A new advanced safety feature of DVI+ (Direct Vessel Injection Plus) for the APR+ (Advanced Power Reactor Plus), to mitigate the ECC (Emergency Core Cooling) bypass fraction and to prevent switching an ECC outlet to a break flow inlet during a DVI line break, is presented for an advanced DVI system. In the current DVI system, the ECC water injected into the downcomer is easily shifted to the broken cold leg by a high steam cross flow which comes from the intact cold legs during the late reflood phase of a LBLOCA (Large Break Loss Of Coolant Accident)For the new DVI+ system, an ECBD (Emergency Core Barrel Duct) is installed on the outside of a core barrel cylinder. The ECBD has a gap (From the core barrel wall to the ECBD inner wall to the radial direction) of 3/25~7/25 of the downcomer annulus gap. The DVI nozzle and the ECBD are only connected by the ECC water jet, which is called a hydrodynamic water bridge, during the ECC injection period. Otherwise these two components are disconnected from each other without any pipes inside the downcomer. The ECBD is an ECC downward isolation flow sub-channel which protects the ECC water from the high speed steam crossflow in the downcomer annulus during a LOCA event. The injected ECC water flows downward into the lower downcomer through the ECBD without a strong entrainment to a steam cross flow. The outer downcomer annulus of the ECBD is the major steam flow zone coming from the intact cold leg during a LBLOCA. During a DVI line break, the separated DVI nozzle and ECBD have the effect of preventing the level of the cooling water from being lowered in the downcomer due to an inlet-outlet reverse phenomenon at the lowest position of the outlet of the ECBD.

The spectral efficiency of cellular networks can be improved when proximate users engage in device-to-device (D2D) communications to communicate directly without going through a base station. However, D2D communications that are not properly designed may generate interference with existing cellular networks. In this paper, we study resource allocation and power control to minimize the probability of an outage and maximize the overall network throughput. We investigate three power control-based schemes: the Partial Co-channel based Overlap Resource Power Control (PC.OVER), Fractional Frequency Reuse based Overlap Resource Power Control (FFR.OVER) and Fractional Frequency Reuse based Adaptive Power Control (FFR.APC) and also compare their performance. In PC.OVER, a certain portion of the total bandwidth is dedicated to the D2D. The FFR.OVER and FFR.APC schemes combine the FFR techniques and the power control mechanism. In FFR, the entire frequency band is partitioned into two parts, including a central and edge sub-bands. Macrocell users (mUEs) transmit using uniform power in the inner and outer regions of the cell, and in all three schemes, the D2D receivers (D2DRs) transmit with low power when more than one D2DRs share a resource block (RB) with the macrocells. For PC.OVER and FFR.OVER, the power of the D2DRs is reduced to its minimum, and for the FFR.APC scheme, the transmission power of the D2DRs is iteratively adjusted to satisfy the signal to interference ratio (SIR) threshold. The three schemes exhibit a significant improvement in the overall system capacity as well as in the probability of a user outage when compared to a conventional scheme.

We fabricated a schottky barrier metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(SB-MOSFET) by applying indium-tin-oxide(ITO) to the source/drain on a highly resistive GaN layer grown on a silicon substrate. The MOSFET, with 10 ${\mu}M$ gate length and 100 ${\mu}M$ gate width, exhibits a threshold gate voltage of 2.7 V, and has a sub-threshold slope of 240 mV/dec taken from the $I_{DS}-V_{GS}$ characteristics at a low drain voltage of 0.05 V. The maximum drain current is 18 mA/mm and the maximum transconductance is 6 mS/mm at $V_{DS}$=3 V. We observed that the spectral photo-response characterization exhibits that the cutoff wavelength was 365 nm, and the UV/visible rejection ratio was about 130 at $V_{DS}$ = 5 V. The MOSFET-type UV detector using ITO, has a high UV photo-responsivity and so is highly applicable to the UV image sensors.

