  • In this study, we describe a method of measuring position using the Additional Secondary Factor (ASF) compensation technique of the eLoran concept in the situation where only Loran-C signals are received without eLoran time broadcasting. Next, we describe the result of test performed to verify the method. The test results showed the position accuracy within 20m and we found the possibility of the method. The method is expected to be used to verify user positioning accuracy before improving Loran-C to eLoran.

  • In this study, we investigated characteristics of a gas flow and a combustion property during the combustion of a RDF in a pyrolysis melting incinerator with disposal rate of 30 kg/hr. The RDF was pyrolyzed through the pyrolysis chamber at $600^{\circ}C$ of the chamber surface without oxygen condition. The pyrolysis gas was injected in the combustion chamber. It was burned by means of the staged combustion that was injecting secondary and tertiary air in the combustor. We measured the temperatures and the gas components in the combustion chamber while maintaining the air-fuel ratio of 1.3. Finally, we confirm that additional air injection, secondary and tertiary air ratio, was the most important factor to reduce NOx.

  • A significant factor limiting the ranging accuracy of Loran (Long Range Navigation) signal is the additional secondary factor (ASF) in the time of arrival (TOA) measurements. Precise ASF values are essential if Loran deliver the high absolute accuracies demanded for aircraft approach, maritime harbour entrance. We measured the absolute propagation delay between Pohang Loran signal and Loran receiver output signal by comparing with Cesium atomic clock. In this study we measured ASFs between Pohang 9930M station and the 12 measurement points in the Yeongil Bay by using the measurement technique of absolute time delay. The measurement points were spaced at interval of 3 km by 3 km. An E-field antenna and an H-field antenna were used to improve the accuracy of ASF measurements and a DGPS (Differential GPS) receiver was used for accurate positions. We have gotten the result that the measured ASFs were compared with the predicted ASFs through this measurement technique.

  • The Long Range Navigation (LORAN) had been mainly used world-wide until GPS (Global Positioning System) activation. In particular. it was essential junctionality for the ships to sail the oceans. However, according to the industry's developing, the current accuracy of Loran is insufficient for the utilization such as the harbour approach, the land navigation and the field of precise timing. Therefore it is necessary the study on the improvement of the positioning accuracy of Loran. The method of its improvement is to measure and compensate the propagation time delay, that is, additional secondary factor (ASF) between the transmitter and user's receiver. This study shows the technique for the absolute time delay measurement without a time of coincidence (TOC) table, and represents the ASF measurement result between Pohang transmitter station(9930M) and each measure points.

  • Effect of tip leakage flow on through flow and performance of a centrifugal compressor impeller was numerically studied using CFX-TASC flow. Seven different tip clearances were used to consider the influence of tip clearance on performance. Secondary flow and loss factor were evaluated to understand the loss mechanism inside the impeller due to tip leakage flow. The calculated results were circumferentially averaged along the passage and at the impeller exit for quantitative discussion. Tip clearance effect on Performance could be decomposed into inviscid and viscous components using one dimensional equation. The inviscid component is related with the specific work reduction and the viscous component is related with the additional entropy generation. Two components affected Performance equally. while efficiency drop was mainly influenced by viscous loss. Performance and efficiency drop due to tip clearance were proportional to the ratio of tip clearance to exit blade height. A simple model suggested in the present study predict performance and efficiency drop quite successfully.

  • This paper presents the ASF(Additional Secondary Factor) modeling of DGPS beacon signal. In addition to DGPS's original purpose, the feasibility to utilize DGPS system for timing and navigation has been studied. For timing and navigation, the positioning system must know the accurate time delay of signal traveling from the transmitter to receiver. Then the delay can be used to compute the user position. The DGPS beacon signal transmits the data using medium frequency, which travels through the surface and cause the additional delay rather than the speed of light according to conductivities and elevations of the irregular terrain. We introduce the modeling of additional delay(ASF) and present the results of implementation. The similar approach is Locan-C. Loran-C has been widely used as the maritime location system and was enhanced to E-Loran(Enhanced Loran). E-Loran system uses the ASF estimation method and is able to provide the more precise location service. However there was rarely research on this area in Korea. Hence, we introduce the ASF and its estimation model. With the comparison of the same condition and data from the original Monteath model and ASF estimation data of Loran system respectively, we guarantee that the implementation is absolutely perfect. For further works, we're going to apply the ASF estimation model to Korean DGPS beacon system with the Korean terrain data.

