Traditionally, it is not easy to carry out tests to identify modal parameters from existing railway bridges because of the testing conditions and complicated nature of civil structures. A six year (2007-2012) research program was conducted to monitor a group of 25 railway bridges. One of the tasks was to devise guidelines for identifying their modal parameters. This paper presents the experience acquired from such identification. The modal analysis of four representative bridges of this group is reported, which include B5, B15, B20 and B58A, crossing the Caraj$\acute{a}$s railway in northern Brazil using three different excitations sources: drop weight, free vibration after train passage, and ambient conditions. To extract the dynamic parameters from the recorded data, Stochastic Subspace Identification and Frequency Domain Decomposition methods were used. Finite-element models were constructed to facilitate the dynamic measurements. The results show good agreement between the measured and computed natural frequencies and mode shapes. The findings provide some guidelines on methods of excitation, record length of time, methods of modal analysis including the use of projected channel and harmonic detection, helping researchers and maintenance teams obtain good dynamic characteristics from measurement data.

In this study, we fabricated a liquid light-guide-based radiation sensor with a LaBr₃:Ce scintillator for remote gamma-ray spectroscopy. We acquired the energy spectra of Cs-137 and Co-60 using the proposed sensor, estimated the energy resolutions of the full energy peaks, and compared the scintillation light output variations. The major peaks of the radionuclides were observed in each result, and the estimated energy resolutions were similar to that of a general NaI(Tl) scintillation detector without a liquid light guide. Moreover, we showed the relationships of energy resolution and analog-to-digital channel regarding the number of photoelectrons produced and confirmed the effects of light guide length on remote gamma-ray spectroscopy. The proposed sensor is expected to be utilized to perform remote gamma-ray spectroscopy for distances of 3 m or more and would find application in many fields of nuclear facilities and industry.

최근 VLSI 회로 설계는 자동 레이아웃(automatic layout) 툴을 사용하여 효과적으로 이루어지고 있다. 자동 레이아웃은 VLSI 칩 상에 모듈들의 위치를 결정하는 배치와 각 모듈간을 상호 연결하는 배선 두 가지의 중요한 기능으로 구성되어 있다. VLSI 칩의 성능과 면적은 이 두 가지의 기능을 수행하는 알고리즘의 성능에 따라 크게 좌우된다. 스위치박스 배선은 VLSI 설계 과정중의 하나로, 채널 배선과는 다르게 4면에 존재하는 같은 네트에 속하는 터미널들을 배선하는 문제이며, 모든 터미널들을 완전히 연결을 해야 하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 스위치박스 배선 문제에 대하여 유전자 알고리즘(genetic algorithm; GA)을 이용한 해 공간 탐색(solution space search) 방식을 제안하였으며, 제안한 방식을 여러 문제들에 대해 기존의 스위치박스 배선 알고리즘과 비교, 분석한 결과 거의 대부분의 문제들에서 배선 길이와 비아수 측면에서 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

A simple doping method to fabricate a very thin channel body of the nano-scaled n-type fin field-effect-transistor (FinFET) by arsenic solid-Phase-diffusion (SPD) process is presented. Using the As-doped spin-on-glass films and the rapid thermal annealing for shallow junction, the n-type source-drain extensions with a three-dimensional structure of the FinFET devices were doped. The junction properties of arsenic doped regions were investigated by using the $n^+$-p junction diodes which showed excellent electrical characteristics. The n-type FinFET devices with a gate length of 20-100 nm were fabricated by As-SPD and revealed superior device scalability.

A high-aspect-ratio and high-resolution stainless steel shadow mask for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) circuit has been fabricated by a new method which combines photochemical machining, micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), and electrochemical etching (ECE). First, connection lines and source-drain holes are roughly machined by photochemical etching, and then the part of source and drain holes is finished by the combination of micro-EDM and ECE processes. Using this method a $100\;\mu{m}$ thick stainless steel (AISI 304) shadow mask for inverter can be fabricated with the channel length of $30\;\mu{m}\;and\;10\;\mu{m}\;respectively.\;The\;width\;of\;connection line\;is\;150\;\mu{m}$. The aspect ratio of the wall is about 5 and 15, respectively. Metal lines and source-drain electrodes of OTFTs were successfully deposited through the fabricated shadow mask.

