An active stimulating device (ASD) consisting of a net panel or ropes fluttering in the turbulence inside the cod end was effective in driving fish near the cod end to reduce juvenile by-catch. The fluttering characteristics of the rope and net panel were examined by video observations and analyzed for fluttering amplitude and period in a water channel and in field experiments with a bottom trawl. The amplitude ratio of the fluttering ropes or nets in the tank test increased with the fluttering index as the diameter of the twine, mesh size, flexibility, and flow velocity changed, whereas the period decreased with the above factors. In bottom trawl experiments, the range of mean depth difference in the fluttering net panel was 12-17% of the length of the fluttering net, and the period of depth difference or three-dimensional (3D) tilt was revealed, with shorter ones ranging from 2 to 6 s. The amplitude as depth difference and period from field measurements were similar to those of nets in tank experiments and also to the period of 3D flow velocity inside the cod end. These results could be used to design an ASD that could be used for to the cod end of actual towed fishing gear to reduce juvenile by-catch.

A pulsed ferrite magnetic field generator (FMFG) was designed for the use in the 1000 m long through-the-earth (TTE) communication system for mining disaster situations. To miniaturize the TTE system, a ferrite core having 10,000 of permeability was used for the FMFG. Attenuation of the magnetic field intensity from the FMFG (200-turn and 0.18 m diameter) was calculated to be 89.95 dB at 1000 m depth soil having 0.1 S/m of conductivity. This attenuation was lower than 151.13 dB attenuation of 1 kHz electromagnetic wave at the same conditions. Therefore, the magnetic-field was found to be desirable as a signal carrier source for TTE communications as compared to the electromagnetic wave. The designed FMFG generates the magnetic field intensity of $1{\times}10^{-10}$ Tesla at 1000 m depth. This magnetic field is detectable by compact magnetic sensors such as flux gate or magnetic tunneling junction sensor. Therefore, the miniature FMFG TTE communication system can replace the conventional electromagnetic wave carrier type TTE system and allow reliable signal transmission between rescuer and trapped miners.

In this study was conducted numerical analysis to evaluate the stability of BTR(Built-in Timber Roof Tunneling Method), which is one of construction methods of underground structures in the non-opening state. The discretion method was applied to individually model reinforcing members of BTR, and the homogeneity analysis technic by area ratio was used to verify the feasibility comparing this result with that from conventional analysis method. The parameter study was performed to evaluate the effect varying ground depth, distance length of reinforcing supports and to verify the field applicability of new analysis method. The results showed the very precise value with allowable error, so this method can be applied in the field, The more length of supporting members caused the more vertical displacement and the top displacement increment of support members is larger than that of ground surace. The effect of ground depth was more impressive than that of distance length of reinforcing supports.

This Paper considers the heading and depth control problem for an underactuated AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) HW200. The HW200 is a torpedo-type AUV that is developed from Hanwha corporation R&D Center for military operation such as MCM (Mine Counter Measures). The HW200 controls horizontal and vertical motion with two stern plane and two rudder plane. It is well known that fine control of an AUV motion is not easy because of model uncertainties, highly nonlinear and coupled motions. To overcome those kind of uncertainties, a number of control methods have been presented. In this paper, the motion controllers of the HW200 are designed using PD controller design method based on the linear and perturbed model of the typical 6-DOF equations of an AUV, and confirmed the effectiveness of the controller through simulations and field test.

More underground structures are increasingly being constructed such as box culverts for electric power transmission, and the life extension of these structures is very important. It is well known that the steel embedded in concrete is usually invulnerable to corrosion because the high alkalinity of the pore solution in concrete generates a thin protective oxide layer on the surface of the steel. Recent observations in the field and experimental evidence have shown that even steel in concrete can be corroded through the carbonation reaction of cover concrete. Carbonation-induced corrosion in concrete may often occur in a high carbon dioxide environment. In this study, the risk of carbonation of underground box culverts in Korea was evaluated by measuring the car¬bonation rate and concrete cover depth in the field. Then, the carbonation-free service life for the cover depth of the steel was calcu¬lated with in situ information and Monte Carlo simulation. Additionally, an accelerated carbonation test for a cracked beam specimen was performed, and the effect of a crack on the service life of a box culvert was numerically investigated with Monte Carlo simulation based on experimental results.

