Silicon carbide powder was prepared from carbon black and silicon recovered from waste solar panels. In the solar power generation market, the number of crystalline silicon modules exceeds 90%. As the expiration date of a photovoltaic module arrives, the development of technology for recovering and utilizing silicon is very important from an environmental and economic point of view. In this study, silicon was recovered as silicon carbide from waste solar panels: 99.99% silicon powder was recovered through purification from a 95.74% purity waste silicon wafer. To examine the synthesis characteristics of SiC powder, purified 99.99% silicon powder and carbon powder were mixed and heat-treated (1,300, 1,400 and 1,500 ℃) in an Ar atmosphere. The characteristics of silicon and silicon carbide powders were analyzed using particle size distribution analyzer, XRD, SEM, ICP, FT-IR, and Raman analysis.

By producing pre-engineered modular system in the factory, It is enable to expedite construction and can be distinguished from two types by the method resisting load. One is the open-sided modular system composed of beams and columns. The other is enclosed modular system composed of panels and studs. Of the modular systems, the open-sided modular system buildings the connection between modules are difficult due to closed member sections, and the overall strength is reduced as a result of local buckling. In this study, in order to solve these problems, a modular system with folded steel members filled with concrete are proposed. The capacity spectrum method presented in ATC 40 is used for seismic performance assessment of the proposed model structure and the structure with conventional steel members. The analysis results show that at the performance point of each model the number and rotation of plastic hinge formed in the proposed modular system are smaller than those in the conventional system. Based on this observation it is concluded that the proposed system with composite sections has superior seismic capacity compared with conventional system.

A modified FRP-concrete composite deck applicable to cable stayed bridge with long girder-to-girder span is proposed, and its design and economical efficiency are presented. The existing FRP-concrete composite deck has low section stiffness due to adoption of GFRP panel with low elastic modulus, which arrives at difficulty in meet of serviceability limit such as deck deflection. So a new-type FRP-concrete composite deck, named precast FRP-concrete deck, is developed by extensioning concrete at the both ends of FRP-concrete composite deck, which brings the effect of reduction of net span length of deck. Compared to the existing FRP-concrete composite deck this modified deck has the advantage of increasing span length but slightly increases self weight. For this type of deck the section optimization is carried out for the cases of simply supported on girder and composite to girder. The optimized deck was applied to cable stayed bridge with a center span length of 540m, and as a result it is verified that PFC deck can be applied efficiently to cable stayed bridge due to reduction of quantity of upper structure.

To detect defect of FPD(flat panel displays) is very difficult due to uneven illumination on FPD panel image. This paper presents a method to detect various types of defects using the approximated image of the uneven illumination by B-spline. To construct a approximated surface, corresponding to uneven illumination background intensity, while reducing random noises and small defect signal, only the lowest smooth subband is used by wavelet decomposition, resulting in reducing the computation time of taking B-spline approximation and enhancing detection accuracy. The approximated image in lowest LL subband is expanded as the same size as original one by wavelet reconstruction, and the difference between original image and reconstructed one becomes a flat image of compensating the uneven illumination background. A simple binary thresholding is then used to separate the defective regions from the subtracted image. Finally, blob analysis as post-processing is carried out to get rid of false defects. For applying in-line system, the wavelet transform by lifting based fast algorithm is implemented to deal with a huge size data such as film and the processing time is highly reduced.

In this study, noncomposite and composite eco-arch structures with I-beams and precast concrete(PC) decks were investigated. Four finite-element models(a steel-girder model, a steel-girder-and-several-PC-panels model, a three-steel-girder model, and a three-steel-girder-and-several-PC-panels model) using a general finite-element program, ABAQUS, were reviewed to predict the strength of the noncomposite and composite arch structures. Based on the results of the finite- element analysis, the behaviors of the four models were investigated, and deflection and strain gauges for the experimental specimen consisting of three steel girders and several PC panels were set up to obtain the ultimate strength. The ultimate strength of the specimen was estimated to be 1,961kN. The ultimate strength was much larger than the 1,380-kN load calculated using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications(2007). The noncomposite and composite arch bridges were found to have enough strength for safety.

Mineral carbonation is a technology in which carbonates are synthesized from minerals including serpentine and olivine, and industrial wastes such as slag and cement, of which all contain calcium or magnesium when reacted with carbon dioxide. This study aims to develop the mineral carbonation technology for commercialization, which can reduce environmental burden and process cost through the reduction of carbon dioxide using steel slag and the slag reuse after calcium extraction. Calcium extraction was conducted using NH4Cl solution for air-cooled slag and convert slag, and ${\geq}98%$ purity calcium carbonate was synthesized by reaction with calcium-extracted solution and carbon dioxide. And we conducted experimentally to minimize the quantity of by-product, the slag residue after calcium extraction, which has occupied large amount of weight ratio (about 80-90%) at the point of mineral carbonation process using slag. The slag residue was used to replace silica sand in the manufacture of cement panel, and physical properties including compressive strength and flexible strength of panel using the slag residue and normal cement panel, respectively, were analyzed. The calcium concentration in extraction solution was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was also used to identify the surface morphology of calcium carbonate, and XRD was used to analyze the crystallinity and the quantitative analysis of calcium carbonate. In addition, the cement panel evaluation was carried out according to KS L ISO 679, and the compressive strength and flexural strength of the panels were measured.

