Jurassic granites of three sites, Pocheon, Geochang and Habcheon, were analysed with respect to the characteristics of the rock cleavage. Microscopic analysis for the oriented thin sections of the specimens was conducted by using the scanline survey technique to measure microcrack direction, spacing and length. The results showed that the preferred orientations of microcrack developed in quartz and feldspar arc coincident with the orientation of quarry planes. The length of microcrack is related to grain size. The length of microcrack in coarse-grained granite is longer than that in relatively fine-grained granite. In all granites, microcracks related to the preferred orientations are well developed in order of rift, grain and hardway planes in number, length and density.

The main purpose of this study was to verify the shore margin protection effect of the root system of Salix gracilistyla Miq. developed from direct sticking cuttings on wetland, focusing on the effect of the root system reducing soil particle dissociation rate in water. The soil dissociation rate was examined through slaking tests with cylindric pure soil column at maximum particle density and the same size column of root reinforced soil. The dry weight of remained soil was measured after 5, 10, 15, 30minutes and 1, 6, 12, 24, 48hours inundation. As results, the soil particles began to dissociate severely at 10 minutes and only 10% of soil particles were left after 25minutes inundation. The stable slope angle of pure soil was $36^{\circ}$after 24 hours. On the other hand, the columns of root reinforced soil were stable even after 24hours, being dissociated only 7.2% of soil particles. So, it was revealed that the root system was very effective materials protecting more than 80% of soil particle from dissociation in inundation.

Poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was used as a precursor of PVA/PVAc (skin/core) bicomponent. In order to investigate the possibility of PVA particles for electrical applications, PVA/PVAc particles were produced with an emulsifier, SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) and an initiator, V-50 (2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)digydrochloride). In this study, we investigated the electrical property of PVA/PVAc (skin/core) particles. The hydroxyl group of the PVA/PVAc (skin./core) was confirmed by the analysis of PVAc and PVA/PVAc (skin/core) using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The zeta-potential of the PVA/PVAc (skin/core) and PVAc has similarity; however, charge control agent (CCA) treated PVA/PVAc (skin/core) particles has lower zeta-potential than untreated PVA/PVAc particles. The zeta-potential (negative values) of the PVA/PVAc (skin/core) were enhanced in proportion to the increased concentration of CCA.

In this study, we have investigated the dielectric breakdown by measuring AC (60Hz) breakdown strength of the fluids in accordance with IEC 156 standard and have compared the results with references. It was found that the dielectric breakdown voltage of pure transformer oil is around 12 [kV] with the gap distance of 1.5mm between electrodes. In case of our transformer oil based magnetic fluids with 0.1% < ${\Phi}$(volume concentration of magnetic particles) <0.6%, the dielectric breakdown voltage shows above 30 [kV], which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure transformer oil. It can be explained by the changed ionization process by adding nanoparticles in pure transformer oil, which is due to trapped fast electrons and slow negative nanoparticles. Moreover, in case of the fluid with applied magnetic field, the dielectric breakdown voltage increases above 40 [kV], which is 3.3 times higher than that of pure transformer oil.

Tsunamis are ocean waves generated by movements of the Earth's crust. Several geophysical events can lead to this kind of catastrophe: earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and other mechanisms such as underwater explosions. Most of the damage associated with tsunamis are related to their run-up onto the shoreline. Therefore, effectively predicting the run-up process is an important aspect of any seismic sea wave mitigation effort. In this paper, a numerical simulation of the behaviors of a floating body near a quaywall during a tsunami is conducted by using a particle method. First, a solitary wave traveling over shallow water with a slope is numerically simulated, and the results are compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, the behaviors of floating bodies with different drafts are investigated numerically.

In this study, the wave profiles and kinematics of highly nonlinear waves at various water depths were calculated using a 2D fully nonlinear Numerical Wave Tank (NWT). The NWT was developed based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM) with the potential theory and the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) time marching scheme by 4th-order Runge-Kutta time integration. The spatial variation of intermediate-depth waves along the direction of wave propagation was caused by the unintended generation of 2nd-order free waves, which were originally investigated both theoretically and experimentally by Goda (1998). These free waves were induced by the mismatch between the linear motion of wave maker and nonlinear displacement of water particles adjacent to the maker. When the 2nd-order wave maker motion was applied, the spatial modulation of the waves caused by the free waves was not observed. The respective magnitudes of the nonlinear wave components for various water depths were compared. It was found that the high-order wave components greatly increase as the water depth decreases. The wave kinematics at various locations were calculated and compared with the linear and the Stokes 2nd-order theories.

