Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems offer significant enhancements in terms of their data rate and channel capacity compared to traditional systems. However, correlation degrades the system performance and imposes practical limits on the number of antennas that can be incorporated into portable wireless devices. The use of switched parasitic antennas (SPAs) is a possible solution, especially where it is difficult to obtain sufficient signal decorrelation by conventional means. The covariance matrix represents the correlation present in the propagation channel, and has significant impact on the MIMO channel capacity. The results of this work demonstrate a significant improvement in the MIMO channel capacity by using SPA with the knowledge of the covariance matrix for all pattern configurations. By employing the "water-pouring algorithm" to modify the covariance matrix, the channel capacity is significantly improved compared to traditional systems, which spread transmit power uniformly across all the antennas. A condition number is also proposed as a selection metric to select the optimal pattern configuration for MIMO-SPAs.

The experimental study investigates two aspects of counterflow sensible heat regenerator operation. First, it examines the regenerator performance in periodic steady state operation with spatially nonuniform inlet temperature in one of the fluid stream. Second, the study examines the transient response of a regenerator to a step change in the inlet temperature of one of the fluid streams. The effect of transient inlet temperatures is analyzed in terms of the response of the outlet fluid temperatures to a step change in temperature of one of the inlet fluid streams. The effect of temperature nonuniformities is analyzed in terms of the change of temperature nonuniformities is analyzed in terms of the change in steady state effectiveness due to a circumferential temperature distribution in one of the inlet fluid streams. an experimental analysis has been conducted using a counterflow, parallel passage, and rotary regenerator made from polyethylene film. Efficiencies follow similar trends with increasing matrix to fluid capacity rate ratio for the balanced and symmetric regenerator with nonuniform inlet temperature.

본 연구에서는 유압식 급속재하 시험 장치를 제작하여 변형 속도에 따른 후크형 강섬유 및 폴리아미드 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 압축강도 및 인장강도 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 변형 속도가 증가함에 따라 압축강도, 최대 응력 점에서의 변형 및 탄성계수는 증가하였으며, 섬유 종류 및 혼입률은 변형 속도에 의한 압축강도의 영향은 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 평가된 압축강도의 DIF는 CEB-FIP model code 2010에 비해 상회하였으며, ACI-349의 예측값과 유사한 경향이 나타났다. 인장특성의 경우에도 변형 속도가 증가함에 따라 인장강도와 변형능력이 크게 향상되었다. 후크형 강섬유보강 시멘트 복합체는 변형 속도가 증가함에 따라 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착력이 증가하는 것에 의해 인장강도와 변형능력이 크게 향상되었으며, 섬유가 매트릭스로부터 인발되는 파괴 특성이 나타났다. 한편, 폴리아미드 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 경우 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착력이 크기 때문에 섬유가 매트릭스로부터 인발되지 않고 끊어지는 파괴 특성이 나타났으며, 폴리아미드 섬유보강시멘트 복합체의 인장특성에 대한 변형 속도 효과는 섬유의 인장강도에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 폴리아미드 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 인장강도에 대한 변형 속도의 효과는 후크형 강섬유의 부착력에 대한 민감도 보다 큰 것으로 사료된다.

A simplified rotary heat-exchanger model was developed with an assumption of a linear temperature distribution along the flow direction. Based on the model, the exact fluid solution and solid temperature variations were obtained and verified from a comparison with previous numerical studies. The heat transfer in the rotary heat exchanger was investigated using the theoretical solutions. The heat exchanger's effectiveness was shown to be saturated, with a rotational-speed increase that is higher than a critical value that is solely dependent on the thermal capacity of the solid matrix but independent of the fluid flow rate; the saturated value of the effectiveness was determined only by the NTU of the heat exchanger. Where the thermal diffusivity of the solid matrix is so slight that the thermal penetration depth becomes smaller than the matrix thickness, the effective thermal capacity of the solid matrix decreased according to the penetration depth.

