The Mekong which is one of the world's most significant rivers plays an extremely important role to South East Asia. Lying across six riparian countries including China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and being a greatly biological and ecological diversity of fishes, the river supports a huge population who living along Mekong Basin River. Therefore, much attention has been focused on the giant Mekong Basin River, particularly, the soil erosion and sedimentation problems which rise critical impacts on irrigation, agriculture, navigation, fisheries and aquatic ecosystem. In fact, there have been many methods to calculate these problems; however, in the case of Mekong, the available data have significant limitations because of large area (about 795 00 km2) and a failure by management agencies to analyze and publish of developing countries in Mekong Basin River. As a result, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model in a GIS (Geographic Information System) framework was applied in this study. The USLE factors contain the rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, slope length, steepness, crop management and conservation practices which are represented by raster layers in GIS environment. In the final step, these factors were multiplied together to estimate the soil erosion rate in the study area by using spatial analyst tool in the ArcGIS 10.2 software. The spatial distribution of soil loss result will be used to support river basin management to find the subtainable management practices by showing the position and amount of soil erosion and sediment load in the dangerous areas during the selected 56- year period from 1952 to 2007.

The development of a new railway vehicle is under progress through the Next Generation High-Speed Rail Development Project in Korea. Its aim is to develope fundamental technology of the vehicle that can run over 400km/h. The new distributed traction bogie system, 'HEMU'(High-speed Electric Multiple Unit), will be used and is different from that of previously developed high speed railway vehicles. Previous vehicles adopted push-pull type system, which means one traction-car drives rest all of the vehicle. Due to the difference, investigation on dynamic behavior and its safety evaluation are necessary, as a part of verification of the design specification. In the paper, current progresses of researches are presented. And the High-Speed Railway vehicle system is evaluated for a dynamic characteristic simulation. Proper dynamic models including air-suspension system, wheel-rail, bogie and car-body is developed according to the vehicle simulation scenario. The basic platform for the development of dynamic solver is prepared using nodal, modal coordinate system and wheel-rail contact module. Operating scenario is prepared using commercial dynamic analysis program and used for development of dynamic model, which contains many parts such as carbodies, bogies and suspension systems. Furthermore, international safety standard is applied for final verification of the system. Finally, the reliability of the dynamic model will be verified with test results in the further researches. This research will propose a better solution when test results shows a problem in the parts and elements. Finally, the vehicle that has excellent performance will be developed, promoting academic achievement and technical development.

Safety is one of the factors that prevent clinical drugs from being distributed on the market. In the case of neurotoxicity, which is the main cause of safety problems caused by drug side effects, risk assessment of drugs and compounds is required in advance. Currently, experiments for testing drug safety are based on animal experimetns, which have the disadvantage of being time-consuming and expensive. Therefore in order to solve the above problem, a neurotoxic prediction model through an in silico experiment was suggested. In this study, the category of neurotoxicity was expanded using a unified medical language system and various related compound data were obtained based on an integrated database. The SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) of the obtained compounds were converted into fingerprints and it is used as input of machine learning. The model finally predicts the presence or absence of neurotoxicity. The experiment proposed in this study can reduce the time and cost required for the in vivo experiment. Furthermore, it is expected to shorten the research period for new drug development and reduce the burden of suspension of development.

