As a railway is receiving attention as an environment-friendly transportation mode, many high speed, inter-city and urban railway are constructed and remodeled in the world. With this trend, railway RAMS was included in the international standard IEC 62278 in 2002. RAMS activity in domestic market is also increased with this international trend. However, IEC 62278 does not describe the methodology of substantial contents like how reliability target is set although it can be used as an overall guideline when RAMS requirements are included in the purchase specification. That is because RAMS requirements should be set with the specific railway condition. It is required to fully understand the meaning of railway RAMS parameters and apply those correspond to the specific railway system and environment condition especially when a quantitative RAMS requirement is set. In this study, the meaning and characteristics of RAMS parameters applicable to the development of quantitative RAMS requirement of rolling stock is described. And the basic concept of RAMS and the definition of failure that IEC 62278 describes is modified and suggested in order to make more suitable to the development of quantitative RAMS requirement.

Global warming has become one of the most important social responsibilities. After Kyoto protocol for greenhouse gas reduction by climatic change convention came into effect, developed countries are presenting various policies to reduce greenhouse gas that is produced in transport field. One of those policies is modal shift that change from road freight to sea, inland waterway and railway transportation that is eco-friendly. Because increase of road freight brings about road congestion and accident, logistics cost, air pollution and green house gases. Railways are superior to all other modes of transport in mass transportability, high speed, timeliness, safety and environmental-friendliness, but the railway industry has been pushed behind in competition. In developed country's government actively promoted relevant legislation, policies, and countermeasures known as modal shift policies to shift freight transport from road to large volume mode such as railway and ship. In this paper, we discuss the current situation in modal shift, compare it with cases in other countries EU and Japan, identify problems in Korea, and propose the following ways to enhance competitiveness of rail freight.

Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI- MS/MS) provides a high-speed method to screen a large number of samples for small molecules with specific properties. In this study, UPLC-ESI-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was employed to screen urinary phospholipid (PL) content for biomarkers of prostate cancer. From lists of urinary PLs structurally identified using nanoflow LC-ESI-MS/MS, 52 PL species were selected for quantitative analysis in urine samples between 22 cancer-free urologic patients as controls and 45 prostate cancer patients. Statistical treatment of data by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded 14 PL species that differed significantly in relative concentrations (area under curve (AUC) > 0.8) between the two groups. Among PLs present at higher levels in prostate cancer urine, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and phosphatidylinositols (PIs) constituted the major head group PLs (3 PCs and 7 PIs). For technical reasons, PL species of low abundance may be underrepresented in data from UPLC-ESI-MS/MS performed in MRM mode. However, the proposed method enables the rapid screening of large numbers of plasma or urine samples in the search for biomarkers of human disease.

본 논문에서 OFDM 시스템의 성능분석을 Matlab 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 적응 OFDM 시스템에 채널 추정 알고리즘을 적용하고 멀티미디어 무선통신 다중경로 페이딩 채널환경에서 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 추정된 결과를 이용하여 적응 등화기를 적용한 적응 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 BER을 통하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 채널상태에 따라 가변을 취하는 적응변조 OFDM 시스템의 경우 일반적인 시스템에 비해 (BER=$10^{-1}$)를 기준으로 약 7dB 성능의 이득이 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 고속 멀티미디어 무선통신 채널환경에서 효율적인 전송을 위해 제안한 적응 시스템이 효율적임을 확인 하였다.

A coupled model system for Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) was studied. Using a mesoscale meteorological model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, global-scale data were downscaled to the inner nested grid scale (typically a few kilometers), and then through the coupling Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) mode, FLUENT. High-resolution results (50 m in the horizontal direction; 10 m in the vertical direction below 150 m) of the wind speed distribution data and ultimately refined wind farm information, were obtained. The refined WRF/FLUENT system was then applied to assess the wind resource over complex terrain in the northern Poyang Lake region. The results showed that the approach is viable for the assessment of wind energy.

