The existing R-peak detection research suggests improving the distortion of the signal such as baseline variations in ECG signals by using preprocessing techniques such as a bandpass filtering. However, preprocessing can introduce another distortion, as it can generate a false detection in the R-wave detection. In this paper, we propose an R-peak detection algorithm in ECG signal, based on primitive signal in order to detect reliably an R-peak in baseline variation. First, the proposed algorithm decides the primitive signal to represent the QRS complex in ECG signal, and by scaling the time axis and voltage axis, extracts multiple primitive signals. Second, the algorithm detects the candidates of the R-peak using the value of the voltage. Third, the algorithm measures the similarity between multiple primitive signals and the R-peak candidates. Finally, the algorithm detects the R-peak using the mean and the standard deviation of similarity. Throughout the experiment, we confirmed that the algorithm detected reliably a QRS group similar to multiple primitive signals. Specifically, the algorithm can achieve an R-peak detection rate greater than an average rate of 99.9%, based on eight records of MIT-BIH ADB used in this experiment.

Alterations in serum enzymes were studied in twenty-five patients who underwent open heart surgery in N.M.C. during the period from June 1979, to Feb. 1980. There were fifteen congenital and ten acquired heart diseases. In all patients, Rygg-Kyvsgaard five head roller pump and Polystan bubble oxygenator were used and serial determination of total level of Creatine phosphokinase [CPK], Lactic dehydrogenase [LDH], Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT] were made preoperatively, operation day [just after aortic clamp release, 2 hrs later, 4 hrs later, 6 hrs later], and postoperative days up to 5th day. Immediate postoperative clinical courses were also evaluated. Twenty-five patients were divided into two groups: Group A[13] was cardiopulmonary bypass time more than 95 minutes and aortic clamp time more than 45 minutes. Group B[12] was cardiopulmonary bypass time less than 95 minutes and aortic clamp time less than 45 minutes. The peak levels of SGOT, LDH in Group A were more significantly elevated than Group B [P<0.05]. But peak levels of CPK were not significant between two groups. In the view of clinical evaluation, poor clinical courses were more frequent in Group A [54%] than Group B[8%].

Peeled chestnuts were stored at different temperatures($-10^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$) and after blanching at $90^{\circ}C$ for different lengths of time(0, 10, and 20 min) for 6 months. After the storage period, the texture, color, DSC and sensory characteristics were analyzed. Hardness, fracturability and chewiness increased with storage time, whereas springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Additionally, the L* decreased and a* and b* increased with storage time. Analysis of the DSC revealed that the peak of the retro gradation was approximately $46{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and enthalpy for the peak increased with storage time. Additionally, the increment of enthalpy for samples stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ and blanched was lower than that of samples stored at $-10^{\circ}C$ and non-blanched samples. The sensory evaluation scores were also higher for samples stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ and blanched samples than for those stored at $10^{\circ}C$ and non-blanched samples.

In this study investigated that topographical parametersestimate and calculated travel time, storage coefficient and lag time by watershed dividing 11, 8, 6 and 2. The results showed the more divide watershed, the more increase peak discharges. The results showed that Kraven-Clark-Kraven case is good simulated by compared observed data with calculated data. The sub-basin number are adequate $6{\sim}11$ for wichun and travel times compare observed data with calculated data at the younggok, to take about $18{\sim}20hr$ by simulated results but observed data shorter $8{\sim}10hr$. From this study results showed that it could be make narrow parameter estimate for observed hydrograph simulation, if more observed velocity and hydrograph. Also, as results of this study that is help to estimate parameters (arrival time, storage coefficient and lag time for Clark model.

Accuracy of flood forecasting is an important non-structural measure on the flood control and mitigation. Hence, combination of horologic model with real time error correction became an important issue. It is one of the efficient ways to improve the forecasting precision. In this work, an approach based on Kalman Filter (KF) is proposed to continuously revise state estimates to promote the accuracy of flood forecasting results. The case study refers to the Wi River in Korea, with the flood forecasting results of Xinanjiang model. Compared to the results, the corrected results based on the Kalman filter are more accurate. It proved that this method can take good effect on hydrologic forecasting of Wi River, Korea, although there are also flood peak discharge and flood reach time biases. The average determined coefficient and the peak discharge are quite improved, with the determined coefficient exceeding 0.95 for every year.

The aim of tins study is to compare the travel time of urban railway with that of arterial roads in the Seoul metropolitan area, focusing on the five main railways and arterials - Ilsan, Bundang, Kwacheon, Kyoungwon, and Kyoungin in order to make suggestions about improvements of railways. We found that the travel times of railways and arterials are about one and a half hour and an hour respectively, also the ratio of railway travel time to arterial travel time is 1.34 at peak and 1.58 at off-peak. We conclude that the competitiveness of the railroads is lower than the arterials. It will be necessary that we research the ways to improve the service of railways and investment ranking among the five main railways.

Weather radar has been widely used in measuring precipitation and discharge and predicting flood risks. The radar rainfall estimate has one of the essential problems in terms of uncertainty and accuracy. Previous study analyzed radar errors to reduce its uncertainty or to improve its accuracy. Furthermore, a recent analyzed the effect of radar error on rainfall-runoff using spatial error model (SEM). SEM appropriately reproduced radar error including spatial correlation. Since the SEM does not take the time dependence into account, its time variability was not properly investigated. Therefore, in the current study, we extend the SEM including time dependence as well as spatial dependence, named after Spatial-Temporal Error Model (STEM). Radar rainfall events generated with STEM were tested so that the peak runoff from the response of a basin could be investigated according to dependent error. The Nam River basin, South Korea, was employed to illustrate the effects of STEM on runoff peak flow.

In industrial facilities sites, the conventional method determining the earthquake magnitude (M) using earthquake ground-motion records is generally not applicable due to the poor quality of data. Therefore, a new methodology is proposed for determining the earthquake magnitude in real-time based on the amplitude measures of the ground-motion acceleration mostly from S-wave packets with the higher signal-to-ratios, given the Vs30 of the site. The amplitude measures include the bracketed cumulative parameters and peak ground acceleration (As). The cumulative parameter is either CAV (Cumulative Absolute Velocity) with 100 SPS (sampling per second) or BSPGA (Bracketed Summation of the PGAs) with 1 SPS. The arithmetic equations to determine the earthquake magnitude are derived from the CAV(BSPGA)-As-M relations. For the application to broad ranges of earthquake magnitude and distance, the multiple relations of CAV(BSPGA)-As-M are derived based on worldwide earthquake records and successfully used to determine the earthquake magnitude with a standard deviation of ${\pm}0.6M$.

Integrated storage function model (ISFM) is applied to some rainfall-runoff events of the selected basins in Korea to show validity of the proposed model. Comparing the numerical results of the model with the field measurements, the simulated hydrographs and peak flood discharges for the most part showed good agreements, except the occurrence time of the peak discharges which showed a bit discrepancy, and they showed it was very hard to have a sufficient lead-time to forecast the flood when the upstream inflow of the channel reach was more dominant than the inflow from the residual watershed of the channel.hannel.
