As a participant taking part in the ITER TF conductor R&D program, we developed two toroidal field conductors with variations of conduit thickness resulting in the different void fraction of the conductors. The estimated void fractions of the conductors are 31% and 33%. In this paper we present the details of the TF conductor development and performance test results of them carried out by the measurement of current sharing temperature under cyclic loading. Regarding the conductor development, the internal-Sn-processed $Nb_3Sn$ strand characteristics, strand cabling, twist pitch and characteristics of the conduit materials are presented. For the understanding of the conductor design and performance, the conductor test results are presented and the effect of the conductor design parameters such as void fraction and twist pitch is discussed based on the results.

석탄회를 NaOH로 용융시킨 후 수열 처리에 의하여 제올라이트 A를 합성하였다. NaOH/석탄회의 비, 용융 온도, $NaAlO_2$의 첨가량, 수열 처리 온도 및 시간이 생성된 제올라이트의 종류와 결정도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 결정도가 높은 제올라이트의 생성에 필요한 최적의 NaOH/석탄회의 중량비는 1.2, 최적의 용융 온도는 $550^{\circ}C$이었다. 용융된 석탄회로부터 $Si^{4+}$ 와 $Al^{3+}$의 용출은 교반 시간의 영향을 받지 않았다. 생성된 제올라이트의 형태는 첨가한 $NaAlO_2$의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 적은 양의 $NaAlO_2$를 첨가하면 제올라이트 X가 생성되나 $NaAlO_2$의 양이 증가하면 단일상의 제올라이트 A가 생성되었다. 수열처리 시간과 온도가 증가하면 제올라이트 A는 hydroxysodalite로 변화 하였다. 승온 속도를 낮춰 반응 온도까지의 도달시간을 증가시키면 결정도가 좋은 제올라이트 A를 얻을 수 있었다.

The multisource image fusion has become an active topic in the last few years owing to its higher segmentation rate. To enhance the accuracy of multimodal pig-body feature segmentation, a multisource image fusion method was employed. Nevertheless, the conventional multisource image fusion methods can not extract superior contrast and abundant details of fused image. To superior segment shape feature and detect temperature feature, a new multisource image fusion method was presented and entitled as NSST-GF-IPCNN. Firstly, the multisource images were resolved into a range of multiscale and multidirectional subbands by Nonsubsampled Shearlet Transform (NSST). Then, to superior describe fine-scale texture and edge information, even-symmetrical Gabor filter and Improved Pulse Coupled Neural Network (IPCNN) were used to fuse low and high-frequency subbands, respectively. Next, the fused coefficients were reconstructed into a fusion image using inverse NSST. Finally, the shape feature was extracted using automatic threshold algorithm and optimized using morphological operation. Nevertheless, the highest temperature of pig-body was gained in view of segmentation results. Experiments revealed that the presented fusion algorithm was able to realize 2.102-4.066% higher average accuracy rate than the traditional algorithms and also enhanced efficiency.

New ITO thin film of good performance has been developed by brand-new, plasma-damage-free sputtering process at the room temperature. The room temperature-processed ITO films with optimized conditions as neutral beam acceleration bias of -30V and In & Sn composition ratio of 99:01 gives lower resistivity as $4.22{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and higher transmittance over 90% a wavelength of 550 nm. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the films show a nano-crystalline structure.

Vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) has been widely attracted for academic research and industrial applications due to its metal-insulator transition (MIT) temperature close to room temperature. We synthesized VOx film on (0001) sapphire substrate with vanadium target (purity: 99.9%) using DC magnetron sputtering in Ar ambience at a pressure of $10^{-3}$ Torr at $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$. The VOx film subsequently was annealed at difference temperatures in ambience of Ar and $O_2$ gas mixture at $60{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. The structural properties of the films were investigated using scanning electron microscopic (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements. SEM reveal that small grains formed on the substrates with a roughness surface. XRD shows oriented $VO_2$(020) crystals was deposited on the $Al_2O_3$(006) substrate. From I-V measurements, the electric resistance near its MIT temperature were dramatically changed by ${\sim}10^4$ during heating and cooling the films. We will also discuss the temperature-dependent local structural changes around vanadium atoms using XAFS measurements.

