Tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) and silica nanopowder were synthesized from the waste silicon sludge containing 15% weight of silicon powder. TMOS, a precursor of silica nanopowder, was firstly prepared from the waste silicon sludge by catalytic chemical reaction. The maximum recovery of the TMOS was 100% after 5 hrs regardless of reaction temperature above $130^{\circ}C$. But the initial reaction rate became faster while the reaction temperature was higher than $150^{\circ}C$. As the methanol feedrate Increased from 0.8 ml/min to 1.4 ml/min, the yield of reaction was not varied after 3 hrs. Then, silica nanopowder was synthesized from the synthesized TMOS by flame spray pyrolysis. The morphology of as-prepared silica nanopowder was spherical and non-aggregated. The average particle diameters ranged from 9 nm to 30 nm and were in proportional to the precursor feed rate, and precursor concentration.

A change of filtrate flux in Taylor vortex flow filtration was investigated experimentally by rotating speed of inner cellulose ester membrane cylinder (average pore size: 1.2 ${\mu}m$), slurry concentration, and particle size. The filtrate flux was a direct proportion relation with TMP, but an inverse relation with resistances. A change of cake resistance with time was examined by rotating speed, slurry concentration, and particle size. Initial resistance increased dramatically as raising slurry concentration, and the pseudo-steady state was maintained at high resistance value. However, times to reach the pseudo-steady state did not depend on slurry concentration. The resistance was larger as smaller particle size, because possibility of pore blocking inside membrane could be higher and shear effect should be lower as smaller particle size. A model equation suggested in this study was composed of particle deposition and removal terms, and could confirm well experimental data using average values of experimental coefficients.

This study experimentally investigates the performance improvement of the heat pump by adopting the hot gas bypass method and using the internal heat exchanger according to the automatic defrost test conditions of ISO 5151 This study compares the hot gas bypass method with the time step method, and investigates effect on outdoor coil fan speed when the hot gas of compressor outlet enter outdoor coil inlet after the frost formation. The tests were made for the fan speeds of the outdoor coil controlled at 90, 60 and 30% of the normal speed together with the case of the stationary fan. The performance of the heat pump is evaluated by variables such as COP, heat capacity, and the average COP during the 210 minutes heating mode. Results show that average COP of the hot gas bypass mettled is $2.2{\sim}6%$ higher than that of the time step method. When the outdoor coil fan speed is 60% (780 rpm) of the normal speed, it shows the best COP and heating capacity.

In this paper, network selection algorithm for services of mobile IPTV(internet protocol television) and implementation of a hierarchical processing system for reducing overload by terminal with low speed is proposed. This algorithm selects the network according to the following priorities derived from formulas; value that uses remaining bandwidth, network cost, signal strength. If terminal has a low processing power for using selected network and TV service, quality of service declines due to the system overloading. Hence, we implemented system which processes selected network and TV services accomplished by layer divided. Through experiments results, the method of direct user network selection waits for bandwidth assignment. However, on the one hand, that waiting time in exhausted situation will be very long. On the other hand, if we consider the priority plot of used networks, we should select the network with the best state. Therefore, data transmission rate will keep on average and the waiting time will be low.

This study analyzed several storm events observed in the Seolma-chun basin to derive the characteristic velocity of GIUH (Geomophological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) as well as its variability. Especially, this study focused on the variation of characteristic velocity due to the change of rainfall characteristics. The IUH of the Seolma-chun basin was derived using the HEC-1, whose peak discharge and time were then compared with those of the GIUH to derive the characteristic velocities. The characteristics velocities were analyzed by comparing with the GcIUH (Geomorphoclimatic IUH) as well as the characteristics of rainfall. Results are summarized as follows. (1) The characteristic velocity of GIUH was estimated higher with higher variability than the GcIUH, but their trends were found similar (2) Total amount of effective rainfall (or, mean effective rainfall) well explains the characteristic velocity of GIUH. This could be assured by the regression analysis, whose coefficient of determination was estimated about 0.6. (3) The duration and the maximum intensity of rainfall were found not to affect significantly on the characteristic velocity of GIUH. The coefficients of determination were estimated less than 0.3 for all cases considered. (4) For the rainfall events used in this study, the characteristic velocities of GIUH were found to follow the Gaussian distribution with its mean and the standard deviation 0.402 m/s and 0.173 m/s, respectively. Most of the values are within the range of 0.4∼0.5 m/s, and its coefficient of variation was estimated to be 0.43, much less than that of the runoff itself (about 1.0).

