The validity of measured data is fundamental factor for the power system automation Measured values could have errors that are caused by the communication errors and malfunctioning measuring devices. The accuracy and reliability of measured values at a substation is an important condition for robust and fault tolerant automata. Errors can be reduced by state estimation, however, global reliability of state estimation goes down in case of the existence of some bad data In this paper, a least square state estimation and bad sensor detection algorithm based on chi-square theory, ale proposed and it is applied to a domestic 154kV distribution substations. A simulator together with user friendly graphic users interface is developed using C language and Visual Basic. TCP/IP is equipped for future connection with other operation systems.

Non-intrusive methods based on active remote IR illumination for eye tracking is important for many applications of vision-based man-machine interaction. One problem that has plagued those methods is their sensitivity to lighting condition change. This tends to significantly limit their scope of application. In this paper, we present a new real-time eye detection and tacking methodology that works under variable and realistic lighting conditions. Based on combining the bright-Pupil effect resulted from IR light and the conventional appearance-based object recognition technique, our method can robustly track eyes when the pupils ale not very bright due to significant external illumination interferences. The appearance model is incorporated in both eyes detection and tacking via the use of support vector machine and the mean shift tracking. Additional improvement is achieved from modifying the image acquisition apparatus including the illuminator and the camera.

In order to analyze pulsating flows in elastic blood vessels, a method based on the ALE concept and finite volume method was reformed and modulated to include wall motion of elastic vessels and impedance phase angle(phase difference between wall motion and blood flow). Our study indicated wall shear rates(WSR) were significantly influenced by the wall motion and the impedance phase angle. For larger wall motion more than $5{\%},$ the computed WSR started to deviate from the results of the perturbation theory that assumed smaller wall motion. The study showed that oscillatory shear index increased as the impedance phase angle became more negative like $-70{\circ}\;or\;-80{\circ}$ due to reduced mean WSR and increased amplitude of WSR. This result indicated that hypertensive patients are more vulnerable to atherosclerosis than normal persons because of the role of more negative impedance phase angles usually observed in these patients.

In this paper, the Si vertical Hall devices ale fabricated by using standard bipolar process and investigated in terms of the opeating and noise properties. The sensitivity of device with P+ isolation dam(type B) has been increased up to about 1.2 times compared to that device without the dam also noise has been increased. With the condition of f=I[KHz], band-width 1[Hz], the resolution of magnetic-field detection were about $0.97[{\mu}T]$/ type B and $1.25[{\mu}T]$/ type A, respectively, thus we must consider correlation the low noise or good resolution and high sensitivity in the situation for device geometry design or even for the materials.

A simplified analytical study for micro-sized single metal particle combustion in air was conducted in the present study. The metal particle combustion consists of two distinct reaction regimes, ignition and quasi-steady burning, and the thermo-fluidic phenomena in each stage are formulated by virtue of the conservation and transport equations. When particle temperature reaches to 1200 K, ended an ignition stage and was converted at quasi-steady combustion stage. Effects of Initial particle size, convection, ambient pressure and temperature are examined and addressed with validation.

Water aeration is an effective water treatment process, which involves the injection of air or air-water mixture into water treatment reservoir commonly through pipes. The main purpose of water aeration is to maintain healthy levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), which is the most important water quality factor. The pipes' operating conditions are important for controlling the efficiency and effectiveness of aeration process. Many studies have been conducted on two-phase flows in pipes, however, there are a few studies to deal with small s ale in millimeter. The main objective of this study is to perform 2-dimensional two-phase simulations inside various straight pipes using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) OpenFOAM (Open source Field Operation And Manipulation) tools to examine the influence of flow patterns on bubble size, which is closely related to DO concentration in a water body. The both flow regimes, laminar and turbulence, have been considered in this study. For turbulence, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) has been applied. The coalescence and breakage of bubbles caused by random collisions and turbulent eddies, respectively, are considered in this research. Sauter mean bubble diameter and water velocity are compared against experimental data. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) elastic gridshells consist of long continuous GFRP tubes that form elastic deformations. In this paper, a method for the form-finding of gridshell structures is presented based on the interpretable machine learning (ML) approaches. A comparative study is conducted on several ML algorithms, including support vector regression (SVR), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), AdaBoost, XGBoost, category boosting (CatBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). A numerical example is presented using a standard double-hump gridshell considering two characteristics of deformation as objective functions. The combination of the grid search approach and k-fold cross-validation (CV) is implemented for fine-tuning the parameters of ML models. The results of the comparative study indicate that the LightGBM model presents the highest prediction accuracy. Finally, interpretable ML approaches, including Shapely additive explanations (SHAP), partial dependence plot (PDP), and accumulated local effects (ALE), are applied to explain the predictions of the ML model since it is essential to understand the effect of various values of input parameters on objective functions. As a result of interpretability approaches, an optimum gridshell structure is obtained and new opportunities are verified for form-finding investigation of GFRP elastic gridshells during lifting construction.

