  • 서로 다른 술폰화 정도에 따라 sulfonated star branched poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) triblock copolymer (SSBS)가 합성되었다. 술폰화된 butadiene block은 FT-IR spectroscopy로 확인할 수 있다. 술폰화 정도를 측정 비교하기 위해서 산-염기 적정을 통하여, ion exchange capacity (IEC)를 계산하였다. 술폰화된 SSEB 전해질막은 높은 water uptake와 proton conductivity를 보였다. 실온에서 25 mol% 술폰화된 SSBS는 0.114 S/cm라는 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 이는 Nafion과 비슷한 수치였다. 일정한 상대 습도에서 온도의 증가는 현저하게 높은 수소이온전도도를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 모든 술폰화된 막은 Nafion과 비교했을 때 낮은 methanol 투과도를 보여주었다. AFM을 이용하여 술폰화된 전해질막의 구조는 이른바 분리된 나노구조의 미세상과 ionic channel의 접속으로 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness (SR) of 2 types of orthodontic archwires made by 4 different manufacturers. Methods: This in vitro experimental study was conducted on 35 specimens of 7 different orthodontic archwires, namely, 1 nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwire each from the manufacturers American Orthodontics, OrthoTechnology, All-Star Orthodontics, and Smart Technology, and 1 stainless steel (SS) archwire each from the manufacturers American Orthodontics, OrthoTechnology, and All-Star Orthodontics. Aft er analyzing the composition of each wire by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, the SR of each wire was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface profilometry. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (${\alpha}$ < 0.05). Results: The average SR of NiTi wires manufactured by Smart Technology, American Orthodontics, OrthoTechnology, and All-Star Orthodontics were $1,289{\pm}915A^{\circ}$, $1,378{\pm}372A^{\circ}$, $2,444{\pm}369A^{\circ}$, and $5,242{\pm}2,832A^{\circ}$, respectively. The average SR of SS wires manufactured by All-Star Orthodontics, OrthoTechnology, and American Orthodontics were $710{\pm}210A^{\circ}$, $1,831{\pm}1,156A^{\circ}$, and $4,018{\pm}2,214A^{\circ}$, respectively. Similar to the results of profilometry, the SEM images showed more defects and cracks on the SS wire made by American Orthodontics and the NiTi wire made by All-Star Orthodontics than others. Conclusions: The NiTi wire manufactured by All-Star Orthodontics and the SS wire made by American Orthodontics were the roughest wires.

  • In this paper, new tethered aerial robots including roaming tethered aerial robots (RTARs) for radioactive material sampling and stationary tethered aerial robots (STARs) for environment monitoring are proposed to meet extremely-long-endurance missions of nuclear power plants. The flight of the proposed tethered aerial robots may last for a few days or even a few months as long as the tethered cable provides continuous power. A high voltage AC or DC power system was newly adopted to reduce the mass of the tethered cable. The RTAR uses a tethered cable spooled from the aerial robot and an aerial tension control system. The aerial tension control system provides the appropriate tension to the tethered cable, which is accordingly laid down on the ground as the RTAR roams. The STAR includes a tethered cable spooled from the ground and a ground tension control system, which enables the STAR to reach high altitudes. Prototypes of the RTAR and STAR were designed and successfully demonstrated in outdoor environments, where the load power, power type, operating frequency, and flight attitude of the RTAR and STAR were: 180 W, AC 100 kHz, and 20 m; and 300 W, AC or DC 100 kHz, and 80 m, respectively.

  • We present the results of long-term simultaneous monitoring observations (~ 12 years) of H2O (22 GHz) maser and several vibrationally excited lines of SiO J = 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 masers (43, 86, 129 GHz) carried out with the 21-m antennas of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) toward a sample of three AGB stars (RT Vir, RR Aql, IRC-10151) that are believed to be semiregular variable star, Mira variable star, and OH/IR star, respectively, according to a sequential evolutionary phase of AGB star. A total 10 transitions were observed, of which we detected H2O, SiO 𝝊 = 1 and 2, J = 1-0, SiO 𝝊 = 1, J = 2-1 and J = 3-2 maser lines in all three target objects, depending on the observational epochs. In this study, we scrutinize the evolutionary traits of each target object based on the maser line profiles, flux/velocity variations, and phase lags with the optical light curves. The IRAS two color diagram and the infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the wavelength range from 1.2 to 240 ㎛ of three observed sources were also analyzed.