다목적댐의 유입량은 댐 저수지 관리 및 운영에 있어 중요한 고려사항으로, 정확한 유입량을 사용하는 것이 필수적이다. 댐 저수지 유입량은 유역의 물수지분석, 홍수조절 의사결정 등 이·치수적 측면에서 활용도가 높으며, 특히 기후변화로 인한 홍수나 가뭄의 발생이 빈번해진 최근의 상황에서 위기경보 운영 등 재난관리 측면에서도 그 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 현재 우리나라에서는 댐 저수지 유입량 산정에 방류량과 저수지 수위를 활용한 물수지방정식에 의한 방법을 공식적으로 활용하고 있다. 그러나 물수지방정식을 이용하여 계산된 유입량은 평수기와 갈수기 오차가 크고 음의 유입량 값이 발생하는 등 지속적인 개선의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 댐 저수지 직상류부 하천의 수위 측정치로부터 수위-유량곡선을 통해 유량을 산출하고, 그 값을 활용하여 댐 방류량을 추정하는 방법이 제시되었다. 그러나 직상류부 수위 측정이 불가능한 저수지에는 활용이 어렵기 때문에 다양한 지점에 적용할 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 댐 저수지 유입량 산정방식의 한계를 보완하기 위해 수위계측이 어려운 지점에서도 유량 계산이 가능한 분포형 강우-유출모형 GRM(Grid based Rainfall-runoff model)을 연구에 활용하였다. 한강권역 내 K-water 운영 다목적댐인 소양강댐, 횡성댐, 충주댐 직상류부 유량과 분포형 강우-유출모형으로 계산된 유량을 비교하여 모의 유량자료의 활용성을 검토하였다. 다음으로 댐 유입지점-상류 관측지점 간 유량의 상관관계를 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 상류 하천에 흐르는 유량으로부터 댐 유입량을 계산할 수 있는 관계곡선식을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 댐 유입량 산정방식은 관측지점의 다양성과 결과의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 기존 방식 개선에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 분석 절차의 표준화나 결과에 대한 다양한 검증이 이루어진다면, 홍수 및 가뭄의 위기경보 발령에 대한 참고자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 전 지구적 기후변화의 발생으로 수문현상의 규모와 빈도가 예측하기 어려운 수준으로 변화되고 있다. 이에 따라 정밀한 데이터를 활용한 수공구조물 운영 및 관리의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이 중에서도 다목적댐은 이·치수 측면에서 모두 활용되기 때문에 정밀한 댐 운영을 위한 댐 유입량 자료의 수집 및 관리가 필요하지만 현실적 한계로 인해 간접적으로 측정되고 있다. 현재 국내 다목적댐 저수지의 유입량은 댐시설 유지관리 기준(MW, 1994)에서 제시한 저수지 수위 변동량과 댐 방류량의 추정치로부터 계산하는 간접측정방법을 통해 산정되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법은 태풍이나 집중호우 등 대규모 홍수 발생 시 저수지 수위의 불균일성으로 인한 오차가 나타나며, 음유입량 및 톱니바퀴 형태의 자료가 발생하는 등 정확도 측면에서 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원에서 2008년 개발한 물리적 기반의 분포형 유출해석 모형인 GRM(Grid based Rainfall-Runoff Model)을 활용하여 상류 유량관측소(옥동교 관측소, 영춘 관측소) 관측유량과 충주댐 지점 모의유량간의 경험공식을 도출하였으며, 이를 통해 상류 유량 관측소의 유량자료를 활용한 댐 유입량 직접산정이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 다중 관측소 활용 시 댐 유입량 모의 성능이 개선되는지 여부를 확인하기 위해 3가지 경우(옥동교 관측소 단일, 영춘 관측소 단일, 옥동교·영춘 관측소 다중)로 구분하고 각 공식의 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 분석 결과 상류 관측소 관측유량과 댐 본체 지점의 모의유량이 비교적 높은 상관관계(0.79~0.96)를 보였으며, 단일 관측소를 활용한 공식 대비 다중 관측소를 활용한 공식이 더 높은 결정계수를 보였다.

The design of an air seat cushion for preventing decubitus ulcer includes many design factors such as the even distribution of interface pressure, the minimization of mean and peak interface pressure values, and the reduction of interface shear force and pressure gradient. It involves the anatomic condition of plegia's buttock as well as air pressure in air cells of cushion. As a result, a suitable design of the cushion satisfying the all requirements is a difficult problem. Therefore, an appropriate and effective numerical tool to develop an air cushion orthosis is required. The purpose of the present study was to develop an air seat cushion orthosis having optimized air cells for evenly distributed interface pressure between the buttock and cushion surface. For the purpose, an advanced finite element (FE) model for the design of air cushion was developed. Since the interface pressure and shear force behavior, as well as stress analyses were primary concern, a FE air cell model was developed and verified by the experiments. Then, the interactions of two cells were checked. Also, the human part of the developed numerical model includes every material property and geometry related to buttock and femoral parts. For construction of dimension data of buttock and femoral parts, CT scans were performed. A commercial FE program was employed for the simulation representing the seating process on the orthosis. Then, sensitive analyses were performed with varying design parameters. A set of optimal design parameters was found satisfying the design criteria of the orthosis. The results were utilized to produce a prototype of the orthosis. Experimentally, the buttock interface pressure distributions from the optimized and previous ones were compared. The new seat orthosis showed a significantly improved interface pressure characteristics compared to the most popular one in the market. The new orthosis will be used for the development of the AI(artificial intelligent) controlled seat orthosis fur prevention of decubitus ulcer fur various plegic patients and the elderly.

