This paper presents a new seismic isolation design for liquid storage tank (LST). The seismic isolation system includes: LST, flexible membrane, sand mat and rolling seismic isolation devices. Based on the mechanical equilibrium theory, the symmetric concave rolling restoring force model of the isolation device is derived. Based on the elasticity theory and restoring force model of the seismic isolation, a simplified mechanical model of LST with the new seismic isolation is established. The rationality of the seismic isolation design of LST is explored. Meanwhile, the seismic response of the new seismic isolation LST is investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the new seismic isolation tank can effectively reduce the seismic response, especially the control of base shear and overturning moment, which greatly reduces the risk of seismic damage. The seismic reduction rate of the new seismic isolation storage tanks in Class I, II, and III sites is better than that in Class IV sites. Moreover, the seismic isolation device can effectively control the ground vibration response of storage tanks with different liquid heights. The new seismic isolation LST design provides better isolation for slender LSTs than for broad LSTs.

The control circuit of the CPP applied to FFX Batch-I and LST-II may be capable of generating a backward pitch even when the grounding phenomenon occurs in the other system. The purpose of this study was to improve the CPP control circuit to maintain the pitch even in the event of grounding. Since the CPP control circuit changes the propeller angle with the voltage difference input, it has a design structure that can be vulnerable if the input voltage fluctuates instantaneously. In order to solve the above problem, a terminating resistor is applied to the end of the control wire and a signal converter is applied between the control wires, as a way to improve the CPP control circuit design. In order to verify that there is no problem in improving the CPP control circuit design, the CPP pitch change control was tested in the actual sailing commissioning with LST-II. Since the command pitch value and the feedback pitch value are very similar to each other, it is confirmed that the CPP control circuit is suitable for the control signal transmission because there is no problem in transmitting the control signal.

To study the recovery pattern of pulmonary function after decortication, the author performed serial pulmonary function tests using spirometry before and at lst., 3rd., 4th. week, lst., 3rd., 6th. month and 1st. year in 36 patients who underwent decortication from January 1989 to September 1991 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital, Pusan, Korea. Patients were divided into 3 groups by the degree of compression of lung parenchyme. Group I was classified below 20%, Group II between 21 to 40%, Group III above 41%. Their serial changes of pulmonary function test were compared. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Maximal voluntary ventilation was recovered in 1st post perative week and even greater improvement was noted in group III in which ratio to 44 % of the preoperative value. 2. Vital capacity reached nearly to preoperative values in 3rd postoperative week and had increased much further to 26 % above the preoperative figure in group II. 3. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second returned rather slowly in 3rd-4th postoperative week and the mean VC was improved more higher in group II than the other groups following decorti cation. 4. There was an greatest improvement over all tests[MW, VC, FEV1] in 2nd decade which ratios to preoperative value were 34, 25 and 22 % respectively.

KSR-II, a two-stage sounding rocket of KARI was launched successfully at the west coast of the Korean Peninsula at 1000LST, June 11, 1998. For the ozone measurement mission, 8-channel UV and visible radiometers were onboard the rocket. The rocket measured the first in situ stratospheric and mesospheric ozone density profile over Korea during its ascending phase using the radiometer. Comparisons with Dobson spectrophotometer, ozonesonde, and HALOE onboard the UARS are shown together. Our results are in reasonable agreements with others.

Analysis of high-resolution seismic profiles and sediment data from the southeastern continental shelf of Korea reveals that the late Quaternary deposits consist of a set of lowstand (LST), transgressive (TST), and highstand systems tracts (HST) that corresponds to the sea-level change after the Last Glacial Maximum. LST (Unit I) above the sequence boundary consists of sandy mud or muddy sand deposited during the last glacial period and is confined to the shelf margin and trough region. TST (Unit II) between transgressive surface and maximum flooding surface consists of sandy sediments deposited during the postglacial transgression (15,000-6,000 yr BP). Although TST is widely distributed on the shelf, it is much thinner than LST and HST. On the basis of distribution pattern, TST can be divided into three sub-units: early TST (Unit IIa) on the shelf margin, middle TST (Unit IIb) on the mid-shelf, and late TST (Unit IIc) on the inner shelf, respectively. These are characterized by a backstepping depositional arrangement. HST(Unit III) above the maximum flooding surface is composed of the fine-grained sediments deposited during the last 6000 yrs when sea level was close to the present level and its distribution is restricted to the inner shelf along the coast.

