전기추력기는 화학식 추력기에 비해 비추력이 높아 인공위성의 자세제어, 궤도수정, 궤도천이를 포함한 행성 탐사활동 및 우주 임무수행을 위한 우주선의 엔진 등으로 다양하게 활용된다. 홀 추력기는 전기추력기 중 하나로 고리형 방전공간을 가진 고리형 추력기와 원통형 방전영역을 가진 원통형 추력기가 있으며, 원통형 추력기는 고리형에 비하여 넓은 방전공간으로 저전력 방전에 적합한 추력기이다. 또한, 저전력 추력기는 큐브셋(cubesat) 및 마이크로 위성(microsatellite)의 증가하는 수요에 따라 필요성이 증가하고 있으며, 활용도가 높아 다양하게 연구 및 개발되고 있다. 홀 추력기는 자기장과 전기장을 서로 수직되게 인가하여, 자화된 전자는 플라즈마 방전을 유지시키고 자화되지 않은 이온은 전기장 방향으로 가속되어 이온빔을 발생시킨다. 하지만, 저전력 소형 추력기는 작은 소모전력과 방전채널로 인한 성능 저하 및 자기장 구조 설계 등 많은 어려움들을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 약 50 W급의 소모전력을 바탕으로 영구자석을 이용한 저전력 플라즈마 추력기를 개발하였다. 방전 채널은 지름 15 mm, 길이 16 mm, 무게는 약 0.6 kg으로 원통형 구조의 채널로 제작되었으며, 약 1500-2000 G의 자기장 세기를 갖도록 설계하였다. 방전 기체는 제논을 사용하여 1-5 sccm영역에서 방전 특성을 살펴보았으며, 방전 전류는 0.02-0.4 A로 나타났다. 100-550 V영역에서 방전을 시도하였고, 채널길이를 16-24 mm 에서 약 1mN 급의 추력특성을 보였다. 본 발표에서, 홀 추력기의 제작 특성과 성능 및 플라즈마 특성에 대한 더 자세한 연구결과가 발표될 예정이다.

In determining the performance of OLAP database applications, the structure and the effective access methods to the underlying disk system is a significant factor. In recent years, hard disks are designed with multiple physical zones where seek times and data transfer rates vary across the zones. However, there is little consideration of multi-zone disks in previous works. Instead, they assumed a traditional disk model that comes with many simplifying assumptions such as an average seek-time and a single data transfer rate. In this paper, we propose a technique storing a set of materialized views into the multi-zoned disks in OLAP environment dealing with large sets of data. We first present the disk zoning algorithm of materialized views according to the access probabilities of each views. Also, we address the problem of storing views in the dynamic environment where data are updated continuously. Finally, through experiments, we prove the performance improvement of the proposed algorithm against the conventional methods.

This paper introduces the Parallel Advanced Loosely coupled Multiprocessor (PALM) architecture, which is based on HCH(m,p), where m is number of links per a communication processor (CP) and p is the number of application processors (APs) connected to the CP. communication links between a pair of CPs and/or between a CP and an AP, are made of dual-Port RAMs, which provide fast and reliable word-parallel communication between processors. Among the wide spectrum of HCH networks, HCH(m,2) is also known to be a cost optimal topology, such that HCH(m,2) consists of the largest number of APs retaining the minimal number of CPs and communication links. We also implement a testbed based on HCH(2,2). The experiment result shows that the small communication/computation ratio of the PALM system would realize fine-grain parallelism on message-passing MIMD systems.

