The dispersing performance of oligomer-type anionic surfactants ($C_mD-Na$), cooligomers of diethylester maleate and alkylvinylether of different alkyl chain lengths or polymerization degree were studied on the aqueous suspension of iron dxide or titanium dioxide particles which are hydrophilic pigments. The dispersion behavior of oligomer-type surfactants for these dispersoids, although anion charges on the surface of pigments particles showed different dispersing properties, was dependent upon the side alkyl chain length. Oligomer-type surfactants having more than $C_8$ side alkyl chain exhibited large dispersing action for relatively hydrophobic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and Anatase $TiO_2$ in the concentration range of more than 0.1% oligomer-type surfactant solutions.

This paper considers the trajectory and impact point dispersion analysis of the test launch vehicle (TLV). The analysis, which performed before and after its flight test on November 28, 2018, is described and verified by comparing with the flight test results. The six degree-offreedom (DOF) simulation is used to compute the dispersion of the trajectory, attitude, and impact point, where the launch vehicle performance variations and wind effects during the atmospheric phase are included. The impact area to guarantee the flight safety is determined using the results of the dispersion analysis. The flight test results confirm that the safe flight of TLV is performed within the predicted dispersion boundary.

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) are materials of significant interest in next-generation technological fields due to their outstanding physicochemical properties, including excellent chemical and thermal stability. However, for effective utilization, dispersion of BNNT is essential. Unfortunately, BNNT exhibit hydrophobic surfaces and strong van der Waals forces, making their dispersion challenging. Current dispersion methods include the addition of surfactants and surface functionalization, but these chemical treatments often damage BNNT and involve cumbersome processes. In this study, we dispersed BNNT in water under various tip ultrasonication conditions and identified conditions that do not affect BNNT using FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Subsequently, enhanced dispersibility was confirmed through turbidity measurements, and the solubility range in 15 different solvents was evaluated using the Hansen solubility parameter.

We measured the variance of eddy diffusion and associated ‘diffusion coefficients’ in coastal regions of Korea by observing the separation distances among multiple drifters deployed simultaneously at the same initial position. The variance of eddy diffusion was found to be proportional to $t^m$, where t is the time and m is a non-integer scaling exponent between 1.5 and 3.5. The observed scaling exponent of eddy diffusion cannot be reproduced by diffusion models employing constant eddy diffusivity. In this study, we applied fractal theory in simulating exponential increase of variance of eddy diffusion. We employed the fGn(fractional Gaussian noise) as a ‘modified’ random walks corresponding to the oceanic eddy diffusion. The variance of eddy diffusion, which corresponds to the fBm(fractional Brown motion) of our diffusion model, is proportional to $t^{2H}$, where H is Hurst scaling exponent. The temporal increase of the variance. with scaling exponent between 1 and 2, was successfully reproduced by our fractal diffusion model. However, our model cannot reproduce scaling exponent greater than 2. The scaling exponents greater than 2 are associated with the velocity shear of the mean flow.

It is essential to know the information about the prior model for wavelet coefficients, the probability distribution of noise, and the variance of wavelet coefficients for noise reduction using Bayesian estimation in wavelet domain. In general denoising methods, the signal variance is estimated from the proper prior model for wavelet coefficients. In this paper, we propose a variable window size decision algorithm to estimate signal variance according to image region. Simulation results shows the proposed method have better PSNRs than those of the state of art denoising methods.

To estimate for an error signal with sigmoid nonlinearity what reduced constellation applies closed eye pattern in the initial equalization, there can be improves problems of previous soft decision-directed algorithm that increasing estimate complexity and decreasing of convergence speed when substitute high-order constellation. The characteristic of sigmoid function is adjusted by a mean and a variance parameter, so it depends on adjustment of variance that what reduced constellation $values(\gamma)$ can have ranges between + $\gamma$ and - $\gamma$. In this paper, we proposed Variable Modulus Algorithm (VMA) that can be improving a performance of steady-state by adjustment of variance when equalization works normally and each cluster of constellation decrease.

The compensation characteristics are investigated as a function of the position an optical phase conjugation (OPC) in the optical transmission links with a randomly distributed residual dispersion per span (RDPS). The simulation results show that the optimal net residual dispersion (NRD) is decided to be 10 ps/nm and -10 ps/nm by precompensation and postcompensation, respectively, which are independence of the OPC positions.

To improve the CNT's dispersion, we tried to chemically modify the surface of MWNT with the butyllithium and the hexyllithium solution in sonicated reactor. The functionalized-MWNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FT-IR) and Raman spectrophotometer. Also, we investigated the amount of alkyl moiety incorporated into MWNT's surface with Thermal gravimetric analyzer(TGA) and dispersibility in various organic solvents. Finally, we could find organic content was about 5% of the functionalized MWNT and dispersibility was enhanced in some solvents having intermediate solubility parameter.

가입자망과 메트로 광 가입자망에서 광범위한 적용범위에 대해 광 기술을 선도하는 기존의 WDM은 증가하는 사용자 수를 수용하는 데 어려움을 가지며 WDM은 채널간의 잡음에 의한 제한과 유효 채널의 최대가 WDM 채널에서 광 증폭기 이득의 균일성에 의해 제한받는다. 따라서 사용자 수를 증가시키고 데이터량을 확장시킬 수 있는 CDMA 기술 도입이 하나의 대안으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 SMF에서 수십 km 거리를 갖는 가입자망에서 Prime sequence code를 사용한 2.5Gb/s 광 COMA 신호의 색분산 패널티에 대해 연구하였다. 시스템 모델에서, 색분산 패널티, 파형과 디코드된 신호의 아이 다이어그램(eye diagram)이 결과로써 보여지며, prime sequence code 수의 증가에 대해 Chirp 파라미터를 갖는 코드화된 신호의 색분산 패널티를 보인다. 이러한 접근은 pseudo-orthogonality를 가지는 비동기식 광 CDMA의 디자인에 특히 적합할 것이다.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 서비스를 제공함에 있어 지능적인 수행 능력은 사용자의 만족도를 높여주는 핵심 요소이다. 시스템의 지능을 부여하기 위해서는 지식을 관리, 처리, 활용하는 기능이 필요한데, 이들 기능은 그 지식이 어떻게 표현되어 있는지에 큰 영향을 받는다. 일차 술어 논리 기반 지식 표현 방법은 폭넓은 표현 범위와 유연한 지식 정의, 추론 방법으로 선호되고 있지만, 복잡한 계산 비용을 갖고 있기 때문에, 전문적인 지식 처리 시스템이 아닌 경우, 불필요한 계산 비용이 소요된다. Description Logic은 Frame기반 지식 표현 방식으로 일차 술어 논리를 사용하는 것보다 지식을 표현할 수 있는 범위는 제한적이지만, 빠른 추론 결과를 보장해 준다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 분산된 다양한 오브젝트들이 협력과정을 통해 사용자에게 지능적인 서비스를 제공하게 되고, 이들 개별적인 오브젝트들은 저사양의 계산능력을 갖고 있다고 가정된다. 그러므로, 저사양의 컴퓨팅 오브젝트들을 조합하여 지능적인 서비스를 성공적으로 제공하기 위해서, 각각의 오브젝트들은 제한된 지식을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 Frame 기반의 Description Logic을 기반으로 SUNHI의 표현 범위를 가진 인식론적 온톨로지 표현 언어를 제안하고, SUNHI의 표현 범위의 효율성을 증명하고자 한다.
