Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) based on Stranski-Krastanov (SK) quantum dots (QDs) have been widely explored for improved device performance using various designs of heterostructures. However, one of the biggest limitations of this approach is the "pancake" shape of the dot, with a base of 20-30 nm and a height of 4-6 nm. This limits the 3D confinement in the quantum dot and reduces the ratio of normal incidence absorption to the off-axis absorption. One of the alternative growth modes to the formation of SK QDs is a sub-monolayer (SML) deposition technique, which can achieve a much higher density, smaller size, better uniformity, and has no wetting layer as compared to the SK growth mode. Due to the advantages of SML-QDs, the SML-QDIP design has attractive features such as increased normal incidence absorption, strong in-plane quantum confinement, and narrow spectral wavelength detection as compared with SK-DWELL. In this study, we report on the improved device performance of InAs/InGaAs SML-QDIP with different composition of $Al_xGa1-_xAs$ barrier. Two SML-QDIPs (x=0.07 for sample A and x=0.20 for sample B) are grown with the 4 stacks 0.3 ML InAs. It is investigated that sample A with a confinement-enhanced (CE) $Al_{0.22}Ga_{0.78}As$ barrier had a single peak at $7.8{\mu}m$ at 77 K. However, sample B with an $Al_{0.20}Ga_{0.80}As$ barrier had three peaks at (${\sim}3.5{\mu}m$, ${\sim}5{\mu}m$, ${\sim}7{\mu}m$) due to various quantum confined transitions. The measured peak responsivities (see Fig) are ~0.45 A/W (sample A, at $7.8{\mu}m$, $V_b=-0.4V$ bias) and ~1.3 A/W (sample B, at $7{\mu}m$, $V_b=-1.5V$ bias). At 77 K, sample A and B had a detectivity of $1.2{\times}10^{11}cm.Hz^{1/2}/W$ ($V_b=-0.4V$ bias) and $5.4{\times}10^{11}cm.Hz^{1/2}/W$ ($V_b=-1.5V$ bias), respectively. It is obvious that the higher $D^*$ of sample B (than sample A) is mainly due to the low dark current and high responsivity.

Both the electrically positive and negative particles in a cell of quick response-liquid powder display (QR-LPD) are surrounded by conductive electrodes on the upper and lower substrate and the dielectric materials of the barrier ribs. Particles in a cell are attached to or detached from the other materials by image force, electric field, Coulomb's force, and Van der Waals' force. Through these forces, the moving particles form an image but induce clumping phenomena. Particles having a large kinetic energy by a large q/m value crash into the opposite electrode with high speed at a large driving voltage and quickly lose electrically charged material. As a result, these particles are clumped and degrade panel performance. The clumped particles in a cell are observed by microscopic photographs and ascertained by a response time. When the bias voltage is increased to 0.68-0.76 $V/{\mu}m$, particle clumping occurs abruptly and the response time increases sharply. This particle clumping is similarly observed after the number of driving times at the driving voltage (0.42-0.64 $V/{\mu}m$).

With the increasing interest in using bacterial biofilms in geo-engineering practices, such as soil improvement, sealing leakage in earth structures, and hydraulic barrier installation, understanding of the contribution of bacterial biofilm formation to mechanical and hydraulic behavior of soils is important. While mechanical properties of soft gel-like biofilms need to be identified for appropriate modeling and prediction of behaviors of biofilm-associated soils, elastic properties of biofilms remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study investigated the microscale Young's modulus of biofilms produced by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in a liquid phase. The indentation test was performed on a biofilm sample using the atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a spherical indentor, and the force-indentation responses were obtained during approach and retraction traces. Young's modulus of biofilms was estimated to be ~33-38 kPa from these force-indentation curves and Hertzian contact theory. It appears that the AFM indentation result captures the microscale local characteristics of biofilms and its stiffness is relatively large compared to the other methods, including rheometer and hydrodynamic shear tests, which reflect the average macro-scale behaviors. While modeling of mechanical behaviors of biofilm-associated soils requires the properties of each component, the obtained results provide information on the mechanical properties of biofilms that can be considered as cementing, gluing, or filling materials in soils.

