This study treats the advantage of in situ line source method measuring the heat transfer capacity of a borehole, using mobile equipment, to determine the thermal properties of the entire borehole system such as thermal conductivity, diffusiveity. volumetric heat capacity, and borehole thermal resistance. The results from the response test include not only the thermal properties of the ground and the borehole, but also conditions that are difficult to estimate, e,g. natural convection in the boreholes, asymmetry in the construction, etc. In this study, 1) theoretical in situ methods for assessing working fluid temperature variation in V-type PE tube have been introduced, and 2) TRTE(Thermal Response Test Equipment) has been built based on these kinds of theoretical in situ methods. Basically TRTE consists of a pump, a heater and temperature sensors for measuring the inlet and outlet temperatures of the borehole. In order to make equipment easily transportable it is set up on a small trailer. Since the response test takes above two days to execute, the test was fully automatic in recording measured data using Labview DAS(Data acquisition system) program. The test was demonstrated in the course of intensive research in this field through the one site at Ulsan city in Korea. From this kind of thermal properties test of borehole systems in situ, the design of the borehole system can be optimized regarding the total geological, hydro-geological and technical conditions at the location.

Baffles have been used in cryopumps to prevent 300 K thermal radiation from reaching freely cryopanels whose temperature must be kept steadily below certain levels(4 K, 20 K or something) depending on the gas to be pumped. There are two conflicting requirements in designing a baffle such that the transmission of particles(gas molecules) should be maximized, while that of the thermal radiation(photons) minimized. The transmission probability of gas molecules or photons through chevron type baffles, influenced by the detailed geometry of blades, the reflection mode, and the absorption property of the surface, was analyzed parametrically. The effects of geometrical discrepancy between the fabricated baffle and the designed one, resulting in unexpected deterioration in the performance of the baffle, were also investigated by taking into account the gaps(or overlaps) between the baffle blades and the asymmetry in the blade arms.

핵연료소결체의 편심이 정상상태에서 핵연료봉 열적 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 지배방정식은 핵연료소결체와 피복관영역에 대해 2차원 원통좌표계 (r, $\theta$)로 각각 세우고 유한요소법으로 풀었다. 갭(gap)영역에서 방위각 의존적인 열전달계수를 사용하여 동심구조는 그대로 두는 반면 갭크기의 비대칭성을 고려하였다. 재료물성치는 온도의 함수로 사용되었으며 체적 열발생은 반경의 함수로 고려하였다. 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 피복관 외부 표면에서 최대국부열속은 증가하였고, 핵연료 소결체의 최대온도와 핵연료 평균온도는 감소하였다. 전자는 최소 DNBR계산시 불확실도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되며, 후자의 두현상은 핵연료 소결체의 용융 가능성과 사고시 핵연료 잠재에너지를 줄어들게 할 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 핵연료 소결체의 편심으로 인해 핵연료 소결체의 온도분포는 비대칭을 이루고 최대온도의 위치는 변동되었다.

Background: Breast cancer is a common disorder in women, constituting one of the main causes of death all over the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of the breast tissue diseases by the help of thermography. Materials and Methods: In this paper, we applied non-contact infrared camera, INFREC R500 for evaluating the capabilities of thermography. The study was conducted on 60 patients suspected of breast disease, who were referred to Imam Khomeini Imaging Center. Information obtained from the questionnaires and clinical examinations along with the obtained diagnostic results from ultrasound images, biopsies and thermography, were analyzed. The results indicated that the use of thermography as well as the asymmetry technique is useful in identifying hypoechoic as well as cystic masses. It should be noted that the patient should not suffer from breast discharge. Results: The accuracy of asymmetry technique identification is respectively 91/89% and 92/30%. Also the accuracy of the exact location of identification is on the 61/53% and 75%. The approach also proved effective in identifying heterogeneous lesions, fibroadenomas, and intraductal masses, but not ISO-echoes and calcified masses. Conclusions: According to the results of the investigation, thermography may be useful in the initial screening and supplementation of diagnostic procedures due to its safety (its non-radiation properties), low cost and the good recognition of breast tissue disease.

