Our country automatic wet pipe sprinkler system of hydraulically designed system has not deviated from the pipe regulation process, therefore we face limitations when using an independent method to hydraulically designed system. Therefore. after reviewing a developed country's methods using the drainage-density concept, we found it necessary for our country to introduce the drainage-density concept. Currently, under the National Fire Safety Codes(NFSC), this does not solve the problem and the limitation of hydraulically designed system because different problems arise depending on where the head was installed. To make improvements, first, such as the developed country, overcome the difference by introducing the drainage-density concept to determine the amount of drainage. Second, by using diverse head caliber and decreasing the limits on the amounts of distribution, we can expect a leveling off of the drainage density. Third, using the increase of hydraulically designed system through the application of the rule to hydraulically designed system, finally, development to performance based fire protection design.

The environmental contamination by organic pollutants is a widespread problem. The most widely distributed pollution can be attributed to oil contamination. Bioremediation, the use of microorganism or microbial processes to degrade environmental contaminant, is one of the new technologies. The objective of the present study is to study the degradation of JP-8 in soil by microorganism. The degradation of JP-8 was analysed by TPH using gas chromatography. Rhodococcus fascians isolated from the petroleum contaminated site was applied for the degradation of JP-8 in the soil column system. Air flow rate of 30 ml/min was sufficient to degrade JP-8 in the soil column as much as 70% of JP-8 in the soil column. The addition of nitrogen source resulted in the increase in JP-8 degradability to 75% of JP-8 and the C:N ratio for JP-8 degradation was 100:10.

By using the spectroscopic ellipsometry, we have measured and analyzed the optical characteristics of P $r^3$$^{+}$-doped selenide glasses of Ge-Sb-Se system, a strong candidate material for U band fiber amplifiers. The ellipsometric spectra measured in the transparent wavelengths range of the material were all fitted to a model consisting of ambient/roughness/thin fil $m_strate structures to obtain simultaneously the optical properties such as refractive index, in terms of Sellmeier parameters and film structure of P $r^3$$^{+}$-doped selenide glasses. Repeated measurements on different positions in both polished faces rendered to verify positional dependence of measured spectre-ellipsometric data. Hence, the model made possible the analysis of the optical characteristics of the glasses. Even though surface roughness was mainly responsible for the position dependencies, the averaged refractive indexes were as precise as to reflect the minute compositional change tantamount to 1 mol%. The measured refractive indexes are useful for design of core and clad compositions of single-mode selenide optical fibers.

An envelope elimination and restoration transmitter that uses a tri-level envelope encoding scheme is presented for improving the efficiency and linearity of the system. The proposed structure amplifies the same magnitude signal regardless of the input peak-to-average power ratio and reduces the quantization noise by spreading out the noise to the out-of-band frequency, resulting in the enhancement of power efficiency. An improved linearity is also obtained by providing a new timing mismatch calibration technique between the envelope and phase signal. Implementation in a 130 nm CMOS process, transmitter measurements on a 20-MHz long-term evolution input signal show an error vector magnitude of 3.7 % and an adjacent channel leakage ratio of 37.5 dBc at 2.13 GHz carrier frequency.

BOOP(Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia) is an inflammatory reaction that follows damage to the bronchiolar epithelium of the small conducting airways. BOOP is characterized by the pathologic finding of excessive proliferation of granulation tissue within the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar duct and spaces, accompanied by organizing pneumonia in the more distal parenchyma BOOP may result from diverse causes such as toxic fumes, connective tissue disorders, infections, organ transplantation and drugs or appear idiopathically. Drug induced BOOP has been described in association with acebutolol, amiodarone, cephalosporin, bleomycine, tryptophan, gold salts, barbiturates, sulfasalazine, and carbamazepine. Carbamazepine is an iminostilbene derivative that is used as both an anticonvulsant and pain reliever for pains associated with trigeminal neuralgia. It is structually related to the tricyclic antidepressants. To our knowledge, there have been no previously reported case that has described development of BOOP during carbamazepine treatment in Korea, and only two cases have been reported in the world. We report a case carbamazepine-induced BOOP with a brief review of literature.

This study attempts to quantify amount of coacervate generated in a formulation of shampoo with three methods using optical transmission, suspension in a glass tube, and centrifugation. For the correct data acquisition, each method has been optimized to estimate the amount of coacervate with minimum standard deviation. To simply and quantitatively estimate amount of coacervate, two formulations of shampoo were employed as a large or small amount of coacervate generated. Comparisons of the two formulations in repetitive measurement elucidated that the methods by the centrifugation efficiently can be utilized to estimate the accurate amount of coacervate. Additionally, the amount of coacervate by the centrifugation does not exhibit the difference of patterns before and after drying in a shampoo formulation with different conditioning polymers, and this suggests that the centrifugation is a superior method to compare amount of coacervate in liquid.

