In order to purify 2-methylnaphthalene as main impurity included in naphthalene, SLE (solid-liquid equilibria) on two components system including naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene were measured and a layered melt crystallization has been studied. SLE in the present system is shown a simple eutectic mixture and the experimental results using DSC method is similar to the static method. Purity and yield of naphthalene in crystal depended mainly on the cooling rate: Increasing cooling rate, the purity of naphthalene in crystal increase, whereas the yield of that decrease. The effective distribution coefficient (Keff) as the degree of impurity removal was observed to decrease with decreasing of cooling rate. Therefore, the purity of naphthalene by melt crystallization can be enhanced to 5~7 %.

This paper describes the design of a size-reduced ring hybrid coupler for microwave band using an artificial dielectric substrate(ADS). ADS structure adopts the second substrate on which has lots of the metalized via-holes. The effective capacitance and effective dielectric constant per unit length of ADS increases compared to the normal substrate due to the via-holes. This enables the physical length of microstrip transmission line to be reduced by adopting ADS instead of the normal substrate. In order to present an example of size-reduction of microwave wireless circuit by ADS, a size-reduced 3GHz ring hybrid coupler is designed, fabricated and measured in this work. The designed coupler has the smaller size from the normal one by 65% due to the ADS, while no critical degradation from ideal performances is observed. The measured power division ratio at two output ports are -3.05dB and -3.135dB, respectively. In addition, the phase differences are 3o for in-phase division and 176o for out of phase split. The measured performances are so similar to ideal ones, and prove the design of size-reduced ring hybrid coupler using ADS is successful.

We perform a series of experimental tests to evaluate whether the shear strength of clean sands can be reliably predicted from shear wave velocity. Isotropic drained triaxial tests on clean sands reconstituted at different relative densities are performed to measure the shear strength and bender elements are used to measure the shear wave velocity. Laboratory tests reveal that a correlation between shear wave velocity, void ratio, and confining pressure can be made. The correlation can be used to determine the void ratio from measured shear wave velocity, from which the shear strength is predicted. We also show that a unique relationship exists between maximum shear modulus and effective axial stress at failure. The accuracy of the equation can be enhanced by including the normalized confining pressure in the equation. Comparisons between measured and predicted effective friction angle demonstrate that the proposed equation can accurately predict the internal friction angle of granular soils, accounting for the effect of the relative density, from shear wave velocity.

Recently, drones have been widely used to solve environmental problems such as environmental protection and natural disaster monitoring. This study focuses on the problem of the search altitude of drones when using drones to search for air pollution in order to maintain the urban air environment. In particular, when exploring air pollution in cities using drones, various experiments are conducted to determine the appropriate search altitude for each air pollution source and each communication module. Through the experiment, the maximum measurable altitude for the most common air pollutants, such as CO (carbon monoxide), NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide), O₃ (ozone), and P10, P2.5 (fine dust), was identified, and the effective search altitude for each air pollution source was determined. As a result of the experiment, three types of drone search altitudes including legally measurable altitudes were suggested. The communication module measurable altitude was 60m to 120m depending on the communication module, and the effective measurable altitude was analyzed from 10m to 100m.

In real-time power system control, it is essential to measure the power system variables which are voltage, current, real and reactive power, power factor, system frequency and etc. These variables can be estimated or calculated by the synchronized phasor informations of voltage and current. Therefore, the synchronized phasor measurement of voltage and current is very important to real-time power system control. So, we develop SPMD (Synchronized Phasor Measurement Device) for synchronized phasor measurement of voltage and current. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of SPMD for real-time phasor measurement and the test results of developed SPMD on 380 V 3 phase distribution line in laboratory with resistor load and RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator).

