  • 양자점은 산소와 수분에 취약하기 때문에 수분과 산소를 막아줄 수 있는 베리어 특성을 가진 제품을 이용하여 샌드위치 형식 양자점 층을 감싸는 형태로 제조하여 양자점의 광학적 신회성을 평가하였다. 다른 보호막이 없는 양자점 레진으로만 이루어진 필름, 양자점 필름과 PET를 합지한 필름 및 베리어 필름을 합지한 양자점 필름, 3가지를 이용하여 온도 60℃, 습도 90 %인 고온고습 조건에서 650시간 동안 변화를 평가를 진행하였다. 베리어 필름과 합지한 양자점 필름 제품은 휘도와 CIE x 및 CIE y 값이 유지되는 반면 PET와 합지한 양자점 필름 제품은 휘도 8 %, CIE x 2 % 및 CIE y 8 %가 낮아졌다. 또한 수분과 산소에 그대로 노출되었던 양자점 필름 제품은 측정 전부터 산화되어 낮게 측정되었으며 최종적으로 휘도 12 %, CIE x 9 % 및 CIE y 14 %가 낮게 측정되었다.

  • In recent years, use of the web technologies and on-line process has immensely swapped single-user platform practice. This study attempted to develop preliminary cost estimating program by means of Web technologies based on statistical modeling results. A prototype Web-based Preliminary Item-Level Cost Estimating System (WBPILCES) using open source software was developed as an on-line estimating tool in this research. The primary objective is to study the possible flexibility of implementing a centralized information system that will be maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) IT division. The full-scale deployment of proposed information architecture is expected to seamlessly integrate with legacy database system currently used by TxDOT so as to streamline data storage, cost growth tracking and estimates documentation.

  • White LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are promising new-generation light sources which can replace conventional lamps due to their high reliability, low energy consumption and eco-friendly effects. This paper briefly reviews recent progress of oxy/nitride host phosphor and quantum dot materials with broad excitation band characteristics for phosphor-converted white LEDs. Among oxy/nitride host materials, $M_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$, $MAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ M-SiON(M=Ca, Sr, Ba), ${\alpha}/{\beta}-SiAlON:Eu^{2+}$ are excellent phosphors for white LED using blue-emitting chip. They have very broad excitation bands in the range of 440-460 nm and exhibit emission from green to red. In this paper, In this review we focus on recent developments in the crystal structure, luminescence and applications of the oxy/nitride phosphors for white LEDs. In addition, the application prospects and current trends of research and development of quantum dot phosphors are also discussed.

  • Over the years, existing bridges have had various degrees of maintenance to extend the service life. As the existing bridges continue to deteriorate, however, each Department of Transportation (DOT) of the United States of America faces increasing demands on the limited funds available for bridge maintenance. Therefore, it is very important for State Department of Transportations to establish Maintenance, Repair, and Rehabilitation (MR&R) strategies for bridge structures such that funds get allocated for appropriate maintenance over the service life. This paper identifies the state-of-art and the state-of-practice of MR&R actions and the use of MR&R strategies in concrete bridge decks. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted to identify the type and timing for MR&R actions as well as existing MR&R strategies taken in concrete bridge deck by each DOT. This paper also presents the results of the survey.

  • Effective cost management requires reliable cost estimates at every stage of project development. The primary purpose of this research is to develop systematic modeling procedures and an automatic computing program for infrastructure estimating in the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The computing system toggles between project input information and segregated district unit prices for highway work item quantity estimates associated with earthwork and landscape, subgrade treatments and base, surface courses and pavement, structures, miscellaneous construction, and lighting, signing, markings and signals. This quantity-based approach was chosen because of the conventional approach lacking of quantity information until primary design is complete.

  • 철도 운전사고의 대부분을 차지하는 철도건널목에 대한 기존의 사고예측식은 국외의 경우 Peabody Dimmick Formula, New Hampshire Index, National Cooperative Highway Research Program(NCHRP) report 50, U.S. Department of Transportation(DOT) 사고예측식 등을 이용하고 있었으며, 국내의 경우, U.S. DOT 사고예측식의 입력변수를 다변량 분석법을 이용하여 국내에 맞게 조정한 사고예측식을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 위에서 제시한 철도건널목 사고예측식은 철도건널목에서 발생하는 사고를 단순히 철도통행량, 도로통행량, 선로수, 도로수 등의 요인에 국한하여 분석한 것이고, 사고예측식 자체가 철도건널목에만 국한된다는 맹점을 안고 있어서 철도건널목장치라든지 철도건널목을 이용하는 사람들의 성향 등, 여러 인자를 고려한 철도건널목에서의 안전성분석 및 대책을 제시할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도건널목장치를 포함하여 다른 시스템에도 범용적으로 적용할 수 있고, 제한된 변수에만 국한하지 않아 여러 사항을 고려할 수 있는 안전성분석 절차를 제시하였는데 이 안전성 분석 절차를 철도건널목에 적용함으로써 시스템의 위험요인을 분석하고, 이에 대한 원인 및 결과, 손실을 도출한 후 대책을 제시할 수 있었다.

