To reveal shear-wave velocities ($v_s$) and site characterization of Wonju, Korea, Rayleigh waves were recorded at 78 sites of lower altitude using 12 to 24 4.5-Hz vertical geophones for 20 days during the period of February to September 2013. Dispersion curves of the Rayleigh waves obtained by the extended spatial autocorrelation method were inverted using the damped least-squares method to derive $v_s$ models. From these 1-D models, the average $v_s$ to a depth of 30 m ($v_s30$), $v_s$ of weathered rocks, depths to these basement rocks, and average $v_s$ of the overburden layer were derived to be $16.3{\pm}0.7m$, $576{\pm}8m/s$, $290{\pm}7m/s$, and $418{\pm}13m/s$, respectively, in the 95% confidence range. To determine adequate proxies for $v_s30$, we computed correlation coefficients of $v_s30$ with topographic slope (r = 0.46) and elevation (r = 0.43). An empirical linear relationship is presented as a combination of individually estimated $v_s30$ with weighting factors of 0.45, 0.45, and 0.1 for topographic slope, elevation, and mapped lithology, respectively. Due to a weak correlation between $v_s30$ obtained from inversion of dispersion curves and the proxy-based estimation (r = 0.50), however, the relatively large error range should be considered for applications of this relationship.

Heat transfer model and energy dissipation rate were investigated to examine the heat transfer mechanism in bubble columns with continuous operation. The energy dissipation rate($E_D$) obtained from the unsteady state heat transfer model based on the surface renewal theory was significantly small, comparing with the hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate($P_v$) calculated from the overall hydrodynamic energy balance based on the behaviors and holdups of gas and liquid phases in the column. It was found from these results that the energy dissipation rate based on the surface renewal theory is independent of the hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate obtained from the overall hydrodynamic energy balance in the bubble column, in considering their mechanism. The different two energy dissipation rates were correlated in terms of operating variables within this experimental conditions, respectively.

Since clear span-to-depth ratio is used to define what is so called a deep beam, it is an important parameter ratio for study about deep beam. Deep beams can be designed by flexure design method, and shear provided by concrete ($v_c$) and by steel ($v_s$) for deep flexure members are provided in ACI 318-99 [1]. But in later version of ACI (from ACI 318-02) it is not provided and deep beams shall be designed either by taking into account nonlinear distribution of strain or by Appendix A of Strut-and-Tie Models (STM). The trend of deep beam design seems to be familiar with strut-and-tie model, but ACI traditional design is not forgotten. By comparing these two method, there should a point which definitely explain the different between the two methods. In this study, 68 samples result of steel, after reinforcement arrangement, are taken to be analyzed.

A simulation model was used to examine the effects of climate variation on the tree-ring structure of Larix leptolepis trees growing at a plantation plot in Worak National Park in central Korea. The model uses mathematical equations to simulate processes affecting cell(tracheid) size variations for individual rings using daily precipitation and temperature measurements. Limiting conditions are estimated from temperature, day length and a calculated water balance. The results indicate that the seasonal growth is mostly limited by the soil moisture content and precipitation income during April and May. The April-May temperature also inversely influences the growth by increasing water losses from soil. The global climate-change scenario which includes regional warming(increasing temperature in spring-summer periods) appears to decrease the duration of optimal growths. Consequently, the model estimated that Larix leptolepis would lose the total production of xylem by 25%.

Human norovirus (hNoV) infection accounts for the vast majority of virus-mediated gastroenteritis cases worldwide. It causes self-limiting acute illnesses in healthy individuals lasting for a few days, however, in immunocompromised patients, hNoV can establish chronic and potentially fatal infections. Since its discovery in 1968, much effort had been made to develop cell culture and animal infection models to no avail. Only recently, some promising breakthroughs in the development of in vitro infection models have been made. Here, we will contrast and compare those models and discuss what further needs to be done to develop a reliable and robust cell culture model.

In this paper, the MMIC SPST switches operating from DC to 3GHz were designed and implemented. Prior to the design of switches, the small and large-signal switch models were needed to predict switch performance accurately. The newly proposed small-signal switch model parameters were extracted from measured S-parameters using optimization technique with estimated initial values and boundary limits. In the extraction of large-signal switch model parameters, the current source was modeled by fitting empirical equations to measured DC data and the charge model was derived from extracted channel capacitances from measured S-parameters varying the drain-source voltage. To design basic series-shunt SPST switches and isolation-improved SPST switches, we applied this model to commercial microwave circuit simulator. The improved SPST switches exhibited 0.302dB insertion loss, 35.762dB isolation, 1.249 input VSWR, 1.254 output VSWR, and about 15.7dBm PldB with 0/-3V control voltages at 3GHz.