최근 기후변화로 인해 태풍 등과 같은 집중성 강우가 많이 발생하고 있고, 강우시 유출 등으로 인한 유역내 발생하는 토양침식으로 인해 유역의 하천을 비롯하여 유출구에서의 탁수 및 유사 발생 문제는 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 심각한 환경문제로 대두되고 있다. 강우시 유역에서 발생하는 이러한 탁수문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위하여 여러 최적관리기법 (Best Management Practices, BMPs) 들이 제안되어왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 볏짚매트 사용으로 인한 토양유실 저감 실측자료를 바탕으로 볏짚매트를 다양한 경사지 밭에 적용하였을 경우 유역에서의 토양유실 저감효과를 평가하기 위한 모델링 기법을 개발하는데 있다. 볏짚 매트의 효과를 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모형으로 모의하기 위해서는 볏짚매트의 효과를 모형에서 반영할 수 있는 인자를 선택하여 최적의 인자값을 산정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유사 저감 효과 실험 결과를 VFSMOD-W 모형을 이용하여 USLE P 인자값을 도출하였으며, 경사도에 따른 USLE-P 값을 산정하여, SWAT 모형에 입력자료로 사용하였다. 분포형 모형과는 달리 준분포형 모형인 SWAT 모형은 소유역내 수문학적 반응단위별로 유출, 유사, 그리고 비점오염 발생을 평가하는데 이때 Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU)의 지형정보가 활용된다. 이 지형정보는 SWAT 유사 평가시 매우 민감한 변수중의 하나이기 때문에 유역 단위 유사 평가시 정확한 지형자료의 입력이 요구된다. 그러나 SWAT 모형은 소유역내 HRU의 경사도 및 경사장을 직접 산정하지 않고, 소유역의 평균경사도를 기준으로 하여 산정된 경사도를 소유역내 모든 HRU에 동일하게 적용하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 준분포 모형인 SWAT 모형의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 SWAT Spatially Distributed (SD)-HRU를 적용하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 경사지 밭에서의 볏짚매트의 효과를 분석할 수 있게 되었다. 볏짚매트 미적용시 모의 기간내 유사량 총합은 74,954.42 ton 이고, 월평균 유사량은 814.72 ton 으로 산정되었고, 볏짚매트를 적용하였을 경우 모의 기간내 (2000년 1월 - 2007년 8월) 유사량 총합은 48,460.55 ton 이고, 월평균 유사량은 526.75 ton 으로 볏짚매트를 적용하지 않았을 때보다 약 35.35 % 저감된 값을 보였다. SD-HRU를 적용하고 각 농경지의 경사도에 따라 USLE P 값을 수정하여 볏짚매트에 의한 효과를 분석하였을 때, 볏짚매트를 적용하지 않았을 때 보다 볏짚매트를 적용하였을 때 모의 기간내 약 35% 정도의 유사량이 감소된 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과에서 보여주는 바와 같이 고랭지 지역에서의 영농활동 시 볏짚매트를 설치한다면 강우시 발생하는 토양유실을 효과적으로 저감시킬 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

This paper proposes a conceptual taxonomy of architectures far workflow management systems. The systematic classification work is based on a framework for workflow architectures. The framework, consisting of generic-level, conceptual-level and implementation-level architectures, provides common architectural principles for designing a workflow management system. We define the taxonomy by considering the possibilities for centralization or distribution of data, control, and execution. That is, we take into account three criteria. How are the major components of a workflow model and system, like activities, roles, actors, and workcases, concretized in workflow architecture？ Which of the components is represented as software modules of the workflow architecture？ And how are they configured and operating in the architecture？ The workflow components might be embodied, as active (processes or threads) modules or as passive (data) modules, in the software architecture of a workflow management system. One or combinations of the components might become software modules in the software architecture. Finally, they might be centralized or distributed. The distribution of the components should be broken into three: Vertically, Horizontally and Fully distributed. Through the combination of these aspects, we can conceptually generate about 64 software Architectures for a workflow management system. That is, it should be possible to comprehend and characterize all kinds of software architectures for workflow management systems including the current existing systems as well as future systems. We believe that this taxonomy is a significant contribution because it adds clarity, completeness, and "global perspective" to workflow architectural discussions. The vocabulary suggested here includes workflow levels and aspects, allowing very different architectures to be discussed, compared, and contrasted. Added clarity is obtained because similar architectures from different vendors that used different terminology and techniques can now be seen to be identical at the higher level. Much of the complexity can be removed by thinking of workflow systems. Therefore, it is used to categorize existing workflow architectures and suggest a plethora of new workflow architectures. Finally, the taxonomy can be used for sorting out gems and stones amongst the architectures possibly generated. Thus, it might be a guideline not only for characterizing the existing workflow management systems, but also for solving the long-term and short-term architectural research issues, such as dynamic changes in workflow, transactional workflow, dynamically evolving workflow, large-scale workflow, etc., that have been proposed in the literature.

