In this study, determination methods of the pressure monitoring location in water distribution system were introduced and applied to sample pipe network. The best determination method of the pressure monitoring location was suggested and applied to the real city pipe network. Three kinds of determination methods of pressure monitoring locations are categorized such as the sensitivity analysis according to changing roughness coefficient, pressure contribution analysis, and sensitivity analysis according to changing demand. Further-more, pressure contribution analysis and sensitivity analysis from the results of unsteady analysis were conducted and compared each other. From the results, the most accurate and simplest method was selected in this study. Therefore, the best method can be applied for the pressure management or leakage detection as a determination method of pressure monitoring location in water distribution system.

Cracks, which account for the largest proportion of defect lawsuits in apartment buildings, are not clear on the criteria for defect determination, so judgments about defects are mixed. Interlayer cracks, which account for most of the crack defect judgment amount, tend to be judged as defects regardless of the crack width or condition, and repair methods are mostly set uniformly. This starts from the problem that the standards of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Construction Appraisal Practice, which the courts use as standards, do not match. It is necessary to establish a defect determination standard that can be applied to all stakeholders through the amendment of laws and the revision of the Court Appraisal Practice. In addition, it is necessary to apply the crack repair method according to the width and condition of the interlayer crack. If the defect determination and the application of the repair method for cracks are rationalized, it could serve as an opportunity to change the current trend of defect disputes that rely only on litigation.

Gauss method for the initial orbit determination was tested using angle-only data obtained by orbit propagation using TLB and SGP4/SDP4 orbit propagation model.. As the analysis of this simulation, a feasible time span between observation time of satellite resulting the minimum error to the true orbit was found. Initial orbit determination is performed using observational data of GPS 26 and Koreasat 2 from 0.6m telescope of KAO(Korea Astronomy Observatory) and precise orbit determination is also performed using simulated data. The result of precise orbit determination shows that the accuracy of resulting orbit is related to the accuracy of the observations and the number of data.

The static and fatigue tests have been carried out to verify the validity of a generalized residual strength degradation model. And a new method of parameter determination in the model is verified experimentally to account for the effect of tension-compression fatigue loading of spheroidal graphite cast iron. It is shown that the correlation between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction on the statistical distribution of fatigue life by using the proposed method is very reasonable. Furthermore, it is found that the correlation between the theoretical prediction and the experimental results of fatigue life in case of tension-tension fatigue data in composite material appears to be reasonable. Therefore, the proposed method is more adjustable in the determination of the parameter than maximum likelihood method and minimization technique.

A conceptual study about the angle information based orbit determination technique for a geostationary satellite was performed. With an assumption that the simultaneous observing of the earth and nearby stars is possible, we confirmed that the view angles between the earth and stars can be use as inputs for orbit determination process. By the MA TLAB simulation with least square method, the convergence is confirmed. This conceptual study was performed with the COMS for instance. This technique will be able to use as a back-up of ground station's orbit determination or a part of autonomous satellite operation.

Various estimation methods based on Kalman filter have been applied to the real-time satellite orbit determination. The most popular method is the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The EKF is easy to implement and to use on orbit determination problem. However, the linearization process of the EKF can cause unstable solutions if the problem has the inaccurate reference orbit, sparse or insufficient observations. In this case, the UKF can be a good alternative because it does not contain linearization process. However, because both methods are based on Gaussian assumption, performance of estimation can become worse when the distribution of state parameters and process/measurement noise are non-Gaussian. In nonlinear/non-Gaussian problems the particle filter which is based on sequential Monte Carlo methods can guarantee more exact estimation results. This study develops and tests the particle filter for satellite orbit determination. The particle filter can be more effective methods for satellite orbit determination in nonlinear/non-Gaussian environment.

This study concerns about the orbit prediction and orbit determination of Korean future communication satellite, called 'Moogunghwa", which will be motioned in the geo-stationary orbit. Perturbation effect on the satellite orbit due to nonspherical gravitation of the earth, gravitation of the sun and moon, radiation of sun, drag of the atmosphere was investigated. Cowell's method is used for orbit prediction. Orbit determination was performed by using Extended Kalman Filter which is suitable for real-time orbit determination. The result shows that the chacteristics of the satellite orbit has east-west and south-north drift. So the periodic control time and control value in the view of the periodic of error can be provided. The orbit determination demonstrated the effectiveness since the convergence performance on the positon and velocity error, and state error standard deviation is reasonable.able.

A method of the colorimetric determination of titanium has been developed, based on the fact (IV) forms a stable blue complex with methylthymolblue(MTB) which is suitable for spectrophotometric determination of titanium in the concentration range of 0.2 to 22 $\mu$g per ml as $TiO_2$. The determination was carried out in the solution of pH range of 2.6 to 3.6, and the absorbancy of complex was at 600m$\mu$ with Coleman spectrophotometer. Titanium forms a 1:1 complex with MTB, which has a molar absorptivity, $1.1{\times}10^4$ at 600m\mu$. The effects of hydrogen ion concentration, reagent concentration, stability of complex, and hydrolysis were studied. Most of cations do not interfere seriously; however, many of anions such as oxalate, citrate, phosphate, chloride interfere in this determination.

The simultaneous determination of As(III), As(V), and DMA has been performed by ion chromatography (IC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The separation of the three arsenic species was achieved by an anionic separator column (AS 7) with an isocratic elution system. The separated species were directly detected by ICP-MS as an element-selective detection method. The IC-ICP-MS technique was applied for the determination of arsenic species in a NIST SRM 1643d water sample. An As(III) only was detected in the sample. The detection limits of As(III), As(V) and DMA were 0.31, 0.45, and 2.09 ng/mL, respectively. It was also applied for the determination of arsenic species in a human urine obtained by a volunteer, and three arsenic species were identified. The determination of total As in human urines that were obtained from 25 volunteers at the different age was also carried out by ICP-MS.
