Coastal sediment archives are used as indicators of changes on shore sediment production and fluvial sediment transport, but rivers crossing coastal plains may not be efficient conveyors of sediment to the coast. In some case there is a net loss of sediment in lower coastal plain reaches, so that sediment input from an upstream exceeds the sediment yield (SY) at the river mouth. The main source of sediment in coastal area is the load from land. In Korea, data on suspended SY are limited owing to a lack of logistic support for systematic sediment sampling activities. This paper presents an integrated approach to estimate SY for ungauged coastal basins, using a soil erosion model and a sediment delivery ratio (SDR) model. For applying the SDR model, a basin specific parameter was validated on the basis of field data. The proposed relationships may be considered useful for predicting suspended SY in ungauged basins that have geologic, climatic and hydrologic conditions similar to the study area.

In this study 3-month SPI data from 59 stations over the Korean peninsula are analyzed by deriving and spatially characterizing the EOFs. Also, the coefficient time series of EOF are applied to the multi-variate time series model to generate the time series of 10,000 years, to average them to estimate the areal average, and to decide the maximum drought severity for given return periods. Finally, the drought prevention ability is evaluated by considering the effective storage of dam within the basin and the size of agricultural area. Especially for the return period of 30 years, only the Han river basin has the potential to overcome the drought. Other river basins like the Youngsan river basin, which has a large portion of agricultural area but less water storage, are found to be very vulnerable to the rainfall-sensitive agricultural drought.

A time-interpolation technique has been applied to the conventional FLASH analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to increase a number of quantization level, thus it reduces not only a power dissipation, but also minimize an active chip area. In this work, we demonstrated 5-bit ADC which has 31 quantization levels consisting of 16 conventional voltage-mode comparators and 15 time-mode comparators. As a result, we have achieved about 48.4% voltage-mode comparator reductions. The ADC is fabricated in a 14nm fin Field-effect transistor (FinFET) process with an active die area of 0.0024 mm2 while consuming 0.82 mW through a 0.8 V supply. At 400-MS/s conversion rate, the ADC performs 28.03 dB SNDR (4.36 ENOB) at 21MHz input frequency.

우리나라의 수자원 총이용량 가운데 농업용수가 차지하는 비율은 1965년 88%에 비해 현저히 줄어들고 있지만 2003년 47%에 해당하고 있다. 또한 그 수요도 점점 복잡하고 다양하게 변하고 있으며 이에 대한 공급원으로써 국내에 약 18,000여개의 농업용 저수지가 건설되어 있는 실정이다. 농업용 저수지의 주목적은 갈수시 안정적인 관개용수 공급과 하류의 생활용수를 공급함에 있다. 하지만 대부분의 농업용 저수지가 소규모로 건설되어 있어 지속적인 가뭄을 극복하기에 충분한 저수용량을 가지고 있지 않으며 설계 가뭄빈도도 대략 10년이다. 따라서 수자원 평가 및 계획 수립 시 공급원으로서 농업용 저수지의 역할에 대해 많은 논란이 있어 왔다. 농업용 저수지의 설계 가뭄빈도는 10년이고 이에 반해 수자원장기종합계획에서는 과거 최대가뭄 년을 대상으로 분석하고 있기 때문에 수요량, 하천유량 및 댐 등을 통해 물 수지 분석을 산정한 후 그 결과에 중권역별로 분포되어 있는 농업용 저수지 유효저수용량을 고려하여 지역별 과부족량을 산정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 수자원장기종합계획 물 수급 전망 방법과는 달리 중권역에 속해 있는 모든 농업용 저수지를 포함하여 물 수지 분석을 수행함으로써 농업용 저수지의 용수 공급능력을 평가하였다. 기존의 농업용 저수지 반영 방법은 농업용수의 공급시기인 관개기 초기에 저수지 만수위를 유지하는 실무운영 상황을 반영하여 농업용 저수지의 유효저수용량을 해당 저수지의 공급가능량으로 설정하여 지역공급원으로써 고려 하였다. 이에 반해 본 연구에서는 각 중권역에 존재하는 모든 농업용 저수지의 용량 및 유역면적 등을 총합한 대표저수지를 선정하고 유역별 농업용 수요처로만 물을 공급하는 방식으로 물 수지 분석에 운영함으로써 모든 농업용 저수지의 영향을 고려하였다. 농업용 저수지를 제외한 나머지 제반 사항은 기존의 수자원장기종합계획과 동일한 자료를 이용하여 분석하였으며 분석 결과를 통해 연도별 농업용 저수지의 공급능력을 평가하였다. 분석결과 가뭄빈도가 클수록 공급능력은 현저히 낮아지는 것을 분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었으며 유역별 존재하는 농업용 저수지의 가뭄빈도별 공급가능량 평가를 통해 보다 현실적인 저수지 운영에 관한 정보를 제공할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Micro-algae, one of the biological resources for alternative energy, has been heavily studied. Among various methods to analyze the status of the micro-algae including counting, screening, and flocculation, the flocculation approach has been widely accepted in many critical applications such as red tide removal study or microalgae resource study. To characterize the flocculation status of the micro-alga. A traditional optical modality, i.e., photospectrometry, measuring the optical density of the flocs has been frequently employed. While this traditional optical method needs shorter time than the counting method in flocculation status analysis, it has relatively lower detection accuracy. To address this issue, a novel real-time micro-algae flocculation analysis method based on the lens-free shadow imaging technique (LSIT) is introduced. Both single cell detection and floc detection are simultaneously available with a proposed lens-free shadow image, confirmed by comparing the results with optical microscope images. And three shadow parameters, e.g., number of flocs, effective area of flocs, and maximum size of floc, enabling quantification of the flocculation phenomenon of micro-alga, are firstly demonstrated in this article. The efficacy of each shadow parameter is verified with the real-time flocculation monitoring experiments using custom developed cohesive agents.

