  • 산림은 탄소저장능력이 있어 대표적인 온실가스인 이산화탄소를 저감시킨다. 따라서 산림의 탄소저장능력 특성을 규명하고 그것을 산림경영에 반영함으로써 온실가스 저감이라는 국제적 노력에 동참하는 수단으로 활용할 수 있다. 일반적으로 임분에서의 탄소저장능력(Carbon Storage, CS)은 식생탄소저장능력(Vegetation Carbon Storage, VCS)과 토양탄소저장능력(Soil Carbon Storage, SCS)의 합으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 대표적인 자생수종인 소나무림 VCS의 공간분포를 지엽적 범위(spot level)에서 광역적 범위(regional level)로 확대하여 그 특성을 규명하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 지엽적 범위의 조사 및 연구에서 VCS는 임목의 흉고직경(Diameter at Breast Height)과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 관계와 Quickbird 고해상도 위성영상에서 추출한 소나무림 공간분포도를 이용해 경관범위(landscape level)에서 소나무림 탄소저장능력의 공간분포를 추정할 수 있었으며,그 결과를GIS 및 RS를 통해 광역적 범위로 확대하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of performing a cognitive task during treadmill walking on the stride rate variability. Ten university students(age $24.0{\pm}0.25$, height $172{\pm}3.1cm$, weight $66{\pm}5.3kg$) were participated in dual task experiments which consist of both walking alone and walking with a cognitive task. Two-back task was selected for the cognitive task since it did not have learning effect during the experimental procedure.3D motion analysis system was used to measure subject's position data by changing walking speed with 4.8, 5.6, 6.4, 6.8, and 7.2 km/hr. Stride rate was calculated by the time between heel contact and heel contact. Accuracy rate of a cognitive task during walking, coefficient of variance, allometric scaling methods and Fano factor were used to estimated the stride rate variability. As the walking speed increased, accuracy rate decreased and the logarithmic value of Fano factor increased which showed the statistical difference. Thus it can be concluded that the gait control mechanism is distracted by the secondary attention focus which is the cognitive task ie. two-back task. Further study is needed to clarify this by increasing the number of subject and experiment time.

  • An investigation on thermohydraulic stability of flow oscillations in the CANada Deuterium Uranium-600(CANDU-6) heat transport system has been conducted. Flow oscillations in reactor coolant loops, comprising two heat sources and two heat sinks in series, are possibly caused by the response of the pressure to extraction of fluid in two-phase region. This response consists of two contributions, one arising from mass and another from enthalpy change in the two-phase region. The system computer code used in the investigation os SOPHT, which is capable of simulating steady states as well as transients with varying boundary conditions. The model was derived by linearizing and solving one-dimensional, homogeneous single- and two-phase flow conservation equations. The mass, energy and momentum equations with boundary conditions are set up throughout the system in matrix form based on a node-link structure. Loop stability was studied under full power conditions with interconnecting the two compressible two phase regions in the figure-of-eight circuit. The dominant function of the interconnecting pipe is the transfer of mass between the two-phase regions. Parametric survey of loop stability characteristics, i. e., damping ratio and period, has been made as a function of geometrical parameters of the interconnection line such as diameter, length, height and orifice flow coefficient. The stability characteristics with interconnection line has been clarified to provide a simple criterion to be used as a guide in scaling of the pipe.

