In the DS/CDMA mobile communication systems, the parallel interference canceller is used in order to reduce the multiple access interference and the multipath fading. It is needed the accurate interference estimate in the multistage parallel cancellation. In this paper, the adaptive cancellation method and the new tentative decision device arc proposed and the performance is analyzed. The adaptive cancellation method uses the normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm to calculate the weight adaptively, and new tentative decision device uses the hyperbolic tangent decision with null zone. Computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme has the improved performance and the number of user is increased 48% compared with the conventional receiver.

The present study is concerned with the flow patterns induced by various impellers in a rectangular tank. Impellers are FBT (Flat blade turbine), PBT (Pitched blade turbine), Shroud turbine, Rushton turbine, and Helical ribbon turbine types. The solutions of flows in moving reference frames require the use of 'moving' cell zone. The moving zone approaches are based on MRF (Multiple reference frame), which is a steady-state approximation and sliding method, which is an unsteady-state approximation. Numerical results using two moving zone approaches we compared with experiments by Ranade & Joshi, which have done extensive LDA measurements of the flow generated by a standard six-bladed Rushton turbine in a cylindrical baffled vessel. In this paper, we simulated the flow patterns with above-mentioned moving zone approaches and impellers. Turbulence model used is RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model. Sliding-mesh method is more effective than MRF for simulating the rectangular tank with inlet and outlet. RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model strongly underestimates the velocity of experimental data and velocity by Chen & Kim's model, but it seems to be correctly predicted in overall distribution.

Design equations to evaluate the bursting force in a post-tensioned anchorage zone have been introduced in many design codes, and one equation in AASHTO LRFD is widely used. However, this equation may not determine the bursting force exactly because it was designed on the basis of two-dimensional numerical analyses without considering various design parameters such as the duct hole and shape of the bearing plate. To improve the design equation, modification of the AASHTO LRFD design equation was considered. The behavior of the anchorage zone was investigated using three-dimensional linear elastic finite element analysis with design parameters such as bearing plate size and diameter of sheath hole. Upon the suggestion of a modified design equation for evaluating the bursting force in an anchorage block with a rectangular anchorage plate (Kim and Kwak 2018), additional influences of design parameters that could affect the evaluation of bursting force were investigated. An improved equation was introduced for determining the bursting force in an anchorage block with a circular anchorage plate, using the same procedure introduced in the design equation for an anchorage block with a rectangular anchorage plate. The validity of the introduced design equation was confirmed by comparison with AASHTO LRFD.

대설은 일반적으로 해양과 대륙의 온도차가 큰 지역, 바다·호수와 같이 상대적으로 따뜻한 곳이 인접해 있어 기단 변질이 잘 일어나는 지역, 산악에 의해 습윤한 공기가 강제 상승되는 지역에서 자주 발생한다. 우리나라는 찬 대륙고기압 공기가 해수 온도 차로 눈 구름대가 만들어지거나, 고기압 가장자리에서 한기를 동반한 상층 기압골이 우리나라 상공을 통과하면서 대설이 발생한다. 최근 우리나라에서 빈번하게 발생하는 대설피해는 직접피해와 간접피해로 나뉘며, 이에 따라 사회·경제적으로 막대한 피해를 야기한다. 우리나라 대설피해양상은 지역적 특성, 방재 대책, 대처능력 등에 따라 달라지는 것이 특징이며, 지역적으로 다르게 발생하는 대설피해를 효과적으로 대비할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지역적 특성을 고려한 차등화된 대설 피해를 예측하는 연구를 진행하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상요소 및 사회·경제적 요소 등을 입력자료로 활용하고, DPSIR 분석을 통해 Red Zone, Orange Zone, Yellow Zone, Green Zone으로 위험 등급을 분류 및 등급 별 대설피해 예측기법을 개발하였다. 최종적으로 1994년부터 2020년까지의 과거 대설 피해액 자료와 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 기법을 개발하였고, 기법의 예측력 평가를 위해 RMSE와 RMSE를 표준화한 NRMSE의 두 가지 통계 지표를 사용하여 평가하였다. 모형별 예측력 평가 결과 Yellow 등급 모형이 가장 우수한 예측력을 보였다. 추후 본 연구결과를 통해 대설피해 범위를 예측하는 연구가 진행된다면 사전에 대설피해에 대한 대응방안 수립과 지역별제설 우선순위를 결정할 수 있는 지표가 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

