Orthogonal codes like Walsh and Golay codes may have large correlation value when they are not synchronized, hence they are seldom used in asynchronous CDMA systems. Wysocki[1] showed that by multiplying the original Walsh-Hadamard matrix with an orthogonal transformation matrix the resultant matrix sustains orthogonality between row vectors and their cross-correlation can be reduced. Soberly and Wysocki[2] proposed similar scheme on Golay codes. This implies that using the proper orthogonal transformation cross-correlation of Walsh and Golay codes can be reduced, and the transformed codes can be used for user separation in the CDAM reverse link. In this paper we discuss cross-correlation related parameters which affect the performance of an asynchronous CDMA link, and we investigate the correlation properties of the transformed codes. When we designed orthogonal transformation matrices for Walsh and Golay codes, we minimized the maximum value of aperiodic cross-correlation of the codes ($ACC_{max}$) or the mean square value of the aperiodic cross-correlation($R_{cc}$) with preserving the orthogonality of the modified codes. We also evaluate the asynchronous CDMA system that uses the transformed Walsh and Golay codes.

The effect of diets(high fat, high fat high energy, pectin, cellulose) on lipid metabolism were in 70 male rats for 8 weeks. The rats were assigned to either a control(C), high fat (HF) or high fat high energy(HFHE)group for 4 wks. During the next 4wks, reassigned to one of three treatments(high fat, pectin, cellulose) in the HF group and one of three treatment (hign fat high energy, pectin, cellulose) in the HFHE group. Therefore, the total treatment group became 7 (C, HF, HF-P, HF-C, HFHE, HFHE-P, HFHE-C). Parameters evaluated and compared for each diet were body weight, total energy intake, Feed Efficiency Ratio (F.E.R), total lipid, total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol(HDL-C), HDL-C/TC, triglyceride (TG), phospholipid in serum, and changes in liver and spleen. The results are surmmarized as follows ; 1. There were no signiticant differences in boby weight gain among the groups. 2. Total energy intake was higher in the C group than other groups. Feed Efficiency Ratio (F.E.R) was higher in the HFHE group than other groups. 3. There was no significant difference in the weight gain of liver (100g/B.W.) among the groups. However, the weight gain of spleen (100g/B.W.) was gigher in the C group than other groups (HF and HFHE). 4. Total lipid, TC, TG, and phospholipid increased significantly in all groups for the first 4 wks. However, after 8 wks, pectin and cellulose supplementation groups decreased significantly. Therefore, we can conclude that the HF and the HFHE diet led to increase lipids concentration and the pectin and the cellulose treatments decreased lipids concentration in serum. However, the pectin treatment had greater effect than the cellulose treatment.

From the General Circulation Models(GCMs), it is known that the increases of concentrations of greenhouse gases will have significant implications for climate change in global and regional scales. The GCM has an uncertainty in analyzing the meteorologic processes at individual sites and so the 'downscaling' techniques are used to bridge the spatial and temporal resolution gaps between what, at present, climate modellers can provide and what impact assessors require. This paper describes a method for assessing local climate change impacts using a robust statistical downscaling technique. The method facilitates the rapid development of multiple, low-cost, single-site scenarios of daily surface weather variables under current and future regional climate forcing. The construction of climate change scenarios based on spatial regression(transfer function) downscaling and on the use of a local stochastic weather generator is described. Regression downscaling translates the GCM grid-box predictions with coarse resolution of climate change to site-specific values and the values were then used to perturb the parameters of the stochastic weather generator in order to simulate site-specific daily weather values. In this study, the global climate change scenarios are constructed using the YONU GCM control run and transient experiments.

GaN single crystals were grown by controlling of various processing parameters such as growing temperature, V/III ratio and growing rate. We optimized thickness of bulk GaN single crystal by analyzing defect of surface and inside of the GaN single crystal for application to high brightness and power device. 2-inch bulk GaN single crystals were grown by HVPE (hydride vapor phase epitaxy) on sapphire and their thickness was 0.3~7.0 mm. Crystal structure of the grown bulk GaN was analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction). The surface characteristics of the grown bulk GaN were observed by OM (optical microscope) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) with measuring EPD (etch pits density) of the GaN crystals.

Satellite imagery with high resolution of about one meter is used widely in commerce and government applications ranging from earth observation and monitoring to national digital mapping. Due to the expensiveness of IKONOS Pro and Precision products, it is attractive to use the low-cost IKONOS Geo product with vendor-provided rational polynomial coefficients (RPCs), to produce highly accurate mapping products. The imaging geometry of IKONOS high-resolution imagery is described by RFs instead of rigorous sensor models. This paper presents four different polynomial models, that are the offset model, the scale and offset model, the Affine model, and the 2nd-order polynomial model, defined respectively in object space and image space to improve the accuracies of the RF-derived ground coordinates. Not only the algorithm for RF-based ground coordinates but also the algorithm for accuracy improvement of RF-based ground coordinates are developed which is based on the four models, The experiment also evaluates the effect of different cartographic parameters such as the number, configuration, and accuracy of ground control points on the accuracy of geopositioning. As the result of a experimental application, the root mean square errors of three dimensional ground coordinates which are first derived by vendor-provided Rational Function models were averagely 8.035m in X, 10.020m in Y and 13.318m in Z direction. After applying polynomial correction algorithm, those errors were dramatically decreased to averagely 2.791m in X, 2.520m in Y and 1.441m in Z. That is, accuracy was greatly improved by 65% in planmetry and 89% in vertical direction.

