본 논문에서는 ROM의 크기를 줄여 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있는 DDFS를 제안하였다. 새롭게 제안된 병렬 ROM 방식은 두 개의 ROM을 사용하여 원하는 주파수를 합성함으로써 전체적인 ROM들의 크기를 줄여준다. 표본화된 사인파의 양자화 값은 양자화 ROM과 차동 ROM에 저장된다. ROM 크기를 줄이기 위해 사인파를 양자화 할 때 일련의 차동 양자화 기술을 응용, 변형하여 두 개의 병렬 ROM을 사용한 압축방식을 제안한다. 이를 사용함으로써 최대 67.5%의 ROM 크기를 감소시켜 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다.

In a direct methanol fuel cell system (DMFC), one of the drawbacks is methanol crossover. Methanol from the anode passes through the membrane and enters the cathode, causing mixed potential in the cell. Only Pt-based catalysts are capable of operating as cathode for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in a harsh acidic condition of DMFC. However, it causes mixed potential due to high activity toward methanol oxidation reaction of Pt. To overcome this situation, developing Pt-based catalyst that has methanol tolerance is significant, by controlling reactant adsorption or reaction kinetics. Pt/C decorated with phosphate ion was prepared by modified polyol method as cathode catalyst in DMFC. Phosphate ions, bonded to the carbon of Pt/C, surround free Pt surface and block only methanol adsorption on Pt, not oxygen. It leads to the suppression of methanol oxidation in an oxygen atmosphere, resulting in high DMFC performance compared to pristine Pt/C.

A field case study was performed to investigate the effect of shallow ponding in paddy field on irrigation water requirement of direct seeded rice. In addition, an economic analysis was made to see the effect of no-till direct seeded rice on cost reduction. A field study was performed at a 2.1ha paddy field in Kimjae city, Chonbuk province from 1991 to 1999. Various direct seeding methods such as dryland seeding, wetland seeding, and no-till wetland seeding were introduced. Then, cost reductions due to the direct seeding and no-till were calculated. In addition, to investigate the effect of shallow ponding on irrigation water requirement, field measurements such as irrigation water volume, drainage water volume, rainfall depth, and ponding depth, were made at a 40a plot within the same area in 1988 and 1990. The results of the shallow ponding study showed that the irrigation water depth, rainfall, and the drainage depth were 379mm, 458mm, and 448mm in 1988 growing season, and 274mm, 819mm, and 736mm in 1990, respectively. The shallow ponding irrigation method saved irrigation water by about 20% with higher yield compared with the traditional method. The economic analysis showed that won \640,000 per ha can be saved by direct seeding due to no nursery cost, and \1,220,000 per ha due to no-till and no nursery cost. The yields ranged 540 to 640 kg per 10a during the study period with an average of 590kg per 10a. If these cropping techniques with no-till direct seeding and shallow ponding depth for rice cropping prove to be advantageous with further study, they can be adopted for the most of the paddy fields in Korea.

Various surgical approaches in the mandibular condyle fracture have been reported and many advantages of intraoral reduction were also introduced. But there are still controversies about surgical method of condylar fractures up to date. To establish the surgical approach protocol of condylar fracture, from May 2001 to December 2004, total 65 patients with 74 fractures of the mandibular condyle were reviewed during 2 years, retrospectively. All cases were classified according to the treatment considering factors, such as the level of fracture, degree and direction of displacement of fractured segment, patient’s age and gender, surgical approach methods, and their complications. Especially, advantages and surgical limitations of extraoral surgical approach, such as direct reduction and fixation via submandibular approach, Nam’s method, and endaural approach, were compared with those of intraoral surgical approach, such as direct intraoral reduction with transbuccal fixation or right angle driver system, and intraoral reinsertional approach after extraoral fixation of fractured fragment. The guidelines of surgical approach of condylar fracture based on our clilnical retrospective experiences and literature reviews can be suggested.

