Monolayers of pure surfactant squaraine, DSSQ(4-distearyl amino phenyl-4'-dimethylaminophenylsquaraine), were deposited on $SnO_2 $ electrodes by the Langmuir-Blodgett film technique. The DSSQ film exhibits ${\lambda}_{max}$ at ∼530 nm. The absorption is significantly red-shifted from the solution of DSSQ (633 nm in chloroform), suggesting that the squaraine chromophores form aggregates in the LB film. The photogeneration of the squaraine aggregates is studied by measuring the photocurrents in photoelectrochemical cells consisting of the squaraine of the aggregates is found to parallel its absorption spectrum and quantum efficiency as high as 0.3% has been observed. While the photocurrent was attenuated exponentially when stearic acid layers (up to 8 layers) are inserted between the squaraine layer and the electrode, it is nearly extinguished when the squaraine layer is over-coated with 2 layers of stearic acid. A model for the observation is proposed and the roles of the electrolytes and oxygen on the photogeneration process will be discussed.

This paper presents the stress and deformation behaviors using the finite element method as a function of the thickness of the helmets without the bead frames on the top of the shell structure. The helmet that would provide head and neck protections without causing discomfort to the user when it was worn for long periods of time should be manufactured for increasing the safety and impact energy absorption. The FEM computed results show that when the impulsive force is applied on the top surface of a helmet, the maximum stress and strain have been occurred around the position of an applied impact force, which may lead to the initial failure on the top surface of the helmet shell. As the helmet thickness is decreased from 4mm to 2mm, the impact energy absorbing rate is radically increased, and the maximum stress of the helmet is increased over the tensile strength, 54.3MPa of the thermoplastic material. Thus, the top surface of the helmet should be supported by a bead frame and increased thickness of the shell structure.

울창한 숲에도 어느 정도 햇빛은 들 듯이, 태양복사에너지는 식생의 잎과 흙에 모두 미치며, 그로 인해 증산과 증발이 각각 발생한다. 이러한 사실을 반영하는 것은 현존하는 증발산 산정 방법을 개선하여 더 나은 증발산 추정치를 구하는 데에 도움이 될 것이다. 이 연구에서는 증발 표면을 수직적으로 흙층(soil layer)과 잎층(canopy layer)으로 나눠진 다층 구조로 바라보고, 각 층에서 증발산을 계산하는 방법을 도입했다. 증발 표면을 수직 상에서 구분했기에 각 층의 환경 조건은 그 층을 대표하는 높이에서 관측된 기상자료를 활용할 수 있다. 또한, 식생 활기에 따른 각 층의 복사에너지 유입량과 기공의 여닫힘에 따른 Bowen 비를 통해 식생이 증발산에 미치는 영향을 반영하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 Fluxnet에서 제공하는 공분산 방법(eddy covariance method)으로 측정한 자료를 참고하여 다층 구조가 실제 증발산 산정에 타당한가를 논했다. 시스템 내 변화는 주어진 조건에서 엔트로피가 최대로 생성되는 방향으로 발생한다는 Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) 이론을 기반으로 만들어진 증발산 산정법을 통해 각 층의 증발산을 계산했으며, 관측 증발산을 토대로 잎층과 흙층에 유입된 복사에너지의 크기를 비교했다. 결과적으로 잎층에 계산된 복사에너지 흡수능이 낙엽수림의 변화 주기를 잘 반영하는 것을 확인했으며 다층 구조를 도입하는 것이 증발산 산정 향상과 수문-식생 관계를 고려한 증발산 분석에 적절한 접근법임을 보였다.

Parametric study on submerged body shape of an oscillating hemisphere point absorber was conducted to predict the optimal relation between radius and draft of the body. As an additional damping due to power takeoff system, the optimal damping same as wave radiation damping was applied to the PTO system to produce the maximum wave power. Body response spectrum and power spectrum were obtained for various peak frequencies on wave spectra. It was found that the maximum power can be generated when the peak frequency of available wave power was 20% greater than that of wave spectrum.

Excess application of paper mill sludge (PMS) in field can limit phosphorus uptake by crops because aluminum presented in the sludge can fix or adsorb available phosphorus which is necessary for crop growth. To investigate phosphorus (P) adsorption characteristics of PMS, we examined P adsorption maximum $(X_m)$ using Langmuir isotherm and P adsorption energy constant $(K_f)$ using Freundlich isotherm for PMS without alum, PMS with alum, and composted PMS with alum through a laboratory incubation test. The maximum P adsorption capacities were 800 ${\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ in soil, 47 $mg\;g^{-1}$ in PMS without alum and 61 $mg\;g^{-1}$ in PMS with alum. P adsorption capacity with alum treatment for PMS increased by 30%. That of PMS compost was 68 $mg\;g^{-1}$ and showed that composting increases 11% of P adsorption. Freundlich constant $K_f$ was 22 in check soil, while $K_f$ values in PMS without alum and in PMS with alum were 398 and 426, respectively. After composting, $K_f$ value of PMS compost significantly increased as 1,819. In conclusions, p adsorption capacity for PMS were increased by alum treatment or composting and therefore excess or continuous land application of alum-amended or composted PMS can limit P uptake for crops by reducing available P in sell.