본 연구는 국도및 고속도로상에 설치되어 있는 철제 오성방호책인 가아드레일의 동력학적 거동분석을 4개의 설계변수, 즉 보와 지주의 단면형상 충돌시의 차량속도, 충돌각도 및 차량중량에 따라 BARRIER VII프로그램을 사용하여 수행하였다. 컴퓨터 모의해석 프로그램인 BARRIER VII은 비교적 정교한 것으로 실제의 실물충돌시험 결과와 근접한 결과를 보여줄 뿐 아니라 경제적인 이유로 차량과 방호책의 상호작용을 해석하는데 실물충동시험 대신에 많이 사용된다. 본 연구의 주된 관심은 구조적 적합성, 탑승자 위험도와 차량의 궤적이라 할 수 있다. 이 목적을 위해 최대처짐 및 최대충격력이 계신되어 안전노변대 설계와 충격완화 효과를 분석하는데 사용된다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 도로상의 대형참사를 예방하기 위해서는 가아드레일의 설계기순을 보다 강화할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

In this article, vapor bubble nucleation in liquid and the evaporation process of a liquid droplet at its superheat limit were discussed from the viewpoint of molecular clustering (molecular cluster model for bubble nucleation). For the vapor bubble formation, the energy barrier against bubble nucleation was estimated by the molecular interaction due to the London dispersion force. Bubble nucleation by quantum tunneling in liquid helium under negative pressure near the absolute zero temperature and bubble nucleation on cavity free micro heaters were also presented as the homogenous nucleation processes.

The deformation characteristics is one of the major factors to resume the crash configuration in collision accident reconstruction. Crash analysis are carried out using finite element method and body stiffness equations representing force-deformation relationship are derived, Two different crash conditions : 1) frontal barrier impact 2) frontal impact between cars are given for the derivation of the equations. The stiffness coefficient of equation by method 2) is larger than that by method. 1). Crash analysis between two vehicles is accomplished with three crash angles and three velocities for each angle condition. The deformations are measured for six selected points and deformation energies are calculated using the derived equations. Equation by method 2) results in better estimation of deformation energy than that by method 1) for all crush configurations. The estimated energies can be utilized as one of indices to identify the type of the collision accident result.

To evaluate the structural integrity of the NPP containment building more rigorously, the effective prestress, which is one of the most affecting elements, needs to be estimated exactly. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the effective prestress force in prestressed concrete beams. It is possible to improve the effective prestress measuring method by test beam, which is being applied for the investigation of the nuclear power plant in operation. If experimentally evaluated Lift-Off method in this study can be coupled with test beam test currently being used in in-service nuclear power plant, it is possible to measure prestress loss of the tendon and the level of the effective prestress load.

Chemotaxis is the directed movement of cells in gradients of signaling molecules, an essential biological process that underlies morhpogenesis during development, and the recruitment of immune cells to sites of infection. Especially, bacterial chemotaxis has utilized as an important prelude to study metabolism, prey-predator relationship, symbiosis, other ecological interactions in microbial communities. Recently, novel analytical formats integrated with microfluidics were introduced to investigate the chemotaxis of the cells with the precise control of chemical gradient and small volume of cells. In this study, we present a method to detect bacterial chemotaxis by direct fluidic contacting. The developed fluidic-handling method is driven by capillary force, hydrophobic barrier and a cohesion force between fluids. We have investigated the chemotactic response of E Coli. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to three kinds of chemoeffectors such as HEPES buffer, peptone and chloroform.

원형 혹은 H형 단면의 표지판지주에 소형차가 충돌할 때 차량 및 지주의 거동을 확인하기 위하여 Barrier VII 프로그램을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 이 프로그램은 연성 베리어에 충돌하는 차량의 운동과 베리어의 변위를 해석하는 프로그램이나, 지주를 수평 빔 요소로 하고 각 노드에 강성을 조절한 기둥 요소로 연결함으로써 소형지주에 대한 충돌해석이 가능함을 보였다. 0.9ton 소형차가 기초와 강결된 파이프형태의 소형 지주에 30km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h 110km/h의 속도로 충돌하는 경우, 0.9ton 소형차와 1.35ton 중형차가 기초에 강결된 H형 단면 지주에 110km/h의 속도로 충돌하는 경우, 그리고 0.9ton 소형차가 분리되는(slip base) 형태로 기초에 연결된 파이프형태의 소형 지주에 110km/h의 속도로 충돌하는 경우 등 총 7가지 경우에 대한 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 지주의 변형과 충돌차량의 거동을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 고속충돌 시 기초에 강결 된 원형지주의 경우 과다한 휨 변형으로 표지판과 차량 전면부와의 충돌위험성이 있고 H형 지주와 같이 비교적 큰 표지판용 지주는 소형차 충돌 시 지주의 변형은 거의 없고 차량에 가해지는 충격력, 지주가 과다하게 차체 안으로 침투할 위험성이 크다는 사실과 breakaway 장치로 단부처리를 하는 경우 위험이 줄어들 수 있음을 확인하였다.