Traffic speed is an important measure in transportation. It can be employed for various purposes, including traffic congestion detection, travel time estimation, and road design. Consequently, accurate speed prediction is essential in the development of intelligent transportation systems. In this paper, we present an analysis and speed prediction of a certain road section in Busan, South Korea. In previous works, only historical data of the target link are used for prediction. Here, we extract features from real traffic data by considering the neighboring links. After obtaining the candidate features, linear regression, model tree, and k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) are employed for both feature selection and speed prediction. The experiment results show that k-NN outperforms model tree and linear regression for the given dataset. Compared to the other predictors, k-NN significantly reduces the error measures that we use, including mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE).

The study examines the shearing and crushing characteristics of land-derived subaqueous granular materials in a gravel-bed river. A series of large-sized ring shear tests were performed to examine the effect of shear time and shear velocity on the shear stress characteristics of aquarium gravels with a 6-mm mean grain size. Three different shear velocities (i.e., 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mm/sec) were applied to measure the shear stress under the drained (long-term shearing) and undrained (short-term shearing) conditions. Different initial shear velocities, i.e., 0.01→0.1→1 mm/sec and 0.1→0.01→1 mm/sec, were considered in this study. The test results show that the grain crushing effect is significant regardless of drainage conditions. The shear stress of coarse-grained materials is influenced by initial shear velocities, regardless of the drainage conditions. In particular, particle breakage increases as grain size increases. The shearing time and initial shear velocity are the primary influencing factors determining the shear stress of gravels. The granular materials may be broken easily into particles through frictional resistance, such as abrasion, interlocking and fracture due to the particle-particle interaction, resulting in the high mobility of granular materials in a subaqueous environment.

밭작물 중 양파와 마늘은 높은 노동투하시간, 노임의 상승, 복잡한 수거 과정 등으로 최근 재배면적이 감소하는 추세이다. 밭농업 활성화 방안으로 생산비 절감과 작업 속도 향상을 위한 수확기계 개발 연구로 줄기절단기가 개발되었다. 이 연구는 줄기절단기 예취날의 설치각이 절단부하에 미치는 영향을 분립체 해석 기법으로 분석하고자 하였다. 실험에 사용한 시뮬레이션은 EDEM으로 인장탄성계수, 전단탄성 계수, 중첩길이, 입자 반경 및 질량, 상대속도를 이용하여 충돌시 힘을 해석하고 인장 및 전단강도, 한계, 결합 길이를 통해 입자간 결합을 설정할 수 있다. 시제품으로 설계된 줄기절단기의 치수를 활용하여 프로그램 상에서 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 절단부하 결과를 얻도록 하였고 칼날 설치각을 30도, 45도, 60도로 변경하여 각각의 부하를 분석하여 경향성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험에서 사용한 프로그램은 EDEM 2.7.1 Academic Research 버전이며 시뮬레이션을 진행한 PC의 사양은 Intel(R) $Core^{TM}$ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, Memory 16.0GB이다. 줄기 절단 시뮬레이션에 적용시킨 줄기 모델은 마늘의 조건을 적용시켜 직경 1mm의 입자로 이루어진 지름 12mm, 높이 214mm의 원통형 모델이며 60.32N의 최대절단력을 가지고 있다. 줄기절단기는 2개의 회전날을 가지고 있으나 좌우대칭을 적용하여 절반에 대한 해석으로 하나의 회전날로 절단을 하도록 줄기 모델은 4조로 하여 3열을 140mm 간격으로 위치시켰다. 줄기절단기의 칼날은 반경 350mm로 회전하며 진행속도는 1.65m/s, 회전속도는 1680rpm으로 작업하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션은 0.5초의 시간에 대해 해석하도록 하였으며 0.003초 간격으로 칼날에 가해지는 힘을 구하여 저장하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 해석시간은 약 116시간이었으며 설치각별 시간에 따른 칼날에 가해지는 압축력 값과 그래프를 얻을 수 있었다. 대부분의 시간에서 절단이 이루어지지 않으므로 0의 값을 나타내었으며 절단이 이루어지는 시점에 절단부하가 나타났다. 결과 해석을 위해 그래프의 피크 값들을 이용하였으며 그 중 상위 6개의 값으로 분석하였다. 30도, 45도, 60도의 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 평균 값은 각각 105.4N, 160.5N, 215.9N으로 나타났다. 설치각에 따른 절단부하의 경향성은 유의수준은 3.93%로 각각의 차이가 유의미하게 나타났으며 상관계수는 0.489로 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 그러나 $R^2$는 0.2394로 낮은 값을 보여 데이터 처리 방법의 개선과 적절한 회귀 모델의 적용이 필요하다. 향후 포장시험을 진행하고 복합적으로 분석하여 경향성을 자세히 분석하고자 한다.
