences between operational capability & lab Bullet-proof test condition, and insufficiency of military protection spec resulted in incomplete bullet-proof results. Moreover, although so many ground weapon systems have been developed, there were not secure test & evaluation codes to verify transparent armoured glasses equal to advanced-overseas products. So in this study, first, environmental test codes were established that all tests should be carried out as the application of only one specimen with newly adopted thermal shock test instead of completing each test with different one. Second, protection standards were integrated through the analysis of global developed country's specifications and reinforced as adding to the real mock-up condition if vehicle's glasses are smaller than standard specimen. Hereby, by applying to test-codes which including actual operational & vehicular conditions, the gap between development test and operational environment was minimized.

Building has been deteriorated gradually owing to geographic, physical complex and other factors. School living condition has a key role to improve the learning ability, life attitude and qualifications to adopt to social life. Therefore, it is important for school environment to keep the living condition. Repair time and scope of school facilities are required to maintain the function and performance to plan the long term repair. But there are little information about the school maintenance such as repair time and function. In this paper, it aimed at providing the service life to suggest the repair time and scope in the roof-proofing and floor finishing which used the three estimation method in probabilistic approach. The service life has a key role to decide the repair time and to make the plan for the repair maintenance. Results of this study are as follows ; First, the 1st repair time were taken through three methods in probabilistic and deterministic functions to eliminate the estimation bias. Second, the service life is suggested 36 years of an elementary school, 34 years of a middle school and 41 years of a high school. Third, the service life of a floor finishing is 43 years of an elementary, 39 years of a middle school and 41 years of a high school. The above study could not include the detailed information about the materials and repair works. Therefore it needs a further study to reflect the detailed information and to make a repair strategy.
