A value can be placed on the integrated science curriculum in terms of producing an insight into solving the routine problem. From such a point of view, the comprehensive concepts which explain the extensive natural phenomena were defined as the integrated themes in this study, and the contents of the integrated science curriculum were developed, as the understanding of the contents focused on the integrated theme enables us to be productive and have an insight. Through analyzing teaching materials, programs and curriculums in relation to the integrated science, five concepts of system, interaction, harmony and balance, structure and function, and circulation were established as the integrated themes, and the nature of each integrated theme was examined. Next, in accordance with the integrated theme, the content of the integrated science curriculum,which are deeper in aspect of the integration level than that of the current science of middle school, were developed. The content of the integrated science curriculum which was proposed in this study is of great significance. in that they provide new perspectives related to our current science curriculum.

In this study, numerical calculation is carried out to investigate the influence of injection timing, fuel amount, intake $O_2$ concentration, and EGR on Nitric Oxide(NO) formation using a two-zone model in a diesel engine. Results can be summarized as follows. The NO formation is very sensitive to the burned gas temperature, so multi-zone model must be applied to combustion process to predict the burned gas temperature exactly. Since the burned gas temperature increases rapidly during the premixed combustion, most NO is formed within 20 crank angle degrees after ignition. As the injection timing is retarded, the combustion occurs later in the expansion process which causes the decrease of burned gas temperature and, as a result, NO formation decrease. The increase of fuel amount results in the increase of earlier formation of NO in the engine. As the intake $O_2$ concentration increases, the maximum pressure and burned gas temperature increase due to activate combustion. And, [O] mole fraction of equilibrium combustion products also increase. Therefore NO exponentially increases. If exhaust gas is recirculated, the burned gas temperature decreases which results in NO decrease. If exhaust gas is cooled, more NO can be decreased.

In this paper, we introduced the design technique about a Ka band receive module for millimeter wave seekers. The receiver module consists of a waveguide, circulator and transition for antenna connection, and a limiter and gain control amplifier for receiver protection. This module is comprised of a sum, azimuth and elevation channel for receiving monopules signal, and a SLB channel for the acquisition of jamming signal. In this paper, receiver gain and range of gain control dependent on ADC nonlinear characteristic was analyzed and designed for wide dynamic range receive. In the test result of the fabricated Ka-band receive, the frequency band is 1 GHz, the noise figure is as low as 8.2 dB, the gain is $56{\pm}2dB$, the dynamic range is 135 dB, the gain congtrol is more than 86 dB, the channel isolation is more than 35 dB.

An improved 2-D quadrature polar separable (QPS) filter and its applications to texture processing are discussed in thie paper. The frequency response of the filter consists of two independent parts. The first is a radial weighting function based on the prolate spheridal sequence(PSS). The second is the same orientational function of the angle as in the Knutsson filter. The new filter is suboptimal in the energy loss because we let the polar angle function approximate the radial weighting function as in the 2-D Cartesian filter composed of two PSS's. It is easy to control as it depends only upon the design specification of the bandwidth, the drectional agnle, and the central freqneucy. Also the filter is circularly more symmetric in the frequency domain than the Knutsson filter. In order to estimate the orientation and the frequency component of loca textures in the frequency domain, some applications of the new filter, such as the generation of synthetic textures, the estimation of texture orientations, and texture segementations, are discussed.

Double-binary turbo code has been adopted as an error control code of various future communication systems including wireless metropolitan area networks(WMAN) due to its powerful error correction capability. One of the components affecting the performance of turbo code is internal interleaver. In 802.16 d/e system, an almost regular permutation(ARP) interleaver has been included as a part of specification, however it seems that the interleaver is not optimized in terms of decoding performance. In this paper, we propose three optimization methods for the interleaver based on spatial distance, spread and minimum distance between original and interleaved sequence. We find optimized interleaving parameters for each optimization method and evaluate the performances of the proposed methods by computer simulation under additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel. Optimized parameters can provide up to 1.0 dB power gain over the conventional method and furthermore the obtainable gain does not require any additional hardware complexity.

