The modified TOPMODEL of two storage systems has been integrated to the generalized assumptions of decreasing hydraulic conductivity to vertical direction. Three different recharge functions were introduced to explore the impact of the macropore flow to vortical direction, the storage at the surface zone and the relative storage deficit of the soil matrix. Combinations of these approaches provide 30 type of the model structure for the hillslope hydrology. Developed models have been applied to several hydrologic events at the Sulmachun watershed. The performance evaluation with the Monte carlo simulation suggests that the exponential function of transmissivity reduction should be appropriate form for the physically -based hydrologic simulation on the Sulmachun watershed. It has been shown that the recharge function of macropore flow contributes to improve the predictability of the generalized version of modified TOPMODEL.

In subsea tunnelling, prediction of the fractured zone (or water bearing zone) ahead of tunnel face saturated by seawater with high water pressure has been a key factor for safe construction. This study verified the feasibility of utilizing induced polarization (IP) survey at tunnel face for predicting the ground condition ahead of the subsea tunnel face. A pore model was proposed to compute chargeability in granular material, and the relationship correlating chargeability with the variables affecting the chargeability was derived from the model. Parametric study has been performed on the variables to figure out the most influential factors affecting the chargeability. The results of the parametric study show that the size of narrow pores ($r_1$) and the salinity of pore water are the most influential factors on chargeability. Laboratory tests were conducted on various types of ground condition by changing the salinity of pore water, the thickness of the fracture zone and the existence of gouge (weathered granite) within the joints of the fractured zone to figure out the effect of the ground characteristics on the IP phenomenon. Test results show that the chargeability of the fractured zone saturated by seawater increases if the joints in the fractured zone are filled with gouge since the infilled gouge will decrease the size of narrow pores ($r_1$).

In this study, in order to utilize waste concrete powder(WCP) which is occurred in manufacturing high quality recycled aggregate as an admixture for self-compacting concrete(SCC), the properties of cement paste, mortar, and concrete that were mixed two types of WCP, 928 and 1,360 $cm^2/g$ of surface area, were analyzed. As a result of experiment, we have found that WCP was a porous material with angle. When WCP was utilized as an admixture for SCC, its flowability and viscosity increased in proportion to the increase of a replacement ratio, and that a replacement ratio of WCP was proper within 15%. The compressive strength at 28 days mixed respectively with WCP2, 15 and 30%, showed about 36 and 28 MPa, and it showed a similar trend with a function suggested in CEB-FIP for the relationship of compressive strength and elastic modulus. According to the results, it is judged that WCP2 can be utilized as an mineral admixture of normal strength SCC.