(Ba, Sr)TiO3 (BST)[1-3] 박막은 유전상수가 크고 고주파에서도 유전특성 저하가 적기 때문에 ULSI DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory)에 응용 가능한 물질로 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만, 아직 BST 박막을 DRSM에 바로 적용하기 위해선 몇 가지 문제점이 있다. 그 중 누설전류 문제는 디바이스 응용시 매우 중요한 요소이다. 특히, DRAM에서 refresh time와 직접적인 관련이 있어 디바이스 내의 신뢰도 및 전력소모를 결정하는 주된 인자가 된다. 지금까지, BST 박막의 인가전업, 온도, 그리고 전극물질에 따른 누설전류 현상들이 고찰되었고, 이에 관한 많은 전도기구 모델들이 제시되었다. Schottky emission, Poole-Frenkel emission, space charge limited conduction 등이 그 대표적인 예이다. 하지만 아쉽게도 BST 박막의 정확한 누설 전류 전도 기구를 완전히 설명하는데는 아직 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제작된 BST 커패시터 내의 기본적인 전기적 성질을 조사하고, 정확한 누설전류 기구 규명에 초점을 두고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존의 여러 기구들과 비교 분석할 것이다. 하부전극으로 사용하기 위해 스퍼터링 방법으로 p-Si(100) 기판위에 RuO2 박막을 약 120nm 증착하였다. 증착전의 chamberso의 초기압력은 5$\times$10-6 Torr이하의 압력으로 유지시켰다. Ar/O2의 비는 이전 실험에서 최적화된 9/1로 하였다. BST 박막 증착 시 5분간 pre-sputtering을 실시한 후 하부전극 기판위에 BST 박막을 증착하였다. 증착이 끝난 후 시편을 상온까지 냉각시킨 후 꺼내었다. 전기적 특성을 측정하기 상부전극으로 RuO2와 Al 박막을 각각 상온에서 100nm 증착하였다. 이때 hole mask를 이용하여 반경이 140um인 원형의 상부전극을 증착하였다. BST 박막의 증착온도가 증가하고 Ar/O2 비가 감소할수록 제작된 BST-커패시터의 전기적 성질이 우수하였다. 증착온도 $600^{\circ}C$, ASr/O2=5/5에서 증착된 막의 누설전류는 4.56$\times$10-8 A/cm2, 유전상수는 600 정도의 값을 나타내었다. 인가전압에 따른 BST 커패시터의 transition-current는 Curie-von Schweider 모델을 따랐다. BST 박막의 누설전류 전도기구는 기존의 Schottky 모델이 아니라 modified-Schottky 무델로 잘 설명되었다. Modified-Schottky 모델을 통해 BST 박막의 광학적 유전율 $\varepsilon$$\infty$=4.9, 이동도 $\mu$=0.019 cm2/V-s, 장벽 높이 $\psi$b=0.79 eV를 구하였다.

This study describes the damage effects modeling for a quantitative prediction about the hazardous distances from pressurized chlorine saturated liquid tank, which has two-phase leakage. The heavy gas, chlorine is an accidental substance that is used as a raw material and intermediate in chemical plants. Based on the evaluation method for damage prediction and accident effects assessment models, the operating conditions were set as the standard conditions to reveal the optimal variables on an accident due to the leakage of a liquid chlorine storage vessel. A model of the atmospheric diffusion model, ALOHA (V5.4.4) developed by USEPA and NOAA, which is used for a risk assessment of Off-site Risk Assessment (ORA), was used. The Yeosu National Industrial Complex is designated as a model site, which manufactures and handles large quantities of chemical substances. Weather-related variables and process variables for each scenario need to be modelled to derive the characteristics of leakage accidents. The estimated levels of concern (LOC) were calculated based on the Gaussian diffusion model. As a result of ALOHA modeling, the hazardous distance due to chlorine diffusion increased with increasing air temperature and the wind speed decreased and the atmospheric stability was stabilized.
