  • The effect of poor feather cover on feed intake and production was examined in two commercial strains of layers (tinted and brown egg) over 91-98 weeks of age. Hens were housed at four per cage ($600cm^2/bird$) in a commercial layer shed which ranged in temperature from 13.2 to $16.8^{\circ}C$. At the start of the experiment 50% of the birds were classified as having poor feather cover. Feather score was highly correlated with feed intake. Poor feather cover on the neck and the back were the best indicators of hens with high feed intake. Feed intake of hens with poor feather cover was 16% higher (p<0.05) than hens with good feather cover. Hens with good feather cover produced more eggs (p<0.05) early in the trial and had a higher (p<0.05) liveweight, but there was no significant differences in egg weight. Feed per dozen eggs was superior (p<0.05) in hens with good feather cover. Feather cover on the back and vent were the best indicators of overall feather score, while the tail, base of tail and vent were the body parts most affected in birds with poor feather cover.

  • This study was carried out to classify forest communities and to aggregate forest cover types for the complex and diversified natural forest areas of Hwangaksan, Bakseoksan, Deogyusan, and Jirisan in southern region of Baekdudaegan Mountains. The vegetation data were collected by point-centered quarter sampling method. Eight hundred fifty one sample points were subjected to cluster analysis to classify 18 forest communities, which were aggregated into 7 representative forest cover types on the basis of community similarity from composition of canopy species. They were mixed mesophytic forest cover type, the others deciduous forest cover type, Quercus variabilis-Quercus serrata cover type, Quercus mongolica cover type, Pinus densiflora cover type, Carpinus laxiflora cover type, and Abies koreana cover type. The Quercus mongolica cover type was most widely distributed in the study areas, and this cover type tended to occur in the place of higher altitude as latitude was getting lower. Mixed mesophytic forest and the others deciduous forest cover type were commonly distributed in the areas of valley, on the other hand, Quercus mongolica cover type and Pinus densiflora cover type tended to be distributed in the areas of ridge.

  • The disk cover is installed to protect brake disk and calliper and it's removed right before delivering to customers. The temperature of disk cover was measured driving test vehicles(2000cc, diesel) in this study. The highest temperature measured for the driving test(120km/h-braking(0.3G)-stop-120km/h-braking(0.5G)-stop) was $260{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ in the upper part of the disk cover and the temperature varied considerably around the disk cover. It can be inferred from this temperature distribution around the cover that the major heat transfer from hot disk to cover was through convection. In other words, the hot air generated by braking friction moved up to the upper part of the disk cover. And only the upper area of the disk cover was melted down during this driving test. The thickness of disk cover was increased to 1.0mm from 0.7mm and 1 paper of masking tape was pasted in the upper region of the disk cover. Then the cover endured the heated air formed by braking friction during the driving test.

  • Studies regarding the application of the impervious cover rate as a watershed management index have increased in number due to concerns over watershed management. The impervious cover rate is suggested as an index that can manage not only water quality but also water volume and the water ecosystem. This study intends to prove its applicability through the interconnection of the impervious cover rate and the water environment in Korea. Analysis of a selected watershed with reference to impervious cover rates showed that a watershed with an impervious cover rate of over 30% had a direct runoff in excess of 60% of precipitation, while a watershed with an impervious cover rate of 7% had a direct runoff of 39%. Watersheds with higher impervious cover rates were also found to have higher BOD, though different watersheds showed slightly different aspects in connection with BOD. Monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates showed that species inhabiting clean water appear more frequently in areas with lower impervious cover rates than areas with higher impervious cover rates, and in mainstream areas, relatively larger numbers of species appeared in areas with lower impervious cover rates. This suggests that impervious cover rates can be appropriately used as an index for watershed management, as it effectively represents changes to the water environment.