A few small and medium enterprise administer its organization systematically, but most of them is affected by ability and level of a CEO rather than organization system. In this viewpoint, it can be said the study on ability and level of CEO in small and medium enterprise are so meaningful. Thus, in this paper, the core competency of CEO is obtained from the CEO through questionnaire and it is suggested the evaluation model of the CEO core competency. Also patterns were analyzed by ID3 and fuzzy ID3 from data on expert appraise for CEO core competency and level. The 'if-then' fuzzy rules and decision tree created by results of pattern analysis showed their usefulness for evaluation of CEO core competency in small and medium enterprise.

Recently, wireless networks are becoming an important infrastructure for the critical large-scale applications such as cyber-physical systems and next generation industrial automations. However, the fundamental performance uncertainty of wireless networks may incur the serious instability problem of the overall systems. This paper proposes the proactive network optimizer to guarantee the application demands without any real-time link monitoring information of the networks. In particularly, the proposed proactive optimizer is the cross-layer approach to jointly optimize the routing path and traffic distribution in order to guarantee the performance demand within a maximum k number of link faults. Through the simulations, the proposed proactive network optimizer provides better robustness than the traditional existing reactive networks. Furthermore, the proactive network does not expose to the major weakness of the reactive networks such as the performance degradation due to the erroneous link monitoring information and the network reconfiguration cost.

하천관리 및 수공구조물의 설계 등을 위한 빈도별 홍수량 산정 시 이용되는 방법에는 Clark 단위도법, Snyder 단위도법, KICT 단위도법 등이 있다. 이 중 대표적인 합성단위도법인 Clark 단위도법은 실무에서 가장 많이 사용되는 방법으로 꼽을 수 있으나, Clark 단위도법 매개변수인 집중시간$(T_c)$과 저류상수(K)를 추정하는 것은 단순하지 않다. Clark 단위도법의 매개변수 추정은 계측 유역인 경우와 미계측 유역인 경우로 나눌 수 있는데 대부분의 경우 미계측 유역의 도달시간 및 저류상수를 추정하는 방법으로 홍수량을 산정하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 감천유역을 대상유역으로 선정하였으며, 김천수위표 지점을 유출지점으로 선정하여 홍수량을 산정하였다. 호우사상은 김천수위국의 수위-유량 곡선식으로 유출량의 검정이 가능한 년도를 고려하여 1998${\sim}$2005년 사이의 호우사상 중 분석이 가능한 것으로 판단되는 부항2와 김천 강우관측소의 시강우 자료를 선정하였다. 선정된 호우사상은 1999년, 2002년, 2004년에 대한 총 6개의 시우량 자료로 WAMIS(국가수자원종합정보시스템)와 한강홍수통제소(www.hrfco.go.kr)의 자료실에서 제공하는 한국수문조사연보 자료를 이용하였다. 선정된 호우사상과 WMS모형을 이용하여 산정된 유역면적 및 강우관측소 별 Thiessen 가중계수를 이용하여 HEC-1모형의 최적화기법으로 Clark 단위도법의 집중시간$(T_c)$과 저류상수(K)를 산정하였으며, 계측유역의 매개변수를 산정하는 방법 중 저류방정식을 이용하는 방법을 이용하여 저류상수를 산정하여 비교하였다. 집중시간의 경우 1999년과 2002년에 비해 2004년의 결과값이 작게 산정되었으며, 저류상수의 경우 2004년의 결과값이 크게 산정되었다. 그러나, 저류방정식을 이용하여 저류상수를 결정하는 방법으로 산정한 저류상수는 비교적 일관성 있게 산정되었다.

Creep and shrinkage in concrete structures are very complex phenomena in which various uncertainties exist with regard to inherent material variations as well as modeling uncertainties. The creep and shrinkage models which are capable of predicting long-term structural response are specified in design codes such as ACI 209-92, CEB-FIP Model Code 90, etc. However, in the prediction formulas of creep and shrinkage effects of concrete, various kinds of parameters are involved to express the characteristics of concrete under consideration (i.e. the proportion of concrete, the shape of the structure, relative humidity, etc.). And the predicted values from each design code under same environment differ from each other. To predict the characteristics of concrete, the long-term experiments of creep and shrinkage is necessary but this is not suitable for a construction field. In this study, adjustment method of creep coefficient using sensitivity analysis is proposed to predict creep coefficient of concrete exactly and it is checked up on the validity of the predicting method by comparing to the assumed value and predicted one.
