  • To determine stream network and watershed boundary using DEM, it is necessary to remove sink and flat area in proper way. There are filling algorithm and breaching algorithm to remove sink and Jenson and Domingue algorithm, relief algorithm and combined gradient algorithm to determine flow direction in flat area. In this study, the algorithms are reviewed. The computer program which uses filling algorithm with breaching algorithm and combined gradient algorithm to remove errors in DEM is developed. The results from this program are compared with Arc/Info which uses filling algorithm and Jenson and Domingue algorithm. The characteristics of stream network extracted from the DEM are analyzed. They are compared with the stream from NGIS map for stream morphology and characters by stream order to examine the value of this study.

  • The purpose of this study is to simulate inundation and evaluate the applicability of LISFLOOD model to the streams in South Korea by comparing with the inundation map using FLUMEN. The suggested levee breaching scenarios were applied to the LISFLOOD model, and the results obtained from scenarios were evaluated. The modeling results using LISFLOOD by appling the levee breaching scenarios showed 0.2% ~ 42% relative error with FLUMEN model in inundation area. But the relative error of maximum inundation area by overlapping all the flood analysis results from levee breaching scenarios such as the way making flood risk map was approximately 1.2% between two models. Meanwhile, LISFLOOD model was easy to construct input data, DEM as topographic data and discharge hydrograph as upper boundary conditions. And computing time of LISFLOOD was shorter than FLUMEN. Therefore LISFLOOD model can be applied usefully in the region that needs immediate inundation modeling.

  • Background: The study analyzes penalties imposed on organizations for breaching safety and health regulations. The research questions are as follows: what are the commonly breached safety and health regulations? How proportional are penalties imposed on organizations for breaching health and safety regulations in the United Kingdom? Methods: The study employed sequential explanatory mixed research strategies for better understanding of health and safety penalties imposed on organizations. Actual health and safety convictions and penalties data for 10 years (2006 to 2016) were obtained through the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE) public register for convictions. Overall, 2,217 health and safety cases were analyzed amounting to total fines of £37,179,916, in addition to other wide-ranging penalties. For thorough understanding, eight interviews were conducted with industry practitioners, lawyers, and HSE officials as part of the study qualitative data. Results: Findings show that the Health and Safety at Work (HSW) Act accounted for 46% of all HSE prosecution cases in the last decade. This is nearly half of the total safety and health at work prosecutions. Moreover, there is widespread desire for organizations to comply with the HSW Act, but route fines are seen as burdensome and inimical to business growth. Conclusion: A key deduction from the study reveal significant disproportionality concerning penalties imposed on organizations for breaching safety and health regulations. On aggregate, small companies tend to pay more for health and safety offenses in a ratio of 1:2 compared to large companies. The study also reveals that the HSW Act accounted for nearly half of the total safety and health at work prosecutions in the last decade.

  • This paper presents a boundary-layer wind tunnel (BLWT) study on the effect of variable dominant openings on steady and transient responses of wind-induced internal pressure in a low-rise building. The paper presents a parametric study focusing on differences and similarities between transient and steady-state responses, the effects of size and locations of dominant openings and vent openings, and the effects of wind angle of attack. In addition, the necessity of internal volume correction during sudden breaching, i.e., a transient response experiment was investigated. A comparison of the BLWT data with ASCE 7-2010, as well as with limited large-scale data obtained at a 'Wall of Wind' facility, is presented.

  • We report a theoretical research for the condition of electromagnetic shield breaching when a narrow aperture is punctured in thin metal film. To calculate electromagnetic field transmission through a narrow slit, a Rayleigh wave expansion has been applied for free standing, thin metal film. We found that the DC electric field allows perfect transmission when the length of the slit is infinite, regardless of the other geometrical factors such as slitwidth and thickness. Slitwidth dependent transmission spectra as a function of frequency shows a cutoff frequency that decreases almost linearly to the slitwidth, giving that almost successful shielding is only possible when the slitwidth is smaller than 1 micron.

  • In recent years, data are actively exploited in various fields. Hence, there is a strong demand for sharing and publishing data. However, sensitive information regarding people can breach the privacy of an individual. To publish data while protecting an individual's privacy with minimal information distortion, the privacy- preserving data publishing(PPDP) has been explored. PPDP assumes various attacker models and has been developed according to privacy models which are principles to protect against privacy breaching attacks. In this paper, we first present the concept of privacy breaching attacks. Subsequently, we classify the privacy models according to the privacy breaching attacks. We further clarify the differences and requirements of each privacy model.

  • Namdae-cheon in Gangwon-do Province, Korea, is a valuable well-preserved lagoon. The estuary of Namdae-cheon Stream is closed because of the surrounding natural sand shoal. Thus, during the dry season, river water cannot easily flow to the ocean and therefore stagnates. River water congestion causes environmental deterioration of estuaries, often by eutrophication. In this study, we examined wall disintegration in the estuary area and used it to determine appropriate measures for the conservation of estuary water quality in the future. A total of 24 sites were selected, with 13 sites on the west side and 11 sites on the east side of the estuary study area. Samples were collected and analyzed for particle size and moisture content both vertically and horizontally. Sedimentary deposition rate was measured, and subsidence analysis was performed. Particle size, water content, sedimentary deposition, and subsidence analyses indicated that flow shifted to the west during the study period. In conjunction with other variables that may affect changes in flow, these parameters can be used in future research to predict shoal breaches and associated changes in water flow direction.

A Study on the Sphere of Application of the Provision for Interest under the CISG (국제물품매매계약(國際物品賣買契約)에 관한 UN협약상(協約上) 이자지급규정(利子支給規定)의 적용범위(適用範圍)에 관한 연구(硏究))

  • As to the sphere of application, Article 78 CISG undoubtedly applies to interest on the purchase price. Furthermore, the provision also applies to "any other sum that is in arrears". This language has been interpreted to encompass expenses that one party had on behalf of the other as well as reimbursements when the purchase price is reduced according to Article 50 CISG. However, it is questionable whether this language also extends to claims for damages. Legal scholars seem to agree that one has a right to interest on damage claims under Article 78 if the amount in question has been liquidated vis-a-vis the other party. Whether this right to interest also applies to unliquidated sums, is controversial, however. In this study, as a result of taking into account the puspose of Article 78, we could find the fact that regardless of whether the exact amount of damages has been specified yet, the breaching party still owes compensation to the other party from the time of the breach and, accordingly, the non-breaching party should be entitled to interest payments on the loss from that time. Consequently, Article 78 applies not only to liquidated but also to unliquidated damages.

  • The head-end processes of spent TRISO fuel have been reviewed to understand the current status and the limitations of the reported processes. The main concerns in the TRISO treatment are to effectively breach and separate the carbon and SiC layers composing the TRISO particles. The crush-bum scheme which was considered in the early stages of the development has been replaced by the crush-leach or $CO_2$ burning and the succeeding CO decomposition process because of a sequestration problem of $CO_2$ containing $^{14}C$. However there are still many obstacles to overcome in the reported processes. Hence, innovative thermomechanical and pyrochemical concepts to breach the coating layers of the TRISO particle with a minimized amount of second waste are proposed in this paper and their principles are described in detail.