This paper describes the method for detecting vehicles in the rear and rear-side at night by using headlight features. A headlight is the outstanding feature that can be used to discriminate a vehicle from a dark background. In the segmentation process, a night image is transformed to a binary image that consists of black background and white regions by gray-level thresholding, and noise in the binary image is eliminated by a morphological operation. In the feature extraction process, the geometric features and moment invariant features of a headlight are defined, and they are measured in each segmented region. Regions that are not appropriate to a headlight are filtered by using geometric feature measurement. In region classification, a pair of headlights is detected by using relational features based on the symmetry of a pair of headlights. Experimental results show that this method is very applicable to an approaching vehicle detection system at nighttime.

Recently, there has been a lot of research on graph-type data because it can model seamless the application domains such as GIS, network, WWW, multimedia presentations etc., and domain in which the data sequence is important. In this paper, an efficient code system, called node code system, is proposed to evaluate paths of DAG in a multimedia presentation graph. The node code system assigns a unique binary string to each node of a graph. The comparison of node codes of two nodes tells the connectivity between the nodes without actual traversal of a graph. The method using the property of the node code system allows us to construct the paths between two nodes more efficiently than the method using conventional graph traversals. The algorithms to construct paths using the node code system are provided.

In this study, we Presented computational results on the blood flow in the sac of the Korean artificial heart. Two dimensional unsteady flow was assumed and we utilized a finite element commercial code ADINA to simulate the blood flow. Rigid body-solid contact were considered between the actuator and the blood sac and fluid-structure interaction between the blood and the sac. The three geometric models proposed in the design process were simulated to assess the hemodynamic characteristics of the models According to the computational results, a strong flow to the outlet and a stagnated flow region near the inlet were observed during systole. The sac was filled with blood and recirculating flow was generated near the outlet during diastole. Shear stress during systole had its extreme values near the outlet edge whereas the magnitude of shear stress values were relative)v high near the inlet edge and the contacting surface with the actuator.

The critical path has been widely applied to many areas of computer engineering especially a directed acyclic graph. Its concept can also be useful in the context of a workflow. The workflow critical path is defined as a path which has the longest average execution time from the start activity to the end activity of workflow. Because there can be several concurrently executed workflow instances for a specific workflow a new method to determine the critical path should be developed. In this paper we specify our workflow queuing network model from which we can easily analyze many workflow characteristics. Based on this workflow model. we propose a method to identify the critical path In addition, we show come workflow areas which can utilze the critical path.

우리나라의 다양한 수계에서는 배스로 대표되는 외래어종의 유입에 따른 심각한 생태계 교란이 발생하고 있다. 외래어종은 활발한 먹이활동 및 영역다툼을 통해 우리나라 고유종의 섭취 및 경쟁 우위에 위치하고 있다는 것이 많은 보도를 통해 발표되었다. 본 연구에서는 외래어종 중 배스(Large mouth bass)에 초점을 두고 동계 및 춘계의 서식처 특성을 살펴본다. 다양한 수계 중 갇혀있는 시스템으로 간주할 수 있는 농업용 저수지에 초점을 맞추고 현장조사를 실시한다. 하지만 현장조사 중 일부는 강과 같이 열린 서식처 공간도 포함하고 있다. 본 연구는 배스가 동면을 하지 않는 대신 수온에 큰 영향을 받으며 저수온기의 서식활동을 지속한다는 가정 하에 수온과 배스가 활동하는 영역의 상관성을 이해하고자 하였다. 조사는 국내 4개 지점 이상에서 이루어졌으며 수심 20 m 정도의 깊은 저수지에서부터 하수종말처리장에서 처리수가 유입되는 도시형 하천까지 포함한다. 이 중 수심 20 m 정도의 농업용 저수지에서는 7회 이상의 정밀 조사를 수행하여 수심별, 수온별 배스의 서식특성을 이해할 수 있도록 집중조사를 실시하였다. 현장조사 결과 배스는 $1-2^{\circ}C$의 수온차에도 민감하게 반응하며 서식처를 형성한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 수온의 평면적 분포는 서식처의 형성에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며 수온 안정기인 동계의 경우는 수온 종분포에 따라 군락을 형성하며 서식층을 결정한다는 점도 유추된다. 4월 중순 이후의 춘계는 배스의 산란기로 종확산에 큰 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 시기이다. 이 시기 이후 하계에는 다시 부화한 개체가 독립적으로 서식처를 이동하는 또다른 종확산의 시기이다. 따라서 계절별에 따른 보다 면밀하고 지속적인 조사를 통해 4계절 순환에 따른 배스의 서식 특성 변화를 조사하는 과정이 필수적으로 이루어져야 한다.