This study aims to assess the slope stability variation of Jeonbuk drainage areas by RCM model outputs based on A1B climate change scenario and infinite slope stability model based on the previous research by Choi et al.(2013). For a large-scale slope stability analysis, we developed a GIS-based database regarding topographic, geologic and forestry parameters and also calculated daily maximum rainfall for the study period(1971~2100). Then, we assess slope stability variation of the 20 sub-catchments of Jeonbuk under the climate change scenario. The results show that the areal-average value of safety factor was estimated at 1.36(moderately stable) in spite of annual rainfall increase in the future. In addition, 7 sub-catchments became worse and 5 sub-catchments became better than the present period(1971~2000) in terms of safety factor in the future.

Seven post-tensioned lightweight concrete (LWC) beam specimens were tested under a symmetrical two-point top loading system. The parameters investigated were the amounts of mild longitudinal reinforcement and effective prestressing. The design compressive strength and dry density of the LWC tested were 30 MPa and 1,770 $kg/m^3$, respectively. Similar to post-tensioned normal weight concrete (NWC) beams, the crack propagation and stress increase of the unbonded tendons were significantly affected by the amounts of mild longitudinal reinforcement and effective prestressing. With the increase in the amounts of mild longitudinal reinforcement and effective prestressing, the serviceability and flexural capacity of the beams were enhanced whereas the stress increase in the unbonded tendons decreased. To control the crack width in post-tensioned LWC beams, a minimum amount of mild longitudinal reinforcement specified in ACI 318-08 provision is required. The flexural behavior of post-tensioned LWC beams and stress increase of the unbonded tendons could be rationally predicted by the proposed non-linear two-dimensional analysis. On the other hand, ACI 318-08 flexure provision was too conservative about the post-tensioned LWC beams.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of operational parameters such as rotation speed and vibrating milling time for the fabrication of photocatalytic $TiO_2$ thin film using aerosol deposition methods. $TiO_2$ powders produced in the range of 1,000-3,000 rpm of rotation speed of centrifugal separator are ineffective on the fabrication of $TiO_2$ thin film by aerosol deposition due to the problem of nozzle powder jam. $TiO_2$ powders controlled by vibrating milling had about 420 nm of average diameter after 2 hr of vibrating milling time. The result of XRD analysis indicated that $TiO_2$ powders had a anatase phase. Vibrating milling methods was considered to be an effective pre-treatment process for $TiO_2$ powder control. Consequently $TiO_2$ photocatalytic thin film with dispersion of anatase crystallites controled by vibrating milling was successfully fabricated by aerosol deposition. The permeation flux of $TiO_2$ photocatalytic thin film with the immobilized $TiO_2$ powder was higher than that of suspended $TiO_2$ powder. Therefore, $TiO_2$ photocatalytic thin film promises to be one of the effective methods for enhancing filtration performance for the treatment of organic pollutants.

Despite of the various merits of soil pavement, it has not been widely adapted because portland cement was conventionally used as soil stabilizer to improve the mechanical properties such strength parameters. Recently, natural soil stabilizer(NSS) were developed and virtually adopted to several case of soil pavement construction under control of heavy metal pollution compared to cement-used cases. However, the application of natural soil stabilizer is not settled yet, and empirical design have been widely adopted. In this study, therefore, the strength parameter of soil-NSS mixture was estimated by some triaxial compression tests, CU-test. From the tests, the relationship between curing period and strength parameter such as internal friction and effective cohesion was examined. As a result, effective cohesion of dredged clay and granite soil increased as curing time is increased. However, internal friction is almost same result in all soil type used in this study.

In cases of the loosely accumulated ground and soft clayey soils, the settlement criterion usually governs in evaluating the stability of structures. The settlement is also a dominant factor to control the design of granular compaction piles mainly applied to the reinforcement of foundation structures in soft ground. In the previous studies, settlement behaviors of granular compaction piles have generally been analyzed with an evaluation of the settlement reduction factor based on the load-sharing ratio and the replacement ratio. In this approach, however, since the reinforced ground with granular compaction piles is simplified as the composite ground, only the difference of a relative vertical strength between piles and soils is taken into account without reflecting lateral behaviors of granular compaction piles. In the present study, the method of estimating the settlement of granular compaction piles is proposed by synthetically considering a vertical strength of the ground, lateral behaviors of granular compaction piles, the strength of pile materials, a pile diameter, and an installation distance of the pile. Further, far the verification of a validity of the proposed method, predicted settlements are compared with results from previous studies. In addition, parametric studies are performed together with detailed analyses of relevant design parameters.