This study was carried out to investigate the collection Efficiency of mass in collector step at the different of physical gas characterization. This work has focused on the dependence of the collection efficiency of mass in the collector zone of a two-stage set up field with gas temperature T and the dew point tmeperature. To identify the dependence of the mass collection efficiency on the Bounded plate of the collector zone MP.k by the spectre electric resistance of dust $p_e$. and the relative humidify ${\varphi}$, 20 at- tempts have been made with three different gas temperature ($50{\circ}C, 80{\circ}C, 110{\circ}C$) at different dew point. At the specific electric resistance of dust $p_e$=$10^6{\Omega}m$ which relative humidity corresponds to $\phi$ > 15%, a easy rise of the sounded plate secluded dust mass share was measured atwain. As the result of the higher cohesion imprisonment power due to the adsorbtion of particle, the rinse of the relative humidity developed on the particle surface. Therefore, the collection efficiency of mass was not predominant the high temperature T in the collector zone, neither was the pecific ellectric resistance of dust dependent.

Transmissivity and the signal loss in soil are computed. An electric field expression for the inhomogeneous complex media modelled by two layers is shown as an integral form. Volume scattering occurs in inhomogeneous media, and iterative Born approximation is used to analyze this scattering effect. The degree of randomness is controlled by specifying the variance and correlation length. Expression for the transmissivity and the signal loss is presented as the parameter of soil moisture contents, soil particle radius, temperature and frequency. The analysis shows that big deviation in signal loss depends on the temperature variation remarkably and the physical reason of unusual level is explained.

Drawing process of Al-1%Si bonding wire considering fine Si particle is analyzed in this study using FE-simulation. Al-1%Si boding wire requires electric conductivity because Al-1%Si bonding wire is used for interconnection in semiconductor device. About 1% of Si is added to Al wire for dispersion-strengthening. Distribution and shape of fine Si particle have strongly influence on the wire drawing process. In this study, therefore, the finite-element model based on the observation of wire by continuous casting is used to analyze the effect of various parameters, such as the reduction in area, the semi-die angle, the aspect ratio, the inter-particle spacing and orientation angle of the fine Si particle on wire drawing processes. The effect of each parameter on the wire drawing process is investigated from the aspect of ductility and defects of wire. From the results of the analysis, it is possible to obtain the important basic data which can be guaranteed in the fracture prevention of Al-1 %Si wire.

An analytical method for particulate carbon and other elements by using elemental analyzer was investigated. Carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen was determined as CO$_{2}$, H$_{2}$, and N$_{2}$, respectively. Organic was determined after scparation from elemental carbon(Cae) by volatilization and thermal decomposition in a heated helium flow. With organic materials examined in this reprot, more than 90% of carbon was detected as above 600$^{\circ}$C. But it is considered that a few percents of some compounds were charred above 550$^{\circ}$C. A small amount of Cae was oxidized in the inert atmosphere above 850$^{\circ}$C, but the reason was not explained clearly. Based on the thermal chracteristics of Cao it was found that the optimum temperature of heating in the helium flow of an elemental analyzer for Cao analysis is 630$^{\circ}$C. Carbon in a sample after removing Cao was assumed as Cae and the gramatom ratio of hydrogen to carbon in the sample was 0.4 and less. Rescovery of nitrogen derived from some ammonium salts and nitrates was 100% by two-step measurement with elemental analyzer. By the analytical method investigated in this report, carbon and other elements in suspended particulates(S.P) collected at an urban area in Seoul were measured. There was a good correlation between total nitrogen in SP measured by elemental analyzer and nitrogen estimated form ammonium ions and nitrate ions in SP. The nitrogen from these ions accounts for 80% of the total nitrogen. It is further suggested that the residue(20%) of the total nitrogen is attributed to the other nitrogeneous compounds.
