Transitional zones, one of the typical weak area of earthworks, require lasting a maintenance work due to a differential stiffness of substructures. It is very difficult problem that transition zone was perfectively prevented against a differential settlement. The transitional zone will deteriorate at an accelerate rate. This may lead to pumping ballast, swinging or hanging sleepers, permanent rail deformations, worn track components, and loss of surface and gauge. In this study, it is performed that settlement behavior in transitional zone was compared with small model test.

The air bridge that connects an airplane with air terminal is important facilities that help people get in and out an airplane safely and conveniently. As the number of people who takes airplane has been increasing, an unexpected accident or a disorder on an air bridge can lead to the loss of passenger's lives or a great damage of airplane. This paper suggests a method to secure the safety of an air bridge.

This paper considers a network restoration algorithm for all-optical WDM networks. As the increasing traffic and transmission speed, any failure on the networks will lead to loss of huge data and disruption of the services. Therefore, a network restoration algorithm is necessary for the high-speed all-optical networks. This paper suggests a distributed restoration algorithm for line or channel level failures under the dynamic rerouting. For the algorithm, some measures for performance evaluation are explicitly derived and simulation studies are exploited to evaluate its usability by SLAM(Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling) II.

Power dissipated during test application is substantially higher than power dissipated during functional operation which can decrease the reliability and lead to yield loss. This paper presents a new technique for power minimization during test application in full scan sequential circuits. This paper shows freezing of combinational logic parts during scan shift operation in test mode. The freezing technique leads to power to minimization. Significant power reduction in the scan techniques is achieved on ISCAS 89 benchmarks.

In this paper, we propose Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) method using adaptive signal scale estimation for performance improvement of G.711 PLC. The conventional method controls a gain using 20 % attenuation factor when continuous loss occurs. However, this method lead to deterioration because that don't consider the change of signal. So, we propose gain control by adaptive signal scale estimation through before and after frame information using Least Mean Square (LMS) predictor. Performance evaluation of proposed algorithm is presented through Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) evaulation.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the results of fire retardancy of sealer coated plywood by Building material combustibility tester and Inclined panel tester. At this study, weight loss percentage, flame exhausted time, burning point and smoke yield coefficient were examined. The findings of this study lead to conclusions as listed below. 1. It was obvious that weight loss percentage and flame exhausted time of Inclined panel tester had more remarkable tendency than those of Building material combustibility tester. 2. Burning point was determined by Inclined panel tester while smoke yield coefficient by Building material combustibility tester. 3. Weight loss percentage decreased remarkably with proportion to the increase of sealer coated amount during 5 minutes burning. 4. Flame exhausted time decreased with proportion to the increase of sealer coated amount during 3 minutes burning. 5. Burning point indicated increasing tendency with proportion to the increase of sealer coated amount. 6. Smoke yield coefficient of urea scaler showed definite inclination decreasing with the increase of sealer coated amount.

Hydraulic transport of fines up to the surface of flotation cell was supposed to be a mechanism of fines fractionation through the froth-flotation. Efficient fractionation of fines means efficient skimming out of flotation rejects as much as possible with least long fiber loss. The selectivity of fines fractionation was found to be mainly affected by long fibers flocculation degree in this study. Lack of sufficient flocculation of long fibers could lead to extensive loss of long fibers. It was also found that higher flotation flux caused higher flotation reject as well as the increase of long fiber loss, but did not affect the fine content ratio in the flotation reject. We controlled the flotation flux and the stock consistency, and chose a cationic polymer to maximize the flocculation of long fibers and to increase the amount of flotation reject. The highest efficiency of fines fractionation was obtained at 1.3% of stock consistency and at 100L/min of flotation flux in our experimental set up. The cationaic polymer we chose was found to be very effective in fiber flocculation and flotation froth stabilization. New definitions of fractionation efficiency were introduced in this study to compare the results more clearly.

Bleeding from bone marrow after sternotomy for open cardiac surgery can be sometimes difficult to control and even lead to reoperation for hemostasis. A clinical comparative study was carried out to demonstrate the hemostatic effect of fibrin glue [Beriplast] for sternal marrow bleeding after sternotomy for open heart surgery. Postoperative blood loss was measured in two patient groups, group A included 19 patients operated upon from June to October 1987 and the fibrin glue was applied to the sternal marrow together with collagen fleece and group B consisted of 22 patients from January to May 1987 and only collagen fleece was applied without fibrin glue. There was no difference between two groups in age and sex distributions, coagulation state, method of extracorporeal circulation and operative management. The blood loss one hour after operation was 2.04 ml/hr/kg in group A and 3.55 ml/hr/kg in group B [P<0.001]. The most significant difference was observed during the first 4 hours after surgery with 1.34 ml/hr/kg versus 2.05 ml/hr/kg. over the following 20 hours the amount of drainage from the chest tubes was identical in both groups. Fibrin glue reduces blood loss after open heart surgery by local hemostasis at sternum. Our study has shown that local application of fibrin glue to sternal marrow is an effective method of controlling the sternal bleedings. No side effect or complication of fibrin glue was noted.

About a Structure is performance external insulation is fundamantal performance for enrgy-saving. these day, most of residential structures have constructed by internal insulation method structure. The method structure internal insulation have construction and economical efficiency, but on the other hand, be generated heat loss by heat bridge especially, be generated loss heat-energy logical consequence in structure ondol. The external insulation structure method has a mert able to minimum to loss heat about heat-bridge. But the external insulation technique is unsatisfactory statues within the know-how and method of construction and materials compared with developed countries. The recently, the requirement of market related to the external insulation technique is resulted by the energy efficiency system, but it can lead to the lack of alternative technique In study on the korea type passive house building design for insulation block method of wall system has to experimental characteristic heat-energy of practice building. In result field-experimental, the heat-bridge appeared to characteristic spent heat-energy of blow 2L class and have a suffience performance it.

The effect of TiO$_2$addition has been studied on the power loss, density, initial permeability, resistivity, and microstructure of Mn-Zn ferrites. TiO$_2$addition increased the density of sintered body and decreased of the initial permeability. Activation energy for electron hopping as well as electrical resistivity increased with TiO$_2$addition. The toroidal core sintered at 1150 $^{\circ}C$ with 1.5 wt% of TiO$_2$demonstrated the power loss of 83 mW/㎤ at 1 MHz, 25 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$. However, the same specimen sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ lead to the power loss, 1168 mW/㎤ at 1 MHz, 25 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$ and developed an exaggerated grain growth.
