In the last decades, there has been much interest in climate variability because its change has dramatic effects on humanity. Especially, the precipitation data are measured over space and their spatial association is so complicated. So we should take into account such a spatial dependency structure while analyzing the data. However, in linear models for analyzing the data, data sets show severely skewed distribution. In the paper, we consider the Box-Cox transformation to satisfy the normal distribution prior to the analysis, and employ a Bayesian hierarchical framework to investigate the spatial patterns. The data set we considered is monthly average precipitation of the third quarter of 2007 obtained from 347 automated monitoring stations in Contiguous South Korea.

Water covers 70% of the earth's surface and the human body consist of 75% of it. It is clear that water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Over the last 30 years or so, numerous studies have attempted to find out more about the water microscopically. In this paper, we investigated how the receding and advancing contact angle of the moving water droplet changes on a solid surface having various LJ epsilon parameters. To observe the dynamic contact angle history, a body force applied to all water molecules after obtained the water droplet in equilibrium with the solid surface. We obtained the density profile and receding and advancing contact angle of the moving water droplet

The process for the production of mannitol with fructose (5% to 25%) using Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1149 was investigated. Optimization study for mannitol production was carried out in 8 liter batch or fed-batch cultures at $28^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0, without aeration. When 5% fructose was used in a batch culture fermentation, the yield of mannitol was 78% of theoretical. As the concentration of fructose was increased to 10% in a batch culture, the yield was reduced to 59.6% of theoretical. Using a fed-batch fermentation with 10% fructose, the yield was increased to 81.9%. When 15% fructose was used for a fed batch fermentation 5% fructose was initially added and the last 10% fructose was supplied continuously. The final yield of mannitol was 83.71% of theoretical. When 20% fructose was used, the yield was more higher, 89.48%.

The purpose of this paper was to explore delay avoiding measures and strategies. The paper was based on previous work of authors on finding delay causes. Firstly, the paper has discussed about delay avoidance measures prescribed by the previous work. As the previous study identified five main causes of construction delays, various measures and strategies to overcome those delay problems have been discussed in sequence in the last sections. Major delay prevention strategies are: involving stakeholders in the project decisions, outreach program, realistic time and resource estimation, try to adjust the triple constraints of time, cost and scope, ensure fair and complete disclosure of information at an early stage of the construction project, contractor, itself should inquire about patent design errors prior to submitting its bid, owner should include in its contract with the consultant an indemnity (protection) clause etc.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand and describe the essence and the structure of lived experience of liver transplant recipient. Five individual interviews were conducted to gather data regarding their subjective experiences. About 130 significant statements were extracted and these were clusterd into 9 themes. End stage liver disease patients chose their last treatment - liver transplantation. After liver transplantation, recipients experience vague anxiety and uneaseness related to much information and life style change that they had to accept. And they feared to lose their health again. But they felt free from medication and restriction of food. And they satisfied with regaining their physical status. Most of the recipients also had financial difficulties and social restrictions. And they experience uncertainty about their future. But they restored their previous social life. And they experience psychological wellbeing and hope. The results of this study might help nurses who work with liver transplant recipient in establishing and implementing an effective nursing intervention by understanding their lived experience.

It is well known to diesel engineers that the heat release pattern is one of the most important factors affecting engine performance. Thorough research in heat release pattern has materially helped the progress in high-speed diesel engine development . This paper is based on the research conducted at KAIST and Daewoo Heavy Industry last year. The purpose of this paper is to determine the heat release pattern in combustion chamber of MAN M type, the famous low-noise engine. Thermodynamic cycle simulation was performed using Whitehous-Way's heat release pattern with modified coefficients and Annand's heat transfer model. Instantaneous temperature and pressure of gas in cylinder could be determined by the numerical solution of simultaneous equation of mass conservation, equation of energy conservation, and state equation of ideal gas. Calculated results were compared with measured values in some details emphasizing upon the factors affecting rate of heat release. The agreement was fairly good and revealed why M type should have lower burning velocity at the early part of combustion in spite of high injection rate. Additional results by parametric studies were given in relation to fuel injection conditions for further application to engine development.

A one-upper level warehouse n-Iower level retailer inventory distribution model is discussed. This paper presents the parallel-type inventory structure using an order-up-to-level invertory control system for analyzing the approximation of the expected units back ordered and the measure of service. We find that the total expected backorder units in system can substitute the expected back orders in the last two periods for the expected back orders in total periods. The rate of total expected back orders which is the measure of disservice, is given by dividing the improved units of total expected backorder into the total demand during an order cycle. The average annual total cost in system is obtained by considering the results, but from the viewpoint of this study the cost analysis is not described.

In general, outflow is larger with rainfall but it is various in the initial moisture condition of basin and condition of rainfall distribution in both time and space. In this study, changes of outflow with time varied rainfall data were analyzed in the basin in which the moisture distribution is constant. Outflow differences with rainfall intensive of first period, middle period, and last period of month are 6.1% in January, 7.8% in February, 9.8% in March, 22.6% in April, 15.7% in May, 19.1% in June, 22.6% in July, 22.4% in August, and 16.8% in september respectably. The results show that 10 days outflow differences are ranged from 6.1% to 22.6% under the constant moisture condition, Outflow differences in the flood seasons are larger than them in the drought seasons.

Each nation of the world is intensively propelling the R&D investment to solve the financial crisis and worldwide economic recession occurred from last year. This means the world economic is under economic system based on the knowledge. So, The R&D is continuously propelled for possession of the technology through the R&D stock and which is core in the knowledge based economic system. In this world stream, our government is also increasing the R&D investment and checked the technology level through surveying the R&D stock and corn parison of each industry or world. The R&D investment of the railroad is continued but there is no data of the R&D stock. So, surveying the railroad R&D stock and comparing with korea industry is processed.

A new on-the-fly conversion algorithm is proposed, and high-speed array multipliers with the on-the-fly conversion are presented. The new on-the-fly conversion logic is used to speed up carry-propagate addition at the last stage of multiplication, and provides constant delay independent of the number of input bits. In this paper, the multiplication architecture and the on-the-fly conversion algorithm are presented and discussed in detail. The proposed architecture has multiplication time of (n +1)$t_{FA}$, Where n is the number of input bits and $t_{FA}$ is the delay of a full adder. According to our comparative performance evaluation, the proposed architecture has shorter delay and requires less area than the conventional array multiplier with on-the-fly conversion.
