Most of the drinking water dams managed by the local governments in Korea are earthfill dams, and these dams have almost no geotechnical property information necessary for seismic performance evaluation. Nevertheless, in the rough planning stage for improving seismic safety for these dams, it is necessary to classify their relative seismic hazard against earthquakes and conduct an additional ground investigation. The zero seismic failure probability curve is a curve suggested in this study in which the probability of failure due to an earthquake becomes '0' regardless of the geotechnical properties of the earthfill dam. By examining the method and procedure for calculating failure probability due to an earthquake suggested in previous researches, the zero seismic failure probability curves for an earthquake in 1,000-year and 2,400-year return periods in Korea were presented in the form of a hyperbola on the plane of the dam height versus freeboard ratio (ratio of freeboard to dam height), respectively. The distribution characteristics of the dam height and the freeboard ratio of 81 Korean earthfill dams were presented. The two proposed zero seismic failure probability curves are shown on the plane of the dam height versus freeboard ratio, and the relative seismic hazard of 81 dams can be classified into three groups using these curves as boundaries. This study presented the method of classifying the relative seismic hazard and the classification result.

The past several years have seen a substantial growth in mathematical modeling activities whose interests are to describe the performance, efficiency and emissions characteristics of various types of internal combustion engines. The key element in these simulations of various aspects of engine operation is the model of the engine combustion process. Combustion models are then classified into three categories: zero-dimensional, quasi-dimensional and multidimensional models. zero-dimensional models are built around the first law of thermodynamics, and time is the only independent variable. This paper presents a introduction to the combustion characteristics of a spark ignition combustion modeling by zero-dimensional model.

A number of different nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) materials have been prepared and compared depending on the desired properties for the particular application, but different physicochemical properties of this prepared nZVI make it difficult to universally compare and standardize them to the same scale. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate a simple microplate-based colorimetric assay using 4-chlorophenol as an indicator with respect to the remediation of real treatment targets, such as trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), and atrazine. Effect of nickel contents on 4-chlorophenol reduction was successfully investigated by the miniaturized colorimetric assay. In the same manner, the effect of nickel contents on dehalogenation of TCE, TCA, and atrazine was investigated and the pseudo-first-order kinetic constants were compared with the results for 4-chlorophenol. The similar pattern could be observed between 4-chlorophenol reduction obtained by colorimetric assay and TCE, TCA, atrazine reduction obtained by a traditional chromatographic method. The reaction kinetics does not match perfectly, but the degree of reaction can be estimated. Therefore, the colorimetric assay can be a useful and simple screening tool to determine nZVI reactivity toward halogenated organics before it is applied to a particular remediation site.

The pyrolysized carbon xerogel and aerogels were prepared from the sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol-formaldehyde(RF) followed by the dry process under ambient pressure and supercritical carbon dioxide condition respectively. The thermal behaviour of RF polymer xerogel was investigated with TGA analyzer to correspond with the pyrolysis process. The surface properties such as particle size, morphology and the point of zero charge of the pyrolysized porous carbon aerogels were studied for the precious metal catalyst supported media. It was found that the volume of the polymer aerogel decreased because of the significant linear shrinkage and weight loss of polymer gel during the carbonization. The point of zero charge of the carbon aerogel pyrolysized at $1050^{\circ}C$ under inert gas flow was about 10.

Zero Cross-correlation Zone (ZCZ) code has a good performance in Multi-user CDMA system to get low correlation zone and reject co-channel interference. In this paper, we do analysis of spreading code design to obtain this kind of property of correlations with a complex spreading scheme and denote their effective performance for mobile communication system. In addition, a Jacket polyphase sequence is an example to show the improved performance and regular properties effective performance for mobile communication system. In addition, a Jacket polyphase sequence is as an example to show the improved performance and regular properties.

This article concerns a ring property which is seated between IFP and IPFP rings. We study the insertion property of nonzero powers at zero products, introducing the concept of strongly IPFP ring. The structure of strongly IPFP rings is investigated in relation with nearly seated ring properties and ring extensions.

A near-ring N is reduced if, for $a{\in}N,\;a^2=0$ implies a=0, and N is left strongly regular if for all $a{\in}N$ there exists $x{\in}N$ such that $a=xa^2$. Mason introduced this notion and characterized left strongly regular zero-symmetric unital near-rings. Several authors ([2], [5], [7]) studied these properties in near-rings. Reddy and Murty extended some results in Mason to the non-zero symmetric case. In this paper, we will define a concept of strong reducedness and investigate a relation between strongly reduced near-rings and left strongly regular near-rings.

In this paper, an adaptive pole-zero placement algorithm which has disturbance rejection properties is proposed. This method using the internal model principle is shown to reject the disturbances asymptotically. Furthermore, a method which reduces the number of estimated parameters is proposed. Some simulation results are given to demonstrate the performance of the algorithms.

Let P be a commutator poset with Z(P) its set of zero-divisors. The annihilator graph of P, denoted by AG(P), is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $Z(P){\setminus}\{0\}$ as vertices, and distinct vertices x, y are adjacent if and only if $ann(xy)\;{\neq}\;(x)\;{\cup}\;ann(y)$. In this paper, we study basic properties of AG(P).

We study special types of matrices. The involutary fuzzy matrices are important in various applications and have many interesting properties. Using the graphical method, we have the zero patterns of involutary fuzzy matrix, that is, involutary Boolean matrices. And we give the construction of all involutary fuzzy matrices for some dimensions and suggest the canonical form of involutary fuzzy matrix.