준정적 플랫 페이딩 환경에서 시공간 트렐리스 부호의 준최적 복호법인 principal ratio combining(PRC) 기법[1]의 일반화된 버전을 제안한다. [1]에서는 수신 안테나의 수가 증가함에 따라 성능 저하 폭이 증가하는 문제가 있다. 제안하는 방식은 수신 안테나들을 K개의 그룹으로 나누어 각 그룹에 PRC 기법을 적용하는 일반화된 PRC 기법이다. 일반화된 PRC에서는 수신 안테나의 수가 증가하여도 기존의 PRC 기법에 비해 성능 저하 폭이 상당히 감소한다. 그러나 복호기의 복잡도는 다소 증가한다. 따라서 시스템의 QoS(qualify of service), 성능 및 복잡도의 tradeoff에서 적당한 K를 선택해야만 한다 또한, 수신 안테나 수가 증가함에 따라, K개로 그룹핑하는 방법이 여러 가지 나을 수 있는데, 각 경우에 최종 성능 차이를 간단히 예측할 수 있는 성능지표(performance index, PI)를 제안한다.

본 연구는 조선산업의 구조조정과 지역사회 협력구조 특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 신현읍은 조선 대기업의 입지로 급격한 사회$\cdot$경제적 변화를 경험하였다. 우리 나라보다 먼저 구조조정을 경험한 일본의 경우, 분업화와 집적화를 통한 조선산업의 입지구조재편과 기업-지방정부-지역주민의 협력관계를 발전시켜 왔다. 우리나라 조선산업 구조조정은 대기업의 경영환경 개선이 핵심이었기 때문에 기업간$\cdot$지역간 집적화나 협력구조가 정착되지 못하였다. 기업과 지역사회의 유기적 협력구조가 대규모 구조조정 이전에 구축된 일본의 경우와는 달리, 우리나라 조선산업도시는 구조조정에 따른 지역사회의 위기의식에서 기업-지역사회 협력구조가 출발하였다. 조선 대기업이 입지한 신현읍 지역은 중핵기업을 중심으로 구축된 생산영역간 연결고리는 회고하지만, 지역사회 협력구조는 미약한 현실이다. 기업, 공공기관, 지역주민, 지역전문가 등이 참여하는 로컬 거버넌스로서의 지역사회 협력구조는 지역사회의 응집력 강화뿐만 아니라, 산업도시가 직면한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 합리적 통로가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Beams of steel frame-tube structures (SFTSs) typically have span-to-depth ratios of less than five. This makes a flexural beam unsuitable for such an application because the plastic hinges at the beam-ends cannot be adequately developed. This leads to lower ductility and energy dissipation capacities of SFTSs. To address this, SFTSs with bolted web-connected replaceable shear links (SFTS-BWSLs) are proposed. In this structural system, a web-connected replaceable shear link with a back-to-back double channel section is placed at the mid-length of the deep beam to act as a ductile fuse. This allows energy from earthquakes to be dissipated through link shear deformation. SFTS and SFTS-BWSL buildings were examined in this study. Several sub-structures were selected from each designed building and finite element models were established to study their respective hysteretic performance. The seismic behavior of each designed building was observed through static and dynamic analyses. The results indicate that the SFTS-BWSL and SFTS have similar initial lateral stiffness and shear leg properties. The SFTS-BWSL had lower strength, but higher ductility and energy dissipation capacities. Compared to the SFTS, the SFTS-BWSL had lower interstory drift, base shear force, and story shear force during earthquakes. This design approach could concentrate plasticity on the shear link while maintaining the residual interstory drift at less than 0.5%. The SFTS-BWSL is a reliable resistant system that can be repaired by replacing shear links damaged due to earthquakes.

Waterline extraction is the one of widely used methods for studying changes in tidal flat environment and coastlines using multi-temporal optical images such as Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+. High dynamics of tidal currents and land reclamation which accelerate sedimentation and/or erosion cause waterline change in tidal flats. The amount of sediment deposited or eroded can be evaluated by precisely estimating waterline changes in tidal flats. The objective of this study is to detect the change of waterlines during 17 years and analyze the trends of erosion and sedimentation in the study areas. The Ganghwado tidal flat on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula was selected. The study area is famous for high dynamics of tidal currents and vast tidal flats. Land reclamation which has been carried out on a large scale is also considered as one of elements that have accelerated the environmental changes in this tidal flat. In this study, we acquired 26 waterlines from Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ images. We extracted the waterline from each satellite image to generate a digital elevation map (DEM) which was used for reference and to compare with the other waterline which was extracted from DEM having a same tide. The result of comparison well depicted the areas of dominant sedimentation and erosion, and general trends of sedimentation and erosion according to sub-regions are also revealed during the investigation time. Results showed that erosion during a decade was dominant at the west of the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat, while sedimentation was dominant at the wide channel between the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat and the Yeongjongdo tidal flat. This area has been commonly affected by high currents and sedimentation energy. Although we were not able to verify the accuracy of the waterline changes, this result clearly showed the waterline change and therefore, the waterline extraction method used in this study has proven as an effective tool for long term tidal change estimation.

