In the first part of the paper, the crack growth process in rolling contact fatigue has been investigated on ring type plate specimens, in which crack growth is two dimensional and cracks are observed on the side surface of the specimens. The results have shown that cracks are initated from the contact surface in tensile mode in the direction approximately normal to the contact surface and after some short length of growth, shear mode growth occurs from the tip of the crack and it grows until the separation of the surface layer, namely flakung type failure, occurs. In the second part, mode U fatigue crack growth tests have been made by using an apparatus designed based on the concept that the subsurface fatigue crack growth in rolling contact fatigue is the mode U fatigue crack growth under the stress state where the tensile mode growth is suppressed by compression stress. The rest results have shown that the mode U fatigue crack growth occurs if the superposed compression stress is enough to suppress the tensile mode growth.

SIP-based tightly coupled conference, which has a centrally located conference server for controlling and management, can be classified several models according to location of focus and mixer. These are centralized server model, endpoint server model, media server component model and distributed mixing model. However each model has its strength and weakness. In this paper, we propose and implement a SIP-based effective hybrid-type conference model which decreases amount of SIP signaling messages, lowers load of server media mixer, and can be easily expandable to large scale conference. In this model, when the number of participants exceeds a pre-defined limit, the conference server selects some participants which posses specific functions and let them share functions of notifications of conference state event package and media mixing. When each participant subscribes conference state event package to the server, it can indicates its possession of such functions by a specific header message. The server stores the indication to the conference information database, and later uses it to select participants for load sharing. The performance of our proposed model is evaluated by experiments.

최근 지속가능한 개발의 개념은 국제적으로 경제 개발과 환경 보전 사이에서 논쟁이 중심이 되고 있으며, 수자원 개발과 관리는 이들 논쟁에서 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이와 더불어 유역을 관리함에 있어 수자원을 이수, 치수 및 수질의 단일 문제로 인식하는 것이 아니라 통합적으로 인식하는 유역통합관리(Integrated Watershed Management, IWM)의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 유역통합관리에 앞서 유역의 상태 및 문제점을 파악하기 위한 방법으로 EEA (European Environment Agency)에서 개발한 추진력(Driving force)-압력(Pressure)-상태(State)-영향(Impact)-반응(Response) (DPSIR) 개념 이용하여 3개의 세부 지표인 이수지표, 치수지표, 수질지표로 구성된 하나의 통합 지수인 유역수자원평가지수를 개발하였다. 세부지표인 이수지표는 연속무강우일수, 인구밀도, 용수수요, 물재이용률 등 16개의 구성요소, 치수지표는 홍수범람위험 지역 내 거주 인구수, 홍수방어시설용량, 개수율, 100 mm 이상 강수일수 등 15개의 구성요소, 수질지표는 BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demend) 부하량, 수질 등급, 연중 목표 수질 달성일수 등 13개의 구성요소로 이루어져있다. 이를 북한강 유역 중 북한 지역을 제외한 유역 즉, 수자원단위지도 상의 춘천댐권역(1010) ~ 청평댐권역(1015)의 6개 중권역에 적용하여 비교하였다. 세부지표의 주된 요소인 유출량의 모의를 위해 장기유출모형인 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program - Fortran)를 사용하였다. 모형에 입력된 유역평균강수량 자료는 1973년 ~ 2008년까지의 37년의 자료기간을 갖는 북한강유역의 5개 기상관측소 자료를 Thiessen network를 이용하여 산정하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 북한강 유역의 현재 수자원의 상태를 지수화하여 나타내고 그 결과를 비교해보았다. 이 결과는 유역 수자원의 파악하여 유역통합관리시 유역의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 수정하기 위한 의사결정 우선순위를 정하는데 사용될 수 있다.

