The heat transfer characteristics of the drag reducing polymer solutions are investigated experimentally in the thermal entrance region of circular tube flows. Fluids used in experiments are the aqueous solutions of high molecular polymer, polyacrylamide Separan AP-273 and the range of polymer concentrations is from 20 to 1000 wppm. Two stainless steel tubes with inside diameter 8.5mm(L/D=712) and 10.3mm(L/D=1160) are used for the heat transfer flow loops. The flow loop is set up to measure friction factors and heat transfer coefficients of test sections in two different modes; the recirculating flow system and once-through flow system. The test tubes are heated directly by electricity to apply the constant heat flux boundary conditions to the wall. Three different types of adaptors are used to observe the effects of the upstream flow conditions of the heat transfer test sections. The viscosity and characteristic relaxation time of the test fluids circulating in the flow system are measured by the capillary tube viscometer and falling ball viscometer at regular time intervals. The installed adaptors exhibit slight effect on the entrance heat transfer of Newtonian fluid. However, no noticeable effects are observed for the entrance heat transfer of the drag reducing fluids. The order of magnitude of the thermal entrance lengths of the drag reducing fluids which follow the minimum friction asymptote is much longer than that of Newtonian fluids in turbulent flows. A new dimensionless parameter, the viscoelastic Graetz number, is defined and all the experimental data are recasted in terms of the viscoelastic Graetz number. The local Nusselt number of the viscoelastic fluids is represented as a function of flow behavior index n and the viscoelastic Graetz number. As degradation continues the viscosity and the characteristic relaxation time of the testing fluids decrease. Weissenberg number defined by the relaxation time and D/V appears to be a proper dimensionless parameter in describing degradation effects on heat transfer of the viscoelastic fluids.

Inversion, one of the balanced rearrangements, usually does not lead to phenotypic abnormalities; all genetic information exists in the proper amount, merely in a different order or in an abnormal location. However, offspring of an inversion carrier is at risk of chromosomal imbalance because an inversion loop can be formed during crossing-over of the paternal and the maternal chromosomes in meiosis. We report a 38-year-old woman with inversion and balanced translocation and her fetus with unusual rearrangement causing chromosomal imbalance. We performed conventional cytogenetic analysis, MLPA, and subtelomeric FISH in the cells of the embryo. The results showed that the distal portion of chromosome 13q was added to the terminal portion of chromosome 9p during crossing-over. Therefore, the final karyotype of the fetus was 46,XY,rec(9)t(9;13)(p22;q32)inv(9)(p12q13)mat, confirmed using molecular-cytogenetic analyzing tools.

To test the performance of nuclear fuels, coolant needs to be circulated through the test rig installed in the test loop. Because the pressure and temperature of the coolant is 15.5 MPa and $300^{\circ}C$ respectively, coolant sealing is one of the most important processes in fabricating a nuclear fuel test rig. In particular, 15 instrumentation cables installed in a test rig pass through the pressure boundary, and brazing is generally applied as a sealing method. In this study, an induction brazing system has been developed using a high frequency induction heater including a vacuum chamber. For application in the nuclear field, BNi2 should be used as a paste, and optimal process variables for Ni brazing have been found by several case studies. The performance and soundness of the brazed components has been verified by a tensile test, cross section test, and sealing performance test.

Although barley $\alpha$-amylase isozyme 1 (AMY1) and 2 (AMY2) share up to 80% of amino acid sequence identity, their enzymatic properties differ remarkably. In this study, the 42nd alanine residue of AMY2 was replaced with another random amino acid via saturation mutagenesis. Eight out of 370 recombinant E. coli cells showing enhanced starch-hydrolyzing activity were characterized as possessing the same proline residue instead of alanine. Even though the specific activity of AMY2-A42P is reduced to 81% of wild-type, its expression level and purification yield were enhanced by approximately 2 and 4 times that of AMY2, respectively. Characterization of its enzymatic properties confirmed that AMY2-A42P is similar to that of wild-type. However, its specificity to starch substrates is likely to be intermediate between AMY1 and AMY2.

The tactical network is system based on wireless networking technologies that ties together surveillance reconnaissance systems, precision strike systems and command and control systems. Several alternative paths exist in the network because it is connected as a grid to improve its survivability. In addition, the network topology changes frequently as forces and combatants change their network access points while conducting operations. However, most Internet routing standards have been designed for use in stable backbone networks. Therefore, tactical networks may exhibit a deterioration in performance when these standards are implemented. In this paper, we propose Priority based Multi-Path routing with Local Optimization(PMPLO) for a tactical backbone network. The PMPLO separately manages the global and local metrics. The global metric propagates to other routers through the use of a routing protocol, and it is used for a multi-path configuration that is guaranteed to be loop free. The local metric reflects the link utilization that is used to find an alternate path when congestion occurs, and it is managed internally only within each router. It also produces traffic that has a high priority privilege when choosing the optimal path. Finally, we conducted a simulation to verify that the PMPLO can effectively distribute the user traffic among available routers.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ (R-744) in a horizontal tube was investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth, horizontal stainless steel tube of inner diameter of 4.57mm. The experiments were conducted at mass flux of 400 to $900kg/m^2s$, saturation temperature of 5 to $20^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to $40kW/m^2$. The test results showed the heat transfer of $CO_2$ has a greater effect on nucleate boiling more than convective boiling. Mass flux of $CO_2$ does not affect nucleate boiling too much. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, All of the existing correlations for the heat transfer coefficient underestimated the experimental data. However Jung et al.'s correlation showed a good agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, it is necessary to develope accurate predictions determining the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in horizontal tubes.

