Alignments of railways recently constructed in Korea have been straightened due to the advent of high-speed rail, which means increasing the numbers of tunnels and bridges. Overbreak during tunnel construction may be unavoidable, and is very influential on overall stability. Over-excavation in tunneling is also one of the most important factors in construction costs. Overbreak problems around crown areas have decreased with improvements of excavation methods, but overbreak problems around bottom areas have not decreased because those areas are not very influential on tunnel stability compared with crown areas. The filling costs of 10 cm thickness of overbreak at the bottom of a tunnel are covered under construction costs by Korea Railway Authority regulations, but filling costs for more than the covered thickness are considered losses of construction cost. The filling material for overbreak bottoms of tunnels should be concrete, but concrete and mixed granular materials with fractured rock are also used for some sites. Tunnels in which granular materials with fractured rock are used may have a discontinuous section under the concrete slab track. The discontinuous section influences the propagation of waves generated from train operation. When the bottom of a tunnel is filled with only concrete material, the bottom of the tunnel can be considered as a continuous section, in which the waves generated from a train may propagate without reflection waves. However, a discontinuous section filled with mixed granular materials may reflect waves, which can cause resonance of vibration. The filled materials and vibration propagation characteristics are studied in this research. Tunnel bottom filling materials that have ratios of granular material to concrete of 5.0 %, 11.5 %, and 18.0 % are investigated. Samples were made and tested to determine their material properties. Static numerical analyses were performed using the FEM program under train operation load; test results were found to satisfy the stability requirements. However, dynamic analysis results show that some mixed ratios may generate resonance vibration from train operation at certain speeds.

Confonmation of (Z)-cinnamonitrile have been studied by molecular orbital theoretically using extended Huckel theory(EHT) and CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculation methods. The results indicate that the stability of conformation is(Z)-gauch>(Z)-planar. The rate constants for alkalie hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile at pH 7.0-14.0 range have been determined by ultra-violet spectrophotometry in 50% methanol at $25^{\circ}C$ and the following rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained; $${\therefore}k=({\frac{1.41{\times}10^{-14}+1.21{\times}10^7/[H_3O^+]}{2.65{\times}10^{-7}+1.64/[H_3O^+]})+9.14{\times}10^9/[H_3O^+]$$ The rate equation reveals that, at pH 7.0-10.0, the reaction is initiated by the addition of water molecule to unsaturated cabon-carhon double bond of cinnamonitrile and ${\alpha}C-{\beta}C$ bond scission follow subsequently in neutral and alkalie media. At pH 12.0-14.0, in strong alkalie solution, that so-called Michael type nucleophilic addition that the over-all rate constants is only dependent upon the concentration of hydroxide ion occurs competitively and are very complicated. Hence, the reaction mechanism of alkalie hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile which did not carefully before can be fully explained.

The soft landing of a lunar lander after the entrance of lunar orbit is an essential prerequisite for the accomplishment of the lander's lunar mission. During the landing process of a lunar lander, efficient shock absorption and stability maintenance are indispensible technology to protect payloads. Therefore, the landing gear is a crucial structural component of a lunar lander, it has to absorb the kinetic energy associated with touchdown and support the static load of the landing module in an upright position. In this paper, various landing gears of lunar landers which are being developed as well as which had been successfully landed on the moon surface are investigated. In the end, the Korean lunar lander, which is being designed for preliminary development model, is presented as an example of the lunar lander development.

This paper systematically analyzes the dynamic effects of structure approaches which are expected to have direct effects on train loads - according to the train's acceleration as the area under consideration is located in a section where acceleration of high speed railway vehicles and the train's operating speed happens. In addition, through an examination of the dynamic train loads, dynamic behavioral characteristics of embedded structures and structure approaches were analyzed and a numerical analysis has been carried out in order to evaluate the performance of track subgrade and the safety of the structure. As a result, we reach the conclusion that the dynamic effects by train loads is low, but somewhat high vertical acceleration occurs.