소프트웨어 품질 측정은 소프트웨어 공학의 필수적인 요소이다. 소프트웨어 품질 척도 중 하나인 결합도는 모듈간의 얼마나 강하게 연결되어있는지를 나타낸다. 결합도는 소프트웨어의 결함-경향성, 모듈화, 재사용성, 변경-경향성 등 다양한 목적으로 사용된다. 기존의 결합도 척도들은 메소드호출 횟수에 의해서 결정되는데, 이는 메소드의 가중치를 고려하지 않기 때문에 결합도를 정확히 측정 하지 못한다. 본 논문은 페이지랭크 알고리즘을 이용하여 메소드의 가중치를 측정하고, 이를 이용한 결합도 척도 개선 방법에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여, 4 개의 오픈 소스 프로젝트를 대상으로 기존의 방법과 개선된 방법으로 결합도 척도 3 개를 측정하였다. 개선된 결합도 3 개는 유지보수의 척도로 사용되는 변경-경향성(Change-Proneness)과의 상관계수가 기존의 결합도 척도에 비하여 눈의 띄게 향상되었다. 따라서 개선된 결합도 척도는 소프트웨어 품질을 더 정확하게 측정할 수 있다.

한의 복진은 복부를 검사하기 위해 수행되지만 정량화되지는 않았다. 이 연구의 목표는 소화불량의 주요 증상인 흉협고만이 있는 그룹과 아닌 그룹 사이에 유의하게 차이나는 복부 측정기기의 변수를 식별하는 것이다. 정량적인 진단을 위해 규칙에 따라 구획한 복부를 적외선 열화상 카메라, 디지털 압통기, 3D 카메라 및 디지털 청진기를 포함한 기기로 측정하였다. 연구방법으로 임상연구를 수행하여 한의사들이 진단한 복부 증상인 흉협고만과의 일치도를 조사하였다. 기기 측정 중 깊이, 압력, 깊이에 대한 압력의 비율은 흉협고만 그룹이 비 흉협고만 그룹보다 유의하게 작았다. 따라서 물리적 압통 특성이 감소하고, 복부 경직도가 감소하며, 민감도가 증가했다. 좌측과 우측 늑골 사이의 거리, 흉늑골 각도는 흉협고만 환자에서 유의하게 더 컸다. 또한, 깊이 차이, 표면 법선 벡터 및 깊이 값 사이의 각도 차이는 흉협고만 그룹에서 대부분 작았다. 복부 측정기기는 다양한 질환 및 증상에 사용될 것으로 기대한다.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of diagnostic range for BMD measurement tools(DEXA, QUS, and RA) to health examination in transitional ages. In standard T-score -2.5 of DEXA, cutoff value by RA is -1.675(sensitivity: 70.0%, specificity: 63.7%) and cutoff value by QUS is -1.733(sensitivity: 70.4, specificity: 59.5%), also T-score -3.0 of DEXA, cutoff value by RA is -2.325(sensitivity: 70.0%, specificity: 42.9%) and cutoff value by QUS is -2.323(sensitivity: 70.4, specificity: 56.8%). There was, however, no significant difference in standard DEXA(lumbar spine and femur) between RA and QUS by repeat measurement(precision), and correlation were without effect. ROC analysis showed that all methods are qualified for BMD measurement tools to health examination in transitional ages; however, the different sensitivities and specificities of the methods, as well as age and gender, calibration parameters for diagnostic tests have to be considered.

To improve the performance of a launch vehicle, kerosene, a launch vehicle fuel, undergoes a densification process. Liquid nitrogen injection cooling is an effective densification method which has a simple system and is inexpensive. During the cooling process, however, nitrogen may dissolve in the kerosene, possibly resulting in changes to fuel properties. Therefore, it is essential to measure and eliminate the amount of dissolved nitrogen in the kerosene. In this study, the vacuum extraction principle is introduced to measure the content of dissolved nitrogen in the kerosene. In addition, the experimental results, which used a designed/manufactured nitrogen sampling device, are described. From the results, the validity of the nitrogen sampling device and the dissolved nitrogen measurement/elimination methods was demonstrated.
