The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between physical stream characteristics and bed materials in natural rivers. Accordingly, four natural rivers were selected reference streams, they were Nam river, Sumjin River, Naesung River and Han River. Grain size distributions of bed materials were gravels, cobbles and boulders in Han river and Nam river, were sand, gravels, cobbles and boulders in Sumjin river and were sand in Naesung river. Four reference streams were divided into each two reference reaches (straight and bend) by plan and profile characteristics of naturally meandering stream. Therefore various reference reaches were chosen in the aspect of physical stream characteristics and grain size distributions. The results investigated and analyzed are as follows. The streams that grain sizes distributions of river bed materials were coarse were stable because they had variety of bed slope without sediment deposition, and then the riffles frequency and the physical characteristics were various. Also, velocitydepth regime were various in four kinds, and the response parts for water level change were small, so that channel flow status were stable and excellent condition. On the other hand, sand river that grain sizes distributions of river bed materials were fine had not the variety of parameters as velocity-depth regimes, sediment deposition, channel flow status and riffles frequency, so that the physical stream characteristics were not various.

As the deep sub-micron devices are recently integrated high package density, novel process method for sub $0.1{\mu}m$ devices is required to get the superior thin gate oxide characteristics and reliability. However, few have reported on the electrical quality and reliability on the thin gate oxide. In this paper I will recommand a novel shallow trench isolation structure for thin gate oxide $30{\AA}$ of deep sub-micron devices. Different from using normal LOCOS technology, novel shallow trench isolation have a unique 'inverse narrow channel effects' when the channel width of the devices is scaled down shallow trench isolation has less encroachment into the active device area. Based on the research, I could confirm the successful fabrication of shallow trench isolation(STI) structure by the SEM, in addition to thermally stable silicide process was achiever. I also obtained the decrease threshold voltage value of the channel edge and the contact resistance of $13.2[\Omega/cont.]$ at $0.3{\times}0.3{\mu}m^2$. The reliability was measured from dielectric breakdown time, shallow trench isolation structure had tile stable value of $25[%]{\sim}90[%]$ more than 55[sec].

In this study, the method of Cheema et al., which is used to decide stable width and depth of the small alluvial rivers, is improved to consider the stability of mass failure and shear failure of the bank effectively. This improved method is applied to the actual rivers, and this result is compared with the result of the method of Cheema et at.. While the method of Cheema et al. could be applied to the alluvial rivers with channel width below 50m, this improved method shows good results in estimating stable width and depth up to 200m. Therefore, this improved method can be suggested as an effective technique in the profile design of small alluvial rivers.

River is able to change by various environmental factors. In order to conduct river restoration design, it is necessary to evaluate the stable channel through the analysis of past and present river channels. River evaluation requires various data, such as geometry, hydraulic and hydrology, but there is a lot of difficulty to understand topographical information of river change on time and space due to a lack of past data by domestic conditions. This study was analyzed abandoned channel formation, changes in the vertical-section and cross-section length of rivers, and micro-landform changes etc using an image analysis technique. Purpose of this research is to evaluates the stable channel through a river channel morphology change from past and present river channels image. Mangyoung river was conducted artificial river maintenance through straight channel consolidation form 1920 to 1930 year. In the result river maintenance, mangyoung river length was decreased by 15 km and abandoned channels of six points were made. Since then, weir was continuously increased to control bed slope and use water. Install of weir was to be the reason of changes on channel width, thalweg, vegetated bar, sand bar, water area. Present Mangyoung river show that water area was temporary increased in upper and middle reach because of weir installation. Total sand bar was only decreased in upper channel. The change of vegetated bar and sand bar was slight recently. In this result, Mangyoung river is inferred to reach stabilized channel although there is some difference to the lower reach.

The Dengue virus M protein is a 75 amino acid polypeptide with two helical transmembranes (TM). The TM domain oligomerizes to form an ion channel, facilitating viral release from the host cells. The M protein has a critical role in the virus entry and life cycle, making it a potent drug target. The oligomerization of the monomeric protein was studied using ab initio modeling and molecular dynamics simulation in an implicit membrane environment. The representative structures obtained showed pentamer as the most stable oligomeric state, resembling an ion channel. Glutamic acid, threonine, serine, tryptophan, alanine, isoleucine form the pore-lining residues of the pentameric channel, conferring an overall negative charge to the channel with approximate length of 51.9 Å. Residue interaction analysis for M protein shows that Ala94, Leu95, Ser112, Glu124, and Phe155 are the central hub residues representing the physicochemical interactions between domains. The virtual screening with 165 different ion channel inhibitors from the ion channel library shows monovalent ion channel blockers, namely lumacaftor, glipizide, gliquidone, glisoxepide, and azelnidipine to be the inhibitors with high docking scores. Understanding the three-dimensional structure of M protein will help design therapeutics and vaccines for Dengue infection.

