Fossil legumes of Albizia miokalkora Hu et Chaney (Mimosoideae) were found in the Miocene Duho Formation of the Yeonil Group distributed along the coast of Yeonil Bay in the Pohang area. The legume is flat and long and has 5-7 rounded seeds. The legumes of Albizia miokalkora are rare in the Cenozoic floras of the world and only known to Middle Miocene of East Asia. The fossil Albizia may use one of the important taxa to construct the biogeographic history of East Asia. This discovery is the first record of Albizia from the Neogene strata of Korea.

This Paper presents an application of a on-line self-organizing fuzzy logic controller to a boiler system of fossil-power plant. A boiler-turbine system is described as a MIMO nonlinear system in this paper. Then, three single loop fuzzy logic controllers are designed independently. The control rules and the membership functions of proposed fuzzy logic control system are generated automatically without using plant model. The simulation shows successful results for wide range operation of boiler system of fossil-power plant.

Although there is progress in developing green sectors in North America and East Asia, the key challenge facing the expansion of economy-wide green innovation and structural change in these regions is the absence of relevant policy follow-up to the green stimulus enacted during the Great Recession. The boost to green sectors provided by such measures is waning quickly, given that much of the green stimulus focused on energy efficiency. The biggest obstacles to sustaining green growth in North America and East Asiaare major market disincentives, especially the under-pricing of fossil fuels and market failures that inhibit green innovation. A three-part strategy to overcome these obstacles would involve: first, removing fossil fuel subsidies; second, employing market-based instruments to further reduce the social costs of fossil fuel use; and third, allocating any resulting revenue to public support for green innovation and investments. Such a strategy would ensure that green growth is not about promoting niche green sectors but instigating economy-wide innovation and structural transformation in North America and East Asia.

Review of the global change in various energy usages and resulting environmental impacts were made in terms of population increase, economic development and energy consumption. Greater use of fossil fuels in past couple of centuries give rise to acid rain and gradual climate changes mainly due to Green House inducing gases emissions from fossil fuel combustion. In view of the forthcoming Kyoto conference in December, various alternative options were assessed. To cope with rapidly developing robust Korean economy, the alternative energy options for the sustainable development in 21st Century would be the wider use of Nuclear Energy in parallel with constrained use of fossil fuel and renewable energy development. However there are many hurdles to overcome. One of the most important element is to improve public acceptability of those alternatives. Since public acceptance depend heavily upon individual perception on specific energy technology applications, the basic energy technologies education from primary up to high school education and the related curriculum organization is important. The suggested improvement in education for Nuclear Energy Application was made on the basis of advanced industrial countries with substantial Nuclear Energy Application programs.

This paper presents numerical and experimental results of modal parameter identification in a generator stator frame for 500 MW fossil power plants. A commercial finite element analysis S/W was employed for modal analysis. The generator is excited by alternating electromagnetic forces, mainly of 120 Hz in 60 Hz machines, due to magnetic field and electric current in windings. It is necessary to verify that the stator frame has adequate frequency margin from the excitation frequency to avoid possible resonance when operating. Thus, frequency margin required for the stator frame is established using the numerical and experimental results. The results show that the stator frame meets the frequency-margin requirements. Also, results of modal analysis for design modification in order to reduce weights of the stator frame without deteriorating vibration characteristics are presented.

From wood to coal and petroleum, mankind has used various fuel. Since using such fuel, mankind has developed power source of mechanism. We obtain numerous power from caloric force. Present energy supply is based on the fossil fuel. Fossil fuel has high energy density and is convenient for transportation and storage. Human being prepared countermeasure of energy economy, high energy efficiency and substitution energy for limits of fossil fuel. High energy efficiency among them is very important. This research will improve total output by physical exergy recovery of $LH_2$-fuel cell system.

The present carbon-based energy system will not last long due to its environmental and economical drawbacks. Hydrogen energy attracts more attention recently and seems to have large ripple effect on economy providing its technical, environmental and economical problems are solved. This paper analyses the situation changed from fossil to non-fossil energy system and the R&D policies of advanced countries by reviewing the world energy status and the energy policy of foreign countries. Finally, the R&D strategy of hydrogen energy technology was developed through analyzing the present states of energy research policy and programs of major countries.

The use of modern pollen spectra for comparative interpretation of fossil pollen sequence requires the ability to distinguish different vegetation types by their pollen spectra, which may show similarities to fossil assemblages. Tertiary marine and non-marine sediments, the Yeonil Group, of the Yeonil area, Korea, was found thirty-two palynomorphic genera. One of the characteristic features of Yeonil geo-flora is predominance of coniferous trees over shrubs, herbs, and ferns. Miocene deposits of Yeonl area, Korea, ae differentiated with five zones. According to the pollen diagram it can be inferred the climate of the Tertiary Miocene of the Yeonil area, Korea.

Maximum power consumption was up to 6,228kW in the summer of 2007 due to steady development of industry as well as increased demand of individual. Twenty fossil-Fired Thermal Power Plant for 500MW were underconstructed at present. KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute) manage 'Development of Advanced Fossil-Fired Thermal Power Generation System' project to construct high efficient power plant of 1000MW capacity for preparing increased demand of power. Design of control logic and data sampling were explained and high efficient control logic was simulated in detail in 'The Development of Next Generation Power Plant Instrument and Control System'(sub-project of 'Development of Advanced Fossil-Fired Thermal Power Generation System' project).

The Simulation of Boiler System for Hadong Fossil power plant has been made by Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KERRI) in an attempt to develop Windown NT based full scope replica simulator for Hadong Fossil power plant, 500MWe once-through boiler. In the project KERRI developed Once Through, Super Critical type Boiler System, the core part of the Simulation and integrated the system with other process systems such as BOP System, and AUX System. This paper is to introduce the basic concept of the simulation for the Boiler System. It will also introduce PRO-TRAX System, for used as a modeling tool.
