물수지의 불균형으로 발생되는 가뭄은 장기간에 걸쳐 넓은 규모로 발생되는 자연재해로서, 농업 및 산업에 직접 피해와 다양한 상품에 대한 공급 부족으로 인한 가격 상승 등의 간접 피해를 야기하는 재해이다. 이러한 가뭄을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 기상 요인(강수, 기온), 농업 요인(식생), 수문 요인(증발산, 토양수분) 등과 같은 설명 변수를 기초로 하는 많은 가뭄지수들이 개발되어 왔다. 대표적인 가뭄지수에는 Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Soil Water Deficit Index (SWDI), Vegetation condition index (VCI), Temperature Condition Index (TCI), Vegetation Health Index (VHI), Scaled Drought Condition Index (SDCI), Integrated Crop Drought Index (ICDI) 등이 있다. 본 연구는 최근 개발된 통합작물가뭄지수(ICDI)를 통해 미국 옥수수의 약 90%를 생산하는 농업지역인 미국 콘벨트의 가뭄 특성을 분석하고자 한다. ICDI는 기상 요인(강우량 및 지표면 온도), 수문학적 요인(잠재 증발산 및 토양수분), 식생 요인(강화식생지수(Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI))의 조합을 통해 지표면의 건조·습윤 상태 및 식생의 건강 상태를 설명하는 가뭄지수이다. 2004년부터 2019년까지 주요 콘벨트 지역인 일리노이, 인디애나, 아이오와를 대상으로 가뭄분석을 실시하였으며, 옥수수 수확량 아노말리와의 상관성을 분석하였다.

Bum-in test is one for eliminating semiconductor devices that are subject to early failures and other operational problems; it is usually carried out on the devices by imposing severe test conditions such as elevated voltages, temperatures, and time. In order for such a test to be performed, each burn-in board having devices to be tested, needs to be inserted into a corresponding slot. A set of such slots is called a zone. The slots comprising a zone can only have the burn-in boards with the devices of the same type. In order to test many different types of semiconductor devices, it is desirable to build a burn-in test system to have as many zones as possible. A zone controller controlling a zone, is a device that performs a burn-in test and collects test results. In case of existing systems, each zone controller takes care of a zone that consists of a fixed number of slots. Since a zone controller is, in most cases, embedded into a workstation that controls the overall testing process, adding new zone controllers is restricted by the spaces for them. As a way to solve or alleviate these problems, a dynamic zone system in which the number of slots in a zone can be dynamically allocated, is presented. This system maximizes the efficiency of system utilization, by altering the number of slots and hence minimizing the idle slots of a zone. In addition, all the test operations being performed must be aborted for maintenance in existing systems. In dynamic zone systems, however, a separate and independent maintenance is allowed for each slot, as long as the main power supply system has no problem.

The current allowable cross-contamination level of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in aviation turbine fuel (AVTUR) is 50 mg/kg, due to that the presence of FAME in AVTUR can significantly impact the fuel supply system and jet engine. It has been difficult to analyze the level of FAME in AVTUR, since it is consisted of a lot of hydrocarbons. In this study, thus, a new method using multi-dimensional GC-MS (MDGC-MS) was proposed in order to determine the FAME level in AVTUR effectively. Applying to MDGC-MS with Deans switching system enabled us to detect and quantify the FAME with low carbon numbers such as those derived from coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The matrix effect of MDGC-MS method, which could shift the FAME peaks to slightly longer retention times, was reduced by 20 times compared with that of 1-dimensional GC-MS reference method. This developed method could be suitable for qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine the contamination level of trace FAME in AVTUR.

Fog causes economic losses in transportation. It also results in health problems when it is combined with air pollutants. Considerable research efforts have focused on developing fog removal systems. However, most systems operate themselves after monitoring the fog. Additionally, continuous energy supply and maintenance are required to retain the fog-removal efficiency of the system. This study included the demonstration of a moss filter (a polyolefin mesh interlaced with moss) as a fog-removal method overcoming the limitations of the fog removal system. Three types of mosses with different surface structures were investigated to elucidate the relation between the moisture absorption rate and the structures. Among the different moss types, Hypopterygium japinicum showed the highest efficiency based on the smallest pore diameter and the largest total pore area. The visibilities with the moss filter and the polyolefin mesh were compared to perform the fog removal tests. The moss filter could provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly fog removal system with sustainability.

