Once high current flows through the vacuum interrupter, eddy current occurs due to the time-varying axial magnetic field caused by the current(AC) and it causes a decrease in axial magnetic field generated by current flowing through coil electrode. but if there are slots on contact electrode it is possible to increase the amplitude of axial magnetic field by reducing the influence of eddy current. there has been many studies about the number of slot of the contact electrode[1][2][3]. In this paper, in addition to these previous results we deal with the influence of the length and width of the slots on axial magnetic field at the mid-gap plane in 4 segment coil type vacuum interrupter by using 3D finite element method software.

We investigated Pb_10-xCu_x(PO₄)₆ (0.9 < x < 1.1) (LK-99) and Cu₂S, presumed to be contained as an impurity in LK-99, in a wide spectral range from far infrared to ultraviolet using optical spectroscopy. The optical conductivity spectra of both samples were obtained from measured reflectance spectra at various temperatures from 80 to 434 K. Both samples showed several infrared-active phonons in the far and mid-infrared regions. LK-99 showed typical insulating features with a band gap of ~1 eV. Cu₂S showed a nonmonotonic temperature-dependent trend and two energy gaps: one energy gap of ~93 meV and a band gap of 2.42 eV. Our results indicate that LK-99 cannot be a superconductor because it is an insulator with a large band gap.

Floor location of adjacent buildings may be different in terms of height elevation, and thus, the slab may hit on the columns of adjacent insufficiently separated buildings during severe ground motions. Such impacts, often referred to as mid-column pounding, can be catastrophic. Substantial pounding damage or even total collapse of structures was often observed in large amount of adjacent low rise buildings. The research on the mid-column pounding between low rise buildings is in urgency need. In present study, the responses of two adjacent low rise buildings with unequal heights and different dynamic properties have been analyzed. Parametric studies have also been conducted to assess the influence of story height difference, gap distance and input direction of ground motion on the effect of structural pounding response. Another emphasis of this study is to analyze the near-fault effect, which is important for the structures located in the near-fault area. The analysis results show that collisions exhibit significant influence on the local shear force response of the column suffering impact. Because of asymmetric configuration of systems, the structural seismic behavior is distinct by varying the incident directions of the ground motions. Results also show that near-fault earthquakes induced ground motions can cause more significant effect on the pounding responses.

It is important to identify the mid and long-term strategic technologies and evaluate technology level for the establishment of national R&D policy to upgrade technology level in Korea. This paper summarizes the result of technology level evaluation for 99 key technologies of 'National Technology Road Map', which consists of 5 visions, of Korea. The technology level, the technological gap between Korea and world-top country, the role of government to upgrade technology level, etc. were investigated by the survey (total 1,067 respondents) and the interview with experts related to key technologies. The average technology level of Korea was $65.1\%$ of that of world-top country and average technological gap was 5.8 years. The technology level of vision I 'Building an Information-Knowledge-Intelligence Society' was $71.6\%$ and highest among 5 visions. The highest technology level among 99 key technologies was $85.6\%$ for 'Digital Broadcasting Technology' and the lowest was $20\%$ for 'weather Control Technology'. The major reasons of technological gap were investigated as the lack of R&D personnel ($23.8\%$), the shortage of R&D funds ($17.8\%$), and the insufficiency of basic research ($15.4\%$), in sequence. The average technology level of USA was evaluated to highest in the world. It was presented that the technological power of China increased rapidly in the expert interview. The result of technology level evaluation would be primary information for various national S&T planning, such as S&T basic plan, S&T foresight, technology road map, etc.

The natural convective flow in a two-dimensional square enclosure with horizontal partitions is investigated numerically. The enclosure was composed of the lower hot and the upper cold horizontal walls and the adiabatic vertical walls, and two identical partitions were positioned perpendicularly at the mid-height of the right and left walls, respectively. The governing equations are solved by using the finite element method with Galerkin method. Calculations are made for different partition lengths, partition conductivites, and Rayleigh numbers based on the temperature difference between two horizontal walls and the enclosure height with water(Pr=4.95). An oscillatory motion of the natural convective flow is affected significantly by the variation of the gap width and Rayleigh number. When the gap width is comparatively short, the heat transfer rate is raised with the increase of the thermal conductivity of partitions. However, for sufficiently large gap widths at higher Rayleigh numbers, the average Nusselt numbers of the conductive partitions are smaller than those of the adiabatic partitions.

