Despite the usefulness of nitrogen isotope tracer experiments in nitrogen cycling studies, there are not such many measurement data mainly due to the difficulties in analytical methods. Although Gardner et al. (1996) developed a relatively simple and accurate method that can measure ammonium isotope using HPLC and used it widely in various N dynamics studies, the technique was not adopted to other laboratories. An HPLC-RTS system using updated HPLC pumps that can perform the same measurements as that of Gardner et al. (1996) was built. The result of standard sample showed linear increase of RTS with the $^{15}N$ proportions. Centroid retention times calculated with Matlab$^{(R)}$ program enhanced the linearity of the response. In a sea water incubation experiment spiked with $^{15}NH_4{^+}$, the uptake and regeneration of ammonium could be separately estimated using the temporal change of $^{15}N/^{14}N$.

The Earth outer core accomodates moderately considerable amount of lighter elements than pure iron itself. Hydrogen is one of the possible candidates of minor constituents in the outer core. It would be worth while to extend for the pressure effect on the solubility of hydrogen in the metal-hydrides including iron hydride. In view of hydrogen being one of the potential substitutes for petroleum, searching a more efficient way for storing hydrogen in the form of hydrides is of considerable value. For two purposes, $TiH_2$was selected among lot of hydrides for its characteristics under pressure and temperature. There have been two kinds of experiment carried out on $TiH_2$ under different experimental conditions. As one of these attempts, polycrystalline $TiH_2$ was loaded up to 15 GPa stepwise at the constant temperature 500${\circ}$ using a piston-cylinder diamond anvil cell equipped with a miniature furnace of an electric power supply. The X-ra diffraction technique was employed on the quenched samples after the simultaneous high pressure and temperature treatments. During these high pressure-temperature runs, and irreversible phase of $TiH_2$ has been observed at the pressures higher than 11.3 GPa, which would be assigned to the orthorhombic crystal system as one of the new phase(s) of $TiH_2$. Molar volume change on this phase transition is ∼10%.

Recently, many studies have been attempted to save the cost of production and to build the ocean energy power generating system. The low-reflection structure with the wall-typed curtain which has a wave power generation system of OWC is known as the most effective energy conversion system. A three-dimensional numerical model was used to understand the characteristics of velocity of flows about compressed air and to estimate the pressure acting on the low-reflection structure due to the short-period waves. The three-dimensional numerical wave flume which is the model for the immiscible two-phase flow was applied in interpretation for this. The numerical simulation showed well about the changes in velocity of compressed air and the characteristics of pressure according to the change in the wave height and depth of the curtain wall. Additionally, the results found that there was the point of the maximum velocity of the compressed air when the reflection coefficient is at its lowest point.

In the IT industry, processing units of IT applications are getting smaller and high efficient. Furthermore, the realization of various smart functions is highly feasible now due to advances in sensing technology. The service infrastructures on high efficient and compact mobile devices are applied to various areas. These also could be possessed by users and is built into the devices. Currently, studies on the UX(User Experience) field to attempt an analysis and prediction of user's information are continuing with reference to the UI(User Interface). However, research on the common framework of classification and storing the user-information, and standardization of form has not been attempted yet. In this study, we proposed the AUX(Associative user Experience) model and process structure to store various empirical data by users. The AUX model expressed a diversity of user's empirical data using extended E-TCPN model. And also, we expressed the data structure using XML with reference to the application of AUX model. This expressed model and separation of process structure guarantee its specialty, productivity and flexibility through the humanistic characteristics of users and the independence of technical process structure. The AUX model maps out the AUX information process architecture and expressed the process with the improved MPP algorithm, to analyze of its performance. The simulation of movements applying to MPP traffic allocation of VOD is used to analyze of its performance. The playback deviation of MPP Graphic Allocation Algorism where the AUX model was applied was improved by 10.41% more than the one where it was not applied. As a result of that, playback performance has improved due to the conversion of AUX with accessing media, content of users and dynamic traffic allocation such as MPI and CPI.

In this paper, we studied the brain-computer interface (BCI). BCIs help severely disabled people to control external devices by analyzing their brain signals evoked from motor imageries. The findings in the field of neurophysiology revealed that the power of $\beta$(14-26 Hz) and $\mu$(8-12 Hz) rhythms decreases or increases in synchrony of the underlying neuronal populations in the sensorymotor cortex when people imagine the movement of their body parts. These are called Event-Related Desynchronization / Synchronization (ERD/ERS), respectively. We implemented a BCI-based mouse interface system which enabled subjects to control a computer mouse cursor into four different directions (e.g., up, down, left, and right) by analyzing brain signal patterns online. Tongue, foot, left-hand, and right-hand motor imageries were utilized to stimulate a human brain. We used a non-invasive EEG which records brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a short period of time by placing electrodes on the scalp. Because of the nature of the EEG signals, i.e., low amplitude and vulnerability to artifacts and noise, it is hard to analyze and classify brain signals measured by EEG directly. In order to overcome these obstacles, we applied statistical machine-learning techniques. We could achieve high performance in the classification of four motor imageries by employing Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) which transformed input EEG signals into a new coordinate system making the variances among different motor imagery signals maximized for easy classification. From the inspection of the topographies of the results, we could also confirm ERD/ERS appeared at different brain areas for different motor imageries showing the correspondence with the anatomical and neurophysiological knowledge.

