The formation properties and oxidation mechanism of electrochemically oxidized porous silicon(OPS) films have been studied. To examine the humidity-sensitive properties of OPS films, surface-type and bulk-type humidity sensors were fabricated. The oxidized thickness of porous silicon layer(PSL) increases with the charge supplied during electrochemical humidity sensor shows high sensitivity at high relative humidity in low temperature. The sensitivity and linearity can be improved by optimizing a porosity of PSL. (author). refs., figs.

This paper studied the measurement about the gunpowder residue quantity by using a handgun and we carried out an experiment ignition characteristics of the gunpowder residue for the investigation fire cause into the indoor shooting range in Busan. The measurement of the gunpowder residue quantity is spouted by using a 0.38 inch gun and 9 mm gun. We were carried out evaluation experiments such as impact sensitivity test, static electricity sensitivity test, friction sensitivity test and measuring a flash point for the ignition characteristics about the gunpowder residue. From experiment results, the impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity of the gunpowder residue in comparison with ball powder are highly sensitive and the gunpowder residue ignites at a relatively low temperature.

A sensitivity analysis of FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) results for the input uncertainty of heat release rate (Q) which might be the most influencing parameter to fire behaviors was performed. The calculated results were compared with experimental data obtained by the OECD/NEA PRISME project. The sensitivity of FDS results with the change in Q was also compared with the empirical correlations suggested in previous literature. As a result, the change in the specified Q led to the different dependence of major quantities such as temperature and species concentrations for the over- and under-ventilated fire conditions, respectively. It was also found that the sensitivity of major quantities to uncertain value of Q showed the significant difference in results obtained using the previous empirical correlations.

High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a sensitivity analysis for structural and thermal characteristics was carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW table feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The results of the structural sensitivity analysis illustrated that the vertical stiffness of hydrostatic guideway for the RW table feed system greatly influenced the horizontal loop stiffness, and the results of the thermal sensitivity analysis illustrated that the heat generation rates at hydrostatic bearings and belt pulley greatly influenced the temperature rise of hydrostatic bearings and the deviation of thermal displacement between GW and RW.

Two kinds of high resolution GCMs with the same spatial resolutions but with different schemes run by domestic and foreign agencies are used to clarify the usefulness and sensitivity of GCM for water resources applications for Korea. One is AMIP-II (Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project-II) type GCM simulation results done by ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and the other one is AMIP-I type GCM simulation results done by METRI (Korean Meteorological Research Institute). Observed mean areal precipitation, temperature, and discharge values on 7 major river basins were used for target variables. Monte Carlo simulation was used to establish the significance of the estimator values. Sensitivity analyses were done in accordance with the proposed ways. Through the various tests, discrimination condition is sensitive for the distribution of the data. Window size is sensitive for the data variation and the area of the basins. Discrimination abilities of each nodal value affects on the correct association. In addition to theses sensitivity analyses results, we also noticed some characteristics of each GCM. For Korean water resources, monthly and small window setting analyses are recommended using GCMs.

The purpose of this paper is to study the following ; (1) how the stability and sensitivity of a given stream water quality model can be analyzed theoretically by means of the stability theory and the sensitivity theory, and (2) point out that the results of this study prove that numerical analysis for the given stream water quality model is reliable, and the model is sensitive for the variations of parameters. A stability theory which is described by the infinite Fourier series is used to analyze the numerical scheme of the model. The numerical shheme is used a backward implicit scheme. a sensitivity theory which is described by the first order linear vector equation is used to analyze theoretically the effect of variations of water quality parameters such as BOD loads, flow rate, temperature. The results of sensitivity theory are of general applicability and are presented in a analytical form. The results of this study seems to be satisfactory for the reliability of stream water quality model with respect to the numerical scheme and the variations of the water quality parameters.

In this study, we present an algorithm that analyzes the risk by reflecting regional characteristics for factors affected by direct and indirect damage from heavy-snow. Factors affected by heavy-snow damage by 29 regions are selected as influencing variables, and the concept of sensitivity is derived through the relationship with the amount of damage. A snow damage risk prediction model was developed using a machine learning (XGBoost) algorithm by setting weather conditions (snow cover, humidity, temperature) and sensitivity as independent variables, and setting the risk derived according to changes in the independent variables as dependent variables.

Germination respone to sulfuric acid treatment, temperature, light and underwater condition were experimented for Albizzia julibrissin Durazz. seed. It took 60 minutes to break the dormancy of impermeable seed for the effective sulfuric acid treatment, and temperature sensitivity was decreased by 90 minutes' treatment. The germination rate of the seed was highest, i.e. 96% at 60 minutes acid treatment in a 21。C growth chamber. On the occasion of light sensitivity, the seed was light indifferent. The imbibition rate of seed was higher at 27。C than 21。C and in proportion to the period of acid treatment time. A. julibrissin Durazz. seed were well germinated at underwagter condition.

In order to improve CO gas sensitivity, $TiO_2$added $SnO_2$ composite ceramics were prepared. Using XRD and SEM, the phases and micro structures of these ceramics were investigated. The resistances as a function of gas atmosphere were measured by High Voltage Measure/Source Unit. The maximum 100 ppm CO gas sensitivities of $SnO_2-TiO_2$composites were 2.5 times larger than that of pure $SnO_2$ composite and showed the obvious temperature dependence of sensitivities in 500, 100 ppm CO gas atmospheres.
