We propose how to translate relay circuits to the EMFGs(Extended Mark Flow Graphs) formally and analyze the original one by using the mark flow of it. Firstly, the concepts of the output condition, the output-on condition and the output-off condition are introduced in the relay circuits. These can be used to find the structure and the operation of respective relay outputs but the sequential operations of them cannot be obtained from these. Secondly, a relay circuit is translated to the corresponding EMFG as the all output-on conditions and all output-off conditions of it are translated to EMFGs. For the adequate translation, the condition arc and the concepts of the generation transition and the degeneration transition are introduced, and the duality for the simplification of the result. Thirdly, we analyze the operation of the original circuit by analyzing the mark flow of the resulting EMFG. We can achieve easy and fast analysis based on the EMFG's operation algorithm. Finally, we apply these to the relay circuit for an electric furnace and analyze its operation with the mark flow of the resulting EMFG. The formal translation from relay circuits to EMFGs makes the analysis easy so that these results can be used to design, modelling, the fault detection and the maintenance.

In this paper, we describe fire risk of Kimchi refrigerator. The Kimchi refrigerator has been widely spread and used starting from the first half of 2000 and recently fire accidents caused by the Kimchi refrigerator emerged as social concern. In particular, in products of a specific manufacturer, it is not an environmental factor, but a characteristic that the fire is caused due to a defect of the product itself is shown. These features are judged to be formed by unique defects regardless of external factor by forming electrically arc mark in the relay element. In this paper, we analyzed the cause of the fire occurring in the Kimchi refrigerator and finally confirmed the characteristic that the fire occurred mainly in the relay element due to insufficient capacity of the relay element. Therefore, when a fire occurs in a product of the same maker as the Kimchi refrigerator mentioned in this paper, it is always judged that the inspection of the relay element should be carried out.

Pinholes on the thermally grown oxide, which is called gate oxide, on silicon substrate under polysilicon layer are found and its mechanism is analyzed in this paper. The oxide under a polysilicon layer is broken during the plasma etching process of other polysilicon layer. Both polysilicon layers are separated with 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick oxide deposited by CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition). Since broken oxide points are found scattered around an arc occurrence point, it is assumed that an extremely high electric field generated near the arc occurrence point makes the gate oxide broken. 1'he arc occurrence point has been observed on the alignment key and is the mark of low yield. It is found that any arc occurrence can cause chips to fail by breaking the gate oxide, even if are occurrence points are found on scribeline.

Foci of this thesis arc an estimation of willingness to pay and an establishment of green marketing strategics for environment-friendly agricultural products(EFAR). Estimations of willingness to pay for grain, vegetables, fruit and processed food-stuffs arc respectively 20.6%, 20.2%, 19.3% and 17.2% higher than agricultural products produced by conventional farming method. And a green mark6ting mix for EFAP is as follows; Erst, a product strategy focuses on producing safe and high-quality foods by environment-friendly agriculture(EFA) to point to consumer’s health and desire for environmental preservation. Second, in a price strategy, the balance of three factors should be kept, namely the environmental value the true quality as food materials and the price of EFAP. Third, a place strategy is to reduce waste matters, resource and energy uses in marketing chain, and to simplify marketing channels. Also, it is necessary to choose the marketing channel for price discrimination. Fourth, a promotion strategy make use of programs that emphasize the multi-function of EFA.

수자원 분야에서 DEM은 유역을 분할하고 하천망을 생성하며 유역 범위 내에서 지형인자를 계산하는 과정에서 광범위하게 이용되고 있다. 그러나 수치지도의 등고선이나 영상으로부터 추출된 DEM은 sink나 flat area와 같은 오류를 다수 포함하고 있으며, 이러한 오류들을 합리적인 방법으로 제거하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 DEM에서의 sink를 제거하기 위하여 breaching 알고리즘(Grabercht와 Martz, 1996)을 포함하는 filling method(Jenson과 Domingue, 1988; Martz와 Jong, 1988)를 이용하였으며, flat area를 처리하기 위해서는 combined gradient method(Grabercht와 Martz, 1996)를 이용하였다. 또한 흐름방향을 결정하기 위해서는 8방향법(O'Callaghan과 Mark, 1984)을 이용하였다. 이러한 방법을 통하여 보정된 DEM을 이용하여 흐름방향과 흐름누적수를 계산한 후 하천망을 추출하였다. 추출된 하천망은 ArcView 3.2a와 TOPAZ v3.1을 적용한 WMS v6.1에서의 결과와 비교하였으며, DEM의 오류수정을 위한 알고리즘이 적절히 구현된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 DEM 보정기술은 DEM을 수자원 분야에 이용하기 위해 필요한 sink와 flat area 처리를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The objects generated by the keyword new in Java are automatically managed by the garbage collector Inside Java Virtual Machine (JVM) not like using the keywords free or delete in C or C++ programming environments. This provides a means of freedom of memory management burden to the application programmers. The garbage collector however. inherently has its own run time execution overhead. Thus it causes the performance degradation of JVM significantly. In order to mitigate the execution burden of a garbage collector, we propose a novel way of dynamic memory management scheme in Java environment. In the proposed method, the application programmers can explicitly manage the objects In a simple way, which in consequence the run-time overhead can be reduced while the garbage collector is under processing. In order to accomplish this, Java application firstly calls the APIs that arc implemented by native Jana, and then calls the subroutines depending on the JVM, which in turn support to keep the portability characteristic Java has. In this way, we can not only sustain the stability in execution environments. but also improve performance of garbage collector by simply calling the APIs. Our simulation study show that the proposed scheme improves the execution time of the garbage collector from 10.07 percent to 52.24 percent working on Mark-and-Sweep algorithm.

