A suitable ground motion intensity measure (IM) plays a crucial role in the seismic performance assessment of a structure. In this paper, we introduce a scalar IM for use in evaluating the seismic response of single-layer reticulated domes. This IM is defined as the weighted geometric mean of the spectral acceleration ordinates at the periods of the dominant vibration modes of the structure considered, and the modal strain energy ratio of each dominant vibration mode is the corresponding weight. Its applicability and superiority to 11 other existing IMs are firstly investigated in terms of correlation with the nonlinear seismic response, efficiency and sufficiency using the results of incremental dynamic analyses which are performed for a typical single-layer reticulated dome. The hazard computability of this newly proposed IM is also briefly discussed and illustrated. A conclusion is drawn that this dominant vibration mode-based scalar IM has the characteristics of strong correlation, high efficiency, good sufficiency as well as hazard computability, and thereby is appropriate for use in the prediction of seismic response of single-layer reticulated domes.

Efforts have been made to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from ships by limiting the energy efficiency index, and net zero CO₂ emission was proposed recently. The most ideal measure to achieve zero emission ship is electrification, and fuel cells are considered as a practical power source of the electrified propulsion system. The electric efficiency in the electrochemical reaction of fuel cells can be achieved up to 60% practically. The remaining energy is converted to heat energy but most of them are dissipated by cooling. In the author's previous research, a hybrid propulsion system utilizing not only electricity but also heat was introduced by combining electric motor and steam turbine. In this article, long term efficiency is evaluated for the introduced hybrid propulsion system by considering a virtual 24,000 TEU class container carrier model. To reflect a more practical operating condition, the actual navigation data of a similar real ship in the real world were collected from automatic identification system data and applied. From the result, the overall efficiency of the hybrid propulsion system is expected to be higher than a conventional electric propulsion fuel cell ship by 30%.

Polymer induced turbulent drag reduction in a rotating disk apparatus was investigated using four different molecular weights of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) in a synthetic seawater solution for the purpose of potential application to the cold water piping in the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) system. To apply drag reduction to the OTEC we measured the temperature dependence on the drag reduction efficiency. From this study, it was found that the drag reduction efficiency increases with the temperature and the concentration. To measure the drag reduction efficiency during the operation period, the drag reduction behavior was detected as a function of time and the results obtained from the experiment was compared to the Brostow's model equation.

Purpose - Urban agglomeration construction is one of national strategic plans to accelerate the development of industrialization and urbanization in China, which has threatened the eco-environmental quality at the same time. This paper selected the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River as the research area. Research design, data, and methodology - The the slack-based measurement (SBM) model considering undesirable outputs is applied to measure the eco-efficiency of this urban agglomerations during 2006-2015. Results - The empirical results show that average eco-efficiency of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is 0.595. Regional ecological development is unbalanced. The highest eco-efficiency is recorded at Wuhan Metropolitan Area, and the lowest one is at the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group. Energy consumption and waste dust emissions are the key factors led to ecological inefficiency. Based on this, potentials for energy saving and waste dust reducing are calculated. Conclusions - Finally, this study provides policy implications targeted to promote the coordinating development of economy and eco-environment under the construction of urban agglomeration.

