The thickness of buried gas pipeline is determined mainly with internal pressure and location factor according to the requirements of ANSI B3l.8. But the stress of buried gas pipeline is determined by not only internal stress but also external loads. The change of burying and environmental conditions, therefore, may result in increasing stress of pipeline. In order to avoid the decrease of safety degree resulting from change of environmental condition, the evaluation of stress level shall be necessary. The reliable equations have been developed for calculating stress of buried pipeline from internal pressure, earth load, vehicle load, ground subsidence. But they are very difficult to understand and use for non-specialist. For easy calculation of non-specialist, the new computer program to calculate stress of buried natural gas pipeline have been developed. The program can calculate maximum stress resulted from earth load, vehicle load, thermal load, four type ground subsidence. The stress is calculated by the equations and extrapolation of the graph resulted from FEM. In this paper, as the series of paper I, the operating method and the functions of the program is explained.

With the incidence of antibiotic resistant bacteria there is increasing interest in natural products such as herb extract and probiotics to control antibiotic resistant bacteria. This study was focused on the determination of antimicrobial activity of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten against Salmonella enetrica serovar Enteritidis (S. enterifidis), S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) DT 104 and Escherichia coli 0157:H7. Though bactericidal effect of 0. ficus-indica var. saboten was not observed, it had significant inhibitory activity against Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157:H7 on the Moulter Hinton agar containing its solution dissolved in deionized water. To investigate the antimicrobial activity in vivo, mice were challenged with 5. Typhimurium DT104 (3.7$\times$108 cfu/mouse) after pre-feeding 0. ficus-indica var. saboten solution. The fecal shedding of S. Typhimurium DT104 was more dramatically decreased and not detectable in feces and intestines 3 days after challenge in mice fed with 0. ficus-indica var. saboten. Antibody responses of the intestinal IgA were also significantly increased in mice fed with 0. ficus-indica var. saboten. These findings suggest that Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten decreased the shedding of S. Typhimurium DT104 in vitro and also in the gastrointestinal tract in mice. In addition, administration of the product might enhance the mucosal immune response against S. Typhimurium DT 104. In conclusion, Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten might be useful to control antibiotic resistant bacteria in vivo and in vitro.

For the development of biological wastewater treatment process using photosynthetic bacteria (PSB), photosynthetic sludge process consisted of anaerobic digestion and PSB reactor were designed for the treatment of swine wastewater and the optimal operating conditions in flask-scale were examined. Photosynthetic bacteria from soil, pond, rice field, ditch etc. were isolated in synthetic medium containing high amount of organic acids and finally isolated one strain KK14 which showed the most degradating ability of organic acids was selected for the treatment of swine wastewater. It was identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris. In the anaerobic digestion stage, the maximum organic acid productivity was obtained at pH 5.0, $37^{\circ}C$, HRT 2 day and under anaerobic standing condition. The optimal operating conditions of PSB reactor for the treatment of swine wastewater were pH 7.0, $30^{\circ}C$ under 4,000 lux illumination, and optimal initial COD loading (kg COD/kg D. C. W of PSB) was 2 (20% v/v seeding) in the main purification stage. Maximum removal rate of COD reached 92% under the above optimal conditions for 5 days.

SmBCO coated conductors were successfully fabricated using EDDC (Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chambers) deposition system that is a bath type co-evaporation system for fabrication of superconducting tape and divided into two chambers named evaporation chamber and reaction chamber. To obtain long and high quality superconducting coated conductor, it is very important to secure the uniformity of all the deposition parameters m the deposition system such as deposition temperature, oxygen partial pressure, compositional ratios and so on. Therefore, we investigated the distribution of the parameters along the axis of the drum m EDDC on which tapes were wound helically. When the temperature on the middle point of deposition zone was $700^{\circ}C$, that on the edge of deposition zone was $675^{\circ}C$. When the thickness of SmBCO layer on the middle point of deposition zone was 1063 nm, that on the edge of deposition zone was 899 nm. The partial pressure of oxygen was 5 mTorr in the reaction chamber while that was $7{\times}10^{-5}$Torr in the evaporation chamber. The composition ratio of Sm:Ba:Cu, that was measured by EDX, was very uniform along the axis of the drum. Under these deposition conditions, critical current distribution along the drum axis was 175 A/cm, 190A/cm, 217.5 A/cm, 182.5 A/cm, 175 A/cm with the interval of 9 cm between samples. It means that the EDDC system has the potential of fabricating (100m, 200A) class coated conductor.

