In the present work, the capacity ratings of steel truss bridges have been carried out incorporating dynamic effect of moving vehicles and its accumulating effect as fatigue. Further, corrosion in the steel members has been taken into account to examine the rating factor. Dynamic effect has been considered in the rating procedure making use of impact factors obtained from simulation studies as well as from codal guidelines. A steel truss bridge has been considered to illustrate the approach. Two levels of capacity ratings- the upper load level capacity rating (called operating rating) and the lower load level capacity rating (called inventory rating) were found out using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method and a proposal has been made which incorporates fatigue in the rating formula. Random nature of corrosion on the steel member has been taken into account in the rating by considering reduced member strength. Partial safety factor for each truss member has been obtained from the fatigue reliability index considering random variables on the fatigue parameters, traffic growth rate and accumulated number of stress cycle using appropriate probability density function. The bridge has been modeled using Finite Element software. Regressions of rating factor versus vehicle gross weight have been obtained. Results show that rating factor decreases when the impact factor other than those in the codal provisions are considered. The consideration of fatigue and member corrosion gives a lower value of rating factor compared to those when both the effects are ignored. In addition to this, the study reveals that rating factor decreases when the vehicle gross weight is increased.

Chemical management of annulus gas system is carried out for the purpose of ensuring the safety and reliability of the system via securing the integrity of the system, detecting the D$_2$O in-leakage of coolant and/or moderator, and reducing the radiation dose. Since the quality of CO_2$ gas, which is used as a filling gas for annulus gas system at CANDU plants, has a propound effect on the integrity of the system material and the radiation dose, CO_2$ gas of high quality is needed. If the quality of CO_2$ gas does not meet the specification, it may give rise to undesirable effect not only on the annulus gas system, but also on the environment due to the production of radioactive nuclei. Therefore, it is very important to check the impurities of CO_2$ gas. Based on this background, the inventories of C-14 and Ar-41 in CO_2$ gas that is supplied as annulus gas were estimated using the data on concentrations of the impurities of $CO_2$ such as C, N_2$ and Ar. The results of this study is expect to give useful information on optimization of CO_2$ impurities maintenance and management of gaseous radioactive wastes produced at CANDU plants.

This paper discusses some of the results of investigation of railroad-highway grade crossing accidents and accident-related inventory information that was collected from the Pusan District Office of the Korean National Railroads. Established statistical techniques were applied to tabulated data to obtain an accident prediction equation that estimates the expected probability of accidents at each crossing under various grade crossing situations. It was found that the most significant factor that influences the railroad crossing accidents was flagger. The other factors were train and traffic volumes, number of tracks. crossing angle, maximum timetable train speed, algebraic grade difference, and lighting facility. No significant effects was identified with railroad crossing gates. The results of the analysis and the uses of the prediction equation for the development of warrants for safety improvements are also discussed.

During the last ten years, the need has been increased for reducing maintenance cost for aged equipments and ensuring safety, efficiency and profitability of petrochemical and refinery plants. RBI (Risk Based Inspection) methodology is one of the most promising technologies satisfying the need in the field of integrity management. In this study, a user-friendly software, realRBI for RBI based on the API 581 code was developed and a quantitative analysis was performed for over 500 equipments in a domestic plant whose operating time reaches about 13 years. Current risks for each equipment parts were evaluated and risk based prioritization were determined as a conclusion.

최근 IMO에서는 온실가스 배출을 규제화 하고자 하는 동향이 있으며 조만간 선박에서 온실가스 배출의 규제가 실현될 것으로 예상된다. 선박에서 배출되는 온실가스는 CO$_2$가 대부분을 차지하고 있으며 세계경제상황에 따른 영향이 고려되지만 지속적으로 증가추세에 있는 CO$_2$를 감소시키기 위한 아국의 대처방안이 필요한 시점이다. 또한 향후 발효될 EEDI를 소개하고 결과적으로 GHG를 저감시키기 위한 방안인 선형개선, 폐열회수시스템, 친환경연료사용기관, SEMP 등에 관한 내용을 다루어 보았다. 이 보고서에서는 GHG를 비롯한 NOx, SOx 및 PM과 같은 유해배출물질을 Top Down방식으로 평가함으로써 선박에서 기인하는 대기오염물질 관련 국내정책 및 해운산업의 장기적인 발전전략에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대한다.

Mobile service, which is related to all stages of supply chain, can enhance the efficiency of perception and response of the participants. The advantage of mobile service is ubiquity, speed, traceability, positioning, personalization and safety. The purpose of this paper is to propose an overall framework utilizing mobile service in SCM. In the areas of inventory management, remote diagnostics, communications with field workers, and order fulfillment, customer-centric mobile supply web is proposed and implemented for the wireless warehousing and replenishment system.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safely of Hwangryunhaedok-tang Pharmacopuncture (HHT-PA) therapy on post-stroke depression (PSD) in stroke patients. Methods : Fifteen PSD patients has been recruited and evaluated with liver function test (LFT) and renal function lest (RFT) and depression scales, Beck Depress ion Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) before and after HHT-PA treatment. Results : HAM-D score significantly decreased after HHT-PA treatment regard less of improving of motor function. But BDI score did not decrease significantly. All results of LFT and RFT were in normal range before and after HHT-PA treatment Conclusion : These results showed that HHT-PA decrease PSD symptoms and has safety on stroke patients, although has no effect on improving of motor impairment.

This study was carried out to estimate carbon footprint and to establish of LCA of garlic production system. We have case study in cultivate garlic 1 kg calculate in carbon footprint. LCA carried out to estimate carbon footprint and to establish of LCI (life cycle inventory) database of garlic production system. The data is from Research of Farmer's income in 2010 (RDA, 2011), and used Pass (5.0.0) program. The value of fertilizer, amount of pesticide input were shown the environmental effect and direct emission. Carbon footprint in agriculture guarantees the choice right the consumer to choose the lower carbon goods. Its can make to strengthen of agriculture and food industry's reduction effort of $CO_2$. Nowadays consumer requests food's safety and environment friendly process. Carbon footprint also needs consumer's relief and incentives.

This thesis is to introduce development process and application for domestic production of Automation System for High Density and Perpendicular Storage used in the industrial field. Most of the traditional Automation Systems for High Density and Perpendicular Storage are imported and using in the industrial field. As a result of this condition, foreign competitive power is decreased cause increasing of production cost. In spite of economical burden to protect a loss with management in the case of the industrial field dealing with various products, imported Automation System for High Density and Perpendicular Storage is used. On this developed Automation System for High Density and Perpendicular Storage solved these problems. Developed system uses managing computer, it is easy to manipulate input and output of production and inventory management. Moreover, Developed system accomplished shortened driving time and mechanical safety.
