Spherical, ${\mu}m$-sized particles of barium titanyl oxalate were prepared by thermal decomposition of dimethyl oxalate in acidic barium and titanium solutions. Precipitation was carried out in the presence of several supporting anions. Spherical particles having a specific type of particle size distribution. i.e., unimodal or bimodal distribution, with mean size in the range of $0.2{\sim}3{\mu}m$, were formed depending on the supporting anions, oxalate ion generation rate and aging time. Particles of barium titanyl oxalate settled on the bottom of the beaker at the aging time of 120 min grew to the critical monosize of about $1.5{\sim}3{\mu}m$. XRD spectra and chemical analyses of barium titanate showed that barium titanyl oxalate with high qualities could be synthesized by choosing chloride ion as a supporting anion and increasing the reaction temperatures.

In this study, the effects of driver's neuroticism on situation awareness(SA), eye movement(EM), and driving performance were examined. In Experiment 1, in which static driving scenes were presented, it was found that the drivers of higher neuroticism showed shorter percentage of dwell time and less percentage of fixation counts for the peripheral area than those of lower neuroticism, although SA scores yielded no difference between the two neuroticism groups. In Experiment 2, differences in the drivers' driving performances as well as SA and EM as a function of neuroticism were compared using driving simulation. The results of Experiment 2 showed the followings. First, contrasting to Experiment 1, the high neuroticism group showed lower SA score than low neuroticism group. Second, the pattern of EM was similar to those of Experiment 1. Third, high neuroticism group deviated more from center of road, and drove slower than low neuroticism group.

This study investigated influence of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in natural organic matter (NOM) on the formation of organic chloramines upon monochloramination. Ratios of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to DON of the 16 NOM isolates ranged from 7 to 47 mg-C/mg-N. Levels of organic chloramines maxed in 24 hours at $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-N$ in average. The yields were relatively lower, but decay of organic chloramines were slower than those upon chlorination. Organic chloramines formed upon monochloramination decreased by 56% in average in 120 h. NOM with lower DOC/DON ratios formed more organic chloramines. NOM fractions such as hydrophobic, hydrophilic, transphilic, and colloidal did not significantly impact formation of organic chloramines. As the monochloramine doses increased, more organic chloramines were produced ($R^2=0.91$). Overestimation of disinfection capacity due to the formation of organic chloramines may not be concerns for monochloramine systems since only 6% of monochloramine could be converted to organic chloramines upon monochloramination of NOM.

For an efficient software download in cellular CDMA systems, session admission control based on area (SACA) is presented. In the SACA scheme, the base station only allows mobile terminal to start session when the mobile locates near the base station of a cell. A mobile that is located near cell center can request software download session, but the mobile that is far away from the center can request session only after arriving near the cell center. Session duration time follows exponential and Pareto distribution. Performance is analyzed in terms of handoff rate, mean channel holding time, session blocking probability and handoff forced termination probability. As analysis results, handoff rate between cells in the proposed scheme is reduced to 30 ~ 250 % compared to conventional scheme, according to traffic characteristics such as terminal speed, session duration time and the size of the allowable zone area in a cell for the start of the session. And new session blocking probability slightly decreases to 5 ~ 20 %, but handoff session forced termination probability drastically decreases to 35 ~ 220 %.

TETRA is the standard of Digital Trunked Radio System developed by the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). It is currently adopted as Electric Power IT Wireless Backbone Network in Korea, and a national enterprise is going on for versatile utilization of TETRA. To use TETRA wireless network, TETRA modem is very necessary such that performance measurements are very crucial for each TETRA modem by various manufacturers. In this paper, PED (Protocol Evaluation Data) is suggested for PD performance measurement in D-TRS wireless network environment. The performance measurements for different data lengths and transmission intervals are done using TG (Traffic Generator) on Test Bed. The data size is increased by 10 bytes from 10-byte to 400-byte, and it is measured 1,000 times for each transmission interval of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 seconds. Based on the transmission time measured, average transmission speed and MER (Message Error Rate) are derived for TETRA Modem performance measurement. Two TMR880i's of EADS are used for TETRA modem, and SwMI (Switching and Management Infrastructure) of EADS is used for switching system in this paper.

