The International Maritime Organization has developed the Energy Efficiency Design Index, an index related to carbon dioxide emissions, to enforce regulations on newly built ships. In this study, a new type of energy-saving device called the ring stator was used for 158k crude oil carriers, whose hull form was developed as a very thin after-body hull to reduce the resistance by delaying separation. The Energy-Saving Device (ESD) particularly involving the duct, is not adapted to the thin-after body hull form-like container ship. This new ring stator was developed considering these characteristics. A parametric study was conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the Star-CCM+ program, and approximately 3.4 % improvement in propulsion efficiency was achieved. Further optimization investigations and experimental studies should be conducted in the future.

This paper introduces an effective methodology for reliability-based design optimization of electromagnetic products, where a performance measure approach is adopted to accurately assess probabilistic constrains. Two design problems consisting of a loudspeaker and a superconducting magnetic energy storage system are considered. The efficiency of the proposed method in evaluating the failure probability of performances during the optimization process are compared with the existing method based on the reliability index approach. Moreover, in term of the accuracy of probability failure values, optimized design results are examined with reference values obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation.

열전변환기술은 폐열을 전기로 변환하는 제벡효과를 이용한 기술이다. 열전변환효율은 재료의 성능에 따라 결정되며 성능지수 $ZT=S^2{\sigma}T/k$로 표현할 수 있다. 여기서 S는 제벡계수, ${\sigma}$는 전기전도도, k는 열전도도, T는 절대온도이다. GeTe계 열전재료는 $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$에서 쓰이는 중온용 열전재료이다. 높은 성능지수를 가지기 위해서는 파워펙터($S2{\sigma}$)의 향상과 열전도도의 감소가 필요하다. GeTe계 화합물은 Ge의 공공 때문에 높은 캐리어 농도를 가지게 되고, 이로 인해 낮은 제벡계수 값과 높은 열전도도를 가지게 된다. 따라서 GeTe계 화합물의 성능 향상을 위해서는 캐리어농도 제어가 필수적이다. TEM을 통하여 GeTe를 관찰하면 밝고 어두운 콘트라스트들이 형성되어 있는 헤링본구조를 확인 할 수 있다. 콘트라스트를 보여주는 작은 평행사변형 하나는 헤링본구조의 가장 작은 단위인 도메인이며 이 도메인들이 특정한 방향으로 배열되어 콜로니를 형성하고 콜로니들이 특정한 방향으로 배열되어 헤링본구조를 이룬다. 헤링본의 폭과 길이를 제어 할 수 있다면 GeTe계 화합물의 열전특성 향상에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GeTe계 화합물내에 도핑원소 첨가를 통한 캐리어 농도제어와 도핑원소 첨가에 따른 헤링본구조의 변화에 관하여 연구하였다.

The objective of this study is to develop hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents by blending paraffins, glycol ethers and siloxanes in oder to effectively clean contaminants such as flux, solder and grease. And the effect of cleaning ability by wetting index, aniline points and solubility parameter of the formulated hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents were studied in this work. The formulated hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents were prepared on the base of physical properties of their individual components. Wetting indexes and aniline points of their were measured through experiments and solubility parameters of their were calculated based on the Hansen's equation. In this study, evaluation of cleaning ability by cleaning agents were carried out using contaminants such as flux, solder, and grease. The experimental results showed that the cleaning ability of the formulated cleaning agents was excellent in cleaning contaminants such as flux, solder and grease and that the influencing parameters on their cleaning efficiency were found to be different according to contaminant types. MC($20.3MPa^{1/2}$), DF-1 ($24.2MPa^{1/2}$) and DF-2($21.5MPa^{1/2}$) with similar solubility parameter as flux ($21.3MPa^{1/2}$) showed 100% cleaning efficiency within 3 minutes in flux cleaning. And CFC-113, MC and 1,1,1-TCE with low aniline point less than $-20^{\circ}C$ showed excellent cleaning efficiency in solder cleaning. DG-1($16.2\;MPa^{1/2}$) and DG-2($15.5\;MPa^{1/2}$) with similar solubility parameter as grease($15.0{\sim}17.0\;MPa^{1/2}$) showed relatively low cleaning efficiency of grease, but CFC-113 and MC with high wetting index and low aniline point showed good cleaning efficiency in grease cleaning. As a result of this study, the hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents alternative to regulated cleaning agents such as CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE and MC were able to be developed through properly blending paraffins, glycol ethers and siloxanes for cleaning flux, solder and grease. And it can be shown that various influencing parameters of cleaning efficiency such as wetting index, aniline point, solubility parameter and etc. of the non-aqueous cleaning agent should be reviewed for prediction of their cleaning ability and can be applied to formulation of cleaning agents.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global logistics and supply chains, leading to major discrepancies in logistics performance across countries worldwide. Through an examination of logistics performance index and supply chain tracking data, this study aimed to identify the changes in global supply chains and logistics environments during the pandemic. The analysis of the logistics performance index showed that overall, countries around the world, especially developed nations, showed improvements in metrics such as customs and border management efficiency, the quality of trade and transport infrastructure, capability and quality of logistics services, and cargo tracking abilities. However, the competitive pricing feasibility of international transportation and the on-time delivery frequency of goods saw a decline due to the pandemic's effects. The supply chain tracking data revealed that ports in Asian countries demonstrated high processing efficiency. In contrast, the U.S. and European countries took comparatively more time. Particularly for air cargo, parcels, and express shipments, the U.S. showed relatively longer processing times, leading to logistical delays. In conclusion, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Asian countries maintained relatively high efficiency in their logistics and trade environments. Conversely, the U.S. and some European countries showed delays and decreased efficiency in various metrics. In the future, efforts should be made to address delays and congestion, namely, the deceleration of logistics processes.