  • Several power factor correction(PFC) circuits are presented to achieve high PF electronic ballast for both voltage-fed and current-fed electronic ballast. The proposed PFC circuits use valley-fill(VF) type DC-link stages modified from the conventional VF circuit to adopt the charge pumping method for PFC operations during the valley intervals. In voltage-fed ballast, charge pump capacitors are connected with the resonant capacitors. In current-fed type, the charge pump capacitors are connected with the additional secondary-side of the power transformer. The measured PF and THD are higher than 0.99 and 15% for all proposed PFC circuits. The lamp current CF is also acceptable in the proposed circuits. The proposed circuit is suitable for implementing cost-effective electronic ballast.

  • This exploratory research explores the concept of a digital legacy as a general concept and as a collection of digital possessions with unique characteristics. The results reported in this article are part of a larger study. In Cushing (2013), the author identified the characteristics of a digital possession. In this study, these characteristics of a digital possession were utilized to explore how the characteristics of several digital possessions could form a collection, or a digital legacy. In addition to being explored as a collection of digital possessions, data was collected about the general concept of a digital legacy. In part I of the study, 23 participants from three age groups were interviewed about their general concept of a digital legacy. Five general characteristics describing a digital legacy were identified. In part II of the study, interview data from Cushing (2013) was used to create statements describing digital possessions. The statements were classified utilizing the archival concept of primary and secondary values, as well as the consumer behavior concepts of self extension to possessions and possession attachment. Primary value refers to the purpose for which the item was created, while secondary value refers to an additional value that the participants can perceive the item to hold, such as a perception that an item can represent one's identity. Using standard Q method procedure, 48 participants were directed to rank their agreement with 60 statements (written on cards), along a distribution of -5 to +5, according to the characteristics of the digital possession they would most like to maintain for a digital legacy. The ranked statements were analyzed using Q factor analysis, in order to perceive the most common statements associated with maintaining digital possessions for a digital legacy. Q method results suggested that most individuals described the digital possessions they wanted to maintain for a digital legacy using various combinations of characteristics associated with primary and secondary values. This suggests that while some participants will respond to personal archiving based on the concept of preserving identity (a perceived secondary value), this will not appeal to everyone. Information professional could consider this difference in appeal when marketing personal archiving assistance to patrons.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of teacher efficacy and collectivistic self-esteem on alleviation of teacher burnout. In order to achieve these research purpose, data were collected from 161 elementary and secondary school teachers using teacher efficacy scale, collectivistic self-esteem scale and psychological burnout scale. Collected data were analyzed using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression. The major results of statistical analyses were as follows: First, generally background variables were significantly associated with burnout and therefore, background variables were controlled in the analysis of teacher efficacy and collectivistic self-esteem. Second, teacher efficacy influenced on the total burnout(38%) and sub-factors which were emotional exhaustion(27.3%), depersonalization(20.7%) and diminished personal accomplishment(36.1%), and collectivistic self-esteem influenced on the total burnout(38.8%) and sub-factors which were emotional exhaustion(27.1%), depersonalization(29.6%) and diminished personal accomplishment(25.1%). Third, the analysis of additional influence of collectivistic self-esteem in addition to the influence of teacher efficacy on teacher burnout revealed additional influence in the alleviation of total burnout(18.2%), emotional exhaustion(13.9%), depersonalization(16.6%) and diminished personal accomplishment(10.3%). These results showed that teacher's collectivistic self-esteem is an important factor in the alleviation of psychological burnout with teacher efficacy which was well known as a protective factor for psychological burnout. Based upon the above results, implications of these results and limitations of this study were discussed.
