The ionic liquids are known to potential alternative solvents capable of replacing the commercial solvents in various processes including those in nuclear fuel cycle. As to the material, a number of studies have already reviewed the interesting results and addressed the spectroscopic as well as electrochemical behaviors of metal elements included in spent nuclear fuels. It has found that the important properties of metal ions in TBP dissolved ILs have led the development of alternative technologies to traditional solvent extraction processes. On the other hand, the electrochemical deposition of metal ions in ILs have been investigated for the application of the solvents to aqueous as well as to non-aqueous processes. In this work, a review on the application of ILs in nuclear fuel cycle is briefly presented to understand the notable researches on ILs focusing on aqueous processes.

The mouse as an input device has undoubtedly brought convenience to users due to its intuitiveness and simplicity, but it also brought unprecedented issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). As a result, the necessity of alternative input devices that put less strain on the wrist, while still providing the convenience of a conventional mouse, has emerged. Unfortunately, there have been several research about alternative devices to replace a mouse, however, they showed inconsistent results. This study suggests that those inconsistent results may stem from the type and the difficulty of tasks used in previous studies. Therefore, we designed this study to compare the performance and perceived workload of three input devices (Mouse/Trackball/Touchpad) in each condition in terms of task type (Targeting/Tracking) and difficulty level (Easy/Hard). The results indicated that there were significant performance differences and no significant workload differences among the three devices, and the interactions were observed in some conditions. These results can provide users with practical guidelines to choose the optimal input device according to their needs or purpose.

This case study explored the potential for implementing content-based English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction in a Korean middle school facilitated by computer-mediated communication (CMC). The instructor scaffolded the student participant's language learning online, helping her to produce English output on her own. While experimental social studies lessons on the topic of stereotyping were taught, data were collected on the student's online exchanges with her counterpart in Iran about their respective cultures. Findings show that the student from Korea was able to better understand her own culture as a result of the online experience. This interaction and the in-class lessons have demonstrated that content-based EFL instruction is a viable alternative to the school's existing curriculum.

글로벌시장경쟁에서 국가와 기업은 미래 핵심유망기술에 진입을 시도하고 선점하여 기업의 이윤을 극대화하고자 기술예측 활동을 적극 전개하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존기술이 적용된 제품이 유망 신기술로 대체되어 시장을 지배하는데 소요되는 시장대체시간을 예측하고자 특허출원동향에 기반을 둔 성장모형을 제안한다. 유망대체기술 출현을 예측하기 위해 Bhargava가 일반화한 Fisher-Pry 모형은 최초 Fisher-Pry 모형에 비해 예측결과가 비교적 만족스러웠지만, 변수 문제로 대체율 거동을 제대로 예측하기가 쉽지 않았다. 이를 해결하기 위해 3개의 변수를 갖는 지수함수를 3개의 변수를 갖는 2차 방정식으로 수정하였고, 이 수정모형은 대체율 거동에 잘 부합되는 함수 거동을 보여주었다. 광저장장치기술에 대한 대체시간 예측 검증을 위하여 광저장장치의 특허동향분석을 통한 2차 방정식 형태의 Fisher-Pry 수정모형을 적용한 결과 만족스러운 검증결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 비록 1차 방정식 보다는 결정할 변수가 하나가 늘어 다소 복잡하여 졌으나, 대체율 거동 예측 정확도가 높아졌다. 이는 시장대체시간 예측 분석에 있어 종래 방법론에 비해 소요되는 인적, 시간적, 비용적인 측면에서 많은 효율성을 제고할 수 있게 되었다. 중소기업 및 개인 연구자들도 본 모형을 적용하여 유망대체기술에 대한 시장대체시간을 쉽게 예측할 수 있도록 간편성과 사용성을 높여 활용도가 높을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 빅딜 계약이 큰 비중을 차지하면서 전자저널 컨소시엄 유지를 위한 예산 확보가 학술도서관의 최대 이슈로 자리 잡은 상황에서 빅딜 계약의 대안을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 빅딜 계약의 현황, 장단점, 문제점에 대한 대응을 토대로 빅딜 계약을 대체하는 다양한 모델을 조사하였다. 문헌연구를 통해 빅딜 계약의 대안을 OA 기반, 이용량 기반, 컨소시엄 개선 기반, 출판사 주도, 기타 등으로 살펴본 후 KESLI를 위해 단기적으로 Cost division 형식이지만 중장기적으로 보다 강화된 컨소시엄을 기반으로 Single(bloc) payment 형식이나 National licene 형식을 지향하는 '컨소시엄 비용 재배분 모델'을 대안으로 제시하였다. '컨소시엄 비용 재배분 모델'은 최근 1년분의 각종 데이터를 기초로 PDF와 HTML 다운은 3배의 가중치를 부여하되 나머지 14개 요소는 각 요소별 0.5점부터 5점까지로 총 100점 만점으로 합산해 자관 총점의 순위에 따라 국가 단위로 협상된 KESLI 총액을 10, 20, 30 등급으로 확정해 최종 협상된 금액에 맞게 다시 배분하여 구독액을 결정하는 방식이다.

The critical element for sustainable growth in the construction industry is the development of alternative cements. A new technological process called geopolymerization provides an innovative solution, and the presence of aluminum and silicon oxides in fly ash has encouraged its use as a source material. Many previous investigations have involved curing the binder in a heated environment. To reduce energy consumption during the synthesis of geopolymers, the present study investigated the properties of ambient cured geopolymer mortar at early ages. An experimental program was executed to establish a relationship between the activator composition and the properties of geopolymer mortar in fresh and hardened states. Concentrations of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were ascertained that are advantageous for constructability and mechanical behavior. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were also used to characterize the material. Test results indicate that there is potential for the concrete industry to use fly ash based geopolymer as an alternative to portland cement.

Drastic development of ubiquitous devices requires more advanced batteries with high specific capacitance and high rate capability. Large-area microstructure characterization across the stacks of cathode, electrolyte and anode might reveal the origin of the instability or degradation of batteries upon cycling charge. In this study, sample preparation methods to observe the cross-section view of the electrodes for battery in SEM and several imaging tips are reviewed. For an accurate evaluation of the microstructure, ion milling which flats the surface uniformly is recommended. Pros and cons of cross-section polishing (CP) with Ar ion and focused ion beam (FIB) with Ga ion were compared. Additionally, a modified but new cross-section milling technique utilizing precision ion polishing system (PIPS) which can be an alternative method of CP is developed. This simple approach will make the researchers have more chances to prepare decent large-area cross-section electrode for batteries.

This study develops a novel recursive algorithm to significantly enhance the computation efficiency of a recently proposed stochastic subspace identification (SSI) methodology based on an alternative stabilization diagram. Exemplified by the measurements taken from the two investigated office buildings, it is first demonstrated that merely one sixth of computation time and one fifth of computer memory are required with the new recursive algorithm. Such a progress would enable the realization of on-line and almost real-time monitoring for these two steel framed structures. This recursive SSI algorithm is further applied to analyze 20 months of monitoring data and comprehensively assess the environmental effects. It is certified that the root-mean-square (RMS) response can be utilized as an excellent index to represent most of the environmental effects and its variation strongly correlates with that of the modal frequency. More detailed examination by comparing the monthly correlation coefficient discloses that larger variations in modal frequency induced by greater RMS responses would typically lead to a higher correlation.
