In railway systems, the exchange of information between running trains and wayside equipment is a very important role in various applications such as position detection and train control. Track circuits have been used as the medium for information transmission between trains and wayside. However, track circuits must be installed continuously along the track on the ground, resulting in an inevitable increase in installation and maintenance costs. One of the most promising solutions to reduce these costs is to mix continuous information transmission (via wireless communication) and discontinuous information transmission (via transponder). In this study, we designed antennas of railway high-speed transponder readers and tags for wireless power transmission, which can be used to transmit information from ground to high-speed trains with a maximum speed of 400km/h. We also verified system performance through computational simulation and prototyping.

Recently, various methods have been proposed to process k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) queries efficiently. However the previous methods have problems that they access additional cells unnecessarily and spend the high computation cost to find the nearest cells. In this paper, to overcome the problems, we propose a new method to process k-NN queries using the patterns of the distance relationship between the cells in a grid. The patterns are composed of the relative coordinates of cells sorted by the distance from certain points. Since the proposed method finds the nearest cells to process k-NN queries with traversing the patterns sequentially, it saves the computation cost. It is shown through the various experiments that out proposed method is much better than the existing method, CPM, in terms of the query processing time and the storage overhead.

This paper presents soil-gas surveying technique to delineate an area contaminated with volatile organic compounds, which are common solvents and constituents of gasoline. The sampling method of soil-gas surveying is 1) grab sampling, which actively takes sample using a pump, or 2) passive sampling, which takes sample through diffusion in a trap filled with absorbent. The grab sampling shows the level of contamination at a certain location at a certain time, while the passive sampling shows the change in the contamination at a certain location. The analysis of soil gas can be performed with 1) a small portable detectors such as PID (photoionization detector) or FID (flame-ionization detector) to measure the total hydrocarbon in the soil gas, 2) a gas detector tube, which is filled with indicator reagents and changes its color with concentrations of the gas of interest, or 3) a portable GC (gas chromatograph), which can analyze different compounds simultaneously. The soil-gas surveying technique is a much less expensive method to investigate area contaminated volatile organic compounds and thus can be used as a screening tool to identify an area, which needs to be further investigated.

In this study, we have examined the exfoliation behavior of layered clay during in-situ polymeriztion with styrene by using real-time XRD analysis. The 4C1 beam line at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) was used for this study. Different exfoliation behaviors have been shown to depend on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of clay and the chemical structure of organic modifiers. For 10A-MMT and 15A-MMT having high CEC, no peak shifts were observed on real-time XRD analysis during polymerization. However, 2$\theta$ for 25A-MMT and VDAC-MMT, each having low CEC’s as well as aromatic benzene moieties and vinyl groups, respectively, decreased as polymerization time increased.

본 연구에서는 내수침수 저감을 위하여 효율적(effective)인 우수저류조 설치에 따른 침수저감효과 극대화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 여기서 효율성(effectiveness)은 침수저감량의 극대화 측면과 비용의 최소화 측면 두 가지로 구분된다. 최적 방재 시설물의 설치는 단순 설치비용 대비 저감량이 가장 큰 안을 제시하는 것은 의미가 없으며 일정 기준 이상의 방재성능을 발휘하면서 주어진 예산안에서 최적안을 찾아야 하므로 비용의 최소화 측면과 침수 저감량, 즉 맨홀에서의 월류 저감량을 최대화 하는 두 가지의 목적을 동시에 달성해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다목적 최적화 알고리즘의 적용을 통하여 우수저류조 최적 설치지점을 선정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에 적용한 다목적 최적화 방법으로는 목적함수의 최적해 탐색 효용성 측면에서 우수하다고 평가되고 있는 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 다목적 최적화의 경우 해의 우열을 판단하기 위한 적합도 함수는 실제 각 목적함수의 적합도 값(real fitness value)이 아닌 해의 상대적인 우열(dominance or non-dominance)에 따라 부여되는 등급(rank)에 의해서 해의 우열이 결정되며 여기서는 Fonseca and Fleming(1993)이 제안한 Ranking method를 적용하여 적합도를 결정하였다. 한편 도시 우수관망의 해석 및 우수저류조 설치에 따른 월류량 분석을 위하여 미 환경청(US Environmental Protection Agency; EPA)에서 제공하고 있는 EPA-SWMM 5.0 engine을 사용하였으며 최적화 알고리즘의 구성을 위하여 Visual C++와 SWMM DLL을 연동하여 사용하였다. 연구 대상유역은 인천 청라지구(3공구)를 대상으로 기법의 적용성을 검토하였으며 저류지 설치에 따른 비용함수는 EPA(2002)에서 제안한 저류지 체적대비 공사비용을 원화로 환산한 후 청라지구의 공시지가를 고려하여 결정하였다. 최적화 기법의 적용 결과 저류지 설치비용에 따라 최대로 월류량을 저감시킬 수 있는 우수저류조 최적 설치위치의 조합(Pareto-front)을 결정할 수 있었다.

