This paper proposes a model that considers the parity-time symmetric structure as a state detection circuit for sensor applications using a stretchable inductor. In particular, to obtain a more practical computer simulation result, the stretchable inductor model was applied to this study model by referring to previously reported experimental results. The resistance component and phase component were controlled through the negative differential resistance circuit used in this study. In addition, the imbalance of the circuit caused by a change in the characteristics of the stretchable inductor could be compensated for using a negative differential resistance circuit. In particular, an analysis of the frequency characteristics of the sensor driving circuit of the parity-time symmetric structure proposed in this study confirmed that the Q-factor could be increased up to 20 times compared to the conventional resonant circuit.

Sintering and microwave dielectric properties of $Zn_{2-2x}Si_{1+x}O_4$ (x=0~0.10) ceramics were investigated. The secondary phase of ZnO was observed in the specimen for x=0 whereas $SiO_2$ was detected in that for x=0.05. The composition of $Zn_2SiO_4$ might be close to x=0.02, i.e., $Zn_{1.96}Si_{1.02}O_4$; the ratio of Zn/Si is 1.922. The insufficient grain growth was observed in the specimen of x=0. For the specimens of $x{\geq}0.05$, the grain growth sufficiently occurred through the liquid phase sintering. The value of quality factor of all specimens was dependent on the x value, i.e., the ratio of Zn/Si, whereas that of dielectric constant was independent. Relative density, dielectric constant, and quality factor ($Q{\times}f$) of the specimen for x=0.05, i.e., $Zn_{1.9}Si_{1.05}O_4$, sintered at $1,400^{\circ}C$ were 96.5%, 6.43, and 115,166 GHz, respectively.

The phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of (Ba_1-xNa_x)(Mg_0.5-2xY_2xW_0.5-xTa_x)O₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) ceramics were investigated. All compositions exhibited a 1:1 ordered perovskite structure. As the value of x increased, the dielectric constant (ε_r) exhibited a tendency to increase slightly. The quality factor reached the maximum value at x = 0.01. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ_f) increased from -19.32 ppm/℃ to -5.64 ppm/℃ in the positive direction as x increased. The dielectric constant (ε_r), quality factor (Q × f₀), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ_f) of the composition x = 0.05, i.e., (Ba_0.95Na_0.05)(Mg_0.4Y_0.1W_0.45Ta_0.05)O₃ were 19.9, 128,553 GHz, and -5.6 ppm/℃, respectively.

The $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO(1, 3, 5wt%) were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of $950^{\circ}C$∼$1075^{\circ}C$ for 3hr in air The structural properties and the microwave dielectric properties of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics were investigated with sintering temperature and the addition of CuO. Increasing the addition of CuO, the peak of second phase($Cu_3Nb_2O_{8}$) was increased. The grain size of the $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO was increased with CuO addition at same temperature. The dielectric constant of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with CuO was increased with sintering temperature and CuO addition. While the quality factor of the $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ ceramics with lwt% CuO depended on sinterability, the quality factor of $ZnNb_2O_{6}$ with 3wt% and 5wt% CuO depended on second Phase due to the CuO addition. The optimum dielectric Properties of $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 21.73 Q${\times}$f = 19,276 were obtained from the condition of 3wt% CuO addition and sintering temperature of $1025^{\circ}C$(3hr).

The quality factors for cylindrical ionization chambers for kV X-rays were determined by Monte Carlo calculation and measurement. In this study, the X-rays of 60-300 kV beam (lSO-4037) installed in KFDA and specified in energy spectra and beam qualities, and the chambers of PTW N23333 and N30001 were investigated. In calculations, the $R_{\mu}\;and\;R_{Q,Q_{0}}$ in IAEA dosimetry protocols were determined from the air kerma and the cavity dose obtained by theoretical and Monte Carlo calculations. It is shown that the N30001 chamber has a flat response of $\pm1.7\%$ in $110\~300kV$ region, while the response range of two chambers were shown to $\pm3\~4\%$ in $80\~250kV$ region. From this work we have discussed dosimetry protocol for the kV X-rays and we have found that the estimation of energy dependency is more important to apply dosimetry protocol for kV X-rays.

