A number of different curve numbers are estimated, and three of them are the basin or composite curve numbers (CN-II and CN-III) evaluated from hydrologic soil cover complex, the observed curve numbers computed from rainfal1-runoff observations and the basin median curve numbers as a median of the observed curve numbers. Based on the observed runoff, CM-II underestimates the effective rainfall meanwhile CN-III overestimates. Hence, for the improvement in estimating effective rainfall, a modulating curve number may be defined as a value in between CN-II and CN-III. Basin median curve numbers produces the closest result to the observed runoff and therefore it can be adopted as a representative curve number for gaged basin.

The determination of the optimum biarc curve passing through a given set of points along involute curve is studied. The method adopted is that of finding the optimum number of span and the optimum length of the span such that error between the biarc curve and involute curve minimum. Iterative method is effectively used to find the optimim number and length of the span on involute curve with reduced length of NC-code.

The first maximum point in the stability curve of liquid jet, i.e., the critical point is associated with the critical Reynolds number. This critical Reynolds number should be predicted by simple means. In this work, the critical Reynolds number in the stability curve of liquid jet are predicted using the empirical correlations and the experimental data reported in the literatures. The critical Reynolds number was found to be a function of the Ohnesorge number, nozzle lengh-to-diameter ratio, ambient Weber number and nozzle inlet type. An empirical correlation for the critical Reynolds number as a function of the Ohnesorge number and nozzle length-to-diameter ratio is newly proposed here. Although an empirical correlation proposed in this work may not be universal because of excluding the effects of ambient pressure and nozzle inlet type, it has reasonably agrees with the measured critical Reynolds number.

The techniques of GIS and remote sensing are being applied to hydrology, geomorphology and various field of studies are performed by many researcher, related those techniques. In this paper, curve number change detection is tested according to soil map and land cover in mountain area. Neural networks method is applied for land cover classification and GIS for curve number calculation. The first, sample area are selected and tested land cover classification, NN(84.1％) is superior to MLC(80.9％). So we selected NN with land cover classifier. The second, curve number from the land cover by neural network classifier(57) is compared with that(curve number) from the land cover by manual work(55). Two values are so similar. The third, curve number classified by NN in sample area was applied and tested to whole study area. As results of this study, it is shown that curve number is more exact and efficient by using NN and GIS technique than by (using) manual work.

The estimates of both runoff depth and peak runoff by the basin runoff curve numbers, which are CN-II for antecedent moisture condition- II and CN -III for antecedent moisture condition-III, obtained from hydrological soil-cover complexes of 26 watersheds are investigated by making use of the observed curve numbers, which are median curve number and optimum curve number, computed from 250 rainfall-runoff records. For gaged basins the median curve numbers are recommended for the estimation of both runoff depth and peak runoff. For ungaged basin, found is that for the estimate of runoff depth CN-II is adequate and for peak runoff CN-II is suitable. Also investigated is the variation of the runoff curves during storms. By the variable runoff curve numbers, the prediction of runoff depth and peak runoff can be improved slightly.

Seismic fragility curves present the conditional probability of damage to target structures due to external seismic load and are widely used in various ways. When constructing such a seismic fragility curve, it is essential to consider various types and numbers of ground motions. In general, the earthquake occurrence characteristics of an area where the target structure of the seismic fragility curve exists are analyzed, and based on this, appropriate ground motions are selected to derive the seismic fragility curve. If the number of selected ground motions is large, the diversity of ground motions is considered, but a large amount of computational time is required. Conversely, if the number of ground motions is too small, the diversity of ground motions cannot be considered, which may distort the seismic fragility curve. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationship between the number of ground motions considered when deriving the seismic fragility curve and the parameters of the seismic fragility curve. Using two example structures, numerical analysis was performed by selecting a random number of ground motions from a total of two hundred, and a seismic fragility curve was derived based on the results. Analysis of the relationship of the parameter of the seismic fragility curve and the number of selected ground motions was performed. As the number of ground motions considered increases, uncertainty in ground motion selection decreases, and when deriving seismic fragility curves considering the same number of ground motions, uncertainty increases relatively as the degree of freedom of the target structure increases. However, considering a relatively large number of ground motions, uncertainty appeared insignificant regardless of increased degrees of freedom. Finally, it is possible that the increase in the number of ground motions could lower the epistemic uncertainty and thus improve the reliability of the results.

Recently, as communication is evolved by leaps and bounds through wired/wireless networks, variety of services are routinely made through communication networks. Accordingly, technology that is for protecting data and personal information is required essentially, and study of security technology is actively being make progress to solve these information protection problems. In this paper, to expand selection scope of the key of elliptic curve cryptography, arithmetic items of real number based elliptic curve algorithm among various cryptographic algorithms was studied. The result of an experiment, we could know that elliptic curve cryptography using the real number can choose more various keys than existing elliptic curve cryptography using integer and implement securer cryptographic system.

In this study, the conceptual foundation and development process of the Antecedent soil Moisture Condition(AMC) in SCS runoff curve number method are reviewed. Although the runoff volume is very sensitive with AMC condition, the AMC class limits developed in SCS(1972) are used in rainfall-runoff analysis without careful consideration. Tn this study, following the SCS curve number development process, rainfall-runoff characteristics of the Jang-Pyung subbasin subject to the Pyung-Chang River basin are analyzed to evaluate the reasonability of the AMC class limits at present. The New AMC class limits are proposed by the sensitive analysis of the antecedent rainfall - curve number value. As a result, the classification value of AMC-I with II is 22mm of antecedent 5-day rainfall amount, and the classification of AMC-II with III is 117mm in growing season. When the New AMC class limits are applied to Jang-Pyung subbasin, AMC probability distribution shows that the AMC-II has increased remarkably even though the AMC-I has a little higher value. But the AMC-III has the smallest one. According to the conceptual basis of the curve number method, the AMC probability distribution, the New AMC class limits adopted, gives reasonable results.

In this paper, we study the problem to fit a piecewise-quadratic polynomial curve to points in the plane. The curve consists of quadratic polynomial segments and two points are connected by a segment. But it passes through a subset of points, and for the points not to be passed, the error between the curve and the points is estimated in $L^{\infty}$ metric. We consider two optimization problems for the above problem. One is to reduce the number of segments of the curve, given the allowed error, and the other is to reduce the error between the curve and the points, while the curve has the number of segments less than or equal to the given integer. For the number n of given points, we propose $O(n^2)$ algorithm for the former problem and $O(n^3)$ algorithm for the latter.