After the commercial opening of the KTX in 2005, the high speed railroad has been rapidly emerged as the major transportation means due to its high energy efficiency. Recently, the government has announced its plan to build the future transportation system around the high speed railroad. Based on this policy, the existing lines as well as the lines under construction or design are planning to increase design speed. In this paper, the suitability of the mid-span PSC girder bridges for the high speed railroad is evaluated via dynamic analysis. IT, Precom, and WPC girder bridges are considered for the purpose of this study and, for comparison, the identical modeling method and the analysis technique are utilized. The performance indices used for dynamic performance evaluation are the natural frequency, the vertical displacement, the end axial displacement, track irregularity, etc. The KTX train is utilized as a dynamic load, and the dynamic analysis is performed up to the train speed of 420km/hr with the increment of 10km/hr.

A Series of meta and para-substituted phenyl N-methylcarbamate derivatives were synthesized and influence of substituents(X) on the molecular orbital(MO) quantities of carbonyl group, carbamylation reaction center, and insecticidal activities($pI_50$) were discussed quantitatively. From these findings, the most stable streo conformer(Z) shows that the planer phenyl group occupies vertical(${\theta}=90^{\circ}$) position on the plane of the N-methylcarbamyl group. The carbamylation mechanism was proposed that the carbamylation process of acetylcholinesterase(ACh.E) by m-methyl substituted phenyl N-methylcarbamate derivatives proceeds via hyperconjugation of m-methyl group and carbonyl oxygene protonation, theromodynamically control reaction with acidic site of ACh.E.

This paper reports a design improvement study to solve the stoppage phenomenon caused by the launch-support device applied to K105A1. The K105A1 is a weapon system equipped with an old 105 mm towed howitzer in a wheeled vehicle, which provides superior maneuverability compared to track equipment. The launch support device serves to withstand fire impact and load. In this way, this device is fixed firmly to the ground in preparation for the shooting mission and is responsible for the critical performance, such as fixing the position of the vehicle. On the other hand, during the field test, a temporary stoppage of the launch support occurred, which caused a problem of not being fixed to the ground. To solve this problem, the cause of failure was analyzed by a replay test and parts inspection. In addition, the operating concept, method, and design were analyzed to derive the cause and solve the problem by changing the parts design. Finally, the performance and firing missions were performed normally by applying the changed design to K105A1. The performance stability and reliability of the launch support device were confirmed, which are expected to be of great assistance in the development of military equipment in the future.

The hydrolysis rate of insecticidal buprofezin(IUPAC : tert-butylimino-3-isopropyl-5-phenylperhydro-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-one) in the range of pH 2.0 and 12.0 have been examined in 15%(v/v) aqueous dioxane at $45^{\circ}C$. The hydrolysis mechanism of buprofezin is proposed from the pH-effect, solvent effect(${\ell}{\gg}m$), thermodynamic parameter(${\Delta}H^{\neq}$=11.12 $Kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ &, ${\Delta}S^{\neq}=5.0e.u.$), rate equation and hydrolysis product, l-isopropyl-3-phenyl urea. General acid catalyzed hydrolysis and specific acid catalyzed($k_{H3O+}$) hydrolysis through $A-S_{E}2$ and A-2(or $A_{AC}2$) reaction mechanism with orbital-control reaction proceed below pH 8.0 and above pH 9.0, the nucleophilic addition-elimination, $Ad_{N}-E$ mechanism via tetrahedral($sp^{3}$) intermediate is initiation by general base catalyzed($k_{H2O}$) reaction. Buprofezin was more stable in alkaline ($k=10^{-8}sec.^{-1}$) than acid solutions from the sigmoid pH-rate profile. And the half-life($t=\frac{1}{2}$) of hydrolysis reaction in neutral aqueous solution(pH 7.0) at $45^{\circ}C$ was about 3 months.

Recently released a top secret document explicitly shows that the early development plan for an earth observation satellite in the USA has a hidden and more important purpose for a concept of 'free space' than the scientific purpose. At that time, the hidden and secret concept imbedded within the early space development plan prevail other national policies of the USA government for purpose of the national security. Under these circumstances, it is quite reasonable to accept a possibility that the meteorological satellites which play a key role in the every area of meteorology and climatology was also born for the hidden purposes. Even it is so, it is quite amazing that the first meteorological satellite is launched in the USA despite of the facts that the major users of the meteorological satellites were not very enthusiastic with the meteorological satellite and the program was not started as a formal meteorological satellite project. This was only possible because of the external socio-political impact caused by the successful launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite and a few key policy developers who favored the meteorological satellite program. It is also interesting to note that the beginning of the first Korean meteorological satellite program was initiated by a similar socio-political influence occurred by the launch of a North Korean satellite.
