A problem of ground subsidence has been a focus of our research over the past 3 years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the disturbed stratigraphic structure by mining and to separate the possible ground subsidence area using shallow seismic reflection survey and processing. To overcome the problems such as the distortion and attenuation of seismic signal caused by ground disturbance and to acquire the high frequency data, an array with short spacing (0.3m) for both the shot and receivers, yielding near-offset (<30m) and CMP spacing of 0.15m was implemented. Data were acquired along the survey line with length of about 43m by fixed receiver array. By considering statics caused by the ground disturbance and offset distribution of data, careful processing steps such as muting and residual statics correction were applied for successful shallow reflection imaging. By correlating the ground subsidence data and stack section, possible subsidence zone could be interpreted quantitatively.

From 329 earthquake data in the Korean Peninsula, we separated the intrinsic and scattering quality factor ($Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$) using the Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis (MLTW) method. For the homogeneous velocity structure, $Q_i^{-1}$ reduces the amplitudes of both direct and coda waves; $Q_s^{-1}$ diminishes the direct wave amplitude but enlarges the coda wave amplitude. Based on this phenomenon, MLTW method analytically derives theoretical curves and obtains $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ by least square fit with observation curves. This study is the first approach for the seismic stable region by MLTW method, and show that $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ in the Korean Peninsula are very low at lower than frequencies of 5 Hz. This low value seems to be related to the inactive tectonism of the Korean Peninsula.

InAs 는 광전자 및 광통신 소자에 널리 이용되는 $In_xGa_{1-x}As_yP_{1-y}$ 화합물의 endpoint 로서, Heterojunction Field-Effect Transistors (HEMTs), Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) 등에 중요하게 이용되고, 다양한 소자의 기판으로도 폭넓게 사용되는 물질이다. InAs 의 반도체 소자로의 응용을 위해서는 정확한 광 특성과 밴드갭 값들이 필수적이며, 분광타원편광분석법(ellipsometry) 을 이용한 상온 InAs 유전율 함수는 이미 정확히 알려져 있다. 그러나 상온에서는 $E_2$ 전이점 영역에서 여러 개의 밴드갭들이 중첩되어 있어, 밴드구조계산 등에 필수적인 InAs의 전이점을 정확히 정의하기 어렵다. 또한, 현재의 산업계에서 중요하게 여겨지는 실시간 모니터링을 위해서는 증착온도에서의 유전율 함수 데이터베이스가 필수적이다. 이와 같은 필요성에 의해, 22 K - 700 K 의 온도범위에서 InAs 의 유전율 함수와 밴드갭 에너지에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. InAs bulk 기판을 methanol, acetone, DI water 등으로 세척 한 뒤, 저온 cryostat 에 부착하였다. 분광타원분석법은 표면의 오염에 매우 민감하기 때문에, 저온에서의 응결 방지를 위해 고 진공도를 유지하며, 액체 헬륨으로 냉각하였다. 0.7 - 6.5 eV 에너지 영역에서 측정이 가능한 분광타원편광분석기로 측정한 결과, 온도가 증가함에 따라 열팽창과 phonon-electron 상호작용효과의 증가에 의해, 밴드갭 에너지 값의 적색 천이와 밴드갭들의 중첩을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 정확한 밴드갭 에너지 값의 분석을 위하여 2계 미분을 통한 표준 밴드갭 해석법을 적용하였으며, 22 K 의 저온에서는 $E_2$ 전이점 영역에서 중첩된 여러 개의 밴드갭들을 분리 할 수 있었다. 또한 고온에서의 연구를 통해, 실시간 분석을 위한 InAs 유전함수의 데이터베이스를 확립하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 InAs 를 기반으로 한 광전자 소자의 개발 및 적용분야와 밴드갭 엔지니어링 분야에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 예상한다.

In Space contains valuable natural resources. These provide a compelling reason for entrepreneurs, investors, and governments to pursue space exploration and settlement. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet. Article II of the Outer Space Treaty states that "outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means." The U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act of 2015 (CSLCA), however, makes significant advances in furthering U.S. commercial space industry, which explicitly allows U.S. citizens to engage in the commercial exploration and exploitation of 'space resources' including water and minerals. Thus, some scholars argue that the United States recognizing ownership of space resources is an act of sovereignty, and that the act violates the Outer Space Treaty. This paper suggests that it is necessary to guarantee the right to resources harvested in outer space. More specifically, a private ownership of extracted space resources needs to promote new space business and industry. As resources on Earth become increasingly difficult and expensive to mine, it is clear that our laws and policies must encourage private appropriation of space resources. CSLCA which addresses all aspects of space resource extraction will be one way to encourage space commercial activity.