Alexandrite crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. Relationships between or ystal quality and crystal growth factors such as pulling rate, rotation rate, purity of BeO po wders and evaporation loss compensation of BeO and Cr3+/Al3+substitution ratio were investigated. As a result, 1) high purity (more than 99.99p,) of BeO, as a raw material, is requisite condition for single crystal growth, 2) evaporation loss comp ensation is also requisite for high quality crystal growth. This compensation depends on pulling rate and Cr3+/Al3+ ratio. And 3) optimum pulling and rotation rate for alexandrite growth were 0.5∼1.0mm/hr and 20∼25rpm, respectively. Ale xandrite crystals were grown to (001) direction. Various types of defects were detected by the polarizing microscope and we discussed how to remove these defects. And room tempo rature absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured.

현재 화합물 반도체 나노구조는 광학적, 전기적 특성을 기반으로 하는 단전자 트랜지스터, 적외선 검출기, 레이저, 태양전지와 같은 분야에 응용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 양자점은 3차원으로 구속되어 있는 상태 밀도를 갖고 있어 레이저 응용 시 낮은 문턱 전류 밀도, 높은 이득, 높은 열적 안정성을 기대되고 있지만 양자점의 운반자 수집과 열적 안정성의 한계가 여전히 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 방법이 연구되고 있으며, 그 중 단층 양자점에 비해 운반자 수집과 열적 안정성이 뛰어난 다층 양자점이 결합된 구조에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고, 다층으로 성장된 양자점 구조는 양자점의 크기 분포 조절이 용이하고 양자점 층간의 전기적 결합력이 강한 특성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자 선속 에피 성장법(Molecular Beam Epitaxy; MBE)과 원자 층 교대 성장법(Atomic Layer Epitaxy; ALE)으로 CdTe/ZnTe 다층 양자점을 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께를 변화하면서 성장 후 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 저온 광루미네센스 측정(Photoluminescence; PL)을 통하여 ZnTe 장벽층 두께가 증가할수록 양자점의 PL 피크가 높은 에너지로 이동함을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께가 증가할수록 양자점 층간의 결합력이 감소하면서 양자점의 크기가 작아졌기 때문이다. 그리고 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께가 증가할수록 PL 세기가 커지는 것을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께가 증가할수록 더 많은 운반자가 양자점으로 구속되기 때문이다. 또한 온도 의존 광루미네센스 측정 결과 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께가 증가할수록 열적 활성화 에너지가 커지는 것을 관찰하였고, 시분해 광루미네센스 측정을 통해 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께에 따른 운반자 동역학에 대해 연구하였다. 이와 같은 결과 CdTe/ZnTe 다층 양자점 구조에서 장벽층의 두께에 따른 광학적 특성에 대해 이해 할 수 있었다.

현재 화합물 반도체 나노구조는 적외선 검출기, 레이저, 발광 다이오드, 단전자 트랜지스터, 태양전지 등과 같은 고효율 광전자 소자에서의 응용을 위해 활발한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 양자점은 3차원으로 구속되어 있는 상태 밀도를 갖고 있어 레이저 응용 시 낮은 문턱 전류 밀도, 높은 이득, 높은 열적 안정성을 기대되고 있다. 하지만 양자점의 크기가 불규칙적이고 운반자 수집의 한계로 인하여 기대 이하의 온도 안정성을 갖고 있어 이를 극복하기 위해 양자점의 크기와 운반자 수집을 제어하기 위해 다양한 방법이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자 선속 에피 성장법(Molecular Beam Epitaxy; MBE)과 원자 층 교대 성장법(Atomic Layer Epitaxy; ALE)으로 크기가 다른 CdTe/ZnTe 이중 양자점을 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께에 변화하면서 성장 후 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 저온 광루미네센스 측정(Photoluminescence; PL) 측정 결과 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 작은 양자점의 광 루미네센스의 세기가 감소하면서 큰 양자점의 세기가 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었는데, 이는 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 작은 양자점의 운반자들이 큰 양자점으로 이동되는 양이 많아지기 때문이다. 또한 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 큰 양자점의 반치폭(Full Width at Half Maximum; FWHM)이 단층 양자점의 반치폭 보다 감소하는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었는데 이는 작은 양자점과 결합된 큰 양자점이 작은 양자점의 strain을 받아 크기의 균일함이 증가했기 때문이다. 이와 같은 결과 두 양자점이 결합된 이중 양자점 구조가 단층 양자점의 한계인 운반자 수집과 크기의 균일함을 향상할 수 있는 좋은 구조임을 제시하고 있다.
