AC loss is an important factor in the development of superconducting tapes and superconducting power applications. In this paper, magnetization loss in YBCO coated conductor have been measured and compared with Brandt equation. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of YBCO coated conductors. The results show that measured values of magnetization loss agreed well with the calculated value by using Brandt equation, especially at large degrees of incidence angle. The magnetization losses were strongly influenced by the direction of external magnet field as were expected.

Among all the nitrogen species present in the atmosphere, ammonia forms a considerable portion along with the nitrogen oxides. The major sources of atmospheric ammonia are animal feedlot operations including emission from excreta of domestic animals and agricultural activities, followed by emission from synthetic fertilizers, biomass burning and to some lesser extent, fossil fuel combustion. Ammonia emission factor, expressed as the weight of ammonia per unit weight, volume, or duration of the activity emitting it, is generally used in developing emission estimates for emission inventories. The factors determining ammonia loss from soil or from manures are the temperature, pH, humidity, precipitation and the velocity of wind above it.

The electrical properties such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and AC conductivity of grain were presented to measure the moisture content of grain using RF impedance. At frequency ranging from 1 to 10MHz and room temperature, $20^{\circ}C$, vector network analyzer(HP4195) and coaxial type sample holder were used to analyze the electrical properties of paddy(11∼24%w.b.), brown rice(11∼18%w.b.), barley(11∼21%w.b.) and wheat(11∼23%w.b.) depending on the moisture content, frequency and bulk density. The dielectric constant and AC conductivity of grain samples increased with moisture content and bulk density. The dielectric constants decreased with frequency and could be expressed as function of the moisture density(decimal moisture $content{\times}bulk$ density).

In this paper, we discuss a 3-dimensional localization sensor node using EM waves (Electromagnetic waves) with RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Generally EM waves cannot be used in underwater environment, because the signal is highly attenuated by the water medium according to the distance. Although the signal quickly reduces in underwater, the reducing tendency is very clear and uniform. Hence EM waves have possibility as underwater distance sensors. The authors have verified the possibility by theory and several experiments, and developed calibration methods in case of linear and planer environment. For 3-dimensional localization in underwater, it must be known antenna's radiation pattern property in electric plane(called E-plane). In this paper, we proceed experiments to verify attenuation tendency with z axis movement, PLF (Polarization Loss Factor) and ILF (Inclination Loss Factor) with its theoretical approach.

본 연구의 목적은 SEA모델링 기법을 이용하여 시스템 응답 특성을 예측 하는데 있어서 연견 손실 계수(coupling loss factor). 내부 손실 계수(internal loss factor)와 같은 주요 변수의 값을 압전 지능 구조물을 이용하여 도출 하는 .것이다. 관심 주파수 대역에서 임피던스(impedance) 해석기를 이용해 압전 지능 구조물의 임피던스를 측정하고 랜덤 가진 시 압전 지능 구조물의 부하전압을 측정, 시스템에 가해지는 전기적 파워를 구하였다. 이 값을 전기-기계적 연결 계수(electro-mechanical coupling coefficient)를 이용 기계적 파워로 상사 시키고 이때 시스템에 저장되는 에너지를 가속도계를 이용해 측정 하였다. 이 결과 값을 이용하여 연결 손실 계수와 내부 손실 계수를 구하여 보았다. 또한 이론식을 이용하여 얻은 이론 값과 기존의 가진기(shaker)를 이용하여 얻은 실험 값과 비교 분석 하였다.

This paper proposed that a AC-DC Converter topology of high power factor with soft switching mode operates with four chopper connecting a number of parallel circuit. To improve these, a large number of soft switching topologies included a resonant circuit have been proposed. And, some simulative results on computer is included to confirm the validity of the analytical results. The partial resonant circuit makes use of a inductor using step up and a condenser of loss-less snubber. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. And the snubber condenser used in partial resonant circuit makes charging engergy regenerated at input power source for resonant operation. The proposed conversion system is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used.

This paper presents the design of a calculable standard dipole antenna with a hybrid balun in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 3 GHz. A new formula of the antenna factor for a dipole antenna with a hybrid balun is derived using the power mismatch-loss concept. The antenna factors derived in this paper are in good agreement with the results calculated from S-parameters. The design results show that the calculable dipole antenna with a hybrid balun can be characterized by power mismatch-loss component factors.

The vibration analysis of damped sandwich beam is conducted using finite element method. The equation of motion presented by Mead and Markus is used to formulate FEM. Also as the thickness of the core in the damped sandwich beam goes to zero, conventional beam theory based on the transformed-section method and the equation of Mead and Markus are compared. According to the change of thickness and loss factor of the core, the forced frequency response of beam is calculated and discussed. And then using the half-power band width method, the damping ratio of each mode is calculated and discussed about each case.

Viscoelastic materials have the characteristics of elasticity and viscosity. Unlike the metals which show negligible damping characteristics, the damping characteristic of viscoelastic materials like rubber mounts is very important in the analysis of the dynamic system. So there has been a great interest in measuring the damping characteristics of the material can be measured. One is the resonant method which loss factor can be measured only in the resonant frequency. The other is the nonresonant method. In this paper, the test procedure and the physical meaning of the impedance method are introduced. The impedance test results, the loss factor by the impedance method, are compared to the results of the resonant method including some recommendations in the experimental setup.

With the recent development of high performance AC superconducting wire of very small ac loss and large current carrying capacity, the possibility of superconducting air core transformer is being studied. The air core transformer has merits of no iron loss, no insulation to the core and no harmonics. But the air core transformer has large exciting current and low magnetic coupling factor. To increase the coupling factor, the transformer of toroidal shape is proposed and designed. (10KVA, 110/220V) Compared with air core transformer of solenoidal shape, the performance is improved. The exciting current occupies about 22% of the rated current.