Silicon Carbide(SiC) has large advantage in high temperature and high voltage applications because of its high thermal conductivity and large band gap energy. When using SiC to design power semiconductor devices, edge termination techniques have to be adjusted for its maximum breakdown voltage characteristics. Many edge termination techniques have been proposed, and the most appropriate technique for SiC device is Junction Termination Extension(JTE). In this paper, the change of breakdown voltage efficiency ratio according to the change of doping concentration and passivation oxide charge of each JTE techniques is demonstrated. As a result, the maximum breakdown voltage ratio of Single Zone JTE(SZ-JTE), Double Zone JTE(DZ-JTE), Multiple Floating Zone JTE(MFZ-JTE), and Space Modulated JTE(SM-JTE) is 98.24%, 99.02%, 98.98%, 99.22% each. MFZ-JTE has the smallest and SZ-JTE has the largest sensitivity of breakdown voltage ratios according to the change of JTE doping concentration. Additionally the degradation of breakdown voltage due to the passivation oxide charge is analyzed, and the sensitivity is largest in SZ-JTE and smallest in MFZ-JTE, too. In this paper, DZ-JTE and SM-JTE is the best efficiency JTE techniques than MFZ-JTE which needs large doping concentration in short JTE width.

Gaudi, Naber & Sackett pointed out that if an event is caused by a lens system containing more than two planets, all planets will affect the central region of the magnification pattern, and thus the existence of the multiple planets can be inferred by detecting additionally deformed anomalies from intensive monitoring of high magnification microlensing events. Unfortunately, this method has important limitations in identifying the existence of multiple planets and determining their parameters (the mass ratio and the instantaneous projected separation) due to the degeneracy of the resulting light curve anomalies from those induced by a single planet and the complexity of multiple planet lensing models. In this paper, we propose a new channel to search for multiple planets via microlensing. The method is based on the fact that the lensing light curve anomalies induced by multiple planets are well approximated by the superposition of those of the single planet systems where the individual planet-primary pairs act as independent lens systems. Then, if the source trajectory passes both of the outer deviation regions induced by the individual planets, one can unambiguously identify the existence of the multiple planets. We illustrate that the probability of successively detecting light curve anomalies induced by two Jovian-mass planets located in the lensing zone through this channel will be substantial. Since the individual anomalies can be well described by much simpler single planet lensing models, the proposed method has an important advantage of allowing one to accurately determine the parameters of the individual planets.

Secondary users should sense the licensed spectrum bands in order to protect the primary users from interference. However, periodic and frequent sensing for immediate detection of primary users usually gives rise to much sensing overhead, and thus will quickly drain the battery as well as deteriorate the performance of a secondary user. To overcome such problems, we focus on the method reducing sensing overhead of each secondary user and propose a distributed fair sensing scheme that the multiple users within a certain area, so-called sensing zone, sense the spectrum bands in a fairly distributed manner and share the results among the users within respective sensing zone. The design of the frame structure for the proposal is also demonstrated while considering the sensing requirements for protecting primary users. The performance results by numerical analyses and computer simulations show that our proposed sensing scheme significantly reduces the sensing overhead of each user compared to the conventional sensing scheme and also satisfies the given sensing requirements for primary user protection.

Although various methods have been proposed to assess groundwater vulnerability, most of the models merely consider the mobility of contaminants (i.e., intrinsic vulnerability), and the attenuation capacity of vadose zone is often neglected. This study proposed an evaluation model for the attenuation capacity of vadose zone to supplement the limitations of the existing index method models for assessing groundwater vulnerability. The evaluation equation for quantifying the attenuation capacity was developed from the combined linear regression and weighted scaling methods based on the lab-scale experiments using various vadose zone soils having different physical and biogeochemical properties. The proposed semi-quantifying model is expected to effectively assess the attenuation capacity of vadose zone by identifying the main influencing factors as input parameters together with proper weights derived from the coefficients of the regression results. The subsequent scoring and grading system has great versatility while securing the objectivity by effectively incorporating the experimental results.

This study aims to analyze the relations among greenbelt, urban land surface temperature empirically in order to assess the environmental effects of the greenbelt in the Seoul metropolitan area, objectively. For this purpose, this study conducts an empirical analysis of impacts of greenbelt on urban land surface temperature using a multiple-regression model. The main data employed in the analysis include real-time air pollution data, Landsat 8-OLI Landsat imagery data, KLIS data and Jip-gye-gu data. The major findings are summarized as follows. NDVI has a negative (-) correlation with the land surface temperature, and the urban temperature is high in areas with poor vegetation. The land surface temperature is low in residential or commercial areas, while the temperature is high in industrial areas. The temperature is low in green fields, open spaces, and river areas. it is found that the urban land surface temperature is low in the greenbelt zone. In the greenbelt zone, there is an effect that reduces the land surface temperature by 1% on average, as compared to that at the center of the Seoul metropolitan area. Especially, the center of the Seoul metropolitan area, in a range from 0.6% to 1.9% of the average temperature, the temperature gets lower up to approximately 3km from the greenbelt boundary.
