Considering the need for an infrastructure-level review, this study analyzed the impact of truck platooning on freeway traffic flow and the effect of dedicated lanes based on domestic road and traffic conditions. According to the study, the higher traffic volume and truck ratio, the higher ratio of platoons and the greater size of platoons are formed, which results in greater effect of increasing the average speed of the network. Therefore, the routes with heavy traffic and heavy cargo traffic could be positively considered for truck platooning. However, the analysis showed that the effect of increasing the average speed of the entire network is difficult to expect in the event of a queue due to entry and exit, and that the overall network's throughput could be reduced. Therefore, traffic operation strategies associated with the access road, such as securing capacity of the connection, are needed to maximize the effect of truck platooning. When it comes to the effect of dedicated lane, it could have a positive effect only if one lane was fully operated by automated trucks under the condition of 100% MPR, which allowed positive effects in all aspects, such as higher average speed, throughput, and reduced conflict rates.

The stability constants for lanthanides complexes with optically active L-proline (1 : 1) were determined in aqueous solution in the ionic medium of 0.1 M $NaClO_4$ at 25$^{\circ}C$ using a pH titration method. The results show called "gadolinium break" between lighter and heavier lanthanides. The linear relation between the stability constant (log$\beta$1) and the pKa values of ligands indicates that L-proline acts as a bidentate ligand in the complexation. The thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}H$ and ${\Delta}S$) were also determined using an enthalpy titration method at the same condition. The positive endothermic enthalpy change and positive entropy change clearly indicate that the driving force for the complexation is an entropy effect. The comparison of the thermodynamic parameters of L-proline complexes with anthranilate complexes supports the conclusion that the heterocyclic nitrogen atom and carboxylate of L-proline are involved in the chleate formation. The enthalpy values for L-proline are more positive than the ones for anthranilate complex. The difference in enthalpy change for the complex formation between L-proline complex and anthranilate complex is explained in terms of the basicity of the nitrogen donor atom in the ligand. The relatively large entropy change may be described by the extra dehydration related to the rigidity of L-proline ring.

The purposes of this research are to examine the theoretical background and industrial policy issues with regard to building a Innovation System for encouraging industrial competitiveness and fostering regional industry in Korea. Knowledge has become the driving force of economic growth and the primary source of competitiveness in the world market. So since 1990s, Innovation Systems have been put emphasis on as new industrial development strategy in a knowledge-based economy. It can be understood that Innovation System is composed of National Innovation System(NIS) and Regional Innovation System(RIS) and interrelated the concept of clusters and networks, which are contribute to industry development throughout boosting innovation. As for the Korean industrial policy, when the former centralized policy decision making process became decentralized through the implementation of local autonomy, the role of local or state government in relation to regional industrial promotion intensified. But with the impotance of for fostering strategic industry in the region. new industrial policy issues in Korea are needed as follows; $\circled1$ Building a market-oriented support system for industrial cluster through providing the resource of innovation. $\circled2$ Establishing agency for regional industrial development. $\circled3$ Making a evolutionary vision for broader region including 2 or 3 province, $\circled4$ Fostering strategic industry which is selected in term of specialization and potential of the region. The RIS model for industry development is outlined in this paper but policy initiatives for building a RIS have to be extracted from further case studies.

Both ends of welding line are often closed by wall in the welding of ship blocks. In this research, seam tracking sensing system for butt welding in the condition with wall was developed. Seam tracking sensing system measures position of carriage from wall and detects root-pass of welding line. The system consists of the laser displacement sensors and ultrasonic sensors. The laser displacement sensor reciprocal1y rotates by the motor and measures a distance from laser sensor to the welding material. The ultrasonic sensor measures a distance between welding system and walls. The distance measured by the ultrasonic sensor is used to get X(driving) position and to determine initial and end point of the weld line. Y(weaving) and Z(height) of the weld line are obtained by the distance measured by the laser displacement sensor and the orientation of the sensor. The sensing system includes the controller that is independent from the welding carriage. The seam tracking sensing system is attached to both side of welding carriage so that interference between welding torch and sensing system can be avoided during the welding. And both side sensing system minimize dead zone. Finally, developed sensing system was adhered to welding carriage and verified usefulness by experiments.

In this study using $N_2$-back flushing, which wwas not the general back-flushing method of membranes, the discharged wastewater from a paper plant was filtrated by 4 kinds of tubular carbon ceramic ultrafiltration membranes. We could in vestigate effects of $N_2$-back flushing period, transmembrane pressure (TMP)and flow rate and find optimal operating conditions. The $N_2$-back flushing time (BT) was fixed at 40 sec, filtration times (FT) were changed in 4~32 min, TNP in $1.0~3.0kg_f/cm^2$ the flow celocities in 0.53~1.09cm/s. The optimal conditions were discussed in the viewpoints of dimensionless permeate flux ($J/J_0$), toal permeate volume ($V_T$) and resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$). Optimal back-flushing period was BT/FT=0.167 (FT=8 min ), in which more $V_T$ was obtained than that in BT/FT=0.083 (FT=4 min) which was the most friquent back-flushing condition. Then rising TMP should increase the driving force, and more $V_T$ could be accumulated. And rising flow rate should decrease membrane fouling increase permeate flux, and more $V_T$could be produced. Average rejection rates of pollutants were higher than 95% for turbidity and 45~83% for $COD_{Cr}$, but rejection rates of total dissolved solid (TDS) were lower than 10%.