태양열 발전 플랜트에 사용되는 중고온 범위의 축열조에 고체-액체간 상변화를 수행하는 용융염을 축열물질로 사용하면 액체상 또는 고체상만으로 된 열저장 매체에 비해 축열조의 규모를 축소함과 동시에 축열온도의 균일성 향상에 기여할 수 있다. 중온인 $250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 이용 가능한 용융염으로는 질산칼륨($KNO_3$), 질산리튬($LiNO_3$)등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 용융염의 가장 큰 단점은 열전도율이 매우 낮다는 것이며, 이로 인해 요구되는 열전달률을 성취하기 위해서는 많은 열접촉면적이 필요하다는 것이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하는 방법을 도입하지 않고서는 축열시스템의 소규화를 성취하는데 큰 효과를 가져올 수 없다. 한편 열수송 성능이 탁월한 히트파이프를 사용하면 열원 및 열침과 축열물질 사이의 열전달 효율을 증가시켜 시스템의 성능 향상과 동시에 소규모화에 기여할 수 있다. 중온 범위 히트파이프의 작동유체로서 다우섬-A(Dowtherm-A)는 $150^{\circ}C$이상 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 범위에서 소수에 불과한 선택적 대안 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용융염을 사용하는 중온 태양열축열조에 적용 가능한 다우섬-A 히트파이프의 성능을 파악하여 기술적 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 열원으로는 고온 고압의 과열증기, 그리고 열침으로는 중온의 포화증기를 고려하였다. 용융염 축열조를 수직으로 관통하는 히트파이프는 하단부에서 열원 증기와 열교환 가능하며, 중앙부에서 축열물질과 열교환하고, 상단부에서는 중온 증기와 접촉할 수 있도록 배치하였다. 축열모드에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 증발부로 작동하고, 중앙부가 응축부로 작동하여 용융염으로 열을 방출하면 용융염의 온도가 상승하고 용융점에 도달하면 액상으로의 상변화가 진행되면서 축열이 활성화된다. 축열모드에서 히트파이프의 상단부는 단열부로 작동한다. 방열과정에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 단열된 상태이고, 중앙부는 용융염으로부터 열을 받아 증발부로 작동하며, 상단부는 중온 증기로 열을 방출하므로 응축부로 작동한다. 즉, 축열시스템의 작동모드에 따라 하나의 히트파이프에서 증발부, 응축부, 단열부의 위치가 변하게 된다. 특히, 히트파이프의 중앙 부분이 응축부에서 증발부로 전환될 때에도 작동이 보장되려면 내부 작동유체의 연속적인 재순환이 가능해야 하므로, 일반 히트파이프에서와는 달리 초기 작동액체의 충전량을 증발부 전체의 체적보다 더 많이 과충전해야 한다. 이러한 히트파이프의 성능 파악을 위한 실험에서 고려한 변수들은 열부하, 작동액체의 충전률, 작동온도 등이며, 열수송 성능의 지표로서는 유효열전도율과 열저항을 이용하였다. 중온범위에서 적정한 작동온도를 성취하기 위해 실험에서는 전압 조절기로 열부하를 조절하는 동시에 항온조로 응축부의 냉각수 입구 온도를 제어하였다. 하나의 히트파이프에 대해서 최대 1 kW까지의 열부하에서 냉각수 입구 온도를 $40^{\circ}C$에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 범위로 변화시키면 히트파이프 작동온도를 약 $250^{\circ}C$ 내외로 조절 가능하였다. 히트파이프 작동액체 충전률은 윅구조물의 공극 체적을 기준으로 372%에서 420%까지 변화 시켰다. 실험 결과를 토대로 열저항과 유효 열전도율을 각각 입력 열유속, 작동온도, 작동액체 충전률 등의 함수로 제시했다. 동일한 냉각수 온도에서는 충전률이 높을수록 히트파이프의 작동온도가 감소하였다. 열저항 값의 범위는 최소 $0.12^{\circ}C/W$에서 최대 $0.15^{\circ}C/W$까지로 나타났으며 유효 열전도율의 값은 최소 $7,703W/m{\cdot}K$에서 최대 $8,890W/m{\cdot}K$까지 변화했다. 최소 열저항은 충전률 420%인 경우에 나타났는데 이때의 작동온도는 약 $262^{\circ}C$이었다. 히트파이프의 작동한계로서 드라이아웃(dry-out)은 충전률 372%의 경우에 열부하 950 W에서 발생하였으나, 그 이상의 충전률에서는 열부하 1060 W까지 작동한계 발생이 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서의 히트파이프는 중온 태양열 축열조에 적용되어 개당 약 1 kW의 열부하를 이송하면서 축열물질 및 축방열 대상 유동매체와 열교환을 하는데 사용하는데 충분할 것이라 판단된다.

Effective thermal conductivity of three-phase composites, consisting of matrix and two kinds of spherical inclusions, has been derived as an explicit form by extending modified Eshelby model (MEM) for two-phase composites. The present results are compared with those by differential effective medium model (DEMM), which are also compared with the experimental results of two- and three-phase composites in the literatures to be validated. For two-phase composites, the results by MEM are better than those by DEMM for the inclusion volume fraction smaller than 0.5. Comparisons between the results by two models and experimental results have been made for three-phase composite, resulting in that MEM predicts better than DEMM for smaller volume fraction of the inclusion having larger inclusion-to-matrix thermal conductivity ratio, but DEMM predicts better as its volume fraction increases. It has been observed through parametric study that its volume fraction is the critical factor affecting the deviation of predictions by the two models. The results by them show a good agreement with the three-phase composite proposed by Molina et al..

