In the present image processing technique, the concept of the gradient indicator(GI) has been introduced to find out the depth-of-field in sizing large particles ranging from $30{\mu}m$ to $30{\mu}m$ where using of the concept of the normalized contrast value(VC) is not appropriate. The gradient indicator is defined as the ratio of the local value to the maximum possible value of the gray-level gradient in an image frame. The gradient indicator decreases with the increases of the particle size and the distance from the exact focal plane. A particle is considered to be in focus when the value of the gradient indicator at its image boundary stays above a critical value. This critical gradient indicator($GI_{critical}$) is defined as the maximum gradient indicator($GI_{max}$) subtracted by a constant ${\Delta}GI$ which is to account for the particle-size effect. In the present ca.so, the value of ${\Delta}GI$ was set to 0.28 to keep the standard deviation of the measured particles mostly within 0.1. It was also confirmed that, to find the depth-of-field for small particles(${\leq}30{\mu}m$) with the same measurement accuracy, tho concept of the critical normalized contrast($VC_{critical}$) is applicable with 85% of the maximum normalized contrast value($VC_{max}$). Finally, the depth-of-field was checked for the size range between $10{\mu}m$ and $300{\mu}m$ when the both in-focus criteria ($GI_{critical}$ and $VC_{critical}$) were adopted. The change of the depth-of-field with the particle size shows good linearity in both the VC-applicable and the GI-applicable ranges with a reasonable accuracy.

The objective of this work presented here was focused on analysis of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide characteristics in ESC test mode from heavy-duty diesel engine installed on-road vehicles applicable to prime propulsion engine for marine vessels. The authors confirmed that a large quantity particulate matter were emitted in high power density condition, nitrogen oxide characteristics were dependent on exhaust gas temperature. Particulate matters were reduced by 1/100~1/1,000 times in post DPF with test modes but filtration efficiency was decreased in the engine power fluctuation. In the case of the high speed and power condition, the exhaust level of particulate matters was increased according to increment of temperature of gas flowing into DPF. The orders of magnitude for particle concentration levels from the analysis of size distribution of particulate matters of test engine was different. Both emitting nano-sized particles below 100nm regardless of DPF and non-DPF.

효율적인 수자원 관리를 위한 하천정비기본계획과 유역치수계획의 수립은 정확한 홍수량을 산정을 통해여 이루어지며, 이러한 첨두홍수량에 대한 계산이 좀 더 정밀해져야 할 필요성이 있다. 흐름해석에서 중요한 요소인 조도계수는 원래 하상재료의 조도(roughness)를 나타내는 척도로서 하상재료 및 하상표면의 특성에 의해 결정되어지는 값이지만, 실제 흐름계산에서는 식생, 하천 구조물, 사행도, 단면형태 단면 변화양상 등 하도의 상황뿐만 아니라 유량이나 수위에 의해서도 변화기 때문에(Frech, 1985) 이론적으로 조도계수를 정확하게 계산하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 내륙부와는 매우 특이한 유출 형태를 보이고 있는 제주도의 하천은 평시는 대부분이 건천이지만 집중호우나 태풍 내습시에는 하천변의 침수와 범람 등의 재해가 발생하기도 한다. 지금까지 하천정비기본계획에서 제주도 하천의 조도계수는 자연형 하천에 적용되는 계수만을 전 구간에 일률적으로 사용하여 왔으나, 제주도의 하천은 대부분 15km내외의 짧은 구간에 산지와 농 목축업 및 도심하천이 혼재하고 있고 또한, 하상재료는 자갈 및 호박돌, 전석 등이 산재해 있어 구간별 조도분포도 매우 복잡하며 큰 변화를 보이고 있다. 하지만 하천현장에 대한 실측 조도계수의 조사나 측정은 전무한 실정이다. 한천의 하상재료의 입경을 이용한 방법으로 연구대상인 한천의 구간은 11.5km이며, 조도계수 산정구간을 10구간으로 세분화하고 각 구간마다 좌안, 중앙, 우안마다 100개씩 하상재료를 채취하였으며, 총 3000개의 채취한 하상재료를 이용하여 대표입경을 선정하고 입도분석 실시하였다. 지당 총 100개 이상의 자갈 입자를 선택하고 중경(intermediate axis)을 측정하도록 하고 있다. 그 결과를 기존의 조도계수 경험식에 대입하여 조도계수를 산정하였으며, 기존의 하천정비기본계획에 제시된 조도계수와 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 실측 조도계수을 이용한다면 보다 정확한 홍수량 산정과 하천실무에 적용 및 활용성이 기대된다.

In order to develop urban underground spaces, even microcracks should be reinforced. In this paper, the grouting injection performance for microcracks was investigated considering the viscosity and particle size of the grouting materials, injection pressure, and crack width. There are two types of typical grouting materials used for filling micro-cracks. One is a chemical liquid grouting material which is a solution type and the other is a cementitious grouting material which is a suspension type. The injection performance of the grouting materials for microcracks is generally influenced by the viscosity, and the injection performance of the cementitious grouting material is additionally affected by the particle size. From laboratory tests, the viscosity was calculated inversely to provide a suitable viscosity measurement method for each grouting material. The groutability ratio based on the relationship between the crack width and the particle size was evaluated to estimate the grouting feasibility of the cementitous grouting material through microcracks.

PTC thermistor has been fabricated with as-received $BaTiO_{3}$ powder and its electrical properties were investigated. The resistivity of the PTC thermistor was measured at $20^{\circ}C$ intervals from $20^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. The electrical characteristics of the PTC thermistor are determined by the ac complex impedance analysis. The average grain size measured with a scanning electron microscope increased from $3.8{\mu}m$ to $8.8{\mu}m$ with increasing sintering temperature between $1280^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$. The maximum resistivity jump was $4{\times}10^{5}$. The bulk resistivity of the thermistor sintered above $1340^{\circ}C$ decreased with increasing temperature of the measurement. The grain boundary resistance increased exponentially, the grain boundary capacitance decreased, and the built-in potential at the grain boundary increased with increasing temperature of the measurement. The charge densiy at the grain boundary increased with increasing temperature up to $110^{\circ}C$, which leveled off with further increase in measuring temperature.

The hydraulic conductivity of porous media is the most important property in soil characteristics. The hydraulic conductivity is determined by outdoor and indoor methods. Indoor methods normally use soil columns for flow test. Assumption of the column test is that fluid one-dimensionally flows through the column. However, fluids may flow toward the wall of the column, resulting in "boundary flow". This study investigated the effect of boundary flow on the hydraulic conductivity by using a permeameter excluding boundary flow. The results showed that the hydraulic conductivity excluding boundary flow was much smaller than the hydraulic conductivity employing the conventional determination method. This study also investigated the effects of particle size and surfactant on the hydraulic conductivity. As the particle size increased, the hydraulic conductivity was increased. The hydraulic conductivity was reduced by increasing surfactant concentration. The result showed that the viscosity of fluid significantly affected the determination of hydraulic conductivity.