  • It is suggested that a flying-by star in a hot accretion disk may cool the hot accretion disk by the Comptonization of the stellar emission. Such a stellar cooling can be observed in the radio frequency regime since synchrotron luminosity depends strongly on the electron temperature of the accretion flow. If a bright star orbiting around the supermassive black hole cools the hot disk, one should expect a quasi-periodic modulation in radio, or even possible an anti-correlation of luminosities in radio and X-rays. Recently, the unprecedentedly accurate infrared imaging of the Sagittarius A$\ast$ for about ten years enables us to resolve stars around it and thus determine orbital parameters of the currently closest star S2. We explore the possibility of using such kind of observation to distinguish two quite different physical models for the central engine of the Sagittarius A$\ast$, that is, a hot accretion disk model and a jet model. We have attempted to estimate the observables using the observed parameters of the star S2. The relative difference in the electron temperature is a few parts of a thousand at the epoch when the star S2 is near at the pericenter. The relative radio luminosity difference with and without the stellar cooling is also small of order $10^{-4}$, particularly even when the star S2 is near at the pericenter. On the basis of our findings we tentatively conclude that even the currently closest pass of the star S2 is insufficiently close enough to meaningfully constrain the nature of the Sagittarius A$\ast$ and distinguish two competing models. This implies that even though Bower et al. (2002)have found no periodic radio flux variations in their data set from 1981 to 1998, which is naturally expected from the presence of a hot disk, a hot disk model cannot be conclusively ruled out. This is simply because the energy bands they have studied are too high to observe the effect of the star S2 even if it indeed interacts with the hot disk. In other words, even if there is a hot accretion disk the star like S2 has imprints in the frequency range at v $\le$ 100 MHz.

  • 전 세계적으로 환경오염 문제로 국제해사기구인 IMO(International Maritime Organization)에서는 이산화탄소 배출량과 관련된 지수인 EEDI(Energy Efficiency Design Index)를 만들어 새로 건조되는 선박들에 대한 규제를 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 158k 원유운반선의 선형과 프로펠러 후류를 분석하여 새로운 형태의 에너지 저감 장치인 ring stator를 제안하였다. 최근의 선박들은 반류가 적은 즉 선미부 유속이 빠른 경향으로 발전되고 있어 덕트가 포함된 ESD(Energy Saving Device)는 저속비대선이라도 컨테이너선처럼 적용하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서 제안한 ring stator는 이러한 점을 고려하여 새로이 개발된 장치로써 자항 성능 향상 뿐 아니라 저항 성능의 최소화를 목표로 설계를 진행하였다. Star-CCM+의 상용 프로그램을 활용하여 CFD 해석을 통해 설계한 ring stator의 성능을 확인하였고 최종 제시한 설계안에 대해 약 3.4 %의 추진 효율 개선 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 설계된 ring stator에 대한 실험과의 비교 등을 통해 성능 검증 및 보다 정도 높은 최적화에 대한 연구를 추후 수행할 계획이다.

  • Nearby spiral galaxies M101 and M81 are considered to have undergone a galaxy-galaxy interaction. M101 has experienced HI gas infall due to the interaction. With AKARI far-infrared (IR) photometric observations, we found regions with enhanced star forming activity, which are spatially close to regions affected by the interaction. In addition, the relation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the gas content for such regions shows a significant difference from typical spiral arm regions. We discuss possible explanations for star formation processes on a kiloparsec scale and the association with interaction-triggered star formation. We also observed the compact group of galaxies Stephan's Quintet (SQ) with the AKARI Far-infrared Surveyor (FIS). The SQ shows diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM) due to multiple collisions between the member galaxies and the IGM. The intruder galaxy NGC 7318b is currently colliding with the IGM and causes a large-scale shock. The 160 micron image clearly shows the structure along the shock ridge as seen in warm molecular hydrogen line emission and X-ray emission. The far-IR emission from the shocked region comes from the luminous [CII]$158{\mu}m$ line and cold dust (~ 20 K) that coexist with molecular hydrogen gas. Survival of dust grains is indispensable to form molecular hydrogen gas within the collision age (~ 5 Myr). At the stage of the dusty IGM environment, [CII] and $H_2$ lines rather than X-ray emission are powerful cooling channels to release the collision energy.

  • 세계는 지속가능개발에 대한 관심을 가져왔고, 지속가능의 3가지 가치(환경보전성, 경제성장성, 사회발전성)를 중요시 여겼다. Rio+20 회담은 "녹색경제"에 대해 주목하고 지속가능개발을 위한 방안을 모색하려 했지만, 결론적으로 Rio+20에서 제시한 "The Future We Want"에 대한 답을 찾지 못하여 많은 아쉬움을 가지고 있다. 또한 지속가능개발의 3가지 가치만으로는 지속적인 발전에 한계가 있다고 판단되고, "The Future We Want"에 대한 해답과 지속가능개발의 발전을 위한 방안으로써 5가지 가치 즉, 녹색별(환경보전성, 경제성장성, 사회발전성, 과학기술성, 자율자발성)을 제안한다. 그리고 4대강사업의 결과를 녹색별로 검증함으로써 녹색별 모델을 지속가능발전을 위한 새로운 패러다임으로 제시하고, 대한민국의 안녕강국을 기대한다.
