Economic burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(WMDs) is increasing. Known causes of WMDs include improper posture, repetition, load, and temperature of workplace. Among them, improper postures play an important role. A smart sensor called SensorTag is employed to estimate the trunk postures including flexion-extension, lateral bend, and the trunk rotational speeds. Measuring gravitational acceleration vector in the smart sensor along the tri-orthogonal axes offers an orientation of the object with the smart sensor attached to. The smart sensor is light in weight and has small form factor, making it an ideal wearable sensor for body posture measurement. Measured data from the smart senor is wirelessly transferred for analysis to a smartphone which has enough computing power, data storage and internet-connectivity, removing need for additional hardware for data post-processing. Based on the estimated body postures, WMDs risks can be conviently gauged by using existing WMDs risk assesment methods such as OWAS, RULA, REBA, etc.

The purpose of this study is to examine the methods of estimation, comparing U.S. SCS method and $\Phi$-index with effective rainfall. And also comparision was made among SCS method, Chow method and Mockus method as to the peak discharge of design storm hydrograph by small river basin. Hydrological data of the Shin river basin which was used in this study and the results of study are as follow; 1) As a result of applying the SCS method to determine the effective rainfall out of total rainfall, it turned out that the everage CN of the basin as obtained by the analysis of hydrologic soil-cover complex was varied as follows; AMC-I was 27.9%, AMC-II 16.4%, AMC-III 8.1% less than the value given by SC method using discharge measurement. 2) The comparision of effective rainfall by the ungaged SCS method with that of gauged $\Phi$-index method showed that the $\Phi$-index method showed that the $\Phi$-index method gives large value by 4.7% to those given by hydrograph. The result of analysis by the SCS method resulted in great difference from discharge measurement. 3) The comparision of SCS method, Chow method, and Mockus method showed that dimensionless hydrograph of SCS method and Chow method were close to the peak discharge of the gauged unit hydrograph, while the other methods gave far different results. 4) Attempts were made, for a better adaptation to the Shin river basin, to introduce lag time formula constant of dimensionless hydrograph of the SCS method by using the peak discharge of the gauged flow hydrograph.

Sediment discharge by rainfall runoff affects water quality in rivers such as turbid water, eutrophication. In order to solve various problems caused by soil loss, it is important to establish a sediment management plan for watersheds and rivers in advance. However, there is a lack of sediment data available for estimating sediment discharge in ungauged basins.. Thus, reasonable research is very important to evaluate and predict the sediment discharge quantitatively. In this study, cluster analysis was conducted to classify gauged watersheds into hydrologically homogeneous groups based on the watershed characteristics. Also, this study suggests a method to efficiently predict the sediment discharge for ungauged basins by developing and evaluating the SDR equations based on the PA-SDR module. As the result, the SDR equations for the classified watersheds were derived to predict the most reasonable sediment discharge of ungauged basins with 0.24 % ~ 10.89 % errors. It was found that the optimal parameters for the gauged basins reflect well characteristic of sediment movement. SDR equations proposed in this study will be available for estimating sediment discharge on ungauged basins. Also it is possible to utilize establishing the appropriate sediment management plan for integrated management of watershed and river in Korea.

Return flow rate of irrigation water was estimated by water balance method. Daepyeong pumping district to irrigate 75.8 ha of rice paddy in the Geum river basin was selected to install gauging instruments to collect data such as weather, water levels, infiltration rate and evapotranspiration during irrigation season (May 27 to Sept. 20) in 2003 and 2004. Irrigation and drainage discharge were calculated from the rating curve and evapotranspiration was estimated both by the modified Penman formula and by the lysimeter. The results were as followed : 1. Total amounts of pumping water during irrigation season were $1,076,000\;m^3$ in 2003 and $1,848,000\;m^3$ in 2004. Total amounts of rainfall were 1336.0mm and 1003.0mm respectively during the irrigation season in 2003 and 2004. 2. It was surveyed that the amount of infiltration was 196.5 mm (2.2 mm/day). The gauged evapotranspiration was 311.0 mm (3.5 mm/day) and the calculated evapotranspiration was 346.0 mm (3.9 mm/day) during irrigation period in 2003. It was surveyed that the amount of infiltration was 169.9 mm (2.4 mm/day). The amount of gauged evapotranspiration was 377.3 mm (5.3 mm/day) and the calculated evapotranspiration was 454.5 mm (6.6 mm/day) during irrigation period in 2004. 3. The rates of quick and delayed return flow were 52.4 % and 17.7 % respectively, and so return flow rate was 70.1 % in 2003. The rates of quick and delayed return flow were 45.4 % and 16.1 % respectively, and so return flow rate was 61.5 % in 2004. It means that average return flow rate in the Daepyeong pumping district was assumed to be 65 %.

OFDM are digital modulation techniques where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other. With this technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. The performance of OFDM systems with various antenna structure are analyzed, where data is transmitted over multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this technique, gauged by the average bit error rate, is analyzed for the OFDM systems dependent upon the various antenna diversities.

We study the nonrelativistic limit of the Chern-Simons-Dirac system on ${\mathbb{R}}^{1+2}$. As the light speed c goes to infinity, we first prove that there exists an uniform existence interval [0, T] for the family of solutions ${\psi}^c$ corresponding to the initial data for the Dirac spinor ${\psi}_0^c$ which is bounded in $H^s$ for ${\frac{1}{2}}$ < s < 1. Next we show that if the initial data ${\psi}_0^c$ converges to a spinor with one of upper or lower component zero in $H^s$, then the Dirac spinor field converges, modulo a phase correction, to a solution of a linear $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ equation in C([0, T]; $H^{s^{\prime}}$) for s' < s.
