Based on thermodynamics, the mathematical framework governing the hydro-mechanical behavior of partially saturated soil is derived by using balance equations, and the numerical analysis through implementation of various effective stress definitions is performed. Effective stress on partially saturated soil describes the soil strength which is presented by the relationship between water content and soil suction. For the estimation of hydro-mechanical behavior on partially saturated soil, effective stress parameter ${\chi}$ defined from various literatures is especially analyzed to understand the conditions of constitutive equations regarding residual saturation and displacement of soil. As a result, effective stress parameter ${\chi}$ has an influence on the variation of matric suction in soil with an external load and seepage. However it was found that the effect of each parameter ${\chi}$ varies with residual degree of saturation, and that of each parameter ${\chi}$ decreased with decrease in displacement of soil caused by an external load.

1 picosecond 보다 짧은 펄스길이를 갖는 초단파길이 레이저 펄스 (Ultrashort laser pulse, USLP)를 이용한 물질의 절제 (ablation)는 여타 nanosecond 영역의 레이저 절제와 많은 차이를 보인다(1). USLP는 순간 파워가 매우 높기 때문에 직접적으로 물질의 원자를 분리시켜 자유전자를 형성한다 이들 자유전자는 일반 선형흡수체 (linear absorbing chromophore)보다 흡수계수가 몇 십 배로 높아 대부분의 펄스 에너지가 표면 100-200 m 이내의 극히 작은 지역에 밀집되게 된다. (중략)

Linear acoustic analysis has been performed to elucidate damping characteristics of acoustic cavities. Results have shown that resonant frequencies of acoustic cavity obtained by classical theoretic approach and present linear analysis are somewhat different from each other. This difference is due to the limitation of classical theory. To quantify the damping characteristics, acoustic impedance has been introduced and resultant absorption and conductance have been evaluated. Satisfactory agreement has been achieved with previous experiment. Finally the design procedure for optimal tuning of acoustic cavity has been established

The durability of concrete and the water-tightness properties of cementitous material are closely relation. So, water-tightness materials as natural minerals, organic fatty acid, organic fatty salts inorganic materials use for improvement of concrete durability. But these materials are somehow different in water-tightness mechanism. In this study, we studied on hydration properties and water-tightness properties of cementitous materials with zinc-stearate, a kind of organic fatty acid salts.

Considering the significant waste of industrial energy, effective use of low temperature waste heat is extremely important. In this study, a heat pump cycle with double effect and double stage was realized, which escalates the hot water temperature from $50^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ using $160^{\circ}C$ high temperature heat source and $17^{\circ}C$ low temperature heat source. The steam generated in the first generator condenses in the first condenser generating steam in the second generator. The steam condenses in the second condenser and is provided to the second evaporator. Part of the water out of the second evaporator is supplied to the first evaporator, which evaporates using low temperature waste heat. The evaporated steam enters the first absorber and the second evaporator. The steam out of the second evaporator is absorbed into the solution at the second absorber. The hot water temperature is raised in the second condenser and in the second absorber. Proper flow rates and UA values, which satisfied temperature lift $20^{\circ}C$ and COP 1.6, were deduced through trior and error. The COP increases as the temperature of the high temperature water increases, hot water temperature decreases and flow rate increases, waste water temperature and flow rate increases, solution circulation rate decreases. On the other hand, the temperature rise of the hot water increases as the temperature of the high temperature water increases, hot water temperature increases and flow rate decreases, waste water temperature and flow rate increases, solution circulation rate increases. In addition, the COP and hot water temperature rise increase as UAs of the heat exchangers increase.