In order to further elucidate the process of electron solvation in liquids, the medium effect, as the difference between the free energy of $H^+$ in aqueous and non-aqueous states (${\Delta}{\Delta}G_0$), of THF-water mixtures has been investigated. (${\Delta}{\Delta}G_0$) were determined by electromotive force masurements of the cell Pt$H_2Q$, Q, HCI, THF, $H_2O$|KC1 | $Hg_2Cl_2$|Hg(Pt), where $H_2Q$ and Q are hydroquinone and quinone respectively. The effect of dielectric constant on the difference of free energy and the absorption energy of solvated electrons have been studied. For the consideration of these effect the polymerization of water in THF has been studied. Near infrared spectrum of O-H stetching energy has been used to measure the extent of water aggregates. The expermental results indicate that at least in some composition of binary mixtures the electrons or other ions are solvated preferentially with one component of solvents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the bead shape on the crash performance of an aluminum crash box under a low-velocity impact condition. The initial peak load and impact energy absorption of a crash box with three types of bead shapes-edge concave, surface convex, and surface concave type-were studied through an FE analysis and an experiment. In addition, the effects of the bead shapes on the crash performance of the crash box were verified through a low-velocity-impact test with a front side member assembled with an aluminum crash box. The initial peak load of the surface-concave-type crash box was reduced by the bead, and therefore, deformation of the front side member at initial contact could be prevented. Furthermore, there was no deformation of the front side member after the impact test because the crash box with a surface-concave-type bead absorbed all the impact energy.

We estimated and compared C storages and annual $CO_2$ uptakes by 9 dominant tree species planted along the streets. DBH and age by tree species were measured in the sites selected considering the planting status and distributions of tree species, and biomass, C storage, growth rate, and annual $CO_2$ uptake were estimated for each species. As a result, L. tulipifera, M. glyptostroboides, P. occidentalis were classified into fast-growing group, P. serrulata, G. biloba, Z. serrata, S. japonica, A. palmatum showed intermediate growth rates, and P. densiflora was slow-growing. Average C storage per tree was 205kgC/tree and ranged from 518kgC/tree(L. tulipifera) to 41kgC/tree(P. densiflora). Average annual $CO_2$ uptake by urban street trees over their lifespan ranged from $7.6kgCO_2$/tree/y to $99.1kgCO_2$/tree/y and L. tulipifera was the greatest, followed by glyptostroboides and P. occidentalis, and P. densiflora was the lowest. Total annual $CO_2$ uptake by all street trees in Gyeonggi-do, estimated based on the annual $CO_2$ uptake by each species, was as small as approximately 0.67% of that by forest in Gyeonggi-do. However, urban trees are still important because forest area continues to decrease and urbanization occurs annually in Gyeonggi-do, and should be managed considering their multi-functional aspects, including mitigation of heat island effect and building energy saving(indirect $CO_2$ uptake).

If a node stops functioning in an ad-hoc wireless network, routing paths involving the node will also fail, when construction of replacement routes is required. A major cause of node failure is energy exhaustion, and route replacements may in turn lead to successive node failures by making more nodes consume their energy. The result could be performance degradation of networks. Therefore it is important to ensure that nodes with limited remaining energy are not included in route construction from the beginning. In this paper we propose a new routing protocol, which takes residue energy of nodes into account in order to prevent node failures resulting from energy shortage. Our routing protocol examines the smallest value of node residue energy ($E_{m}$) from each of all possible routing paths and selects the path which has the largest value of $E_{m}$. We prove, through simulation, that our routing protocol extends the lifetime of nodes which have limited amount of energy, reducing chances of path replacement. It is also shown that our proposed protocol helps alleviate network performance degradation.

In this study, an absorption power cycle, which can be used for a low-temperature heat source driven power cycle such as geothermal power generation, was investigated and optimized in terms of power by the simulation method. A steady-state simulation model was adopted to analyze and optimize its performance. Simulations were carried out for the given heat source and sink inlet temperatures, and the given flow rates were based on the typical power plant thermal-capacitance-rate ratio. The cycle performance was evaluated for two independent variables: the ammonia fraction at the separator inlet and the maximum cycle pressure. Results showed that the absorption power cycle can generate electricity up to about 14 kW per 1 kg/s of heat source when the heat source temperature, heat sink temperature, and thermal-capacitance-rate ratio are $100^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and 5, respectively.
