This study applied conditional merging (CM) spatial interpolation technique to obtain the satellite and in-situ composite soil moisture data. For the analysis, 24 gages of hourly in-situ data sets from the Rural Development Administration (RDA) of Korea and the satellite soil moisture data retrieved from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth observing system (AMSR-E) were used. In order to verify the performance of the CM method, leave-one-out cross validation was used. The cross validation result was spatially interpolated to figure out spatial correlation of the CM method. The results derived from this study are as follow: (1) The CM method produced better soil moisture map over Korean Peninsula than AMSR-E did for the over 100 days out of total 113 days considered for the analysis. (2) The method of CM showed high correlation with gage density and better performance on the western side of Korean peninsula due to high spatial gauge density. (3) The performance of CM is not affected by the non-rainy season unlike to AMSR-E data is. Overall, the result of this study indicates that the CM method can be applied for predicting soil moisture at ungaged locations.

Clay or sand does not exist alone but various sizes of soil are mixed in the field. In this study, the effect of water content on large deformation of such mixed soils is studied by using soil column tests and a particle method. A soil column with 7 cm in diameter and 13 cm in height, which was made out of kaolinite with sand content of 0, 10, 25, or 50%, was tested for large deformation. Its deformation was monitored with time. While increasing its water content from 40, 60, to 80%, a total of 12 types of soil column tests were carried out. The particle method simulated their deformation with time. A maximum plastic shear modulus, which was a function of undrained shear strength and plasticity index for soils with different water contents, was associated with soil viscosity to simulate large deformation of soil column. When a sand content of soil column was constant, the deformation of soil column increased with increasing water content. When a water content of soil column was constant, large deformation occurred with increasing the sand content. The maximum deformation, which was 22 cm in diameter, was observed in the case of water content of 80% and sand content of 50%. The particle method was able to relatively well simulate such large deformation and stress change of soils.

Recently, CM at Risk delivery system(CM@R) that could solve the problems of Design Bid Build delivery(DBB) system has been emerging. In the CM@R delivery system, the contractor negotiates for a maximum guaranteed price(GMP) with the client at the design stage, and the contractor carries out the construction within the GMP. In CM @ R, the construction company with expertise in construction participates from the design stage to reflects the construction know-how in the design. On the other hand, the modification design frequently occurs due to the change of the construction cost when negotiating the GMP. In addition, uncertainties are inherent in the GMP calculation because the calculation is based on unfinished drawings and documents. This study proposes a probabilistic GMP estimation method applying MCS to the BIM - based cost prediction model, in order to extract the accurate quantity information when estimating the GMP and to cope with the change of the construction cost inherent in uncertainty.

Intra- and inter-specific protoplast fusion of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Virginia 115) and pea (Pisum sativum cv. Sparkle) were carried out in highly inhomogeneous alternating electric fields. Under the electric field of alternating current (AC, sine wave), 600 V/cm and 800 kHz for tobacco protoplast, and 600 V/cm and 700 kHz for pea protoplasts, the protoplasts were aggregated in pearl chains. Intra-specific protoplast fusions were most effectively induced within the aggregates of tobacco and pea, respectively, by the additional application of a single high field pulse of direct current (DC, square wave) at 1 kV/cm for 50 $mutextrm{s}$. Inter-specific fusions between protoplasts of the two plants were most effectively induced in the electric field of 600 V/cm and 700 kHz, and square wave pulse at 1 kV/cm for 50 $mutextrm{s}$. The duration of the pulse over the electrical breakdown voltages was simulated from 1 to 100 $mutextrm{s}$ in both tobacco and pea protoplast. The yield of the electrofusion products was significantly high (above 60%), compared with that (20%) of the standard fusion method by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4,000, and the viability of electrofused protoplasts was above 70%, but that of PEG-fused protoplasts 8~16%, when determined by Evan's blue staining method.

