폴리프로필렌(PP)을 매트릭스로, 황산처리된 녹조류(SGA)를 보강재로 사용한 바이오복합재료(biocomposites)의 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 그래핀(GNP)의 평균입자크기와 첨가량에 따른 SGA/GNP/PP 복합재료를 제조하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. GNP의 첨가량에 의해 굴곡강도 및 충격강도는 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 반면에, SGA와 GNP의 영향으로 인해 굴곡탄성률 및 저장탄성률은 크게 증가하였다. 평균입자크기가 $5{\mu}m$(GNP5)인 크기가 작은 GNP를 보강재로 사용하였을 경우 평균입자크기가 $15{\mu}m$(GNP15)인 GNP를 보강재로 사용한 복합재료와 비교하여 상대적으로 우수한 기계적 특성을 보였다. 이는 상대적으로 GNP5의 효과적인 분산에 기인한 것이다. 반면에, GNP5를 보강재로 사용한 복합재료의 열팽창에 대한 저항 특성은 GNP15와 비교하여 상대적으로 감소한 결과를 나타내었으며, 이는 열전도 특성이 우수한 GNP5가 상대적으로 넓고 고르게 분포되어있기 때문에 복합재료 전체에 열이 쉽게 전달되었기 때문으로 해석할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 SGA/GNP/PP 복합소재는 굴곡저항, 저장탄성률, 댐핑특성 등은 충분히 향상되어 범용 바이오컴포지트로 적용가능하였다.

The present work investigates a heat transfer phenomenon at the interface between a porous medium and an impermeable wall. In an effort to appropriately describe the heat transfer phenomenon at the interface, the heat transfer at the interface between the microchannel heat sink, which is an ideally organized porous medium, and the finite-thickness substrate is examined. From the examination, it is clarified that the he heat flux distribution at the interface is not uniform for the impermeable wall with finite thickness. On the other hand, the first approach, based on the energy balance for the representative elementary volume in the porous medium, is physically reason able. When the first approach is applied to the thermal boundary condition, and additional boundary condition based on the local thermal equilibrium assumption at the interface is used. This additional boundary condition is applicable except for the very th in impermeable wall. Hence, for practical situations, the first approach in combination with the local thermal equilibrium assumption at the interface is suggested as an appropriate thermal boundary condition. In order to confirm our suggestion, convective flows both in a microchannel heat sink and in a sintered porous channel subject to a constant heat flux condition are analyzed. The analytically obtained thermal resistance of the microchannel heat sink and the numerically obtained overall Nusselt number for the sintered porous channel are shown to be in close agreement with available experimental results when our suggestion for the thermal boundary conditions is applied.

In Special Concentrically Braced Frames (SCBFs), vertical and horizontal components of the brace force must be resisted by column and beam, respectively but normal force component existing at the gusset plate-to-column and beam interfaces, creates out-of-plane action making distortion in column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate. It is a main concern in Hollow Structural Section (HSS) columns and beams where their webs and gusset plate are not in the same plane. In this paper, a new gusset plate passing through the HSS columns and beams, named as through gusset plate, is proposed to study the force transfer mechanism in such gusset plates of SCBFs compared to the case with conventional gusset plates. For this purpose, twelve SCBFs with diagonal brace and HSS columns and twelve SCBFs with chevron brace and HSS columns and beams are considered. For each frame, two cases are considered, one with through gusset plates and the other with conventional ones. Based on numerical results, using through gusset plates prevents distortion and out-of-plane deformation at HSS column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate helping the entire column and beam cross-sections to resist respectively vertical and horizontal components of the brace force. Moreover, its application increases energy dissipation, lateral stiffness and strength around 28%, 40% and 32%, respectively, improving connection behavior and raising the resistance of the normal force components at the gusset plate-to-HSS column and beam interfaces to approximately 4 and 3.5 times, respectively. Finally, using such through gusset plates leads to better structural performance particularly for HSS columns and beams with larger width-to-thickness ratio elements.

