A bidirectional DC-DC converter (BDC) is an indispensable electrical unit for the electric vehicles (EVs). High efficiency, high power density, isolation, light weight and reliability are all essential requirements for BDC. In this paper, a 3 kW BDC for the battery charger of EVs is proposed. The proposed converter consists of a half-bridge structure on the primary side and an isolation transformer and a synchronous rectifier structure on the secondary side. With this topology, minimum number of switching devices are required for bidirectional power flow between the two dc buses of EVs. The easy implementation of the synchronous rectification gives advantages in terms of efficiency, cost and flexibility. The proposed BDC achieves high efficiency when operating in both modes (step-up and step-down). A 3 kW prototype is implemented to verify theoretical analysis and the performance of the proposed converter.

Nanocrystalline silicon(nc-Si) thin films on the silicon substrates have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition(PLD). The optical and structural properties of films have been investigated depending on deposition temperature, annealing, and oxidation process. When the deposition temperature increased, photoluminescence(PL) intensity abruptly decreased and peaks showed red shift. Annealing process could reduce the number of defect centers. Oxidation had a considerable effect upon the formation and isolation of the nanocrystals. These results indicate that the formation mechanism of Si nanocrystals grown by PLD can be explained by three steps of growth, passivating defect centers, and isolation, sequentially.

The conventional method of structural seismic design was based on increasing structural capacity, which usually didn't reduce earthquake seismic effects. By changing the philosophy of structure design, technologies such as passive seismic control have been used in structures. So far, a large number of seismic isolation systems have been introduced to dissipate earthquake energy that is applied to a structure. These systems act against earthquakes rather than increasing the strength and capacity of the structure. In the present paper, a suspended column called a "pendulum column" is investigated, and a new idea has been considered to improve the performance of the pendulum column isolator by changing the gravity effect by adding a spring under the isolator system. The behavior of the studied isolator system has been researched. Then the isolator system was investigated under different earthquakes and compared with a common pendulum column isolator. The results show that changing the gravity effect has an effective role in the response of the system by reducing the system stiffness. Equations for the system showed that even in a special state, complete isolation is possible. Finally, the tested model verified the theory.

The possibility of earthquakes in vulnerable regions indicates that efficient technique is required for seismic protection of buildings. During the recent decades, the concept is moving towards the insertion of base isolation on seismic prone buildings. So, investigation of structural behavior is a burning topic for buildings to be isolated in base level by bearing device. This study deals with the incorporation of base isolation system and focuses the changes of structural responses for different types of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolators. A number of sixteen model buildings have been simulated selecting twelve types of bearing systems as well as conventional fixed-base (FB) scheme. The superstructures of the high-rise buildings are represented by finite element assemblage adopting multi-degree of freedoms. Static and dynamic analyses are carried out for FB and base isolated (BI) buildings. The dynamic analysis in finite element package has been performed by the nonlinear time history analysis (THA) based on the site-specific seismic excitation and compared employing eminent earthquakes. The influence of the model type and the alteration in superstructure behavior of the isolated buildings have been duly assessed. The results of the 3D multistory structures show that the lateral forces, displacement, inertia and story accelerations of the superstructure of the seismic prone buildings are significantly reduced due to bearing insertion. The nonlinear dynamic analysis shows 12 to 40% lessening in base shear when LRB is incorporated leading to substantial allowance of horizontal displacement. It is revealed that the LRB isolators might be potential options to diminish the respective floor accelerations, inertia, displacements and base shear whatever the condition coincides. The isolators with lower force intercept but higher isolation period is found to be better for decreasing base shear, floor acceleration and inertia force leading to reduction of structural and non-structural damage. However, LRB with lower isolator period seems to be more effective in dropping displacement at bearing interface aimed at reducing horizontal shift of building structure.

