In accordance with the revision of the US-Korea missile guidelines, restrictions on the use of solid propellants for space launch vehicles have been completely lifted. The solid propellant can be used as a solid propellant rocket like the KSR-1 (Korea Sounding Rocket-1), and can also be used as a thrust augmentation booster for liquid fuel launch vehicles. It is known that solid propellants have a lower risk of explosion than liquid propellants. but if an accident such as an explosion at the Alcantara Launch Center in Brazil occurs, it can lead to a large-scale personal accident. In order to prevent such large-scale accidents, it is necessary to review and reflect the minimum safety distance during use, storage and combustion test of solid propellants from the planning phase of the project. In this paper, the minimum safety distance for safe use of the solid propellant is presented by dividing it into storage facilities and combustion tests.

Recently, because the wet pool storage facilities of NPPs in Korea has become saturated, there has been much active R&D on an interim dry storage system using a transportation and storage cask. Generally, the shielding evaluation for the design of a spent fuel transportation and storage cask is performed by the design basis fuel, which selects the most conservative fuel among the fuels to be loaded into the cask. However, the loading of actual spent fuel into the transportation metal cask is not limited to the design basis fuel used in the shielding evaluation; the loading feasibility of actual spent fuel is determined by the shielding evaluation that considers the characteristics of the initial enrichment, the maximum burnup and the minimum cooling period. This study describes a shielding analysis method for determining the minimum cooling period of spent fuel that meets the domestic transportation standard of the dual purpose metal cask. In particular, the spent fuel of 3.0~4.5wt% initial enrichment, which has a large amount of release, was evaluated by segmented shielding calculations for efficient improvement of the results. The shielding evaluation revealed that about 81% of generated spent fuel from the domestic nuclear power plants until 2008 could be transported by the dual purpose metal cask. The results of this study will be helpful in establishing a technical basis for developing operating procedures for transportation of the dual purpose metal cask.

The effect of long-term storage on garlic antibacterial activity was investigated. A concentration of 5% or more garlic was found to be necessary to completely inhibit Eschrichia coli growth in tryptic soy broth. This value is substantially higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration of 1% for E. coli reported previously. pH-modified garlic extract was stored at different temperatures to investigate the impact of storage conditions (i.e., temperature, pH, period of storage) on the stability of the antibacterial activity of the garlic extract used against E. coli B34. The antibacterial effectiveness of the garlic extract against E. coli remained stable when both the storage temperature and the pH of the extract were kept low. When the garlic extract was stored at $40^{\circ}C and above, most or all of the garlic antibacterial activity disappeared after a 24-h storage period, regardless of the storage pH. The antibacterial activity was weakened when the pH of the garlic extract was adjusted to 8, and at low temperatures.

In this research, optimum design of the combined solar collector, geothermal heat pump and thermal seasonal storage system for heating and cooling a sample greenhouse is studied. In order to optimize the system from technical point of view some new control strategies and functions resulting from important TRNSYS output diagrams are presented. Temperatures of ground, rock bed storage, outlet ground heat exchanger fluid and entering fluid to the evaporator specify our strategies. Optimal heat storage is done with maximum efficiency and minimum loss. Mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs of 4.92 and 7.14 are achieved in series mode as there is no need to start the heat pump sometimes. Furthermore, optimal parallel operation of the storage and the heat pump is studied by applying the same control strategies. Although the aforementioned system has higher mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs (4.96 and 7.18 respectively) and lower initial cost, it requires higher amounts of auxiliary energy either. Soil temperature around ground heat exchanger will also increase up to $1.5^{\circ}C$ after 2 years of operation as a result of seasonal storage. At the end, the optimum combined system is chosen by trade-off between technical and economic issues.

In this paper, minimum mean-squared-error(MMSE) and blind equalization schemes were employed to improve bit-error-rate(BER) and to reduce inter-symbol interference(ISI) generated during storage and retrieval processes of two-dimensional data in a digital holographic data storage system. We explained methods for designing and applying MMSE and blind equalization to improve BER in a digital holographic data storage system. From experimental evaluations, we compared the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization and we showed that the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization were improved significantly compared with those before equalization.

Korean living culture raised the users' needs for sub-kitchen. In the traditional Korean house, there was large space related to kitchen area for preparing food and stock big and bulky housing stuffs. As apartment housing became dominant as Korean dwelling, sub-kitchen has been planed in the balcony that is not included in the sales area. In this study, the case of the apartment housing in Esiapolis, Daegu was analyzed. To plan the user-oriented sub-kitchen, the consumer research was carried out. Consumers needed a pantry, more storage near the kitchen, and wanted to place washing machine and washing stand in a sub-kitchen. Sub-kitchens were planed to meet those consumers' needs. Through this case study and former studies analysis, sub-kitchen's function unit was derived: wash, storage, auxiliary work. By combining each function unit, sub-kitchen was classified into 3 types, wash & auxiliary work, wash & storage, and wash & storage & auxiliary work. For each sub-kitchen type, components of function units, available layouts, and minimum size were recommended.

This paper presents a modelling of thermal discharge performance for a static ice-on-coil ice-storage tank. Through the present study, discharging characteristics were examined with the existing results of theoretical and numerical heat transfer analyses. Also, an experiment was conducted to obtain a real set of discharge performance. The thermal effectiveness, the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate to the maximum possible heat transfer rate, decreased when the stored energy decreased during discharging period. And the effectiveness increased as the coolant flow rate through the storage increased, of which increasing rate decreased abruptly near the maximum and the minimum stored energy. An empirical correlation was obtained from the experimental and the numerical analysis data.

Solar cell which transforms the light energy into the electric energy from Sun comes into prominence as a new energy for next generation. However, it is difficult to obtain the stable output voltage and current from the solar cell due to the uncertainty in weather conditions, etc, In the present paper, two types of control laws are considered for regulating the input voltage in a photovoltaic energy storage system such as the system with the super conducting magnetic energy storage. (1) Oone is the design of optimal controller. (2) The other is that of weighted minimum prediction error controllers (weighted one-step ahead controllers). Simulation study for the above controllers is performed to see how they work and to get preliminary knowledge in the regulation of the input voltage to the experimental photovoltaic energy storage system.

Presented is the study on design and implementation of a fuzzy system to approximately reason using measured actual storage rate in irrigation reservoirs. To design Fuzzy reasoning systems. Minimum Operation Rule by Mamdani was applied. Fuzzy variable and membership functions are determined after identifying storage-rate affecting factor and followed simulation. Hydrological model to express actual situation within drought areal boundary is generally too complex. Hereby, considering irregularity of time-rate storage change during irrigation, this system uses irrigation water and meteorological data as a IN-data. It was abvious the results were closely corresponding to the actual data observed.