Pollutant in watersheds comes from two major sources which are NPS (nonpoint source pollution) and PS (point source pollution). Most of the pollutant can be treated by wastewater treatment plants. However, wastewater treatment plants may not be an appropriate practice to improve water quality for the watersheds with large portion of NPS pollutant and NPS pollution from direct runoff and baseflow has different characteristics. Therefore the practices to improve water quality need to be comprehensive for pollutants by both direct runoff and baseflow. Riparian buffer, one of practices to manage pollutant in watershed, has been applied to reduce pollutant not only from direct runoff but also baseflow. In this study, the scenarios for pollutant reduction by wastewater treat plants and the nitrogen reduction by riparian buffer were simulated using SWAT-REMM to suggest an effective plan for pollutant reduction from baseflow. Riparian buffer provided nitrogen reduction of 0.2~75.0% in YbB watershed and 38.0~47.0% in GbA watershed. The result indicates that riparian buffer is effective to reduce the pollutant especially from baseflow, and it suggested as suitable for the a watershed which WWTP discharge is not capable to reduce enough pollutant.

Direct reduction of $Ta_2O_5$ using liquid calcium was investigated. The experiment was conducted in a closed stainless steel chamber in an Ar atmosphere for 5-120 minutes. Most of $Ta_2O_5$ was reduced to ${\alpha}-Ta$ in 30 minutes above 1173 K and at a molar ratio of Ca and $Ta_2O_5$ above 10. The particles size increased with the reaction temperature, but it did not change much above 1223 K. The oxygen content of metal Ta was about 1 wt%.

A low-recoil direct gun is useful in reducing the fire impulse generated by using a traditional shell. To apply a control equation to an AMESim Model, we have formulated a control equation for a recoil mechanism from the free object diagram. By modeling this equation, we have been able to compare the recoil distance and recoil force of a low-recoil direct gun. Here, we can analyze the recoil characteristics between traditional direct guns and low-recoil direct guns with perforated muzzle brakes. It is possible to mount a low-recoil direct gun with a perforated muzzle brake on a lightweight tracked vehicle by reducing its fire impulse.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the socioeconomic costs resulting from alcohol drinking among adolescents as of 2006 from a societal perspective. Methods: The costs were classified into direct costs, indirect costs, and other costs. The direct costs consisted of direct medical costs and direct non-medical costs. The indirect costs were computed by future income losses from premature death, productivity losses from using medical services and reduction of productivity from drinking and hangover. The other costs consisted of property damage, public administrative expenses, and traffic accident compensation. Results: The socioeconomic costs of alcohol drinking among adolescents as of 2006 were estimated to be 387.5 billion won (0.05% of GDP). In the case of the former, the amount included 48.25% for reduction of productivity from drinking and hangover, 39.38% for future income losses from premature death, and 6.71% for hangover costs. Conclusions: The results showed that the socioeconomic costs of alcohol drinking among adolescents in Korea were a serious as compared with that of the United States. Therefore, the active interventions such as a surveillance system and a prevention program to control adolescents drinking by government and preventive medicine specialist are needed.

Ion-exchange technology is one of the best for removing nitrate from drinking water. However, problems related to the disposal of spent brine from regeneration of exhausted resins must be overcome so that ion exchange can be applied more widely and economically, especially in small communities. In this background, a combined bio-regeneration and ion-exchange system was operated in order to prove that nitrate-laden resins could be bio-regenerated through direct contact with denitrifying bacteria. A nitrate-selective A520E resin was successfully regenerated by denitrifying bacteria. The bio-regeneration efficiency of nitrate-laden resins increased with the amount of flow passed through the ion-exchange column. When the fully exhausted resin was bio-regenerated for 5 days at the flowrate of 30 BV/hr and MLSS concentration of $125{\pm}25mg/L$, 97.5% of ion-exchange capacity was recovered. Measurement of nitrate concentrations in the column effluents also revealed that less than 5% of nitrate was eluted from the resin during 5 days of bio-regeneration. This result indicates that the main mechanism of bio-regeneration is the direct reduction of nitrate by denitrifying bacteria on the resin.
