This study was conducted to know the characteristics of agricultural non-point source pollutants runoff by rainfall events at the upper catchment of Goseong reservoir in Gonjy city, Chungnam Province. For this study, the monitoring sites of the research catchment were set nineteen during the research period (between June 2005 and October 2006). Average runoff coefficient were observed 0.51 in 2005, 0.71 in 2006, respectively. The correlation coefficient (r) between the rainfall and peak-flow was investigated 0.787. By rainfall events, the water quality of the sites were shown like this : BOD 0.555~9.60 mg/L, T-N 0.01~13.50 mg/L, T-P 0.002~2.952 mg/L, and SS N.D~820.0 mg/L. The strong rainfall intensity was the most important factor of the soil erosion. The gabs of the arithmetic mean concentrations and the flow weighted mean concentrations were observed as the followings : BOD 0.0~29.2%, T-N 0.1~11.4%, T-P 0.4~95.2%, and SS 1.7~57.0% in 2005, and BOD 1.0~11.9%, T-N 0.7~7.3%, T-P 9.9~36.5%, and SS 6.6~36.5% in 2006, respectively. The BOD pollution load was 2,117 kg (36% of the total BOD loading of survey periods) while, T-N was 3,209.0 kg (27.9% of the total T-N loading of survey periods), T-P was 136.4 kg (37.4% of the total T-P loading of survey periods) and SS was 72,733.8 kg (51.8% of the total SS loading of survey periods) in the year 2005. In case of 2006, BOD load was 1,321.7, T-N was 2,845.8, T-P was 42.9, and SS was 16,275.8 kg, respectively.

In seismic design of a pylon supporting transmission lines in an overhead electricity transmission system, an estimation of the fundamental periods of the pylon in two orthogonal vertical planes is necessary to compute the seismic forces required for sizing pylon members and checking pylon deflections. In current practice, the fundamental periods of a pylon in two orthogonal vertical planes are typically obtained from eigenvalue analyses of a model consisting of the pylon of interest as well as some adjacent pylons and the transmission lines supported by these pylons. Such an approach is onerous and numerically inconvenient. This research focused on development of a simplified method to determine the fundamental periods of pylons. The simplified method is rooted in Rayleigh's quotient and is based on a single-pylon model. The force vectors that can be used to generate the shape vectors required in Rayleigh's quotient are presented in detail. Taking three pylons selected from representative overhead electricity transmission systems having different design parameters as examples, the fundamental periods of the chosen pylons predicted from the simplified method were compared with those from the rigorous eigenvalue analyses. Result comparisons show that the simplified method provides reasonable predictions and it can be used as a convenient surrogate for the tedious approach currently adopted.

Let E be a set of n quantitative observations under the time control. The interval of time is to be split into several subintervals such that the observations in each subinterval are almost similar, whereas the observations between the subintervals are very dissimilar. The corresponding time-subintervals become periods or phases of the development that exist in the underlying phenomenon. Aboukalam(2005) proposes a robust solution based on some initial subintervals and a technique for combining any two successive groups in that starter using a t-test under a fixed significant level ($\alpha$). The inconvenience is that; the technique reliability is not released from the level $\alpha$ which must not be defined apart from the number of the periods that is, in its turn, unknown. To avoid this, we propose what so called; most significant periods solution. The new technique constructs its own initial subintervals and uses another way for combining the groups. However, the way of determining and treating outliers has not changed. This paper conducts many empirical simulations using different possible time dominated data in order to illustrate the reliability of the proposed technique. Finally, we apply both techniques on some real time dominated data to explain the advantage of the proposal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of new hollow reinforced concrete (RC) bridge pier sections with triangular reinforcement details. The proposed triangular reinforcement details are economically feasible and rational and facilitate shorter construction periods. A model of pier sections with triangular reinforcement details was tested under quasi-static monotonic loading. As a result, proposed triangular reinforcement details was equal to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance. In the companion paper, the parametric study for the performance assessment of new hollow RC bridge pier sections with triangular reinforcement details is performed.