This paper presents the intra capacitance modeling according to the winding method and section bobbin for CM choke capable of the EMI attenuation of broad bands from lower frequency bands to higher frequency bands and high frequency type common-mode choke capable of the EMI attenuation of high frequency band used in the EMI Block of LED-TV SMPS. In case of high frequency type CM choke, it can be explained the parasitic capacitance of A type and section bobbin type winding methods among them is much smaller than the other. The first resonant frequency of the proposed CM choke tends to increase as the parasitic capacitance becomes small and its impedance characteristics also show improved performance as the first resonant frequency increases. In the future, the CM chokes of high frequency type show it can be practically used in not only LED/LCD-TV SMPS but also several applications such as LED Lighting, Adapter and so on.

We have studied the hybrid method for reconstructing apodized chirped fiber Bragg gratings, using both an analytic estimation of grating parameters and an optimization algorithm. The Hilbert transform of the reflection spectrum was utilized to estimate grating parameters, and then the layer-peeling algorithm was used to obtain refined parameter values by the differential-evolution optimization process. Calculations for a fiber Bragg grating with wavelength chirp rate 2 nm/cm were obtained with an accuracy of $6{\times}10^{-5}nm/cm$ for the chirp rate and $3{\times}10^{-9}nm/cm$ for the index modulation, with much improved calculation speed and high reliability.

The method of insertion of T-type cannula into the proximal duodenum of cattle was established for the feed digestibility test. Five cattle were anesthetized with rumpun and 2% lidocaine. The incision(15 ~ 20 cm) through the abdominal wall exposing the peritoneal cavity was made. The identified duodenum was extracted through the abdominal incision. The cannula was inserted into the incised duodenal wall. Cannula barrel was extracted between the 10th and 11th rib. All of operated cattle were healthy and cannula remained completely functional until 20 months after a proximal duodenal cannulation.

This work was designed to determine the optimum roasting conditions with application of a pressure roaster for improving the roasting process of the Polygonatum sibiricum tea which has been roasting with a traditional method. Soluble solid content of the Polygonatum cibiricum tea was 63.16% in the tea roasted at 0.85kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$(roasting pressure) and 13.9min(roasting time) which were maximum point by the ridge analysis. The optimum conditions predicted for each corresponding sensory properties of the Polygonatum cibirium tea were 0.87kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.2min in color, 0.89kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.7min in sweet 0.72kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 5.4min in burnt flavor, 0.89kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.9min in appetizing flavor, 0.87kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.3min in aftertaste, 0.89kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 10.0min in aroma, and 0.88kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.6min in overall acceptability of the tea. The optimum conditions based on the soluble solid content and sensory properties of the Polygonatum cibiricum tea, were 0.83~0.88kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 9.7~10.4min.

By using the Mass-Weighted-Cartesian coordinate method, the allosteric effect of 2,2'-bipyridyl crown(4) ether is studied. The vibrational modes of 235, 234, 188, and 178cm$^{-1}$ belong to the pore opening motion of crown ether and those of 168, 104, and 67cm$^{-1}$ belong to the rotational vibration motion of bipyridyl. Especially the mode appearing at 178cm$^{-1}$ shows a large allosteric effect by activation of the allosteric site.

According to the Korean Design Code for port and harbor facilaties, bearing capacity of rubble mound under eccentric and inclined load is calculated by the simplified Bishop method, and strength parameters are recommended to be c=0.2kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and ø=35$^{\circ}$for standard rubble if the compressive strength of parent rock is greater than 300kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, quoting from research results by Jun-ichi Mizukami(1991), But this facts have never been certified in Korea because there was not large-scale triaxial test apparatus until 2000 in Korea. Firstly in Korea, the large-scale triaxial test (sample diameter, 30cm and height, 60cm) on the rubble originated from porous basalt rock in North-Cheju was accomplished. Then strength parameters for basalt rubble produced in North-Cheju are recommended to be c=0.3kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and ø=36$^{\circ}$if the compressive strength of parent rock is greater than 400kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