Experimental verification of numerical results is conducted by measuring the dynamic strains of mid-points of the coupler and the lever for the 4-bar linkage mechanism with rigid bearing and flexible bearing, respectively. For the axial strain of lever mid-point, the numerical results including geometric stiffness almost agree with the experimental ones, however, the numerical results excluding geometric stiffness almost agree with the experimental ones for the axial strain of coupler mid-point. It is supposed that these phenomena should be caused by the fact that the motion of the coupler is more complicated than of the lever. The signals of dynamic strains of coupler and lever mid-points, measured by strain gages, are transformed into frequency domain by fast fourier transformer. From this experiment, the lst resonance frequencies of the coupler and the lever are obtained. It is made clear that the former almost agrees with the fundamental and the latter the 2nd mode natural frequency of the mechanism system calculated by numerical analysis.

Along with the increase in global volume of goods, logistics companies are trying to reduce costs by increasing the size of ships carrying cargo, increasing the efficiency of quantitative equipment at ports, and unmanned electric vehicles on land. Korean naval ports are also facing the same situation as the global trend. In the past, small and medium-sized ships such as FF, PCC, and beheaded eagles are being retired for their longevity, and their positions are being replaced by large ships such as KDX, FFG, and LST-II. In particular, large ships such as Dokdo and the next light aircraft carriers are also being prepared. Unlike general merchant ships, naval ships require periodic inspections and preventive maintenance, so repair piers such as maintenance depots are in operation. The naval maintenance depot mainly uses trailers, trucks, and truck-type cranes to carry out loading and unloading of heavy ships, and the application or development of automation and unmanned equipment performed by the private sector is inadequate, and self-improvement cases are also very weak. This study aims to improve the efficiency of the military logistics system through research on the logistics system such as transport, storage and unloading of heavy goods and maintenance products of naval ships.

In this study, we coupled a computation fluid dynamics (CFD) model to the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS), a current operational numerical weather prediction model of the Korea Meteorological Administration. We investigated the characteristics of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) distributions in a building-congested district. To analyze the effects of road emission on the PM2.5 concentrations, we calculated road emissions based on the monthly, daily, and hourly emission factors and the total amount of PM2.5 emissions established from the Clean Air Policy Support System (CAPSS) of the Ministry of Environment. We validated the simulated PM2.5 concentrations against those measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. In the cases of no road emission, the LDAPS-CFD model underestimated the PM2.5 concentrations measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. The LDAPS-CFD model improved the PM2.5 concentration predictions by considering road emission. At 07 and 19 LST on 22 June 2020, the southerly wind was dominant at the target area. The PM2.5 distribution at 07 LST were similar to that at 19 LST. The simulated PM2.5 concentrations were significantly affected by the road emissions at the roadside but not significantly at the building roof. In the road-emission case, the PM2.5 concentration was high at the north (wind speeds were weak) and west roads (a long street canyon). The PM2.5 concentration was low in the east road where the building density was relatively low.

Now that the plume of point source was suspected to have strong impact on visibility impairment in Pusan, we evaluated visibility impairment impact of the pulme from Pusan Thermo Electric Power Plant in Pusan. Level-1 and-2 analyses were carried out using VISCREEN(Visual Impact Screen model). The emission rates for this Pusan Thermo Electric Power Plant was projected to be 116g/s of nitrogen oxides(as $NO_2$). The source fails the level-1 test with a Plume perceptibility(ΔE) of 30, nearly 15 times the screeing threshold. To characterize worstcase meteorological conditions for level-2 screening, we obtained meteorological data from Mar., 1996 to Feb., 1997 of Pusan Thermo Electric Power Plant. The source fails the level-2 test with a ΔE of 17, nearly 8.5 times the screening threshold. These analyses indicated that adverse visibility impairment could not be ruled out. Therefore a Level-3 analysis was performed using PLUVUE II(Plume Visibility model). As a result, maximum reduction of visual range for 0900LST in winter was 0.9%. Visual impact of the plume from vast point source was judged to be considerable in terms of background visibility of urban area.
