Ulsan Port is the main port for handling liquid cargo because of natural environmental conditions and the distribution of port infrastructures in Korea. Damage to both liquid cargo vessels and the port structure caused by maritime accidents could have a serious impact on property and human lives as well as the marine environment. For safe navigation, the parties concerned should ensure the suitability of various design criteria at the harbor design stage. In this paper we analyze and compare various domestic and international harbor design criteria, and then apply each criteria to Ulsan port to evaluate its overall safety. Additionally, this paper specifies certain precautions in terms of reviewing a ship's safety for each channel at Ulsan Port, and suggests possible improvements to optimize channel design.

Harbor and Fishery Design Criteria defines that ship routing should be designed to ensure safe ship navigation and easy maneuvering. The design of the channel width is one of the critical conditions in routeing of ships. For the criteria of the channel width, qualitative evaluation criteria are used in South Korea, whereas quantitative evaluation criteria are used in other countries. Environmental factors, such as winds, tidal currents, and waves directly or indirectly affect ship resistance when sailing. Depending on their strength the environmental factors may pose a threat to the safe navigation of ships. Thus, vessel traffic control was regulated in South Korea according to the Beaufort scale. In order to design the channel width to reflect the environmental factors closely related to the safe navigation of ships, quantitative evaluation criteria reflected with environmental factors were presented in other countries, however, these external factors were not considered in South Korea. This study analyzed the relationship between the channel width actually used by ships and environmental factors by using the trajectories of ships entering and leaving Mokpo Port. This study also suggested the required channel width according to tidal currents and compared it with the channel width design criteria of other countries.

This study aims at improving the channel of Pudo-sudo in Chinhae-Man according to the development project of the port of Masan, by investigating the design criteria of harbour facilities for the maximum sized ship. The new deep-water route was proposed and according to it the present separation scheme was adjusted appropriately. The width of the deep-water route is suggested to be 350m and would be wide enough for the 30,000 DWT container ship to go through However, the proposed channel will be tested and validated by the shiphandling simulator.

The advantages of the multi-channel retailing have been widely discussed but empirical research on fashion multi-channel retailing has been limited. In this study, multi-channel concept was discussed and then, channel choosing condition of apparel shopper and channel choosing criteria for information search and buying were investigated as a empirical study. Drawing on a sample of 298 customers of apparel products in Korea, the result demonstrated that some differences in the perception of experience goods and search goods among apparel products. And, according to buying channel, consumers were different from each other in information search time and clothing expenses. Some suggestion for the future research of multi-channel retailing was given.

A study of counter-current two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels has been performed. Two-phase flow regimes were experimentally investigated in a 760mm long and 100mm wide test section with 2.0 and 5.0mm gap widths. The resulting flow regime maps were compared with the existing transition criteria. The experimental data and the transition criteria of the models showed relatively good agreement. However, the discrepancies between the experimental data and the model predictions of the flow regime transition become pronounced as the gap width increased. As the gap width increased the transition gas superficial velocities increased. The critical void fraction for the bubbly-to-slug transition was observed to be about 0.25. The two-phase distribution parameter for the slug flow was larger for the narrower channel. The uncertainties in the distribution parameter could lead to a disagreement in slug-to-churn transition between the experimental findings and the transition criteria. For the transition from churn to annular flow the effect of liquid superficial velocity was found to be insignificant.

In this study, in order to establish the criteria for evaluation of importance by the type of facility specialized for agricultural reservoirs, an expert group consisting of a total of 167 members who were in management, or specialized in the fields of design, research, and diagnosis were organized, and the importance for facilities was set with application of the AHP technique. The importance of dam body, spillway, and intake structure composing a reservoir were set at 59%, 24%, and 17%, and the importance of dam crest, upstream slope, and downstream slope constituting a dam body was set at 32%, 31%, and 37%, respectively. In addition, the importance of approach channel, regulated channel, chute channel, and stilling basin consisting a spillway was set at 15%, 44%, 26%, and 15%, and the importance of inclined conduit and outlet conduit consisting an intake structure was set at 35% and 65%, respectively. The safety grade of the reservoirs evaluated by applying the newly presented importance values in this study showed the rearrangement of the grades with a change of 11% compared to the previous grades. In this way, the newly established criteria are expected to be utilized as basic data with strategic importance in reservoir safety management and disaster prevention as well as the operation of systems in the future.

In this paper, we introduce an encoder design technique of multiple symbol trellis coded modulation for noncoherent continuous phase frequency shift keying (MTCM/NCPFSK) on the interleaved Rician fading channel. To find dominant factors which affects the error probability of MTCM/NCPFSK, we derive the pairwise error probability (PEP) of MTCM/NCPFSK and find that the error probability mainly depends on the effective length of error event and the corresponding squared product distance (SPD) for the small value of Rician parameter K. Using this performance criteria, we search for the optimal encoder of MTCM/NCPFSK for the interleaved Rician fading channel. We also compare that encoder with the encoder designed for additive white Gaussian noise channel.

The purpose of this study is to propose the design criteria and detailed design model by reviewing the issues related to geometry, formation process, destruction process, hydraulic function, restoration and ecological function of the step-pool from the existing research results, to apply the step-pool sequences to river restoration. Based on the analysis and review results, the design criteria for the structure and size of the step-pool are presented as ratio of the step spacing and the channel width, ratio of the unit step slope and channel slope, and ratio of step height and the particle size. To ensure structural stability of the step, stability analysis method of overturning based on the keystone theory was proposed as a design criterion. As a detailed design concept, a layout model was proposed by applying the imbricating structure of keystones and arch stones to the planar, longitudinal and transverse configurations of the step-pool.
