The study on the left turning trajectory has not done many times in Korea. Because of this, there are a lot of intersections built without considering on turning trajectory of vehicles, in Korea, and we can see many conflicts, reduced capacity of turn, especially at small intersections. Even if left turn trajectory is designed well, it is not easy to mark exactly on the pavement according to the turn trajectory. This study suggests "drop Islands" which can be seen in Europe, and is introduced in Korea recently, to solve the problems of conflicts and reduced capacity of turning. It suggests a table of location of the stop line so that the engineers who design the intersection design appropriate left turn trajectory and marking of the stop line and turn trajectory is done more exactly. To evaluate the effect of "drop island", two intersections with and without drop island were compared on the turnning radii and location of stop line. Construction of "drop island" can increase the capacity of intersection and safety without additional land and construction expenses.

This study presents how low quality coal combustion affects the desulfurizer draft system by correlating of draft loss in a coal-fired thermal power plant and predicts the stall occurrence time of a booster fan. In case of low quality coal, a lot of coal is needed to generate equivalent output power, thereby the rating of increasing draft loss was faster than designed amount of coal. We surely confirmed that draft loss affects the specific energy of a booster fan strongly. On this basis, it is possible to predict the occurring time of stall for a booster fan from current operation specific energy to stall limit specific energy. This study suggests increasing speed of draft loss in each caloric value and the impact of specific energy at a booster fan, it expects to help safe operating in a thermal power plant.

For estimation of Ko value depending upon the stress history of dry sand, a new type of Ko oedometer apparatus is devised, and the horizontal earth pressure is accurately measured. For this study, 2 types of one-cyclic Ko loading/unloading models have been studied experimentally using four relative densities of the sand. The results obtained in this test are as follows Kon, the coefficient of earth pressure at rest for virgin loading is a function of the angle of internal friction of the sand and is determined as Kon=1-0.914 sin, Kou the coefficient of earth pressure at -rest for virgin unloading is a function of K. and overconsolidation ratio(OCR), and is determined as Kou : Kon(OCR)". The exponent u, increases as the relative density increases. Ko,, the coefficient of earth pressure at rest for virgin reloading decreases in hyperbola type as the vertical stress, cv', increases. And, the stress path at virgin reloading lends to the maximum prestress point, independent upon the value of the minimum unloading stress. The gradient of this curve, mr, increases as OCR increases.ases.

We present a new watermark design tool for digital images and digital videos that are based on human visual system (HVS) characteristics. In this tool, basic mechanisms (inhibitory and excitatory behaviour of cells) of HVS are used to determine image dependent upper bound values on watermark insertion. This allows us to insert maximai allowable transparent watermark, which in turn is extremely hard to attack with common image processing, Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) compression. As the number of details (e.g. edges) increases in an image, the HVS decrease its sensitivity to the details. In the same manner, as the number of motion increases in a video signal, the HVS decrease its sensitivity to the motions. We model this decreased sensitivity to the details and motions as an (motion) entropy masking. Entropy masking model can be efficiently used to increase the robustness of image and video watermarks. We have shown that our entropy-masking model provides watermark scheme with increased transparency and henceforth increased robustness.

