CO sensing thick film gas sensors using $Co_3O_4$ powders prepared by hydrothermal reaction method, were fabricated, and their structural, electrical and CO gas sensing properties were investigated. The specific surface area of the $Co_3O_4$ powders obtained from BET analysis was about 79.0 $m^2/g$. XRD and SEM results show that the thick films heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min after screen printing had the preferred orientation of (311) direction and the crystalline size was calculated to 221 $\AA$. The maximum activation energy obtained from the temperature-resistance characteristics was 3.11 eV in the temperature range of $290^{\circ}C$ to $310^{\circ}C$. The sensitivity to 1,000 ppm CO was about 150 %. The specific surface area, crystalline size, and maximum activation energy were increased significantly and the sensitivity for CO gas was improved largely.

To supply precise marketing and differentiated service for the electric power service department, it is very important to predict the customers with high sensitivity of electric power failure. To solve this problem, we propose a novel grouped 𝑙_1/2 sparsity constrained logistic regression method for sensitivity assessment of electric power failure. Different from the 𝑙₁ norm and k-support norm, the proposed grouped 𝑙_1/2 sparsity constrained logistic regression method simultaneously imposes the inter-class information and tighter approximation to the nonconvex 𝑙₀ sparsity to exploit multiple correlated attributions for prediction. Firstly, the attributes or factors for predicting the customer sensitivity of power failure are selected from customer sheets, such as customer information, electric consuming information, electrical bill, 95598 work sheet, power failure events, etc. Secondly, all these samples with attributes are clustered into several categories, and samples in the same category are assumed to be sharing similar properties. Then, 𝑙_1/2 norm constrained logistic regression model is built to predict the customer's sensitivity of power failure. Alternating direction of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm is finally employed to solve the problem by splitting it into several sub-problems effectively. Experimental results on power electrical dataset with about one million customer data from a province validate that the proposed method has a good prediction accuracy.

Enhanced coalbed methane recovery (ECBM), as injecting $CO_2$ or $N_2$ into the coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir for increasing methane recovery, takes center stage in these days. ECBM makes a better recovery than the conventional production method, it called dewatering process. However the characteristics of injection gas affect to methane recovery, thus analysis on the mixed ratio of injection gas should be required. In this study, CBM reservoir model was built to estimate the methane recovery of ECBM method by different mixed ratio of injection gas. Additionally, to consider the characteristics of injection gas such as carbon captured storage, nitrogen re-injection, etc. economic analysis was performed. The results showed that ECBM cases produced methane almost twice as much as dewatering case and $CO_2$ 10% and $N_2$ 90% case resulted in the highest methane recovery among the mixed gas cases. On the other hand, the results of economic analysis showed that $CO_2$ 20% and $N_2$ 80% case made the highest total production profit. Therefore, both the recovery of methane and economical efficiency should be considered to apply ECBM process.

Large container carriers are suffering from lack of knowledge on reliable correlation allowances between model tests and full-scale trials, especially at fully loaded condition, Careful full-scale sea trial with a full loading of containers both in holds and on decks was carried out to clarify it. Model test results were analyzed by different methods but with the same measuring data to figure out appropriated correlations factors for each analysis methods, Even if it is no doubt that model test technique is one of the most reliable tool to predict full scale powering performance, its assumptions and simplifications which have been applied on the course of data manipulation and analysis need a feedback from sea trial data for a fine tuning, so called correlation factor. It can be stated that the best correlation allowances at fully loaded condition for both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional analysis methods are fecund through the careful sea trial results and relevant study on the large size container carriers.

In this study, Economic analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with $CO_2$ capture process was performed. For this purpose, chemical absorption method using amine solvent, which is commercially available and most suitable for existing thermal power plant, was studied. For the evaluation of the economic analysis of coal-fired power plant with post-combustion $CO_2$ capture process in Korea, energy penalty after $CO_2$ capture was calculated using the power equivalent factor suggested by Bolland et al. And the overnight cost of power plant (or cost of plant construction) and the operation cost reported by the IEA (International Energy Agency) were used. Based on chemical absorption method using a amine solvent and 3.31 GJ/$tonCO_2$ as a regeneration energy in the stripper, the net power efficiency was reduced from 41.0% (without $CO_2$ capture) to 31.6% (with $CO_2$ capture) and the levelized cost of electricity was increased from 45.5 USD/MWh (Reference case, without $CO_2$ capture) to 73.9 USD/MWh (With $CO_2$ capture) and the cost of $CO_2$ avoided was estimated as 41.3 USD/$tonCO_2$.

This paper proposes a modified method of Latin Hypercube sampling to reduce the variance of statistical parameters in uncertainty analysis of concrete structures. The proposed method is a modification of Latin Hypercube sampling method. This analysis method uses specifically modified tables of random permutations of ranked numbers. In addition, the Spearman coefficient is used to make modified tables. Numerical analysis is carried out to predict the uncertainty of axial shortening in prestressed concrete bridge. Statistical parameters obtained from modified Latin Hypercube sampling method and conventional Latin Hypercube sampling method are compared and evaluated by a numeric analysis. The results show that the proposed method results in a decrease in the variance of statistical parameters. This indicates the method is efficient and effective in the uncertainty analysis of complex structural system such as prestressed concrete bridges.

The experimental model of arc sensor in $CO_2$ arc welding has been individually developed according to welding condition and welding procedure. Therefore, the development of new arc sensor having the features of all conventional arc sensor is important in point of its application to various welding environment. In this study, the arc sensor experimental models comprised of a regression model and noise term were formulated using conventional arc sensing algorithm such as current area difference, current integration difference and weaving end current difference method, and their features were observed. The new regression arc sensor model was suggested using multiple linear regression analysis using current variables as independent variables of regression analysis. The artificial neural network model was also suggested where current variables and offset distance was used input/out variables of input/output node.