마이크로 흐름센서는 반도체 집적기술을 이용할 수 있어, 소형으로 제작이 가능하며 빠른 응답특성을 가져 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 넓은 흐름의 세기 영역에서 정밀한 감도를 가지는 2차원의 마이크로 흐름센서를 실리콘 기판위에 적충시켜 제작하였다. 흐름센서의 중앙에 하나의 히터와 양측에 온도를 검출할 수 있는 3쌍의 감지막을 가진 새로운 센서 구조를 제안하고, 온도 검출에 대한 성능평가를 위하여 시간영역에서의 유한차분법을 이용하여 공기흐름의 세기 변화에 따른 온도분포를 계산하였다. 계산결과를 통하여 실제 흐름센서의 동작을 정량적으로 분석하였다.

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is allosterically activated by cAMP and functions as a global transcription regulator in enteric bacteria. Structural information on CRP in the absence of cAMP (apo-CRP) is essential to fully understand its allosteric behavior. In this study we demonstrated interdomain interactions in apo-CRP, using a comparative thermodynamic approach to the intact protein and its isolated domains, which were prepared either by limited proteolysis or using recombinant DNA. Thermal denaturation of the intact apo-CRP, monitored by differential scanning calorimetry, revealed an apparently single cooperative transition with a slight asymmetry. Combined with circular dichroism and fluorescence analysis, the thermal denaturation of apo-CRP could be interpreted as a coupled process involving two individual transitions, each attributable to a structural domain. When isolated individually, both of the domains exhibited significantly altered thermal behavior, thus pointing to the existence of non-covalent interdomain interactions in the intact apo-CRP. These observations suggest that the allosteric conformational change of CRP upon binding to cAMP is achieved by perturbing or modifying pre-existing interdomain interactions. They also underline the effectiveness of a comparative approach using calorimetric and structural probes for studying the thermodynamics of a protein.

The characteristics of the typhoon's extratropical transition (ET) over the western North Pacific area were investigated using the cyclone phase space (CPS) diagram method suggested by Hart (2003). The data used in this study were the global data assimilation prediction system (GDAPS) and NCEP data set. The number of typhoons selected were 75 cases during 2002 to 2007, and the three parameters were analyzed : the motion relative thickness asymmetry of the storm (B), the upper thermal wind shear and the lower thermal wind shear. Comparing the best-track data provided by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center /Tokyo, the time of the ET based on CPS was 2~6 hours earlier than the best-track data. And it was shown that the 400- km and 30 kt wind radius of storm for the CPS method were better agreement than the previous suggested radius 500- km.

마이크로 흐름센서는 종래의 반도체 집적회로 공정기술을 이용하여 소형으로 제작이 가능하며, 빠른 응답특성으로 다양한 응용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 넓은 흐름의 세기 영역에서 정밀한 감도를 가지는 2차원 마이크로 흐름센서를 실리콘 기판위에 설계하였다. 흐름센서 중앙에 하나의 히터와 양측에 3쌍의 온도 감지막을 가진 새로운 구조를 제안하고, 제안된 구조의 성능평가를 위해 유한차분법을 이용하석 열운송방정식을 시간영역에서 해석하였다. 성능평가는 제안된 흐름센서 모델에 대하여 공기흐름의 세기 변화에 따른 온도분포를 계산함으로써 실제 흐름센서의 동작을 정량적으로 분석하였다.

This paper was to investigate the preparation of polysulfone(PS), polyethersulfone(PES) and polyphenylsulfone(PPS) membrane. The thermal property of PPS was higher than that of others. From the result of SEM, the concentration of polymer was found to have a significant effect on the structure of membrane, and the structure of membrane made of PES is found to have regular micell form of asymmetry. Permeability and selectivity for oxygen and nitrogen gas in the air were analyzed by GC. Permeabilities of the membrane made of PES for oxygen and nitrogen in air, 1.5 and $0.7(x10^9[cm^3(STP)cm/cm^2seccmHg]) $, respectively was higher than that of others. and Selectivity of the membrane made of PPS for oxygen to nitrogen gas in air was 2.9.

A new silicon micro flow sensor with multiple temperature sensing elements was proposed and fabricated in considering wide range flow velocity measuring device. Thermal mass flow sensor measures the asymmetry of temperature profile around the heater which is modulated by the fluid flow. A micro mass flow sensor was normally composed of a central heater and a pair of temperature sensing elements around it. A new 2-D wide range micro flow sensor structure with three pairs of temperature sensing elements and a central heater was proposed and numerically simulated by Finite Difference Formulation to confirm the feasibility of the wide flow range sensor structure. To confirm the simulation result, the new flow sensor was fabricated on silicon substrate and the basic flow sensing properties of the sensor were measured.