The vertical displacement of a ship on the basis of the sea level is an important parameter for its stability and control. To indicate the displacement on operating conditions, "draft marks" are carved on the hull of the ship in various ways. One of the methods is welding. The position, shape and size of the marks are specified on the shipbuilding rules by classification societies to be checked by shipbuilders. In most cases, high-skilled workers do the welding along the drawing for the marks and welding bead becomes the marks. But the inaccuracies due to human errors and high labor cost increase the needs for automating the work process of the draft marks. In the preceding work, an indoor robot was developed for automatic marking system on flat surfaces and the work proved that the robot welding was more effective and accurate than manual welding. However, many parts of the hull structure constructed at the outdoor are cowed shapes, which is beyond the capability of the robot developed for the indoor works on the flat surface. The marking on the curved steel surface requiring the 25m elevations is one of the main challenges to the conventional robots. In the present paper, the robot capable of climbing vertical curved steel surfaces and performing the welding at the marked position by effectively solving the problems mentioned earlier is presented.

We identify a strong lensing galaxy in the cluster IRC 0218 that is spectroscopically confirmed to be at z = 1.62, making it the highest-redshift strong lens galaxy known. The lens is one of the two brightest cluster galaxies and lenses a background source galaxy into an arc and a counterimage. With Hubble Space Telescope (HST) grism and Keck/LRIS spectroscopy, we measure the source redshift to be $z_S=2.26$. Using HST imaging, we model the lens mass distribution with an elliptical power-law profile and account for the effects of the cluster halo and nearby galaxies. The Einstein radius is $^{\theta}E=0.38^{+0.02{\prime}{\prime}}_{-0.01}$ ($3.2^{+0.2}_{-0.1}kpc$) and the total enclosed mass is $M_{tot}(<^{\theta}_E)=1.8^{+0.2}_{-0.1}{\times}10^{11}M_{\odot}$. We estimate that the cluster environment contributes ~ 10% of this total mass. Assuming a Chabrier IMF, the dark matter fraction within $^{\theta}E$ is $f^{Chab}_{DM}=0.3^{+0.1}_{-0.3}$, while a Salpeter IMF is marginally inconsistent with the enclosed mass ($f^{Salp}_{DM}=-0.3^{+0.2}_{-0.5}$).

The characteristics of the aluminum waste melting and the distribution of the radioactive nuclides have been investigated for the estimation on the volume reduction and the decontamination of the aluminum wastes from the decommissioning of the TRIGA MARK it and III research reactors at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI). The aluminum wastes were melted with the use of the fluxes such as flux $A:NaCl-KCl-Na_3AlF_6$, flux B:NaCl-NaF-KF, flux $C:CaF_2$, and flux $D:LiF-KCl-BaCl_2$ in the DC graphite arc furnace. For the assessment of the distribution of the radioactive nuclides during the melting of the aluminum, the aluminum materials were contaminated by the surrogate nuclides such as cobalt(Co), cesium(Cs) and strontium(Sr). The fluidity of aluminum melt was increased with the addition of the fluxes, which has slight difference according to the type of fluxes. The formation of the slag during the aluminum melting added the flux type C and D was larger than that with the flux A and B. The rate of the slag formation linearly increased with increasing the flux concentration. The results of the XRD analysis showed that the surrogate nuclide was transferred to the slag, which can be easily separated from the melt and then they combined with aluminum oxide to form a more stable compound. The distribution ratio of cobalt in ingot to that in slag was more than 40% at all types of fluxes. Since vapor pressures of cesium and strontium were higher than those that of the host metals at the melting temperature, their removal efficiency from the ingot phase to the slag and the dust phase was by up to 98%.