This study has tried to develop the modified DRASTIC Model by supplying the parameters, such as structural lineament density and landuse, into conventional DRASTIC model, and to predict the potential of groundwater contamination using GIS in Whanam 2 Area, Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Since the aquifers in Korea is generally through the joints of rock-mass in hydrogeological environment, lineament density affects to the behavior of groundwater and contaminated plumes directly, and land-use reflect the effect of point or non-point source of contamination indirectly. For the statistical analysis, lattice layers of each parameter were generated, and then level of confidence was assessed by analyzing each correlation coefficient. Composite contamination map was achieved as a final result by comparing modified DRASTIC potential and the amount of generation load of several contaminant sources logically. The result could suggest the predictability of the area of contamination potential on the respects of hydrogeological aspect and water quality.

Objective: The result of finite element analysis depends on material properties, structural expression, density of element, and boundar or loading conditions. To represent proper elastic behavior, a finite element model was made using Hounsfield unit (HU) values in CT images. Methods: A 13 year 6 month old male was used as the subject. A 3 dimensional visualizing program, Mimics, was used to build a 3D object from the DICOM file which was acquired from the CT images. Model 1 was established by giving 24 material properties according to HU. Model 2 was constructed by the conventional method which provides 2 material properties. Protraction force of 500g was applied at a 45 degree downward angle from Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane. Results: Model 1 showed a more flexible response on the first premolar region which had more forward and downward movement of the maxillary anterior segment. Maxilla was bent on the sagittal plane and frontal plane. Model 2 revealed less movement in all directions. It moved downward on the anterior part and upward on the posterior part, which is clockwise rotation of the maxilla. Conclusion: These results signify that different outcomes of finite element analysis can occur according to the given material properties and it is recommended to use HU values for more accurate results.

Milyanggang mid-watershed is located in downstream of Nakdong river basin. The pollutants from that watershed have an direct effect on Nakdong river water quality and it's control is important to manage a water quality of Nakdong river. A target year of Milyanggang mid-watershed water environment management plan is 2013. To predict a water quality at downstream of Milyang river, we have investigated and forecasted the pollutant source and it's loading. There are some plan to construction the sewage treatment plants to improve the water quality of Milyang river. Those are considered on predicting water quality. As results, it is shown that the population of Milyanggang mid-watershed is 131,857 and sewerage supply rate is 62.2% and the livestock is 1,775.300 in 2006. It is estimated that the population is 123,921, the sewerage supply rate is 75.5% in 2013. The generated loading of BOD and TP is 40,735 kg/day and 2,872 kg/day in 2006 and discharged loading is 11,818 kg/day and 722 kg/day in 2006 respectively. Discharged loadings were forecasted upward 1.0% of BOD and downward 2.7% of TP by 2013. The results of water quality prediction of Milyanggang 3 site were 1.6 mg/L of BOD and 0.120 mg/L of TP in 2013. It is over the target water quality at that site in 2015 about 6.7% and 20.0% respectively. Consequently, there need another counterplan to reduce the pollutants in that mid-watershed by 2015.

