Precision approach and landing of aircraft in a remote landing zone autonomously present several challenges. Firstly, the exact location, orientation and elevation of the landing zone are not always known; secondly, the accuracy of the navigation solution is not always sufficient for this type of precision maneuver if there is no DGPS availability within close proximity. This paper explores an alternative approach for estimating the navigation parameters of the aircraft to the landing area using only time-differenced GPS carrier phase measurement and range measurements from a vision system. Distinct ground landmarks are marked before the landing zone. The positions of these landmarks are extracted from the vision system then the ranges relative to these locations are used as measurements for the extended Kalman filter (EKF) in addition to the precise time-differenced GPS carrier phase measurements. The performance of this navigation algorithm is demonstrated using simulation.

The emergence of new nanoscale technologies has imposed significant challenges to designing reliable electronic systems in radiation environments. A few types of radiation like Total Ionizing Dose (TID) can cause permanent damages on such nanoscale electronic devices, and current state-of-the-art technologies to tackle TID make use of expensive radiation-hardened devices. This paper focuses on a novel and different approach: using machine learning algorithms on consumer electronic level Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to tackle TID effects and monitor them to replace before they stop working. This condition has a research challenge to anticipate when the board results in a total failure due to TID effects. We observed internal measurements of FPGA boards under gamma radiation and used three different anomaly detection machine learning (ML) algorithms to detect anomalies in the sensor measurements in a gamma-radiated environment. The statistical results show a highly significant relationship between the gamma radiation exposure levels and the board measurements. Moreover, our anomaly detection results have shown that a One-Class SVM with Radial Basis Function Kernel has an average recall score of 0.95. Also, all anomalies can be detected before the boards are entirely inoperative, i.e. voltages drop to zero and confirmed with a sanity check.

A statistical analysis for detecting deviations from normal magnetic field intensities, caused by the introduction of magnetite materials into man-made fissures and cracks at subsurface levels is presented. For detecting such deviations it turns out the comparison of two different field measurements measured at two different sites far from each other is more efficient than the study of the only measurement by the univariate and bivariate time series analysis.

A field emission projection microscope was constructed to investigate the atomic and chemical-bonding structure of molecules using electron in-line holography. Fringes of carbon nanotube images were found to be interferograms equivalent to those created by the electron biprism in conventional electron microscopy. By exploiting carbon nanotubes as the filament of the electron biprism, we measured the transverse coherence length of the electron beam from tungsten field emitters. The measurements revealed that a partially coherent electron-beam was emitted from a finite area.

Field measurements were conducted to analysis dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast. Three bridges which have 9m, 12m, 18m span length in Kyoung-Bu and Ho-Nam Line were selected for test. According to the each bridge, dynamic vertical deflections and vertical and horizontal accelerations were measured. Natural frequencies, vertical deflections and accelerations obtained from field tests were compared with the limit value specified in the UC, Japanese and Korean railway bridge specification.

In this paper, an equivalent circuit model for near-field noise emission is proposed to implement a multimedia operation-monitoring system for mobile devices. The proposed model includes a magnetic field probe that captures noise emissions from multimedia components, and a transfer function for near-field noise coupling from a transmission line source to a magnetic field probe. The proposed model was empirically verified with transfer function measurements of near-field noise emissions from 10 kHz to 500 MHz. With the proposed model, a magnetic field probe was optimally designed for noise measurement on a camera module and an audio codec in a mobile device. It was demonstrated that the probe successfully captured the near-field noise emissions, depending on the operating conditions of the multimedia components, with enhanced sensitivity from a conventional reference probe.

We fabricated the silicon nanodots using the low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique to investigate their electron field emission characteristics. Atomic force microscope measurements performed for the silicon nanodot samples having various process parameters, such as, deposition time and deposition pressure, revealed that the silicon nanodots with an average size of 20 nm, height of 5 nm, and density of $1.3\;{\times}\;10^{11}\;cm^{-2}$ were easily formed. Electron field emission measurements were performed with the silicon nanodot layer as the cathode electrode. The current-voltage curves revealed that the threshold electric field was as low as $8.3\;V/{\mu}m$ and the field enhancement factor reached as large as 698, which is compatible with the silicon cathode tips fabricated by other techniques. These electron field emission results point to the possibility of using a silicon-based light source for display devices.

Laser Thomson scattering measurements of electrom temperature and density in a neutral loop discharge (NLD) plasma were performed in order to reveal the electron behavior around the neutral loop (NL). The experimental results were examined by using a simulation model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field with spatial decay of the RF electric field, and the limitation of the spatial extent of the electron motion and collision effect. From the experiments and modeling of the electron behavior, it was found that NLD plasma posses the electron temeprature $T_{e}$ and density ne peaks around the NL is essential for the formation of plasma. Also, the optimum condition of plasma production could be simply estimated by the calculation of $U_{av}$ and $F_{0}$././.

The vibration induced by high speed train running on rail is dealt with as an environmental problem. The train induced vibration is characterized by moving loads of specific frequency contents and soil conditions. In fact various sources are involved the wheal distance, number of cars, speed of operation, drift of rails, structural form vibration, etc. In this paper the characteristics of transferring vibration induced by the operational high-speed train is discussed. And the field measurements was conducted at region from Chungnam Yungi So-jung-myan to Chungbuk Chungwon hyun-do-myun. In the future is would be proposed the fundamental data for establishment of the countermeasure for vibrational reduction of high speed train using the results of the field measurements and quantitative prediction of the vibration level

The soil nailing was generally using method in practical business, in application of the soil nailing, the analysis was primarily used to Beam-Colum Method, Finite Element Method and Limit Equilibrium Method. Beam-Colum Method and Finite Element Method were able to examine transformation but widely using Limit Equilibrium Method wasn't able to examine transformation and displacement Therefore, this study was focused on presenting stability in comparison with former study-results about horizontal displacement of the soil nailing retaining-walls satisfing a criterion safety factor of Limit Equilibrium. There were performing comparison field measurements and former study-results in first step.
