The existing methods to analyze the heterogeneous porous media based on the similar media concept are the microscopic Miller similitude(MiS), the macroscopic Miller similitude(MaS) and the Warrick similitude(WS). The inter-relationship is found such that MiS ⊂ MaS ⊂ (⊂:subset). The proposed method is based ont eh assumption that the scale variables $\alpha$=w and the moisture content is dimensionless by introducing the effective degree of saturation instead of the degree of saturation into WS. The method, without the loss of generality in view of the inspectional analysis, can explain the heterogeneity of the media by using the scale variable $\alpha$ only. The media of $\alpha$=1 (average of $\alpha$) means the equivalent media corresponding to the heterogeneous media, while the standard deviation of $\alpha$ may explain the degree of the heterogeneity of the media under consideration. The hydraulic conductivity of the media with $\alpha$>1 is greater than that of the equivalent media, and the effective moisture content of the media with $\alpha$>1 is also greater. Based on these properties of the scale variable $\alpha$, the ideal vertical one-dimensional heterogeneous porous media is generated by using the technique of random number generation.

Reserve-time migration (RTM) using a two-way wave equation is one of the most accurate migration techniques. RTM has been conducted by assuming that subsurface media are isotropic. However, anisotropic media are commonly encountered in reality. Conventional isotropic RTM may yield inaccurate results for anisotropic media. In this paper, we develop RTM algorithms for vertical transversely isotropic media (VTI) and tilted transversely isotropic media (TTI). For this, the pseudo-acoustic wave equations are used. The modeling algorithms are based on the high-order finite-difference method (FDM). The RTM algorithms are composed using the cross-correlation imaging condition or the imaging condition using virtual sources. By applying the developed RTM algorithms to the Hess VTI and BP TTI models, we could obtain better images than those obtained by the conventional isotropic RTM.

To probe the temperature elevation effect caused by ultrasound, a tissue mimicking phantom was newly suggested. A carrageenan gel was adopted to realize not only the required transparency for visualization but also acoustic characteristics similar to human tissue. To visualize the temperature elevation inside phantom, thermochromic film with a critical temperature of discoloration was introduced. Acoustic characteristics of the tissue mimicking phantom were examined when the concentrations of carrageenan and sucrose changed. As the results, the attenuation coefficient of the phantom could be controlled in the range of 0.44~0.49 dB/cm/MHz, and the acoustic impedance in the range of 1.52~1.77 Mrayls. We could control the acoustic characteristics of the phantom by different concentration of carrageenan and sucrose, and it was possible to examine the temperature elevation caused by ultrasound in the phantom. The suggested method was verified by noninvasively visualizing the temperature elevation due to planar and focused ultrasound using the fabricated phantom.

본 논문에서는 지한 탐사용 레이더를 이용한 특정 산란체의 간단한 탐지 방법을 제안하였다. 기본 원리는 매설된 특정 산란체를 기준으로 하여 몇 가지 크기와 모양 및 전기적 특성이 유사한 산란체들로부터 발생되는 산란신호의 차이를 상관함수(correlation function)을 이용하여 탐지하는 것이다. 산란체가 매설된 지하매질로는 레이더의 동작 주파수에 다른 분산과 손실 등의 전기적 특성 변화를 시뮬레이션에 반영하기 위하여 다항 Debye 모델이 사용되었다. 지상 및 지하 매질에서의 3차원 전파(電波) 전파(傳播) 시뮬레이션을 위한 EDTD 방법을 사용하였다.

