To provide variation of water supply for instream flow from reservoirs with various magnifications of paddy irrigation area to watershed area, 8 reservoirs were selected to draw operation rule curve and to analyze water supplies from reservoirs. Reliability of 90% for supplying irrigation water from reservoir was able to maintain and instream flow water was able to be supplied only in the reservoir with magnification of paddy irrigation area to watershed area above 3. The more magnification of paddy irrigation area to watershed area increased, the more ratio of irrigation water to total water storage decreased, and the more ratio of instream flow water to total water storage increased. From the heightening 113 reservoirs in Korea, annual irrigation water was estimated to 1,146.05 $Mm^3$ in normal operation, 839.57 $Mm^3$ in withdrawal limited operation, and annual instream flow water was estimated to 149.68 $Mm^3$ in normal operation, 283.19 $Mm^3$ in withdrawal limited operation. It was concluded that withdrawal limited operation was followed to have the premise of saving irrigation water, more instream flow water was able to be supplied from reservoirs with high magnification of paddy irrigation area to watershed area.

Until now, inflow has been handled an independent log-normal random variable in the problem of planning the long-term operation of a multi-reservoir hydrothermal electric power generation system. This paper introduces the detail study for making rule curve by applying weekly time interval for handling inflows. The hydro system model consists of a set of reservoirs and ponds. Thermal units are modeld by one equivalent thermal unit. Objective is minimizing the total cost that the summation of the fuel cost of equivalent thermal unit at each time interval. For optimization, stochastic dynamic programming(SDP) algorithm using successive approximations is used.

In this paper, we present a symbol remapping method of BRGC M-ary QAM signal by using LLR soft bit decision information which is obtained after iterative decoding process. In order to reconstruct estimated transmitted signal constellation, we have to use exponential or hyperbolic tangent(tanh) function resulting in high implementation complexity. The BRGC mapping rule enables us to use a recursive operation. In addtion, we reduce the implementing complexity by using a curve fitting algorithm.

In terms of saving costs, energy and materials, the weight of cars has been gradually reduced by optimizing design of structure, which also gives us good performance. In compliance with this, it should satisfy the lifetime of cars for 25 years under the operation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength of fatigue using date from strain gauges attached carbody and bogie frame. This dynamic stress can be evaluated using S-N curve based on stress amplitude. Modified S-N curve by CORTON-DOLAN is used for more conservative and substantial evaluation. In addition, !he loadings itself of carbody and bogie frame are considered by calculating the rate of the differences which are occurred between empty car and fuiiy occupied car with passengers. Rainflow cycle counting method is applied to arrange the stress data for the modified S-N curve to predict lifetime of the materials. Conclusively the cumulative damages are not only calculated by Miner's Rule, but the safety factors are also determined by Goodman diagram.

Water level of irrigation reservoir during the flood season could be kept to a certain level, so called, flood control level by releasing the flood inflow in advance in order to reduce the peak discharge of next coming flood and the damage of inundation. Concept of restriction intensity of water supply was introduced to evaluate the influence of flood control volume on the irrigation water supply. Restriction intensity can be calculated by multiplying the ratio of restriction to the days of restriction which are obtained from the operation rule curve and daily water level of irrigation reservoir and it has the dimension of % day. The method of restriction intensity was applied to the Yedang irrigation reservoir with the observed data of 30 years to review whether the present flood control volume is reasonable or not, and suggest the optimal flood control volume, if possible.

Traffic signal setting policies and traffic assignment procedures are mutually dependent. The combined signal control and traffic assignment problem deals with this interaction. With the total travel time minimization objective, gradient based local search methods are implemented. Deterministic user equilibrium is the selected user route choice rule, Webster's delay curve is the link performance function, and green time per cycle ratios are decision variables. Three implemented solution codes resulting in six variations include intersections operating under multiphase operation with overlapping traffic movements. For reference, the iterative approach is also coded and all codes are tested in four example networks at five demand levels. The results show the numerical gradient estimation procedure performs best although the simplified local searches show reducing the large network computational burden. Demand level as well as network size affects the relative performance of the local and iterative approaches. As demand level becomes higher, (1) in the small network, the local search tends to outperform the iterative search and (2) in the large network, vice versa.

For the determination of a reservoir capacity Rippl's mass-curve method has long been used with the past river flow data assuming the same flow records will be repeated in the future. This study aims to find out a better method for determining the reservoir capacity by employing the analytical theory based on the stochastic process. For the present study the synthetic generation methods of Thomas-Fiering type was used to synthetically generate 50 years of monthly river inflows to three single-purpose reservoirs and three multi-purpose reservoirs. The generated sequences of monthly flows were analyzed based on the range concept. With the optimum operation rule of the reservoirs as the one which maximizes the water-use downstream the waterrelease from the reservoir was determined and with due consideration to the mean inflows and the range of monthly flows the required reservoirs capacity was stochastically determined. It was possible to repersent the so-determined reservoir capacity in terms of the mean monthly inflows and the number of subseries in the determination of ranges. It is suggested that the result obtained in this study would be applied to approximately estimate, in the stage of preliminary design, the required capacity of a reservoir in question with the limited information such as the mean monthly inflow and the period of reservoir operation.

To assure the safety of rolling stock, it is important to perform the fatigue analysis of reduction gear unit in rolling stock considering a variation of velocity and traction motor capability. This paper presents fatigue analysis of the damage of reduction gear unit of railway vehicle under variable amplitude loading(VAL) based on quasi-static fatigue analysis using finite element model and linear Miner's rule. The VAL for the simulation was constructed from the tractive effort curve and train run curves of railway vehicle under commercial operation condition using MSC.ADAMS dynamic analysis. The finite element model for evaluating the carburizing effect on the gear surface was used for predicting the fatigue life of the middle gear based on strain-life based approach. The results showed that the frequent high starting torque due to a quick start as well as increasing numbers of stops at station would decrease the fatigue life of reduction gear unit.

가뭄강도와 지속기간을 고려하여 관개구역을 몇 개의 관개블록으로 나누어 순차적으로 제한하여 급수함으로써 관개용수를 절약하고 관개기간을 연장하여 가뭄을 극복하는 윤환관개모형 (RISS)을 제안한 바 있다. 이 RISS는 작물생육기별 관개저수지 저수율별 급수구역과 제한 급수율을 제시함으로써 가뭄기간에 저수지 운영자가 언제, 얼마나 제한하여 급수할 것인지 제시해주는 모형으로 전북 남원군 동화댐의 물 관리시스템 자동화 프로그램에 2004년 설치하여 운용되도록 하였다. 이 연구에서는 2004년부터 2009년까지 동화 댐 저수위 관측기록과 급수실적을 분석하여 RISS의 절수효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 그러나 실제로는 동화댐의 물 관리시스템 자동화 프로그램이 계획대로 운용되지 않고 있었다. 따라서 이 RISS의 절수효과와 효용성을 입증하여 계획대로 자동화시스템을 유용하게 활용하도록 하기 위해서 급수실적 및 저수위 관측기록과 RISS로 모의 발생한 저수위 결과를 비교 평가하였다. 모의발생 평가결과 가뭄이 극심했던 2007년에는 3.8백만 $m^3$을 절수하여 관개기간을 23일 연장하고 2009년에는 3.3백만 $m^3$을 절수하여 관개기간을 13일 연장하여 가뭄이 극심한 해에는 RISS 모형의 효용성이 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
