The low crosstalk row-decoder is studied for PoRAM applications. Because polymer-based memories can be more densely integrated than established silicon-based ones, PoRAM is highly sensitive for the crosstalk problem. To overcome the problem and to suggest the suitable decoder for PoRAM, this paper shows the comparison of the row-path characteristics for both the 2-stage dynamic logic decoder and the 2-stage static logic decoder. Moreover, to suppress the Glitch effect which is observed by using the static logic decoder, the Master-Slave(M/S) D-Flip/Flop(D-F/F) is applied as a deglitch. Finally, the improved output result of the 2-stage static logic decoder with the M/S D-F/F is shown..

In order to understand the underwater noise source factor of the linear pump type forced ejection system, a reduced-model compressed water experiment device was developed. The reduced-model compressed water experiment device consists of a reverberation tank, a linear pump type forced ejection device, and an underwater vehicle. The underwater noise source was selected from the hydraulic ram moving speed, the hydraulic ram/piston pipe spacing, the ejection pipe inlet/water ram area ratio, and the number of water ram inlets. The underwater vehicle was ejected into the reverberation tank by the device. The source level was derived from the measured sound pressure. The source level tends to increase as the hydraulic ram/piston tube spacing and the hydraulic ram moving speed increase. The source level tended to increase as the area ratio was increased, but the level was weak. The number of water ram inlet did not affect the source level.

In this study, $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ were used as an insulator layer to fabricate ReRAM devices. The resistance change is correlated to the appearance or disappearance of a conductivity filament at the surface of the GeSbTe layer. Changes in the electrical properties of ITO/GeSbTe/Ag devices were measured using a I-V-L measurement system. As a result, compared to the $ITO/Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}/Ag$ device, this $ITO/Ge_2Sb_2Te_5/Ag$ ReRAM device exhibits highly uniform bipolar resistive switching characteristics, such as the operating voltages, and the resistance values.

최근에 메모리의 초고속화, 고집적화 및 초절전화가 요구되면서 resistive random access memory (ReRAM), ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM), phase change RAM (PRAM)등과 같은 차세대 메모리 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 다양한 메모리 중에서 특히 resistive random access memory (ReRAM)는 빠른 동작 속도, 낮은 동작 전압, 대용량화와 비휘발성 등의 장점을 가진다. ReRAM 소자는 절연막의 저항 스위칭(resistance switching) 현상을 이용하여 동작하기 때문에 SiOx, AlOx, TaOx, ZrOx, NiOx, TiOx, 그리고 HfOx 등과 같은 금속 산화물에 대한 연구들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같이 다양한 산화물 중에서 AlOx는 ReRAM의 절연막으로 적용되었을 때, 우수한 저항변화특성과 안정성을 가진다. 하지만, AlOx 박막을 형성하기 위하여 기존에 많이 사용되어지던 PVD (physical vapour deposition) 또는 CVD (chemical vapour deposition) 방법에서는 두께가 균일하고 막질이 우수한 박막을 얻을 수 있지만 고가의 진공장비 사용 및 대면적 공정이 곤란하다는 문제점이 있다. 한편, 용액 공정 방법은 공정과정이 간단하여 경제적이고 대면적화가 가능하며 저온에서 공정이 이루어지는 장점으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 sputtering 방법과 용액 공정 방법으로 형성한 AlOx 기반의 ReRAM에서 메모리 특성을 비교 및 평가하였다. 먼저, p-type Si 기판 위에 습식산화를 통하여 SiO2 300 nm를 성장시킨 후, electron beam evaporation으로 하부 전극을 형성하기 위하여 Ti와 Pt를 각각 10 nm와 100 nm의 두께로 증착하였다. 이후, 제작된 AlOx 용액을 spin coating 방법으로 1000 rpm 10 초, 6000 rpm 30 초의 조건으로 증착하였다. Solvent 및 불순물 제거를 위하여 $180^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 10 분 동안 열처리를 진행하였고, 상부 전극을 형성하기 위해 shadow mask를 이용하여 각각 50 nm, 100 nm 두께의 Ti와 Al을 electron beam evaporation 방법으로 증착하였다. 측정 결과, 용액 공정 방법으로 형성한 AlOx 기반의 ReRAM에서는 기존의 sputtering 방법으로 제작된 ReRAM에 비해서 저항 분포가 균일하지는 않았지만, 103 cycle 이상의 우수한 endurance 특성을 나타냈다. 또한, 1 V 내외로 동작 전압이 낮았으며 104 초 동안의 retention 측정에서도 메모리 특성이 일정하게 유지되었다. 결론적으로, 간단한 용액 공정 방법은 ReRAM 소자 제작에 많이 이용될 것으로 기대된다.

