In this study, fuel qualities including kinematic viscosity and pour point in the various temperature, calorific value and combustion characteristics of two biodiesels based on the soybean and waste oil blended with light oil were investigated and discussed in order to figure out to confirm fuel compatibility taking the place of light oil in the hot air heater or boiler. As biodiesel content ratio increased calorific value of biodiesel decreased, and the difference was 13% between 100%-biodiesel and light oil. In general, pour points of the biodiesels were higher than light oil, and as biodiesel content ratio increased pour point increased. About 15 cSt was the pour point of biodiesels and light oil, which occurred at 3 to $4^{\circ}C$ in the biodiesels and $-25^{\circ}C$ in the light oil. Flame dimensions of biodiesels and light oil were almost same at the same combustion condition in the burner of the hot air heater. CO concentrations in the exhaustion gas were far lower than those of the light oil. Though pour point of biodiesel is a little inferior to light oil, still biodiesel can be an alternative fuel substituting for light oil in combustion system without much modifying the current oil combustion mechanism.

The effects of water-saving irrigation on the emissions of greenhouse gases and the prokaryotic communities in rice paddy soils were investigated through a field experiment. In the Water-Saving (WS) irrigation, the water layer was kept at 2~3 cm while it was kept at 6 cm in the Continuousiy Flooding (CF) irrigation. A plot was treated with Intermittently Drainage (ID) that is drained as fine cracks on the floor were seen after transplanting. GHGs emission amounts from WS plots were reduced by 78.1% compared to that from CF plot and by 70.7% compared to that from ID plot, meaning that WS could help contribute to mitigation of the greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere.

Pulse TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding processes commonly used in industry. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and skill are required to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece. Pulse TIG welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel, non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys. It is significantly slower than most other welding techniques and comparatively more complex and difficult to master as it requires greater welder dexterity than MIG or stick welding. The problems associated with manual TIG welding includes undercutting, tungsten inclusions, porosity, Heat affected zone cracks and also the adverse effect on health of welding gun operator due to amount of tungsten fumes produced during the welding process. This brings the necessity of automation. Hence, In this paper an attempt has been made to build a customerized setup of Pulse TIG welding based on through review of Pulse TIG welding parameters. The cost associated for making automated TIG is found to be low as compared to SPM (Special Purpose machines) available in the market.

Impact tests on high-strength membrane materials under biaxial loads were experimentally conducted in order to evaluate influence of biaxial loads on impact fracture of the membrane materials for the inflated applications. Cruciform specimens of the membrane materials were fabricated for applying biaxial loadings during the impact test. A steel ball was shot using a compressed nitrogen gas gun, and struck the membrane specimen. Impact tests on uniaxial strip specimens were also conducted to obtain the effect of specimen configuration and boundary condition on the impact fracture. The results of the measured crack length and the ultra-high speed photographs indicate the impact fracture properties of the membrane fabrics under biaxial loadings. Crack length due to the impact increased with applied tensile load, and the impact damages of the cruciform membrane materials under biaxial loadings were smaller than those of under uniaxial loadings. Impact fracture of the strip specimen was more severe than that of the cruciform specimen due to the difference of boundary conditions.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by ion-assisted electron-beam evaporation with 200nm thickness and subsequently crystallized by rapid thermal annealing at the rage of $200{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ in flowing $N_2$ gas. The crystal structure of the films were examined by X-ray diffractometer. As-deposited $TiO_2$ films were amorphous. After annealing, anatase and rutile phase of $TiO_2$ films were observed together.

Tin oxide$(SnO_2)$ thin films were prepared on glass substrate by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method. $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared using gas mixture of dibutyltin diacetate as a precursor and oxygen as an oxidant at 275, 325, 375, $425^{\circ}C$, respectively as a function of deposition temperature. The XRD peaks corresponded to those of polycrystalline $SnO_2$, which is in the tetragonal system with a rutil-type structure. As the deposition temperature increased, the texture plane of $SnO_2$ changed from (200) plane to denser (211) and (110) planes. Lower deposition temperature and shorter deposition time led to decreasing surface roughness and electrical resistivity of the formed thin films at $325\sim425^{\circ}C$. The properties of $SnO_2$ films were critically affected by deposition temperature and time.

Bismuth thin films were prepared on glass substrate with RF magnetron sputtering and effects of substrate temperature on surface morphology and their electrical transport properties were investigated. Grain growth of bismuth after nucleation and the onset of coalescense of grains at 393 K were observed with field emission secondary electron microscopy. Continuous thin films could not be obtained above 473 K because of grain segregation and island formation. Hall effect measurements showed that substrate heating yields the decrease of carrier density and the increase of mobility. Resistivity of bismuth film has its minimum (about 0.7 x 10/sup -3/ Ωcm) in range of 403～433 K. Annealing of bismuth films deposited at room temperature was carried out in a radiation furnace with flowing hydrogen gas. The change of resistivity was not significant due to cancellation of the decrease of carrier density and the increase of mobility. The abrupt change of electrical properties of film annealed above 523 K was found to be caused by partial oxidation of bismuth layer in x-ray diffraction analysis.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to develop a rapid and nondestructive method for the determination of fatty acid composition in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed oil. A total of ninety-three samples of intact seeds were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator, and reference values for fatty acid composition were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Calibration equations were developed using modified partial least square regression with internal cross validation (n=63). The equations obtained had low standard errors of cross-validation and moderate $R^2$ (coefficient of determination in calibration). Prediction of an external validation set (n=30) showed significant correlation between reference values and NIRS estimated values based on the SEP (standard error of prediction), $r^2$ (coefficient of determination in prediction) and the ratio of standard deviation (SD) of reference data to SEP. The models developed in this study had relatively higher values (more than 2.0) of SD/SEP(C) for oleic and linoleic acid, having good correlation between reference and NIRS estimate. The results indicated that NIRS, a nondestructive screening method could be used to rapidly determine fatty acid composition in sesame seeds in the breeding programs for high quality sesame oil.

The damage of natural disasters has occurred on huge scale more frequently than before. The damage caused by the disasters are summarized and are analyzed, and are managed as a very general type of documentation, not showing the position of previous damage records and related information such as weather, facilities of CCTV, hospitals, and gas station on the maps. Therefore, it needs to provide map-based searching systems considering damaged area as well as search key-words. This paper focuses on the development of a search system based on the map to manage previous disaster records and related information each disaster using spatial databases. This system consists of three modules, which are databases to store disaster data, the SQL procedure-based search module to extract needed information from the constructed databases, and the map module to express the search results on the map. This paper will contribute to provide framework of a system development for managing the disaster information according to each year and disaster based on the maps and to be utilized as the basic framework in developing damage prediction and prevention systems for disasters in future.

디젤 자동차 배출 가스인 NOx Soot 그리고 기타 가스들은 주요한 대기 오염의 물질들이다. 그러므로 여러 많은 나라들이 이에 관련된 규제 법규를 점점 더 엄격하게 규제하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 디젤 자동차에서 발생되어지는 NOx, 매연 그리고 CO를 고주파 플라즈마와 EGR 시스템을 조합하여 그 제거 특성을 연구하였다. NOx는 부하와 전압이 증가하게 되면 NOx는 감소하고 매연의 경우에는 EGR율이 증가함으로 인해서 증가 하였다. 그러나 전압이 증가함에 따라서는 감소하였다.
