The increasing number of users of mobile communication systems and the corresponding need for increased system capacity require the use of a modulation scheme which is both power and spectrally efficient. In this paper, we numerically calculate the BER performance of DS/CDMA-BPSK system in different fading channel (Rayleigh, Rician, Shadow Rician). Also, we calculate BER performance and the channel capacity of DS/CDMA-BPSK system which is constant or nearly constant envelopes in 3-state fading channel model. The Shadow Rician fading model described in this paper apply the parameters of the Canadian Mobile Satellite (MSAT). And we assume that the 3-state fading channel model is consist of Rayleigh fading state, Rician fading state, and shadow Rician fading state. This model can be used as a basis for the simulation of the land mobile satellite channel. The dynamic 3-state fading channel model is considered corresponding to different environments and the transitions between these environments. From the numerically calculate results, the DS/CDMA-BPSK system with MUI-20, PG-511 can not achieve the BER performance ($P_b\leq10^{-5}$). And the channel capacity did not meet the system requirement. Also, we know that the BER performance is depend m the occupancy probability of radio channel and the degree of shadow. From the results, we how that during shadowed time intervals it is necessary to use some form of error control coding and receiver diversity in order to support reliable data communication.

In this paper we simulate the capacity of VOIP calls through WiFi network by computer simulations using OPNET modeler. The results show that sudden quality degradations occur on all VoIP calls when the number of call of an AP(Access Point) increases beyond a specific value. The reason of the quality degradation was turned out to be the queueing delay at the down link of AP. Under the IEEE 802.11b environments, the maximum number of VoIP calls of an AP maintaining the required voice quality (MOS > 2.5), was evaluated as 5, 12, and 27 when we use G.711, G.729a, and G.729a VAD codec, respectively.

Redox flow batteries are attractive energy-storage devices for renewable energy and peak-power energy control. Even though some prototypes are available already, many new materials are under development for new battery systems. In this reports, redox pairs and theirs properties are explained, by which one can understand issues with redox pairs, such as contaminations, cross-over, ionic selectivity, and solubility. Batteries that have the same redox pairs in both electrode compartments can be operated longer than those with different redox pairs due to the prevention form the cross-contamination. There are undivided redox flow batteries that have no membrane, which is another direction improving cycle life of the batteries.

충북 영동군 동창광산에서 산출되는 일라이트(illite)광선의 표면화학특성을 전위차 적정 실험과 FITEQL3.2 프로그램을 이용하여 연구하였다. 정량 Xtjs 회절 분석에 의한 일라이트 광석의 광물조석은 석영 46.6% 일라이트 41.6% 카올리나이트(kaolinite) 11.8%이며 $N_2$BET 방법에 의하여 구한 비표면적은 $6.52 m^2$g이다. 전위차 적정 실험결과를 그란(Gran)법을 적용하여 구한 일라이트광석의 영전하점($pH_{pznpc}$ )은 pH 3.9 총표면 자리 밀도는 21.24 sites/$nm^2$이다. 표면 복합체 모델중 일정 용량 모델을 적용해 일라이트 광석의 표변 특성에 알맞는 모델을 찾아보았다. 일라이트 광석의 표면을 사면체 자리와 팔면체 자리로 나누어 설정한 2sites$-3pK_{ a}$s 모델은 변수값이 수렴되지않았으므로 부적절하다고 판단된다. 일라이트 광석의 표면을 하나의 균질한 흡착표면으로 가정해서 설정한 1 site -1 $K_{a}$ 와 1 site -2 $pK_{a}$ s 모델 사이에는 뚜렷한 차이는 없지만, 1 site -1 $pK_{a}$ 모델의 WSOS/DF 값이 17, 1 site - 2 $pK_a{s}$ 모델은 26으로서 앞 모델이 보다 적절하다. 이 결과는 일라이트 광석 표면에서 수소의 해리와 첨가 반응 중 첨가 반응을 무시하여도 표면반응을 설명하는 데 큰 무리가 없음을 시사한다. 가장 적절하다고 판단되는 1 site -1 $pK_{a}$ 모델의 $pK_{a}$ 값은 4.17, specific capacitance는 $6F/m^2$ 표면 자리 농도는 $1.15\Times10^{-3}$ mol/L 이다.

원자력 발전소의 안전성 보장 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 시운전 단계에서 원자력 발전소내 안전등급에 해당하는 배관계통의 상태 확인을 위하여 각종시험을 하도록 되어있다. 특히 새로운 설계기념, 크기 또는 용량을 갖는 원자로 모델에 대해서는 필수적으로 건전성 평가를 하게 되었다. 이를 위해 발전소 건설기간에 시행하는 고온 기능시험 중에 원자로 주변 주요 시스템인 원자로 냉각재 루프 계통에 대한 건전성 확인을 위해 압전형 고온 가속도 센서를 이용하여 정상운전상태의 진동을 측정하여 시스템 진동거동을 규명하였다. 배관시스템의 일상운전상태는 유체의 흐름과 기기운전이 일정한 정상상태와 펌프의 기동 또는 정지 및 밸브의 급격한 개폐등으로 발생하는 과도상태로 나눌 수 있다. 따라서 두 가지 상태의 진동을 측정해야 한다. 배관계통은 정상운전 상태로 설계수명을 유지할 수 있어야 하므로 정상진도잉 최소화 되어야 한다. 진동 평가기준은 배관재질의 응력(S/N 커브) 곡선을 참조하여 설계수명내에 손상이 일어나지 않도록 재료의 허용응력을 산정하고 이를 진동변위로 환산하여 정한 것이며 이 값에 측정 데이타를 비교하여 1차계통 배관의 건전성을 확인하였다.

