A capillary method was used to evaluate the properties of mass transfer process and diffusion coefficients in the gel food. Amaranth dye was selected as a diffusant material to visualize the degree of diffusion procedure easily. After contacting cylinder containing agar gel with amaramth dye solution for some hours, the gel was cut to five segments by 0.5 cm in length. The diffusant concentration from the segments were measured by the spectrophotometer at 523 nm. Prediction models for the diffused quantities in gel food were established by the regression program of SPSS package program. Generally, diffusion coefficient can be calculated by Fick's second law, however, it will be determined by using numerical analysis method more easily. Finally the diffusion coefficients in this research were calculated by arithmetic mean of the measured values. As raising gel agent concentration, the mean diffusion coefficient tended to decrease because the obstruction effect came to become significant.

This study was conducted to investigate the stress distribution in the prestressed concrete pavement (PSCP) when the transverse post tensioning was applied. By performing the structural analyses using a finite element model of PSCP, the effect of anchor spacing and the relationship between the longitudinal and transverse post tensioning were evaluated. The analysis results showed that as the anchor spacing became smaller, the stresses were more uniformly distributed and the ranges of the stress losses were reduced; however, the economy should be considered. As the anchor spacing became larger, the difference between the average transverse stress and the transverse stresses at various locations such as shoulder, wheel pass, and center of the slab, increased. The transverse post tensioning induced the additional tensile forces in the longitudinal tendons, but the magnitude was negligibly small, and the longitudinal and transverse post tensioning could be designed independently. The use of the transverse stress distribution for the design of the post tensioning was also discussed in this paper.

A steel frame is one of the most commonly used structural systems due to its resistance to various types of applied loads. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of several parameters, such as connection flexibility, the boundary condition of each support, and beam-to-column stiffness ratio, on the characteristic behavior of a frame. Based on the results of these studies, several design methods have been proposed. This research focused on the number of bolts on the rotational stiffness of a double-angle connection, and its effect on the story drift of a frame. To achieve these purposes, a simplified analytical model was proposed. Several experimental tests were also conducted to obtain the rotational connection stiffness of each double-angle connection.

The yaw control, a major part of the wind turbine, is closely related to the efficiency of electric power production and the mechanical load. The yaw error, which results from the nacelle not being appropriately aligned in the wind direction, not only decreases the power output but also reduces the lifetime of the wind turbine as a result of large fatigue loads. However, the yawing rate cannot be increased indefinitely because of constraints on mechanical loads. This paper investigates the characteristics of an active yaw control system, the basic principle of the system, and mechanical loads around the yaw axis during yawing.

This paper shows the feasibility of using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials for manufacturing automotive coil springs. For achieving weight reduction by replacing steel with composite materials, it is essential to optimize the material parameters and design variables of the coil spring. First, the shear modulus of a CFRP beam model, which has $45^{\circ}$ ply angles for maximum torsional stiffness, was calculated and compared with the test results. The diameter of the composite spring was predicted to be 17.5 mm for ensuring a spring rate equal to that when using steel material. Finally, a finite element model of the composite coil spring with $45^{\circ}$ ply angles and 17.5 mm wire diameter was constructed and analyzed for obtaining the static spring rate, which was then compared with experimental results.

