  • In this paper, a study was conducted to find a self-diagnosis method to prevent the spread of COVID-19 based on machine learning. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. According to WHO(World Health Organization)'s situation report published on May 18th, 2020, COVID-19 has already affected 4,600,000 cases and 310,000 deaths globally and still increasing. The most severe problem of COVID-19 virus is that it spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, which occurs in everyday life. And also, at this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. Because of the secure diffusion method and the absence of a vaccine, it is essential to self-diagnose or do a self-diagnosis questionnaire whenever possible. But self-diagnosing has too many questions, and ambiguous standards also take time. Therefore, in this study, using SVM(Support Vector Machine), Decision Tree and correlation analysis found two vital factors to predict the infection of the COVID-19 virus with an accuracy of 80%. Applying the result proposed in this paper, people can self-diagnose quickly to prevent COVID-19 and further prevent the spread of COVID-19.

  • The self diffusions and hole volumes of amorphous region of poly(acrylonitrile)-poly(vinyl chloride) fibers were investigated by experiments of stress relaxation. The experiments of stress relaxation were carried out using the tensile tester with the solvent chamber. The flow parameters of filament fibers were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of stress relaxation. From the flow parameters, the hole volumes, self diffusions, viscosities and thermodynamic parameters of solid polymers were calculated. It was observed that the flow parameters of these samples are directly related to the hole volumes, self diffusions and flow activation energies of flow segments.

  • A new I2L process for a high performance I2L structure is proposed. The modifiedstructure consists of a heavily doped extrinsic base and lowly doped intrinsic base where the collector regions are self-alignment with the intrinsic base regions. The proposed process untilizes spin-on sources as the diffusion sources and the self-alignment of collectors is achieved by using the hardened spin-on source as a diffusion mask. Test devices including a 13-stage ring oscillator have been fabricated by the proposed process on n/n+ silicon wafers with 6.5$\mu$m epitaxial layer. The maximum upward current gain of npn transistors is 8 for a three collector I2L cell. The speed-power product and minimum propagation delay for a one collector structure are 3.5 pJ and 50 ns, respectively.

  • The moisture transport in underground concrete was experimentally investigated and the nonlinear model of moisture transport considering the effects of water diffusion, hydration of cementicious materials and water permeability was proposed. The consumed moisture content by self-desiccation could be firstly calculated according to evolved hydration degree of cement and mineral admixtures. Furthermore, the finite differential method was adopted to solve the moisture transport model by linearizing the nonlinear moisture diffusion coefficient. The comparison between experimental and calculated results showed a good agreement, which indicated that the proposed moisture model could be used to predict moisture content evolution in underground concrete members with drying-wetting boundaries.

  • 액체 상태에서 물질이 확산되는 현상을 자유 부피의 개념으로 해석하고자 하는 노력은 1959년에 Cohen과 Turnbull에 의해서 시작되었다. 그들은 액체의 부피를 두 부분으로 나누었는데, 하나는 분자가 차지하고 있는 점유 부피(Occupied volume)이고, 다른 하나는 자유 부피(Free-volume)로서 무작정한 열적 유동에 의해서 재분배된다. 온도의 변화에 의해 부피가 변하는 것은 이 자유 부피의 변화때문이며, 점유 부피는 온도에는 무관함 것으로 갖주하였다. 분자가 액체 상태에서 이동하려면 이웃에 충분한 크기의 자유 부피 공간이 존재해야한다. 따라서, 분자의 확산은 분자가 이들 자유 부피 공간들로 도약하는 것이다. Cohen-Turnbull의 이론에서는 순수한 액체의 자기 확산 계수(Self-diffusion conefficient)는 자유 부피의 무작정한 유동에 의하여 임계 크기의 공간이 생성되는 확률과 관련이 있다. Cohen-Turnbull 자유 부피 이론은 그 후 많은 사람들에 의해서 수정되었고, 그중에서 현재 가장 널리 사용되는 것은 Fujita의 이론과 Vrentas-Duda의 이론이다. 두 이론 모두 확산 데이터를 correlation하는데는 문제가 없으나, Vrentas-Duda의 이론만이 확산계수를 예측할 수 있는 능력이 있다. 또한, 고분자와 용매의 도약 단위의 몰 질량이 같을때에 Vrentas-Duda의 이론은 Fujita의 이론과 같아지므로, Fujita의 이론은 Vrentas-Duda의 이론의 특수한 경우라고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 Vrentas-Duda 자유 부피 이론만을 다루기로 하겠다.

