Road guide sign is one of important traffic facility, which guides a driver a direction to go. A road is being newly built and/or an existing road can be temporarily closed very often at metropolitan area. Such information has to be linked to a road guide sign and to be updated in time. Otherwise, it might cause not only confusion to a driver but also traffic accident and/or traffic congestion. However, road guide signs are not properly managed at this time since the amounts of information are huge and they are being managed through paper maps manually. A decision-making framework has been developed to manage a variety of information of road guide signs based on the concept of GIS(Geographic Information Systems). Especially, it is designed on the fact that the existing national digital base maps under the NGIS(National Geographic Information Systems) program can be utilized. This framework has several functions such as the manipulation of statistics, landmark linkages along the selected traffic corridor and automatic design of signboard's content. This system is applied to the Kangnam district in Seoul Metropolitan area (SMA) for a case study.

In order to deal with the globally increasing electric power demand and reduce $CO_2$ emission, complex thermoelectric power plants are being constructed in densely populated downtown areas. As the environmental regulations are continuously strengthened, various facilities like low NOx burner and SCR are being installed to reduce NOx emission. This study is applied using the TMS emission of $NO_2$ from combined heat and power plant located in Goyang-si Gyeonggi-do. Applying data to the computational fluid dynamics(CFD), and compared with the actual measurement results. It is judged that even though there might be differences between actual measurements and CFD results due to the instant changes of wind direction and wind speed according to measurement time during measurement period, modeling results and actual measurement results showed similar concentration at most forecasting areas and therefore, the forecasting concentration could be deducted which is close to actual measurement by calculating the contribution concentration considering the surrounding concentration in the future.

A ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ phosphor target was synthesized through solid-state reactions at a calcine temperature of 700 $^{\circ}C$ and sintering temperature of 1300 $^{\circ}C$ in order to deposit ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ phosphor thin film at various temperature using rf magnetron sputtering system. A ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ phosphor thin film was deposited on Si(100) substrate and annealed by a rapid thermal processor(RTP) at 700 $^{\circ}C$, for 15 sec. The x-ray diffraction patterns of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ phosphor target and thin film showed the main peak (311) direction. ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ thin film has better crystalization due to as function of increasing substrate and annealing temperature. The cathodoluminescence(CL) spectrums of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ phosphor thin film showed the main peak 420 nm wavelength and the maximum intensity at the substrate temperature of 500 $^{\circ}C$ and annealing temperature of 700 $^{\circ}C$, for 15 sec.

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal filtering condition and threshold for the detection of gait-cycles for various walkway slopes as well as gait velocities. Ten young healthy subjects with accelerometer system on thigh and ankle walked on a treadmill at 9 conditions (three speeds and three slopes) for 5 minutes. Two direction signals, i.e. anterior-posterior (AP) and superior-inferior (SI) directions, of each sensor (four sensor orientations) were used to detect specific events of gait cycle. Variation of the threshold (from -1G to 1G) and lowpass cutoff frequency (fc) were applied to the event detection and their performance was evaluated according to the error index (EI), which was defined as the combination of the accuracy and false positive rate. Optimal fc and threshold were determined for each slope in terms of the EI. The optimal fc, threshold and their corresponding EI depended much on the walkway slope so that their coefficients of variation (CV) ranged 19~120%. When all data for 3 slopes were used in the identification of optimal conditions for each sensor, the best error indices for all sensor orientations were comparable ranging 1.43~1.76%, but the optimal fc and threshold depended much on the sensor position. The result indicates that the gait-cycle detection robust to walkway slope is possible by threshold method with well-defined filtering condition and threshold.

In this study, the observation environment of surface wind at an automatic weather station (AWS 288) located at Naei-dong, Mirang-si was analyzed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and geographic information system (GIS). The 16 cases with different inflow directions were considered before and after construction of an apartment complex around the AWS 288. For three inflow directions (south-south-westerly, south-south-easterly, and north-north-westerly), flow characteristics around the AWS 288 were investigated in detail, focusing on the changes in wind speed and direction at the AWS location. There was marked difference in wind speed between before and after construction of the apartment complex in the south-south-westerly case. In the south-south-easterly and north-north-westerly cases which were frequently observed at the AWS 288, the construction of the apartment complex had no marked influence on the observation of surface wind.

We investigated the stability of the DLC film coated on 304 stainless steel substrate by Radio frequency assisted chemical vapor deposition method. Fracture and spallation behaviour of the coating was observed during micro-tensile test of the fil $m_strate composite. As the tensile deformation progressed, the cracks of the film were observed in the perpendicular direction to the tensile axis. Further deformation resulted in the plastic deformation with $45^{\circ}$ slip bands on the substrate surface. Spallation of the film occurred with the plastic deformation, which was initiated at the cracks of the film and was aligned along the slip directions. We found that both the cracking and the spallation behaviors are strongly dependent on the pre-treatment condition, such as Ar plasma pre-treatment. The spallation of the film was considerably suppressed in an optimized condition of the substrate cleaning by Ar glow discharge. We observed the improved stability with increasing duration of Ar plasma pre-treatment.nt.

Recently, spintronic devices with submicron structures are widely investigated to take advantage of their unique micromagnetic properties. In this work, we study the temperature dependence of exchange bias in bilayer anti-dot arrays made by depositing Co (40 nm)/Ni (5 nm) ferromagnetic bilayer on Si substrate to form anti-dot arrays with a diameter $1{\mu}m$. The anti-dot patterning was done only for the upper Co layer, while the Ni underlayer was kept unperforated. The temperature dependences of magnetoresistance (MR) and exchange bias were studied along magnetic easy and hard axes. The in-plane MR measurements were performed using a physical-property measurement system (PPMS ; Quantum Design Inc.) at various temperatures. The standard in-line four-point probe configuration was used for the electrical contacts. As temperature was varied, the MR data were obtained in which in-plane field (H=3 kOe) was applied in the directions along the hard and the easy axes with respect to the lattice plane. The temperature dependences of magnetic anisotropy and exchange bias were also studied along the magnetic easy and hard axes. As temperature decreases, the single peak splits into two peaks. While no exchange bias was observed along the magnetic easy axis, the exchange bias field steadily increased with decreasing temperature along the magnetic hard axis. These results were interpreted in connection with the magnetic anisotropy and the effect of the anti-dots in pinning domain wall motion along the respective direction.

Effect of sintering condition in mechanical properties of ZrSiO\ulcorner shell molds was investigated. Number of microcrack in primary layer of the mold was maximized after preheating at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1.5 hours. Yield strength and specific surface area of the mold were inversely proportion to sintering temperature and time. After hot deformation test at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, molds were deformed opposite to the loading direction and backup layers were cracked along the interface between stucco and zircon slurry. Reverse deformation of the molds during hot deformation test was considered to be resulted from the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between alumina stucco and zircon slurry in primary coat, and size difference between zircon stucco and zircon slurry in backup coat.
