Uranium silicide는 우수한 조사안정성을 가지는 유망한 연구로용 저농축 분산형 핵연료 소재이나 상대적으로 낮은 uranium 함량으로 인해 고출력에 필요한 8~9g-U/㎤ 정도의 uranium 충진 밀도를 얻기 위해서는 Al기지내에 uranium silicide 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높여주는 것이 필요하다 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높이기 위하여는 핵연료봉의 Al 기지내에 핵연료 입자가 균일하게 분포되어야 한다. 균질한 핵연료 심재를 제조하기 위해서는 핵연료 입자와 알루미늄과의 균일한 혼합이 중요하며 이러한 혼합체내의 분말에 대한 균질도를 정확히 평가하는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 혼합분말의 충진시 겉보기 밀도 측정을 통한 조성의 표준편차를 구하는 방법과 X-ray image 분석법을 새로운 균질도 평가방법으로 제시하였다. 구형의 U$_3$Si분말과 Al분말의 혼합시 drum 회전법의 경우에는 밀도차에 의한 segregation이 발생되고 있으나, Spex mill 혼합법의 경우에는 균질도가 향상되었다. 45-150$\mu\textrm{m}$의 분말크기 분포를 갖는 구형 U$_3$Si의 경우가 작은 입자들이 큰 입자들 사이를 효과적으로 채울 수 있기 때문으로 균일한 분포를 갖는 것으로 생각되며, 밀도차가 큰 U$_3$Si의 경우는 밀도차가 작은 구형 Cu-Sn 혼합체에 비해 균질도가 저하됨을 확인하였다. 겉보기 밀도 측정에 의한 균질도 측정평가와 X-ray image 분석법과의 관계에서는 같은 경향성을 찾을 수 있었다.

Soil moisture is affected by regional climate, soil characteristics and land surface condition, etc,. Especially, the changes in land surface condition is more than other factors, which is mainly due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. This study is to evaluate how the change of land surface condition impacts on soil moisture field evolution using a simple model of soil moisture dynamics. For the quantification of soil moisture field, the first half of the paper is spared for the statistical characterization based on the first- and second-order statistics of Washita '92 and Monsoon '90 data. The second half is for evaluating the impact of land cover changes through simulation study using a model for soil moisture dynamics. The model parameters, the loss rate and the diffusion coefficient, have been estimated using the observed data statistics, where the changes of surface conditions are considered into the model by applying various parameter sets with different second-order statistics. This study is concentrated on evaluating the impact due to the changes of land surface condition variability. It is because we could easily quantify the impact of the changes of its areal mean based on the linear reservoir concept. As a result of the study, we found; (1)as the variability of land surface condition, increases, the soil moisture field dries up more easily, (2)as the variabilit y of the soil moisture field is the highest at the beginning of rainfall and decreases as time goes on to show the variability of land surface condition, (3)the diffusion effect due to surface runoff or water flow through the top soil layer is limited to a period of surface runoff and its overall impact is small compared to that of the loss rate field.

반도체 산업이 발전하고 기술이 향상됨에 따라 미세화되고 복잡한 구조의 소자가 개발되고 있으며, 2차원 소재 등 다양하고 새로운 소재들이 발견 및 연구되고 있다. 새로운 소재 또는 기술을 이용한 고품질 소자를 개발하기 위해서는 우수한 특성(높은 순도, 우수한 분해 및 반응 특성)을 지닌 증착소재의 개발 및 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 증착소재의 기본 물성을 측정하는 방법인 단순 기상 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) 분석법은 실제 공정에서의 증착경향을 대변하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 개조된 attenuated total reflection (ATR) 액세서리를 이용하여 실제 공정에서의 증착경향을 대변하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 증착소재의 분해 및 표면 흡착 특성을 분석하기 위해 ATR-FTIR 분석법을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 분산안정도에 따른 nanoparticle을 ATR의 크리스탈 표면에 분포시켜 hexamethyldisilazane(HMDS) source의 흡착 효율을 향상시키는 연구를 수행하였다. Nanoparticle의 분산안정도를 높이기 위하여 suspension 상태에서 pH, sonication, 분산제를 이용하였으며, nanoparticle을 ATR crystal 표면에 분포하여 분석한 결과, 분산안정도에 따라 HMDS의 흡착효율이 달라짐을 확인하였다.