Numerical model simulations are conducted for the evaluation of the water level variation in and out of the harbor due to the development and improvement of a harbor. The method used for the numerical analysis is the hybrid element method which includes energy dissipation due to imperfect reflection at the shore boundary and friction at the bottom. The model also includes the radiation condition on the open boundary by the analytic formulation and is applied to a real harbor, Guryongpo Harbor at the east coast of Korea. The result of experiment within the selected wave frequency band shows that the amplification factor out of the harbor is more than 2.0 at 32 sec period and strong responses near 20 sec, 25 sec, 54 sec periods in the harbor. Moreover, simulation results indicate that other longer wave periods affect to the variation of water level and horizontal water particle velocity exist. Thus, it seems to be necessary to modify the planform and the design of the harbor structures for the coming development.

Air Rights techniques, including floor-area ratio (FAR) transfers, FAR bonuses, and FAR storage, have been widely applied among skyscraper constructions in New York City for profit maximization goals. Since 1916, air rights regulations in New York zoning system have been revised and improved over the years to cater the urban development needs of different periods, and they also result in typical skyscraper block typologies. This research firstly performed spatial overlay analysis to reveal the spatial correlation between skyscraper blocks and air rights application blocks; secondly, Spacematrix parameters and cluster analysis are applied to divide the skyscraper urban block of New York City into four categories. Compared with air rights application data, the research attempts to illustrate how various air rights techniques have acted on the formation and evolution of skyscraper block typologies in the pre-1916, 1916-1961, 1961-2010, and 2010-present periods respectively, in order to reveal the relationship between public policies and urban morphology in a broader sense and also provide references for policy making in future.

An artificial diet containing wheat germ, soybean, corn, yeast, sucrose, casein, cholesterol, 𝛽-sitosterol, and dry Miscanthus sacchariflorus stem powder was developed for rearing Chilo suppressalis (Crambidae) larvae. Neonate larvae were individually raised on the diet till adult emergence at 25℃ and 15:9 h light:dark photoperiod. In the results, the pupation and the emergence rates were 82.2% and 98.6%, respectively. The mean developmental periods of female and male larvae were 34.6 days and 31.0 days, respectively, whereas the pupal periods of female and male were 8.9 days and 9.7 days, respectively. Those periods were significantly different between genders. The mean pupal weights of female and male were 75.0 mg and 57.0 mg, respectively, with significant difference.

To begin with, this study identified and reviewed the proximate compositions, quality and physicochemical characteristics of three Korean cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) cultivars grown in two different seedling periods. The proximate compositions of the cowpea showed significant differences according to three cultivars (Seowon, Yeonboon and Okdang) and two different seeding periods (5 June and 5 July). Through this lens, the lightness, redness and yellowness of the cowpea cultivars increased slightly during the 5 July cultivation compared to the 5 June cultivation. This brings us to understand that the water binding capacity, water solubility index, and swelling power were significantly different among the cultivars. In this case, the water binding capacity of the cowpea was 108.87~143.19%, and decreased during the 5 July cultivation compared to the 5 June cultivation. As shown, the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of cowpea showed significant difference according to cultivars. In this case, the total polyphenol content of 5 June and 5 July cultivation on the Seowon 4.17 and 4.12 mg GAE/g, respectively. In these terms, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of cowpea showed a significant difference according to the cultivars, and the Yeonboon and Okdang increased slightly during 5 July cultivation. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the cowpea showed significant difference according to the cultivars, and all cultivars decreased slightly during the 5 July cultivation. In other words, the phenol contents and radical scavenging activity differ measurable depending on the cultivars and seeding periods. Therefore, it is necessary to study the proper cultivar and seeding time considering the environment of the applicable cultivation area.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of postharvest ripening periods and packaging methods on maintaining the quality of fresh-cut winter squash. Winter squash (var. Bouchang) was ripened at $22^{\circ}C$ for 1 or 2 weeks after harvest. The samples were washed in tap water, sanitized in $100{\mu}L/L$ chlorine water, peeled, and cut into 16 parts. Samples were then vacuum packaged or non-vacuum packaged in $80{\mu}m$ nylon/polyethylene (Ny/PE) films and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 21 days. Results indicated that different postharvest ripening periods affected gas concentration, firmness, off-odor development, color, and overall quality of fresh-cut winter squash. Samples treated with 2-week ripening periods maintained quality with higher redness value and soluble solid content (SSC) and lower $CO_2$ concentration and off-odor development compared to samples treated with a 1-week ripening period. Non vacuum packaging was effective in increasing visual quality and reducing off-odor development. A combination treatment of 2-week ripening periods and non-vacuum packaging maintained good quality with the lowest off-odor development and the highest visual quality scores at the end of the storage period.