Melting curve analysis of fluorescently labeled DNA fragments is used extensively for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP). Here, we evaluated a SNP genotyping method by melting curve analysis with the two probe chemistries in a 384-well plate format on a Roche LightCycler 480. The HybProbe chemistry is based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET) and the SimpleProbe chemistry uses a terminal self-quenching fluorophore. We evaluated FRET HybProbes and SimpleProbes for two SNP sites closely linked to two quantitative trait loci(QTL) for southern root-knot nematode resistance. These probes were used to genotype the two parents and 94 $F_2$ plants from the cross of PI 96354$\times$Bossier. The SNP genotypes of all samples determined by the LightCycler software agreed with previously determined SSR genotypes and the SNP genotypes determined on a Luminex 100 flow cytometry instrument. Multiplexed HybProbes for the two SNPs showed a 98.4% success rate and 100% concordance between repeats two of the same 96 DNA samples. Also, we developed a HybProbe assay for the Rcs3 gene conditioning broad resistance to the frogeye leaf spot(FLS) disease. The LightCycler 480 provides rapid PCR on 384-well plate and allows simultaneous amplification and analysis in approximately 2 hours without any additional steps after amplification. This allowed for a reduction of the potential contamination of PCR products, simplicity, and enablement of a streamlined workflow. The melting curve analysis on the LightCycler 480 provided high-throughput and rapid SNP genotyping and appears highly effective for marker-assisted selection in soybean.

The core aim of this dissertation is to empirically scrutinize a strength characteristic of beam-column frame subjected to the cyclic lateral load, a beam-column frame of un-reinforced masonry wall, and a shear wall frame. First and foremost, I embark upon making three prototypes vis-$\grave{a}$-vis this research. By conducting this process, I touch on an analysis of cyclic behavior and a damage characteristic of the beam-column frame, the beam-column frame of un-reinforced masonry wall, and the shear wall frame. What is more, through the previous procedure, the next part delves into the exact stress transfer path and the destructive mechanism to examine how much and how strong the beam-column frame of un-reinforced Masonry Wall does have a resistance capacity against earthquake in all the architecture constructed by the above-mentioned frame, as well as school buildings. In addition to the three prototypes, two more experimental models, a beam-column frame and shear wall frame, are used to compare with the beam-column frame of un-reinforced masonry wall. Lastly, the dissertation will suggest some solutions to improve the resistance capacity against earthquake regarding all constructions built with non bearing wall following having examining precisely all the analysis with regard to not only behavior properties and the damage mechanism of the beam-column frame and the beam-column frame of un-reinforced Masonry Wall but also the resistance capacity against earthquake of non bearing wall and school buildings.

Following an internal column failure, adjacent double-span beams above the failed column will play a critical role in the load transfer and internal force redistribution within the remaining structure, and the span-to-depth ratios of double-span beams significantly influence the structural resistance capacity against progressive collapse. Most existing studies have focused on the collapse-resistant performances of single-story symmetric structures, whereas limited published works are available on the collapse resistances of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. To this end, in this study, numerical models based on shell elements were employed to investigate the structural behavior of multi-story steel frames with unequal spans. The simulation models were validated using the previous experimental results obtained for single- and two-story steel frames, and the load-displacement responses and internal force development of unequal-span three-story steel frames under three cases were comprehensively analyzed. In addition, the specific contributions of the different mechanism resistances of unequal-span, double-span beams of each story were separated quantitatively using the energy equilibrium theory, with an aim to gain a deeper level of understanding of the load-resistance mechanisms in the unequal-span steel frames. The results showed that the axial and flexural mechanism resistances were determined by the span ratio and linear stiffness ratio of double-span beams, respectively.

The sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) is one of the Gen-IV reactors with the most operating experience accumulated. Although the technology level is the most mature among the Gen-IV reactors, there is still a safety problem that has not been solved, which is the sodium-water reaction. Since sodium and water are separated only by a heat transfer tube with a thickness of only a few mm, there is inherently a risk of a sodium-water reaction (SWR) accident in the SFR. In this study, it is attempted to quantitatively evaluate the resistance of SWR accidents by replacing the shell and tube steam generator with printed circuit steam generator (PCSG) as a method to mitigate the SWR accident. To do this, a CATS-S (Compact Accident Tolerance Steam Generator-SWR) facility was designed and built. And for the quantitative evaluation of accident resistance, a methodology for measuring the impingement wastage rate was established. As a result of this research, the impingement wastage rate caused by SWR generated in a PCSG was measured first time. It was confirmed that the impingement wastage phenomenon was suppressed in the PCSG, and the accident resistance was higher than that of the SWR through comparison with the experimental results performed in the existing shell and tube steam generator. In conclusion, a PCSG is more resistant to impingement wastage as a result of the SWR accident than existing shell and tube steam generators, and it is estimated that a PCSG can mitigate SWR accidents, an inherent problem of SFR.