In this paper, a series of algorithms are proposed for controlling different kinds of multimedia contents and realizing interact between human and computer by using single input device. Human gesture recognition based on NUI is presented firstly in my paper. Since the image information we get it from camera is not sensitive for further processing, we transform it to YCbCr color space, and then morphological processing algorithm is used to delete unuseful noise. Boundary Energy and depth information is extracted for hand detection. After we receive the image of hand detection, PCA algorithm is used to recognize hand posture, difference image and moment method are used to detect hand centroid and extract trajectory of hand movement. 8 direction codes are defined for quantifying gesture trajectory, so the symbol value will be affirmed. Furthermore, HMM algorithm is used for hand gesture recognition based on the symbol value. According to series of methods we presented, we can control multimedia contents by using human gesture recognition. Through large numbers of experiments, the algorithms we presented have satisfying performance, hand detection rate is up to 94.25%, gesture recognition rate exceed 92.6%, hand posture recognition rate can achieve 85.86%, and face detection rate is up to 89.58%. According to these experiment results, we can control many kinds of multimedia contents on computer effectively, such as video player, MP3, e-book and so on.

Generally, if RGB image is sent to the printer when we print a digital photograph, the printer will convert RGB to CMYK by the inner built-in drive. Because the difference between color domain of RGB and CMYK will cause that change and difference. The most common way to solve the problem is to convert colors by using ICC profile at RIP software or to adapt automatic color converting from the software of the original printer. So we intended to study show which way is most efficient to the digital output and which color mode device is the best based on the printer's own drive in this paper. we tried to observe and check the extended range of color space such as AdobeRGB as well as CMYK and sRGB. Then we made sure which is the suitable color space. Besides, When we convert RGB mode into CMYK mode by utilizing RIP software and adapt the printer's ICC profile made by our selves, we evaluated the output we get and compared the result with extended RGB image. The results are as follows. In case of RGB mode, the printer requests RGB, and that makes the color space more efficient than CMYK's. Converted to CMYK by utilizing RIP software, the chroma is more linearized than the one produced with its' own driver. Compared with sRGB mode's color gamut, AdobeRGB mode's color gamut and CMYK mode's color, CMYK mode's color gamut is the smallest among 3 of them. CMYK mode's color gamut by utilizing RIP software can be changeable. that can be small and narrow or wide and broad. In other words, the volume of color gamut depends on how CMYK is linearized. The color space of sRGB is more advantageous than the one of AdobeRGB in color-reproduction printed. But in the group $-b^*$, the chroma leaves behind in terms of reproduction, In the group of $-a^*$, the chroma is excellent relatively. Visual evaluation of the image, AdobeRGB image has not many reproduction colors. Specially, according to printers' characteristics, Group B of AdobeRGB and sRGB color space is a long way behind In terms of reproduction but Group Y is excellent relatively.

This paper deals with characteristics analysis of a permanent magnet (PM) linear generator using analytical methods for wave energy harvesting. The wave energy is carried out from the movement of a yo-yo system. A linear generator using permanent magnets to generate a magnetic force itself does not require a separate power supply and has the advantage of simple maintenance. In addition to the use of a rare earth, a permanent magnet having a high-energy density can be miniaturized and lightweight, and can obtain high energy-conversion efficiency. We derived magnetic field solutions produced by the permanent magnet and armature reaction based on 2D polar coordinates and magnetic vector potential. Induced voltage is obtained via arbitrary sinusoidal input. In addition, electrical parameters are obtained, such as back-EMF constant, resistance, and self- and mutual-winding inductances. The space harmonic method used in this paper is confirmed by comparing it with finite element method (FEM) results. These facilitate the characterization of the PM-type linear generator and provide a basis for comparative studies, design optimization, and machine dynamic modeling.

An AC electrical railroad system has rapidly changing dynamic single-phase load, and at a feeding substation, three-phase electric power is transformed to the paired directional single-phase electric power. There is a great difference in electrical phenomenon between the load of AC electrical railroad system and that of general power system. Electric characteristics of AC electrical railroad's trainload are changed continuously according to the traction, operating characteristic, operating schedule, track slope, etc. Because of the long feeding distance of the dynamic trainload, power quality problems such as voltage drop, voltage imbalance and harmonic distortion my also occur to AC electrical railroad system. These problems affect not only power system stability, but also power quality deterioration in AC electrical railroad system. The dynamic simulation model of AC electrical railroad system presented by PSCAD/EMTDC is modeled in this paper, andthen, it is analyzed voltage drop for AC electrical railroad system both with single-phase distributed STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator) installed at SP(Sectioning Post) and without.