  • We have calculated the cosmic ray(CR) acceleration at young remnants from Type Ia supernovae expanding into a uniform interstellar medium(ISM). Adopting quasi-parallel magnetic fields, gasdynamic equations and the diffusion convection equation for the particle distribution function are solved in a comoving spherical grid which expands with the shock. Bohm-type diffusion due to self-excited $Alfv\acute{e}n$ waves, drift and dissipation of these waves in the precursor and thermal leakage injection were included. With magnetic fields amplified by the CR streaming instability, the particle energy can reach up to $10^{16}Z$ eV at young supernova remnants(SNRs) of several thousand years old. The fraction of the explosion energy transferred to the CR component asymptotes to 40-50 % by that time. For a typical SNR in a warm ISM, the accelerated CR energy spectrum should exhibit a concave curvature with the power-law slope flattening from 2 to 1.6 at $E{\gtrsim}0.1$ TeV.

  • Interdiffusion process at interfaces of chemically identical polymers (e.g., deuterated-nondeuterated pairs) with different molecular weights or polymers with similar physical properties, is studied here by varying the diffusion time. Considering the vacancy flux ($J_v$) and adopting the Cahn-Hilliard interracial energy in describing this system, we can see that the variation of the interfacial composition profile with time is asymetric and the interface moves towards the polymer with the lower molecular weight as interdiffusion progresses. Furthermore, interface shift $\Delta\chi$, which characterizes the interdiffusion between polymers, agrees well with the behaviors of the existing experimental data. We can also obtain the interface shift factor C, which can be converted into values of $D_s$ (self-diffusion coefficient of the smaller molecules), from the slopes of the linear fits to the data of the interface shift.

  • In this study, we investigated the various adsorption factors influencing the adsorption of heavy metal ions based on the study of the composition and physicochemical properties of scoria dispersed throughout Jeju Island. Analysis of the distribution characteristics of scoria samples collected from five areas of Jeju showed that reddish-brown-colored scoria were predominant. Analysis of scoria collected from Jeju Island showed that its mineral components are ordered as follows: SiO2 > Al2O3 > Fe2O3 > CaO and MgO. The experimental data did not show a linear relationship in the pseudo-first-order adsorption kinetics. In contrast, a pseudo-second-order model yielded a positive linear relationship, and this model was subsequently used. It could be concluded based on an intraparticle diffusion model indicating linear relationships that the capture of metal ions on scoria is dominated by the primary adsorption step.

  • In this paper, we describe the behavior of two self-excitations in laminar attached free-jet flames under the influence of DC electric fields, one of buoyancy-driven and the other of diffusion-thermal instability, established from the horizontal and vertical injection. In the horizontal injection with removed buoyancy effect, oscillating flames with the frequency of 1.3 - 7.4 Hz were observed in a certain condition with Lewis number more than unity. On the other hand, it was appeared Lewis number induced self-excitation as well as buoyancy-driven self-excitation in the vertical upward injection with DC electric fields. This behavior had frequency range of 1.6 - 9.4 Hz and was exhibited to attribute the buoyancy effect. Finally, a well-defined division about two self-excitations having similar frequency range is briefly discussed.

  • In recent years, image encryption algorithms have been developed rapidly in order to ensure the security of image transmission. With the assistance of our previous work, this paper proposes a novel chaotic image encryption algorithm based on self-adaptive model and feedback mechanism to enhance the security and improve the efficiency. Different from other existing methods where the permutation is performed by the self-adaptive model, the initial values of iteration are generated in a novel way to make the distribution of initial values more uniform. Unlike the other schemes which is on the strength of the feedback mechanism in the stage of diffusion, the piecewise linear chaotic map is first introduced to produce the intermediate values for the sake of resisting the differential attack. The security and efficiency analysis has been performed. We measure our scheme through comprehensive simulations, considering key sensitivity, key space, encryption speed, and resistance to common attacks, especially differential attack.
