The purpose of The work described in this paper is to clear up the initial moisture content, specific surface, air drying and freezing-thawing process on liquid limit of clayey soils distributed widely at estuary of three main rivers in the west coast. To this end, a series of tests were conducted on clayey soils samples with natural state and treated state. From the test results, the liquid limit was decreased with decrement of initial moisture content, air drying process, and freezing-thawing cycles and increased with increment of specific surface. The specific surface which influenced on the liquid limit is over $25 m^2$m$^2$/g, and their relationships are well formulated. Air drying process is expected to improve the engineering properties of the soils such the pro-water properties were changed to anti-water proper-ties through lowering of water holding as resulted to incline from A-7-5 to A-5 on the soil classificaction plastic chart. The freezing-thawing process decreased 20% of liquid limit, especially under the first cycle of the behavious, as a result of above mentioned reasons, phase change of soil-water system brought the decrement of specific surface and affected to the liquid limit.

Position information is very important when driving the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM). Generally, resolver is used to obtain exact position information. However, it generates periodic position errors due to the transformer ratio difference and excitation signal distortion. When the vector control is done with the position information that includes position error, torque ripple is generated from time to time. This paper proposes the solution through analysis of above problem. Also, it's validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

The dynamic characteristics of Control Element Drive Mechanism(CEDM) for Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant are studied with the CEDM modeled as a secondary mass in a simplified two degree of freedom system, while the reactor vessel as a primary mass. The optimal .mu.-f curve is developed to reduce the response amplitudes of both primary and secondary masses. In order to improve a design it is proposed that the natural frequency ratio, f, should be converged to 0.93, the mass ratio, .mu., should not be reduced, and the result should be converged to the optimal .mu.-f curve. Optimal design for CEDM components has been carried out and the response amplitude ratios of reactor are reduced 10.5 - 19.7% while those of CEDM are reduced 6.3 - 3.4%.

In discontinuous composite mechanics, shear lag theory is one of the most popular model because of its simplicity and accuracy. However, it does not provide sufficiently accurate strengthening predictions in elastic regime then the fiber aspect ratio is small. This is due to its neglect of stress transfer across the fiber ends and the stress concentrations that exist in the matrix regions near the fiber ends. To overcome this shortcoming, a more simplified shear lag model introducing the stress concentration factor which is a function of several variables, such as the modulus ratio, the fiber volume fraction, the fiber aspect ratio, is proposed. It is found that the modulus ratio($E_f$/$E_m$) is the essential variable among them. Thus, the stress concentration factor is expressed as a function of modulus ratio in the derivation. It is found that the proposed model gives a good agreement with finite element results and has the capability to correctly predict the values of interfacial shear stresses and local stress variations in the small fiber aspect ratio regime.

In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out at stress test levels of 461 MPa, 441 MPa, and 431 MPa by using smooth specimen of$2_{1/4}$ Cr-1 Mo steel with the stress ratio(R) of 0.05. The initiation, growth and coalescense process of the major cracks and sub-cracks among the fatigue cracks on the smooth specimen are investigated and measured under each stress level at a constant cycle ratio by the replica technique with optical microscope. Some of the important results are as follows: In spite of the difference of stress levels, the major crack data gather into a small band in the curve of surface crack length and crack depth against cycle ratio N/Nf. The sub-crack data, however, deviate from the band of the major crack. The growth rates, da/dN, of major and sub-crack plotted against the stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$, have the tendency to be compressed on a relatively small band. But it is more effective to predict fatigue life through major cracks. The propagation behavior of surface microcracks on the smooth specimens coincides with that of the specimen having an artificial small surface defect or through crack.

Material functions about effective stress, permeability, coefficient of consolidation and coefficient of volume change has important role to predict consolidation velocity and settlement of soft ground. Modified oedometer for radial drainage is adapted to find out material functions on laboratory tests. Undisturbed sample for laboratory tests were taken from construction sites of industrial complexes on southern coastal area which consists of upper dredged fill and lower original clay layer. For different drainage condition in consolidation process void ratio, effective stress, permeability, coefficient of consolidation and coefficient of volume change has been assessed with results of existing standard oedometer tests. It is worthwhile to note that consolidation material functions could be expressed as regression equation by Stark (2005), heterogeneity for permeability could be assessed from these relationships.

Film cooling performance from two rows of holes with opposite orientation angles is evaluated in terms of heat flux ratio. The film cooling hole has a fixed inclination angle of 35°and orientation angle of 45°for the downstream row and -45°for the upstream row. Four film cooling hole arrangements including inline and staggered configurations are investigated. The blowing ratio studied was 1.0. Boundary layer temperature distributions are measured to investigate injectant behaviors and mixing characteristics. Detailed distributions of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and the heat transfer coefficient are measured using TLC(Thermochromic Liquid Crystal). For the inline configuration, there forms a downwash flow at the downstream hole exit to make the injectant well attach to the wall, which gives high adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient. The evaluation of heat flux ratio shows that the inline configuration gives better film cooling performance with the help of the downwash flow at the downstream hole exits.

Experimental results are presented, which describe the effect of blowing ratio on film cooling from two rows of holes with opposite orientation angles. The inclination angle is fixed at 35°, and the orientation angles are set to be 45°for the downstream row, and -45°for the upstream row. The studied blowing ratios are 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The boundary layer temperature distributions are measured using thermocouple at two downstream locations. Detailed adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are measured with TLC(Thermochromic Liquid Crystal). The adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are discussed in connection with the injectant behaviors inferred from the boundary layer temperature distributions. Film cooling performance, represented by heat flux is evaluated from the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient data. The results show that the investigated geometry provides improved film cooling performance at the high blowing ratios of 1.0 and 2.0.

Lines bred for resistance to Phytophthora capsici by incorporation of resistance to P. capsici in PI201234 or CM334 into 'Subi' and 'Chilseong', land races in Youngyang, and 'Punggak', a land race in Cheongdo in Gyeungbuk province, and lines bred for fortification of one of them above with resistance to viral complex, and tolerant selections from another landrace collection from Punggak (KC268) were evaluated for resistance to P. capsici by inoculation at seedling stage. Almost all the breeding lines showed high level of resistance to P. capsid and selections from KC268 showed tolerance or moderate resistance to P. capsid. The selected plants were grown in a net cage in an outdoor nursery for seed production. Utilization of the lines in breeding was discussed.

The study was carried out to develop efficiency of transformantion in pepper plants. We used cotyledons of two native varieties, 'Subicho' and 'Kumtap' to establish some conditions of plant regeneration. Differentiation rate of shoot was higher in 2 to 4 mg/l zeatin and 0.05 mg/l NAA than in other treatments. Meanwhile, differential rate of roots was the highest in 0.5 mg/l NAA.
