Image processing technique in the outdoor environment is very sensitive, and it tends to lose a lot of accuracy when it rapidly changes by outdoor environment. Therefore, in order to calculate accurate traffic information using the traffic monitoring system, we must resolve removing shadow in transition time, Distortion by the vehicle headlights at night, noise of rain, snow, and fog, and occlusion. In the research, we developed a system to calibrate the amount of traffic, speed, and time occupancy by using image processing technique in a variety of outdoor environments change. This system were tested under outdoor environments at the Gonjiam test site, which is managed by Korea Institute of Construction Technology (www.kict.re.kr) for testing performance. We evaluated the performance of traffic information, volume counts, speed, and occupancy time, with 4 lanes (2 lanes are upstream and the rests are downstream) from the 16th to 18th December, 2008. The evaluation method performed as based on the standard data is a radar detection compared to calculated data using image processing technique. The System evaluation results showed that the amount of traffic, speed, and time occupancy in period (day, night, sunrise, sunset) are approximately 92-97% accuracy when these data compared to the standard data.

The application of the pervaporation process in biotechnology is rapidly growing. A two stage pervaporation process can be applied to the downstream processing of ethanol fermentation. In this paper, the second stage process in which the water-ethanol composition was 50:50 wt.% was investigated in more detail by using Nylon 4 and its blended membranes containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). Nylon 4 membranes were tested for compositions at 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$. Nylon 4 membranes had a separation factor of 4.18 with a permeability of $0.69kg/m^2hr$ at water-ethanol composition of 50:50 wt.%, while nylon 4-PVA blended membranes crosslinked by 5 Mrad gamma-ray irradiation showed a higher separation factor of 10.56 with permeability $0.55kg/m^2hr$ at the same composition. Nylon 4 also showed a high separation factor 27.8 at the ethanol-water azeotropic composition among the homopolymer membranes.

Because EPON access network shares a medium and aggregates the traffic from EPON subscribers, scheduling media access control on EPON bandwidth allocation is very important. Furthermore DBA mechanism of EPON based on TDMA is out of specification and up to implementation. This paper deals with a DBA method to guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic on the base of best-effort service and delay priority queue management. The proposed method performs virtual scheduling algorithm for the integrated traffic. It uses the same MAC messages and tries to guarantee the QoS of higher priority traffic first with a simple DBA architecture. We evaluate the algorithm for traffic delay according to polling interval and traffic load of upstream and downstream. The results show that the proposed method can guarantee the QoS of the delay sensitive traffic with priority of the service classes.

The aim of this investigation was study on the non-evaporation diesel spray characteristics injected through a common-rail diesel injector under various ambient pressure. The diesel spray was investigated with observation of macroscopic characteristics such as spray tip penetration and spray cone angle by the shadowgraph and the image processing method. The numerical study was conducted using a computational fluid dynamics code, AVL-FIRE. The breakup models used were WAVE model and standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was applied. The numerical study used input data which spray cone angle and fuel injection rate was achieved by Zeuch's method. Comparison with experimental result such as spray tip penetration was good agreement. Distribution of droplet diameter were conducted on four planes where the axial distances were 5, 15, 39 and 49mm respectively downstream from the orifice exit.

