Advanced water treatment for water supply is being introduced for the treatment of various organic materials which cannot be removed by conventional water treatment methods. While the development of advanced water treatment system appropriate to the domestic enviropment of advanced water treatment system appropriate to the domestic environment is essential, the study on the economic costs and the social impact is also of importance. In this paper, it is shown how to estimate the costs (capital and maintenance) for advanced water treatment facilities, especially those using ozone treatment combined with activated carbon process and membrance separation. Estimated costs were compared with the government budget. Also, a general relation between the system capacity and investment was derived. Four alternatives were considered form the aspect of the amount of water to be produced and the delivery system to the user. These alternatives were applied to the city of Pusan. It turned out that bottled water, produced only for drinking, has best economic advantages in having minimum system capacity without detriment to water quality.

Integer programming is a very effective technique for searching optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. However, its applicability is limited to linear models. In this paper, I propose an effective method for solving a nonlinear optimization problem by integrating the powerful search performance of integer programming and the flexibility of neighborhood search algorithms. In the first phase, integer programming is executed with subproblem which can be represented as a linear form from the given problem. In the second phase, a neighborhood search algorithm is executed with the whole problem by taking the result of the first phase as the initial solution. Through the experimental results using a nonlinear maximal covering problem, I confirmed that such a simple integration method can produce far better solutions than a neighborhood search algorithm alone. It is estimated that the success is primarily due to the powerful performance of integer programming.

To know the effect of water treatment sludge (WTS) as a rice seedling culture soil, rice seeds are sown, germinated and grown on the culture soils mixed with different ratios of WTS to sand (100:0, 50:50, 30:70, respectively), and their growth effects was compared to that of control, commercial culture soil. When WTS is used as a culture soil for rice, the length and weight of the top part of rice seedling somewhat decreased than those of control treatment while their root length and weight in all WTS treatments significantly increased. Although phosphorus and potassium uptake of rice seedling in WTS treatments was slightly decreased, WTS treatment showed to develop root growth which is necessary in the seedling stage of all plane. Such a stimulatory effect on root growth of rice seedling was significant in the mixture ratio of 50% WTS to 50% sand.

Recent researches on the behavior of gravelly soils have been focused mainly on the relative density or on the gravel content. And some researchers presented the liquefaction behavior based on the relative density whereas others based on the gravel content of gravelly soil. However the relative densities vary with gravel content and relative density is not enough to fully express the behavior of gravelly soils. Therefore in this research state parameter which considers void ratio and effective confining pressure is introduced and Steady State Line(SSL) of gravelly soils for various gravel content are determined by undrained triaxial tests in order to express the behavior of gravelly soils. From the research the position of SSL moved downward with gravel content. And the same density of soil showed dense sand behavior or loose sand behavior depending upon the confining pressure. Especially relative density 80% of gravelly soil showed loose sand behavior under high confining pressure. However the gravelly soils with similar state parameters showed similar stress behaviors. It can bee seen that state parameter is useful tool to evaluate undrained behavior of gravelly soils. Also state parameter and undrained strength showed good correlations.

In this paper, in order to solve high water content of water sludge and promote its recycle, sludge mixtures with various mixing ratios were produced. Sludge mixture consisted of water sludge and weathered granite soil. Their physical properties and unsaturated characteristics (soil-water characteristic curve, and unsaturated permeability function) were investigated by laboratory tests. Experimental test results indicated that at a given matric suction volumetric water content of sludge mixture increased as water sludge content increased. Air entry values of sludge mixture increased from 0.9 kPa to 2.4 kPa with an increase in water sludge content or fine content. In addition, unsaturated permeability function, which is an important factor for performing infiltration analysis, was predicted using saturated permeability and soil-water characteristic curve of sludge mixture.

일반적으로 적층형 압전 액츄에이터의 변위는 액츄에이터의 내부 적층수와 압전정수($d_{33}$)에 비례적으로 증가한다. 그러나 압전현상을 이용한 액츄에이터는 전기적, 기계적 부하에 의한 dipole 거동을 보이기 때문에 domain wall에 의한 압전정수의 비선형 거동을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 PMN-PZ-PT 세라믹스를 이용하여 $2{\times}3{\times}10$ (mm)의 적층형 세라믹 액츄에이터를 제조 후 1kV/mm의 일정한 전계를 인가하고 $0\sim990N$의 기계적 부하 인가하에서 적층형 세라믹 액츄에이터의 비선형 특성을 조사하였다. 압전 액츄에이터의 비선형 거동은 기계적 응력에 의한 유전 및 전왜 특성에 영향주고, 액츄에이터의 변위 특성은 유전 및 전왜 특성의 영향에 크게 의존한다.

This paper is studied the improvement of performance for moving picture encoder using H.263. This is used the new motion vector search algorithm using a relation with neighborhood search point and is applied the integer DCT for the encoder. The integer DCT behaves DCT by the addition operation of the integer using WHT and a integer lifting than conventional DCT that needs the multiplication operation of a floating point number. Therefore, the integer Dn can reduce the operation amount than basis DCT with having an equal PSNR. The new motion vector search algorithm is showed almost similar PSNR as reducing the operation amount than the conventional motion vector search algorithm. To experiment a compatibility of the integer DCT and the conventional DCT, according to result compare case that uses a method only and case that uses the alternate two methods of the integer DCT or the conventional DCT to H.263 encoder and decoder, case that uses the alternate two methods is showed doing not deteriorate PSNR-and being each other compatible visually than case that uses an equal method only.

This paper presents a fast algorithm of integer discrete cosine transform(IDCT) allowing VLSI implementation by integer arithmetic. The proposed fast algorithm has been developed using Chen`s matrix decomposition in DCT, and requires less number of arithmetic operations compared to the IDCT. In the presented algorithm, the number of addition number is the same as the one of Chen`s algorithm if DCT, and the number of multiplication if the same as that in DCT at N=8 but drastically decreasing when N is above 8. In addition, the drawbacks of DCT such as performance degradation at the finite length arithmetic could be overcome by the IDCT.

등가선형이론을 이용한 지진응답해석은 사용의 간편함 때문에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 대부분의 입력 정수들이 경험식에 의해 얻어지고 있어 심각한 오류를 발생시킬 여지가 있다. 입력정수를 실험의 결과로부터 얻을수 없다면 합리적인 방법을 통하여 입력 정수를 결정하여야 하며, 또한 입력 정수들이 해석결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입력정수가 해석결과에 미치는 영향에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 해석은 등가선형화 이론에 기초하여 개발한 액상화 해석프로그램(KLIq)을 이용하였다. 검토된 사항은 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 영향, 변형률의 영향, 반복계산에서 유효변형률 결정방법, 최대전자탄성계수의 영향, 변형률 의존곡선(자반의 종류)의 영향, 입력 지질파의 영향 등이다.

This papers describes modification of the integer transform used in H.264/AVC in order to efficiently apply to lossless compression. The previous reversible integer transform is not efficient for lossless compression due to large dynamic range of the transform coefficients. To reduce the problem, efficient and reversible integer transforms are proposed. The modified transforms are designed based on the lifting scheme for fast transforms. This paper introduces signal flow graphs for the proposed fast transforms and provides corresponding experimental results. The results indicate that the proposed modified reversible integer transform are superior to the previous transform in terms of lossless compression efficiency.