  • Distributed Denial of Service(D-DoS) 공격을 차단하기 위해서는 AS(Autonomous System) 경계 라우터에 필터를 설치하는 것이 필요하다. 필터가 설치되는 라우터의 개수를 최소로 하는 Vertex Cover(VC)--모든 edge를 커버하는 Vertex의 모임--을 찾아내는 방법은 NP-complete 문제가 된다. 따라서 Vertex Cover(VC) 근사기법 중에서 Greedy 알고리즘과 Approximated VC 알고리즘에 대해 Vertex Cover(VC)을 찾아내는 방법을 적용하여 실험하였다. Vertex Cover(VC)를 찾을 경우 Worst case에서 이론상 VC수의 최대 2배의 Vertex Cover(VC)를 찾아낼 수 있는 Approximated VC 알고리즘의 장점과 적은 수의 Vertex Cover(VC)로 모든 edge를 커버할 수 있는 Greedy 알고리즘[7]의 장점을 모두 갖춘 Vertex Cover(VC) 근사 기법을 구현하였다. NS-2를 이용한 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 Greedy 알고리즘보다 Vertex Cover를 찾아가는 단계 수에 따른 커버되는 층 노드 수를 비교하였을 때. 전체 노드의 75%를 커버하는데 24번의 단계가 필요하여 Greedy 알고리즘의 40개 보다 40%의 단계의 수적인 감소가 일어났으며 전체노드의 90%를 커버하는데 38%의 단계 개수의 감소가 일어났다. 실험으로 제안된 알고리즘이 Vertex Cover(VC) 톨 찾아가는 단계 측면에서 좀더 빠르게 AS 경계 라우터에 필터를 설치하여 D-DoS에 효율적으로 대처해 나갈 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

  • The aerodynamic features of a pantograph of a high speed train are analyzed according to shapes of pantograph covers. For this purpose, two types of pantograph covers were selected: a wedge type cover and a cone type cover. Then, the change of the aerodynamic forces of the pantograph affected by each type of the pantograph cover was computed. These results were compared with the original lift force of the pantograph. From the results, the cone type cover changes the flow direction from side to side compared with the wedge type cover. Consequently, it is confirmed that the effect of the wedge type cover on the lift force of pantograph is smaller than that of the cone type cover.

  • There are many global/continental or large area land cover mapping projects because land cover is one of key parameters in environmental studies. Though ground truth collection is a important and difficult task in land cover mapping, it is usually performed independently in each project without any cooperation between them. This is the background of the development of Global Land Cover Ground Truth (GLCGT) database by the cooperation of many projects and researchers. The developed GLCGT database will be used freely by any researcher. This cooperative and common development of GLCGT database will realize reliable and continuously improved land cover ground truth data. It also eliminates duplicated efforts of ground truth collection among projects.

  • The locking load of a conventional manhole depends on the weight of its cover. Locking-type manhole structures with a special locking mechanism were recently developed to prevent accidents such as stolen cover, away cover from a frame. The weight of the manhole structure can be reduced under structural safety because the locking force of a locking-type manhole is greater than the weight of the cover. A light-weight manhole cover is developed in this study by using a finite element stress analysis and the design of experiments. Static stress analysis and fracture experiments are also conducted to analyze the states of the initial product. The optimum light-weight manhole cover considering manufacturing molds is developed and tested. Consequently, the weight was found to reduce by 16%. In addition, the fracture load increased by 38%.

  • An effective and new method of reducing the noise of a HDD by structural modification of cover was investigated in this study. The correlation between the noise characteristics of the HDD and the vibration characteristics of the cover, which is the main source of the HDD noise, is found from experiments. A theoretical analysis is performed to find the modification method of the cover, and this modification method is applied the real cover of the HDD. The modification reduces the vibration of the cover transferred from driving motor. The effect of the modification is verified through noise tests.

  • The shape of a streamflow hydrograph is very much controlled by the area and depth of snow cover in mountain area. The purpose of this study is to suggest extraction methods for snow cover area and depth using NOAA/AVHRR images in Soyanggang watershed. Snow cover area maps ware derived form channel 1, 3, 4 images of NOAA/AVHRR based on threshold value. In order to extract snow cover depth, snow cover area maps were overlaid daily snow depth data form 7 meteorological observation stations. Snow cover area and depth was mapped for period of Dec. 2002 and Mar. 2003. For evaluating snowmelt changes, depletion curve was created using daily snow cover area in the same period. It is necessary to compare these results with observed data and check the applicability of the suggested method in snowmelt simulation.
