Wind tunnel model tests were conducted for a residential apartment block located within the complex terrain of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The test building is typical of medium-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong. The model study was conducted using modelling techniques and assumptions that are commonly used to predict design wind loads and pressures for buildings sited in regions of significant topography. Results for the building model with and without the surrounding topography were compared to investigate the effects of far-field and near-field topography on wind characteristics at the test building site and wind-induced external pressure coefficients at key locations on the building facade. The study also compared the wind tunnel test results to topographic multipliers and external pressure coefficients determined from nine international design standards. Differences between the external pressure coefficients stipulated in the various standards will be exacerbated when they are combined with the respective topographic multipliers.

The study on terrain referenced navigation has been proceeded from 1940s in advanced country with the object of military. In this study, the analysis regarding algorithm developed using cross-correlation matching algorithm and extended Kalman filter and simulation will be introduced. As a result, the standard deviation of position error from cross-correlation matching algorithm has been calculated 34.3m. It meant that the result has stable accuracy on the navigation. However, further study on terrain referenced navigation based on analysis of various topographic characteristics should be performed.

Based on the reconnaissance of buildings in Dujiangyan City during 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, China, structural damage characteristics and the spatial distribution of structural damage are investigated, and the possible reasons for the extraordinary features are discussed with consideration of the influence of urban historical evolution and spatial variation of earthquake motions. Firstly, the urban plan and typical characteristics of structural seismic damage are briefly presented and summarized. Spatial distribution of structural damage is then comparatively analyzed by classifying all surveyed buildings in accordance with different construction age, considering the influence of seismic design code on urban buildings. Finally, the influences of evolution of seismic design code, topographic condition, local site and distance from fault rupture on spatial distribution of structural damage are comprehensively discussed. It is concluded that spatial variation of earthquake motions, resulting from topography, local site effect and fault rupture, are very important factor leading to the extraordinary spatial distribution of building damage except the evolution of seismic design codes. It is necessary that the spatial distribution of earthquake motions should be considered in seismic design of structures located in complicated topography area and near active faults.

Lomilik Seamount in the west Pacific was seismically surveyed and photographed to illuminate the bottom topography, the condition of manganese crust, and the characteristics of sedimentary environment. Lomilik Seamount has a NW-SE elongated bottom topography with steep slopes in the NESW direction part. Even though the steep slopes of the seamount are devoid of deposits, the summit area and gentle slope of the seamount are covered with thick deposits. The seismic data indicate that Lomilik Seamount is a flat-topped and step-faulted guyot of volcanic origin. Deep-sea camera photographs show that much of the seafloor is rippled in symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns. The traces of biological activity were distinct on gentle seafloor suggesting the low-energy bottom conditions. Some photographs also show outcrops encrusted with manganese crusts. Sedimentary environments in the Lomilik Seamount appear have been governed by regional morphology and strong bottom current.

Revising 11 historical topography of Jecheon city we could notice that this territory was traditionally producing high quality medicinal plants. This view is supported as it was tributed to the King. Production of medicinal plants continue these days, Jecheon being one of the largest production of medicinal plants in Korea. Abundant production of diverse medicinal plants of high quality seems to be linked with the soil, climate and environmental characteristics unique of Jecheon. Therefore we propose to develop new type of herbal medicin drugs like Gobang(膏方) which could distinguish from other places. Gobang matchs well to the requirement of current days being convenient to carry and of good taste. Also is appropriate to treat chronic diseases. Its primordial abundant herbal medicines of high quality for the development of Gobang where Jecheon can provide.

The purpose of this study is to clarify topography interpretation and the space remodeling characteristic of the city by the feng shui thought. the result of the study is as follow. 1. remodeling of the city in the Phoenix thought to be involved in the background wants to overcome the difficult situation in the desire to confirm the implications could be. 2. Six cities have confirmed that the restructuring of urban space by the idea that Phoenix, paulownia, a common landscape elements such as bamboo forests, buildings and places, the egg of the phoenix in relation to landscape, such as Phoenix said that the building area as appropriate to the characteristics of their elements.

Micro/nano tribological and water wetting characteristics of ion beam treated PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) surfaces were experimentally studied. The ion beam treatment was performed with a hollow cathode ion gun at different argon ion dose conditions in a vacuum chamber to modify the topography of PTFE surface. Micro/nano tribological characteristics, water wetting angles and roughness were measured with a micro tribe tester, SPM (scanning probe microscope), contact anglemeter and profilometer, respectively. Results showed that surface roughness increased with the argon ion dose. Water wetting angle of the ion beam treated samples increased with the ion dose, so the surface shows an ultra-hydrophobic nature. Micro-adhesion and micro-friction depend on the wetting characteristics of the PTFE samples. However, nano-tribological characteristics showed different results. The scale effect of surface topography on tribological characteristics was discussed. Also, the water wetting characteristics of modified PTFE samples were discussed in terms of the surface topographic characteristics.

The impact of the detailed surface data on regional meteorological fields in complex coastal area is studied using RAMS. Resolutions of topography and land use data are very important to numerical modeling, because high resolution data can reflect correct terrain height and detail characteristics of the surface. Especially, in complex coastal region such as Gwangyang area, southern area in Korean Peninsula, high resolution topography and land use data are indispensable for accurate modeling results. This study investigated the effect of resolutions of terrain data using SRTM with 3 second resolution topography and KLU with 1 second resolution land use data. Case HR was the experiment using high resolution data, whereas Case LR used low resolution data. In Case HR, computed surface temperature was higher than Case LR along the coastline and wind speed was $1{\sim}2m/s$ weaker than Case LR. Time series of temperature and wind speed indicated great agreement with the observation data. Moreover, Case HR indicated outstanding results on statistical analysis such as regression, root mean square error, index of agreement.