매입말뚝의 주면마찰력은 공벽에 주입되는 시멘트풀로 발휘되므로, 시멘트풀이 양생되기 이전에 수행되는 초기항타시험으로 매입말뚝의 주면마찰력을 평가할 수 없다. 또한, 재항타시험 시 항타에너지 부족으로 충분히 선단지지력이 발휘되지 않아 매입말뚝의 최종 지지력이 제대로 평가되지 않을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 매입말뚝의 초기항타시험과 재항타시험의 결과를 조합하는 새로운 하중-침하량 곡선을 제안하고자 하였다. 현장에 시험말뚝을 매입말뚝공법으로 시공하였으며, 초기항타 및 재항타시험을 수행하고 동재하시험 결과에 대하여 CAPWAP(CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program) 분석을 수행하였다. 초기항타 시 선단 지지거동과 재항타 시 주면 지지거동을 조합한 말뚝 내 하중전이곡선을 가정하였으며, 하중-침하량 곡선을 새롭게 산정하였다. 또한 조합된 하중-침하량 곡선을 이용하여 시험말뚝의 지지력을 평가하였으며 이를 초기항타 및 재항타시험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 조합된 하중-침하량 곡선으로 산정된 지지력은 항타에너지 부족으로 인한 지지력 과소평가를 극복할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 가정된 하중전이곡선은 초기항타 및 재항타시험 결과와 비교했을 때 매입말뚝의 지지거동에 더 가까우므로, 조합된 하중-침하량 곡선을 이용함으로써 정재하시험 결과와 더 유사한 지지력을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제안한 조합된 하중-침하량 곡선을 사용함으로써 매입말뚝의 동재하시험 시 지지력을 효과적으로 평가할 수 있다.

Energy storage systems should address issues such as power fluctuations and rapid charge-discharge; to meet this requirement, CoFe₂O₄ (CFO) spinel nanoparticles with a suitable electrical conductivity and various redox states are synthesized and used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. In particular, CFO electrodes combined with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can provide long-term cycling stability by fabricating binder-free three-dimensional electrodes. In this study, CFO-decorated CNFs are prepared by electrospinning and a low-cost hydrothermal method. The effects of heat treatment, such as the activation of CNFs (ACNFs) and calcination of CFO-decorated CNFs (C-CFO/ACNFs), are investigated. The C-CFO/ACNF electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 142.9 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and superior rate capability of 77.6% capacitance retention at a high scan rate of 500 mV/s. This electrode also achieves the lowest charge transfer resistance of 0.0063 Ω and excellent cycling stability (93.5% retention after 5,000 cycles) because of the improved ion conductivity by pathway formation and structural stability. The results of our work are expected to open a new route for manufacturing hybrid capacitor electrodes containing the C-CFO/ACNF electrode that can be easily prepared with a low-cost and simple process with enhanced electrochemical performance.

본 연구에서 PSS로 도핑된 EB와 LEB 형태의 폴리아닐린 필름을 ITO전극위에 m-cresol, chloroform 혼합용액을 도포시켜 제조하였다. UV 실험결과로부터 m-cresol에 의한 이차 도핑 효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 폴리아닐린 필름의 전도도는 증가하였다. 이차도핑에 의한 전도도 향상은 제조된 폴리아닐린과 m-cresol의 상호작용에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 폴리아닐린의 전기화학적 실험결과 LEB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극의 산화 환원 피크 전류는 EB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극보다 더 크고 가역적인 것을 CV를 통해 구할 수 있었다. 또한 전하전달 저항은 m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, LEB/PSS 전극의 전하 전달 저항 값이 EB/PSS 전극보다 작았다. 이것은 CV에서 얻은 경향과 일치하였다. 제조된 폴리아닐린 전극 모두 이중층 용량과 용액저항은 일정하였으며, 용액저항은 주파수에 무관한 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 PSS로 도핑된 폴리아닐린은 가상적인 n형 전도성 고분자의 특성을 나타내었다.
