We investigate the effect of interface states on the endurance of a charge trap flash (CTF) NOR array using charge pumping methods. The endurance test was completed from one cell selected randomly from 128 bit cells, where the memory window value after 10² program/erase (P/E) cycles decreased slightly from 2.2 V to 1.7 V. However, the memory window closure abruptly accelerated after 10³ P/E cycles or more (i.e. 0.97 V or 0.7 V) due to a degraded programming speed. On the other hand, the interface trap density (Nit) gradually increased from 3.13×10¹¹ cm⁻² for the initial state to 4×10¹² cm⁻² for 10² P/E cycles. Over 10³ P/E cycles, the Nit increased dramatically from 5.51×10¹² cm⁻² for 10³ P/E cycles to 5.79×10¹² cm⁻² for 10⁴ P/E cycles due to tunnel oxide damages. These results show good correlation between the interface traps and endurance degradation of CTF devices in actual flash cell arrays.

매우 짧은 펄스를 이용한 40-Gb/s 광전송의 성능과 전송용 광섬유의 색 분산과의 관계를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 연구하였다. 매우 짧은 펄스를 사용할 경우 펄스매우 짧은 펄스를 이용한 40-Gb/s 광전송의 성능과 전송용 광섬유의 색 분산과의 관계를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 연구하였다. 매우 짧은 펄스를 사용할 경우 펄스의 넓은 스펙트럼이 광섬유의 색분산과 어우러져서 광섬유의 비선형성에 의한 신호의 왜곡이 억제된다. 이러한 억제의 정도는 광섬유의 색분산, 광신호의 세기 그리고 전송거리 등에 의해 복합적으로 결정된다. 3ps의 길이를 갖는 펄스가 사용되었을 경우 장신호의 세기가 너무 높지 않을 때, 눈 잠김 페널티는 광섬유의 색분산이 D=4ps/nm/km일 경우 가장 컸으며 그 양쪽으로 패널티는 줄어들었다.

The aim of this paper is to numerically explore the feasibility of designing a Mini-Hydro turbine. The interest for this kind of horizontal axis turbine relies on its versatility. For instance, in the field of renewable energy, this kind of turbine may be considered for different applications, such as: tidal power, run-of-the-river hydroelectricity, wave energy conversion. It is fundamental to improve the turbine performance and to decrease the equipment costs for achievement of "environmental friendly" solutions and maximization of the "cost-advantage". In the present work, the commercial CFD code ANSYS is used to perform 3D simulations, solving the incompressible Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (U-RANS) equations discretized by means of a finite volume approach. The implicit segregated version of the solver is employed. The pressure-velocity coupling is achieved by means of the SIMPLE algorithm. The convective terms are discretized using a second order accurate upwind scheme, and pressure and viscous terms are discretized by a second-order-accurate centered scheme. A second order implicit time formulation is also used. Turbulence closure is provided by the realizable k - turbulence model. In this study, a mini hydro turbine (3kW) has been considered for utilization of horizontal axis impeller. The turbine performance and flow behavior have been evaluated by means of numerical simulations. Moreover, the performance of the impeller varied in the pressure distribution, torque, rotational speed and power generated by the different number of blades and angles. The model has been validated, comparing numerical results with available experimental data.

Purpose: Continuous irrigation method is an important step in managing wound infection. V.A.C. devices have been used in intractable wounds for reducing discharge, improving local blood flow, and promoting healthy granulation tissue. We expect synergistic effects of reduced infection and more satisfactory, accelerated wound healing when using both methods simultaneously. This study evaluated continuous irrigation combined with V.A.C. appliance for treatment of infected chronic wounds. Methods: We reviewed data from 17 patients with infected intractable chronic wounds. V.A.C. device (Group A) was used in 9 patients, and V.A.C. with antibiotics irrigation (Group B) was used in 8 patients. We placed Mepitel$^{(R)}$ on the surface of wound and placed an irrigation and aspiration tube on each side. A sponge was placed on the Mepitel$^{(R)}$ and covered with film dressing. The wound was irrigated continuously with mixed antibiotics solution at the speed of 200 cc/hr and aspirated through the wall suction at the pressure of -125 mmHg. V.A.C. applied time, wound culture and wound size were compared between the two groups. Results: No complication were seen in two groups. Compared with Group A, in the Group B, V.A.C. applied time was shortened from 32.7 days to 25.6 days and showed efficacy in the reduction rate of wound size. No statistical differences were shown in bacterial reversion. Conclusion: V.A.C. appliance with continuous irrigation is an effective new method of managing infected chronic wounds and useful to reduce treatment duration and decrease wound size. Moreover it could be applied more widely to infected wound.

고속도로 공사구간은 차로의 차단 및 공사구간 내 다양한 시설물에 운전자가 노출되기 때문에 사고가 빈번하게 발생하는 구간이다. 공사구간 중 완화구간은 차로차단으로 인하여 차량의 합류가 발생하므로 사고의 위험도가 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주행 시뮬레이션(Driving Simulation)과 교통 시뮬레이션 (Traffic Simulation)의 연계 분석을 적용하여 세 가지 유형의 차로합류 기법에 대한 안전성을 비교 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 기존 차로차단 기법보다 사전 유도기법 또는 Joint Merge기법이 안전성 측면에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 서비스 수준(LOS) A, B인 경우 사전 유도기법이 적정 합류기법으로 판단되었으며, 서비스 수준 C의 경우 Joint Merge기법이 적정 합류기법으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 현재 운영되고 있는 차로차단 기법 외에 공사구간 교통상황에 따른 다양한 합류기법의 적용 타당성을 주행 및 교통 시뮬레이션의 연계분석을 통하여 안전성 관점에서 평가하였다는 데 의의가 있다.

Traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWHs) are uncommon and the incidence of this, which is rarely encountered in clinical practice, has been estimated at 1%. Furthermore, blunt transection of the entire abdominal wall musculature caused by seatbelt is a very rare complication. We report a case of adult with a complete disruption of the entire anterolateral abdominal wall muscle following the seatbelt injury. A 32-year-old male was wearing a seat belt in a high speed motor vehicle collision. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed the complete disruption of bilateral abdominal wall musculatures including TAWH without visceral injury. However, injuries of small bowel and sigmoid colon were observed in the intra-operative field. The patient underwent the repair by primary closure of the defect with absorbable monofilament sutures. This case suggests that especially in TAWH patients, even if a CT scan is normal, clinicians should keep the possibility of bowel injury in mind, and choose a treatment based on the clinical findings.

The current paper focuses on the analysis of transient cavitating flow in pressurised polyethylene pipes, which are characterized by viscoelastic rheological behaviour. A hydraulic transient solver that describes fluid transients in plastic pipes has been developed. This solver incorporates the description of dynamic effects related to the energy dissipation (unsteady friction), the rheological mechanical behaviour of the viscoelastic pipe and the cavitating pipe flow. The Discrete Vapour Cavity Model (DVCM) and the Discrete Gas Cavity Model (DGCM) have been used to describe transient cavitating flow. Such models assume that discrete air cavities are formed in fixed sections of the pipeline and consider a constant wave speed in pipe reaches between these cavities. The cavity dimension (and pressure) is allowed to grow and collapse according to the mass conservation principle. An extensive experimental programme has been carried out in an experimental set-up composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, assembled at Instituto Superior T$\acute{e}$cnico of Lisbon, Portugal. The experimental facility is composed of a single pipeline with a total length of 203 m and inner diameter of 44 mm. The creep function of HDPE pipes was determined by using an inverse model based on transient pressure data collected during experimental runs without cavitating flow. Transient tests were carried out by the fast closure of the ball valves located at downstream end of the pipeline for the non-cavitating flow and at upstream for the cavitating flow. Once the rheological behaviour of HDPE pipes were known, computational simulations have been run in order to describe the hydraulic behaviour of the system for the cavitating pipe flow. The calibrated transient solver is capable of accurately describing the attenuation, dispersion and shape of observed transient pressures. The effects related to the viscoelasticity of HDPE pipes and to the occurrence of vapour pressures during the transient event are discussed.

저염분에 따른 양식생물의 피해를 줄이기 위한 조기경보 방안으로 염분에 따른 굴(Crassostrea gigas) 패각운동 특성을 홀 소자를 이용하여 측정하는 생물모니터링시스템의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 염분농도 27 psu에서 굴의 패각운동은 평균 10-15 mm 정도의 개각상태를 유지하다가, 비교적 빠른 폐각상태를 지시하는 큰 파형이 보였으며, 다시 개각상태로 돌아가나, 그 속도는 폐각상태로 진행되는 속도보다 느리게 나타났다. 20 psu까지 저염분의 농도에서는 27 psu의 패각 운동과 큰 변화가 없었다. 하지만 17 psu 이하의 염분농도부터 이상 패각운동이 지시되었으며, 10 psu에서는 패각운동이 없이 폐각상태를 유지하였다. 이와 같은 생물모니터링시스템을 패류 양식에 활용하여 해양환경의 이상변동을 신속히 감지할 수 있다면, 어업피해를 감소시킬 활동으로 연결될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper employs computational tools to investigate the diffraction effects in regular head waves on the added resistance and wake on the propeller plane. The objective ships are a 66,000 DWT bulk carrier and a 3,600 TEU container ship. Fixed and free to heave and pitch conditions at design speed have been taken into account. Two-phase unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been solved using the finite volume method; and a realizable k-ε model has been applied for the turbulent closure. The free surface is obtained by solving a VOF equation. The computations are carried out at the same scale of the model tests. Grid and numerical wave damping zones are applied to remove unwanted wave reflection at the boundaries. The computational results are analyzed using the Fourier series. The added resistances in waves at the free condition are higher than those at the fixed condition, which are nearly constant for all wavelengths. The wake velocity in waves is higher than that in calm water, and is accelerated where the wave crest locates on the propeller plane. When the vertical motion at the stern goes upward, the wake velocity also accelerated.

수평 유로를 통과하는 이상류 내에서 기체상의 난류 응력이 이상류 시스템의 전반적 거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 이미 오랜 연구 노력으로 입증된 평균 이상류 거동 방정식을 채택하여 수평관에서 흔히 발생하는 성층류형 이상류에 대하여 적절히 모델하였다. 모델의 고유치를 계산하고 그의 특성 방정식으로부터 이상류 시스템의 well-posedness 및 다른 이상 유동 영역으로의 천이 경계를 새로이 결정하였다. 그 결과로 지금까지 무시해 왔던 기체상의 난류웅력이 이상류 시스템의 안정성에 커다란 영향을 주는 것이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 그 영향이 정량화 되었으며 그외의 효과도 정량화 하는 방법을 정립하였다. 본 연구는 원자로 시스템 해석 코드에 쓰이고 있는 열수력 모델 중 불확실성이 많은 모델인 수평관에서의 이상유동 영역 천이 조건식을 개선함으써 시스템 해석 결과의 신뢰도를 높이는 데 이용할 수 있다.
