In this study, a hydraulic model experiment under wave conditions was carried out to investigate the gap/distance between two near-unit farm lines that affects the rope kink and shape variation of a seaweed farm during mooring block movement. As a result, rope kink occurred during the low wave height condition as the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines decreased. The seaweed farm maintained a stable shape in the higher wave height conditions as the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines increased. This result indicates that rope kink is sensitively affected by the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines. A tendency to increase the critical wave height was observed when mooring block movement occurred, and as the mooring block weight and wave period increased. From the experimental results in which incident wave conditions and the mooring block weight changed, as the front side mooring block weight increased from 3.0 to 8.0 tons, the seaweed farm was stable, and rear side mooring block movement hardly occurred. The observed tension of the seaside mooring line was a maximum at about 3.0 ton/m.

The objective of this study is to propose a new methodology to fabricate a reliable engineering-scale buffer block, which shows homogeneous and uniform distribution in buffer block density, for in-situ experiments. In this study, for the first time in Korea, floating die press and CIP (Cold Isostatic Press) are applied for the manufacture of an engineering-scale bentonite buffer. The optimized condition and field applicability are also evaluated with respect to the method of manufacturing the buffer blocks. It is found that the standard deviation of the densities obtained decreases noticeably and that the average dry density increases slightly. In addition, buffer size is reduced by about 5% at the same time. Through the test production, it is indicated that the stress release phenomenon decreases after the application of the CIP method, which leads to a reduction in crack generation on the surface of the buffer blocks over time. Therefore, it is confirmed that the production of homogeneous buffer blocks on industrial scale is possible using the method suggested in this study, and that the produced blocks also meet the design conditions for dry density of buffer blocks in the AKRS (Advanced Korea Reference Disposal System of HLW).

The aim of this study is to check the application criteria of the conventional techniques and clarify the effects of breaker depth, seabed conditions on the stability in relation to the effects of uncertainty of storm duration and directional irregular waves. The typical damage modes were divided by the direct wave force on the armor unit and by the local scouring around the toe of a breakwater head by the model experiments. The destruction modes are defined, and some criteria on the damage modes and scouring/deposition at the toe of a breakwater head in relating the wave-bottom-structural conditions can be checked using the multi-directonal irregular wave generator system. According to the results, it is emphasized that the 3-D effects on the stability should be analyzed in the design of multi-purpose/function coastal structures in consideration of the evaluation of spatial variation of damage modes and hydraulic characteristics as well as the wave distribution along the structures.

A compact antenna switch module for GSM/DCS dual band applications based on multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate is presented. Its size is $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$ and insertion loss is lower than 1.0 dB at Rx mode and 1.2 dB at Tx mode. To verify the stability of the developed module to the process window, each block that is diplexer, LPF's and bias circuit is measured by probing method in the variation with the thickness of ceramic layer and the correlation between each block is quantified by calculating the VSWR In the mean while, two types of bias circuits -lumped and distributed - are compared. The measurement of each block and the calculation of VSWR give good information on the behavior of full module. The reaction of diplexer to the thickness is similar to those of LPF's and bias circuit, which means good relative matching and low value of VSWR, so total insertion loss is maintained in quite wide range of the thickness of ceramic layer at both band. And lumped type bias circuit has smaller insertion itself and better correspondence with other circuit than distributed stripline structure. Evaluated ceramic module adopting lumped type bias circuit has low insertion loss and wider stability region of thickness over than 6um and this can be suitable for the mass production. Stability characterization by probing method can be applied widely to the development of ceramic modules with embedded passives in them.

