This paper describes an investigation about the fluid delivering method that minimizes the generation of hydrodynamic pressure and improves the grinding accuracy. Traditionally, grinding fluid is delivered for the purpose of cooling, chip flushing and lubrication. Hence, a number of conventional investigations are focused on the delivering method to maximize fluid flux into the contact arc between the grinding wheel and the work piece. It is already known that hydrodynamic pressure generates due to this fluid flux, and that it affects the overall grinding resistance and machining accuracy. Especially in the ultra-precision mirror grinding process that requires extremely small amount of cut per pass, its influence on the machining accuracy becomes more significant. Therefore, in this paper, a new delivering method of grinding fluid is proposed with focus on minimizing the hydrodynamic pressure effect. Experimental data indicates that the proposed method is effective not only to minimize the hydrodynamic pressure but also to improve the machining accuracy.

In lap welding of zinc-coated steel, porosity formation is one of most significant weld defects, which is caused by zinc vapor generated between the steel sheets. Various solutions have been proposed in the past years but development of more effective method is a worthwhile subject to be investigated. In this study, autogenous laser welding and laser-TIG hybrid welding was applied to the lap welding of zinc-coated steel without gap, and weld pool behaviors were observed by using high speed camera and the porosity generation mechanism was analyzed. The weld defects were successfully eliminated by laser-TIG hybrid welding. This is because the leading TIG arc partially melted the upper sheet and vaporized/oxidized the coated zinc on the lapped surfaces prior to the trailing laser illuminating the specimen.

Recently some urban areas have been flooded due to heavy storm rainfalls. Though major causes of these floodings may be attributed to localized heavy rainfalls, other factors are related to urban flooding including deficiency of storm sewer network capacity, change of surface runoff due to covered open channels, and operational problems of storm drainage pump stations. In this study, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of Sutak basin in Guri city were carried out to evaluate flooding problems occurred during the heavy storm in July, 2001. ArcView, a world most widely used GIS tool, was used to extract required data for the hydrologic analysis including basin characteristics data, concentration times, channel routing data, land use data, soil distribution data and SCS runoff curve number generation from digital maps. HEC-HMS, a GIS-based runoff simulation model, was successfully used to simulate the flood inflow hydrograph to Sutak pumping station.

The purpose of this study is the introduction of pollutant loads's estimation into Saemangeum watershed area with M.E.'s guidebook for TMDL and GIS tool. To estimate reliable pollutants loads, it is necessary to think about characteristic of removal, discharge and runoff as time series. In this study, it was calculated for generation loads which be came from pollutant source, discharge loads which be reduced in the treatment facilities and delivery loads which be considered the self purification parameter and delivery distance. To assess the delivery distance handily, it was particularly estimated using Arc-GIS. It was met with good results that delivery loads of BOD, T-N and T-P was reflected to seasonal precipitation. Lastly to verify the estimated pollutant loads, HSPF developed by USEPA was applied to it. It was showed a relativity of observed to simulated data for flow, Temperature, DO, BOD, $NO_3^--N$ TN and TP. Consequantly, this delivery loads can make full use of model input data for prediction of pollutant loads.

Quinary Ti-Al-Si-C-N films were successfully synthesized on SUS 304 substrates and Si wafers by a hybrid coating system combining an arc ion plating technique and a DC reactive magnetron sputtering technique. In this work, the effect of Si content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Al-C-N films were systematically investigated. It was revealed that the microstructure of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings changed from a columnar to a nano-composite by the Si addition. Due to the nanocomposite microstructure of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings, the microhardness of The Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings significantly increased up to 56 GPa. In addition the average friction coefficients of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings were remarkably decreased with Si addition. Therefore, Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings can be applicable as next-generation hard-coating materials due to their improved hybrid mechanical properties.

