According to the wide application of diesel equipments in tunneling faces, the air contamination by various toxic gases and carcinogenic diesel particulate matter becomes a serious problem these days. For taking a scientific measures to solve the problem, the way to simulate 3 dimensional flow movement of the working sites is required. In this paper, the newly developed simulation program(3D-FLOW) and the results of a simulation on a model tunneling workings using diesel equipments are introduced. In case of typical model of tunneling face, the gas concentration of human height is about one third of roof concentration and right side half of the tunnel shows better environment than left half. NOx concentration of workings can be estimated about 0.45ppm which is much lower than permissible level(5 ppm).

It is desirable to choose a high-k material having a large band offset with the tunneling oxide and a deep trapping level for use as the charge trapping layer to achieve high PIE (Programming/erasing) speeds and good reliability, respectively. In this paper, charge trapping and tunneling characteristics of high-k hafnium oxide ($HfO_2$) layer with various thicknesses were investigated for applications of tunnel barrier engineered nonvolatile memory. A critical thickness of $HfO_2$ layer for suppressing the charge trapping and enhancing the tunneling sensitivity of tunnel barrier were developed. Also, the charge trap centroid and charge trap density were extracted by constant current stress (CCS) method. As a result, the optimization of $HfO_2$ thickness considerably improved the performances of non-volatile memory(NVM).

We investigated the electrical properties of self-assembled (4,4'-Di(ethynylphenyl)-2'-nitro-1-thioacetylbenzene), which has been well known as a conducting molecule having possible application to molecular level negative differential resistance(NDR)[1]. Generally, the phenomenon of NDR can be characterized by the decreasing current with the increasing voltage[2]. To deposit the SAM layer onto gold electrode, we transfer the prefabricated nanopores into a 1mM self-assembly molecules in THF solution. Au(111) substrates were prepared by ion beam sputtering method of gold onto the silicon wafer. As a result, we measured the voltage-current properties and confirmed the negative differential resistance properties of self-assembled organic thin film and measured, using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM).

This document specifies a new IPv6 deployment protocol called CHANC, which stands for Configuring Hosts to Auto-detect (IPv6, IPv6-in-IPv4, or IPv4) Network Connectivity. The main part is an application level tunneling protocol that allows Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to rapidly start deploying IPv6 service to their subscribers whom connected to the Internet via IPv4-only access networks. It carries IPv6 packets over HTTP protocol to be transmitted across IPv4-only network infrastructure. The key aspects of this protocol are: offers IPv6 connectivity via IPv4-only access networks, stateless operation, economical solution, assures most firewall traversal, and requires simple installation and automatic configuration at customers' hosts. All data packets and routing information of the IPv6 protocol will be carried over the IPv4 network infrastructure. A simple application and a pseudo network driver must be installed at the end-user's hosts to make them able to work with this protocol. Such hosts will be able to auto-detect the ISP available connectivity in the following precedence: native IPv6, IPv6-in-IPv4, or no IPv6 connectivity. Because the protocol does not require changing or upgrading customer edges, a minimal cost in the deployment to IPv6 service should be expected. The simulation analysis showed that the performance of CHANC is pretty near to those of native IPv6, 6rd, and IPv4 protocols. Also, the performance of CHANC is much better than that of D6across4 protocol.

Device miniaturization and high integrated circuit design is of major interest for the development of electronic devices. Various studies have been conducted to develop new material and processing technique[1]. Negative Differential Resistance(NDR) is the defining behavior in several electronic components, including the Esaki diode and most notably, resonant tunneling diodes(RTD)[2]. We made a comparison of electrical properties between 4,4-Di(ethynylphenyl)-2'-nitro-1-(thioacetyl)benzene and 4-[2,5-dimethoxy-4-(p henylethynyl)phenyl]ethynylphenylethanethioate, which have been well known as a conducting molecule having possible application to molecular level NDR devices. As a result, we measured current-voltage curves using Scanning Tunneling microscopy(STM), I-V curves also showed several current peaks between negative and positive bias region.

Magnetism of molecular nanomagnet, which attracted a lot of academic attention after the discovery of the macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetism, is reviewed. Molecular nanomagnet is metal-organic material in which magnetic ions are regularly located in the organic skeleton. Also, the interaction between the molecules is very small and those molecules form macroscopic molecular crystal in which molecules are residing at the element points in the crystal. Molecular nanomagnets show a lot of interesting features, especially, equivalence of macroscopic magnetic properties and molecular magnetic properties. In this paper, research results on molecular nanomagnet with microscopic tool like NMR are reviewed mainly. The new method to observe the quantum tunneling of magnetization discovered in Mnl2-ac with NMR is shown and the research results on the microscopic aspects of the macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetization using the new method are shown. Also, the physical aspect of the level crossing effect which has been reported originally with NMR in molecular nanomagnet is reviewed with experiment results. The research results on the molecular nanomagnets will reveal the important information about the limit of the miniaturization of magnetic memory units and give us the basic scientific knowledge which is needed for the application for the quantum computation. Moreover, academically, many quantum mechanical theories which have not been checked the validity can be checked with experiments.

In recent tunneling projects, encounters with multi-layered strata have become more frequent as the desired scale of tunneling increases. Despite substantial practical experience, the design of large-diameter shield-driven tunnels often simplifies the surrounding ground as uniform, overlooking the complexities introduced by non-uniform geotechnical factors. This study comparatively analyzed the influence of design factors, particularly segment stiffness and joint parameters, on segmental lining behavior in layered ground conditions using numerical methods. A comprehensive parametric study revealed the significant impact of deformative interaction between the lining and the soft top soil layer on overall tunnel behavior. Permitting lining deformation in the soft soil layer effectively mitigated the induced internal forces but resulted in considerable tunnel lining convergence, adopting a peanut-shaped appearance. From a practical design perspective, application of a soft segment with lower stiffness near the stiff soil layer is an economically advantageous approach, alleviating internal forces within an acceptable convergence level. Notably, around the interfaces between soil layers with different stiffnesses, the induced internal forces in the lining were minimized based on joint rotational stiffness and location. This indicates the possibility of achieving an optimal design for segmental lining joints under layered ground conditions. Additionally, a preliminary design method was proposed, which sequentially optimizes parameters for joints located near soil layer interfaces. Subsequently, a specialized design based on the proposed method for complex multi-layered strata was compared with a conventional design. The results confirmed that the internal force was effectively relieved at an allowable lining deflection level.

Excavation of underground cavern and shaft was proposed for the construction of a ventilation facility in an urban area. A shaft connects the street-level air plenum to an underground cavern, which extends down approximately 46 m below the street surface. At the project site, the rock mass was relatively strong and well-defined joint sets were present. A kinematic block stability analysis was first performed to estimate the required reinforcement system. Then a 3-D discontinuum numerical analysis was conducted to evaluate the capacity of the initial support and the overall stability of the required excavation, followed by a 3-D continuum numerical analysis to complement the calculated result. This paper illustrates the application of detailed numerical analyses to the design of the required initial support system for the stability of underground hard rock mining at a relatively shallow depth.
