The nearest-neighbor multihop routing with/without infrastructure support is known to achieve the optimal capacity scaling in a large packet-erasure network in which multiple wireless nodes and relay stations are regularly placed and packets are erased with a certain probability. In this paper, a throughput scaling law is shown for an infrastructure-supported erasure network where wireless nodes are randomly distributed, which is a more feasible scenario. We use an exponential decay model to suitably model an erasure probability. To achieve high throughput in hybrid random erasure networks, the multihop routing via highway using the percolation theory is proposed and the corresponding throughput scaling is derived. As a main result, the proposed percolation highway based routing scheme achieves the same throughput scaling as the nearest-neighbor multihop case in hybrid regular erasure networks. That is, it is shown that no performance loss occurs even when nodes are randomly distributed.

Polyimides and related polymers, when synthesized from aromatic monomers, have generally rigid chain structures resulting in a low gas permeability. The rigidity of polymer chains reduces the segmental motion of chains and works as a good barrier against gas transport. To overcome the limit of use as materials of gas separation membranes due to low gas permeability, block copolymers with the incorporation of flexible segments like siloxane linkage and ether linkage have been studied. These block copolymers have microphase-separated structures composed of microdomains of flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) or polyether segments and of rigid polyimides segments. In case of rigid-flexible block copolymers, the characteristics of both phases for gas permeation are of great difference. The permeation of gas molecules occurs favorably through microdomains of flexible segments, whereas those of rigid segments hinder the permeation of gas molecules. Accordingly the increase of content of flexible segments in a rigid polymer matrix will increase the gas permeability of the membrane linearly. However, this prediction does not satisfy enough many experimental results and in particular the drastic increase of the permeability is observed in a certain volume fraction. It was proposed that the gas transport mechanism is dominated by diffusion rather than gas solubility in a certain content of flexible phase if solution-diffusion mechanism is adopted. However, the transition from solubility-dependent to diffusion-dependent cannot be explained by the understanding of mechanism itself. Therefore, we consider an effective chemical path which permeable phase can form in a microheterogenous medium, and percolation concept is introduced to describe the permeability transition at near threshold where for the first time a percolation path occurs. The volume fraction of both phases is defined as V$_{\alpha}$ and V$_{\beta}$ in block copolymers, and the volume of $\beta$ phase in the threshold forming geometrically a traversing channel is defined as V$_{\betac}$. The formation mechanism of shortest chemical channel is schematically depicted in Fig. 1.

Has been being operated since 1974, recently, the flood forecasting and warning system is applied in almost all the rivers in Korea, and the Storage Function Method(SFM) is used for flood routing. The SFM which was presented by Toshimitsu Kimura(1961) routes floods in channels and basins with the storage function as the basic equation. A watershed is devided into two zone, runoff and percolation area and Runoff is occured when cumulated rainfall is not exceed saturation rainfall, but exceed, runoff is occured from percolation area, too. Runoff area is given and not changed, runoff ratio is constant. In routing process, runoff from runoff and percolation area is routed seperately with nonlinear cenceptual reservior having same characteristics and it is unreasonable assumption. Modified SFM is proposed with storage function and continuity Equation which has no assumption for routing process and effective rainfall is calculated by SCS Method. For Wi Stream, comparision of Kimura and Modified SFM is conducted and It could be seen that Modified SFM is more improvemental and easily applicable method.

The SFM which was presented by Toshimitsu Kimura (1961) routes floods in channels and basins with the storage function as the basic equation. A watershed is divided into two zone, runoff and percolation area and runoff from runoff area is occurred when cumulated rainfall is not exceed saturation point, but exceed runoff is occurred from percolation area, too. Runoff area is given and not changed, runoff ratio is constant. In routing Process, runoff from runoff and percolation area is routed seperately with nonlinear conceptual reservoir having the same characteristics and it is unreasonable assumption. A modified SFM is proposed with storage function and continuity equation which has no assumption for routing process and effective rainfall is calculated by SCS Method. For Wi-stream, comparison of Kimura and the modified SFM is conducted, and it could be seen that the modified SFM is more improvable and applicable method easily by reducing the parameters.

A study was carried out to investigate the water balance and losses of nutrients at a paddy plot located at the southern Korea. The observed amount of precipitation, irrigation, runoff, evapotranspiration and percolation for the experimental paddy plot during cropping period were 1,030, 566, 701, 551. and 310 mm for 1999 and 1.214, 413, 710, 682, and 234 mm for 2000 year, respectively. The measured input quantities of N and P into the paddy field during cropping period were 122 to 140 kg N $ha^-1$ and 29 to 30 kg $P_2O_5$ kg $ha^-1$ by chemical fertilizer, 20 to 28 kg N $ha^-1$ and 0.35 to 0.36 kg P $ha^-1$ by precipitation, and 26 to 35 kg N $ha^-1$ and 0.57 to 0.72 kg P$ha^-1$ by irrigation water. respectively. The output amounts of N and P from paddy field were measured as follows. They were 48 to 52 kg N $ha^-1$ and 1.1 to 1.6 kg P $ha^-1$by runoff water, and 9 to 12 kg N $ha^-1$ and 0.04 to 0.05 kg $ha^-1$ by percolation water. When the runoff losses of nutrients were compared to applied chemical fertilizer. it was found that 34.3 % to 42.6 % of nitrogen lost via runoff while runoff losses of phosphorus account for 3.8 % to 5.3 % of the total applied amount. When the ratio was calculated between nutrients losses by percolation water and the applied of chemical fertilizer, two year results showed 6.4 % to 9.8 % for the nitrogen and 0.1% to 0.2% phosphorus, respectively.

