In the measurement of proton gyromagnetic ratio by a low field cechnique, the compensation of earth's field is required to keep a zero-field space. The constant earth's fild is compensated by a cur-rent flowing through a Helmholtz coil, whereas small time-varying component is compensated automatically by a closed loop of feedback system. A feedback amplifier, and two three-dimensional Helmholtz coils having the same coil constant have been constructed in order to compensate the earth's field. field. Preliminary test performed at the ordinary laboratory showed that the time-vary-ing field of ${\pm}100nT$ and the constant field have been reduced to the level of ${\pm}10nT$ using the compensating system.

The increase in the rearing intensity of pigs has caused deterioration in the pig house's internal environment such as temperature, humidity, ammonia gas, and so on. Traditionally, the widely used method to control the internal environment was through the manipulation of the ventilation system. However, the conventional ventilation system had a limitation to control the internal environment, prevent livestock disease, save energy, and reduce odor emission. To overcome this problem, the air-recirculated ventilation system was suggested. This system has a semi-closed loop ventilation type. For designing this system, it was essential to evaluate the ventilation rates considering the pressure loss of ducts. Therefore, in this study, pressure loss calculation and experiment were conducted for the quantitative ventilation design of a semi-closed loop system. The results of the experiment showed that the inlet through which external air flows should always be opened. In addition, it was also found that for the optimum design of the semi-closed loop ventilation system, it was appropriate to install a damper or a backflow prevention device rather than a ventilation fan.

Long term evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems adopt closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output antenna techniques. Equal gain transmission which has equal gain property is the key factor in their codebook design. In this paper, a novel differential codebook structure which maintains the codebook design requirements of LTE or LTE-A systems. Especially, eight-phase shift keying (8-PSK) constellations are used as elements of codewords, which not only maintain equal gain property but also reduce the computation complexity of precoding and decoding function blocks. The equal gain property is very important to uplink because the performance of uplink is very sensitive to the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Moreover, the operation of the proposed differential codebook is explained as a rotation-lock structure. As the results of computer simulations, the steady-state throughput performance of the proposed codebook shows at least 0.9dB of SNR better than those of the conventional LTE codebook with the same amount of feedback information.

The objective of current study is to develop an optimization technique for the seismic actively controlled building structures using active tendon devices by an efficient solution of LQR control gain. In order to solve the active control system, the Ricatti closed-loop algorithm has been applied, and the state vector has been formulated by the transfer matrix and solved by a numerical technique of the trapezoidal rule. The time-delay problem has been also considered by phase compensation. To optimize the performance index, the ratio of the weighted matrix is the design variable, allowable story drift limits of IBC 2000 and tendon forces have been applied as restraint conditions, and the optimum control program has been developed with the algorithm of the SUMT technique. In examples of the optimization problem of eight stories shear buildings, it is evaluated that the optimum controlled building is more suitable in the control of earthquake response than the uncontrolled system and can reduce the performance index to compare with the controlled system with a constant ratio of the weighted matrix.

Soil $CO_2$ emission is one of the primary components in carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems. To accurately assess their net ecosystem exchange of $CO_2$ and net primary production, measurement of soil $CO_2$ efflux is required along with that of canopy $CO_2$ flux. In this paper, soil $CO_2$ flux measurement technique using closed dynamic chamber systems is briefly reviewed. Preliminary results on soil $CO_2$ exchange and inter-comparison of different measurement systems currently used in Korean regional network of tower flux measurement sites (KoFlux) are also reported.

공작기계로 금속을 절삭할 때 공작기계의 불안정, 즉 자려진동의 발생은 절삭과정과 공작기계구조 두 요소의 동적 거동에 기인한다. 공작기계의 채터와 구조의 동적인 거동은 모든 금속가공에서 가공물의 표면조도와 공구수명, 공작기계의 수명에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이와 같은 채터와 동적인 거동을 해석함으로써 최적의 절삭 조건을 결정할 수 있으나, 이러한 연구에서 가장 어려운 점은 기계구조와 절삭과정이 폐회를 구성하고 있기 때문이다.

