During the life firing test of 1 N-class thruster development model, pulse mode performance and performance changes were examined. The deviation of pulse mode response time according to thruster feed pressure was relatively small and the resultant ignition delay, response time, tail-off time were 32-35 ms, 86-91 ms, 89-98 ms, respectively. For the stabilized pulse region the impulse bit revealed the outstanding reproducibility of 1.41, 1.32, 2.10% at $3{\sigma}$. During the life firing test, the impulse bit was decreased with limited amounts, therefore the pulse mode performance could be considered to be maintained. The thrust centroid was also maintained during the life firing test.

MEMS-based storage is being developed as a new storage media. Due to its attractive features such as high-bandwidth, low-power consumption, high-density, and low cost, MEMS storage is anticipated to be used for a wide range of applications from storage for small handhold devices to high capacity mass storage servers. However, MEMS storage has vastly different physical characteristics compared to a traditional disk. First, MEMS storage has thousands of heads that can be activated simultaneously. Second, the media of MEMS storage is a square structure which is different from the platter structure of disks. This paper presents a new request scheduling algorithm for MEMS storage that makes use of the aforementioned characteristics. This new algorithm considers the parallelism of MEMS storage as well as the seek time of requests on the two dimensional square structure. We then extend this algorithm to consider the aging factor so that starvation resistance is improved. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithms improve the performance of MEMS storage by up to 39.2% in terms of the average response time and 62.4% in terms of starvation resistance compared to the widely acknowledged SPTF (Shortest Positioning Time First) algorithm.

For the seismic performance enhancement of residential flat plate structure and for the selection of earthquake records, the possibility of base isolation is evaluated and the time history results are reviewed. By evaluating a base isolated stiffness, a target period, and an envelope curve analysis, seismic performance of structure, which has strong rotational mode, is evaluated. For the propriety evaluation of earthquake records usage and scaling method, time history analysis is done with variables such as DBE(design base earthquake) level, MCE(maximum considerable earthquake) level, and 1.4DBE level. From the analysis results, following conclusions can be made; the earthquake records, which are used in base isolation analysis, should be selected by similar soil type which the structure is considered, and should be intensity scaled in a range of mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation of code based design response spectrum.

As cellular network technologies continue to evolve, various network standards coexist in most CDMA-based cellular networks. This means that mobile device users access mobile services over different network bandwidths according to the users' positions or the mobile devices' network access capabilities. Such differences of network bandwidths cause big differences in service response times. To address this problem, we present a framework called CANS (Context-Aware framework for mobile Navigation Services), which takes into account the user's network profile to adapt the contents for CDRG(Centrally Determined Route Guidance) navigation services for cellular phones. To the best of the authors' knowledge, CANS is the first context-aware framework to make mobile navigation services more feasible. The experimental results under commercial CDMA network show that CANS is able to provide similar service response times regardless of type of wireless network to which users connect by adapting the contents to network bandwidths.

This paper proposes an efficient method for selecting ground motions with the mean response spectrum matching a target spectrum. Since former studies reported that the shape and amplitude of the response spectra can be treated independently for selecting ground motions, this study first selects ground motions such that the shape of their mean response spectrum matches that of the target spectrum, then scales the ground motions. To select the ground motions best matching the shape of the target response spectrum, the standard deviation of the difference between the target response spectrum and the mean response spectrum of the selected ground motions needs to be minimized. Unlike the existing procedure, the scaling factor can be computed without iteration. Based on the selection results of 7 ground motions from a library of 40 ground motions, the proposed method is verified as an accurate and efficient method.

Generally we use web cache in order to increase performance of web base system, and a replacement technique has a great influence on performance of web cache. A web cache replacement technique is different from a replacement technique of memory scope, and a unit substituted for is web object Also, as for the web object, a variation of user reference characteristics is very great. Therefore, a web cache replacement technique can reflect enough characteristics of this web object. But the existing web caching techniques were not able to reflect enough these object reference characteristics. A principal viewpoint of this study is reference characteristic analysis, an elevation of an object hit rate, an improvement of response time. First of all we analyzed a reference characteristics of an web object by log analysis. And we divide web cache storage scope using the result of reference characteristics analysis. In the experiment result, we can confirm that performance of an object-hit ratio and a response speed was improved than a conventional technique about a proposal technique.

Write amplification is a critical factor that limits the stable performance of flash-based storage systems. To reduce write amplification, this paper presents a new technique that cooperatively manages data in flash storage and nonvolatile memory (NVM). Our scheme basically considers NVM as the cache of flash storage, but allows the original data in flash storage to be invalidated if there is a cached copy in NVM, which can temporarily serve as the original data. This scheme eliminates the copy-out operation for a substantial number of cached data, thereby enhancing garbage collection efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the copy-out overhead of garbage collection by 51.4% and decreases the standard deviation of response time by 35.4% on average.

The polymeric membrane pH sensor based on HDBA(hexyldibenzylamine) or HDPA(hexyldiphenylamine) as hydrogen ion carrier was prepared and electrochemical characterization for the variation of a temperature and membrane thickness were studied on. The sensor based on HDPA was not responded selectively to hydrogen ion. The sensor based on HDBA was responded linearly to hydrogen ion in the range of pH 2 - pH 10, it showed the fast response time of 30 - 50sec. and Nernstian slope of 53.6mV/pH. The interfering effect on alkali and alkaline earth metal ions of pH sensor were lower than glass pH sensor. There was shown a good reproducibility and stability with the precision of 2 - 4mV (${\pm}0.1mV$).

The variations of the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration at the top of prestressed concrete reactor building due to random variability and/or model uncertainty of structural parameters are studied. The results may be used as essential input parameters in seismic probabilistic risk assessment or seismic margin assessment of the reactor building. The sensitivity test of each structural parameter is first performed to determine the most influential parameter upon the natural frequency of structure model. Then Monte Carlo simulation technique is applied to evaluate the effect of parameter variation on the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration. The acceleration time history is obtained by direct integration scheme. As the study results, it is found that the fundamental natural frequency and the peak response acceleration at the top of the building are most strongly affected by Young's modulus among the structural parameters, in which the value of mean plus one standard deviation obtained by probabilistic approach deviates up to about (+)12% from the result of deterministic method. Considering the uncertainty of flexural rigidity, the structural responses vary in range of (-)4%~(+)14%.

Recently, a GIS has been applicable to the most important computer applications such as urban information systems and transportation information systems. These applications require spatial operations for an efficient management of a large volume of data. In particular, a spatial join among basic operations has the property that its response time is increased exponentially according to the number of spatial objects included in the operation. Therefore, it is not proper to the systems demanding the fast response time. To satisfy these requirements, the efficient parallel processing of spatial joins has been required. In this paper, the efficient method for creating and allocating tasks to balance statically the load of each processor in a parallel spatial join is presented. A task graph is developed in which a vertex weight is calculated by the cost model I have proposed. Then, it is partitioned through a graph partitioning algorithm. According to the experiments in CC16 parallel machine, our method made an improvement in the static load balance by decreasing the variance of a task execution time on each processor.