The spatial distribution characteristics and patterns of geographic features in space can be understood through a variety of analysis techniques. The scale is one of most important factors in spatial analysis techniques. This study is aimed at identifying the characteristics of spatial data with a coarser spatial resolution and finding procedures for spatial resolution in operational scale. To achieve these objectives, this study selected LANSAT TM imagery for Sunchon Bay, a coastal wetland for a study site, applied the indices for representing scale characteristics with resolution, and compared those indices. Local variance and fractal dimension developed by previous studies were applied to measure the textual characteristics. In this study, Moran s I was applied to measure spatial pattern change of variance data which were generated from the process of coarser resolution. Drawing upon the Moran s I of variancedata was optimum technique for analysing spatial structure than those of previous studies (local variance and fractal dimension). When the variance data represents maximum Moran´s I at certainly resolution, spatial data reveals maximum change at that resolution. The optimum resolution for spatial data can be explored by applying these results.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been regarded as a promising material for the fabrication of flexible conductors such as transparent electrodes, flexible heaters, and transparent speakers. In this study, a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film was deposited on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a spraying technique. MWCNTs were dispersed in water using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To evaluate the effect of the weight ratio between SDS and MWCNTs on the electromechanical properties of the film, direct tensile tests and optical strain measurement were conducted. It was found that the CNT film hardly affected the mechanical behavior of CNT/PET composite films, while the electrical behavior of the CNT film was strongly affected by the SDS concentration in the CNT film. The electrical resistance of CNT/PET films gradually increased with the strain applied to the PET substrate, even up to a large strain that ruptured the substrate.

The spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves (SASW) method is a nondestructive testing method based upon generation and detection of elastic stress waves. SASW is widely used as one of the techniques to determine stiffness profile in engineering geophysics. The essential steps involved are construction of an experimental dispersion curve from data collected in situ, and inversion of the dispersion curve to determine the stiffness profile. The main object of this study is to derive an analytical Jacobian for the inversion. If we set the subsurface to N homogeneous layer, it could save 2N times Jacobian calculation compared to numerical jacobian calculation during inversion. To reconstruct a stiffness profile, constrained damped least square method was applied for the inversion. The algorithm was tested for the numerical data and for the real asphalt and tunnel data, which were able to verify the stiffness profile. The stiffness profile reconstructed by the algorithm showed the possibility to appraise the soundness of tunnel with applications SASW.

As one of the main support systems, rock bolts play a crucial role in the reinforcement of tunnels. Numerical and experimental studies using a transmission method of ultrasonic guided waves are performed to evaluate the integrity of rock bolts encapsulated by grouting paste. Numerical simulations using "DISPERSE" are carried out for the selection of the optimal experimental setup, i.e. non-destructive testing (NDT) system of the rock bolt. Based on results of the numerical simulation, the calculated frequency range for NDT testing is between 20kHz and 70kHz with the first longitudinal L(1) mode. Laboratory transmission tests are performed by attaching the piezo electric sensor at the tip of the rock bolt before embedding. Both of analytical and experimental results show that the amplitude of signals as well as the wave velocity increases with increase in the defect ratio of grouting paste. The defect in grouting paste means that the space around the rock bolt is not fully filled with the grouting paste. Experimental results also show that the increase of the wave velocity is more sensitive to the defect ratio increase than that of the amplitude. This study demonstrates that the transmission technique of ultrasonic guided waves may be a valuable tool in the evaluation of the rock bolt integrity.

For energy-efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), when a sensor node detects events, the sensing period for collecting the detailed information is likely to be short. The lifetime of WSNs decreases because communication modules are used excessively on a specific sensor node. To solve this problem, the TARP decentralized network packets to neighbor nodes. It considered the average data transmission rate as well as the data distribution. However, since the existing scheme did not consider the energy consumption of a node in WSNs, its network lifetime is reduced. The proposed scheme considers the remaining amount of energy and the transmission rate on a single node in fitness evaluation. Since the proposed scheme performs an efficient congestion control it extends the network lifetime. The simulation result shows that our scheme enhances the data fairness and improves the network lifetime by about 27% on average over the existing scheme.