In this paper, review of developed MLS-based finite elements and a proposal for their applications are described. The shape functions and their derivatives of MLS-based finite elements are constructed using Moving-Least Square approximation. In MLS-based finite element, using the adequate influence domain of weight function used in MLS approximation, kronecker delta condition could be satisfied at the element boundary. Moreover, because of the characteristics of MLS approximation, we could easily add extra nodes at an arbitrary position in MLS-based finite elements. For these reasons, until now, several variable-node elements(2D variable element for linear case and quadratic case and 3D variable-node elements) and finite crack elements are developed using MLS-based finite elements concept. MLS-based finite elements could be extended to 2D variable-node triangle element, 2D finite crack triangle element, variable-node shell element, finite crack shell element, and 3D polyhedron element. In this paper, we showed the feasibility of 3D polyhedron element at the case of femur meshing.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and compare 'Game Activities' of elementary mathematics textbooks developed in the national curriculum revised in 2015, and to find suggestions to improve 'Game Activities' of the textbooks based on the results. The main results of this study are as follows. First, as for materials, various types of materials were used in 'Game Activities'. Also, more various materials were included in 2nd grade textbooks and 1st, 2nd grade teacher's guidebooks than 1st grade textbooks. Second, this study analyzed the patterns of organization. The result showed that group and pair activities accounted for the highest rate among other patterns of organizations. Textbooks should include more pattern types of organizations that teachers could use them properly according to numbers of students in classes. For the 'Game Activities', students need to understand basic concepts of the chapter first. Students with lower levels would have difficulty participating in the 'Game Activities'. Thus, there is a need to include activities for students with lower levels in teachers' guidebooks, reflecting a variety of students levels.

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) generally do not have high heat conversion efficiencies. The performance of a thermoelectric generator module depends on the shape of the legs as well as the properties of the material and the number of legs. In this study, the leg shapes of thermoelectric elements are modeled into various geometric structures such as cylinder and cube shaped to efficiently harvest waste heat, and the electrical characteristics are compared numerically. The temperature gradient and power generation according to the bridge shape are found to be highest at the existing Cube shape. As a result of comparing the power generation using the cooling effect, the Cone shape was the highest in natural convection and the Hourglass shape was highest in forced convection. Research results confirm that geometry can affect the efficiency of thermoelectric generators.

A sampling-based approach was devised as a nuclear seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) method to account for the partially correlated relationships between components. However, since this method is based on sampling, there is a limitation that a large number of samples must be extracted to estimate the results accurately. Thus, in this study, we suggest an effective approach to improve the existing sampling method. The main features of this approach are as follows. In place of the existing Monte Carlo sampling (MCS) approach, the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method that enables effective sampling in multiple dimensions is introduced to the SPRA method. In addition, the degree of segmentation of the seismic intensity is determined with respect to the final seismic risk result. By applying the suggested approach to an actual nuclear power plant as an example, the accuracy of the results were observed to be almost similar to those of the existing method, but the efficiency was increased by a factor of two in terms of the total number of samples extracted. In addition, it was confirmed that the LHS-based method improves the accuracy of the solution in a small sampling region.

The Pyramid-Technique is based on mapping n-dimensional space data into one-dimensional data and expressing it as B-tree ; and by solving the problem of search time complexity the pyramid technique also prevents the effect \"phenomenon of dimensional curse\" which is caused by treatment of hypercube range query in n-dimensional data space. The Spherical Pyramid-Technique applies the pyramid method’s space division strategy, uses spherical range query and improves the search performance to make it suitable for similarity search. However, depending on the size of data and change in dimensions, the two above technique demonstrate significantly inferior search performance for data sizes greater than one million and dimensions greater than sixteen. In this paper, we propose a new index-structured PdR-Tree to improve the search performance for high dimensional data such as multimedia data. Test results using simulation data as well as real data demonstrate that PdR-Tree surpasses both the Pyramid-Technique and Spherical Pyramid-Technique in terms of search performance.

MEMS based solid propellant thruster researched for the purpose of an academic research will be verified at space environment through CubeSat program. For this, the temperature of the MEMS thruster should be within allowable operating temperature range by proper thermal control to prevent the ignition failure caused by ignition time delay and to guarantee the structural safety of the MEMS thruster in the low temperature. In this study, we proposed an effective thermal control strategy, that is to use micro-igniter as a heater and temperature sensor for active thermal control instead of using additional heater. The effectiveness of the strategy has been verified through on-orbit thermal analysis of CubeSats with MEMS thruster.