In recent years, the availability of high-strength reinforcing and prestressing steels leads us to build economically and efficiently designed concrete structural members. One of critical problems faced to the structural engineers dealing with these types of structural member is controls of crack width that is used as a criterion for the serviceability in the limit state design. Especially, flexural cracking must be controlled to secure the structural safety and to improve the durability as well as serviceability of the load carving members. The proposed method utilizes the results of pure tension test in which tensile loads are applied both side of specimen, done by Ikki. The bond characteristics of deformed reinforcing bar under pure tension is considered by the area of concrete and rib area. The results of proposed method are compared with the test data and the results show that the proposed method can take into account the dimensions, variation of sectional properties, and direction of reinforcing and gives more accurate maximum bond stress and corresponding relative slip than the existing methods. the characteristics of bonding is considered by using dimensionless slip magnitude and effective reinforcement ratio. The validity of the proposed equation is verified by test experimental data.

A color filter was proposed and demonstrated by incorporating a subwavelength patterned 1-dimensional grating in poly silicon. It was produced by employing the laser interference lithography method, providing much wider effective area compared to the conventional e-beam lithography. A $SiO_2$ layer was introduced on top of the silicon grating layer as a mask for the etching of the silicon, facilitating the etching of the silicon layer. It was theoretically found that the selectivity of the filter was also improved thanks to the oxide layer. The parameters for the designed device include the grating pitch of 450 nm, the grating height of 100 nm and the oxide-layer height of 200 nm. As for the fabricated filter, the spectral pass band corresponded to the blue color centered at 470 nm and the peak transmission was about 40%. Within the effective area of $3{\times}3mm^2$, the variation in the relative transmission efficiency and in the center wavelength was less than 10% and 2 nm respectively. Finally, the influence of the angle of the incident beam upon the transfer characteristics of the device was investigated in terms of the rate of the relative transmission efficiency, which was found to be equivalent to 1.5%/degree.

According to advance of electronic packaging technology, electronic package becomes smaller. Miniaturization of package causes the temperature rise of package. This can degrade life of electronic device and generate the failure of electronic system. In this study, we proposed a new semi-embedded structure with micro pattern for maximizing heat dissipation. A proposed structure showed the characteristics which have maximum temperature lower than $20^{\circ}C$ compared with conventional structure. And also, in view of thermal stress and strain, our structure showed a remarkably low value compared with other ones. We expect that the new structure proposed in this work can be applied to an flip-chip package of the future.

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared from various precursors of plantic, synthetic, and mixed fabrics of viscous rayon and cotton. Their adsorption performances of phenol and methylene blue in aqueous phase were evaluated through their adsorption isotherms, adsorption rates and breakthrough curves. The two adsorbates showed type I adsorption isotherm on ACFs. Adsorption rates to ACFs were 100 fold faster than to GAC. The effective diffusion coefficients of the adsorbates in ACFs were twenty fold greater than in GAC. The ACFs removed completely ten organic pollutants from a prepared water specimens through the 2nd column of a natural filtration method where 50 L of the water samples were treated.

Most of land reclamation projects are being implemented along the south and west coastal lines of the Korean Peninsula. The earth structures and in-ground LNG tank, and buildings can be constructed using artificial freezing method on the reclaimed land to control the uplift pressure caused by capillary forces. In this study, upon freezing a saturated soil in a closed-system from the top, a considerable frost heaving pressure was developed. Decomposed granite soils, silty soil, and sandy soil were used in the laboratory freeze test which is sometimes subjected to thermal gradients under closed-systems. A major concern has been the ability to predict the frost heaving pressure over the results of relatively short-term laboratory tests. The frost heaving pressure arising within the soil samples and the temperature of the samples inside were monitored with time elapse. The degree of saturation versus heaving pressure curve is presented for each soil sample and the maximum pressure is closely related to this curve. TDR apparatus was used to measure the volumetric water content by the measurement of unfrozen water contents of frozen soils. Unfrozen water increased in soils containing a high percentage of fine-grained particles. In fine-grained soils with strong attractive farces between soil grains and water molecules, additional water is attracted into the pores leading to further volume changes and ice segregation.