Analyses of the viscous and end effects on electromagnetic (EM) pumps of annular linear induction type for the sodium coolant circulation in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors have been carried out based on the MHD laminar flow analysis and the electromagnetic field theory. A one-dimensional MHD analysis for the liquid metal flowing through an annular channel has been performed on the basis of a simplified model of equivalent current sheets instead of three-phase currents in the discrete primary windings. The calculations show that the developed pressure difference resulted from electromagnetic and viscous forces in the liquid metal is expressed in terms of the slip, and that the viscous loss effects are negligible compared with electromagnetic driving forces except in the low-slip region where the pumps operate with very high flow velocities comparable with the synchronous velocity of the electromagnetic fields, which is not applicable to the practical EM pumps. A two-dimensional electromagnetic field analysis based on an equivalent current sheet model has found the vector potentials in closed form by means of the Fourier transform method. The resultant magnetic fields and driving forces exerted on the liquid metal reveal that the end effects due to finiteness of the pump length are formidable. In addition, a two-dimensional numerical analysis for vector potentials has been performed by the SOR iterative method on a realistic EM pump model with discretely-distributed currents in the primary windings. The numerical computations for the distributions of magnetic fields and developed pressure differences along the pump axial length also show considerable end effects at both inlet and outlet ends, especially at high flow velocities. Calculations of each magnetic force contribution indicate that the end effects are originated from the magnetic force caused by the induced current ( u x B ) generated by the liquid metal movement across the magnetic field rather than the one (E) produced by externally applied magnetic fields by three-phase winding currents. It is concluded that since the influences of the end effects in addition to viscous losses are extensive particularly in high-velocity operations of the EM pumps, it is necessary to find ways to suppress them, such as proper selection of the pump parameters and compensation of the end effects.

A new cavitating model by using bubble size distribution based on bubbles-mass has been proposed. Both liquid and vapor phases are treated with Eulerian framework as a mixture containing minute cavitating bubbles. In addition vapor phase consists of various sizes of vapor bubbles, which are distributed to classes based on their mass. The bubble number-density for each class was solved by considering the change of the bubble-mass due to phase change as well as generation of new bubbles due to heterogeneous nucleation. In this method, the bubble-mass is treated as an independent variable, and the other dependent variables are solved in spatial coordinates and bubble-mass coordinate. Firstly, we employed this method to calculate bubble nucleation and growth in stationary super-heated liquid nitrogen, and bubble collapse in stationary sub-cooled one. In the case of bubble growth in super-heated liquid, bubble number-density of the smallest class based on its mass is increased due to the nucleation. These new bubbles grow with time, and the bubbles shift to larger class. Therefore void fraction of each class is increased due to the growth in the whole class. On the other hand, in the case of bubble collapse in sub-cooled liquid, the existing bubbles are contracted, and then they shift to smaller class. It finally becomes extinct at the smallest one. Secondly, the present method is applied to a cavitating flow around NACA00l5 foil. Liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen are employed as working fluids. Cavitation number, $\sigma$, is fixed at 0.15, inlet velocities are changed at 5, 10, 20 and 50m/s. Inlet temperatures are 90K in case of liquid nitrogen, and 90K and 1l0K in case of liquid oxygen. 110K of oxygen is corresponding to the 90K of nitrogen because of the same relative temperature to the critical one, $T_{r}$=$T/T_c^{+}$. Cavitating flow around the NACA0015 foils was properly analyzed by using bubble size distribution. Finally, the method is applied to a cavitating flow in an inducer of the LE-7A hydrogen turbo-pump. This inducer has 3 spiral foils. However, for simplicity, 2D calculation was carried out in an unrolled channel at 0.9R cross-section. The channel moves against the fluid at a peripheral velocity corresponding to the inducer revolutions. Total inlet pressure, $Pt_{in}$, is set at l00KPa, because cavitation is not generated at a design point, $Pt_{in}$=260KPa. The bubbles occur upstream of the foils and collapse between them. Cavitating flow in the inducer was successfully predicted by using the bubble size distribution.
