Travel delay (TD) denotes a time difference between the running time of vehicle with a normal speed and the travel time of vehicle with a reduced speed for traversing the same segment of roadway, and is sometimes used as a measure of time delayed in the junction or bottleneck areas of roadway. Urban freeways in the foreign countries are often suffering from traffic delay within the entrance and exit ramp junction influence areas, as a freeway with the speed limit of 80 km/h or higher only during the rush hours, but those in our country are especially experiencing severe traffic delay on the mainline segments as well as within the entrance and exit ramp junction influence areas, as a freeway with the speed limit of 80 km/h or less regardless of the rush hours. So, the purpose in this study is to develop the models that could predict the travel delay within the ramp junction influence areas of urban freeway having the geographical features which differ from the expressway, and also examine the validity of the travel delay predictive models developed.

Urban freeway is defined as the roadway with 4 lanes or more which requires a high design criteria for handling a large capacity of vehicles rapidly as a high-speed exclusive roadway in the city. However, most of the urban freeways suffer from severe traffic congestion due to the increased traffic exceeding their capacities regardless of the morning and afternoon rushhours or the inbound and outbound directions. The purpose in this study is to collect and investigate the real-time traffic characteristics based on the ramp junction influence areas of the urban freeway connected with the Busan port, compare and analyze the traffic characteristic relationship for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas, and finally assess and suggest the optimal capacity for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas.

The first version of KHCM was Published in 1992 and is currently used in engineering Practice extensively. The study of new manual was initiated by Korea Institute of Construction Technology 1998 and is intended to be ready for publication by the year 2002. According to the field survey, the action of the individual merging vehicle creates turbulence in the vicinity of the ramp-freeway junction area. The purpose of this paper is to develop the model for Predicting the for entering the lanes 1 and 2($V_{12}$) and the density function at the influence zone by comがring the research works on the ramp junction in the USHCM 2000. The methodology has two major steps : the determination of the flow entering Lanes 1 and 2 immediately upstream of the merge influence area: and the density of the flow within the ramp influence area As a result of this paper the specific functions for such models are suggested through the regression analysis of data collected at four freeway fields in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the reorganization of periodontal ligament after collagenase treatment with autoradiography. The author compared the collagenase-treated experimental group and no-treated experimental group with control group. Fourty eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into nine groups, including normal control and immediate group. Closed coil springs were used between the upper incisors and the first molars with 100 grams. Collagenase and $^3H-proline$ were adminstered and the samples were sacrificed and sectioned. After being dipped into the NTB-3 emulsion the samples were analyzed with light microscope under H/E stain. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. The results were as follows: 1) Generally collagenase-treated groups got more $^3H-proline$ uptake than no-treated groups. 2) Compared with normal control group, collagenase-treated group had the same $^3H-proline$ uptake in amount at 21th day. 3) Among cemento-enamel junction, middle, apex areas, cementa-enamel junction area of collagenase-treated group arrived at normal control level earlier than no-treated group. 4) Cemento-enamel junction area had the most $^3H-proline$ incorporation amount in no-treated group, but apex area had the most in collagenase group.

Density is used as the measure of effectiveness within the ramp junction influence area suggested in the KHCM 2005 in the LOS analysis of the ramp junction, and also density predictive models suggested in the KHCM 2005 is constructed based on the expressway with the speed limit of 100km/h or 110km/h in Korea. So, the density predictive models suggested in the KHCM 2005 are needed to verify if the models could be applied to the urban freeway with the speed limit of 80km/h or less, because the speed limits on most of the urban freeways in Korea are 80km/h or less. The purpose in this study is to construct and verify the appropriate density predictive model within the on-ramp merge influence area of the urban freeway by comparing with the USHCM 2000 and KHCM 2005 models.

Three fabrication techniques for forming thin barrier layer with uniform thickness and large barrier height in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) are discussed. First, the effect of immiscible element addition to Cu layer, a high conducting layer generally placed under the MTJ, is investigated in order to reduce the surface roughness of the bottom ferromagnetic layer, on which the barrier is formed. The Ag addition to the Cu layer successfully realizes the smooth surface of the ferromagnetic layer because of the suppression of the grain growth of Cu. Second, a new plasma source, characterized as low electron energy of 1 eV and high density of $10^{12}$ $cm^{-3}$, is introduced to the Al oxidation process in MTJ fabrication in order to reduce damages to the barrier layer by the ion-bombardment. The magnetotransport properties of the MTJs are investigated as a function of the annealing temperature. As a peculiar feature, the monotonous decrease of resistance area product (RA) is observed with increasing the annealing temperature. The decrease of the RA is due to the decrease of the effective barrier width. Third, the influence of the mixed inert gas species for plasma oxidization process of metallic Al layer on the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) was investigated. By the use of Kr-O$_2$ plasma for Al oxidation process, a 58.8 % of MR ratio was obtained at room temperature after annealing the junction at $300{^{\circ}C}$, while the achieved TMR ratio of the MTJ fabricated with usual Ar-$0_2$ plasma remained 48.4%. A faster oxidization rate of the Al layer by using Kr-O$_2$ plasma is a possible cause to prevent the over oxidization of Al layer and to realize a large magnetoresistance.