This paper presents a step-down DC-DC buck converter with a CCM/DCM dual-mode function for the internal power stage of portable electronic device. The proposed converter that is operated with a high frequency of 1 MHz consists of a power stage and a control block. The power stage has a power MOS transistor, inductor, capacitor, and feedback resistors for the control loop. The control part has a pulse width modulation (PWM) block, error amplifier, ramp generator, and oscillator. In this paper, an external capacitor for compensation has been replaced with a multiplier equivalent CMOS circuit for area reduction of integrated circuits. In addition, the circuit includes protection block, such as over voltage protection (OVP), under voltage lock out (UVLO), and thermal shutdown (TSD) block. The proposed circuit was designed and verified using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameter by Cadence Spectra circuit design program. The SPICE simulation results showed a peak efficiency of 94.8 %, a ripple voltage of 3.29 mV ripple, and a 1.8 V output voltage with supply voltages ranging from 2.7 to 3.3 V.

Satae cheon, a tributary of the Suip cheon in Yanggu, Gangwon province, is an international river extended to North Korea. Most of drainage basin area of the river was the fierce battle field during the Korean War(1950-1953) and hard to access as it located between the MDL(Military Demarcation Line) and the CCZ(Civilian Control Zone: about 10km south from MDL). By the restriction of access to the sites, most of natural landscape have been well conserved except limited use for military activities. Even the landfoms in that area were not studied, except the government's heritage reports. Satae Cheon's channel follows the Imdang fault line(N-S) to Satae-ri and flow to west to the Dutayeon area. The river meanders along geological structure or weak line at the Dutayeon area. The meandering channel was shorten by the meander cut which linked the thalweg line of meander loop ant the meander neck. As a result of this cut, the river cliff formed by the Satae cheon became the part of newly formed channel bed and the S-forms are formed. After the channel route stabilized, channel incised the rock with large potholes and undulating walls were formed. The channel width changes from 1m to 10m with restriction of the undulating walls, so this part can be regarded as inner channel or inner gorge. From the point of planar forms it also can be slot-type canyon.

최근 홍수파 또는 댐 및 보 등의 하천구조물과, 본류와 지류의 합류로 인해 발생하는 배수영향 등으로 하천에 고리형 수위-유량관계가 나타나 수위-유량관계식의 신뢰도가 저하된다고 판단되는 대하천 본류와 합류부 인근 지류에서 초음파유속계 측정결과를 지표로 활용하는 자동유량장치가 현재 58개소에 도입되어 운용되고 있다. 그러나, 최근 4대강 사업으로 다기능보 설치 등 하천의 수리적 특성이 변동하였고, 지류에서 주로 운용되는 수위-유량관계 기반 유량관측소에 본류-지류합류로 인한 배수영향으로 고리형 수위-유량관계가 형성될 경우, 지류 수위관측소를 자동유량관측소로 대체할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, 기존 자동유량관측소의 경우 홍수량이 기준이하로 나타날 경우 수위-유량 관계식으로 대체하는 경우도 있는데 적용기준이 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신규 자동유량장치 설치, 기존 수위관측소의 자동유량관측소대체, 자동유량관측소에서 수위-유량관계곡선의 활용 기준 마련 등을 명확하게 판단하기 위해 고리형 수위-유량관계 패턴을 분석하고 배수영향구간을 산정하여 제시하고 지류 수위관측소의 존속여부, 유량자료의 적절성을 판단할 수 있는 방법론을 제시 하고자한다. 이를 위해, 다기능보 설치 및 지류-본류로 인한 지류하천의 배수영향과 홍수파에 의한 고리형 수위-유량관계의 양상을 다양한 수문사상에 대해 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 대상유역을 선정하고, 대상유역에 대한 부정류 모형을 구축하기 위해 HEC-RAS 모형을 사용하고, 대상유역에 대한 HEC-RAS 지형자료와 유량입력자료를 구축한다. HEC-RAS 부정류 모형 구축 후 다양한 본류와 지류의 유량을 가정하여 고리형 수위-유량 발생 패턴을 분석한다. 지류-본류 합류 영향의 경우, 본류영향의 유무를 고려하여 상승된 수위의 비율로부터 일정 유의수준을 두어 배수영향구간을 산정한다. 다기능보의 영향은 다기능보 설치 전후를 가정하여 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 시범구역으로 하류에 창녕함안보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 남강과 하류에 달성보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 금호강을 대상하천으로 하여 위 분석방법을 적용하였다. 분석결과 남강의 경우 지류 유량이 작은 경우에도 본류 유량이 상대적으로 큰 경우 배수영향에 의한 고리형이 나타났고, 다기능보에 의한 배수영향은 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지류의 유량이 큰 경우 홍수파에 의한 고리형 관계도 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 금호강의 경우 또한 마찬가지로 본류의 유량에 의해 발생하는 고려형 관계가 지배적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 95%의 유의 수준을 기반으로 고리형 발생 여부를 확일할 수 있는 모노그래프를 남강, 금호강에 대해 작성하여 수위-유량관계 기반 유량 산정의 적절성을 판단하는 기준으로 제안하였다.
