Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is useful instrument for determining abundance of rare earth elements, due to very low detection limits and rapid data acquisition. In this article, two methods are used for decomposition of alkaline rocks; close vessel acid digestion and $Na_2Co_3$ fusion. The two analytical results show good agreements. Considering total dissolved solids and detection limits, the most adequate dilution factor is 5,000 times. Polyatomic ion interferences during analysis can give rise to Inaccuracies. After correction from oxide and hydroxide interference, the analytical result show 20-30% decrease for Gd and Tm, 10-20% decrease for Tb and Er. In comparing the analytical results from KORDI with other institutes, most rare earth elements abundance show good agreements except Lu.

Zinc diffusion characteristics and its applicabilities have been studied using an open-tube system. Thermal decomposition of arsenide(As) at gallium arsenide(GaAs) wafer surface was well inhibited by using Ga: poly-GaAs: Zn compositon as a diffusion source. Junction depth was obtained as 4.6x10**7\ulcorner exp)-1.25/kT) where activation energy of diffusion was 1.25eV. From Boltzmann-matano analysis, it could be identified that concentration dependencies of Zn diffusivity well consisted with those of kick-out model. The ideality factor of p+-n junction formed by Zn diffusion was about 1.6 and infrared light intensity was linearly varied in the range of sixty folds. It is concluded frodm these results that Zn diffuses according to kick-out model, and open-tube method is applicable to compound semiconductor devices.

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular method for multivariate analysis of nonnegative data, which is to decompose a data matrix into a product of two factor matrices with all entries restricted to be nonnegative. NMF was shown to be useful in a task of clustering (especially document clustering), but in some cases NMF produces the results inappropriate to the clustering problems. In this paper, we present an algorithm for orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization, where an orthogonality constraint is imposed on the nonnegative decomposition of a term-document matrix. The result of orthogonal NMF can be clearly interpreted for the clustering problems, and also the performance of clustering is usually better than that of the NMF. We develop multiplicative updates directly from true gradient on Stiefel manifold, whereas existing algorithms consider additive orthogonality constraints. Experiments on several different document data sets show our orthogonal NMF algorithms perform better in a task of clustering, compared to the standard NMF and an existing orthogonal NMF.

The effects of carbon content on the austenite stability and strain-induced transformation of nanocrystalline Fe-11% Ni alloys were investigated using X-ray analysis and mechanical tests. The nanocrystalline FeNiC alloy samples were rapidly fabricated using spark plasma sintering because of the extremely short densification time, which not only helped attain the theoretical density value but also prevented grain growth. The increased austenite stability resulted from nanosized crystallites in the sintered alloys. Increasing compressive deformation increased the volume fraction of strain-induced martensite from austenite decomposition. The kinetics of the strain-induced martensite formation were evaluated using an empirical equation considering the austenite stability factor. As the carbon content increased, the austenite stability was enhanced, contributing to not only a higher volume fraction of austenite after sintering, but also to the suppression of its strain-induced martensite transformation.

The probabilistic bearing capacity of a strip footing placed on the edge of a purely cohesive reinforced soil slope is computed by combining lower bound finite element limit analysis technique with random field method and Monte Carlo simulation technique. To simulate actual field condition, anisotropic random field model of undrained soil shear strength is generated by using the Cholesky-Decomposition method. With the inclusion of a single layer of reinforcement, dimensionless bearing capacity factor, N always increases in both deterministic and probabilistic analysis. As the coefficient of variation of the undrained soil shear strength increases, the mean N value in both unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces for particular values of correlation length in horizontal and vertical directions. For smaller correlation lengths, the mean N value of unreinforced and reinforced slopes is always lower than the deterministic solutions. However, with the increment in the correlation lengths, this difference reduces and at a higher correlation length, both the deterministic and probabilistic mean values become almost equal. Providing reinforcement under footing subjected to eccentric load is found to be an efficient solution. However, both the deterministic and probabilistic bearing capacity for unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces with the consideration of loading eccentricity.

This study is to evaluate the seismic capacity of the fire-damaged cabinet facility in a nuclear power plant (NPP). A prototype of an electrical cabinet is modeled using OpenSees for the numerical simulation. To capture the nonlinear behavior of the cabinet, the constitutive law of the material model under the fire environment is considered. The experimental record from the impact hammer test is extracted trough the frequency-domain decomposition (FDD) method, which is used to verify the effectiveness of the numerical model through modal assurance criteria (MAC). Assuming different temperatures, the nonlinear time history analysis is conducted using a set of fifty earthquakes and the seismic outputs are investigated by the fragility analysis. To get a threshold of intensity measure, the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is adopted for uncertainty reduction purposes. Finally, a capacity estimation model has been proposed through the investigation, which will be helpful for the engineer or NPP operator to evaluate the fire-damaged cabinet strength under seismic excitation. This capacity model is presented in terms of the High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) point. The results are validated by the proper judgment and can be used to analyze the influences of fire on the electrical cabinet.