중공 발광 나노 물질은 특유의 구조적 특성(낮은 밀도, 높은 비표면적, 다공성 물질, 낮은 열팽창계수 등)과 광학적 성질을 이용하여 디스플레이 패널, 광결정, 약물전달체, 바이오 이미징 라벨 등의 다양한 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 적용에 있어 균일한 크기와 형태의 중공 입자는 필수 조건으로 여겨진다. 지금까지 합성된 중공 발광 입자에는 BaMgAl10O17 : Eu2+-Nd3+, Gd2O3 : Eu3+, $EuPO_4{\cdot}H_2O$과 같은 것들이 있으나 크기 조절이 어렵고, 그 균일성이 확보되지 못하였다. 균일한 크기의 중공 발광 입자를 만들기 위해 SiO2나 emulsion을 템플릿으로 이용하여 황화카드뮴, 카드뮴 셀레나이드 중공 입자를 합성한 예가 있으나, 양자점의 독성으로 인하여 바이오분야 응용에는 적합하지 않다. YAG는 모체로써 형광체에서 가장 많이 이용되는 물질로, 화학적 안정성과 낮은 독성, 높은 양자 효율 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 특히 세륨이 도핑된 YAG형광체의 경우 WLED, 신틸레이터, 바이오산업에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 지금까지 중공 YAG:Ce3+형광체를 합성한 예가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 단분산 수화 알루미늄 (Al(OH)3) 입자 위에 세륨이 도핑 된 이트륨 베이직 카보네이트 ($Y(OH)CO_3$)를 균일하게 코팅한 후 열처리를 하여 균일한 크기의 Y3Al5O12:Ce3+(YAG) 중공 입자를 합성하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 고분해능 투과 전자 현미경(HRTEM), X-선 회절(XRD), 고분해능 에너지 분광법(HREDX) 분석결과, 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자는 Kirkendall 효과에 의해 형성됨을 확인하였다. 전계방사형 주사 전자 현미경(FE-SEM) 측정을 통해, 열처리 후에도 입자의 크기와 형태가 균일함을 확인하였으며, 공초점 현미경 관찰을 통해 중공 형태를 명확히 확인 할 수 있었다. Photoluminescence (PL) 분광법과 형광 수명 이미징 현미경(FLIM)을 이용한 광 특성 분석결과, 합성된 입자는 400-500 nm에서 흡수 파장 (456 nm에서 최대 강도)과 500-700 nm 범위의 발광 파장(544 nm에서 최대 강도)을 나타냈고, 상용 YAG: Ce3+(70 ns)에 준하는 74 ns의 잔광 시간(decay time)이 측정되었다. 단분산 수화 알루미늄 입자의 크기를 조절하여 최종 합성된 YAG: Ce3+의 크기를 조절할 수 있었다. 지름 약 600 nm의 Al(OH)3를 사용한 경우, $1,300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 한 후 평균 지름 590 nm의 중공입자를 합성하였고, 약 170 nm의 Al(OH)3를 이용하여, 더 낮은 온도인 $1,100^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리를 통해 평균지름 140 nm의 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자를 합성하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 합성된 균일한 크기의 YAG 중공입자는 LED와 같은 광전변환 소자 및 다기능성 바이오 이미징 등의 나노바이오 소자 분야에 활용될 수 있음이 기대된다.

현재 3차원 그래픽 가속기에서 성능 향상에 대한 문제점으로 대두되고 있는 것은 실제 화면에 그려지는 정보가 저장되는 프레임버퍼에 대한 접근 지연이다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존 픽셀 캐쉬가 포함된 래스터라이져 구조에서 캐쉬 읽기 접근 실패 시 발생하는 패널티와 이에 따른 프레임버퍼에 대한 지연이 발생하는 문제점을 개선하고자, 기존 래스터라이져를 래스터라이져와 합성기로 구분하고 그 사이에 캐쉬 읽기 접근 실패 시 프레임 버퍼에서 정보를 읽어오지 않는 깊이 캐쉬와 색상 캐쉬가 쌍을 이룬 픽셀 캐쉬 메모리 시스템으로 구성된 개선된 3차원 그래픽 가속기 구조을 제안하고 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 제안하는 3차원 그래픽 가속기 구조가 기존 구조에 비해 캐쉬 접근 실패율이 약 $23\%$ 감소하였으며, 평균 메모리 접근 사이클이 $10\%-13\%$ 감소하였으며 이는 상당수의 프레임버퍼에 대한 접근 지연을 감소시킨 것이다. 합성기와 메모리 간의 대역폭은 약 $10\%$ 증가하지만 파이프라인의 작업에는 영향을 미치지는 않는다.