In this paper, we compared and analyzed the influence of the fading index and the number of branch of diversity in the Nakagami-m fading channel environment when the MRC diversity and the hybrid SC/MRC are applied to the DS/CDMA system. We considered that the number of branches were 2,3, and 4, respectively and applied an individual diversity type according to the number of branches, when nakagami fading index(m) were 1 and 2. We found that when the Nakagami fading index m is small, that is to say, when fading is inferior, the application of a hybrid SC/MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient; however, when the fading environment is good, the application of the MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient. As a result, we verified that when the actual communication environment is inferior, the hybrid SC/MRC diversity that selects a strong signal to be received on an individual number of branches could replace the MRC diversity, as a method to achieve a similar performance by reducing the complexity of the system.

열전재료는 열-전기가 상호 가역적으로 변하는 재료로서, 최근 에너지 변환소재 분야에서 각광받고 있다. 열전재료의 특성 효율은 무차원 열전 성능지수(dimensionless figure of merit, $ZT={\alpha}2{\sigma}T/{\kappa}$)로 나타낼 수 있다. 여기서 ${\alpha}$는 제벡계수(Seebeck coefficient), ${\sigma}$는 전기전도도(electrical conductivity), ${\kappa}$는 열전도도(thermal conductivity), T는 Kelvin 온도를 나타낸다. 500 K에서 800 K까지의 중온 영역에서 우수한 열전특성을 보이는 $Mg_2X$ (X=Si, Ge, Sn)와 이들의 고용체는 성분원소가 독성이 없고, 매장량이 많아 친환경 열전 재료로 각광받고 있다. $Mg_2X$ 고용체 중 $Mg_2Si_{1-x}Ge_x$는 기존 $Mn_2Si$, $Mg_2Ge$, $Mg_2Sn$계 보다 더 우수한 열전 성능지수를 보인다. 다양한 제조 방법들이 시도되고 있으나, 조성설계 및 구조, 성능 조절의 어려움이 있고, Mg의 산화와 휘발 및 Mg, Si, Ge의 융점 차이가 크고 중력 편석과 반응하지 않은 원소들로 인해 제조가 상당히 어렵다. Sb가 도핑된 $Mg_2Si_{0.5}Ge_{0.5}Sb_y$ (y=0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) 고용체를 고상반응으로 합성하고 진공열간 압축성형을 통해 성공적으로 제조하였다. 고용 상을 확인하기 위하여 X선 회절분석을 실시하였고, 고용체 형성과 도핑에 따른 전기적 특성변화를 평가하기 위해 Hall 효과를 측정하여 전자 이동특성을 분석하였고, 323~823 K까지 전기전도도, 제벡계수, 열전도도의 측정을 통해 열전 성능지수를 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 fuzzy granular computing 방법 중의 하나인 context-based FCM을 이용하여 granular-based radial basis function neural network에 대한 기본적인 개면과 그들의 포괄적인 설계 구조에 대해서 자세히 기술한다. 제안된 모델에 기본이 되는 설계 도구는 context-based fuzzy c-means (C-FCM)로 알려진 fuzzy clustering에 초점이 맞춰져 있으며, 이는 주어진 데이터의 특징에 맞게 공간을 분할함으로써 효율적으로 모델을 구축할 수가 있다. 제안된 모델의 설계 공정은 1) Context fuzzy set에 대한 정의와 설계, 2) Context-based fuzzy clustering에 대한 모델의 적용과 이에 따른 모델 구축의 효율성, 3) 입력과 출력공간에서의 연결된 information granule에 대한 parameter(다항식의 계수들)에 대한 최적화와 같은 단계로 구성되어 있다. Information granule에 대한 parameter들은 성능지수를 최소화하기 위해 Least square method에 의해서 보정된다. 본 논문에서는 모델을 설계함에 있어서 체계적인 설계 알고리즘을 포괄적으로 설명하고 있으며 더 나아가 제안된 모델의 성능을 다른 표준적인 모델들과 대조함으로써 제안된 모델의 우수성을 나타내고자 한다.