  • The Nano-Floating Gate Memory(NFGM) devices with ZnO:Cu thin film embedded in Al2O3 and AlOx-SAOL were fabricated and the electrical characteristics were evaluated. To further improve the scaling and to increase the program/erase speed, the high-k dielectric with a large barrier height such as Al2O3 can also act alternatively as a blocking layer for high-speed flash memory device application. The Al2O3 layer and AlOx-SAOL were deposited by MLD system and ZnO:Cu films were deposited by ALD system. The tunneling layer which is consisted of AlOx-SAOL were sequentially deposited at $100^{\circ}C$. The floating gate is consisted of ZnO films, which are doped with copper. The floating gate of ZnO:Cu films was used for charge trap. The same as tunneling layer, floating gate were sequentially deposited at $100^{\circ}C$. By using ALD process, we could control the proportion of Cu doping in charge trap layer and observe the memory characteristic of Cu doping ratio. Also, we could control and observe the memory property which is followed by tunneling layer thickness. The thickness of ZnO:Cu films was measured by Transmission Electron Microscopy. XPS analysis was performed to determine the composition of the ZnO:Cu film deposited by ALD process. A significant threshold voltage shift of fabricated floating gate memory devices was obtained due to the charging effects of ZnO:Cu films and the memory windows was about 13V. The feasibility of ZnO:Cu films deposited between Al2O3 and AlOx-SAOL for NFGM device application was also showed. We applied our ZnO:Cu memory to thin film transistor and evaluate the electrical property. The structure of our memory thin film transistor is consisted of all organic-inorganic hybrid structure. Then, we expect that our film could be applied to high-performance flexible device.----못찾겠음......

  • The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of static and total pressure distribution in the upward free water jet system impinged on a downward flat plate. The rectangular nozzle was used and its contraction and aspect ratio was five and about seven respectively. Experimental conditions considered were jet velocity, distance between nozzle and flat plate, height of supplementary water. It was founded that pressure distribution on the flat plate had the Gaussian curve when the pressure at stagnation point and impinging half width were chosen as the scaling parameters. The maximum pressure was shown at the stagnation point. The central impingement velocity decreased with the increment of distance between nozzle and flat plate, and its slop of decay was similar to that of chracteristics decay region in the three-dimensional free jet.

  • A comparative study on the trade-off between the drive current and the total gate capacitance in double-gate (DG) and triple-gate (TG) FinFETs is performed by using 3-D device simulation. As the first result, we found that the optimum ratio of the hardmask oxide thickness ($T_{mask}$) to the sidewall oxide thickness ($T_{ox}$) is $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$=10/2 nm for the minimum logic delay ($\tau$) while $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$=5/1~2 nm for the maximum intrinsic gate capacitance coupling ratio (ICR) with the fixed channel length ($L_G$) and the fin width ($W_{fin}$) under the short channel effect criterion. It means that the TG FinFET is not under the optimal condition in terms of the circuit performance. Second, under optimized $T_{mask}/T_{ox}$, the propagation delay ($\tau$) decreases with the increasing fin height $H_{fin}$. It means that the FinFET-based logic circuit operation goes into the drive current-dominant regime rather than the input gate load capacitance-dominant regime as $H_{fin}$ increases. In the end, the sensitivity of $\Delta\tau/{\Delta}H_{fin}$ or ${{\Delta}I_{ON}}'/{\Delta}H_{fin}$ decreases as $L_G/W_{fin}$ is scaled-down. However, $W_{fin}$ should be carefully designed especially in circuits that are strongly influenced by the self-capacitance or a physical layout because the scaling of $W_{fin}$ is followed by the increase of the self-capacitance portion in the total load capacitance.

  • The impact of the gate length (Lg) on the DC and high-frequency characteristics of indium-rich In0.8Ga0.2As channel high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on a 3-inch InP substrate was inverstigated. HEMTs with a source-to-drain spacing (LSD) of 0.8 ㎛ with different values of Lg ranging from 1 ㎛ to 19 nm were fabricated, and their DC and RF responses were measured and analyzed in detail. In addition, a T-shaped gate with a gate stem height as high as 200 nm was utilized to minimize the parasitic gate capacitance during device fabrication. The threshold voltage (VT) roll-off behavior against Lg was observed clearly, and the maximum transconductance (gm_max) improved as Lg scaled down to 19 nm. In particular, the device with an Lg of 19 nm with an LSD of 0.8 mm exhibited an excellent combination of DC and RF characteristics, such as a gm_max of 2.5 mS/㎛, On resistance (RON) of 261 Ω·㎛, current-gain cutoff frequency (fT) of 738 GHz, and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 492 GHz. The results indicate that the reduction of Lg to 19 nm improves the DC and RF characteristics of InGaAs HEMTs, and a possible increase in the parasitic capacitance component, associated with T-shap, remains negligible in the device architecture.