Enzymatic deinking of office-waste paper was studied using crude cellulase and papain-hydrolyzed cellulase from Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 in small-scale and mid-scale. The results were compared with deinkings using commercial enzyme(Novozym 342) and conventional chemical methods. Maximum brightness and freeness were obtained at 3 units/g Oven Dry Paper(ODP) of CMCase activity using crude cellulase in mid-scale deinking experiments. The deinked pulp had higher physical strength and brightness, and lower freeness and yield than the pulp deinked in small scale. In small scale deinking, maximum brightness and freeness were obtained at 2 unit/g ODP. Deinking by papain-hydrolyzed cellulase showed similar results with one by Novozym 342. It was better in brightness and freeness, but showed lower physical strength and yield, than the conventional deinking by sodium hydroxide. The ratio of endo-1,4-glucanase and exo-1,4-glucanase components in papain hydrolyzed cellulase from T. reesei Rut C-30 was similar to that of commercial enzyme, Novozym 342, implicating a successful application as a deinking enzyme.

Let G be a finite group and N be a normal subgroup of G. We denote by ncc(N) the number of conjugacy classes of N in G and N is called n-decomposable, if ncc(N) = n. Set $K_{G}\;=\;\{ncc(N)$\mid$N{\lhd}G\}$. Let X be a non-empty subset of positive integers. A group G is called X-decomposable, if KG = X. In this paper we characterise the {1, 3, 4}-decomposable finite non-perfect groups. We prove that such a group is isomorphic to Small Group (36, 9), the $9^{th}$ group of order 36 in the small group library of GAP, a metabelian group of order $2^n{2{\frac{n-1}{2}}\;-\;1)$, in which n is odd positive integer and $2{\frac{n-1}{2}}\;-\;1$ is a Mersenne prime or a metabelian group of order $2^n(2{\frac{n}{3}}\;-\;1)$, where 3$\mid$n and $2\frac{n}{3}\;-\;1$ is a Mersenne prime. Moreover, we calculate the set $K_{G}$, for some finite group G.

Several ways of curing are being tried to improve material's properties and reduce marginal gap. However, all are considering about the pattern of light intensity. It was noted from the preliminary study the change of light wavelength from filter changing may give an impact on material's property and microleakage. The object of this study was to verify the effect of filters with various wavelength width on the microhardness and microleakage of composite resin ; hybrid type of DenFil and submicron hybrid type of Esthet X. Composite resins were cured using 3 kinds of filter; narrow-banded(465-475 nm), mid-banded(430-470 nm), wide-banded(400-500 nm). After the estimation of microhardness. degree of dye penetration and the maximum gap from SEM evaluation were done between 4 groups that showed no difference in microhardness value of the lower surface . The results were as follows : 1 Adequate microhardness could not be gained with a narrow-banded filter irrespective of curing time. At the upper surface, DenFil should be polymerized with middle or wide-banded filter for 20 seconds at least, while Esthet X be col$.$ed with middle or wide-banded filter for 30 seconds at least to get simitar hardness value to control group. 2. There was little dye penetration in enamel margin, but all dentin margins skewed much more dye penetration irrespective of curing conditions. Although there was no statistical difference, groups cured with mid-banded filter for 40 seconds and with wide-width filter for 20 seconds showed relatively less dye penetration. 3. It was revealed from the SEM examination that group cured with wide-banded filter had the smallest gap without statistical significance. Spearman's rho test showed that the correlation between the results of dye penetration and SEM examination was very low. From these results, it could be concluded that curing with wide-width filter would be better than the other techniques, even though the curing technique using mid-width filter seems to have its own unique advantage.

Three-dimensional flow and aerodynamic loss in the tip-leakage flow region of a high-turning first-stage turbine rotor blade with a squealer tip have been measured with a straight miniature five-hole probe for the tip gap-to-chord ratio, h/e, of 2,0%. This squealer tip has a indent-to-chord ratio, $h_{st}/c$, of 5.5%. The results are compared with those for a plane tip ($h_{st}/c\;=\;0.0%$). The squealer tip tends to reduce the mass flow through the tip gap and to suppress the development of the tip-leakage vortex. Therefore, it delivers lower aerodynamic loss in the near-tip region than the plane tip does. At the mid-span, however, the aerodynamic loss has nearly the same value for the two different tips.

The flow field measurements were conducted on the planes between impeller blades, and the gap between the impeller and turbine blades under speed ratio of 0.4. The study showed that high velocity regions move from locations near the suction surface of the impeller to the pressure blade, shroud corner as flow progresses from the mid-chord of impeller passage to exit and out into the gap region. Planes 3 through 5 also showed flow reversal occurring in the area near the shell surface and progress far into the impeller passage from the impeller passage exit, near shell surface. This affected the converter efficiency negatively. This study would aid in the construction of higher accuracy CFD models of this complex turbomachinery device.