The present study was designed to examine the effect of total ginseng saponin on contractile responses of vasoconstrictors in the rat aorta. Phenylephrine (an adrenergic ${\alpha}$$_1$-receptor agonist) and high potassium (a membrane depolarizing agent) caused greatly contractile responses in the rat aorta, respectively. However, in the presence of total ginseng saponin (600 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$), the contractile responses of phenylephrine (10$\^$-5/ and 10$\^$-7/ M) and high potassium (3.5 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-2/ and 5.6 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-2/ M) were markedly potentiated whereas prostaglandin F$\sub$2${\alpha}$/ (5 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-6/ M)-induced contractile response was not affected. The contractile responses induced by phenylephrine (10$\^$-5/ M) and high potassium (3.5 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-2/ M) even in the presence of total ginseng saponin (600 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) were greatly inhibited by the pretreatment of nicardipine (10$\^$-6/ M), a calcium channel blocker. Taken together, these experimental results suggest that total ginseng saponin can enhance the contractile responses evoked by stimulation of adrenergic ${\alpha}$$_1$-receptor and the membrane depolarization in the rat aorta, which seems to be associated to calcium influx.

광 버스트 스위칭 망은 Ingress 에지 라우터에서 입력된 If 패킷을 모아서 데이터 버스트를 생성하고 과도한 프로세싱 오버헤드 없이 효율적인 버스트 교환을 수행하기 위하여 채널에 대한 예약을 목적으로 데이터 버스트보다 offset 시간 이전에 제어 패킷을 전송하여 파장 채널을 예약한다. 따라서 OBS 방식은 광 계층에서 버퍼에 의존하지 않고 단방향 예약 방식으로 빠르게 투명성을 지닌 광전송 경로를 설정할 수 있다. 그러나 링크 장애와 같은 망 장애가 발생할 경우 광 버스트 스위칭 망의 단 방향 예약 특성 때문에 데이터 버스트의 많은 손실이 발생하게 되어 트래픽 QoS에 심각한 영향을 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 광 버스트 스위칭 망에서 장애 발생시에도 손실되는 버스트를 최소화하여 QoS를 보장할 수 있도록 Ingress 에지 라우터에서는 부 반송파 다중화 방식 기반의 버스트 생성 및 전송모듈 구조를 설계하고 코어 망에서는 신속한 장애 복구가 가능한 혼합형 장애 복구 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위하여 망 장애 발생에 따른 버스트 손실률, 버스트 처리율 및 망 자원 사용량 관점에서 기존의 기법과 비교 평가하였다.

모바일 WiMAX 표준 IEEE 802.16e의 블록길이 2,304 비트, 부호율 1/2을 지원하는 LDPC(low-density parity-check) 복호기를 설계하였다. 설계된 LDPC 복호기는 최소-합(min-sum) 알고리듬과 layered 복호를 기반으로 $96{\times}96$ 크기의 부행렬을 병렬로 처리하는 부분병렬 구조를 갖는다. 최소-합 알고리듬의 특징을 이용하여 메모리 용량을 감소시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법을 고안하여 적용함으로써 검사노드 메모리 용량을 기존의 방법보다 46% 감소시켰다. Verilog HDL로 설계된 LDPC 복호기를 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 셀 라이브러리로 합성한 결과 174,181개의 게이트와 52,992 비프의 메모리로 구현되었으며, Eb/No=2.1dB의 AWGN 채널에 대해 평균 비트 오율 (BER)는 $4.34{\times}10^{-5}$이고, 100 MHz@1.8-V로 동작하여 약 417 Mbps의 성능을 갖는다.