무선 캡슐형 내시경 시스템 설계를 위하여 인체내부에서 표면까지의 전송손실을 $0.001{\sim}2$ GHz대역에 대하여 분석하였다. 실제 인체구조 모델에 안테나를 적용하여 계산결과를 얻은 기존 연구와 달리 인체내 매질의 평균적 특성을 갖는 균일 매질로 가정하여 안테나의 Q와 효율을 계산하였다. 계산 결과 40MHz의 HPBW(Half-Power Bandwidth), 5mm반경 크기의 송신안테나, 15un거리에 대하여 $400{\sim}600$MHz 사이에서 -58dB가량의 최적 손실이 예상되었다. 분석된 손실 결과를 바탕으로 450MHz에서 무선 캡슐형 내시경 시스템이 설계 및 제작되었고 실제 유사매질용액에서 실험결과 15cm/10cm거리에서 -62/-5ldB의 손실을 보였으며 동물실험에서는 돼지 체내외간 10cm가량의 거리에 대해 약 -56dB의 손실이 측정되었다.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) has been used as a vehicular fuel compressed at 24.8 MPa because the energy density of natural gas is extremely low compared with gasoline. Thus it has problems in both safety and cost for multiple stage compression. For these reasons the use of adsorbed natural gas (ANG) has been pursued since the storage of natural gas is possible at a relatively low pressure. The present target is to obtain media to store natural gas at 3.5 MPa as ANG that ensures the comparable energy density of CNG, giving approximately one-fourth the driving range of an equivalent volume gasoline tank. In this review, the recent development of carbon media, their characteristics, and practical applications for natural gas storage are introduced and some recommendations are also suggested.

The incompletion of TIR (Total Internal Reflection) in FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) touch screen has been investigated as follows. Assuming a 3 layer thin film of medium1 ($n_1$)-medium2 ($n_2$)-medium3 ($n_3$) with refraction indices of $n_1=n_3{\neq}n_2$, it was theoretically proven that FTIR or OT (ordinary transmission) phenomena might happen through medium2 from medium1 to medium3 relying on relative difference in $n_1(=n_3)$ and $n_2$, and that the formulae for FTIR and OT could be transformed into each other depending on the number state (imaginary or real) of the light wave phase. In parallel to the theoretical analysis, the incompletion of TIR in acrylate due to external contacts was also elucidated from the experimental and phenomenological viewpoints. On the basis of this considerate work, we explained how to improve the touching performance for better FTIR touch screen.

The kerfs between arrayed piezoelectric elements in a medical ultrasonic transducer or a piezoelectric composite transducer are generally filled by polymeric materials. The boundary condition of the elements for lateral mode vibration is changed according to the kerf-filling materials, so that the resonance frequency for longitudinal mode of the transducer is also varied. In this study, to investigate the resonance frequency variation for an arrayed transducer experimentally, the piezoelectric vibration elements of $14mm{\times}0.22mm{\times}0.44mm$ were fabricated and those were linearly arrayed. And, the resonance frequencies were measured for three cases of kerf-filling condition, non-filling and two different kinds of epoxy filling. Conclusively, it is confirmed that the resonant frequency variation shows the similar tendency with the theoretical one for the longitudinal mode.

추출제 Cyanex 301에 대한 NaN $O_3$ 매질에서 Am과 Eu의 추출 및 상호분리 거동에 대해 고찰하였다. Cyanex 301에 대한 Am과 Eu의 추출거동은 매우 유사하여 상호 분리할 수 없었으나 Cyanex 301을 8M NaOH로 비누화 처리하여 NaN $O_3$ 용액 매질에서 Eu에 대한 미량의 Am의 분배계수를 측정한 결과 Am에 대한 선택적 추출성이 높게 나타났다. Cyanex 301의 비누화을, 수용상의 pH 및 Eu 농도가 높아질수록 Am과 Eu의 상호 분리계수인 S $F_{AM}$Eu/는 930까지 증가되었으나 Cyanex 301에 옥탄올을 첨가할 경우에는 S $F_{Am}$ Eu/는 32.3까지 감소하였으며, Am과 Eu의 추출에 미치는 NaN $O_3$ 농도 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. Cyanex 301에 추출된 Am과 Eu은 pH가 4인 lM NaN $O_3$ 용액으로는 97.7% 그리고 0.05M DTPA/1.5M Lactic acid에 의해서 99% 이상 역추출되었다.