Effects of Gamma camera imaging on gamma ray counting rates as a function of use and density of the iodine contrast medium currently in primary use for clinics, and changes in gamma ray counting rates as a function of the contrast medium status upon attenuation correction using a CT absorption coefficient in an SPECT/CT attenuation correction will be considered herein. For experimental materials used $^{99m}TcO_4$ 370 MBq and Pamiray 370 mg, Iomeron 350 mg, Visipaque 320 mg, Bonorex 300 mg of iodine contrast medium. For image acquisition, planar imaging was consecutively filmed for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 min, respectively, 30 min after administration of $^{99m}TcO_4$. while 60 views were filmed per frame for 20 min at 55 min for the SPECT/CT imaging. In planar imaging, the gamma ray counting rates as a function of filming time were reduced showing a statistically significant difference when mixed according to the type of contrast medium density rather than when the radioactive isotope $^{99m}TcO_4$ and the saline solution were mixed. In the tomography for mixing of the radioactive isotope $^{99m}TcO_4$ and saline solution, the mean counting rate without correction by the CT absorption coefficient is $182{\pm}26counts$, while the counting rate with correction by the CT absorption coefficient is $531.3{\pm}34counts$. In the tomography for mixing of the radioactive isotope $^{99m}TcO_4$ and the saline solution with the contrast medium, the mean values before attenuation correction by CT absorption coefficient were $166{\pm}29$, $158.3{\pm}17$, $154{\pm}36$, and $150{\pm}33counts$ depending on the densities of the contrast medium, while the mean values after attenuation correction were $515{\pm}03$, $503{\pm}10$, $496{\pm}31$, and $488.7{\pm}33counts$, showing significant differences in both cases when comparatively evaluated with the imaging for no mixing of the contrast medium. Iodine contrast medium affects the rate of gamma ray. Therefore, You should always be preceded before another test on the day of dignosis.

We present various optimal grating structures which give the low threshold gain, good modulation characteristics, small effective linewidth enhancement factor, and large fabrication tolerance in complex-coupled MQW DFB lasers with absorptive gratings. To obtain these, we calculate the complex coupling coefficients using the extended additional layer method and the threshold gain including the modal loss in the absorptive grating region for rectangular and trapezoidal gratings. Based on the comparison of the results for various possible absorptive grating structures, the design guidelines are presented to obtain the low threshold gain or large fabrication tolerance. Among the grating structures studied, the double grating structure consisting of the absorptive grating on the index grating has the largest fabrication tolerance for the threshold gain and the coupling strength. The fabrication tolerance for the coupling ratio is very large for all the grating structures studied.

The micro-porous asymmetric PVDF hollow fiber membranes for gas-liquid contactor were prepared by the dry-jet wet phase inversion process and the characteristics of hollow fiber membranes were evaluated by the gas permeation method and scanning electron microscope. The chemical absorbent for removal of $SO_2$ gas was sodium hydroxide at bench scale hollow fiber membrane contactor. The experiments were performed in a counter-current mode of operation with gas in the shell side and liquid in the fiber lumen of the module to examine the effect of various operating variables such as concentration of absorbent, gas flow rate, L/G ratio and concentration of inlet $SO_2$ gas on the $SO_2$ removal efficiency using PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactor. Membrane mass transfer coefficient($k_m$) was calculated by mathematical modeling. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing the concentration of absorbent and L/G ratio. The increase of the absorbent concentration and L/G ratio not only provides more sufficient alkalinity but also decreases liquid phase resistance. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing gas flow rate due to decreasing the gas phase resistance.

A fiber-optic temperature sensor utilizing InP as a sensing medium was implemented and tested to determine the dependance of the optical characteristics of InP on physical parameters for the use as design parameters in this type of sensors. The optical absorption coefficient of InP has been determined through the experimental measurement of the fundamental optical absorption characteristics at various temperature points. The transmission characteristics of light source at three temperature points($249^{\circ}K$, $298^{\circ}K$, $369^{\circ}K$) are computed from the optical absorption coefficient for a fixed length of InP. A series of measurement concluded that optical absorption edge moves to longer wavelength region at a speed of 0.42 nm / $^{\circ}K$ as the specimen gets hotter, and that increasing the thickness of the InP sensing layer shifts power density curve to lower temperature region.