이 논문(論文)의 목적(目的)은 열적안정성(熱的安定性) 및 내노화성면(耐老化性面)에 있어서 디엔제3성분단위체(第三成分單位體)(diene termonomer)의 각각(各各)의 종류(種類)가 EPDM의 중합체(重合體)의 성질(性質)에 미치는 효과(效果)를 구명(究明)하는데 있다. 제3성분단위체(第三成分單位體) 5종(種)으로 각각(各各) 다음과 같다. 즉, ethylidene norbonene(ENB), butadiene(BD), dicyclopentadiene(DCPD), methyltetrahydroindene (MTHI) 및 1,4-hexadiene(HD)이다. 이들을 써서 만든 각각(各各)의 EPDM은 동(同)몰의 불포화도(不飽和度)로 만들어졌다. 또한 가황계(加黃系)는 동일(同一)한 황/촉진제계(黃/促進劑系)를 사용(使用)하였다. ENB-EPDM이 순(純)고무배합체(配合體) 및 충전제함유배합체(充塡劑含有配合體)의 가황(加黃)에 있어서 모두 함께 가장 빠른 가황속도(加黃速度)를 보였다. HD-EPDM은 순(純)고무배합체(配合體)에서 가황속도(加黃速度)가 가장느렸으나 충전제함유배합물(充塡劑含有配合物)에서는 DCPD-EPDM보다는 발랐다. BD-EPDM을 제외(除外)한 이들 중합체(重合禮)는 거의 같은 초기가교밀도(初期架橋密度)를 갖는다. 가교밀도(架橋密度) 및 가교형(架橋型)을 분석(分析)하여 보면 BD-EPDM 쇄(鎖)에서 부타디엔 단위(單位)는 블럭을 이루고 있다. 또한 HD-EPDM은 순(純)고무가황체(加黃體) 및 충전제배합가황체(充塡劑配合加黃體)에 있어서 원가교결합(原架橋結合)의 50%가 monosulfide의 구조(構造)를 가지고있다. 이외(外)의 4종(四種)의 EPDM 폴리머는 보다 낮은 monosulfide구조를 가진다. $177^{\circ}C(350^{\circ}F)$의 노화온도(老化溫度)에서 ENB 및 HD폴리머는 약(約) 65% monosulfide 가교(架橋) 및 거의 동일(同一)한 파괴에너지값$(E_b)$을 가진다. 그러나 1,4HD의 원가교(原架橋)의 monosulfide 구조함량(含量)이 보다 높다고 해서 그의 내노화성(耐老化性)이 다른 폴리머보다 더 좋다고는 생각되지 않는다. DCPD는 $177^{\circ}C(350^{\circ}F)$의 노화온도(老化溫度)에서 똑같은 monosulfide가교(架橋)를 가지나 노화온도(老化溫度)가 $259^{\circ}C(500^{\circ}F)$로 높아짐에 따라 monosulfide 함량(含量)도 증가(增加)한다. $550^{\circ}F(287.7^{\circ}C)$의 노화온도(老化溫度)에서는 EPDM폴리머의 모든 가교(架橋)가 monosulfide구조가 되나 전가교밀도(全架橋密度) 및 $E_b$ (신장률(伸長率), 절단시(切斷時)의)는 대단(大端)히 낮은 것으로 나타나는데 이것은 산화(酸化)에 의한 노화(劣化)에 기인(基因)되는 것으로 보인다. 질소기류(窒素氣流)속에서의 TGA의 분석결과(分析結果)를 보면 EPDM 가황체(加黃體)는 $800\sim935^{\circ}F(427\sim502^{\circ}C)$의 온도범위(溫度範圍)에서 분해(分解)되며 공기중(空氣中)에서는 $750\sim935^{\circ}F$ 범위(範圍)에서 분해(分解)한다.

