The spectral content of ground displacement of the 10 largest last California earthquakes is studied. Specifically, the power spectral density function of the critical horizontal-component record of the closest-to-epicenter station is analyzed in each case. The results permit to state that horizontal ground displacement is a narrow-band process. This fact was previously noticed while trying to solve the large-base-displacement problem in isolated structures and it was fundamental in the solution of this issue; however, these preliminary results were limited in number to enable a statement like the foregoing one. Thus, the broader results presented herein were necessary.

The Korean railroads' logistics are facing the important turning points by the connection of. South and North Korean railroads, and the commercial opening of the High Speed Rail. These two factors demand several plans for the development of railroads' logistics, in which intermodal transportation with the others modes is wholly studied. In this respect the case of port of Hamburg, Germany, where railroads are completely integrated in the port, will permit the Koreans some useful lessons for the future of railroads' logistics.

Thermosyphons are simple devices that can passively transport thermal energy over relatively long distance with little temperature degradation. These attributes permit the use of low grade thermal energy for thermal control of structures including the snow melting and deicing to the pavement surface. The thermosyphon system requires no costly energy input and Is completely maintenance free. This paper presents the experimental results of the snow melting system in which thermosyphon was utilized to transfer the geothermal energy to the pavement to obviate slipping traffic accidents due to freezing of pavement in winter.

A memory industry is developing rapidly according to the period of the ubiquitous to approach. According to the development of a memory industry, the efficiency of the manufacture is becoming the serious consideration. DC parameter test system was a development low in this research for an efficiency increase of the manufacture. DC parameter test system increase of the manufacture. In the method to measure the output after permit volt and current at element.

An estimation methodology, based on statistics and numerical method, has been developed for estimating the upper explosive limits(UEL) of paraffinic and olefinic hydrocarbon compounds. With proposed method, the UEL has been calculated for 24 paraffinic and 10 olefinic hydrocarbon compounds. The estimated the UEL agree with the experimental values within a few percent. A comparisond with four other methods avaiable in the literature are also presented. It is hoped eventually that this method will permit estimation of the UEL with improved accuracy and broader application for other compounds.

Although surgical resection remains the best option as potentially curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, radiofrequency thermal ablation has begun to receive much attention as an effective minimally invasive technique for the local control of unresectable malignant hepatic tumors. Most recent radiofrequency devices equipped with a powerful generator and larger needle electrode permit larger thermal lesions, up to 5 cm in diameter, with a single ablation. In this article, the author reviews the technical developments and early clinical results obtained with radiofrequency ablation techniques.

The wages of migrant workers about the rational discrimination and equal treatment have been treated partially. Foreign workers are also discussed in terms of the productivity and rational discrimination, but it is very limited. The Business community has been persisting that the minimum wage system for foreign workers should be excluded. Unlike local workers, migrant workers are relatively in that position with limited work place, a limited period of time to provide labor for the purpose of wage, in that points, the gap of the reality and the laws surrounding wages can be identified. This is expressed the conflicts and distress between employers and workers. Meanwhile, wages and equal treatment on the part of the study have been discussed, but it is hard to be organized clearly. Be related to this study, it will have a limitation. In this paper, since the employment permit system was enforced, the status of wages and distress and the factor of conflicts between the employer and the foreign worker examine and suggest the improvement plan for the law regarding wage.

Because vehicles increases very rapidly by elevation of people living standard since 1995 years, become parking space of residential street poorly and most vehicles is doing unlawfulness parking to two faces road. So, was placed popular enmity and administration's difficulty by operation of system that have been enforcing Resident Priority Parking System in each ward office since 1996 years, but is not computerized. In this paper examines about GIS technology, wire and wireless communication technology, character recognition technology etc. that is base technology necessary to Design and Implementation Wire and Wireless Integrated System for Resident Priority Parking System. Explain main process, That is registration, assignment, control, traction process. And see execution appearance of implementation system. Operation of integrated system is considered very rapidly regulation illegal parking and Illegal parking expect on the decrease.

There are disputes for oil and gas development between China and Japan in the East China Sea. These involve the area where China is already carrying out activities of oil and gas development and where Japan is proclaiming its EEZ. China insists that the Chinese activities on oil and gas development area are being carried out within the Chinese jurisdictional waters even if the median line principle of Japanese proclamation is applied in delimitation. Indeed, the permit for Japanese development is causing disputes between China and Japan because its permit allows development in the waters adjacent to Chinese development area. h the event, the core of this dispute around the oil and gas field in the East China Sea relates to issues of maritime boundary delimitation and issues of resources acquisition with both states. Chinese policy on oil and gas development is to first consider development issues in accordance with a median line principle where waters toward to China from the median line should be developed by China and the area toward Japan from the median line within the Chinese continental shelf should be jointly developed. However, the Japanese position is that the East China Sea should be jointly developed, and Japan hopes to eventually convince China to accept its median line delimitation. With on-going development of such issues, Korea should establish a strategy of negotiation based on analyses of resource distributional conditions and other strategic factors in the Korean delimitation area. In particular, Korea should prepare and make the best use of joint development zone established in an agreement between the ROK and Japan concerning the development of the southern part of continental shelf adjacent to both states.

Cap-and-trade policies that allow firms to trade emission allowances are designed to reduce emissions at least cost and are shown to be efficient when there is no uncertainty over emissions. This paper examines how uncertainty in emissions affects firms' decisions about permit purchase and abatement. The results show that whether firms abate more under uncertainty compared to a case with no uncertainty depends on the expected penalty cost and marginal abatement cost. If the expected marginal penalty cost is greater than the marginal abatement cost, the firm will choose to reduce emissions and abate more under uncertainty. When the expected marginal penalty is greater than the marginal cost of abatement, increases in uncertainty result in reduced emissions. This paper also examines whether the order of abatement and permit trading and the realization of uncertainty affect firms' decisions. The results show that total expected emissions are the same regardless of the order of moves.