In Korea, the methods of estimating groundwater recharge can categorized into two groups. One is baseflow separation method by means of groundurater recession curve, the other is water level fluctuation method by using the data from groundwater monitoring wells. Baseflow separation method is based on annual recharge and lumped concept, and water-table fluctuation method is largely dependent on monitoring wells rather than water budget in watershed. However, groundwater recharge rate shows the spatial-temporal variability due to climatic condition, land use and hydrogeological heterogeneity, these methods have various limits to deal with these characteristics. For this purpose, the method of estimating daily recharge rate with spatial variability based on distributed rainfall-runoff model is suggested in this study. Instead of representative recharge rate of large watershed, the subdivided recharge rate with heterogeneous characteristics can be computed in daily base. The estimated daily recharge rate is an advanced quantity reflecting the heterogeneity of hydrogeology, climatic condition, land use as well as physical behaviour of water in soil layers. Therefore, the newly suggested method could be expected to enhance existing methods.

Fly ash was composed of the unburned carbon and mineral particles. The former was able to attach on the bubbles, while the latter was not. Therefore, it was possible to separate the unburned carbon and the mineral from fly ash using the froth flotation process. This study was carried out to evaluate the separation efficiency as a function of the ny ash particle properties in the column flotation. Separation efficiency was analyzed for various size fraction of -38 fm,38~125 fm and 1125 W, and for various fly ash samples containing 7, 11, and 20 wt% unburned carbon. For the size fractions of -38 fm containing 7 wt% unburned carbon, separation efficiency was 86ft, whereas separation efficiency was found to be 74% for the size fraction of +125$\mu\textrm{m}$ containing 20 wt% unburned carbon. The results indicated that separation efficiency increased with the decrease in the particle size and the unburned carbon content of the fly ash.

Multiple Lapse Time Window (MLTW) analysis for obtaining intrinsic attenuation value require numerous data without directional bias to compensate focal mechanism. The first window of MLTW, therefore, shows large deviation in fitting smoothed theoretical curve. The information on the focal mechanism may reduce burdens of number and distribution. This study combined algorithm of computing focal mechanism to DSMC method by Yoshimoto (2000). However, the MLTW method based on the numerous data was not applicable to this study, because of the limited data to the almost same fault plane solution. This study showed that the available data was too insufficient to construct smoothed theoretical curve, although the deviation of the first window was improved. Instead of conventional solution by more data, the study seems to be needed for new constraints to obtain smoothed curve.

To detect islanding mode when the grid is being tripped is a major safety issue in the Utility Interactive Photo Voltaic (UIPV) system. In this paper, analytical design method is suggested for AFD & RPV method under IEEE 929-2000 recommended islanding test condition. We have discussed that there is a same point. we injected reactive component of the current by AFD & RPV methods, but the current reference generated is other waveform. Possible if amount of reactive components in this methods are same each method, there is happened same rates frequency variation. To verify the validity of the analytical comparison, this paper presents simulation and experimental results from single phase, 3[kW] inverter for the transformerless UIPV system.

The particle dispersion in the turbulent mixing layer has been numerically investigated to clarify the effect of the velocity ratio in the large-scale vortical structures. In this study the LES with subgrid-scale model is employed. The Lagrangian method to predict the particle motion is applied. The particles of 10, 50, 150, 200${\mu}m$ in mean diameter were loaded into the origin of the mixing layer. It is shown that the characteristics of flow and growth rate are strongly dependent on the variation of the velocity ratio. It is also shown the relationship between the Stokes number and the particle dispersion. As a result, in the case of St~1 the particle dispersion is faster than the diffustion of the flow field while in the cases of both St<<1 and St>>1 it is shown that the particle dispersion in lower than the diffusion of the flow filed.

The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear algorithm for the dynamic interaction analysis of KTX trains and bridge girders with consideration of separation and flange contact phenomena between wheel and rail. For this, three interaction models between wheel-rail are implemented and compared through numerical examples. That is, the spring model and the non-jump model are briefly explained, and a nonlinear contact model is then proposed to accurately simulate interaction forces of the train-bridge system. Dynamic interaction analysis of a simply supported girder and trains is performed and the analyzed results are presented and compared for the proposed contact model and the other model types. Particularly, flange contact phenomena in the nonlinear contact model are demonstrated under a specific condition.