The bit error rate(BER) performance of Trellis Coded QPSK signal in the presence of cochannel interference (CCI) and Rician fading is investigated. The trellis coded QPSK system adopts Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity reception and Reed-Solomon code to enhance system performance. Using the derived error probability equation, the error performance of trellis coded QPSK system has been evaluated and shown in figures to discuss as a function of signal power to noise power ratio (SNR), signal power to interference power ratio(SIR), direct to indirect signal power ratio ($K_R$), the number of diversity branch (M), the frame length of Reed-Solomon code (n), the number of error correction symbol (t), and the number of state of trellis encoder. From the results, we know that proposed system is affected by cochannel interference and fading in microcell environment. Also, BER performance of Trellis Coded QPSK system can be improved as increasing either the power of desired signal or the value of SIR. And the BER floor in microcellular system is caused by the cochannel interference and it occurs at high BER when SIR is low. And Reed-Solomon code (n=15, t=2) is more effective to restrain the affection of CCI and fading than MRC diversity reception (M=2).

The transition zone between an earthwork and a bridge effect to the vehicle's running stability because support stiffness of the roadbed is suddenly changed. The design criteria for the transition structure on ballast track were not particular in the past. However with the introduction of concrete track is introduced, it requires there is a higher performance level required because of maintenance and running stability. In this present paper, a transition structure reinforced with geosynthetics is suggested to improve the performance of existing bridge-earthwork transition structures. The suggested transition structure, in which there is reinforcing of the approach block using high-tension geosynthetics, has a structure similar to that of earth reinforced abutments. The utilized backfill materials are cement treated soil and gravel. These materials are used to reduce water intrusion into the approach block and to increase the recycling of surplus earth materials. An experiment was performed under the same conditions in order to allow a comparison of this new structure with the existing transition structure. Evaluation items are elastic displacement, cumulative settlement, and earth pressure. As for the results of the real-scale accelerated testing, the suggested transition structure has excellent performance for the reduction of earth pressure and settlement. Above all, it has high resistance the variation of the water content.

In this study, we synthesized mesoporous carbon (Carbonized Ni-FDU-15) containing nanoporous structures and magnetic nanoparticles. Carbonized Ni-FDU-15 was synthesized via evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) and direct carbonization by using a triblock copolymer (F127) as a structure-directing agent, a resol precursor as a carbon-pore wall forming material, and nickel (II) nitrate as a metal ion source. The mesoporous carbon has a well-ordered two-dimensional hexagonal structure. Meanwhile, nickel (Ni) metal and nickel oxide (NiO) were produced in the magnetic nanoparticles in the pore wall. The size of the nanoparticles was about 37 nm. The surface area, pore size and pore volume of Carbonized Ni-FDU-15 were $558m^2g^{-1}$, $22.5{\AA}$ and $0.5cm^3g^{-1}$, respectively. Carbonized Ni-FDU-15 was found to move in the direction of magnetic force when magnetic force was externally applied. The magnetic nanoparticle-bearing mesoporous carbons are expected to have high applicability in a wide variety of applications such as adsorption/separation, magnetic storage media, ferrofluid, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and drug targeting, etc.

Polyolefin-g-poly(t-butylstyrene) as one of the high-temperature polyolefin-based thermoplastic elastomers was synthesized by the graft-from anionic living polymerization from the styrene moieties of the linear poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) as a soft block to form the hard end blocks, poly(t-butylstyrene). The chemistry of the anionic graft-from polymerization involved complete lithiation of the pendant styrene unit of the soft polyolefin elastomer with sec-BuLi/TMEDA followed by the subsequent graft anionic polymerization of 4-tert-butylstyrene with Mn=10,000~30,000 g/mol. The graft-from living anionic polymerization were very effective and the grafting size increased proportionally with increasing monomer concentration and the reaction times. The synthetic methodology for the multi-hydroxyl chain-end modified polyolefin-g-poly(t-butylstyrene) was proposed by using the thiol-ene click reaction between 2-mercaptoethanol and the polyolefin-g-[poly(t-butylstyrene)-b-high vinyl polyisoprene], which was obtained from the subsequent living block copolymerization using polyolefin-g-Poly(t-butylstyrene) with isoprene. The result indicated that this process produced a new well-defined functionalized graft-type polyolefin-based TPE with high $T_g$ hard block(> $145^{\circ}C$).