우리의 언어생활을 비추어 볼 때 한자어 정보처리는 많은 연구가 이루어야 함에도 불구하고 고유어 언구에 비해 소흘해 다루어져 왔다. 본 연구는 단일 한자어를 구성하는 각 음절이 단어의 재인에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 점화과제를 통하여 알아보았다. 본 실험은 기존의 한자어 연구에 빈도특성과 고유어와 외래어의 글자특성까지 고려하여 종합적으로 살펴보았다. 먼저 실험1의 어휘판단관제에서는 고유어와 한자어의 양상이 비슷하며 외래어는 다른 처리를 하는 것으로 드러났다. 고유어와 한자어는 빈도에 따라 영향을 받지만 외래어는 빈도의 영향에 변함없이 일정하게 나타났다. 이런 결과는 한국인은 고유어와 한자어를 동일한 양상으로 처리하며 이런 이유는 외래어의 한국어와는 다른 음운규칙이나 음절규칙의 영향으로 해석할 수 있겠다. 실험 2에서는 한자어 형태소와 의미적으로 유사한 조건(강도-강력)과 철자적 유사 조건(강도-강변), 고유어 유사 조건(강도-강정)조건을 점화과제를 이용하여 어휘판단을 하게 하였다. 실험 결과 모든 조건이 통제조건에 비하여 빠르게 나왔다. 그리고 의미적 유사 조건이 촉진적 점화효과를 일으키고, 철자적 유사조건은 억제 효과를 일으켰으며 고유어는 특이하게도 판단시간이 빠르게 나와 한자어와는 다른 처리과정이 있음을 보여주고 있다. 이런 결과는 지연조건에서도 동일하게 일어나고 있다. 이런 결과는 한자어는 어휘접근 이후에도 실험의 과제 특성상 한자어 형태소는 단어 수준 아래 위치하기는 힘든 반면, 고유어는 단어 수준 아래에 존재한다고 할 수 있다. 결국 한자어와 고유어는 기본적으로 외래어와 다른 처리를 보이면 한자어와 고유어 내에서도 한자어는 단어접근 전에 의미접근의 단계를 거쳐야 하지만 고유어는 각 음절이 형태소가 아니기 때문에 바로 어휘에 접근하는 것이라고 할 수 있겠다.ulic geometry and sediment transport has been applied to: (1) gravel-bed transport measurements in a cobble-bed stream at Little Granite Creek, Wyoming; (2) sand and gravel transport by size fraction in the sharp meander bends of Fall River, Colorado; (3) changes in sand dune geometry and resistance to flow during major floods of the Rhine River in the Netherlands; (4) changes in hydraulic geometry of the Rio Grande downstream of Cochiti Dam, New Mexico; and (5) analysis of the influence of water temperature and the Coriolis force on flow velocity and sediment transport of the Lower Mississippi River in Louisiana.

This study aims to identify the characteristics of organic matter and pollutant sources using water quality and stable isotope ratios (δ¹⁵N, δ¹³C) of the two inflow tributaries (Gulpo (GP) and Anyang (AY) streams). Water samples were analyzed in June and September 2018, and the results showed that the concentrations of nutrients, such as TN and NO₃-N, were increased at GP4, which is located at the downstream of sewage treatment facilities(STFs). TOC and TN ratios showed a strong positive correlation (R² = 0.77, p<0.01) at all points except for GP4. The results of GP's stable isotope ratio analysis do not appear to be a constant cluster compared to AY because GPs with large amounts of pollutants from the industry (metal processing companies, etc.) have less tributary, shorter waterway and significantly different external sources. This could be attributed to different sources of external inflow despite its smaller number of tributaries and shorter waterways than AY. In the first half of the year, the δ¹⁵5N of GP4 was affected by discharge of STFs, while AY3 seemed to have an influence of tributary than the discharge of STFs. Consequently, using water quality, stable isotope ratio and C/N, the sources of contamination in two streams with different contaminants were identified and origin was estimated.

Co-production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) was suggested as an innovative strategy to overcome several limitations occurring in the single production of 3-HP from glycerol. In this study, two new isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, which produce less lipopolysaccharide (LPS) thus considered less pathogenic than K. pneumoniae DSM 2026, were compared and evaluated for their potential for the co-production of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO. The newly isolated strains showed significantly faster sedimentation rate than DSM, which should be beneficial for downstream processing. Analysis of genome sequences of the isolates confirmed the presence of all genes necessary for glycerol assimilation, 1,3-PDO production and biosynthesis of coenzyme $B_{12}$. Co-production yield was highest under anaerobic condition while cell growth was highest under aerobic condition. Both strains showed similarly good performance for the co-production although J2B gave the slightly higher co-production yield of 0.80 mol/mol than GSC021 (0.75 mol/mol). The evaluation of the newly developed strains presented here should be useful in designing similar evaluation experiments for other microorganisms.