동시 증발 증착법 화합물의 구성원자를 독립적으로 증발시켜서 기판에 증착하는 방법이다. 각 물질은 온도에 따른 증기압을 가지는데 각 물질의 온도를 조절하여 증착률을 조절한다. 보트에서 떠난 원자가 기판에 도달할 확률은 챔버의 진공도, 보토와 기판과의 거리 등에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 진공도가 나쁠수록, 보트와 기판과의 거리가 멀수록 기판에 도달할 확률이 떨어진다. 동시증발 증착법을 이용한 SmBCO 초전도층 증착에서 각 물질의 기판에 도달하는 원자비를 조절하기 위하여 QCM(증착률 측정장치), QCM 가이드를 사용하였다. QCM sensor 입구에 튜브형태의 QCM 가이드를 설치하고 QCM 가이드가 특정한 물질의 증발보트를 향하도록 배치하였다. 따라서 각 보트에서 떠난 원자들은 특정한 QCM sensor에 도달하게 되고 결국 3원소(Sm, Ba, Cu)의 증착률의 비를 조절함으로써 조성비를 조절할 수 있게 된다. QCM 증착률의 비와 실제 조성비는 여러 가지 변수에 의하여 영향을 받는 다. 대표적인 변수는 챔버의 진공도, QCM 가이드의 직경 및 길이, QCM 센서와 보트와의 거리 등이 있다. 진공도가 높을수록 특정 보트에서 떠난 원자들이 QCM 가이드 입구에 도달할 확률이 낮아지고, QCM 가이드의 직경이 좁을수록 가이드 내벽에 흡착될 확률이 높아진다. 또한 QCM센서와 보트와의 거리가 멀수록 챔버내 잔류가스의 원자들과 충돌확률이 높아지므로 도달확률이 줄어들게 된다. 동시 증발 증확법에서 조성비의 재현성을 높이기 위해서는 매회 증착실험에서 진공도가 일정해야 하며, QCM 가이드와 보트와의 거리를 되도록 최소화 하고, QCM 직경을 크게 하는 것이 유리하다.

The 1-3 piezoelectric composite transducer with 75 volume percents PZT was fabricated by the dicing-filling method. The resonance modes of the 1-3 transducer have been studied with electric impedance measurement as a function of frequency. The fundamental frequencies of the planar and thickness mode were observed at 0.95MHz and 1.63MHz respectively, but the lateral mode was not observed. In the thickness mode, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the 1-3 piezoelectric composite transducer, 0.54, was very closed to that of the single phase PZT(0.52). The pulse-echo response by exciting the 1-3 transducer with an electric pulse was observed from the water/reflector interface, and analyzed bandwidth by the spectrum of the impulse response. The quality factor Q for the 1-3 transducer was observed as 1.5 smaller than that of the single phase(80) and then the 1-3 transducer may be used to the broad band type transducer applications.