We have obtained high angular resolution maps toward a molecular cloud associated with an HII region S287 and studied mainly kinematics of the cloud. The mapped region is 1.5 square degrees of the cloud in the transitions of $^{12}CO\;and\;^{13}CO\;J=1-0$. We have obtained a large range of mass, $1.3\times10^4M_\bigodot$, to $7.2{\times}10^4M_{\bigodot}$ using three different techniques. The S287 molecular cloud shows a very disturbed feature: velocity field of the cloud is very complicated, and shows several arcs. It is likely that the southern part of cloud is being disrupted by the residing HII region S287 as well as external perturbing sources. In addition to an HII region, five bipolar outflows are also disturbing the molecular gas significantly. The large virial mass and the very disturbed morphology may reflect the fact that the cloud is not gravitationally bound system, as in the case of nearby giant molecular cloud (GMC) G216-2.5. The several arc structure and the filamentary features are possibly driven by external strong stellar winds, and these external perturbing sources may be driving the second generation of star-forming activities on the edges of the S287 molecular cloud.

The Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_{n}$Cu$_{n+1}$ O$_{x}$, superconducting thin films arc fabricated by using the sputtering and evaporation method. Because we confirmed the sticking ratio of Bi element in the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_{n}$Cu$_{n+1}$ O$_{x}$ superconducting thin film fabricated by using the sputtering method was much lower than the expected value, to get the enough number of the flakes of Bi, faraday cup was used to evaporate Bi clement. As a result of the fabrication, Bi 2201 and Bi 2212 single phases could be made by the optima of deposition condition. And we confirmed the sticking coefficient of Bi element was clearly related to the temperature change of the substrate and the generation of Bi22l2 phase

A method for acquiring an environmental map by integrating distance data obtained by sonars of a moving robot with web interface is proposed. Sonar data contains outliers in some cases such as ultrasonic beam is projected onto a corner of an object. Therefore, the influence of the outliers should be reduced by detecting outliers. In our method, the outliers are detected by two ways: (i) a method considering geometrical .elation among the observed surface and the projected ultrasonic beau, and (ii) a method considering consistency with data obtained by other sonars. By measurement by the sonar, the distance from the sonar to the obstacle is obtained. Assuming the two dimensional space we can know that the inside of the sector, whose renter coincide with the sonar and whose radius is equal to the obtained distance, is the free area, and a part of the arc of this sector is the obstacle area. The generation of the environmental map is done by integrating the free area and the obstacle area obtained by each measurement by the sonars. Before the integration, the outliers detection is done by two ways mentioned above. Experimental results show that obtained maps obtained by our methods with outliers defection are much better than those by a method without outliers detection.

The purpose of this paper is to produce color harmony code based on color harmony prototype in terms of environmental color design. This paper proposes ways of categorizing more accurate color harmony prototype through digital image processing by the computer program called the Color Syntax. The method of analysis adopted in this paper is pixel based color image processing. The study suggests color harmony prototype which are categorized by a color harmony angles. These angles represented internal relations between colors. This study describes development processes of color harmony prototype which is a basis for creating color harmony codes. Development processes of color harmony schema consists of color analysis, color codes generation and color selection. Also, how to analyze color images and to chose suitable harmony color codes among various codes are main research issues. As a final result, 109 color harmony codes have been obtained. These code numbers are suggested through rotating 2 color pairs in a 360-degree arc in the same color harmony angles, the codes which is applicable to the color harmony schema previously developed. This color harmony codes will produce better color environment in a sense that it will help designers to maximally reduce their time consumption, and the results of their designs will also be related to the use of proper color for regional environments.

With the rapid development of spatial infrastructure in US, Europe, Japan, China and India, there is no doubt that the next generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will improve the integrity, accuracy, reliability and availability of the position solution. GNSS is becoming an essential element of personal, commercial and public infrastructure and consequently part of our daily lives. However, the applicability of GPS in supporting a range of location-sensitive applications such as location based services in an urban environment is severely curtailed by the interference of the 3D urban settings. To characterize and gain in-depth understanding of such interferences and to be able to provide location-based optimization alternatives, a high-fidelity 3D urban model of Melbourne CBD built with ArcGIS and large scale high-resolution spatial data sets is used in this study to support a comprehensive simulation of current and future GNSS signal performance, in terms of signal continuity, availability, strength, geometry, positioning accuracy and reliability based on a number of scenarios. The design, structure and major components of the simulator are outlined. Useful time-stamped spatial patterns of the signal performance over the experimental urban area have been revealed which are valuable for supporting location based services applications, such as emergency responses, the optimization of wireless communication infrastructures and vehicle navigation services.