This study was carried out to understand the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by pyrophyllite (so-called Napseok)-rainwater interaction (weathering), dispersion patterns of heavy metals, and patterns of mixing with non-polluted water in the Tongnae pyrophyllite mine. Based on the mass balance and reaction path modeling, using both the geochemistry of water and occurrence of the secondary minerals (weathering products), the geochemical evolution of AMD was simulated by computer code of SOLVEQ and CHILLER. It shows that the pH of stream water is from 6.2 to 7.3 upstream of the Tongnae mine. Close to the mine, the pH decreases to 2. Despite being diluted with non-polluted tributaries, the acidity of mine drainage water maintains as far as downstream. The results of modeling of water-rock interaction show that the activity of hydrogen ion increases (pH decreases), the goncentration of ${HCO_3}^-$ decreases associated with increasing $H^+$ activity, as the reaction is processing. The concentration of ${SO_4}^{2-}$first increases minutely, but later increases rapidly as pH drops below 4.3. The concentrations of cations and heavy metals are controlled by the dissolution of reactants and re-dissolution of derived species (weathering products) according to the pH. The continuous adding of reactive minerals, namely the progressively larger degrees of water-rock interaction, causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; goethite, then Mn-oxides, then boehmite, then kaolinite, then Ca-nontronite, then Mgnontronite, and finally chalcedony. The results of reaction path modeling agree well with the field data, and offer useful information on the geochemical evolution of AMD. The results of reaction path modeling on the formation of AMD offer useful information for the estimation and the appraisal of pollution caused by water-rock interaction as geological environments. And also, the ones can be used as data for the choice of appropriate remediation technique for AMD.

This study evaluated the microbial conversion of coconut oil waste, a major agro-residue in tropical countries, into single cell oil (SCO) feedstock for biodiesel production. Copra cake was used as a low-cost renewable substrate without any prior chemical or enzymatic pretreatment for submerged growth of an oleaginous tropical mangrove fungus, Aspergillus terreus IBB M1. The SCO extracted from fermented biomass was converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by transesterification and evaluated on the basis of fatty acid profiles and key fuel properties for biodiesel. The fungus produced a biomass (8.2 g/l) yielding 257 mg/g copra cake SCO with ~98% FAMEs. The FAMEs were mainly composed of saturated methyl esters (61.2%) of medium-chain fatty acids (C12-C18) with methyl oleate (C18:1; 16.57%) and methyl linoleate (C18:2; 19.97%) making up the unsaturated content. A higher content of both saturated FAMEs and methyl oleate along with the absence of polyunsaturated FAMEs with ≥4 double bonds is expected to impart good fuel quality. This was evident from the predicted and experimentally determined key fuel properties of FAMEs (density, kinematic viscosity, iodine value, acid number, cetane number), which were in accordance with the international (ASTM D6751, EN 14214) and national (IS 15607) biodiesel standards, suggesting their suitability as a biodiesel fuel. The low cost, renewable nature, and easy availability of copra cake, its conversion into SCO without any thermochemical pretreatment, and pelleted fungal growth facilitating easier downstream processing by simple filtration make this process cost effective and environmentally favorable.

In this paper, we design the function of ULSLE(Upper Layer Shared LAN Emulation) to provide both the efficient LAN service and compatibility with 802.1D bridge in Hybrid two-stage AWG based WDM-PON. The ULSLE layer lies above MAC control layer in order to provide a mean to interface WDM-PON and 802.1D bridge. It also performs LAN emulation based on PON-Tag which is only used to decide both the transmission mode and the destination of frames transmitted from ONUs. That is, the PON-Tag is not used for downstream frames but destination address field in original frame instead. This decreases the processing overhead and complexity caused by PON-Tag at OLT and ONU. The verification of designed ULSLE is performed according to the specific scenarios based on transmission mode and destination using OPNET.
