This study is to test the applicability of SLURP (Semi-distributed Land Use-based runoff Process) model that is a semi-distributed, continuous hydrologic model developed by Kite (1997). The Soyanggang-dam watershed ($2,694km^2$) was selected. The DEM, land-cover map, monthly NDVI from NOAA/AVHRR and daily meteorological data of 2001 were prepared. By using the parameter optimization technique, SCE-UA (Shuffled Complex Evolution-University of Arizona), the model was calibrated and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency was 0.73.

As the environmental regulations become stricter, new machining technologies are being developed which takes envi ronmenta 1 aspects into account . Since cut t ing oi I has some impact on environment. many researches are being carried out to minimize the use of cutting oi I. The methods for minimizing cutting oil usage includes the following techniques: I ) Cooling of tools and work piece. 2) Useage of compressed cooling air for the removal of chip. 3) Minimal useage of environment-friendly vegetable cutt:ngoiI for lubrication between chip and tools. Since the turning machine is continuous, tools are under constant thermal load and tool wear increases as the lubricative performance degrades. Also surface roughnesses have a direct influence on turning. In order to examine the characteristics of turningmachining, this work investigates experimentally the degree of tool wear and characteristics of surface roughness in relation to machining conditions, supply methods, and cooling methods.

The above described semi-transparent monochromators have been operational since 1997. Four units are permanently operating at the ESRF beam line ID14. Two units are in continuous operation at ID 10 and one unit is installed at the APS beamline 8-ID in USA. The water cooling of the crystals is currently being revised and above we showed that improvements most likely are possible by using micro fluidics techniques. Further tests will be performed in collaboration with the CEA-France and tested at ESRF. Parallel developments including nanofluids as coolants are under evaluation. Combination of nanofluidics and microfluidics cooling devices are under study. The authors are grateful to C. Gillot and J-A. Gruss for useful discussions and advices, and to S.Mcheik for his work on the thermal model.

Due to growing demand on wireless data traffic, a large number of different types of base stations (BSs) have been installed. However, space-time dependent wireless data traffic densities can result in a significant number of idle BSs, which implies the waste of power resources. To deal with this problem, we propose an active state control algorithm based on semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) for a heterogeneous network. A MDP in discrete time domain is formulated from continuous domain with some approximation. Suboptimal on-line learning algorithm with a random policy is proposed to solve the problem. We explicitly include coverage constraint so that active cells can provide the same signal to noise ratio (SNR) coverage with a targeted outage rate. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm properly controls the active state depending on traffic densities without increasing the number of handovers excessively while providing average user perceived rate (UPR) in a more power efficient way than a conventional algorithm.

Our work is based on the development of a numerical model to develop a methodology for predicting the aging and breakdown in insulation due to the dynamics of space charge packets. The model of bipolar charge transports is proposed to simulate space charge dynamic for high DC voltage in law-density polyethylene (LDPE), taking into account the trapping and detrapping of recombination phenomena, this model has been developed and experimentally validation. Theoretical formulation of the physical problem is based on the Poisson, the continuity and the transport equations as well as on the appropriate models for injection. Numerical results provide temporal and local distributions of the electric field, the space charge density for the different kinds of charges, conduction and displacement current densities, and the external current.

In this study, semi-continuous measurements of $PM_{2.5}$ mass, organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC), black carbon (BC), and ionic species concentrations were made for the period of April 03~13, 2012, at a South Area Supersite at Gwangju. Possible sources causing the high concentrations of major chemical species in $PM_{2.5}$ observed during a haze episode were investigated. The measurement results, along with meteorological parameters, gaseous pollutants data, air mass back trajectory analyses and PSCF (potential source contribution function) results, were used to study the haze episode. Substantial enhancements of OC, EC, BC, $K^+$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO{_3}{^-}$, $NH{_4}{^+}$, and CO concentrations were closely associated with air masses coming from regions of forest fires in southeastern China, suggesting likely an impact of the forest fires. Also the PSCF maps for EC, OC, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and $K^+$ demonstrate further that the long-range transport of smoke plumes of forest fires detected over the southeastern China could be a possible source of haze phenomena observed at the site. Another possible source leading to haze formation was likely from photochemistry of precursor gases such as volatile organic compounds, $SO_2$, and $NO_2$, resulting in accumulation of secondary organic aerosol, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO{_3}{^-}$. Throughout the episode, local wind directions were between 200 and $230^{\circ}C$, where two industrial areas are situated, with moderate wind speeds of 3~5 m/s, resulting in highly elevated concentration of $SO_2$ with a maximum of 15 ppb. The $SO{_4}^{2-}$ peak occurring in the afternoon hours coincided with maximum ambient temperature ($24^{\circ}C$) and ozone concentration (~100 ppb), and were driven by photochemistry of $SO_2$. As a result, the pattern of $SO{_4}^{2-}$ variations in relation to wind direction, $SO_2$ and $O_3$ concentrations, and the strong correlation between $SO_2$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ($R^2=0.76$) suggests that in addition to the impact of smoke plumes from forest fires in the southeastern China, local $SO_2$ emissions were likely an important source of $SO{_4}^{2-}$ leading to haze formation at the site.