This study is selected two points of combined sewer that occurred Fish Kill after first flush, that analyzed generation of pollutants and stream runoff generation of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as fine weather and rainfall. In addition, this study was to analyze the relationship between CSOs and sediments, to propose measures to reduce the sediment relevant with CSOs and rainfall runoff from entering sewage treatment plants and measures for discharged directly into streams when indicate relatively good water quality after overflow. Sediments in combined sewer system was discharged about 50~80% as overflows during rainfall and we can reduce the amount of the CSOs at least 50% or more if the sewer does not exist in the sediments because of the amount of discharge about the amount of intercept has been investigated by 3~5 times. Because of velocity at sediment interval in sewer is very low, sewage velocity of about 3~5 times as much as it can increase the amount of sediment can be reduced if the separation wall is installed. Effective control of BOD overflow load is respectively 77.5%, 75.8% at first point, second point by the separation wall is installed. Drainage area greater than area in this study or many combined sewer overflows region is increased the more effective control of separation wall. Turbidity to measure changes in water quality of overflows can be used as an factor to control the intercept flows because the intercept flows(3Q) after the first flush has lowered removal efficiency and increases the operational load of sewage treatment plants. Sewage water quality after a overflow when the reasonable turbidity was measured at this point flows to excluded intercept flow(1Q) can be discharged to stream.

Q estimates are made by direct measurements of energy loss per cycle from primary P and S waves, as a function of frequency. Assuming that intrinsic Q is frequency independent and scattering Q is frequency dependent over the frequencies of interest, the relative contributions of each, to a total observed Q, may be estimated. Test examples are produced by computing viscoelastic synthetic seismograms using a pseudo spectral solution with inclusion of relaxation mechanisms (for intrinsic Q) and a fractal distribution of scatterers (for scattering Q). The composite theory implies that when the total Q for S-waves is smaller than that for P-waves (the usual situation), intrinsic Q is dominating; when it is larger, scattering Q is dominating. In the inverse problem, performed by a global least squares search, intrinsic $Q_p$ and $Q_s$ estimates are reliable and unique when their absolute values are sufficiently low that their effects are measurable in the data. Large $Q_p$ and $Q_s$ have no measurable effect and hence are not resolvable. Standard deviation of velocity $({\sigma})$ and scatterer size (A) are less unique as they exhibit a tradeoff as predicted by Blair's equation. For the P-waves, intrinsic and scattering contributions are of approximately the same importance, for S-waves, the intrinsic contributions dominate.

Dielectric properties were investigated at Mn doped $(Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x})ZrO_{3}$ with x=0.38 in microwavefrequencies. Both the density and Q values of sintered ceramics increased with increasing calciningtemperature. In the sample sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, the deped Mn ions completely solubled in $(Pb,Ca)ZrO_{3}$ phase until 0.5wt% and the grain size was independent of doping amount. It was observed thathigh dielectric constant of 90 - 100 and high quality factor of 1300 at 4 GHz for O.l5wt% Mn doped$(Pb_{0.62}Ca_{0.38})ZrO_{3}$. The Mn" and Mn" worked as acceptors in $(Pb,Ca)ZrO_{3}$ which created the oxygen vacancies and affected the increment of the Q values. However, the excess Mn doping more than 0.5wt% resulted in decreasing Q values.decreasing Q values.

The increase of impervious cover (IC) in a watershed is known as an important factor causing alteration of water cycle, deterioration of water quality and biological communities of urban streams. The study objective was to assess the impact of IC changes on the surface runoff characteristics of Kap Stream basin located in Geum river basin (Korea) using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). SWMM was calibrated and verified using the flow data observed at outlet of the watershed with 8 days interval in 2007 and 2008. According to the analysis of Landsat satellite imagery data every 5 years from 1975 to 2000, the IC of the watershed has linearly increased from 4.9% to 10.5% during last 25 years. The validated model was applied to simulate the runoff flow rates from the watershed with different IC rates every five years using the climate forcing data of 2007 and 2008. The simulation results indicated that the increase of IC area in the watershed has resulted in the increase of peak runoff and reduction of travel time during flood events. The flood flow ($Q_{95}$) and normal flow ($Q_{180}$) rates of Kap Stream increased with the IC rate. However, the low flow ($Q_{275}$) and drought flow ($Q_{355}$) rates showed no significant difference. Thus the subsurface flow simulation algorithm of the model needs to be revisited for better assessment of the impact of impervious cover on the long-term runoff process.
