The loss of connectivity and fragmentation of forest landscapes are seriously hindering dispersal of many forest-dwelling species, which may be critical for their viability and conservation by decreasing habitat area and increasing distance among habitats. For understanding their environmental impacts, numerous spatial models exist to measure landscape connectivity. However, general relationships between functional connectivity and landscape structure are lacking, there is a need to develop landscape metrics that more accurately measure landscape connectivity in whole landscape and individual patches. We reviewed functional and structural definition of landscape connectivity, explained their mathematical connotations, and applied representative 13 indices in 3 districts of Seoul having fragmented forest patches with tits, the threshold distance was applied 500m by considering the dispersal of tits. Results of correlation and principal component analysis showed that connectivity indices could be divided by measurement methods whether they contain the area attribute with distance or not. Betweenness centrality(BC), a representative index measuring distance and distribution among patches, appreciated highly stepping stone forest patches, and difference of probability of connectivity(dPC), an index measuring including area information, estimated integrated connectivity of patches. Therefore, for evaluating landscape connectivity, it is need to consider not only general information of a region and species' characteristics but also various measuring methods of landscape connectivity.

Reactor vessel internals comprehensive vibration assessment program(RVI CVAP) is one of the necessary tests to ensure the safety of nuclear power plants. RVI CVAP of U.S. nuclear regulatory commission regulatory guide 1.20(U.S. NRC R.G. 1.20) consists of the analysis, measurement and inspection. One of the core technologies of the measurement program for RVI CVAP is to select suitable sensors because the measurement is conducted during the critical path of the construction period of nuclear power plants. Therefore, we analyzed RVI thermal-hydraulic and structure design data of Palo Verde nuclear power plant(U.S.), Yonggwang nuclear power plant(Korea) and APR1400 and researched measuring sensors used in them; moreover, we investigated sensors used for measurement of RVI CVAP for the last 20 years throughout the world. Based on these results, we selected suitable measuring sensors for RVI CVAP in advanced power reactor 1400(APR1400).

In a low-voltage distribution system, the molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) is a widely used device to protect loads by interrupting over-current; however the hot gas generated from the arc discharge in the interrupting process depletes the dielectric recovery strength between electrodes and leads to re-ignition after current-zero. Even though the circuit breaker is ordinarily tripped and successfully interrupts the over-current, the re-ignition causes the over-current to flow to the load again, which carries over the failure interruption. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dielectric recovery process and the dielectric recovery voltage of the MCCB. To determine these characteristics, a measuring system comprised of the experimental circuit and source is implemented to apply controllable recovery voltage and over-current. By changing the controllable recovery voltage, in this work, re-ignition is driven repeatedly to obtain the dielectric recovery voltage V-t curve, which is used to analyze the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB. A measuring system and an evaluation technique for the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB are described. By using this system and method, the measurement to find out the dielectric recovery characteristics after current-zero for ready-made products is done and it is confirmed that which internal structure of the MCCB affects the dielectric recovery characteristics.

The crystalline character of NaOH and KOH-cellulose complex having different tension ratio was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. Cellulose crystalline lattices in tension alkali treatment cotton were identified by measuring and indexing the 101, 101, and 002 reflections. According as alkali treatment tension ratio increased on, cellulose gave rise to the formation of I rather than cellulose II. It seemed that a part of the fine structure of cellulose increased orientation with antiparaell and parallel chain crystal structure. The high tension ratio alkali treatment cotton resulted in lower dye sorption and in higher breaking strength and crease recovery.

A SOI was fabricated by the FIPOS technique using n/p+/p silicon structure. Fabricated silicon island which has 3\ulcorner thickness and 100\ulcorner width was investigated by measuring van der Pauw resistivity, Hall mobility, dielectric breakdown voltage and leakage current. Hall mobility of the SOI was measured to be 300-500cm\ulcornerV.sec and its breakdown field was 1-2 MV/cm. The cross-sectional geometries of the SOI island were examined by SEM and optical microscope.

This paper presents an image processing method for two dimensional position measurement of a floating structure. This method is based on image processing technique using concept of window and threshold processing to track the target object. The experimental results for position measurement of the target object in two dimensional water tank demonstrate the validity of this method.

In this paper, we consider a standby redundant structure with a function of switchover processing which may not be not perfect. The switchover processing is governed by a control module whose failure may cause the failure of the whole system. The parameters measuring such an effect of failure of the control module is included in our reliability model. We compute several reliability measures such as reliability function, failure rate, MTBF, mean residual life function, and the steady state availability. We also compare a single unit structure and the redundant structure with regard to those reliability measures. An example is given to illustrate our results.

The productivity of summer phytoplankton communities in Lake Hwajinpo, Lake Yongrang and Lake Changja were studied by measuring vertical variation of chlorophyll a amounts. The author also classified the lake types on the basis of the amount of chlorophyll in the lake water. And in Lake Changja, the seasonal changes of stratification of chlorophyll were studies. In Lake Hwajinpo, the productive structure of the phytoplankton community in summer was found to be L-shaped and of the mesotrophic type. In Lake Yongrang, the productive structure of the phytoplankton community in summer was alo L-shaped and of the mesotrophic type. And maximum chlorophyll layer was near the lake bottom below the compensation depth. In Lake Changja, the structure of phytoplankton community in summer was reversed L-shaped and of the eutrophic type, with the maximum chlorophyll layer just below the surface. The vertical distribution of chlorophyll amounts as a measure of the productive structure almost always formed a stratum distribution except in September and sometimes in May, in Lake Changja. In September homogeneous distribution was observed.

Computer programs for a structure design help the optimum design that considers each condition. however, the findings can not explain accurately a behavior of the real-living structure because each condition of a structure is simplified and generalized. The smart structure is introduced to overcome these problems, and we can understand a behavior of the real-living structure by means of Health Monitoring System. In this study, we compare a behavior by means of the existing structure design with a behavior of the living structure by means of an experiment. As a result, we examine adequacy of a measuring system and developing possibility in the future.
