We present $10{\mu}m-35{\mu}m$ Spitzer spectra of the interstellar medium in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), the central 210 pc ${\times}$ 60 pc of the Galactic center (GC). We present maps of the CMZ in ionic and $H_2$ emission, covering a more extensive area than earlier spectroscopic surveys in this region. The radial velocities and intensities of ionic lines and $H_2$ suggest that most of the $H_2$ 0-0 S(0) emission comes from gas along the line-of-sight, as found by previous work. We compare diagnostic line ratios measured in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) to our data. Previous work shows that forbidden line ratios can distinguish star-forming galaxies from LINERs and AGNs. Our GC line ratios agree with star-forming galaxies and not with LINERs or AGNs.

In this paper, a novel triple-band circular-ring monopole antenna with a half-circular ring and ground slot for wireless local area network/Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WLAN/WiMAX) applications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of one circular ring, a half-circular ring and a rectangular slot in the ground plane. Based on the concept, a prototype of the proposed triple-band antenna was designed, fabricated and tested. The numerical and experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. Furthermore, this paper presents and discusses the 2D radiation patterns and 2D gains according to the results of the experiment.

This paper presents a multi-phase ring VCO for low-cost, low-power GPS receiver. In the RF band used in GPS, L1 band is now in commercial-use and L2,L5 are predicting to be commercial-use soon. Thus Wide band PLL and Cost-effective IC solutions are required for future multi-band GPS receiver that received three types band at once. A new PLL architecture for multi-band GPS application is proposed. Ring VCO is even smaller than LC-VCO and a good alternative for low-cost solution. Proposed multi-phase ring VCO offers wide frequency range covering L1, L2, and L5 band, 20% reduction of area, 23% reduction of PLL power and can generate I/Q without extra I/Q generator.

This study was designed to obtain the basic data developing the UV ray protective garments for the plastichouse workers. Two subjects were volunteered for 1hr. wear test in plastic house, and the ensembles was composed of one of three kinds blouse (UV blocking blouse, polyester/cotton 47/53 blouse, and polyester blouse), shorts, sleeveless undershirts, pants and socks. The measurements were rectal temperature, skin temperature, microclimate inside clothing, subjective sensation, and the colour difference of UV sensor. The results were as follows: 1. Microclimate especially, temperature inside clothing of polyester blouse was the highest among the garments. And UV-proof polyester blouse showed the lower mean skin temperature and microclimate than others. Showing the highest sweat volume. 2. No significant difference on UV ray blocking function among 3 kinds of garment was shown. 3. We could conform that in spring for the plastic house wぉw s garment low thermal insulating value and wide covering area were more important factors than UV blocking function of fabric.

The progressive contamination of water resulted from man's activity and the use of fertilizers is not restricted only to surface water, but also the shallow groundwater is affected. This type of groundwater contamination is mainly restricted to areas composed of permeable, nonconsolidated sediments forming a shallow aquifer. The chloride and the sulfate resulted from man's activity and the use of fertilizers were measured to study the variations of the groundwater contamination. In general, (1) When water level rises, the rate of groundwater contamination becomes less and when water level declines, the rate of contamination is increased. (2) The highly contaminated season is the early-summer and the less contaminated season is the winter or after rainy season. (3) The groundwater in weathering zone without covering layer. (4) The degree of contamination of wells is increased with the increase of well depth and lowing the water table, because of increasing contaminated water from enlargement of the area of influence of the well.

Gotjawal forest refers to the forest covering the rocky area of "AA Lava" on Jeju Island of South Korea. In this article it is shown that Gotjawal forest is an internationally important wetland under the Ramsar Convention. Gotjawal forest should be regarded as a wetland because it is a subterranean hydrological system, which is classified as wetland under the Ramsar Convention. And Gotjawal forest is an internationally important wetland because it is the representative wetland type of Jeju region with hydrological importance, and because it supports rare species of plants.

The existing Highway LA-1 of US is required to be replaced for covering increasing regional demands of transportation such as Hurricane evacuation and oil industry. This 28 km crosses wetlands and is a sensitive environmental area. Huge amount of soil investigation and laboratory tests were performed with best efforts to overcome inherit errors of sampling, disturbance, and testing procedures for this project. The data scattering was corrected through using central tendency theory.

It was discussed to satellite based DCS (NOAA, Orbcomm, ADEOS-II, CBERS in polar satellite and GMS, GOES, METEOSAT, INSAT, FY-2 in geostationary satellite) with PTT (Platform Transmitter Terminal) and DCP (Data collection Platform) in order to application of real-time DCS (Data Collection System) in the ocean and fisheries. For covering ocean data link area in the eastern hemisphere, it was proposed to take DCS on the Korean geostationary satellite in the marine environments.

In this paper, the effectiveness of three different control algorithms are thoroughly investigated via simulation and a proposed efficiency evaluation method of experimentation. Both the steady state and transient characteristics of each control algorithm along with its measured efficiency are analyzed. Finally, a novel two-mode maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm combining the constant voltage control and the incremental conduction (IncCond) methods is proposed to improve the efficiency of the 3KW PV power generation system at different insolation conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed two-mode MPPT control provides excellent performance at less than 30% insolation intensity, covering the whole insolation area without additional hardware circuitry.

Forensic Engineering is the area covering the investigation of products, structures that fail to perform or do not function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. To investigate explosion accident of the centrifugal casting machine in terms of the forensic engineering, in this paper, the computing simulation using ADINA FSI has performed to investigate that the effect of the Check-Pin fracture by the flow phenomena and molten metal weight and the mechanical properties test of the accident Check-Pin has performed using the instrumented indentation technique. Through these studies, the safety accident that may occur in centrifugal casting machine can be minimized by performing specialized and systematic investigation of the accident cause in terms of the forensic engineering.