원자력발전소 고장 및 불시정지 사례의 상당수가 시스템과 연계되어 인간에 의해 수행되는 운전, 유지보수, 관리와 관련된 인적오류에 기인하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 인적오류는 원자력발전소의 안전성과 효율성의 유지에 중요한 변수로 작용하며 불시정지에 의한 경제적 손실과 사회적 충격을 초래 하게 된다. 특히, 국내 원자력발전소가 외국설계라는 점과 인적요인에 대한 체계적인 평가가 이루어 지 지 않은 상태에서 운영중인 것을 감안하면, 인적요인의 국가별 차이에서 발생가능한 인적오류 유발요인 이 상존하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 인적오류의 중요성에 비해 국내 원자력 발전소의 인적오류에 대 한 연구는 지금까지 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 국내 원자력발전소에서 발생하는 인적 오류의 분석과 그 분석결과를 응용하기 위한 기술개발의 첫단계로, 기존 국외의 인적오류연구방법론 비교 분석, 국내 원전의 인적오류 발생현황 및 관련보고체계 분석, 등을 수행하여 국내 원자력발전소의 인적오류 분석 및 응용기술개발을 위한 연구개발 방향을 정립하였다. 기존 국외의 인적오류연구방법론 비교분석에서는, 인적오류에 대한 연구를 그 접근 방식에 따라 관리적 접근방식, 정량적 접근방식, 정성적 접근방식의 세가지로 분류하여, 각 접근방식에 대한 분석대상, 분석방식, 수행목적 등, 각 접근방식의 특징과 이에따른 실효성을 분석하였다. 그리고, 국내 원전의 인적오류 발생현황 및 관련보고체계분석에서는, 국내 원자력발전소에서 발생한 고장/정지 사건이 내포하고 있는 인적오류의 주요 형태를 파악하였으며, 또한, 인적오류연구 수행에 필수적인 인적오류사례원으로서 국내 원전에서의 인적오류 관련 보고체계에 대한 운용현황을 파악하고 그 유용성을 조사하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여, 국내에 적용가능한 인적오류 분석기술개발 추진을 위한 제약 조건과 이러한 제약조건을 극복하고 인적오류 분석기술 수준을 향상시키기 위한 필요충분조건을 파악하였으며, 이 필요충분조건을 고려하여 인적오류 분석기법개발, 인적 오류 사례전파 및 자료관리 기술개발, 인적오류 사례수집 기술개발, 등을 주요 골자로 하는 인적오류 분석기술개발의 기본 방향을 설정하였다. 이와 아울러, 오류사례의 수집, 상세분석, 자료의 저장 및 응용을 위한 hardware 및 software 환경을 체계화하였다.

Real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS surveying which allows centimeter level accuracy of three-dimensional coordinates without post-processing has become recognized as a major advance in GPS technology. Employing On-The-Fly initialization technique, the RTK system can escape from cycle slip problems that have affected as a main obstacle factor in traditional kinematic and static approaches. The objective of this research was to evaluate accuracy and effectiveness of the RTK-GPS surveying. First, the continuous RTK observation of a base line was conducted for the purpose of finding out the repeatability of the RTK surveying and the results which were then compared against results from static surveying showed RMS errors of $\pm{3mm}\;and\;\pm{13mm}$ for their respective horizontal and vertical components. On a test network of 30 stations covering the small area, the results of RTK testing were compared against those from not only post-processing kinematic and rapid-static surveyings but conventional surveyings and also the efficiency of RTK were analyzed. In addition, geoid heights which were derived by combination of GPS and spirit leveling about all of the points within the network were compared against those derived by the PNU95 and EGM96 models respectively.

The longitude and latitude of a geosynchronous satellite are not defined as a point in space because of various external perturbations. To perform the missions of a satellite for a communication and broadcasting, the satellite must be positioned within a predefined station keeping box in given limited space longitude. In this study, we propose east-west station keeping box larger than that of north-south station. By using the derived error equation, we verified the Koreasat station keeping box allocation by assuming one week and two weeks of station keeping cycle.

This paper presents a new contents-based digital still image protection method which includes a copyright message. Since the existing method using gradient values used a pixel based $3{\times}3$ Sobel operator, it was sensitive to attacks and could not extract exact copyright message. Therefore, in this paper, we present a algorithm which uses block based OCL(Orientation Certainty Level) instead of pixel. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme not only has good image quality, but also is robust to JPEG lossy compression, filtering, sharpening, blurring and noise. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has good performance more than 10% in rotation attacks than the existing method.

In this study, the improved throughput and stability in device fabrication could be obtained by applying CMP process to STi structue in 0.18 um semiconductor device. To employ the CMP process in STI structure, the Reverse Moat Process used to be added after STI Fill, as a result, the process became more complex and the defect were seriously increased than they had been,. Removal rate of each thin film in STI CMP was not uniform, so, the device must have been affected. That is, in case of excessive CMP, the damage on the active area was occurred, and in the case of insufficient CMP nitride remaining was happened on that area. Both of them deteriorated device characteristics. As a solution to these problems, the development of slurry having high removal rate and high oxide to nitride selectivity has been studied. The process using this slurry afford low defect levels, improved yield, and a simplified process flow. In this study, we evaluated the 'High Selectivity Slurry' to do a global planarization without reverse moat step, and also we evaluated EPD(Eend Point Detection) system with which 'in-situ end point detection' is possible.
