Ground motion models predicting intensity measures on surface use a time-averaged shear wave velocity, V_S30, as a key variable simulating site effect. The V_S30 can be directly estimated from V_S profiles if the profile depth (z) is greater than or equal to 30 m. However, some sites have V_S profiles with z < 30 m. In this case V_S30 can be predicted using extension models. This study proposes new coefficient sets for existing prediction equations using 297 Korea V_S profiles. We have collected V_S profiles from KMA and Geoinfo database. Fitting six existing methods to data, we suggest new coefficients for each method and evaluate their performance. It turns out that if z ≥ 15 m, the standard deviation (σ) of residual in log₁₀ is 0.061, which indicates that the estimated V_S30 is nearly accurate. If z < 15 m, the σ keeps increasing up to 0.1 for z = 5 m, so we caution the use of models at very low z. Nonetheless, we recommend investigating up to 30 m depth for V_S30 calculation if possible.

Direct bonded SOI wafer pairs with $Si ll SiO_2/Si_3N_4 ll Si$ the heterogeneous insulating layers of SiO$_2$-Si$_3$N$_4$are able to apply to the micropumps and MEMS applications. Direct bonding should be executed at low temperature to avoid the warpage of the wafer pairs and inter-diffusion of materials at the interface. 10 cm diameter 2000 ${\AA}-SiO_2/Si(100}$ and 560 $\AA$- ${\AA}-Si_3N_4/Si(100}$ wafers were prepared, and wet cleaned to activate the surface as hydrophilic and hydrophobic states, respectively. Cleaned wafers were pre- mated with facing the mirror planes by a specially designed aligner in class-100 clean room immediately. We employed a heat treatment equipment so called fast linear annealing(FLA) with a halogen lamp to enhance the bonding of pre mated wafers We kept the scan velocity of 0.08 mm/sec, which implied bonding process time of 125 sec/wafer pairs, by varying the heat input at the range of 320~550 W. We measured the bonding area by using the infrared camera and the bonding strength by the razor blade clack opening method, respective1y. It was confirmed that the bonding area was between 80% and to 95% as FLA heat input increased. The bonding strength became the equal of $1000^{\circ}C$ heat treated $Si ll SiO_2/Si_3N_4 ll Si$ pair by an electric furnace. Bonding strength increased to 2500 mJ/$\textrm{m}^2$as heat input increased, which is identical value of annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$-2 hr with an electric furnace. Our results implies that we obtained the enough bonding strength using the FLA, in less process time of 125 seconds and at lowed annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, comparing with the conventional electric furnace annealing.

Oak mushroom(Lentinus edoes(Berk) Sing) is one of the most important edible mushrooms, and its production has been rapidly increased due to nutritional and medicinal effects. In this study, climatic factors during the growing period of high-quality oak mushroom were analyzed and environmental factors affecting the quality of oak mushroom were discussed. Three places(Changheung, Puyo and Wonj) as mass producing areas of high-quality oak mushrooms and the 15 days of the growing period in 1997-1998 were selected. Major climatic factors for analysis were average air temperature, average relative humidity, ranges of daily air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. During the period, th daily average air temperature was $7~20^{\circ}C$ with the diurnal air temperature($7~20^{\circ}C$) and nocturnal air temperature($0~-2^{\circ}C$). The relative humidity ranged between 50 and 70% with the range of daily relative humidity(40~60%). Wind velocity was 1~4m.$s^{-1}$, From the results, it is concluded that the growing environmental conditions for high-quality oak mushroom differed from the optimum conditions for the high productivity of oak mushroom; environmental conditions such as wide ranges of air temperature and relative humidity, low humidity and wind speed might affect the emergence of high-quality oak mushroom.

In this study, simulation work of HCNG refueling system was performed. The hydrogen was produced from steam reforming process by natural gas. The conversion of natural gas is increased as SCR is increased. but it was no significant difference more than 3 of SCR and fuel throughput is increased as GHSV is increased. Both conversion and fuel throughput levels was optimized when the $1700h^{-1}$ of GHSV. CNG was compressed from low pressure natural gas. For the mixing of $H_2$ and CNG is mixed with the high pressure conditions such as 400bar of $H_2$ and 250bar of natural gas. Single-stage compression was required more power than multi stage. So, multi stage compression was suggested for high pressure compression. We calculated the intermediate pressure to minimize total required power of compressors. The intermediate pressure for $H_2$ and natural gas were derived at 61 and 65 bar, respectively.