This paper presents an experimental technique to accurately separate a permanent magnetic field and an induced one from the total magnetic fields generated by a steel ship, through compensating for the Earth's magnetic field. To achieve this, an Earth's magnetic field simulator was constructed at a non-magnetic laboratory, and the field separation technique was developed, which consisted of five stages. The proposed method was tested with a scaled model ship, and its permanent and induced magnetic fields were successfully extracted from the magnetic field created by the ship. Finally, based on the separated permanent magnetic field data, the permanent magnetization distribution on the hull was predicted by solving an inverse problem. Accordingly, the permanent magnetic fields generated by the ship can easily be calculated at any depth of water.

Microgratings whose diffracted field at a fixed angle generate IR spectra of $SF_6$ or $NH_3$ were fabricated by MEMS techniques for the purpose of IR correlation spectroscopy. Each micrograting was composed of 1441 reflecting lines in the area of $19.2{\times}19.2mm^2$. The depth profile of the line elements was determined with a gradient searching method that was described in our previous publication (J. Mod. Opt. 2013, 60, 324-330), and was discretized into 16 levels between 0 and $6.90{\mu}m$. The diffraction field from a given depth profile was calculated with Fraunhofer equation. The fabricated microgratings showed errors in the depth and the width within acceptable ranges. As the result, the diffracted IR spectrum of each micrograting matched well with its target reference spectrum within spectral resolution of our optical setup.

The main cause factor for effective the output, especially in small & irregular shaped field of electron beam therapy, are collimation system, insert block diameter and energy. In the absorption deose of treatment fields, we should consider the lateral build-up ratio (LBR), which the ratio of dose at a point at depth for a given circular field to the dose at the same point for a 'broad-field', for the same incident fluence and profile. The LBR data for a small circular field are used to extract radial spread of the pencil beam, ${\sigma}$, as a function of depth and energy. It's based on elementary pencil beam. We consider availability of the factor, ${\sigma}$, in the small & irregular fields electron beam treatment.

Recently, electrical resistivity surveys have been used to obtain information related to underground structures including burial structure type and depth. However, various field conditions hinder understanding measured electrical resistance, and thus there is a need to understand how various geometries affect electrical resistance. This study explores the effect of geometric parameters of a structure and electrodes on electrical resistance in the framework of the finite element method. First, an electrical resistance module is developed using the generalized mesh modeling technique, and the accuracy of the module is verified by comparing the results with the analytical solution for a cylindrical electrode with conical tip. Then, 387 cases of numerical analysis including geometric parameters of a buried structure and electrodes are conducted to quantitatively estimate the detection depth under a steady-state current condition. The results show that electrical resistance is increased as (1) shallower burial depth of structure, (2) closer distance between ground electrode and structure, (3) longer horizontal electrode distance. In addition, the maximum detection depth corresponding to converged electrical resistance is deeper as (4) closer distance between ground electrode and structure, (5) shorter horizontal electrode distance. The distribution of the electric potential around the electrodes and underground structure is analyzed to provide a better understanding of the measured electrical resistance. As engineering purpose, the empirical equation is proposed to calculate maximum detection depth as first approximation.

A numerical simulation program based on the finite elerrent method is developed for calculating electromagnetic field of the cylindrical electromagnetic pump. The calculated results by the developed program show that Lorentz forces show maximum peak at an optimum length ($L_c$) of the induction coil. The value of $L_c$ depends on the radius of the molten metal when the skin depth is large. On the other hand, the value of $L_c$ depends on the skin depth when it is small.