Using Lowson's acoustic analogy, low frequency noise of a wind turbine (WT) is predicted in time domain and the noise sources contributing to the low frequency noise is analyzed. To compute averaged pressure distribution on blades of the WT as noise source, XFOIL is utilized. The blade source domain is divided into several segments along the span direction to compute force exerted on air surrounding the blade segments, which is used as input for noise prediction. The noise sources are decomposed into three terms of force fluctuation, acceleration and velocity terms and are analyzed to investigate each spectral contribution. Finally, predicted spectra are compared with measured low frequency noise spectrum of a wind turbine in operation. It is found that the force fluctuation component contributes strongly in low frequency range with increasing wind speed.

Recently many informations are transmitted ,md stored as video data, and they are on the rapid increase because of popularization of high performance computer and internet. In this paper, to retrieve video data, shots are found through analysis of video stream and the method of detection of key frame is studied. Finally users can retrieve the video efficiently. This Paper suggests a new feature that is robust to object movement in a shot and is not sensitive to change of color in boundary detection of shots, and proposes the characterizing value that reflects the characteristic of kind of video (movie, drama, news, music video etc,). The key frames are pulled out from many frames by using the local minima and maxima of differential of the value. After original frame(not de image) are reconstructed for key frame, indexing process is performed through computing parameters. Key frames that arc similar to user's query image arc retrieved through computing parameters. It is proved that the proposed methods are better than conventional method from experiments. The retrieval accuracy rate is so high in experiments.

The rainfall pattern, rainfall intensity as well as topographical conditions used for the analysis of debris flow affect, in general, the magnitude of debris flow and flow velocity, when debris flow occurs. The consideration of topographical conditions implies that the topography is equally divided into grids and the slope of inside the grid is computed as an average, leading to, in turn, obtain the closer results to the reality as the grid is smaller in the case of the severely bended topography. Although the size of grid should be as small as possible so as for more accurate analysis of debris flow, the analysis of debris flow has been so far conducted by using sparsely divided grids due to the limitation of analysis algorithm, computational ability and running time. So, it is necessary to suggest an appropriate grid size for the practical approaches. Therefore, this study presents the evaluation of the effect of the size of a grid on the debris flow besides the factors which referred to the previous studies such as accumulated rainfall, rainfall intensity and rainfall duration time. From this, it enables to suggest a rational and practical grid size for topography to be divided.

The RDO (Rate Distortion Optimization) process of HEVC results in good coding efficiency, but relatively requires much encoding time. In order to reduce the encoding time of RDO process, this paper proposes a method of fast intra prediction mode decision using DCT coefficients distributions and the existence of DCT coefficients. The proposed fast Intra coding sets the number of intra prediction mode candidates to three(3) from the RMD (Rough Mode Decision) process in HM16.0 reference SW and reduces the number of candidates one more time by investigating DCT coefficients distribution. After that, if there exists a quantized DCT block having all zero coefficient values for a specific candidate before the RDO process, the candidate is chosen without the RDO process. The proposed method reduces the encoder complexity on average 46%, while the coding efficiency is 2.1% decreased compared with the HEVC encoder.

Using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a labelling aid, insulin--$^{126}$ I of radioimmunoassay use has been effectively prepared. A small amount of DMSO was added to usual labelling mixture ana the reaction time was controled. The labelled insulin obtained in such a way showed improved bindabilities to the antibody and thus expressed larger dose-gradients in the plots of standard dose-response curves even though the labelling rate was decreased to some extent. However, by extending the reaction time to about 1 min, average labelling yield of 30% could be obtained. The average increase of bindability (B/F) in definite antiserum dilution was 2.5 comparing with 1.5 obtained in the absence of DMSO. Thus, the net bindability increase was 70% of those obtained in tile absence of DMSO. By means of a NMR spectrometry, it has been confirmed that the DMSO in the labelling mixtutre is converted to dimethylsulfone by chloramine-T. The results, generally agreed with the Stags's postulation, were discussed in view of a competitive oxidation of DMSO with disulfide linkages of the insulin molecule by the chloramine-T.