To describe a mathematical heat transfer model in saturated paddy soils, an analytical solution of the heat flow equation incorporated with the heat transfer by mass flow of water was obtained under the assumptions: 1) the diurnal (or annual) changes in temperature at a depth follow harmonic curves, 2) the temperature at the infinite depth be constant and 3) the temperatures of soil and water at the one depth be identical. The calculation of thermal diffusivities of the soil is possible with the known values of the physical parameters of each component in the soil matrix (heat capacity, density and porosity), percolation rate and the minimum and maximum temperatures at two different depths. The calculated thermal diffusivities using the solution were $9.5cm^2/hr$ for the loam soil with the percolation rate of 0.88cm/day and $13.9cm^2/hr$ for the sandy loam soil with the percolation rate of 2.64 cm/day.

Lignocellulose ($2^{nd}$ generation) is difficult to hydrolyze due to the presence of lignin and the technology developed for cellulose fermentation to ethanol is not yet economically viable. However, recent advances in the extremely new field of biotechnology for the ethanol production are making it possible to use of agriculture residuals and nonedible crops biomass, e.q., rice straw and miscanthus sinensis, because of their several superior aspects as agriculture residual and nonedible crops biomass; low lignin, high contents of carbohydrates. In this article, as the basic study of AP(Ammonia Percolation), the properties and the optium conditions of process were established, and then the overall efficiency of AP was investigated. The important independent variables for AP process were selected as ammonia concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The percolation condition for maximizing the content of cellulose, the enzymatic digestibility, and the lignin removal was optimized using RSM(Response Surface Methodology). The determined optimum condition is ammonia concentration; 11.27%, reaction temperature; $157.75^{\circ}C$, and reaction time; 10.01 min. The satisfying results were obtained under this optimized condition, that is, the results are as follows: cellulose content(relative); 39.98%, lignin content(relative); 8.01%, and enzymatic digestibility; 85.89%.

In Korea, the duty of water in paddy fields was measured at the Agricultural Experimental Station in Suwon about 60 years ago. After that time some testing has been made in several places, but the key points in its experiment were the water depth of evapo-transpiration. Improved breeds, progress in cultivation and management techniques as well as development of measuring apparatus in recent years have necessitated the review of the duty of water in paddy fields. The necessity of reviewing the conventional methods has become even more important, as no source of information has been made available through survey of water utilization on a soil use basis which requires data on peculiar features of the water depth of evapo-transpiration. For example, the duty of water in paddy field is largely affected by the water depth of evapo-transpiration in connection with the wetted paddy field, whereas in connection with the normal paddy fields without this characteristic the vertical percolation become the predominant factor in measuring the decreasing depth of water. Therefore, it becomes important. that not only the water depth of evapotranspiration but also the vertical percolation process should also be observed in order to arrive at a realistic conclusion. As the vertical percolation has aclose relationship to the height of the underground water, the change of the latter can be measured. As the conclusion of this experiment, the following subjects are indicated. 1. In order to determine the economic duty of water in paddy fields on a basis of varying soil features, the varying soil features in the benifited area should be investigated thoroughly. The water depths of evapo-transpiration(ET) ratio to evaporation in the evaporator(V) on a basis of the varying soil features are as follows: clay loam ET/V = 1.11, loam ET/V = 1.64, sandy loam ET.V = 1.63 2. The decreasing depth of water consists of the water depth of evapotranspiration, the vertical per colation and the percolation of foot path. Among these three, the percolation of foot path can be utilized again. 3. As the result of this experiment, it shows the decreasing depth of water as follows. clay loam 9.3 mm/day, loam 13.5mm/daty, sandy loam 15.3mm/day 4. On a basis of the varying soil features and the height of the underground water, the vertical percolation varies. 5. The change of the vertical percolation on a basis of the varying soil features shows as follows: clay loam $1{\sim}2$ mm/day, loam $2{\sim}3$mm/day, sandy loam $3{\sim}4$mm/day 6. The level of the underground water changes sensibly by priority of clay loam, loam, sandy loam. When it rains, the level of the underground water rises fast and falls down slowly. 7. The level of the underground water changes within the scope of 25cm 8. The transpiration ratio is given in table 8 and their value are as follows: clay loam 168.8, loam 255.6, sandy loam 272.5