  • As the national transportation infrastructure ages and deteriorates, many existing bridges require frequent and costly maintenance and repairs. The objective of this work was to synthesize new and existing types of beam end coatings and treatments that have been proven to extend the life of new and existing concrete and steel bridge beams. A comprehensive literature review, along with online surveys and phone interviews of State department of transportations (DOTs) and coating manufacturers was conducted to gather information about existing and recently developed technologies. The study revealed that while many promising coatings and treatments are offered on the market, there is a lack of readily available laboratory results that would enable direct comparison of the available methods. This finding applies in terms of the coatings' durability and the potential for extending the service life of existing bridges. Most of the interviewed State DOTs' personnel assessed the products listed in respective DOT's Qualified Products Lists as performing 'well'. However, there was significant variability between states in the type of the products used. Among the agencies contacted, none was able to suggest the most promising or advanced products, either for concrete or steel bridge beam end treatments. This suggests that comprehensive laboratory evaluation would be necessary for selecting the best available beam end treatments and coatings.

  • In the United States, the Safety Rest Areas (SRAs) were introduced as highway roadside infrastructures in the early 1900s. The State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) operate/maintain their SRAs using different methods. The Washington DOT used the in-house workforce method for over 20 years, whereas some states moved to Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) from the in-house workforce to save cost primarily. Several existing studies claimed that using the PBC approach saved costs on several highway assets. Thus, the principal objective of this study is to compute and compare the unit operating/maintenance cost of SRAs using the in-house workforce method (in Washington state) with the PBC approach (in other states). The findings of this study show that the average annual cost using the PBC approach was much more than the average annual cost using the in-house workforce approach. The findings also show that in Washington state, the 'Labor Cost' category was a key expenditure, which is statistically higher than other categories. The 'Labor Cost' was followed by the 'Other Services', and then 'Materials and Supplies' and 'Equipment.' The study's findings indicated that outsourcing does not always save costs for agencies. The study findings may help transportation construction/maintenance professionals select a cost-effective approach for their future planning.

  • 백색 발광다이오드(white light-emitting diodes)를 이용한 광소자는 소비전력이 상대적으로 작고, 안정적이며, 수은과 같은 유해 중금속을 포함하지 않기 때문에, 에너지 절약 및 친환경 산업측면에서 유망한 산업으로 급속히 발전하고 있다. 국내의 경우 LED 조명의 효율, 신뢰성, 연색성을 향상시키는데 필수 소재인 형광체의 기술 확보에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 기존의 YAG, TAG, silicate 계열 산화물 형광체 뿐만 아니라 고온특성이 우수한 산/질화물계 형광체 개발에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 산/질화물계 형광체 조성에서 $M_2Si_5N_8$ : $Eu^{2+}$, $MAlSiN_3$ : $Eu^{2+}$ M-SiON(M = Ca, Sr, Ba), ${\alpha}/{\beta}$-SiAlON : $Eu^{2+}$과 같은 재료는 440~460 nm 영역에서의 넓은 여기파장과 우수한 발광효율로 청색 LED 칩을 이용한 백색 LED에 넓게 사용되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 산/질화물계 형광체 조성의 결정학적, 광학적 특성 및 응용에 대해서 정리하였다. 또한 최근에 주목받고 있는 양자점(quantum dots) 형광체를 응용한 white LEDs의 개발동향에 대해서도 알아보도록 한다.

  • 이 딥펜 나노리소그라피(DPN)는 원자 힘 현미경(AFM)을 기반으로 하는 나노 및 마이크로 패턴 제조 기술이다. 다양한 잉크 물질을 AFM 탐침에 코팅하여 탐침과 기판 사이에 형성된 물 메니스커스를 통해 기판으로 전이시켜 패턴을 제조한다. 본 연구에서는, 실란 전처리된 AFM 탐침 표면에 불소 실란 잉크 용액을 코팅하고 하이드록시기로 개질된 실리콘 기판 위에 접촉시킨 후, DPN 기술을 이용하여 표면으로 잉크 물질을 전이시키는 연구를 진행하였다. HDFDTMS 잉크 물질의 dot 어레이 패턴을 안정적으로 제조하였으며, AFM 탐침과 기판 사이의 접촉시간에 따라 패턴 크기가 선형적으로 증가하는 전형적인 DPN의 확산 메커니즘을 보였다.
