본 연구에서는 제 3의 화학 원소 첨가에 의한 코발트 실리사이드와 니켈 실리사이드의 열적 안정성 향상 메카니즘을 조사하였다. 즉, Co-Si 시스템에 텅스텐을 첨가하는 경우 CoSi의 heat of formation이 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 증가는 시스템 에너지 감속 속도의 최대화로 대변되는 실리사이드 형성 kinetics가 선호하는 glass의 형성을 억제하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 경우 CoSi와 실리콘 기판 사이의 계면에 형성되는 다결정 구조는 glass의 self-diffusion보다 확산계수가 훨씬 작아 상 변이를 위해서는 보다 높은 열에너지를 요구하게 되어 궁극적으로 CoSi의 열적 안정성이 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This manuscript covers the results of field investigation and lab-scale experiments to design a double-layered biofilter system to control urban storm runoff. The biofilter system consisted of a coarse soil layer (CSL) for filtration and fine soil layer (FSL) for adsorption and biological degradation. The variations of flow rate and water quality of runoff from a local expressway were monitored for seven storm events. Laboratory column experiments were performed using seven kinds of soil and mulch to maximize pollutants removal. The site mean concentration (SMC) of storm runoff from the drainage area (runoff coefficient: 0.92) was measured to be 203 mg/L for SS, 307 mg/L for $TCOD_{Cr}$, 12.3 mg/L for TN, 7.3 mg/L for ${NH_4}^+-N$, and 0.79 mg/L for TP, respectively. This study employed a new design concept, to cover the maximum rainfall intensity with one month recurrence interval. Effective storms for last ten years (1998-2007) in seoul suggested the design rainfull intensity to be 8.8 mm/hr Single layer soil column showed the maximum removal rate of pollutants load when the uniformity coefficient of CSL was 1.58 and the silt/clay contents of FSL was virtually 7%. The removal efficiency during operation of double layer soil column was 98% for SS and turbidity, 75% for TCODCr, 56% for ${NH_4}^+-N$, 87% for TP, and 73-91% for heavy metals. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil column, 0.023 cm/sec, suggested that the surface area of the biofilter system should be about 1% of the drainage area to treat the rainfall intensity of one month recurrence interval.

칼날형 마모 마찰 시험기를 이용하여 NR배합고무의 마모 거동을 조사하였다. 온도, 하중, 그리고 회전속도를 변화시켜 마모속도에 미치는 영향과 열화된 배합고무의 마모 현상에 대해 평가하였다. 시편의 회전속도와 수직 하중이 증가할수록 마모속도가 증가하였다. 실험온도가 증가할수록 마찰계수가 감소하였고, 마모속도도 감소하였다. 마찰에너지와 마모속도 사이에 Power-Law 관계를 나타냈으며 마모속도는 열화에 의해 급격히 증가하였다. 시편의 마모패턴은 마모조건에 의해 영향을 받았으며 특히 수직 하중을 변화시켰을 때 마모융기(ridge)간격에 큰 변화를 보였다. 배합고무의 마모속도를 결정하는데 간헐적 마모손실 무게측정 대신 칼날형 마모시험기를 이용한 연속적인 마모이동거리측정으로 대체할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

간헐폭기시스템에 혐기성 아키아 주입에 따른 질소제거율 변화와 슬러지 발생량변화 및 박테리아의 상관관계를 관찰하기 위해, 표준활성슬러지 공정과 아키아를 주입한 간헐폭기공정과 주입하지 않은 공정을 비교하며 운전하였다. 회분식 실험결과 혐기성 아키아 배양액을 간헐폭기조에 주입한 경우에 유기오염물질 분해율이 향상되었으며, 질산화와 탈질반응 속도가 증가하였다. 특히 표준활성슬러지 공정이나 일반 간헐폭기 시스템에 비해 슬러지 발생량이 매우 낮게 유지되었는데, 이는 혐기성 아키아가 주입됨에 따른 슬러지 생산량이 감소되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한, 폭기조에서 용존산소농도를 조절함으로써 혐기성 아키아와 활성슬러지의 공생관계에 따른 효율향상을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 아키아 배양액을 주입한 간헐폭기조에서 비산소소비속도(SOUR)는 $2.9\;mg-O_2/(g-VSS{\cdot}min)$이었으며 비산소소비속도와 질산화 속도는 아키아 배양액을 주입하지 않은 반응조보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2) 아키아 배양액을 주입한 간헐폭기조, 주입하지 않은 간헐폭기조와 표준활성슬러지 공정에서의 유기물질($TCOD_{Cr}$)의 제거효율은 각각 93%, 90%와 87%이었다. 3) 각각의 반응조에서 모두 질산화 효율은 높았으나, 탈질속도는 아키아 배양액을 주입한 간헐폭기조에서 비교적 매우 높았다. 아키아 배양액을 주입한 간헐폭기조, 주입하지 않은 간헐폭기조와 표준활성슬러지 공정에서 질소제거효율은 각각 75%, 63%와 33%이었다.

Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) is an attractive and widely used engineering thermoplastic across many industrial sectors owing to outstanding physical, mechanical, self-lubricating and chemical properties. In this research work, the POM-C blocks were irradiated with 1 MeV electron beam energy in five doses (100, 200, 300, 500 and 700 KGy) in vacuum condition at room temperature. The tribological and physico-chemical properties of electron beam irradiated POM-C blocks have been analyzed using Pin on disk tribometer, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, Optical microscopy, 3D Nano surface profiler system and Contact angle analyzer. Electron beam irradiation at a dose of 100 kGy resulted in a decrease of the friction coefficient and wear loss of POM-C block due to well suited cross-linking, carbonization, free radicals formation and energetic electrons-atoms collisions (physical interaction). It also shows lowest surface roughness and highest water contact angle among all unirradiated and irradiated POM-C blocks. The irradiation doses at 200, 300, 500 and 700 kGy resulted in increase of the friction coefficient as compared to unirradiated POM-C block due to severe chain scission, chemical and physical structural degradation. The electron beam irradiation transferred the wear of unirradiated POM-C block from the abrasive wear, adhesive wear and scraping to mild scraping for the 1 MeV, 100 kGy irradiated POM-C block which is concluded from SEM-EDS and Optical microscopic observations. The degree of improvement for tribological attribute relies on the electron beam irradiation condition (energy and dose rate).

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have been widely applied to the mechanical components, cutting tools due to properties of high hardness and wear resistance. Among them, hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) coatings are well-known for their low friction properties, stable production of thin and thick film, they were reported to be easily worn away under high temperature. Non-hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) is an ideal for industrial applicability due to good thermal stability from high $sp^3$-bonding fraction ranging from 70 to 80 %. However, the large compressive stress of ta-C coating limits to apply thick ta-C coating. In this study, the thick ta-C coating was deposited onto Inconel alloy disk by the FCVA technique. The thickness of the ta-C coating was about $3.5{\mu}m$. The tribological behaviors of ta-C coated disks sliding against $Si_3N_4$ balls were examined under elevated temperature divided into 23, 100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$. The range of temperature was setting up until peel off observed. The experimental results showed that the friction coefficient was decreased from 0.14 to 0.05 with increasing temperature up to $200^{\circ}C$. At $300^{\circ}C$, the friction coefficient was dramatically increased over 5,000 cycles and then delaminated. These phenomenon was summarized two kinds of reasons: (1) Thermal degradation and (2) graphitization of ta-C coating. At first, the reason of thermal degradation was demonstrated by wear rate calculation. The wear rate of ta-C coatings showed an increasing trend with elevated temperature. For investigation of relationship between hardness and graphitization, thick ta-C coatings(2, 3 and $5{\mu}m$) were additionally deposited. As the thickness of ta-C coating was increased, hardness decreased from 58 to 49 GPa, which means that graphitization was accelerated. Therefore, now we are trying to increase $sp^3$ fraction of ta-C coating and control the coating parameters for thermal stability of thick ta-C at high temperatures.

본 논문에서는 JPEG2000의 EBCOT에서 과다한 연산량을 요구하는 컨텍스트 추출과정의 연산량을 감소시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 웨이블릿 변환의 특성인 계수들의 트리구조와 그 계수들의 상관도를 이용하여 특정 임계값을 설정하고 그 임계값보다 작은 계수와 그 자손계수들은 컨텍스트 추출과정을 거치지 않게 하는 것이다. 이 임계값이 증가함에 따라 컨텍스트 추출을 위한 연산량과 출력 데이터양이 줄어드나 화질의 열화가 심해지는 연산량과 화질 또는 데이터량간의 상보적 관계가 성립된다. 따라서 이 임계값을 네트워크의 환경 또는 조건에 따라 설정하면 네트워크에 적응적으로 수행할 수 있는 컨텍스트 추출방법이 가능하다. 이 방법을 실험한 결과 수용할 만한 화질의 범위(30dB 이상)의 임계값은 0에서 4사이이었으며, 이 범위에서 연산량은 평균 $3\%$에서 $64\%$를 감소할 수 있고, 출력데이터는 평균 $32\%$에서 $73\%$의 감소율을 보여 수용할 만한 화질의 열화를 대가로 상당한 연산량 감소와 데이터량 감소를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 제안한 방법은 무선 환경에서 영상/비디오 데이터의 실시간 통신 등에 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