지금까지의 하천 설계는 하천의 유량, 유사량, 하상토 입도분포, 강턱의 입자 또는 하도 표면의 특성, 하곡의 경사 등을 고려하여 안정한 횡단면을 결정하기 위한 목적으로 발전되어 왔다. 하지만, 하천 복원에 있어서 이동 하상의 안정 하도 및 하천을 설계하는 작업은 수리학적, 하천 형태학적, 그리고 유사 수리학적 측면에서 매우 복잡한 문제들을 포함하고 있으며 더 나아가 다양한 생태서식처 및 환경을 제공할 수 있는 측면까지도 고려하도록 요구되어 지고 있다. 자연하천 복원 설계시 가장 선행되어야 할 작업은 복원하고자 하는 현재의 하천 및 하도의 안정성에 대한 평가이며 이러한 과정에서 평형 하천의 개념을 반드시 고려해야 한다. 안정하도 및 평형하천 형태를 계산하는 방법들이 여러 연구자들에 의해 제안되어 왔고 여러 해석적 방법들 중 Copeland의 방법은 실제로 충적하천에서의 안정 하도 평가 및 설계에 가장 많이 이용되고 있으며 미공병단에 의해 개발된 SAM(Stable Channel Analysis Model) 모형에서 채택하고 있는 해석적 방법 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 Copeland의 해석적 안정하도 분석 방법을 기본 모듈로 채택하고 있는 미공병단에서 개발한 SAM(Stable Channel Analysis Model)의 기본적인 특성과 활용도에 대해서 알아보고 이를 남한강 제1지류인 청미천의 구하도 복원 예정 구간에 적용시켜 현재하도의 안정성을 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 안정하도 경사는 현재 하도 경사보다 완만한 것으로 나타났으나 SAM에서 예측하고 있는 청미천의 안정 하폭은 현재 하도의 하폭보다 훨씬 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 현재 청미천의 복원 구간에서 사주가 많이 발생하는 이유를 뒷받침 하는 결과라고 할 수 있다. 안정수심은 현재 하도의 수심보다 깊은 것으로 계산되었다. SAM을 이용한 계산 결과들은 현재하도의 안정성 평가뿐만 아니라 복원 구간의 안정하도 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

The characteristics of environmentally friendly block, roughness, erosion, stability and dissolved oxygen(DO) were investigated by hydraulic experiment. It was found that the roughness of A-block was lower than I block and A block was more stable to the variation of flow. So it is expected that A-block will be more effective to the channel flow. It was also found that the erosion of channel bed was very small or rarely occurred and stable in the case of 3-dimensional A-block filled with sand. And 3-dimensional A-blocks assembled with A-blocks were more stable against the flow force than I block because of the united force of A-blocks. When the bed of channel was paved with 3-dimensional A-blocks, DO was increased higher than I block. So it is expected that A-block will be more advantageous to underwater environment than I block.

This study aims to analyze causalities among Hairtail prices by distribution channel using a vector autoregressive model. This study applies unit-root test for stability of data, uses Granger causality test to know interaction among Hairtail Prices by distribution channel, and employes the vector autoregressive model to estimate statistical impacts among t-2 period variables used in model. Analyzing results of this study are as follows. First, ADF, PP, and KPSS tests show that the change rate of Hairtail price by distribution channel differentiated by logarithm is stable. Second, a Granger causality test presents that the producer price of Hairtail leads the wholesale price and then the wholesale price leads the consumer price. Third, the vector autoregressive model suggests that the change rate of Hairtail producer price of t-2 period variables statistically, significantly impacts change rates of own, wholesale, and consumer prices at current period. Fourth, the impulse response analysis indicates that impulse responses of the structural shocks with a respectively distribution channel of the Hairtail prices are relatively more powerful in own distribution channel than in other distribution channels. Fifth, a forecast error variance decomposition of the Hairtail prices points out that the own price has relatively more powerful influence than other prices.

Electrical currents generated by human heart activities create magnetic fields represented by MCG(MagnetoCardioGram). Since an MCG signal acquisition system requires precise and stable operation, the system adopts hundreds of SQUID(Superconducting QUantum Interface Device) sensors for signal acquisition. Such a system requires fast real-time data acquisition in a required sampling interval, i.e., 1 mili-second for each sensor. This paper presents designed hardware to acquire data from 256-channel analog signal with 1 ksamples/sec speed, using 12-bit 8-channel ADC devices, SPI interfaces, parallel interfaces, 8-bit microprocessors, and a DSP processor. We implemented SPI interface between ADCs and a microprocessor, parallel interfaces between microprocessors. Our result concludes that the data collection can be done in $168{\mu}sec$ time-interval for 256 SQUID sensors, which can be interpreted to 6 ksamples/sec speed.

The periphery pump (or regenerative pump) has been generally applied in the automotive fuel pump due to their low specific speed (high heads and small flow rate) with stable performance curves. In this study, the performance prediction of side channel type periphery pumps has been developed. The prediction of the circulatory flow rate is based on the consideration of the centrifugal force field in the side-channel and in the impeller vane grooves. For the determination of performance curve (head-flow rate), momentum exchange theory is used. The effects of various geometric parameters and loss coefficients used in the performance prediction method on the head and efficiency are discussed, and the results were compared with experimental data.
