The flash point for flammable liquids (alcohol, aromatic compounds) were measured by Penskt-Martens's measuring apparatus with closed cup. As a result, it was observed that the flash points had the regular tendency according to the carbon number and the molecular structure. Consequently, the flash point for the alcohols were increased in proportion to the increase of the carbon number and branch number. The differences between the literature and experimental data are 14.6% for the relative error and 3.46$^{\circ}C$ in average for the measuring temperature.

There has been continuous efforts to manage the water resources for the required water quality criterion at river channel in Korea. However, we could not obtain the partial improvement only for the point source pollutant such as, wastewater from urban and industrial site through the water quality management. Therefore, it is strongly needed that the Best Management Practice(BMP) throughout the river basin for water quality management including non-point source pollutant loads. This problem should be resolved by recognizing the non-point source pollutant loads from upstream river basin to the outlet depends on the land use and soil type characteristic of the river basin using the computer simulation by distributed parameter model based on the detailed investigation and the application of Geographic Information System(GIS). Used in this study, Annualized Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution (AnnAGNPS) model is a tool suitable for long term evaluation of the effects of BMPs and can be used for un gauged watershed simulation of runoff and sediment yield. Now applications of model are in progress. So we just describe the limited result. However If well have done modeling and have investigated of propriety of model, well achieve our final goal of this study.

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the impact of increase in impervious areas due to urbanization on the pollutant discharge using the HSPF model at Musim watershed. Model calibration and validation were performed based on the observed data 2015 and 2014, all simulation items have been successfully simulated such as flow, BOD, and TP. The land cover map used in the model reflected on the land use status of the Musim watershed in 2015 and the application of the development areas and locations. As a result of simulation, during rainfall daily pollutant load with the increased impervious land increased more than that before the development. However, the pollutant load decreased during the non-rainfall time. Annual pollutant load in rainfall time was significantly higher than that in non-rainfall time, BOD and TP increased. The simulation of non-point source pollutant load was applied under two assumptions, such as the increased area of impervious land and the non-change number of point source load before and after development. As the result of a simulation, the non-point source pollutant load after development was bigger than those before development. It was necessary to take measures to control non-point source pollution at the consideration status of development.

Sustainable use of water resource and conservation of water quality are essential problems in the world. Especially, problems of water quality are serious one for human health as well as ecological system of all creatures on the earth. Recently, the importance of total effluent load as well as the concentrations of pollutant materials has been recognized not only for the conservation of water quality but also for sustainable water use in watersheds. However, the measurement or estimation of total effluent load from non-point source area such as farm lands or forests may be more difficult because both of concentration and discharge of the water are greatly changed depending on various factors especially metrological conditions such as rainfall, while the measurement from a point source area may be easy because the concentration of pollutant materials and amount of discharge water are relatively steady. Therefore, the total effluent load from a non-point source is often estimated by statistical relationships between concentration and discharge, which is called as L-Q equation. However, a lot of work and time are required to collect and analyze water samples and to get the accurate relationship or regressive equation. So, we proposed a new system for direct measurement of total effluent load of water quality from non-point source areas to solve the problem. In this system, the overflow depth at a hydraulic weir is measured with a pressure gage every hourly interval to calculate the amount of hourly discharge at first. Then, the operating time of a small electric pump to collect an amount of water which is proportional to the discharge is calculated to intake the water into a storage tank. The stored water is taken out a few days later in a case of storm event or several weeks later in a case of non-rainfall event and the concentrations of water quality such as total nitrogen and phosphorous are analyzed in a laboratory. Finally, total load of the water quality can be calculated by multiplying the concentration by the total volume of discharge. The system was installed in a small experimental forestry watershed to check the performance and know the total load of water quality from the forest. It was found that the system to collect a proportional amount of water to actual discharge operated perfectly and a total load of water quality was analyzed accurately. As the result, it was expected that the system will be very available to know the total load from a non-point source area.

The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point because its output characteristics are greatly fluctuated on the variation of insolation, temperature and load. The output power of solar cell is DC, therefore it is necessary to install an inverter among electric power converts. The inverter have to supply a sinusoidal current and voltage to the load and the interactive utility line. In the paper, the proposes a photovoltaic system designed with a step up chopper and single phase PWM voltage source inverter. Synchronous signal and control signal was processed by microprocessor for stable modulation. The step up chopper operates in continuous mode by adjusting the duty ratio so that the photovoltaic system tracks the maximum power point of solar cell without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature because solar cell has typical dropping character. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is, solar cell cannot be developed continuously by connecting with the source of electric power, from 10 to $20\%$. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter operates in situation that its output voltage is in same phase with the utility voltage. The inverter supplies an ac power with high factor and low level of harmonics to the load and the utility power system.

A Fizeau interferometer without beam splitter was constructed. Single-mode optical fiber was used as a spherical wave source and the face of fiber end was polished and coated to be a reflecting surface. The reflecting surface was angled so that interference fringe could be detected by CCD camera. Beam splitter in front of a spherical wave source could distort the wave front and that was one of the component error sources. With the proposed configuration there was no need to place beam splitter in the system. Improvement of phase measuring accuracy was evaluated quantitatively by comparing the result of this setup with that of a conventional Fizeau interferometer. Wave front of the angled end-face optical fiber source was also measured to verify its sphericity by PS/PDI (Phase Shifting/Point Diffraction Interferometer). The principle of this technique was presented and the experimental results and its applications were discussed. ussed.

In recent years, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have been used to search for lost or stolen radioactive sources to avoid radiation exposure for operators. To achieve autonomous localization of radioactive sources, the UGVs must have the ability to automatically determine the next radiation measurement location instead of following a predefined path. Also, the radiation field of radioactive sources has to be reconstructed or inverted utilizing discrete measurements to obtain the radiation intensity distribution in the area of interest. In this study, we propose an effective source localization framework and method, in which UGVs are able to autonomously explore in the radiation area to determine the location of radioactive sources through an iterative process: path planning, radiation field reconstruction and estimation of source location. In the search process, the next radiation measurement point of the UGVs is fully predicted by the design path planning algorithm. After obtaining the measurement points and their radiation measurements, the radiation field of radioactive sources is reconstructed by the Gaussian process regression (GPR) model based on machine learning method. Based on the reconstructed radiation field, the locations of radioactive sources can be determined by the peak analysis method. The proposed method is verified through extensive simulation experiments, and the real source localization experiment on a Cs-137 point source shows that the proposed method can accurately locate the radioactive source with an error of approximately 0.30 m. The experimental results reveal the important practicality of our proposed method for source autonomous localization tasks.

In dose modeling, the shape of actual source and sealed capsule are important parameter to determine the physical dose computation. The author investigated the effect of filter of source self-absorption and sealed capsule to designed the high dose rate Ir-192 source for Ralstron(Japan) unit. The size of source designed to 1.5 mm $\Phi$ x 1.5mm length of actual source sealed with stainless steel which is 3.0mm $\Phi$ x 12.0mm length connected to driving cable. The dose attenuation was derived 66.3 % from 2655 segmented source at reference point of 10mm lateral distance of source. The output dose rate factor in tissue for designed source showed 0.0013511 cGy/mCi-sec in reference point at 1cm lateral distance of source center. The dose distribution at inferior of source showed the 52% of that of source tip region, however, the filtering effect was small as 4% at 45degrees of source axis. The dose attenuation within 20 degrees of source axis at near source-cable connector showed large filtering effect as 40% over, but the small effect was revealed isotropic dose distribution at large angle.