A magnetic shutter gear is a device that transfers mechanical power by synchronizing the magnetic field between permanent magnet layers facing circumferentially through a harmonic modulator. However, magnetic gears uses many rare-earth permanent magnets to guarantee comparable torque density to that of mechanical reducer. Hence, we propose a novel axial magnetic gear with a dramatically reduced number of permanent magnets and a closed magnetic path. The torque of the system was compared to that of an existing shutter gear through a harmonic analysis of the air-gap magnetic field. The modulator thickness and open ratio were considered as the primary design parameters, and the cogging effect was analyzed for variation of the reduction ratio. A dynamic model between the high-speed side and low-speed side was derived, and position control was performed for a constructed hardware implementation.

In operating the underwater engines such as encountered in exploring submarines, the dumping of the exhaust gas out of the engine requires a large portion of the total power, frequently amounting to 25-30% of the power generated. This unfavorable circumstance can be cured by liquefying the exhaust gas and storing it. In the present study, two liquefaction systems were simulated to enhance the overall efficiency; one is a closed cycle diesel engine and the other is a closed cycle LNG engine. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) is chosen as a fuel, not only because its use is economical but also because its cold energy can be utilized within the liquefaction system. Since a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide is used as an oxidizer, liquefying carbon dioxide is of major concern in this study. For further improving this system, the intercooling of the compressor is devised. The necessary power consumed for the liquefying system is examined in terms of the related properties such as pressure and temperature of the carbon dioxide vessel as a function of the amount of the exhaust gas which enters the compressor. The present study was successful to show that much gain in the power and reduction of the vessel pressure could be achieved in the case of the closed cycle LNG engine. The compression power of exhaust gas were observed remarkably lower, typically only 6.3% for the closed cycle diesel engine and 3.4% for the closed cycle LNG engine respectively, out of net engine power. For practicality, a design -purpose map of the operating parameters of the liquefaction systems was also presented.

Cerebellar ataxia is a steadily progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with loss of motor control, leaving patients unable to walk, talk, or perform activities of daily living. Direct motor instruction in cerebella ataxia patients has limited effectiveness, presumably because an inappropriate closed-loop cerebellar response to the inevitable observed error confounds motor learning mechanisms. Recent studies have validated the age-old technique of employing motor imagery training (mental rehearsal of a movement) to boost motor performance in athletes, much as a champion downhill skier visualizes the course prior to embarking on a run. Could the use of EEG based BCI provide advanced biofeedback to improve motor imagery and provide a "backdoor" to improving motor performance in ataxia patients? In order to determine the feasibility of using EEG-based BCI control in this population, we compare the ability to modulate mu-band power (8-12 Hz) by performing a cued motor imagery task in an ataxia patient and healthy control.

원자력발전의 고유한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 집적폐회로형 AMBIDEXTER 원자력시스템 개념을 제안하였다. 이 복합시스템은 일체형 원자로를 중심으로 열/에너지 변환회로와 방사선/물질 수송회로를 서로 독립적으로 구성하므로 최소 방사선 위험부담 아래서 원자력에너지의 잇점을 극대화하는 설계이다. 특히 방사선/물질 수송회로로부터 분리된 고준위 방사성 폐기물에서 고부가가치 동위원소나 방사선원을 선별적으로 용이하게 추출, 활용할 수 있다. 원자로 계통은 얇고 큰 Hastelloy 합금 원자로용기 내부를 노심, 침니, 열교환기, 다운캄어 및 입구플레넘 콤파트먼트로 분할하여 배관이나 벨브관이 없으므로 기기파손으로 인한 방사성물질의 대량 외부 누출은 불가능하다. Th/233U 용융염핵연료의 핵물리 및 열수력학적 특성을 살려 AMBIDEXTER 노심의 핵적 자활성 설계에 융통성을 부여하는 변성핵연료주기를 도입하면 핵연료자원의 공급 안정화나 핵확산방지의 투명성 제고에 큰 효과가 있다. AMBIDEXTER 설계연구에 관련된 핵심기술들은 일찍이 미국 ORNL에서 시작한 MSR 프로그램을 통해 개발되어 이미 대부분 상용화하고 있기 때문에 현재 추진 중인 250 MWth급 원형로 모듈의 개념개발에서는 주로 시스템 통합에 관한 문제들이 중점적으로 다루어진다.
