Cascade summing occurs when two gamma-rays emitted in the decay of a single nucleus both deposit energy in a detector. The effect may cause systematic errors that can reach levels of more than ten percent for some radionuclides. A method for estimation of the effect of these coincidences was developed. It is based on direct computation of the effect by means of peak to total ratio measured for the place around the detector. It has been shown that the P/T ratio for the given energy in the working space around the detector may not be a constant value and must use its mean value. Some results from a peak to total calibration study in the presence of scattering materials are also given.

The frequency variation among speakers is one of problems in the speech recognition. This paper applies fuzzy theory to solve the variation problem of frequency features. Reference patterns are expressed by fuzzified patterns which are produced by the peak frequency and the peak energy extracted from codebooks which are generated from training words uttered by several speakers, as they should include common features of speech signals. Words are recognized by fuzzy inference which uses the certainty factor between the reference patterns and the test fuzzified patterns which are produced by the peak frequency and the peak energy extracted from the power spectrum of input speech signals. Practically, in computing the certainty factor, to reduce memory capacity and computation requirements we propose a new equation which calculates the improved certainty factor using only the difference between two fuzzy values. As a result of experiments to test this word recognition method by fuzzy interence with Korean digits, it is shown that this word recognition method using the new equation presented in this paper, can solve the variation problem of frequency features and that the memory capacity and computation requirements are reduced.

In the presence of SDS(sodium dodecyl sulfate), effect of $Ca^{2+}$on the interaction of NP-40EO[nonylphenol-(ethylene oxide)40] with iodine in aqueous solution were investigated by UV-visible spectrophotometer. In the presence of SDS, the intensity of interaction peaks were decreased and markedly increased by the addition of $Ca^{2+}$. Decrease of interaction peaks is caused by decrease of EO number to be interact with iodine per unit surface area of mixed micelle to the insertion of SDS and increase is attributed to the compactness of micelle in the presence of $Ca^{2+}$. These phenomena may be explained by the fact that the linear EO (ethylene oxide) chains, to be free in aqueous solution, could form a pseudo-crown ether structures of forming with $Ca^{2+}$ion.

Sodium and zinc salts of poly(ethyaene-co-methacrylic acid) ionomers consist of three phases, i.e. ionic aggregates, amorphous, and crystalline phases. Dye molecules after soaked from the methanol solution are located near the amorphous phase or ionic aggregates within ionomer films. Depending on the location of the molecules in the ionomer film, they are under influence of dispersion forces (ethylene parts), polar forces (acid parts). and ionic dipole (ionic aggregates) interactions. The UV/Vis absorption peak of Nile Red under the dispersion force is found at near 500 nm, for the dye under the polar force effect 525 nm, and 550 and 610 nm for the dyes under $Na^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ionization effects, respectively. Since the divalent $Zn^{2+}$ ion has larger ionic dipole than the monovalent $Na^+$ ion, the larger red-shift of the absorption band due to the ionic dipole interaction is observed for $Zn^{2+}$ counter ion.

황강에는 1989년 합천다목적댐과 본댐 하류 6.5km 지점에 조정지댐이 건설되었는데 조정지댐의 건설 목적은 본댐에서 피크 발전에 의해 방류되는 유량을 하류로 조절방류하기 위한것이다. 황강은 두댐의 건설후 하천폭, 하상재료, 식생 및 하천구간내 사주의 형성 등 많은 하천 지형학적 변화가 있었다. 이러한 변화는 댐 건설후 흐름 및 유사이송의 변화에 기인한다. 2002년 합천댐 저수지 퇴사량 조사에 의하면 합천댐은 연간 약 600천$m^3$의 유사를 차단한 것으로 파악되었다. 조정지댐은 연최대피크 방류량을 654.7$m^3/s$에서 126.3$m^3/s$로 감소시켰는데 이는 댐건설전의 19.3%에 해당하는 양이다. 댐건설로 인한 하류 하천의 지형적인 변화를 파악하기 위하여 합천조정지댐 하류로부터 낙동강 합류점까지 45 km에 대하여 조사하였다. 1982, 1993 및 2004년의 항공사진을 분석한 결과 비식생하도폭(non-vegetated active channel width)은 평균 152m 감소되었는데 이는 1982년의 약 53%에 해당한다. 비식생하도의 면적 역시 평균 6.6$km^2$가 감소하였다. 평균 중앙하상재료(D50)의 크기는 1983년 1.07mm에서 2003년 5.72mm로 증가한 반면 평균 하상구배는 1983년 0.000943에서 2003년 0.000847로 감소하였다. 총 하상 세굴깊이는 조정지댐 하류 20km 구간에서 평균 약 2.6m였다. 1차원 유사모형인 GSTAR-1D를 이용하여 예측된 최심하상고는 2013-2015년 사이 (댐건설후 약 25년 후)에 안정된 상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다. 합천 조정지댐이 본 댐에서의 피크 방류량을 상당히 감소시키고 있지만 홍수기에 조정지댐 수문의 급격하고 주기적인 개폐로 인하여 하류에 흐름의 펄스를 발생시키고 있다. 이러한 펄스가 하류 하천 지형변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 유사모형과 해석적인 방법을 개발 적용하여 구한 값과 비교 검토 하였다. 결과에 따르면, 일 흐름의 펄스(daily pulse)와 홍수피크(flood peak)는 각각의 평균값이 흐를 때와 비교하여 하천지형변화에 훨씬 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일 흐름 펄스와 홍수피크는 각각의 평균값의 21%와 15%의 토사 이송량 (tons/day) 증가를 보여주었다.