This paper examines the possibility of 'parallel reimportation', the reimportation of goods originally produced in the country and exported to another country by profit-pursuing arbitrageurs. The chance of parallel reimportation implies unusually high level of market power of domestic enterprises, and promoting parallel reimportation can be an effective welfare-enhancing, competition-generating policy for the situation. Motivated by the finding, this paper proposes a methodology to measure the welfare effects of parallel reimportation. Specifically, this paper makes use of a structural empirical model to estimate the demand and supply system of Korean automobile market for performing a counterfactual experiment to measure the welfare effects of the parallel reimportation. The results indicates that parallel reimportation can enhance social welfare considerably by increasing consumer surplus and government tax revenue altogether, though it reduces the producer surplus.

The astaxanthin recovery efficiencies were compared in acetonitrile, acetone, methanol, dichloromethane : methanol (1:3, v/v) and ethylacetate : ethanol (1:1, v/v) as a extraction solvent after the grinding of the H. pluvialis cells. The astaxanthin extraction yield in acetone was 1.13~1.29 times higher than other extraction solvents. It was also found that 96.7% of astaxanthin accumulated in H. pluvialis could be recovered by a single extraction. Since astaxanthin exists mainly as astaxanthin esters in H. pluvialis, a gradient reversed-phase HPLC analysis was carried out for the separation of astaxanthin esters from the extracts of H. pluvialis. Among the astaxanthin inside the H. pluvialis cell, free astaxanthin was 45.9% and astaxanthin esters were the rest.

반도체 소자나 디스플레이 패널 제조 공정에 가장 많이 사용되는 진공 펌프인 터보 분자 펌프는 오일을 사용하지 않고, 설치 방향이 자유로우며 넓은 작동 압력 영역을 가지고 있어서 고가임에도 불구하고 점점 더 사용 영역을 넓혀 가고 있다. 상하의 두 곳에 회전축을 지지하는 베어링이 필요한데, 기계식 금속 베어링을 채용하는 경우에는 반드시 윤활유를 공급해 주어야 하고, 고온, 부식성 또는 산화성 가스의 배기 시에는 퍼지 가스로 비활성인 질소나 알곤등을 이용하여 보호를 해주어야 한다. 반면, 자기 베어링을 채택한 모델은 윤활의 걱정에서 자유로울 수 있기 때문에 채용이 늘어나고 있다. 동일극의 반발력이나 반대극의 인상력을 이용한 구조를 갖게 되는데 갑작스러운 입구 쪽 압력의 증가 시에는 자석 끼리 부딪치는 일이 발생하고 이로 인해서 로터 모듈 전체에 큰 손상을 갖게 되므로 한 곳 정도에 비상용 터치 다운 베어링을 기계식으로 윤활제 없이 설치하기도 한다. 기본적으로 자기 베어링 방식은 로터 모듈의 부상과 제어를 위해서 3축 또는 5축 제어를 하게 되는데 여기에는 전자석의 전류를 미세하게 조정하여 피드백 하는 시스템을 활용하기 때문에 외부에서의 자기장이 일정값 이상 침투하게 되면 제어 회로의 기능에 문제를 일으키게 된다. 또한 축 방향에 수직인 자기장의 강도가 높아지면 고속으로 회전하는 금속 블레이드가 자속을 자르게 되므로 표면에 와전류가 발생하여 문제가 된다. 터보 분자 펌프는 회전자와 고정자 간격이 1 mm 이내로 작아서 약간의 진동이라도 발생하면 회전자와 고정자 간에 충돌이 일어나고 이는 곧 파손으로 이어진다. 그림 1에는 파손 원인 분석을 위한 회전자 모듈의 수치 해석용 모델의 일부를 나타내었고, 그림 2에는 실제로 외부 자기장에 의한 파손이 발생한 사례의 자기 베어링 모듈의 사진을 나타내었다. 본 발표에서는 외부 자기장의 형태에 따라 제어 자기장에 미치는 영향을 CFD-ACE+(ESI corp)를 활용하여 해석하였다.

This paper explains cross-national variation of CPI(corruption perception index) centering on legal culture. By critically reviewing previous researches on effects of British common law system on corruption, we define legal culture as citizens' perception of their legal system. Specifically, measuring legal culture with respect to courts fairness and courts accessibility, we test two hypotheses on effects of legal culture on corruption. A cross-national comparison of 78 countries with OLS regression analyses reveals that courts fairness tends to lower the level of corruption while courts accessibility does not have a significant effect on corruption. Based on this result, we suggest policy implications for judicial reform as well as anti-corruption measure, which puts more emphasis on reforming legal practice that hinders courts fairness than increasing legal service supply. In addition, as the essence of legal culture lies in citizens' shared perception of the legal system, we argue that a broad and solid citizens' consciousness of fair and equitable legal procedures is indispensable in preventing corruption.