상수관망시스템 내 관로가 파손될 경우, 수리를 위해 파손 관로와 인접한 밸브를 차폐하게 된다. 이때, 밸브 차폐로 인해 관망의 일부분이 고립되어 용수공급이 차단되는 단수구역이 발생하게 된다. 단수구역은 파손 관을 포함한 직접고립지역과 직접고립지역으로 인해 의도치 않게 수원으로부터 물 공급이 차단되는 간접고립지역으로 구분된다. 따라서, 관 파손에 의한 단수구역 및 단수용량은 시스템 내 설치된 밸브의 개수와 위치에 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 상수관망시스템 내 최적의 밸브위치를 결정하기 위해 최적화 모형을 개발하고 적용하였다. 예시 관망을 대상으로 단수용량 최소화를 목적함수로 설정한 단목적 최적화와 단수용량과 밸브 설치비용을 동시에 최소화하는 다목적 최적화를 각각 수행하였으며, 두 가지 모형을 통해 도출된 최적 밸브설치 결과를 비교, 분석하였다.

Non-vascularized free composite graft is one of the simple and effective reconstructive options, but its clinical use has been limited due to questionable survival rate. Early vascularization is essential for graft survival and is mainly carried out via recipient bed or repaired sites. This study was designed to investigate the effect of the lateral marginal approximations on the survival of the free composite flap using a model of skin-subcutaneous composite graft in rats. Thirty 1.5 ${\times}$ 1.5 $cm^2$ sized square shape composite flaps were elevated freely and reposed in place immediately on the dorsum of five Sprague-Dawley rats, and divided into five groups of six flaps. In all groups, graft bed was isolated with silastic sheet. In the group I, all sides of flap were repaired with blockage of silastic sheet insertion. Three, two, and one sides of flap were treated with same method in the group II, III, and IV respectively. Other sides of flaps were repaired without blockage, so all sides of flap were repaired in the group V. At 14 days later, the survived rate of each flap was evaluated according to the numbers of the repair sites. Histological examination was done for the evaluation of new vessel development quantitatively. Overall survived rates were increased with the number of repaired sites, but the group V only showed increased survival rate up to more than fifty percentile of the flap size with a significant difference statistically. New vessels were also increased in proportion with the number of repaired sites, and the repair site more than two had significant effect on the increased number of new vessels. In conclusion, at least more than three-fourth of flap circumference should be repaired in order to increase flap survival effectively under the condition of bed isolation.

Although a rubber isolation cushion can reduce the dynamic response of a structure itself, it has little influence on the height of a sloshing wave and even may induce magnification action. Vertical baffles are set into a base-isolated Concrete Rectangular Liquid Storage Structure (CRLSS), and baffles are opened as holes to increase the energy dissipation of the damping. Problems of liquid nonlinear motion caused by baffles are described using the Navier-Stokes equation, and the space model of CRLSS is established considering the Fluid-Solid Interaction (FSI) based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The dynamic response of an isolated CRLSS with various baffles under an earthquake is analyzed, and the results are compared. The results show that when the baffle number is certain, the greater the number of holes in baffles, the worse the damping effects; when a single baffle with holes is set in juxtaposition and double baffles with holes are formed, although some of the dynamic response will slightly increase, the wallboard strain and the height of the sloshing wave evidently decrease. A configuration with fewer holes in the baffles and a greater number of baffles is more helpful to prevent the occurrence of two failure modes: wallboard leakage and excessive sloshing height.

본 연구는 현행 식품공전상 제시되어 있는 식중독균 분리배지의 평가를 위해 Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus의 5가지 식중독세균용 29가지 분리 선택배지를 Broth와 Food에서 시험하였다. Food는 닭고기, 쌀, 돼지고기, 고등어를 대상으로 5가지 식중독균을 접종후 균주의 recovery를 확인하였고. Broth는 5가지 식중독세균용 29가지 분리 선택배지를 사용하였다. Broth에서는 각 세정균에 대한 분리배지들 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나(P<0.05), Food에서는 그 차가 크지는 않았으나, 분리선택배지간의 분리능에 통계적 유의차가 존재하였다. 식품공전에 등재된 전통적인 분리 선택배지에서 분리된 균수가 Chromogenic 배지 등 새로운 선택배지에서 분리된 균수보다 많았다. 국제적으로 등재된 배지간의 선택성의 차이가 존재하였으며, 추후 다양한 배지가 식품공전에 등재되기 위해서는 추가 연구가 필요하다.