In ATM switching system link bandwidth is one of the improtant resources. Thus ATM switching system must allocate the bandwidth to the users efficiently and guarantee the QoS. Especially to guarantee the QoS of the VBR traffic source such as video, users must declare the traffic characteristics and QoS expectations using UPC parameters. The CAC can use two multiplexig models in variation to link capacity and connection number. One is loseless multiplexing model; the second is a statistical multiplexing model. The loseless multiplexing model performs best when the number of mutiplexed sources is small, but as the number of multiplexed sources is increase the CAC must use the statistical multiplexing model. In this paper, the statistical multiplexing models are studied, which are suitable for high capacity ATM link on VBR traffic sources. The satistical multiplexing model and the loseless multiplexing model are combined. In statistical model we map the UPC parameters provided by new VBR connection to appropriate source traffic model. In the high capacity ATM link, as the connection number increases, the statical multiplexing gain increases.

The thermal analysis of an underground power conduit for electrical cables is essential to determine their current capacity with an increasing number of demands for high-voltage underground cables. The temperature rises around a buried cable, caused by excessive heat dissipation, may increase considerably the thermal resistance of the cables, leading to the danger of "thermal runaway" or damaging to insulators. It is a key design factor to develop the mechanism on thermal behavior of backfilling materials for underground power conduits. With a full-scale field test, a numerical model was developed to estimate the temperature change as well as the thermal resistance existing between an underground power conduit and backfill materials. In comparison with the field test, the numerical model for analyzing thermal behavior depending on density, moisture content and soil constituents is verified by the one-year-long field measurement.

Hydrogen fuel is emerging as an new energy source to replace fossil fuels in that it can solve environmental pollution problems and reduce energy imbalance and cost. Since hydrogen is eco-friendly but highly explosive, there is a high concern about fire and explosion accidents of hydrogen fueled vehicles. In particular, in semi-enclosed spaces such as tunnels, the risk is predicted to increase. Therefore, this study was conducted on the applicability of the equivalent TNT model and the numerical analysis method to evaluate the hydrogen explosion pressure in the tunnel. In comparison and review of the explosion pressure of 6 equivalent TNT models and Weyandt's experimental results, the Henrych equation was found to be the closest with a deviation of 13.6%. As a result of examining the effect of hydrogen tank capacity (52, 72, 156 L) and tunnel cross-section (40.5, 54, 72, 95 m²) on the explosion pressure using numerical analysis, the explosion pressure wave in the tunnel initially it propagates in a hemispherical shape as in open space. Furthermore, when it passes the certain distance it is transformed a plane wave and propagates at a very gradual decay rate. The Henrych equation agrees well with the numerical analysis results in the section where the explosion pressure is rapidly decreasing, but it is significantly underestimated after the explosion pressure wave is transformed into a plane wave. In case of same hydrogen tank capacity, an explosion pressure decreases as the tunnel cross-sectional area increases, and in case of the same cross-sectional area, the explosion pressure increases by about 2.5 times if the hydrogen tank capacity increases from 52 L to 156 L. As a result of the evaluation of the limiting distance affecting the human body, when a 52 L hydrogen tank explodes, the limiting distance to death was estimated to be about 3 m, and the limiting distance to serious injury was estimated to be 28.5~35.8 m.

The field surveys and the measurements of seawater temperatures were conducted every month from 1997 to 1999, and the distributions of seawater temperature were simulated and reproduced by a three dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model over the southern waters of Cheju island. In order to estimate the marine environmental capacity for the reception of the heat loads of cooling water discharged from Hwasoon Thermal Power Plant(HTPP) in the study area, the simulations for predicting the situation of unfavorable environment in which marine organisms might not be satisfied with change in seawater temperature were peformed using a three dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model by controlling quantitatively the heat loads of cooling water from HTPP Currently, HTPP discharges cooling water of 35.9℃ into the sea as much as 112,800m³/day in summer. As the results of simulations, the more the heat loads from the power plant increase, the more increase the seawater temperatures around the water areas adjacent to the power plant. In case the heat loads of cooling water from HTPP become about 5 times as high as the present loads, seawater temperatures at near-shore waters adjacent to HTPP appear to be increased to the extent of 0.5℃ above the existing seawater temperature in summer. The marine environmental capacity for the reception of thermal discharge from HTPP is estimated to be about 530×10/sup 6/kcal/day which is equivalent to the increase of a factor of 2 in the temperature of cooling water without any change in the discharge rate of cooling water or which is equivalent to the increase of a factor of 4.6 in the discharge rate of cooling water without any change in the temperature of cooling water. Comparing the case of the increase in the discharge rate of cooling water with the case of the increase in the temperature of cooling water on the basis of the same heat loads of 530×10/sup 6/kal/day, the former case is expected to increase seawater temperature a little higher and to extend the area affected by heat loads a little broader.

Using solar power in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires adaptation to a highly varying energy supply and to a battery constraint. From an application's perspective, however, it is often preferred to operate at a constant quality level as opposed to changing application behavior frequently. Reconciling the varying supply with the fixed demand requires good tools for allocating energy such that average of energy supply is computed and demand is fixed accordingly. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic observation-based model for harvested solar energy. Based on this model, we develop a time-slot-based energy allocation scheme to use the periodically harvested solar energy optimally, while minimizing the variance in energy allocation. We also implement the testbed and demonstrate the efficiency of the approach by using it.