Downbursts are of great harm to transmission lines and many towers can even be destroyed. The downburst wind field model by Chen and Letchford was applied, and the wind loads of two typical transmission towers in inland areas and littoral areas were calculated separately. Spatial finite element models of the transmission towers were established by elastic beam and link elements. The wind loads as well as the dead loads of conductors and insulators were simplified and applied on the suspension points by concentrated form. Structural analysis on two typical transmission towers under normal wind and downburst was completed. The bearing characteristics and the failure modes of the transmission towers under downburst were determined. The failure state of tower members can be judged by the calculated stress ratios. It shows that stress states of the tower members were mainly controlled by 45 degree wind load. For the inland areas with low deign wind velocity, though the structural height is not in the highest wind velocity zone of downburst, the wind load under downburst is much higher than that under normal wind. The main members above the transverse separator of the legs will be firstly destroyed. For the littoral areas with high deign wind velocity, the wind load under downburst is lower than under normal wind. Transmission towers are not controlled by the wind loads from downbursts in design process.

This paper presents a clock and data recovery circuit that supports dual data rates of 5.4 Gbps and 3.24 Gbps for DisplayPort v1.2 sink device. A quarter-rate linear phase detector (PD) is used in order to mitigate high speed circuit design effort. The proposed linear PD results in better jitter performance by increasing up and down pulse widths of the PD and removes dead-zone problem of charge pump circuit. A voltage-controlled oscillator is designed with a 'Mode' switching control for frequency selection. The measured RMS jitter of recovered clock signal is 2.92 ps, and the peak-to-peak jitter is 24.89 ps under $2^{31}-1$ bit-long pseudo-random bit sequence at the bitrate of 5.4 Gbps. The chip area is 1.0 mm${\times}$1.3 mm, and the power consumption is 117 mW from a 1.8 V supply using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process.

The viscosity of a ceramic slurry depends on the slurry concentration, particle shape and size, hydrodynamic interactions, temperature, shear rate, pre-treatment condition and the method of measurement with the selected equipment. Representative ceramic slurries with low to high viscosity levels are selected from colloidal silica, barium titanate slurry and glass frit paste. Rotational rheometers and vibrational viscometers are used to compare the measured viscosity for various ceramic slurries. The rotational rheometer measured the viscosity according to the change of the shear rate or the rotational speed. On the other hand, the vibrational viscometer measured one point of the viscosity in a fixed vibrational mode. The rotational rheometer allows the measurement of the viscosity of a ceramic paste with a viscosity higher than 100,000 cP, while the vibrational viscometer provides an easy and quick method to measure the viscosity without deformation of the ceramic slurry due to the measurement method. It is necessary to select suitable equipment with which to measure the viscosity depending on the purpose of the measurement.

This paper describes the results of experiments made to examine the behavior of water droplet on the polymer surface and influence of the charge. In this experiment, water droplet was put on the polymer surface in an applied AC electric field and the investigations of its behavior were done with a high-speed video camera. It can be observed that the droplet elongates and vibrates with being pulled towards the positive electrode in a wave synchronism with the frequency of the power source. The volume and conductivity of water droplet are shown to have a marked effect on the mode of discharge development. These behaviors may be caused by the change of electric field of applied AC voltage and induced charges in/on the water droplet.

최근에 네트워크의 사용량이 증가하고, 다양한 대역폭을 요구하는 응용이 증가함에 따라 이를 지원하기 위하여 유연성이 뛰어난 통신 프로토콜로서 ATM을 사용하게 되었다. ATM은 다양한 대역폭을 요구하는 응용 서비스를 제공하나, 셀의 손실과 지연이라는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ATM망에서의 셀 손실과 셀 지연의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 기존의 트래픽 제어기법을 분석하고, 클래스별로 버퍼의 크기를 할당하는 통합 버퍼 관리기법과 트래픽 특성에 따른 다중 임계를 이용한 ATM 스위치 모델과 트래픽 제어기법을 제시한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존의 연구와 본 논문에서 제안된 기법을 비교하여 성능향상을 분석하고 검증한다. 분석 결과, 제안된 기법은 평균 셀 손실율의 측면에서 버퍼 크기에 비례하여 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다.