The role of electromagnetic (EM) waves in magnetic fusion plasma-ranging from radio frequency (RF) to microwaves-has been extremely important, and understanding of EM wave propagation and related technology in this field has significantly advanced magnetic fusion plasma research. Auxiliary heating and current drive systems, aided by various forms of high-power RF and microwave sources, have contributed to achieving the required steady-state operation of plasmas with high temperatures (i.e., up to approximately 10 keV; 1 eV=10000 K) that are suitable for future fusion reactors. Here, various resonance values and cut-off characteristics of wave propagation in plasmas with a nonuniform magnetic field are used to optimize the efficiency of heating and current drive systems. In diagnostic applications, passive emissions and active sources in this frequency range are used to measure plasma parameters and dynamics; in particular, measurements of electron cyclotron emissions (ECEs) provide profile information regarding electron temperature. Recent developments in state-of-the-art 2D microwave imaging systems that measure fluctuations in electron temperature and density are largely based on ECE. The scattering process, phase delays, reflection/diffraction, and the polarization of actively launched EM waves provide us with the physics of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and transport physics.

An apparatus for generating flames and more particularly the microwave plasma burner for generating high-temperature large-volume plasma flame was presented. The plasma burner was composed of micvrowave transmission lines, a field applicator, discharge tube, coal and gas supply systems, and a reactor. The plasma burner is operated by injecting coal powders into a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma torch and by mixing the resultant gaseous hydrogen and carbon compounds with plasma-forming gas. We in this work used air, oxygen, steam, and their mixtures as a discharge gas or oxidant gas. The microwave plasma torch can instantaneously vaporize and decompose the hydrogen and carbon containing fuels. It was observed that the flame volume of the burner was more than 50 times that of the torch plasma. The preliminary experiments were carried out by measuring the temperature profiles of flames along the radial and axial directions. We also investigated the characteristics for coal combustion and gasification by analyzing the byproducts from the exit of reactor. As expected, various byproducts such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc. were detected. It is expected that such burner cab be applied to coal gasification, hydrocarbon reforming, industrial boiler of power plants, etc.

IZTO and ITO thin films with a thickness of 200nm were deposited on Corning glass substrate to investigate the effects of substrate temperature on their electrical and optical properties by using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering with a sintered ceramic target of IZTO (In2O3 70 wt.%, ZnO 15 wt.%, SnO2 15 wt.%) and ITO (In2O3 90 wt.%, SnO2 10 wt.%). We investigated the structural, electrical, and optical properties of IZTO and ITO films. The structural and electrical properties of both films are sensitive on the substrate temperature. As the substrate temperature is increased, the electrical resistivity of ITO films is improved, but that of IZTO film increase over than $100^{\circ}C$. All IZTO and ITO thin films have good optical properties, which showed an average of transmittance over 80%. As a result, IZTO films can be a possible material for flexible display due to the low processing temperature.

Hydrotalcite, layered double hydroxides (LDH), with hexagonal morphology has been rapidly synthesized by microwave reaction within 1 hour by urea hydrolysis from homogeneous solution. Different synthesis parameters, Mg/Al molar ratio, microwave reaction temperature and microwave power were systematically investigated. Pure hydrotalcite phase was obtained for Mg/Al ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, and higher reaction temperature gave higher crystallinity. The hydrotalcite synthesized at 600W power shows the highest crystallinity and more homogeneous crystal size distribution. The hydrotalcite samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning electron micrograph (SEM).

Cycle test for developed phase change material (PCM) is necessary in order to assess the variation of latent heat, which decreases with time by deterioration. T-history method and measurement using heat-flux meter are appropriate for the cycle test in a tube filled with PCM because they do not need an extraction of sample in measuring heat of fusion. In the present study, these methods were applied to a PCM having a melting point below a room temperature, different to the past studies for PCMs melting above a room temperature. As a result of experiment using pure water as specimen, we can obtained rea-sonable values for heat of fusion.