This paper is results of numerical study for application of sheet pile retaining wall reinforced with H-pile as sheet piles are needed in field for a cutoff wall and are limited to use because of driveability in the ground condition of having a larger strength than a weathered rock. Extensive 101 cases of numerical approach were conducted to investigate the behavior of sheet pile retaining wall reinforced with H-pile, changing installing members of two types of sheet pile and three types of H-pile, the embedded depth of sheet pile and H-pile, the horizontal space between H-piles and excavation conditions. As the results of numerical analysis, combined use of the sheet pile SP-IIIA with H-Pile H250 and the sheet pile SP-IV with H-Pile H350 among precast products was found to be efficient since two members tended to reach allowable stresses simultaneously or have similar stress concentration ratios. Increased stiffness in reinforced sheet pile showed reduction of lateral displacement of wall. Embedded depth of sheet pile did not affect stability of wall significantly so that driving the penetrable depth of sheet pile should be enough to maintain stability of wall and satisfy purposes of cutoff and stiffness increase of wall.

As road noise became an issue, low-noise pavement (LNP) has emerged. The noise difference from general asphalt pavement (GAP) is a measure to explain the noise reduction of LNP. On the other hand, even for GAP, noise varies with the performance years (PY) and pavement condition. This study evaluated the representative noise value (RNV) by the speed and PY of GAP. Sections of 49selected from the National Road Pavement Management System, and the noise was measured at speeds from 50km/h to 80km/h at every 10km/h using the Close Proximity Method (CPX). Because the noise immediately after construction differed from the other, it was treated separately, and some outliers were removed. The noise increased with increasing PY. In addition, the noise increase by speed showed a reliable trend at all noise levels. The RNV for each speed and PY was obtained through analyses of the PY and speed. The average noise difference between the initial construction and the six-year-paced pavement was approximately 6dB. When evaluating the noise reduction of LNP, it is necessary to use RNV rather than the noise of old pavement. The RNV of GAP is necessary for a relative comparison with LNP and studying the road noise characteristics for each GAP type.

Over the past several decades, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) has received particular attention as a material for developing smart window due to their electro-optical switchable properties. In this study, PDLC cells were fabricated using acrylate monomers, namely 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA) and ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate (EGPA), and the effect of the monomer composition on their electro-optical properties was investigated. The monomer mixture with a low viscosity (~10 cps) was easily filled between indium tin oxide (ITO) glasses by capillary action at room temperature. PDLC cells prepared using the mixture ratio of 1 : 9 (2-HEA : EGPA) did not show a complete opaque state at a 0 V condition but exhibited unstable electro-optical properties under an electric field. As the LC composition increased in the reaction mixture for PDLC cell preparation, the $V_{th}$ (threshold voltage) and $V_{sat}$ (saturation voltage) values as well as contrast ratio (CR) increased. $V_{th}$ and $V_{sat}$ values also increased with the cell gap thickness. PDLC cells with a $20{\mu}m$ cell gap thickness exhibited higher CR than those with 10 and $40{\mu}m$ cell gap thicknesses. Particularly, PDLC cells prepared using the mixture ratio of 7 : 3 (2-HEA : EGPA) showed excellent electro-optical properties such as a low driving voltage and high contrast ratio.

Traction performance of a tractor varies depending on soil conditions. Sinkage and slip of the driving wheel for tractor frequently occur in a reclaimed land. The objective of this study was to develop a tractor suitable for a reclaimed land. Traction performance was evaluated according to soil conditions of reclaimed land and paddy field. Field experiments were conducted at two test sites (Fields A: paddy field; and Field B: reclaimed land). The tractor load measurement system was composed of an axle rotation speed sensor, a torque meter, a six-component load cell, GPS, and a DAQ (Data Acquisition System). Soil properties including soil texture, water content, cone index, and electrical conductivity (EC) were measured. Referring to previous researches, the tractor traveling speed was set to B3 (7.05 km/h), which was frequently used in ridge plow tillage. Soil moisture contents were 33.2% and 48.6% in fields A and B, respectively. Cone index was 2.1 times higher in field A than in field B. When working in the reclaimed land, slip ratios were about 10.5% and 33.1% for fields A and B, respectively. The engine load was used almost 100% of all tractors under the two field conditions. Traction powers were 31.9 kW and 24.2 kW for fields A and B, respectively. Tractive efficiencies were 83.3% and 54.4% for fields A and B, respectively. As soil moisture increased by 16.4%, the tractive efficiency was lowered by about 28.9%. Traction performance of tractor was significantly different according to soil conditions of fields A and B. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traction performance of tractor for smooth operations in all soil conditions including a reclaimed land by reflecting data of this study.