Numerical design optimization techniques are implemented for the improvement of the ram accelerator performance. The design object is to find the minimum ram tube length required to accelerate projectile from initial velocity $V_0$ to target velocity $V_e$. The premixture is composed of $H_2,\;O_2,\;N_2$ and the mole numbers of these species are selected as design variables. The objective function and the constraints are linearized during the optimization process and gradient-based Simplex method and SLP(Sequential Linear Programming) have been employed. With the assumption of two dimensional inviscid flow for internal flow field, the analyses of the nonequilibrium chemical reactions for 8 steps 7 species lave been performed. To determined the tube length, ram tube internal flow field is assumed to be in a quasi-steady state and the flow velocity is divided into several subregions with equal interval. Hence the thrust coefficients and accelerations for corresponding subregions are obtained and integrated for the whole velocity region. With the proposed design optimization techniques, the total ram tube length had been reduced $19\%$ within 7 design iterations. This optimization procedure can be directly applied to the multi-stage, multi-premixture ram accelerator design optimization problems.

Motor pumps cannot be used in those areas where electricity is not accessible such as remote rural areas in many African countries. Hydraulic ram pump is one of the solutions for supplying water for irrigation or domestic uses. The hydraulic ram pumps are working based on the water hammer effect for pumping without external power or electricity. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of air chamber volume and operation parameters on the performance of the hydraulic ram pump which was assembled with common plumbing parts. The experimental results showed the volume of the air chamber did not affect the performance such as discharge rate and head. When drive heights were 1.7 and 2.35 m, the maximum discharge heads were up to 7 m and 10 m, respectively. When the air chamber volume was 1 L, discharge rates were 0.23 and 2.12 L/min under the drive heights of 1.7 and 2.35 m, respectively. The average energy efficiency of the hydraulic ram pump assembled in this study was about 60% for all the experimental conditions.

Ram pressure stripping due to the intracluster medium (ICM) is an important environmental process, which causes star formation quenching by effectively removing cold interstellar gas from galaxies in dense environments. The evidence of diffuse atomic gas stripping has been reported in several HI imaging studies. However, it is still under debate whether molecular gas (i.e., a more direct ingredient for star formation) can be also affected and/or stripped by ram pressure. The goal of this thesis is to understand the impact of ram pressure on the molecular gas content of cluster galaxies and hence star formation activity. To achieve this, we conducted a series of detailed studies on the molecular gas properties of three Virgo spiral galaxies with clear signs of active HI gas stripping (NGC 4330, NGC 4402, and NGC 4522) based on high-resolution CO data obtained from the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). As a result, we find the evidence that the molecular gas disk also gets affected by ram pressure in similar ways as HI even well inside of the stellar disk. In addition, we detected extraplanar 13CO clumps in one of the sample, which is the first case ever reported in ram pressure stripped galaxies. By analyzing multi-wavelength data (e.g., Hα, UV, HI, and CO), we discuss detailed processes of how ram pressure affects star formation activities and hence evolution of cluster galaxies. We also discuss the origin of extraplanar 13CO, and how ram pressure can potentially contribute to the chemical evolution of the ICM.

In this paper, the influence of ram-pressure on the static and dynamic characteristics of infinite width tilting-pad journal bearing is investigated theoretically. The ram-pressure is obtained by assumption of conservation of mechanical energy of the lubricant flow through the leading edge of the pad. The pressure in the lubricating film is numerically calculated using the ram-pressure obtained as the inlet pressure boundary condition of the pad. The static equilibrium state of tilting-pad journal bearing is determined by Newton-Raphson iteration method. A numerical results are presented in graphic form and relationships between the ram-pressure and the static and dynamic characteristics are discussed.

수자원 개발이 자연 하천 생태계에 미치는 다양한 악영향들은 하천에 서식하는 동 식물의 생태서식지의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 하천생태계를 보전하고 복원하기 위해서는 수리학과 생물학이 연계된 생태수리학적 모형을 지속적으로 연구 개발하여 수자원 개발에 따른 장래의 물리적인 거동을 비교적 정확하게 분석 및 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 21세기 프론티어 연구사업 'RAMS (River Analysis and Modeling System) 적용' 과제 중 개발된 RAM2, RAM4, RAM6 해석 모형으로부터 유속, 수위, 수온, SS, 하상고, 하상재료 데이터를 받아들여 GIS와 연계하는 2차원 하천 생태 모형 (RAM 8)을 개발하는 것이다. 그리고 개발에 따른 모형 검증을 위해서 우리나라 4대 강 중 유일하게 하구둑이 설치되어 있지 않아 자연적인 하천지형과 기수역 생태계가 잘 보존된 한강 하구부를 적용구간으로 선정하여, 서식지 적합성을 판단하고 그에 따른 적정 유량을 산정하여 1차원 서식처 모형인 PHABSIM을 이용한 결과와 비교한다.