In the present experimental study, the effect of interfacial tensions on pressure drop of air-water two-phase flow in round mini-channels was investigated. A glass (highly wettable) tube and a Teflon (poorly wettable) tube, both in 350 mm length but 1.8 mm and 1.59 mm in inner diameters each, were used for the tests. All the experiments were performed only in the plug flow regime, confirmed by visualization. In the glass tube, the gas plugs were surrounded by the liquid film along the inner periphery. On the other hand, the inner wall remained dry at the gas portion in the Teflon tube. The pressure drop of the plug flow in the Teflon tube without the liquid film) appeared much larger than in the glass tube (with the liquid film) due to dissipation of energy by movement of the wetting lines. In this paper, various correlations on the two-phase pressure drop of plug flows were compared and a modified correlation was proposed, taking account of the surface wettability.

The aim of this study to provide basic reference data for the development of video contents used in pattern drafting education and to explore the possibility of utilizing YouTube videos in such education. Subject videos were selected using the number of views. A total of 596 videos and 28 channels were analyzed for the period July to September 2019 and the results are as follows. With regard to content, there were 27 pattern drafting items, the majority being dress, pants, skirt, blouse and sleeve drafting, although high-level content such as cowl, bustier, corset patterns were also available. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that YouTube videos could be used as educational material, especially as supplementary references to provide specific examples and easy explanations for difficult concepts or method, for students majoring in this field. However, as most videos currently focus on a few items, expanding video content to features a wider variety of clothing items at different levels is necessary. With regard to video length, it mostly ranged from 10 to 15 minutes. It is not advisable to create lengthy lecture-style videos expounding on different principles or variations in pattern drafting when developing educational video material.

A mathematical model is presented to predict the two-phase flow and heat transfer phenomena of the evaporating extended meniscus region in a micro-channel. The pressure difference at the liquid-vapor interface can be obtained by the augmented Laplace-Young equation. The correlative equations for film thickness, pressure, and velocity in the meniscus region are derived by applying the mass, momentum, and energy equations into the control volume. The results show that increasing the heat flux and the liquid inlet velocity cause the length and liquid film thickness of the extended meniscus region to decrease. The variation, however, of the heat flux and liquid inlet velocity has no effect on the profile of film thickness. The majority of heat is transferred through the thin film region that is a very small region in the extended meniscus region. It is also found that the vapor velocity increases gradually in the meniscus region. However, it increases sharply at the junction of the meniscus and thin film regions.

소형분석시스템에서 미세채널의 상판이 제거되면 상판에 의한 빛 에너지 손실이 대폭 감소되어 광학측정법으로 대상을 분석할 때 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 상판이 없는 사각단면 미세채널 내 액체유동을 이해하려는 목적으로 실험과 전산유체역학 해석을 수행하였다. 개방형 사각단면 미세채널에서 입자추적기법으로 유속을 측정하였고, 채널의 단면적 변화에 따른 모세관 유동현상을 이론적으로 해석하였다. 단면의 너비와 높이가 각각 20 ${\mu}m$로 제작된 미세채널의 주입부에 물을 떨어뜨렸을 때 물은 오직 모세관 힘에 의해 미세채널을 따라 이동하였다. 액체의 젖음현상에 영향을 미치는 중요한 유동 파라미터는 채널의 크기와 표면장력, 점성 등으로 볼 수 있으며, 미세채널에서 액체 유동을 조절하는데 이용될 수 있다.

잡음이 존재하는 환경에서 채널로 정보를 전송하기 위해서는 정보를 부호화하는 기술이 필요하다. 오류 검출과 정정에 사용되는 여러 가지 부호화 기술 중 Shannon의 한계에 가장 근접한 부호화 기술이 LDPC 부호이다. LDPC 부호와 sum-product 알고리듬의 조합에 의해 얻어지는 복호 특성은 터보 부호, RA(Repeat Accumulate) 부호의 성능에 필적하며, 부호장이 매우 긴 경우에는 이들 성능을 추월한다. 본 논문에서는 영상 정보의 LDPC 부호화와 복호화 기술 원리에 관해 설명하고, Sum-product 알고리듬을 사용하는 LDPC 복호기를 FPGA로 구현한다.