주어진 열원에서 유기 랭킨 사이클 시스템을 통해 얻을 수 있는 최대 출력 조건에서의 최적 효율을 구하기 위한 이론식을 유도하였으며, 이것이 작동 유체의 열물성치에 의한 엔탈피를 기초로 하여 계산된 열효율과 비교하여 잘 일치되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 유도된 결과식에 의해 최대 출력은 열원의 열용량과 초기 온도 그리고 핀치점 온도차만의 함수임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 때의 효율은 열원의 열용량과 관계없이 입열원과 방출열원 초기 온도와 핀치점 온도차의 함수임을 알 수 있었다. 여기서 구한 최대 출력시의 효율식은 실제 랭킨 사이클 시스템의 설계를 위한 최적 설계지표로 사용될 수 있으며 실제 발전소의 성능 예측을 위한 최적 효율로도 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Reducing surface recombination is a critical factor for high efficiency silicon solar cells. The passivation process is for reducing dangling bonds which are carrier. Tunnel oxide layer is one of main issues to achieve a good passivation between silicon wafer and emitter layer. Many research use wet-chemical oxidation or thermally grown which the highest conversion efficiencies have been reported so far. In this study, we deposit ultra-thin tunnel oxide layer by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) using $N_2O$ plasma. Both side deposit tunnel oxide layer in different RF-power and phosphorus doped a-Si:H layer. After deposit, samples are annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in $N_2$ gas atmosphere. After annealing, samples are measured lifetime and implied Voc (iVoc) by QSSPC (Quasi-Steady-State Photo Conductance). After measure, samples are annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30 minute in $Ar/H_2$ gas atmosphere and then measure again lifetime and implied VOC. The lifetime is increase after all process also implied VOC. The highest results are lifetime $762{\mu}s$, implied Voc 733 mV at RF-power 200 W. The results of C-V measurement shows that Dit is increase when RF-power increase. Using this optimized tunnel oxide layer is attributed to increase iVoc. As a consequence, the cell efficiency is increased such as tunnel mechanism based solar cell application.

기존 무선에너지 하비스팅시스템에서 유저는 하나의 Hybirid-AP (H-AP)로부터 에너지와 정보를 동시에 받았다. 하지만 무선에너지 하비스팅은 거리가 멀수록 감쇄가 심하기 때문에 H-AP에서 거리가 먼 유저들은 낮은 하비스팅 효율 가진다 (이중 근거리/원거리 문제). 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문은 Power beacon (PB)을 통해 유저에게 별도의 파워를 공급하는 비결합 무선에너지 하비스팅 네트워크를 시스템 모델로 사용하였다. 이 논문의 주된 목적은 다양한 제약 조건과 Quality of service (QoS), 그리고 Quality of harvested power (QoP)를 만족하면서 목적 함수인 Energy efficiency (EE)를 최대화 하는 것이다. 제안된 시스템은 라그랑지안 쌍대 분해법 이론을 기반으로 EE 최대화를 위한 최적의 시간 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘을 통해 프레임 분해 요소, H-AP의 송신파워, 그리고 PB의 송신파워의 최적 값과 EE의 최대값을 구할 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과는 제안된 알고리즘으로 파라미터가 최적 값으로 빠르게 수렴하고 제안된 모델의 성능이 기존의 시스템 모델보다 우수하다는 것을 증명한다.

Energy saving starts by knowing how much energy is being consumed. A building factor is easier than any other things in energy saving. Since, especially, it is closely connected with user's space-use-patterns and manager's utility-operation-style. An energy metering system lets building users know about energy consumption pattern in buildings and measure energy in real time. Development and materialization of metering systems need more careful plans, so that they depend on a demand of individual facilities and available infrastructures they used to use. But, so far, there is no guidelines how to install metering systems. This paper suggested how to install meters and researched a method for how to analyze by using metered data. For that, Green Building in KIER is used as a test bed. As the results, nevertheless the smallest number of meters is basically one for the whole building energy measuring, it is too limited in analysis. So we needed to add the sort of fuel and utility types and found that it depends on all cases. For this reasons, a guideline should be created in order to install meters as soon as possible. It would be suggest a way to save more energy in building factor.

In this paper we introduce novel electrode structure for high efficiency discharge. We operate discharge tube under the 0.16 torr pure Xe and apply the sinusoidal wave power to the lamp with 60kHz. We measure the electric power dissipation, plasma parameters, and 828 nm IR intensity. From these data we determine the discharge efficiency, IR intensity/watt, EEDF(Electron energy distribution function). As a result we obtain that the novel electrode structure has better performance in efficiency than that of conventional external electrode system. Also we determine the EEDF for each type of electrode structure by Boltzmann stover, EELNDIF code. The result of Boltzmann equation solving show that the noble electrode system has many high energy electrons compared with the conventional system.
