Advanced zinc-based sorbents, ZA, for Hot Gas Desulfurization (HGD) process in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems were formulated with $Al_2$O$_3$ as support to enhance the reactivity and their reactive characteristics was also investigated in this study. Changes in the physical and chemical properties of the sorbents based on both the mole ratios of ZnO/Al$_2$O$_3$ and the calcination temperatures were examined by a XRD. The results obtained in our desulfurization-regeneration cycle tests demonstrated that degradation of sorbents due to the heat generation could be improved through the optimization of the $Al_2$O$_3$ contents and of the calcination temperatures. From the durability study it is concluded that the prepared ZA sorbents with additives have the desirable features for HGD.

The behaviour of an earth and rock-fill dam is complicated due to reservoir water and various materials in zoned dams. Different materials with a wide range of permeability and seasonal variation of reservoir water result in the time dependent post-constructional behaviour. In aged dams it is often required to control water level to keep the dams safe. In this case information on the post-constructional dam behaviour is important. However, present geotechnical knowledge does not fully support the occasion. In this study the post-constructional behaviour of a dam is investigated using coupled finite element models for series of idealized water reservoir cases: impoundment, draw down, seasonal fluctuation with different rising and falling speeds. Numerical results were analysed in respect of geotechnical parameters such as load transfer, hydraulic fracturing potential and stress paths. It is shown that the control of water level is an important factor while operating dams.

In this study, Field test was performed using high-quality additions and accelerators to obtain the improvement of the strength on domestic shotcrete and quality test based on EFNARC was performed. In addition, Deterioration test that combined the Freezing-thawing and Carbonation was also performed in order to investigate a long-term durability of high-strength shotcrete. As a result of field test, a promotion ratio of early strength is $90\sim97%$ in case of using alkali-free accelerators. And a compressive strength of shotcrete using Micro-silica fume was $45.2\sim55.8MPa$ and the flexible strength was $5.01\sim6.66MPa$, so a promotion ratio of strength was $37\sim79%$, $17\sim61%$ respectively. It was showed that increment effect of strength by the Micro-silica fume replacement of $7.5\sim10%$ for cement mass was remarkable. It was also realized that application of Micro-silica fume to shotcrete reduced deterioration and improved a long-term durability of shotcrete.

Because of internal voids ininsulators give rise to partial discharge(PD), which cause local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Treeing due to PD is one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials and reduction of the insulation life. Therefore the necessity for establishing a method to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict the breakdown of insulation has become important. From this viewpoint, our studies diagnose insulation degradation using the method of computer sensing system, which has the advantages of PD and acoustic emission(AE) sensing system. To use advantages of these two methods can be used effectively to search for treeing location and PD in some materials. In analysis method of degradation. We analyzed the PD pulse and AE pulses by regression analysis, compared to these obtained the correlation coefficient and determination coefficient by T-distribution and saw that PD and AE pulses show a similar pattern on the whole. Finally using statically operator such as the center of gravity(G), the gradient of the discharge distribution(C), we have analyzed for the prediction of life which we can be obtained the time, occurred of many pulse of small discharge amplitude.

The fatigue behavior of GFRP composites is affected by environmental parameters. Therefore, we have to study on effect of sea water on fatigue behavior of GFRP composites as to maintain the safety and confidence in design of ocean structure of GFRP. In this paper, we investigated the fatigue properties of chopped strand glass mat/polyester composite in synthetic sea water. (pH 8.2) In case of the glass fiber (CSM type) reinforced polyester composite materials, the fatigue crack in the both dry and wet specimens tested in air or synthetic sea water occurred at the initial of cycle. Thereafter, it was divided with two regions that one decreased with the crack extension and the other increased with the crack extension. The transition point occurred during the crack propagation shifted to high ${\Delta}K$ value as load increase but its point is not changed regardless of immersion or test environment under a constant load. The synthetic sea water degrades the bond strength between fiber and matrix, thereby the tendency of rapid deceleration and acceleration of the crack growth was appeared.

The main objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the effect of adhesive thickness and environmental conditions on the failure and strength of sandwich-to-laminate bonded joints. Three different adhesive thicknesses (t=0.2, 2 and 4 mm) and two different environmental conditions were considered. Environmental conditions include the RTD(room temperature and dry condition) and ETW(elevated temperature and wet condition). Test results show as the adhesive thickness increases from 0.2 mm to 2 and 4 mm, the joint strength decreases 16 and 30%, respectively. Regarding the effect of environmental conditions, except for one case, the joint strength in the ETW conditions turned out to be 12% higher than those in the RTD conditions. In the joints with adhesive thickness of 0.2 mm, remarkable difference from RTD condition was not found.

If FRP materials that have been known as high durability materials are exposed to harmful environmental factors, deterioration and characteristics of materials can be reduced due to chemical reaction such as hydrolysis. Therefore, to use FRP materials as building major materials, it is important to exactly grasp dynamic properties by use condition. Accordingly, this study stored FRP materials in a strong acid and alkali compound solution for a certain period to conduct simulation for acute or chronic, extreme changes by chemicals, and conducted a test for compressive, tensile, shear and bending strength to analyze changes in strength by kinds and storage days of chemicals. In conclusion, the study findings indicate excellent chemical resistance of FRP materials.

The COMS (Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite) is a hybrid geostationary satellite including communication, ocean, and meteorological payloads. The COMS includes the MODCS (Meteorological and Ocean Data Communication Subsystem) which provides transmitting the raw data collected by meteorological payload called MI (Meteorological Imager) and ocean payload named GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) to the ground station, and relaying the meteorological data processed on the ground to the end-user stations. Here, for the L-band transmit antenna transmitting SD (Sensor Data) signal and the processed signal, from the system point of view, it is required to estimate the combined antenna gain when the L-band transmit is placed with MI and GOCI payloads on the earth panel of COMS. First of all, the L-band transmit horn is designed and analyzed for the requirements given, and then after placing it on the earth panel, the combined gain analysis is performed using three different analysis methods. It's shown that the obtained gain patterns are very similar among three different analysis methods. Finally the antenna gain degradation of less than 0.5 dB is estimated.

In this paper we discuss the effect of the delay limit and the packet size related to the quality of service on a VoIP system using the Internet. We also provide a guideline to determining the optimal packet size of the voice data for a given delay limit. Empirical studies are done with two personal computers connected through the packet switched public IP network. The sender encodes the voice signal from the microphone to get PCM and ADPCM data and sends the data to the receiver using UDP packets. The receiver plays the reconstructed voice from the stream with lost and delayed packets. The quality of the reconstructed voice is evaluated offline by the MNB (Measuring Normal Block) method using the data acquired from the both sides. The result shows that under the delay limit of 100ms for 40Kbps, 32Kbps and l6Kbps of ADPCM data, the minimum packet size should be 300bytes, 400bytes and 600bytes respectively and the maximum packet size should be l200bytes commonly for the best quality of voice.