수문순환과 수질오염과정의 제반 기작들이 완벽하게 규명되지 않은 상황에서 인위적 또는 자연적 조건에 따른 수질의 평가는 수질모형으로서 추정하는 것이 유일한 대안이며, 다양한 관리대안에 따른 수질환경변화를 예측함으로서 합리적인 관리방안을 도출하는데 유용한 수단이 되고 있다. 현재 시행 중인 수질오염총량관리제에서 또한 수질모형은 핵심적인 역할을 담당하고 있으며, 보다 구체적으로는 단위유역의 목표수질을 결정하는 것에서부터 기본계획 또는 시행계획에 따른 오염부하량 등 환경요인의 변화와 이에 따른 목표수질 설정지점의 수질 변화 등을 모의하는데 이용되고 있다. 그러나 모형에 사용되는 입력 매개변수의 불확실성과 이에 관련된 수질 모형 자체의 불확실성은 수질오염총량관리제와 같이 많은 이해당사자가 관여된 정책의 결정 시에는 공학적으로 많은 부담으로 작용하고 있는 것 또한 현실이다. 실제로 미국의 오염총량관리제의 경우를 살펴보면 모형의 불확실성 분석이 전체 과정의 진행에서 가장 핵심적인 지위를 차지하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 많은 연구들이 수질모형에 있어서의 불확실성을 정량화하기 위하여 수행되어 왔으며, 특히 미국의 오염총량관리계획의 수립 시에는 이러한 불확실성 분석을 토대로 하여 안전율을 산정하도록 되어있다. 그러나 이러한 연구들의 대부분은 수질모형의 매개변수 중 수질기작에 관련된 매개변수들(예를 들어, DO, BOD, N, P 등에 대한 반응계수)에 대한 연구에 집중되어 있다. 하천의 수질을 적절하게 모델링하기 위해서는 이러한 수질에 직접적으로 관련한 매개변수들 이외에 하천의 수리특성에 관한 올바른 이해를 바탕으로 그와 관련된 수리학적 매개변수들에 대한 연구가 뒷받침되어야 한다. 그동안 수행되어온 수질 모델링의 적용 사례를 살펴본 바에 따르면 하천을 모델링하기 위해서는 현장 특성 자료의 중요성, 특히 하천수리특성에 관련된 기초 자료의 가용성 여부가 모형의 성패에 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 이는 유량, 유속 및 폭과 깊이로 대변되는 하천 지형은 물질 이송에 대한 주요 외력 함수이며, 다른 모든 예측치들은 이들에 의존적일 수밖에 없기 때문이다. 따라서 이들의 정확한 표현은 올바른 수질 예측에 있어서 필수적일 수밖에 없다. 많은 모형매개변수들이 유속과 깊이에 의존적이나, 이들에 관한 정보는 종종 현장관측에서 조차 무시되는 경우가 많다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수질모형의 매개변수 중 특히 수리특성에 관련된 매개변수들이 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 적용된 수질모형은 QualKo를 사용하였으며, 대상 하천은 낙동강 본류 경남구간 시점 부근인 회천 합류 전부터 낙동강 본류 경남구간 종점 부근인 밀양강 합류 전까지의 경남 오염총량관리 기본계획 시 구축된 모형 매개변수를 바탕으로 분석을 수행하였다. 일차오차분석을 이용하여 수리매개변수와 수질매개변수의 수질항목별 상대적 기여도를 파악해 본 결과, 수리매개변수는 DO, BOD, 유기질소, 유기인 모든 항목에 일정 정도의 상대적 기여도를 가지고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이로부터 수질 모형의 적용 시 수리 매개변수 또한 수질 매개변수의 추정 시와 같이 보다 세심한 주의를 기울여 추정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A sigma-delta modulator based class-D audio amplifier is presented. Parallel digital input is serialized to two-bit output by a fourth-order digital sigma-delta noise shaper. The output of the digital sigma-delta noise shaper is applied to a fourth-order analog sigma-delta modulator whose three-level output drives power switches. The pulse density modulated (PDM) output of the power switches is low-pass filtered by an LC-filter. The PDM output of the power switches is fed back to the input of the analog sigma-delta modulator. The first integrator of the analog sigma-delta modulator is a hybrid of continuous-time (CT) and switched-capacitor (SC) integrator. While the sampled input is applied to SC path, the continuous-time feedback signal is applied to CT path to suppress the noise of the PDM output. The class-D audio amplifier is fabricated in a standard $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and operates for the signal bandwidth from 100-Hz to 20-kHz. With 4-${\Omega}$ load, the maximum output power is 18.3-mW. The total harmonic distortion plus noise and dynamic range are 0.035-% and 80-dB, respectively. The modulator consumes 457-uW from 1.2-V power supply.

Thermal distribution in soils must be considered in engineering designs and constructions, including estimates of frost heave and thaw settlement, infrastructure in cold regions, and geothermal systems. Because thermal conductivity is a key parameter for evaluation of thermal distribution in soils, it must be accurately estimated. The thermal conductivity of fine-grained soils has been widely studied in recent years; however, few studies have reported a reliable method for experimental measurement. The present study presents the results of an experimental investigation of the thermal conductivity of a saturated kaolinite-silica mixture with respect to the variation of dry density. Thermal conductivities were measured in Constant Rate of Strain (CRS) consolidation tests, and the experimental data were analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of the new measurement system. In addition, we present an evaluation method for predicting thermal conductivity in fine-grained soils.
