  • Recently, ground subsidence frequently occurs in downtown area. The major causes of the subsidence on the subsurface were the damages of the water supply and sewer pipelines and excavation works in adjacent areas, etc. Because of these various factors, it is not easy to analyze the tendency of occurrence of ground subsidence. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of ground subsidence by the change of the fine particle content and ground water level and to establish the ground subsidence mechanism. In this study, a model soil-box was manufactured to simulate the failure of the old sewer pipe which is one of the causes on ground subsidence. And a model test was conducted to investigate the effects of fine contents and ground water level on the cavity occurrence. From the test results, firstly the higher the ground water level, the faster the primary cavity is formed as the seepage stress increases. As a result, the secondary cavity and the ground subsidence rapidly progress due to the relaxation of the surrounding ground. The total amount of discharged soil was decreased as the fine content increased.

  • This paper suggests a multi-level and multi-output SMPS based on a shared digital logic controller through independently operating in each dedicated time periods. Although the shared architecture can be devised with small area and high efficiency, it has critical drawbacks that real-time control of each DPWM generators are impossible and its output voltage can be unstable. To solve these problems, a real-time current compensation scheme is proposed as a solution. A current consumption of the core block and entire block with four driver buffers was simulated about 4.9mA and 30mA at 10MHz switching frequency and 100MHz core operating frequency. Output voltage ripple was 11 mV at 3.3V output voltage. Over/undershoot voltage was 10mV/19.6mV at 3.3V output voltage. The noise performance was simulated at 800mA and 100KHz load regulation. Core circuit can be implemented small size in $700{\mu}m{\times}800{\mu}m$ area. For the verification of proposed circuit, the simulations were carried out with Dong-bu Hitek BCD $0.35{\mu}m$ technology.

  • The 1/f noise spectrum of short-circuited output drain current due to the Shockley-Read-Hal] recombination centers with a single lifetime in homogeneous nondegenerate MOS-field effcte transtors with n-type channel is calculated under the assumptions that the quasi-Fermi level for the carriers in each energy band can not be defined if we include the fluctuation for time varying quantities. and so 1/f noise is a majority carrier effect. Under these assumptions the derived 1/f noise in this paper show some essential features of the 1/f noise in MOS-field effect transistors. That is, it has no lowfrequency plateau and is proportionnal to the channel cross area A and to the driain bias voltage Vd and inversely proportional to the channel length L3 in MOS field effect transistors. This model can explain the discrepancy between the transition frequency of the noise spectrum from 1/f- response to 1/f2 and the frequency corresponding to the relaxation time related to the surface centers in p-n junction diodes. In this paper the results show that the functional form of noise spectrum is greatly influenced by the functional forms of the electron capture probability cn (E) and the relaxation time r (E) for scattering and the case of lattice scattering show to be responsible for the 4 noise in MOS fold effect transistors. So we canconclude that the source of 1/f noise is due to lattice scattering.

  • The anisotropic phonon conductions with varying Joule heating rate of the silicon film in Silicon-on-Insulator devices are examined using the electron-phonon interaction model. It is found that the phonon heat transfer rate at each boundary of Si-layer has a strong dependence on the heating power rate. And the phonon flow decreases when the temperature gradient has a sharp change within extremely short length scales such as phonon mean free path. Thus the heat generated in the hot spot region is removed primarily by heat conduction through Si-layer at the higher Joule heating level and the phonon nonlocality is mainly attributed to lower group velocity phonons as remarkably dissimilar to the case of electrons in laser heated plasmas. To validate these observations the modified phonon nonlocal model considering complete phonon dispersion relations is introduced as a correct form of the conventional theory. We also reveal that the relation between the phonon heat deposition time from the hot spot region and the relaxation time in Si-layer can be used to estimate the intrinsic thermal resistance in the parallel heat flow direction as Joule heating level varies.

  • This study was performed for the purpose of analyzing the effect of tide on the stress-strain behavior in the boundary surface of sea dike embankment. Tide is a dynamic condition, but there are not suitable numerical models to solve the dynamic embankment condition caused by tide. So the analysis was simplified to quasi dynamic as follow. First, seepage by tide was analyzed according to elapsed time, and the results of the analysis at every hour during one periodic cycle time of 12 hours were applied to the pore water pressure conditions of stress-strain analysis with hyperbolic model by Duncan and Chang. The place at which maximum shear strain took place in the analysis result moved up and down repeatedly along the boundary of the dredged sand fill section and the crashed stone filter section. The value of maximum shear strain was large at high water level of tide. This result means that contraction and relaxation occur in turn repeatedly at every specific position along the boundary, and the repeated action compact loose position with sand moved down from the upper position by gravity. The experiment with the small sea dike model showed the result consistent with the numerical analysis. The surface of sea side on the dike collapsed at high water level after a couple of repetition of the rising and falling of water.

  • Despite the recent improvement in tunnel excavation technique, Tunnel collapse accidents still happen. This paper suggest two typical cases in unconsolidated ground condition. Collapse causes of each case were analyzed by the measurement records and numerical simulation, and then mechanism of tunnel collapse was investigated about each case. From this study, the crucial indicators of tunnel collapse were the variation of shear strain and ground water level, also, tunnel collapse deeply related to how shear deformation around tunnel was developed according to the excavation step.

  • Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes with mixed oxydiacetate (ODA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and with homoleptic ODA reveal characteristic line-splitting at 10 K, depending on the site-symmetry of the lanthanide ion in the complex. The energy-level schemes of the $^7F_J$ states and the emitting levels for Eu(III) and Tb(III) ions have been proposed by simulating the line splitting in the framework of crystal-field Hamiltonian. The sets of refined crystal-field parameters for the experimentally determined sitesymmetry satisfactorily reproduce the experimental energy-level schemes. In addition, the PL quantum yield and the decay time were determined at room temperature. The PL quantum yields of [$Eu(ODA){\cdot}(phen){\cdot}4H_2O]^+$ and [Tb$(ODA){\cdot}(phen){\cdot}4H_2O]^+$ in the crystalline state (Q = 17.7 and Q = 56.6%, respectively) are much greater than those of [Eu($ODA)_3]^{3-}and\;[Tb(ODA)_3]^{3-}$(Q = 1.1 and Q = 1.3, respectively), due to the energy transfer from phen to the lanthanide ion. In the aqueous state, the relaxation of the phen moiety due to the solvent results in the reduction of the quantum yield and the shortening of the lifetime.

  • Background: The purpose of this study is to find out the effect on the improvement in idiopathic scoliosis when applying the orthopedic manual physical therapy and myofascial release technique. Methods: 20 patients in Cheon-An ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ hospital were selected as subjects whose Cobb's angle were higher than $10^{\circ}$ according to the radiograph. They were treated for 60 minutes a day, three days a week, and 8 weeks so that the total time of visit would be 24. We performed five tests (Moire test, X-ray, standing height test, Cobb's angle, pelvic level test, VAS) to indentifiy the therapeutic effects. Results: Four test results were improved more remarkably after those treatment than before(p<.001), except pelvic level test (p>.001). Conclusion: we confirmed that there were correcting effects on most of the valuation index from the primary analysis, which divided the subjects into 2 groups by Cobb's angle, but there were more effective in patients having lower than $25^{\circ}$. There were similarly correcting effects on most of the valuation index according to the secondary analysis, but there were particularly more effective in children.