본 연구에서는 열중량분석법(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis, TGA)을 이용하여 우레아 수용액의 농도와 열전달 속도가 우레아 수용액으로부터 암모니아가 생성되는 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 또한 1,000 $Nm^3$/h 규모의 유류 연소 보일러에 도입된 관통형 노즐을 사용하여 우레아의 분사방향을 상방과 하방으로 하였을 때를 비교함으로써 분사된 우레아가 지나는 경로에서 주위온도가 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 질소 또는 공기 분위기에서 수행된 열중량분석 실험에서, 우레아는 산소의 존재유무에 관계없이 동일한 열분해 과정을 거쳤으며, 우레아 수용액은 가열속도에 따라 매우 다른 무게 감량 경향을 보여 가열속도가 우레아의 분해에 중요한 인자임을 나타내었다. 농도가 10%~40%인 우레아 수용액에서 우레아 열분해 시작 온도는 큰 차이를 보이지 않으므로, 농도의 영향은 그리 크지 않았다. 위치가 다른 세 곳에서 온도를 동일하게 유지하였을 때 상부 분사인 경우 탈질 효율은 각각 68.1%, 71.8%, 70.8%로 나타나 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 동일 지역을 향하여 하부에서 분사한 경우와 상부에서 분사한 경우의 탈질 효율을 비교하면 각각 68.1%와 9.5%를 보여 동일한 지역에 분사된 우레아일지라도 분사방향에 따라 탈질 효율에는 큰 차이를 보였다.

함양-산청지역 하상퇴적물의 자연배경치와 부화특성을 알아보고, 지구화학적 재해에 대해 예견하였다. 오염의 우려가 없고, 집수분지를 대표할 수 있는 하상퇴적물 시료를 채취하였다. XRF, ICP-AES와 NAA 분석을 이용하여 주성분원소와 유해원소 함량을 얻었다. 산분해법은 1차로 $HClO_4$와 HF를 혼합하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 분해시킨 후, 2차로 $HClO_4$, HF 및 HCl를 혼합한 후 $200^{\circ}C$에서 분해시켜 이를 1% $HNO_3$용액으로 만들었다. 상관분석에서 하상퇴적물의 $SiO_2$ 함량이 증가할수록 Cu와 Co의 함량이 감소하는 특징을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 함양-산청내 환경유해원소 대부분 부화지수 2 이하로 부화되어 있었으며, 함양지역 하상퇴적물은 Pb>Th>Cr>V>Co>Cu순으로, 산청지역 하상퇴적물은 Pb>Th>Cr>Co>V>Cu순으로 부화되어 있었다. Pb, Cr, Co 및 V의 부화지수는 함양지역과 산청지역에서 거의 비슷한 부화특성을 보였으나, Th의 부화지수는 함양지역 지역에서, Cu의 부화지수는 산청지역에서 높은 부화특성을 보였다. Pb의 부화지수는 각각 2.24(함양), 2.57(산청) 이상으로 부화되어 있었지만, 토양 및 환경오염 허용 한계치(tolerable level)를 이용하여 살펴본 결과에서는 오염에 특별히 노출되지 않은 것으로 판단된다.

A novel energetic material, 1-amino-1-(2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazinyl)-2,2-dinitroethylene (APHDNE), was synthesized by the reaction of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) at 110 $^{\circ}C$. The theoretical investigation on APHDNE was curried out by B3LYP/6-311+$G^*$ method. The IR frequencies analysis and NMR chemical shifts were performed and compared with the experimental results. The thermal behavior of APHDNE was studied by DSC and TG/DTG methods, and can be divided into two crystal phase transition processes and three exothermic decomposition processes. The enthalpy, apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the first exothermic decomposition reaction were obtained as -525.3 kJ $mol^{-1}$, 276.85 kJ $mol^{-1}$ and $10^{26.22}s^{-1}$, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion of APHDNE is 237.7 $^{\circ}C$. The specific heat capacity of APHDNE was determined with micro-DSC method and theoretical calculation method, and the molar heat capacity is 363.67 J $mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ at 298.15 K. The adiabatic time-to-explosion of APHDNE was also calculated to be a certain value between 253.2-309.4 s. APHDNE has higher thermal stability than FOX-7.
