An immunocapture reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC/RT-PCR) was developed for simultaneous detection of two pepper-infecting RNA viruses, Pepper mud mottle virus (PMMoV) and Tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV). The assay could be performed in a single tube for simultaneous and sensitive detection of these tobamoviruses. This detection system revealed thousand-fold increase in detection sensitivity compare to ELISA. This method could save time and reagent cost compare to common RT-PCR which needs several reactions and several procedures of viral RNA extractions for the same number of samples.

PURPOSES: Regional offices of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs use a computerized system called KAMIS so as to manage road equipment systematically. Road agencies can record number of operating days by equipment, actual working hours, accumulated operating hours (or distance) by equipment, and operating cost. However, KAMIS does not provide critical information, although it is strongly related to efficient road management equipment operation. In other words, road agencies do not know whether they have sufficient equipment to handle their actual work. METHODS: Therefore, this study suggests a methodology to evaluate for operational efficiency of road management equipment using analytical hierarchy process(AHP). First of all, estimated weights related criteria can be produced by AHP, and then use operational history by pieces of equipment. RESULTS: Results show that importance of management work can differ from weather conditions through five areas. CONCLUSIONS: Commonly, this results can imply to help save money for the purchase and maintenance of road management equipment, and they would improve the functional performance of KAMIS.

High speed rotating machines can be very sensitive to rotating mass unbalance that is a major source of harmful vibration for many types of rotating machinery. So, the balancing procedure is needed for all high-speed rotating system. To save the time and cost of off-line balancing, many researchers have developed the on-line balancing devices and methods. In this paper, an active balancing device, which is an electro-magnetic type, is developed and the active balancing algorithm using influence coefficient method is also proposed. The active balancing experiment for flexible rotors during operation is performed by an active balancing device. As a result, controlled unbalance responses are below the vibration limit at all rotating speed ranges with critical speed.

Proper design of blocker dies is one of the most important aspect of impression and closed-die forging to achieve adequate metal distribution. Determination of the blocker configuration is a very difficult task and is art in itself, requiring skills achieved only by years of extensive experience. To save the cost and time of blocker design, many methods using computer were proposed. In this research, low pass filter method proposed by Oh etc. was applied to blocker die design of spoiler support, part of aircraft and plasticine model experiment of closed die forging of spoiler support was accomplished to verify the validity of the blocker designed.

M/S TB(Mash Seam Tailored Blank) is a production method for blanks by welding together blanks of different material, thickness and coating, and is an attractive method for manufacturing car body because it makes parts lighter and can save the cost and time to manufacture. However, there have not been quantified criteria to evaluate the quality of TB weld. This study introduced FHR (failure height ratio) in order to assess formability or/and weldability of the M/S welds and the applicability of FHR was confirmed by actual auto body forming and FLD tests. Furthermore, a new parameter, HN(heat number) based on the heat input of "$Q=I^2Rt$" was proposed and assessed. It was found that the concept of HN could be utilized to evaluate the soundness of M/S welds without any destructive tests.ive tests.

Roller-compacted concrete(RCC) dam is a new type that combines advantages of earthfill dam and concrete dam in construction, This method save cost due to their rapid method of construction. RCC is, used in RCC dams, no-slump concrete so it is different that measure method of consistency and mixture properties compare with conventional mass concrete, There are existing two major design method, which one used in USA the other used in Japan. The results obtained in this study would be useful in establishing mixture proportions for dam concrete for RCC dams by apply method of compound their merit.

In home-style microwave oven, silica-Al powder mixture was ignited among pellets and combustion wave-front propagated to produce Si+AIN+Al2O3 as resultant phases under N2 atmosphere. Without cooling pro-cedure the resultant phases of Si+AIN+Al2O3 continously absorbed microwave and were heated to be syn-thesized into sialon phases. This synthesis rate of sialon phases from silica-Al powder mixture in home-style microwave oven was higher than that in conventional furnace, and total processing time was around 1 hour, which could save energy and cost.

The proposed GTO converter system has the better harmonic characteristics, especially, in the distortion factor (55%), than the conventional 12-step converter system. The improved harmonic characteristics was achieved through the unsymmetrical angle control of the each converter. In addition, the proposed system can save the cost (20%), spase (50%) and weigh (8%). The proposed system was studied in simulation and experiment.

In this study firstly we survey the calculation method and the characteristics of the way of estimating CBL(Customer BaseLine Load) that is important calculation tool for DRP internationally. Also we analyze the power consumption pattern using the 15 minutes load profiles of about 120,000 customers in domestic. Based on this pattern, we provide the CBL calculation method that can be utilized in DRP to save the cost, and analyze the accuracy of the CBL calculation proposed in this paper through the simulation.

When constructing a high-speed railroad, the reduction of the distance between track centers and the width of track bed will save the construction cost. However the shortening the distance between track centers may cause the stability problems due to higher wind pressure. Therefore the extensive technical review and aerodynamical study should be performed to determine the adequate distance between track centers. In this study, the impact that the increase in wind pressure due to the change of aerodynamic phenomena with the change of the distance between track centers may have on two trains passing by each other was predicted, and the stability of train operation was analyzed in order to review the distance between track centers suitable to Honam HSR trains. And we estimated the aerodynamical effects by the results of the real train experiments by using KTX.