This study was focused on the investigation of filtration characteristics of membrane-coupled fermentor system for dissolved organics recovery from liquid organic sludge. On the filterability of MF over the range of $0.1{\sim}5 {\mu}m,$ the magnitude of total membrane resistance ($R_t$) is ranged as follows in the order; $0.1 {\mu}m>0.2{\mu}m>0.5 >1{\mu}m>2{\mu}m>5{\mu}m$. The cake layer resistance ($R_c$) occupied about 68~88% of total resistance with fermented sludge. Permeation flux decline was mainly attributed to the $R_c$, which was formed by a strong deposition from physico-chemical interactions of solids on membrane surface. Higher suspended solids (SS) concentration of suspension caused lower permeation flux. However, there was not a proportion relation beyond a certain SS concentration. The cross-flow velocity on the membrane surface was faster, which resulted in the higher permeation flux and also more efficient with low trans membrane pressure (TMP) in viewpoint of energy efficiency. The appropriate pH of suspension was over the range of 5.0~6.0 for dissolved organics recovery as well as the permeation flux. It is possible f3r bacteria to be separated perfectly with $0.1{\mu}m\; and \;0.2{\mu}m$ membrane pore size. Based on experimental results, most appropriate membrane pore size for the recovery is believed to around $1{\mu}m$.

The distribution of water mass in Deukryang Bay was investigated using observational data obtained on July 12 (spring tide) and 19 (neap tide) in 1994. In characteristics of water mass at the bay the area is divided into three ones by a vertical attenuation coefficient k and a stratification parameter, log sub (10) (H/U super (3)), was H is depth, and U mean velocity in the bay. The contour of k=0.6 has a similar distribution to the isobath of 10m depth in spring tide, and of 5m depth in neap tide, respectively. This indicates that the water mass in the area between the isobath of 5m and 10m depth is changed by tidal periods. The stratification parameter corresponding to k=0.6 was 2.1~2.2. In the shallow water of 5m depth the characteristics of water mass was distributed in temperature of 25.5~31.$0^{\circ}C$ and salinity of 32.8~33.8PSU(Practical Salinity Unit), the temperature was high and the salinity distributed widely. In the deep water of 10m depth it was the temperature of 22.0~29.5$^{\circ}C$ and the salinity of 33.0~33.6PSU, the temperature was low and the salinity distributed narrowly. In the middle depth water of 5m to 10m depth, the temperature of 22.0~30.$0^{\circ}C$ and the salinity of 32.8~33.5PSU, its values showed the middle between the values of the deep area and the values of the shallow area.

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the deterioration degree of jointed concrete pavement which was major concrete pavement type in Korea. First of all, visual survey of concrete pavement was performed to observe deterioration types. In the result of visual survey, the majority of concrete pavement deterioration was investigated in joint area. It is appeared that most of the distresses are durability cracking and joint distress. Second, concrete core specimens were taken from eight locations including good section (4 locations) and bad section (4 locations) based on visual survey. The deterioration reasons of concrete pavement were analyzed with ultrasonic pulse velocity test, splitting tensile strength test, and image analysis for concrete core specimens. Among the image analysis test result for 21 concrete core specimens, only two specimens satisfied the Kansas DOT criteria of spacing factor, $250\;{\mu}m$, and the remains of 19 specimens were estimated to be above $250\;{\mu}m$. The durability factor of concrete was estimated very low. As a result, it was analyzed that the main deterioration reason of the deteriorated jointed concrete pavement was to be freezing and thawing damages.

The spread rate of forest fire was analyzed on Samcheok forest fire that broke out on April 7, 2000 in Kunduck-Myun, Samcheok-City, Kangwon-Province and lasted for about 9 days. The spatial database including topography, overstory species distribution, micro-climate, daily fire front lines for the area was built using GIS and the daily spread pattern was investigated to determine a multiple regression equation to estimate forest fire spread rate. The results of the investigation showed that, on the first day, the forest fire spreaded out extremely fast up to 12.3m/min at about 10 a.m. until noon. After that, the forest fire spread rate fluctuated and slowed down as low as below 1m/min and quenched on April 15. The daily area-based spread rate along the fire spread line got to the peak of about 5,700ha on April 11, of which spread rates were recorded as 2.84m/min in the first half and 1.10m/min in the second half. Also, it was found that slope aspect, wind velocity and % area distribution of Pinus densiflora are the major factors affecting the spread rate of forest fire in this area.

Duck industry had a rapid growth in recent years. Nevertheless, researches to improve duck house environment are still not sufficient enough. Moisture generation of duck house litter is an important factor because it may cause severe illness and low productivity. However, the measuring process is difficult because it could be disturbed with animal excrements and other factors. Therefore, it has to be calculated according to the environmental data around the duck house litter. To cut through all these procedures, we built several machine learning regression model forecasting moisture generation of litter by measured environment data (air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and water contents). 5 models (Multi Linear Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Regression, Random Forest and Deep Neural Network). have been selected for regression. By using R-Square, RMSE and MAE as evaluation metrics, the best accurate model was estimated according to the variables for each machine learning model. In addition, to address the small amount of data acquired through lab experiments, bootstrapping method, a technique utilized in statistics, was used. As a result, the most accurate model selected was Random Forest, with parameters of n-estimator 200 by bootstrapping the original data nine times.