The results of scanning electron microscopic analysis, morphology of rope type and homogeneous surface of platy or leaflike form observed on the marble after treated with 0.8T0.2E1G_3wt0.08% and 1T1G_7wt0.08%, respectively. Brightness of surface after treated with consolidant are changing slightly dark. Shore hardness and ultrasonic velocity values show increasing after treated on the marble surface with two consolidants.

1. The larvae of the pine gall-midge begin to grow slowly from early July but grow rapidly from September. 2. The number of larvae in the galls does not decrease during the feeding period. 3. Pine needles infested by pine gall-midge cease to grow as soon as the gall starts to form. 4. In Seoul district the effective felling season of the pine trees for the Control of the pine gall-midge seems to be around 20th September when the size of larvae reaches 1.4-1.5mm in length. 5. The stratification and direction of the Crown, and the length of new shoot had no effect on the degree of infestation by pine gall-midge. However the degree of infestation differed among the trees of different ages as well as at the different levels of the mountain.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the housing price variation within the redevelopment project district, affected by the characteristics of project and implementation stage. This study implemented the hedonic price model employing the actual transaction price with 24 dependent variables from 2006 to 2016 inside 19 redevelopment districts in Seoul. Research finding indicates that the larger ratio of the number of tenants and general distribution, the smaller ratio of rented households and the more positive effect of housing price. It is noteworthy that this study demonstrated the actual transaction price of houses located within the project districts by implementation stage. This study is expected to help the policy makers, the developers and the investors make more reliable decisions on the feasibility study related to the redevelopment project.

Plastic gradient from geometrically necessary dislocation(GND) can strongly affect micro-scale plastic behavior of polycrystalline solids. In this research, mechanical behavior of polycrystalline solid is investigated using the finite element method incorporating plastic gradient from GND effect. Gradient hardness coefficient and material length parameter are used to evaluate the effect of the plastic gradient on the behavior of materials. Sensitivity of the modeling parameters on the plastic gradient from GND is presented and effects of plastic gradient and material parameters on the behavior of single crystal inside a polycrystalline aggregate are investigated. It is confirmed that the plastic gradient from GND amplifies hardening response of polycrystals and affects single crystal behavior embedded in polycrystalline solids.

The study was performed to investigate the influence on growth and development of grape-cuttings by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inoculation, AM colonization rate, and the phenomena of mycorrhizal association. Among the grape-cuttings, 'Kyoho' and 'Tamnara' cultivars inoculated with AM fungi showed significantly increase of leaf area, leaf number, total root length and root surface area than non-infected ones. But 'Cambell Early' did not showed any significant difference in total root length and root surface area even after the inoculation. The AM colonization rates in mycorrhizal inoculation treatment were 22.5-32.5% in total average after 8weeks, and were 29.6%, 28.8%, and 48.8% for 'Cambell Early', 'Tamnara', and 'Kyoho' respectively after 12weeks. The AM colonization rate marked very low level in non-colonization control plot.
