In the transverse flux linear induction motor(TFLIM) with the general secondary composed of conductor and back-yoke, there exists a magnetized force into the normal direction or the air-gap direction of the thrust motion as well as the thrust force. Therefore, the various methodologies have been tried to use the normal force by the two independent control variables of the multi-phase input. But, as the force depends inevitably and strongly on the thrust force, it is essential to decouple both forces for two control index. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach capable of compensating the couple between both forces and the control index by using the DC-biased multi-phase input, and then realizing the independent control of TFLIM.

Crack-controlled blasting method which utilizes notched charge hole has been proposed in order to achieve smooth fracture plane and minimize the excavation damage zone. In this study, the blast models, which have a notched charge hole, were analyzed using dynamic fracture process analysis software to investigate the effect of the geometry of a notched charge hole and decoupling indexes of the charge hole on crack growth control in blasting. As a result, crack extension increased and damage crack decreased with the notch length. Ultimately, stress increment factors and resultant fracture patterns with different notch length and width were analyzed in order to examine the effect factors on the crack growth controlling in rock blasts using a notched charge hole.

The dielectric slab waveguide is fabricated on the slide glass or oxidized silicon wafer, by spin coating polyurethane, epoxy or photoresist, and the phenomenon of dielectric waveguiding is oboerved. Using the fact that the refractive index of K.P.R. is larger than that of polyurethane, thin film prism with two layered structure is fabricated, and the refraction of light is observed.

In this paper, a novel control strategy for PWM current source converter and inverter is proposed, applying a multivariable state feedback control. The PWM converter controls line current to be sinusoidal and make input power factor unity. In addition, the modulation index control of dc link current is carried out, which produces lower loss of switching devices. Since the voltage control of inverter output filter capacitor is performed a decoupling of the d-q current of the induction motor is well retained. With the proposed algorithm, both high dynamic responses and satisfactory static performance can obtained.

This paper presents an integrated stability analysis by the direct energy function method based on Equivalent Mechanical Model(EMM) which reflects the system behavior related to both angle and voltage stabilities. Actually, angle and voltage stability are intimately related in power system, so complete decoupling of these stability analysis is not possible in general, particularly in stressed power systems. In this paper, it is shown that a identical energy function can be used for angle and voltage stability analysis. The proposed energy function reflects the line resistances and reactive powers under the constraints of the same R/X ratio. The energy margin between UEP and SEP presents a good collapse proximity index in both types of stability analysis.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) regularly publishes various drought indices. However, most of these are meteorological drought indices that are not only difficult but often inappropriate to apply to agriculture. In this study, the meteorological drought index and the agricultural drought index were calculated for the representative points of South Korea during the same period, and the differences in geographical distribution were analyzed according to the characteristics of drought. Although the overall drought patterns estimated by multiple drought indices were similar, the differences were also confirmed due to the different simulation methods depending on the character of drought. Especially, agricultural drought index (ADI) showed higher accuracy in the agricultural sector than that of meteorological drought index (e.g., SPI, PN). In addition, the drought patterns in recent years analyzed by ADI were more severe in spring and early summer compared with normal year. In autumn and winter, drought was weaker than normal year. For the recent periods, inland areas had more droughts than coastal areas. Considering the specific drought indices for the individual sectors, it will be helpful to take measures against drought according to the individual characteristics.

Controlling the blast-induced damage zone(BDZ) in mining excavation is a significant issue for the safety of employees and the maintenance of facilities. Numerous studies have been conducted to accurately predict the BDZ in underground mining. This study employed the dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) to estimate the BDZ from a single hole blasting. The estimated BDZ were compared with the results obtained by Swedish empirical equation. The DFPA was also used to investigate the control mechanism of BDZ and fracture plane formation around perimeter holes for underground mining blasting.

The partitioning of evapotranspiration (ET) into evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) is critical in understanding the water cycle and the couplings between the cycles of energy, water, and carbon. In forests, the total ET measured above the canopy consists of T from both overstory and understory vegetation, and E from soil and the intercepted precipitation. To quantify their relative contributions, we have measured ET from the floors of deciduous and coniferous forests in Gwangneung using eddy covariance technique from 1 June 2008 to 31 May 2009. Due to smaller eddies that contribute to turbulent transfer near the ground, we performed a spectrum analysis and found that the errors associated with sensor separation were <10%. The annual sum of the understory ET was 59 mm (16% of total ET) in the deciduous forest and 43 mm (~7%) in the coniferous forest. Overall, the understory ET was not negligible except during the summer season when the plant area index was near its maximum. In both forest canopies, the decoupling factor ($\Omega$) was about ~0.15, indicating that the understory ET was controlled mainly by vapor pressure deficit and soil moisture content. The differences in the understory ET between the two forest canopies were due to different environmental conditions within the canopies, particularly the contrasting air humidity and soil water content. The non-negligible understory ET in the Gwangneung forests suggests that the dual source or multi-level models are required for the interpretation and modeling of surface exchange of mass and energy in these forests.