최근에 이상기후로 인해 예측하기 힘든 기상현상들이 돌발적이고 대규모의(또는 설계빈도를 초과하는) 집중호우를 야기하여 댐과 같은 수공구조물의 안전을 위협하고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 대규모의 집중호우로 발생되는 댐의 붕괴에 대한 대책을 수립하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 특히 댐의 붕괴가 도시의 침수로 이어지는 경우는 더욱 많은 인명과 재산피해를 발생시키므로 도시지역을 흐르는 범람홍수파의 특성에 대한 규명은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 홍수범람파의 특성을 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 모의하였다. 저류 수심 0.4m, 두께 0.8m의 댐이 붕괴하여 붕괴폭이 1m가 된다고 가정하였고, 도시지역은 댐으로부터 5m 거리에 위치한다고 가정하였다. 대상 도시지역은 $0.3m{\times}0.3m{\times}0.6m$($L{\times}W{\times}H$)인 정사각형 블록들을 $5{\times}5$ 정방향으로 배치하였고, 수리실험 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 그리고 범람홍수파가 흐름방향과 일치하게 접근해오는 경우와 도시지역으로의 접근각도에 따른 범람홍수파의 변화를 보기위해 흐름방향에 대하여 각각 $10^{\circ}$, $22.5^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ 회전시킨 경우에 대해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 그리고 각 경우의 침수영향들을 비교하여 그 차이점을 분석하였다. 모의 결과 범람홍수파의 접근각도가 흐름방향에 대해 커질수록 도시선단에서 도수는 적게 일어났고 유속도 감소하였으며, 수심은 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 범람홍수파가 흐름방향과 일치하게 접근해 올 때가 가장 위험한 case 라는 것을 알 수 있다. 이 결과는 추후 유체-구조물간의 연성해석을 통하여 범람 홍수파의 흐름이 건물에 주는 영향까지 파악한다면 예방대책 수립의 보다 더 정확한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The $BaHfO_3$ (BHO) buffer layer on the IBAD MgO template was turned to be effective for a successful fabrication of $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (GdBCO) films with high critical current density ($J_c$). Both the BHO buffer layers and GdBCO films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The effects of the PLD conditions, including substrate temperature ($T_s$), oxygen partial pressure ($PO_2$), and deposition time on the in-plane texture, surface roughness, and microstructures of the BHO buffer layers on the IBAD MgO template were systematically studied for processing optimization. The c-axis oriented growth of BHO layers was insensitive to the deposition temperature and the film thickness, while the in-plane texture and surface roughness of those were improved with increasing $T_s$ from 700 to $800^{\circ}C$. On the optimally processed BHO buffer layer, the highest $J_c$ value (77 K, self-field) of 3.68 $MA/cm^2$ could be obtained from GdBCO film deposited at $780^{\circ}C$, representing that BHO is a strong candidate for the buffer layer on the IBAD MgO template.

In this paper, we implement the embedded speech recognition system to support various application services such as audio and video control using speech recognition interface on cars. The embedded speech recognition system is implemented and ported in a DSP board. Because MIC type and speech codecs affect the accuracy of speech recognition. And also, we optimize the simulation and test environment to effectively remove the real noises on a car. We applied a noise suppression and feature compensation algorithm to increase an accuracy of sppech recognition on a car. And we used a context dependent tied-mixture acoustic modeling. The performance evaluation showed high accuracy of proposed system in office environment and even real car environment.

Compared with Newtonial fluids, magnetic fluids have effects on magnetic force. In this study, the purpose is to research the heat transfer characteristic of magnetic fluids which have metalic and fluid characteristics as the external pipe is being cooled and internal pipe is heated. This study found the experimental results from the study of the variety of natural convection for magnetic fluids and the characteristics of the heat transfer by using numerical analysis according to the strength and direction of the magnetic fields from being imposed from the outside. Natural convection of magnetic fluids was controlled by the impressed magnetic fields, and the result of mean nusselt number was calculated. If the impressed magnetic field is in the direction of gravity or the strength of impressed magnetic field is more than -14 mT in the opposite direction, the heat transfer is more than that without the impressed magnetic field. If the strength of impressed magnetic field is less than -14 mT in the opposite direction, it is smaller than that without the impressed magnetic field. Especially, when the strength of the magnetic field is -14 mT, the heat transfer was at the minimum.
