A load-cell-type anemovane operates based on wind vector properties. The developed load-cell-type anemovane is of a fixed type in which the wing does not rotate, unlike in the case of existing anemovanes. The load-cell-type anemovane is required to accurately derive the correlation between the load ratio and the wind direction in order to develop a qualified product. This is because the load ratio repeats every $90^{\circ}$ owing to the use of four load cells, and its value varies nonlinearly according to the wind direction. In this study, we compared analytical results with experimental results. Fluid analysis was carried out using ANSYS CFX. Furthermore, the prototype was tested using a self-manufactured wind tunnel. The wind direction was selected as the design variable. 13 selected wind direction conditions ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with an interval of $7.5^{\circ}$ for analysis were defined. Furthermore, 10 wind direction conditions with an interval of $10^{\circ}$ for the experiment were defined. We derived the relations between the pressure ratio and the wind direction through the experiment and fluid analysis.

Debris flow is one of the most hazardous natural processes in mountainous regions. The degradation of discharge capacity of drainage facilities due to debris flows may result in damages of properties and casualty as well as road. Understanding and accurate reproducing flow behaviour of debris flows at various conditions, such as sediment volume concentration and approaching channel and culvert slopes, are prerequisite to develop advanced design criteria for drainage facilities to prevent such damages. We carried out a series of laboratory experiments of debris flows in a rectangular channel of constant width with an abrupt change of bottom slope. The experimental flume consists of an approaching channel part with the bed slope ranging $15^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$ and the test channel with slope ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $12^{\circ}$ which mimics a typical drainage culvert. The experiments have been conducted for 22 test cases with various flow conditions of channel slopes and sediment volume concentration of debris flows to investigate those effects on the behaviour of debris flows. The results show that, according to sediment volume concentration, the depth of debris flow is approximately 50% to 150% larger than that of fresh water flow at the same flow rate. Experimental results quantitatively present that flow behaviour and deposit history of debris flows in the culvert depend on the slopes of the approaching and drainage channels and sediment volume concentration. Based on the experimental results, furthermore, a logistic model is developed to find the optimized culvert slope which prevents the debris flow from depositing in the culvert.

대하천 사업 이후 국내에서 경험하지 못한 대규모 다기능 보가 설치되었으며, 이로 인해 기존 하천에 서식하던 어류들의 군집, 이동 및 환경의 변화가 발생할 수 있으며, 산란을 위해 상류로 이동하거나 하류로 이동하려는 어류들에게는 상당히 큰 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 최소화하기 위해 다기능 보에는 대규모 어도가 설치되었으며, 다양한 흐름해석 모형을 이용하여 어도의 유인효율평가에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 이를 검증할 수 있는 실험적 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 어도의 유인효율평가에 있어 어도입구부 유속장 측정이 중요하다. 하지만 어도 입구부에 대한 접근성은 용이하지 못 할 뿐만 아니라, 기존에 사용하던 ADCP 장비로는 유속장 측정에 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 드론영상을 활용한 LS-PIV기법과 GPS전자부자를 활용할 필요가 있다고 판단하였고, GPS전자부자를 어도 입구부에서 일정시간 유하시키는 동시에 드론영상촬영을 활용해 LS-PIV기법을 적용하여 유속을 측정하였다. 그 결과 LS-PIV기법을 적용한 실험이 주 흐름영역에서 안정적인 결과를 보였다. 본 실험 결과를 통해 새로운 유속 계측 방안을 보여줌으로써 접근성 및 안전성에 대한 효율적인 실험계측 방법을 제시하리라 사료된다.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of geochemical approaches for investigating and assessing heavy metal contamination in abandoned mine sites. Major sources of contaminants at the abandoned mine sites are mine water, waste rocks, tailings, and chemicals used in beneficiation and mineral processing. Soil, sediment, surface and ground water, and ecological system can be contaminated by heavy metals, which are transported due to erosion of mine waste piles, discharge of acid mine drainage and processed water, and dispersion of dust from waste rocks and tailings. The abandoned mine sites should be characterized using various methods including chemical analysis, mineralogical analysis, acid generation prediction tests, leaching/extraction tests, and field tests. Potential and practical environmental impacts from the abandoned mines should be assessed based on the site characterization.

It has been reported and verified in many design experiences that a judicious utilization of the page and burst access modes supported by DRAMs contributes a great reduction in not only the DRAM access latency but also DRAM's energy consumption. Recently, researchers showed that a careful arrangement of data variables in memory directly leads to a maximum utilization of the page and burst access modes for the variable accesses, but unfortunately, found that the problems are not tractable, consequently, resorting to simple (e.g., greedy) heuristic solutions to the problems. In this parer, to improve the quality of existing solutions, we propose 0-1 ILP-based techniques which produce optimal or near-optimal solution depending on the formulation parameters. It is shown that the proposed techniques use on average 32.2%, l5.1% and 3.5% more page accesses, and 84.0%, 113.5% and 10.1% more burst accesses compared to OFU (the order of first use) and the technique in [l, 2] and the technique in [3], respectively.

In this study, we analyzed the accessibility of open platform Android mobile banking applications, based on Korean mobile application accessibility KS standard, Section 508 technical standard of Rehabilitation Act, and European BBC guidelines. Experimental result showed that there are no mobile banking applications of 8 commercial banks in Korea that satisfy all guidelines of three standards. Typical violations included missing alternative text, keyboard focus violations, control size and spacing non-compliance, and low contrast ratio. These violations are fatal in that they make the accessibility of the blind, the disabled and the low vision and the elderly impossible. The reason that mobile banking applications do not comply with accessibility is that mobile application developers and providers have low awareness of accessibility and do not know how to implement accessibility properly. Comparing Korea mobile application accessibility guidelines with the revised standard of the Section 508 of Rehabilitation Act and the BBC standard, many guidelines are missing. Also, evaluation criteria are ambiguous and abstract, making it difficult for developers to refer specifically. Therefore, improving mobile application accessibility requires developer and government efforts and complementation of standards.

In recent researches on thread partitioning algorithms break a thread at the long latency operation and merge threads to get the longer threads under the given constraints. Due to this limitation, even a program with little parallelism is partitioned into small-sized threads and context-swithings occur frequently. In the paper, we propose another method array localization about the array name, dependence distance(the difference of accessed element index from loop index), and the element usage that indicates whether element is used or defined. Using this information we can allocate array elements to the node where the corresponding loop activation is executed. By array localization, remote accesses to array elements can be replaced with local accesses to localized array elements. As a resuit,the boundaries of some threads are removed, programs can be partitioned into the larger threads and the number of context switchings reduced.

Manufacturing optimization problem is to find the optimal solution under satisfying various and complicated constraints with the design variables of nonlinear types. To achieve the objective, this paper proposes a hybrid approach. The proposed hybrid approach is consist of genetic algorithm(GA), cuckoo search(CS) and hill climbing method(HCM). First, the GA is used for global search. Secondly, the CS is adapted to overcome the weakness of GA search. Lastly, the HCM is applied to search precisely the convergence space after the GA and CS search. In experimental comparison, various types of manufacturing optimization problems are used for comparing the efficiency between the proposed hybrid approach and other conventional competing approaches using various measures of performance. The experimental result shows that the proposed hybrid approach outperforms the other conventional competing approaches.