Ultra thin Si p-n junctions shallower than $300{\AA}$ were fabricated and biased to the avalanche regime. The ultra thin junctions were fabricated to be parallel to the surface and exposed to the surface without $SiO_2$ layer. Those junctions emitted white light and electrons when junctions were biased in the avalanche breakdown regime. Therefore, we could observe the avalanche breakdown region visually. We could also observe the influence of electric field to the current flow visually by observing the white light which correspond to the avalanche breakdown region. Arrayed diodes emit light and electrons uniformly at the diode area. But, the reverse leakage current were larger than those of ordinary diodes, and the breakdown voltage were less than 10V.

Purpose : Electron is used for the treatment of skin cancer, breast cancer, and head and neck cancer in clinic. Our study is performed to check the isodose distribution in source surface distance(SSD)and source bolus distance(SBD)setup, nipple influence to isodose distribution of electron, junctional area isodose variation of photon and electron field. Materials and Methods : The electron dose distribution measures the diameter for 20 cm hemisphere paraffin phantom 2 made. It inserted the film between 2 paraffin phantom and it investigated it got radiation and dose distribution curve. Results : The 8% of isodose difference is with the surface distance(SSD)and source bolus distance(SBD)setup. The electon when the nipple exists inside the field, as nipple size it cuts the bolus and when it puts out and there is a possibility of getting the dose distribution which is homogeneous. When in the junction of electron and photon it uses the bolus it uses in the electron field whole, there is a possibility of getting the dose distribution which is homogeneous. Conclusion : The dose distribution decrease from the SBD setup. To reduce the influence of nipple, corresponding volume of bolus should be removed. And bolus covering all the electron field reduced hot and cold spot of junctional area of photon. In the future becomes the research which sees an effective electron therapy.

Post-tensioned concrete voided slab girders are widely used in highway bridge constructions. To obtain greater section hollow rate and reduce the self-weight, the plate thickness of slab girders are designed to be small with the adoption of flat anchorage system. Since large prestress is applied to the anchor end section, it was found that longitudinal shear cracks are easy to occur along the voided slab girder. The reason is the existence of great shearing effect at the junction area between web and bottom (top) plate in the anchor end section. This paper focuses on the longitudinal anti-cracking problem at the anchor end of post-tensioned concrete voided slab girders. Two possible models for longitudinal anticracking analysis are proposed. Differential element analysis method is adopted to derive the solving formula of the critical cracking state, and then the practical analysis method for longitudinal anti-cracking is established. The influence of some factors on the longitudinal anti-cracking ability is studied. Results show that the section dimensions (thickness of bottom, web and top plate) and prestress eccentricity on web plate are the main factors that influence the anti-cracking ability. Moreover, the proposed method is applied into three engineering examples to make longitudinal anti-cracking verification for the girders. According to the verification results, the design improvements for these girders are determined.

The flow and bed change were analyzed using the CCHE2D model, which is a two-dimensional numerical model, at a confluence of the Namhan River and Seom River where deposition occurs predominantly after the "Four Major Rivers Restoration Project." The characteristic of the junction is that the tributary of Seom River joined into the curved channel of the main reach of the Namhan River. The CCHE2D model analyzes the non-equilibrium sediment transport, and the adaptation lengths for the bed load and suspended load are important variables in the model. At the target area, the adaptation length for the bed load showed the greatest influence on the river bed change. Numerical simulation results demonstrated that the discharge ratio ($Q_r$) change affected the flow and bed change in the Namhan River and Seom river junction. When $Q_r{\leq}2.5$, the flow velocity of the main reach increased before confluence, thereby reducing the flow separation zone and decreasing the deposition inside the junction. When $Q_r$>2.5, there was a high possibility that deposition would be increased, thereby forming sand bar. Numerical simulation showed that a fixed sand bar has been formed at the junction due to the change of discharge ratio, which occurred in 2013.