As a basic studies for the laboratory scale production of alfalfa inoculum, Rhizobium meliloti M14 was characterized for its carbon and nitrogen sources, and some parameters for broth cultivation in a chemostat were studied by semi-continuous operation. The result s obtained were as follows. 1. Growth rate of the strain was increased by disaccharides than by monosaccharides tested, and pentoses resulted in poor growth than hexoses. Sugar alcohols including inositol supported the best growth among sugars. 2. Mannitol in the yeast-mannitol-broth was substituted by natural carbon sources such as malt extract or molasses. 3. Ten per cent of fresh yeast water appeared to supply enough amount of growth factor s for the strain, and the effect was equivalent to 0.24 percent of the commercial yeast extract powder. 4. Batch growth of the stain in a chemostat, New Brunswick Micro Ferm 28L, reached in the early stationary growth phase of $5{\sim}7{\times}10^9cells/ml$ after 36 hours of incubation. The culture at this stage was switched to semi-continuous cultivation, and the culture broth of four-fifth of the working volume was recovered every 24 hours when the maximal count was obtained.

In this thesis, we develop a spectral analysis scheme to eliminate the spurious peaks generated in HRR Millimeterwave Seeker based on FMICW system. In contrast to FMCW system, FMICW system generates spurious peaks in the spectrum of its IF signal, caused by the periodic discontinuity of the signal. These peaks make the accuracy of the system depend on the previously estimated range if a band pass filter is utilized to eliminate them and noise floor go to high level if random interrupted sequence is utilized and in case of using staggering process, we must transmit several waveforms to obtain overlapped information. Using the spectral analysis one of the schemes such as IAA(Iterative Adaptive Approach) and SPICE(SemiParametric Iterative Covariance-based Estimation method) which were introduced recently, the spurious peaks can be eliminated effectively. In order to utilize IAA and SPICE, since we must distinguish between reliable data and unreliable data and only use reliable data, STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform) is applied to the distinguishment process.

The purpose of this study was to determine optimum value of aeration, acetate dosage, and $CO_2$ input for the cultivation of Scenedesmus acuminatus. Highest specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity was obtained by the aeration of 0.72 vvm and lower specific growth rates and maximum biomass productivity were obtained for other aeration tests. When putting 0.3 M of ammonium acetate in JM medium, the highest specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity were obtained. $CO_2$ input tests were performed during semi-continuous culturing tests. The highest specific growth rate ($0.460d^{-1}$) and maximum biomass productivity ($0.936gL^{-1}d^{-1}$) were obtained after replacing 50% of solution with 0.3 M of acetate solution for $CO_2$ input tests. However, more dilutions after the first dilution resulted in lower specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity. In aeration tests, the highest specific growth rate ($0.381d^{-1}$) and maximum biomass productivity ($0.253gL^{-1}d^{-1}$) were obtained when cultivating it with JM medium, but the specific growth rate and maximum biomass producitivty were significantly decreased when 50% of solution was replaced by acetate containing solution.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose was performed in a bubble column with tangential flow ulrafiltration membrane unit. The reactor was operated in a batch mode as well as semi-continuous and continuous with continuous removal of products through the tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. The optimum superficial gas velocity was 1-3cm / sec so as to avoid bubble coalescence and enzyme denaturation. In continuous and selni-cotinuous process, the conversion was gradually increased but the total reduced sugar concentration was drcastically dereased with the dilution rate. It was concluded that the bubble column attaching tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane unit was effective on continuous hydrolysis of cellulose and recovery of enzyme.