The aim of our research was to apply experimental design methodology in the optimization of N, N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (RNO, which is indictor of OH radical formation) degradation using gas mixing-circulation plasma process. The reaction was mathematically described as a function of four independent variables [voltage ($X_1$), gas flow rate ($X_2$), liquid flow rate ($X_3$) and time ($X_4$)] being modeled by the use of the central composite design (CCD). RNO removal efficiency was evaluated using a second-order polynomial multiple regression model. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a high coefficient of determination ($R^2$) value of 0.9111, thus ensuring a satisfactory adjustment of the second-order polynomial multiple regression model with the experimental data. The application of response surface methodology (RSM) yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the RNO removal efficiency and independent variables in a coded unit: RNO removal efficiency (%) = $77.71+10.04X_1+10.72X_2+1.78X_3+17.66X_4+5.91X_1X_2+3.64X_2X_3-8.72X_2X_4-7.80X{_1}^2-6.49X{_2}^2-5.67X{_4}^2$. Maximum RNO removal efficiency was predicted and experimentally validated. The optimum voltage, air flow rate, liquid flow rate and time were obtained for the highest desirability at 117.99 V, 4.88 L/min, 6.27 L/min and 24.65 min, respectively. Under optimal value of process parameters, high removal(> 97 %) was obtained for RNO.

Polyester cloth (PC) was selected as a prospective inexpensive substitute separator material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). PC was compared with a traditional Nafion proton exchange membrane (PEM) as an MFC separator by analyzing its physical and electrochemical properties. A single layer of PC showed higher mass transfer (e.g., for $O_2/H^+/ions$) than the Nafion PEM; in the case of oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_o$), a rate of $50.0{\times}10^{-5} cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$ was observed compared with a rate of $20.8{\times}10^{-5}cm/s$ in the Nafion PEM. Increased numbers of PC layers were found to reduce the oxygen mass transfer coefficient. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen ($D_O$) for PC ($2.0-3.3{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$) was lower than that of the Nafion PEM ($3.8{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$). The PC was found to have a low ohmic resistance ($0.29-0.38{\Omega}$) in the MFC, which was similar to that of Nafion PEM ($0.31{\Omega}$); this resulted in comparable maximum power density and maximum current density in MFCs with PC and those with Nafion PEMs. Moreover, a higher average current generation was observed in MFCs with PC ($104.3{\pm}15.3A/m^3$) compared with MFCs with Nafion PEM ($100.4{\pm}17.7A/m^3$), as well as showing insignificant degradation of the PC surface, during 177 days of use in swine wastewater. These results suggest that PC separators could serve as a low-cost alternative to Nafion PEMs for construction of cost-effective MFCs.

Currently, the demand for green technologies toward a sustainable future is rapidly increasing due to growing concern over environmental issues. Methanol is biodegradable and can provide clean combustion to reduce sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and therefore it is a candidate fuel for marine engines. However, the effect of methanol on tribological characteristic degradation should be addressed for methanol-fueled engines. In this study, the methanol addition effects on tribological characteristic degradation is experimentally assessed using a pin-on-disk tribo-tester. Ni-based alloy is used as a target material due to its broad applicability as an engine component material. For a lubricant, engine oil with and without methanol are used. The tests are conducted for up to 10,000 cycles under boundary lubrication while the change in friction force is monitored. Additionally, the wear rate is determined based on laser scanning confocal microscope data. An additional test in which methanol is added at regular intervals is performed with an aim to directly observe its effect on friction. Overall, the friction coefficient increases slightly with increasing methanol concentration. Furthermore, the wear rate of the pin and disk increase significantly with methanol addition. The results also indicate that the friction increases instantaneously with methanol addition at the contacting interface. These findings may be useful for better understanding the methanol effect on the tribological characteristics of Ni-based alloys for methanol-fueled engines with improved performance.