In this paper, we estimate the effects of the two most important means of summer time demand side management in Korean power market: adjustment of vacation or repair timing and the voluntary saving program. We use regression analyses to estimate how effective these two programs are in reducing the peak time demand during the summer. Our results show that adjustment of vacation or repair timing actually reduces the daily peak demand by 0.53 kWh per one kWh reported reduction calculated from the agreements between Kepco and the users. The voluntary saving program reduces the daily peak by 0.57 kWh per one kWh reported reduction calculated from the agreements between Kepco and the users. However, when we include these two effects in the same regression model, their respective estimated effects become much weaker.

수정된 연소 반응 함수[9]를 이용하여 복사 열속 교란에 대한 연소 반응 특성을 살펴 보았다. DB N5추진제에 대한 Son 등[6]의 실험 결과오 비교할 때 본 연구에서 사용한 연소 반응 함수가 낮은 활성화 에너지에서 비슷한 피크를 예측할 수 있었다. 이것은 Son 등[6]에 의해 과소 평가된 복사 열속의 영향이 고려되었기 때문인 것으로 판단 된다. 민감 변수들을 구하기 위하여 Iribicu 등[2]이 제시한 정상 연소 관계식을 이용하였는데, 표면 온도에 대한 정상 연소율 변화를 비교한 결과 Zanotti[8]의 AP2 추진제의 실험 결과와 정성적으로 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. Zebrowski 등[4]의 연소 반응 함수와도 비교하였는데 활성화 에너지가 Zanotti[8]가 제시한 범위의 값을 가질때는 피크에 있어 상당한 차이를 보이지만, 그 보다 더 큰 활성화 에너지에서는 $f_rJ$의 영향이 거의 사라져 비슷한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 이는 활성화 에너지가 클수록 본 연구에서 사용한 연소 반응 함수가 [6]과 같아지지만, [8]에서 제시된 활성화 에너지 범위에서는 본 연구에서 사용한 연소 반응 함수로 예측함이 타당함을 의미한다.

Thermal analysis properties and chemical structure of carbon fiber/epoxy composites under environmental exposure were examined using an accelerated aging tester which can simulate real weather conditions such as temperature, moisture and ultraviolet. The composite specimens were exposed to combined environmental factors up to 3000 hours. Thermal analysis properties and chemical structure of the composites were evaluated with various exposure times through Modulated DSC and FTIR. According to the results of Modulated DSC, the glass transition temperature increased as exposure time increased due to the formation of network structures in the composites. Also endotherm peaks of enthalpy relaxation related to physical aging that can affect the properties of the composites were observed as exposure time increased. From the results of FTIR, it was found that the location of the peaks was little affected by exposure time, but the intensity of the peaks slightly decreased as exposure time increased due to the curing reaction in the epoxy group.

The dependance of degradation on the blue-peak wavelength is investigated with the blue light-emitting diode (LED) of InGaN/GaN with respect to the optical and the electrical characteristics of the devices. The LED devices emitting the blue-peak wavelength ranging from 437 nm to 452 nm is prepared to be stressed for a long aging time with three different currents of 60 mA, 75 mA and 90 mA, respectively. The degradation of optical intensity is observed with and without phosphor in the devices. The device without phosphor has been degraded significantly as the wavelength of blue-peak is decreased while the optical intensity of LED device with phosphor become less sensitive than that of device without phosphor. The electrical property does not depend on the emission peak wavelength. However, the series-resistance of LED device is slowly increased as the aging time is increased. The deformation of device is observed severely the short wavelength of blue-peak even with the same current since the short wavelength is absorbed substantially at the materials of device during the aging time. Consequently, in order to enhance the lifetime of LED devices, it is important to understand the optical degradation property of the materials against the specific wavelengths emitted from the blue chip.