비정질 반도체/절연체의 직류와 교류 전도도 스펙트럼은 주파수에 대한 거듭제곱의 법칙 (power-law)을 따르는 보편성이 있음이 확인되었다. 이러한 보편성은 다양한 비정질 반도체/절연체 물질에서 공통적으로 관찰되었으며 현재까지 이 보편성의 물리학적 원인이 정확히 규명되지 않고 있다. 이 보편성을 설명하기 위한 모델로서 비정질 반도체/절연체 내의 전자/정공의 호핑 전도기구 (hopping conduction mechanism)가 제시된 바 있으며 다양한 비정질 시스템의 전도도 스펙트럼 해석에 인용되고 있다. 그러나 직.교류 전도기구 사이의 상이함에 대한 이견이 있으며 현재까지 정확히 규명된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 비정질 GeSe 반도성 물질의 전도도 스펙트럼을 10 Hz-1 MHz 주파수 대역에서 측정하였으며 이를 위해 백금 상.하부 전극을 갖는 크로스바(crossbar)형의 금속-절연체-금속구조의 2단자 소자를 제작하였다. 측정 스펙트럼으로부터 본 연구의 GeSe 물질이 앞서 언급한 비정질 물질의 보편성에 부합함을 확인하였으며 스펙트럼 내의 직류와 교류 성분을 명확히 분리할 수 있었다. 직.교류 전도도 스펙트럼의 명확한 기구 분리를 위하여 4개의 상이한 면적을 갖는 크로스바에 대한 측정을 실시하였으며 그 결과로 직.교류 전도도의 상이한 면적 의존성을 관찰하였고 이를 근거로 직.교류 전도도가 서로 다른 전도기구에 기인함을 간접적으로 알 수 있었다. GeSe의 전도도 스펙트럼의 온도 의존성 실험을 위해 시편의 온도를 20-300 K 범위에서 변화시키며 전도도 스펙트럼을 측정하였으며 이를 통해 교류 전도도 스펙트럼 내에 상이한 두 개의 전도 기구가 혼재해있음을 규명하였다.

Catalytic combustion is generally accepted as one of the environmentally preferred alternatives for heat and power from fossil fuels, as it has the advantage of stable combustion under very lean conditions with such low emissions as UHC, CO, and NOx. In this work, therefore, comparative numerical studies on the catalytic combustion behaviors over Pd-based catalysts have been conducted with the gaseous $CH_4$, $C_2H_6$, and $C_3H_8$. In the following, after introducing the governing equations with 1D channel and Langmuir-Hinshelwood models, numerical investigations on the catalyst performance are conducted by changing such various parameters as inlet temperature, excess air ratio, and space velocity. The numerical results show that outlet temperature and conversion of $C_3H_8$ are highest among others because of its chemical structure and reactivity.

Clustering is a method for grouping objects with similar properties into a same cluster. SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) is known as an efficient preprocessing method for clustering because of dimension reduction and noise elimination for a high dimensional and sparse data set like E-Commerce data set. However, it is hard to evaluate the worth of original attributes because of information loss of a converted data set by SVD. This research proposes a cluster feature selection method, called ENTROPY-SVD, to find important attributes for each cluster based on entropy weighting and SVD. Using SVD, one can take advantage of the latent structures in the association of attributes with similar objects and, using entropy weighting one can find highly dense attributes for each cluster. This paper also proposes a model-based collaborative filtering recommendation system with ENTROPY-SVD, called CFS-CF and evaluates its efficiency and utilization.

Various factors affecting the teachability of Cs-137 in cement matrix have been investigated. Factors investigated include such as pressure curing, vibration curing, pressure leaching, the effect of the clay addition, ion-exchange resin(IRN-77) addition, and $CO_2$or air injection. Leaching experiments were conducted by the method recommended by IAEA. To analyze the experimental results, pore structure analysis of cement matrices was carried out by BET method. Cement matrices may not contact directly with underground water in real repository, since the surroundings of disposed drums are filled with backfill. Thus, the effect of backfill to the teachability has been investigated. The well-known diffusion theory was utilized to predict long term leach rate and cumulative fraction leached of Cs-137 or non-radioactive species.

The accurate determination of the fast neutron flux/fluence onto the pressure vessel is an essential part of the reactor pressure vessel surveillance program. It has been reported recently that the iron cross section data in ENDF/B versions III through V might underestimate the flux/fluence of fast neutrons in steel structures such as reactor pressure vessel. In this study, for the comparison of iron data of ENDF/B-IV and VI we produced two 47-group cross section sets, CXFe-IV and CXFe-Ⅵ, which are based on Yonggwang nuclear unit-3/4 model and the iron data of ENDF/B-IV and VI, respectively. A comparison was made of the results obtained from DOT4.3 calculation using CXFe-IV and CXFe-VI. From the results, it was found that the fast flux(E 〉 1.0 MeV), which is important for the pressure vessel embrittlement analysis, increases by about 7.6％ at the inner wall and 20％ at the outer wall of the vessel, if the iron data are used from ENDF/B-VI instead of ENDF/B-IV.
