The refractive index is a key material-design parameter, especially for high-refractive-index glasses, which are used for precision optics and devices. Increased demand for high-precision optical lenses produced by the glass-mold-press (GMP) process has spurred extensive studies of proper glass materials. B₂O₃, SiO₂, and multiple heavy-metal oxides such as Ta₂O₅, Nb₂O₅, La₂O₃, and Gd₂O₃ mostly compose the high-refractive-index glasses for GMP. However, due to many oxides including up to 10 components, it is hard to predict the refractivity solely from the composition of the glass. In this study, the refractive index of optical glasses based on the B₂O₃-La₂O₃-Ta₂O₅-SiO₂ system is predicted using machine learning (ML) and compared to experimental data. A dataset comprising up to 271 glasses with 10 components is collected and used for training. Various ML algorithms (linear-regression, Bayesian-ridge-regression, nearest-neighbor, and random-forest models) are employed to train the data. Along with composition, the polarizability and density of the glasses are also considered independent parameters to predict the refractive index. After obtaining the best-fitting model by R² value, the trained model is examined alongside the experimentally obtained refractive indices of B₂O₃-La₂O₃-Ta₂O₅-SiO₂ quaternary glasses.

SF₆ is used as an insulating gas because of its excellent electrical insulation properties, non-toxicity, and non-inflammability. On the other hand, the global warming potential of SF₆ is 23,900 times higher than that of CO₂. The Korea electric power cooperation (KEPCO) is responsible for 80% of the domestic SF₆ usage, and approximately 6,000 tons are currently charged in electrical and power facilities. KEPCO will gradually replace the insulating gas with SF₆-free gas from 2023. SF₆ decomposition facilities are required because more than 60 tons of SF₆ will need to be disposed of annually from existing equipment. This study developed a novel decomposition and pollution control system that can process 60 tons of SF₆ per year. This facility can decompose more than 97.7% of SF₆, with the emissions of hazardous and toxic materials below the legal limit.

Pure SnO₂ has proven very difficult to densify. This poor densification can be useful for the fabrication of SnO₂ with a porous microstructure, which is used in electronic devices such as gas sensors. Most electronic devices based on SnO₂ have a porous microstructure, with a porosity of > 40%. In pure SnO₂, a high sintering temperature of approximately 1300℃ is required to obtain > 40% porosity. In an attempt to reduce the required sintering temperature, the present study investigated the low-temperature sinterability of a current system. With the addition of TiO₂, the compositions of the samples were Sn_1-xTi_xO₂-CoO(0.3wt%)-CuO(2wt%) in the range of x ≤ 0.04. Compared to the samples without added TiO₂, densification was shown to be improved when the samples were sintered at 950℃. The dominant mass transport mechanism appears to be grain-boundary diffusion during heat treatment at 950℃.

By adding user interface to the usual router, an improved functional router is implemented in this paper. Due to the massive amount of spatial data processing, spatial information processing area has been rapidly grown up in recent years based on powerful computer hardware and software development. Spatial index structures are the core engine of geographic information system(GIS). Analyzing and processing of spatial information using GIS has a lot of applications and the number application will be increased in the future. However, study on the under ground is in its infancy due to invisible characteristic of this information. This paper proposes the sub-surface fault detection system using the sub-surface layer information gathered from elastic wave. Detection of sub-surface fault provides very important information to the safety of above and sub-surface man made structures. Development of sub-surface fault detection system will serve as a pre-processing system assisting the interpretation of the geologist.

A mathematical model was developed to simulate the performance of a prototype wind-powered reverse osmosis desalination system. The model consists of two sub-models operated in a series. The first sub-model is the wind-energy conversion sub-model, which has wind energy and feed water as its input and pressurized feed water as its output. The second sub-model is a reverse osmosis (RO) process sub-model, with pressurized feed water as its input and the flow and salinity of the product water or permeate as its output. Model coefficients were determined based on field experiments of a prototype wind powered RO desalination system of the University of Hawaii, from June to December 2001. The mathematical model developed by this study predicts the performance of wind-powered RO desalination systems under different design conditions. The system optimization is achieved using a linear programming approach. Based on the results of system optimization, a design guide is prepared, which can be used by both manufacturer and end-user of the wind-driven reverse osmosis system.

This paper studies reliability growth model in redundancy allocation of Parallel-series system in which several series system is linked parallelly, The model is generalized by system redundancy of sub-system that have components redundancy. The stage of components in each sub-system is established differently. At the same time by assigned the different number of constraints to the sub-system, this paper deals with rather practical reliability growth model.

In the $Al(OH)_3-SiO_2-AlF_3$ system, leaf-shaped fluorotopaz was first formed at $800^{\circ}C$ and mullite whisker was formed at $1,100^{\circ}C$. The mass transportation of Al and Si as gas phase, the fast reaction and growth, and the absence of liquid phase existence in mullite whisker showed that the formation and growth of mullite was from the solid-vapor reaction.

The effects of $Al_2O_3$ on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the $Na_2O$-CaO-$SiO_2$ system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of $Al_2O_3$ content on the mechanical properties, density, phase formation, and microstructures of $Na_2O$-CaO-$P_2O_5$-$SiO_2$ glass ceramics were studied. The thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes' method. It was found that the glass-ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent $Al_2O_3$ had desirable sintering behavior and reached an acceptable density. Phase investigation and micro-structural analysis were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.

In order to improve incombustibility of EPDM(Ethylene propylene diene monomer)-based rubber, inorganic materials as $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ were added. The mechanical and thermal properties have been measured for vulcanized rubber loaded with different concentrations of $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$. As inorganic material contents increases from 5phr to 30phr, the specific gravity and hardness increase while elongation at break decreases. This study performed incombustibility test and thermal analysis through TGA(Thermogravimetric Analyzer). As a results, incombustible and thermal properties of EPDM-based rubber were improved as $Al(OH)_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ contents increase.