  • Section model test, as the most commonly used method to evaluate the aerostatic and aeroelastic performances of long-span bridges, may be carried out under different conditions of incoming wind speed, geometric scale and wind tunnel facilities, which may lead to potential Reynolds number (Re) effect, model scaling effect and wind tunnel scale effect, respectively. The Re effect and scale effect on aerostatic force coefficients and aeroelastic characteristics of streamlined bridge decks were investigated via 1:100 and 1:60 scale section model tests. The influence of auxiliary facilities was further investigated by comparative tests between a bare deck section and the deck section with auxiliary facilities. The force measurement results over a Re region from about 1×105 to 4×105 indicate that the drag coefficients of both deck sections show obvious Re effect, while the pitching moment coefficients have weak Re dependence. The lift coefficients of the smaller scale models have more significant Re effect. Comparative tests of different scale models under the same Re number indicate that the static force coefficients have obvious scale effect, which is even more prominent than the Re effect. Additionally, the scale effect induced by lower model length to wind tunnel height ratio may produce static force coefficients with smaller absolute values, which may be less conservative for structural design. The results with respect to flutter stability indicate that the aerodynamic-damping-related flutter derivatives 𝘈*2 and 𝐴*1𝐻*3 have opposite scale effect, which makes the overall scale effect on critical flutter wind speed greatly weakened. The most significant scale effect on critical flutter wind speed occurs at +3° wind angle of attack, which makes the small-scale section models give conservative predictions.

  • Transmission lines systems are important components of the electrical power infrastructure. However, these systems are vulnerable to damage from high wind events such as hurricanes. This study presents the results from a 1:50 scale aeroelastic model of a multi-span transmission lines system subjected to simulated hurricane winds. The transmission lines system considered in this study consists of three lattice towers, four spans of conductors and two end-frames. The aeroelastic tests were conducted at the NSF NHERI Wall of Wind Experimental Facility (WOW EF) at the Florida International University (FIU). A horizontal distortion scaling technique was used in order to fit the entire model on the WOW turntable. The system was tested at various wind speeds ranging from 35 m/s to 78 m/s (equivalent full-scale speeds) for varying wind directions. A system identification (SID) technique was used to evaluate experimental-based along-wind aerodynamic damping coefficients and compare with their theoretical counterparts. Comparisons were done for two aeroelastic models: (i) a self-supported lattice tower, and (ii) a multi-span transmission lines system. A buffeting analysis was conducted to estimate the response of the conductors and compare it to measured experimental values. The responses of the single lattice tower and the multi-span transmission lines system were compared. The coupling effects seem to drastically change the aerodynamic damping of the system, compared to the single lattice tower case. The estimation of the drag forces on the conductors are in good agreement with their experimental counterparts. The incorporation of the change in turbulence intensity along the height of the towers appears to better estimate the response of the transmission tower, in comparison with previous methods which assumed constant turbulence intensity. Dynamic amplification factors and gust effect factors were computed, and comparisons were made with code specific values. The resonance contribution is shown to reach a maximum of 18% and 30% of the peak response of the stand-alone tower and entire system, respectively.

  • Excepting tunnel of dorimstream - ccachimountain station section, the subway line No.2th section was build using ASSM and NATM methods because of soil pressure and land condition. The way of dealing underground water was selected without sufficient preconsideration of geographical features, ground condition, influence of lowing underground water, and long-term cost of running maintenance so that the form of undrained tunnel was build having decreased construction characteristics and technically improper elements. The form of partial drainage is very difficult to manage structures of tunnel, because water leakage, water pressure causing cracks of lining concretes and scaling are constantly happened. so partial drainage suggest that setting reinforced Anchor Bolt to prevent buoyancy and should increase center drainage way up to height of railroad. Partial drainage suggest that holey pipe(${\phi}$350mm) manhole, drainage checking pipe manhole are should be regularly dredged, when changing roadbed(gravel${\rightarrow}$concrete) drainage checking pipe manhole should be build and setting a limitation of entering underground water's quantities. Beside drainage degree in changed section of structures causing instability of structures is continuous degree. so if efficient drainage way and the patterns of flaws, problems are considered in survey, it will be expected to have a advantage condition in maintenance part.
