  • Although landslides were frequently occurred under Tripterygium regelii and Rubus sp. vegetations, the damage of landslide was not observed in sasa (Sasa borealis) stands. These phenomena may be affected by forest vegetation types. This result suggested that the landslide occurred in Jirisan (Mt.) National Park may be closely related to water retention capacity at Sasa borealis stands. This study compared and analyzed the water retention capacity of each soil horizon of sasa, larch (Larix leptolepis) and mongolian oak (Quercus mongorica) stands. Soil bulk density in A horizon was lower in sasa (0.776g/$cm^3$) than in mongolian oak (0.828g/$cm^3$) and in larch stands (1.282g/$cm^3$). Water permeability in A horizon was 0.02055cm/sec for sasa, 0.00575cm/sec for mongolian oak, and 0.0007cm/sec for larch stands, respectively. The water permeability of sasa stand was about 3.6 times and about 29 times higher than in mongolian oak and in larch stands, respectively. This result indicates that water infiltration of soil surface during a rain event is more rapid in sasa than in other two stands. Soil organic matter content in B horizon was lower in larch (0.7%) than in mongolian oak (6.5%) and in Sasa (3.3%) stands. The solid ratio in A horizon was highest in larch among three stands, but that of mongolian oak and larch stands showed a similar rate. Pore space rates was 70.7% for A horizon and 70.6% for B horizon of sasa, 68.9% for A horizon and 70.6% for B horizon of sasa, 68.9% for A horizon and 70.6% for B horizon of mongolian oak forests and 51.7% for A horizon and 49.2% for B horizon of larch forests, respectively. According to pore space rates, the water retention capacity may be poor in larch stand compared with other two stands. Soil strength in sasa and mongolian stands was over 25kgf/$cm^2$ from 40cm depth, while the strength was over 25kgf/$cm^2$ from 25cm depth in larch stand. The result indicates that tree growth and water permeability in larch stand could be limited due to high soil strength. Larch stand was poor for soil pore space development to be offered to the water retention capacity, but water retention capacity of A horizon soil in sasa stand was high than that of other two stands. Therefore, establishment of sasa stand under larch stand could help to prevent landslides.

  • The concept of feasible & invariant region plays an important role to derive closed loop stability and achie adequate performance of constrained receding horizon predictive control. In this paper, we define a complex polyhedral feasible & invariant set for all stabilizable input-constrained linear systems by using a complex transform and propose a one-norm based receding horizon control scheme using these invariant sets. In order to get a larger stabilizable set, a convex hull of invariant sets which are defined for different state feedback gains is used as a target invariant set of the constrained receding horizon control. The proposed constrained receding horizon control scheme is formulated so that it can be solved via linear programming.

  • In this paper, we derive the guaranteed bound of the horizon size for the stabilizing receding horizon control(RHC). From the convergence property of the solution to the Riccati equation, it is shown that the lower bound can be represented in terms of the parameters in the given system model, which makes an off-line calculation possible. Additionally, it is shown to be able to obtain the stabilizing RHC without respect to the final weighting matrix. The proposed guaranteed bound is obtained numerically via simulation.

  • Soil profile was well developed into four horizons, $A_1$, $A_3$, $B_2$and C at 100cm-depth in most four golf courses in Kyonggi province. Distribution of root system of Korean lawngrass was abundant in dark yellowish or yellowish brown $A_1$ horizon with low hardness(8~14mm yamanaka scale), moderately in yellowish brown $A_3$ horizon with moderate hardness(16~23mm) rarely in $B_3$horizon(15~60cm depth) and no in C horizon. Optimum soil hardness for good root growth of Korean lawngrass appeared to be less than 16mm mineral nutrient contents. Such as Ca++, Mg++, K+, Mn++ and Fe showed relatively higher concentration in lower horizon indicating the leaching of minerals. The increasing tendency of soil pH with depth seemed to the result of mineral leaching. There was significant positive correlation between Ca+Mg and pH, manganese content appeared to be too high(261~789ppm) in $A_1$ horizon. The contents of organic matter and phosphorus were bight in $A_1$ horizon and greatly varied among golf courses.