이 논문에서는 다중사용자 (multi-user) 다중안테나 (multiple-in multiple-out : MIMO) 시스템을 위한 전송기법을 제안한다. Costa가 증명한 더티페이퍼코딩 (dirty-paper coding: DPC)이론에 따르면 송신기가 수신기의 가우시안 분포를 갖는 간섭 신호를 알고 있는 경우 간섭 신호에 상관 없이 채널 캐패시티를 얻을 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 단독사용자 채널의 경우 간단하며 효율적인 DPC기법들이 알려져 있으나 다중사용자 환경에는 실제 구현하는데 있어 복잡도와 관련해 많은 문제를 가지고 있다. 이 논문에서 우리는 다중사용자 환경에서 송신기에 알려진 갑선신호를 효율적으로 제어할 수 있는 네트워크 채널 행렬 삼각화 (network channel matrix triangulation: NMT)기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 NMT 알고리즘은 다중사용자 MIMO 채널을 서로 독립된 병렬의 Single-input Single-output (SISO) 채널들로 변환하여 단독사용자 환경을 위해 제안되어 있는 기존 DPC기법들을 다중사용자 환경에서도 사용 가능케 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 다중사용자 환경의 채널 캐패시티에 거의 접근함을 보일 것이다.

아크 용해법으로 제작한 $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ 합금(bulk 합금) 잉고트는 $ZrV_{0.2}Mn_{0.98}Ni_{1.04}$의 조성식을 가지는 fcc 구조의 C15형 Laves상이 주류를 이루는 matrix와 $ZrV_{0.01}Mn_{0.13}Ni_{1.2}$의 조성으로 $Z_9Ni_{11}$의 금속간 화합물 구조를 가지는 2nd phase가 균일하게 분포된 2개의 상으로 구성되어 있었다. $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ 합금의 방전 특성에 이 두 가지 상들이 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 matrix와 2'nd phase합금을 분리 제작하였고, 이들 전극에 대한 전기 화학적인 충방천 특성들을 조사하였다. 그 결과 방전용량은 2nd phase가 가장 낮은 $160mAh/g$, 그 다음으로 matrix가 200mAh/g으로 bulk의 250mAh/g보다 낮았다. Matrix조성의 합금은 bulk합금과 거의 유사한 활성화, 고율 방전율, 자기방전 특성을 가졌고, 또한 활성화 후에 충방전에 따른 용량감소의 경향이 현저히 관찰되었다. 그러나 2nd phase 조성의 합금은 이들과는 확연한 차이를 보였다. 즉 활성화되기 어렵지만 활성화된 후에 용량감소의 경향은 거의 없었고 또한 자기방전 특성도 우수하였다.

In this study, the tensile behavior of single and hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite according to strain rate was evaluated. Experimental results, in the strain rate 10-6/s, fiber reinforced cement composite showed improved of tensile strength and decrease of strain at peak stress as SSF volume content increased. In the strain rate 101/s, the single and hybrid reinforced cement composite' s tensile properties are improved, because of the improved bond strength between the fiber and matrix. And hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite showed high energy absorption capacity, because the SSF prevented the cracking and fracture of the surrounding matrix when during the HSF pull-out.

$ZrV_{0.7}Mn_{0.5}Ni_{1.2}$ alloy is attractive for anode material in Ni/MH secondary battery because of its large hydrogen storage capacity in gas-solid reaction and long cycling durability in KOH electrolyte. In this work, in order to further improve the discharge performance of this alloy electrode, the alloy was annealed by optimal condition which is for 12 hours at $1000^{\circ}C$. The alloy annealed under optimal condition had higher rate capability and discharge capacity than as-cast one. The microstructure of the as-cast and annealed alloy was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Ni content in the matrix was increased, being this homogenized after annealing. Additionally, The measurement of the surface area by B.E.T. analysis showed that there was little difference as-cast and annealed alloy. Therefore, improvement in the rate capability of the annealed alloy is due to increase of Ni content in the matrix.

The wear behavior of epoxy matrix composites filled with nano sized silica particles is discussed in this paper. Especially, the variation of the coefficient of friction and the wear resistance according to the change of apply load and sliding velocity were investigated for these materials. Wear tests of pin-on-disc mode were carried out and the wear test results exhibited as following ; The epoxy matrix composites showed lower coefficient of friction compared to the neat epoxy through the whole sliding distance. As increasing the sliding velocity the epoxy matrix composites indicated lower coefficient of friction, whereas the neat epoxy showed higher coefficient of friction as increasing the sliding velocity. The specific friction work of both materials were increased with apply load. In case of the epoxy matrix composites, the running in periods of friction were reduced as increase in apply load. The epoxy matrix composites were improved the wear resistance by adding the nano silica particles remarkably. It is expected that the load carrying capacity of the epoxy matrix composites will be improved by increase of Pv factor.