A new algorithm of constructing binary decision diagram(BDD) for design verification of switch-level circuits is proposed in this paper. In the switch-level circuit, functions are characterized by serial and parallel connections of switches and the final logic values may have high-impedance and unstable states in addition to the logic values of 0 and 1. We extend the BDD to represent functions of switch-level circuits as acyclic graphs so called switch-level binary decision diagram (SLBDD). The function representation of the graph is in the worst case, exponential to the number of inputs. Thus, the ordering of decision variables plays a major role in graph sizes. Under the existence of pass-transistors and domino-logic of precharging circuitry, we also propose an input ordering algorithm for the efficiency in graph sizes. We conducted several experiments on various benchmark circuits and the results show that our algorithm is efficient enough to apply to functional simulation, power estimation, and fault-simulation of switch-level design.

The static electricity generated by friction of two objects is called frictional electricity. The main cause of troubles in electronic components for military and civil use as well as in military radar appliances is found mostly in parts like LSI memories, particularly when they lose information of function momentarily while in operation, which usually leads to a fatal cause of troubles in the equipment. Troubles occur if electric noise is caused by the spark effected from discharge of static electricity from the equipment that is used nearby.

Chemical properties such as heat of formation and density of methylnitroimidazole derivatives were predicted and analyzed by using density functional theory (DFT). Successive addition of energetic nitro groups into an imidazole ring increases both the heat of formation and the density. Using the chemical property values computed by DFT, explosive performance was analyzed with the Cheetah program, and compared with those of TNT, RDX, and HMX, which are currently used widely in military systems. When both C-J pressure and detonation velocity were used as explosive performance, methyldinitroimidazole derivatives show better performance than TNT, while methyltrinitroimidzole is almost close to RDX. Since methylnitroimidazole derivatives have a good merit, i.e. low melting point for melt loading, they are forecasted to be used widely in various military and civilian application.

Improved version of previous 'Orthotropic' closure approximation, termed 'ORW' has been numerically developed using new homogeneous flow data. Previous 'Orthotropic' closure approximation, i.e., ORF or ORL showed non-physical oscillation for interaction coefficient $C_1$<0.001 at simple shear flow. It also shows non-physcial oscillation and under-prediction compared with 'Distribution Function Calculation' at non-homogeneous flow of center-gated disk. These phenomena are mainly due to the flow data of 'Distribution Function Calculation' which were used for least-square optimization. ORW obtained by fitting flow data of low interaction coefficient does not show non-physical oscillation and results in reasonably good behaviors at non-homogeneous flows as well as homogeneous flows. Fitting function forms have not been found to improve overall behaviors. It has been found that considering all the eigenvalues of orientation tensor (including the third eigenvalues) might end up with a better closure approximation than just considering the first and second eigenvalues. It is, however, very important and yet difficult to select appropriate function forms of eigenvalues. Numerical simulation including coupling and in-plane velocity gradient effects were performed for injection mold filing process with a film-gated strip and a center-gated disk using ORW and various other closure approximations for comparisons. Although ORW is in excellent agreement with 'Distribution Function Calculation', the predicted results seem to have consistent error in comparison with experimental data. The diffusivity term with constant interaction coefficient might have to be further investigated in order to accurately describe orientation states.

In the future network such as Internet of Things (IoT), the number of computing devices are expected to grow exponentially, and each of the things communicates with the others and acquires information by itself. Due to the growing interest in IoT applications, the broadcasting in Opportunistic ad-hoc networks such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) is very important transmission strategy which allows fast data dissemination. In distributed networks for IoT, the energy efficiency of the nodes is a key factor in the network performance. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic based probabilistic multi-hop broadcast (FPMCAST) algorithm which statistically disseminates data accordingly to the remaining energy rate, the replication density rate of sending node, and the distance rate between sending and receiving nodes. In proposed FPMCAST, the inference engine is based the fuzzy rule base which is consists of 27 if-then rules. It maps input and output parameters to membership functions of input and output. The output of fuzzy system defines the fuzzy sets for rebroadcasting probability, and defuzzification is used to extract a numeric result from the fuzzy set. Here Center of Gravity (COG) method is used to defuzzify the fuzzy set. Then, the performance of FPMCAST is evaluated through a simulation study. From the simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed FPMCAST algorithm significantly outperforms flooding and gossiping algorithms. Specially, the FPMCAST algorithm has longer network lifetime because the residual energy of each node consumes evenly.