  • In this paper, an intervalwise receding horizon control (IRHC) is proposed which stabilizes linear continuous and discrete time-varying systems each other by means of a feedback control stemming from a receding horizon concept and a minimum quadratic cost. The results parallel those obtained for continuous [4],[9] and discrete time varying system [5],[15] each other.

  • A new time-domain FIR parameter estimation called the receding horizon least square estimation (RHLSE) is suggested for stochastic systems by combining the well known least square estimation with the receding horizon strategy. It can be always obtained without the requirement of any \textit{a priori} information about the horizon initial parameter. A fast algorithm for the suggested estimation is also presented which is remarkable in the view of computational advantage and simple implementation. It is shown that the proposed estimation is robust against temporary modeling uncertainties due to their FIR structure through simulation studies.

  • In this paper, a moving horizon control algorithm, which can be applied for a wide class of nonlinear systems with control and state constraints, is considered. In a neighborhood of the origin, a linear feedback controller is applied. Outside this neighborhood, a moving horizon control law is applied. The time taken to solve an optimal control problem is considered in the algorithm so that the proposed control law can be applied as an on-line controller.

  • In the original incremental Extended Horizon Control, the control inputs are computed recursively each step in the prediction horizon. But in this paper, we propose another incremental Extended Horizon Self-tuning Control version in which control inputs can be computed directly in any time interval. The effectiveness of this algorithm in a variable time delay or load disturbances environment is demonstrated by computer simulation. The controlled plant is a nonminimum phase system.

  • It has been more than ten years since Dukun mine was abandoned. Tailings of waste deposits and slime dumps in the abandoned Dukum mine have been left to be deserted for fifty years. The results of fifty years of neglecting are nothing short of major environmental problems. Slime dumps have been exposed to air and water in the mine over ten years and then soil profile has been formed well. Soil in the upper layer (A horizon) is the light gray color due to the leaching of cations. Soil in the lower layer (A2 horizon, 0.2∼0.3m)is tinted with reddish brown and yellowish brown color due to the development of iron oxides and iron hydroxides. Soil in the lower part of B horizon of (1.0∼3.0m) with the growth of copper and zinc oxides exposes to the bluish green, light blue, and dark gray. Ranging from 3m to 8m in depth, 85 samples were taken from 22 sampling sites with 50m intervals located on the slime dump area with hand auger and trench (open cut). As tailings was distributed, heavy metal elements extracted by the process of surface water and ground water move and disperse in to the hydrosphere. Waste dumps were distributed in and around the mine and water draining from those dumps be a potential source of contamination. Soils, thus, can be dispersed into downslope and downstream through wind and water by clastic movement. These materials may be deposited in another horizon if the water is withdrawn, or if the materials are precipitated as a result of differences in pH, or other conditions in deeper horizons. These were primarily associated with acid mine drainage. The characteristics and rate of release of acid mine drainage are influenced by various chemical and biological reactions at the source of acid generations. Prolonged extration of heavy metal elements has a detrimental effect on the agricultural land and residental area. Twenty soil samples were collected from the agricultural land in the area (0∼30 cm). Seventeen samples were also taken from the sediment in the stream running alongside the dumps. The dispersion patterns of heavy metal elements are as follows: The content of As ranged 2∼6 ppm in a horizon, 20∼125 ppm in B horizon with large amount of clay mineral is concentrated and the content of Cd ranged 1∼2 ppm in A horizon, 4∼22 ppm in B horizon. Like Cd, the content of As, Cu, Zn, Pb in B horizon is higher than that in A horizon (approximately 5∼100 times). When soil formation proceeds in stages, it is necessary to investicate the B horizon with the concentration of heavy metal and preventive measures will have to established.
