Exposed column base connections are used in low- to mid-rise steel moment resisting frames. This paper is to investigate the effect of the base plate thickness on the exposed column base connection strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. Five specimens with different base plate thickness were numerically modelled using ABAQUS software. The numerical model is able to reproduce the key characteristics of the experimental response. Based on the numerical analysis, the critical base plate thickness to identify the base plate and anchor rod yield mechanism is proposed. For the connection with base plate yield mechanism, the resisting moment is carried by the flexural bending of the base plate. Yield lines in the base plate on the tension side and compression side are illustrated, respectively. This type of connection exhibits a relatively large energy dissipation. For the connection with anchor rod yield mechanism, the moment is resisted through a combination of bearing stresses of concrete foundation on the compression side and tensile forces in the anchor rods on the tension side. This type of connection exhibits self-centering behavior and shows higher initial stiffness and bending strength. In addition, the methods to predict the moment resistance of the connection with different yield mechanisms are presented. And the evaluated moment resistances agree well with the values obtained from the FEM model.

Precipitation time series is a mixture of complicate fluctuation and changes. The monthly precipitation data of 61 stations during 36 years (1973-2008) in Korea are comprehensively analyzed using the EOFs technique and CSEOFs technique respectively. The main motivation for employing this technique in the present study is to investigate the physical processes associated with the evolution of the precipitation from observation data. The twenty-five leading EOF modes account for 98.05% of the total monthly variance, and the first two modes account for 83.68% of total variation. The first mode exhibits traditional spatial pattern with annual cycle of corresponding PC time series and second mode shows strong North South gradient. In CSEOF analysis, the twenty-five leading CSEOF modes account for 98.58% of the total monthly variance, and the first two modes account for 78.69% of total variation, these first two patterns' spatial distribution show monthly spatial variation. The corresponding mode's PC time series reveals the annual cycle on a monthly time scale and long-term fluctuation and first mode's PC time series shows increasing linear trend which represents that spatial and temporal variability of first mode pattern has strengthened. Compared with the EOFs analysis, the CSEOFs analysis preferably exhibits the spatial distribution and temporal evolution characteristics and variability of Korean historical precipitation.

For the first time, the new dual trench gate Emitter Switched Thyristor is proposed for eliminating snap-back effect which leads to a lot of serious problems of device applications. Also, the parasitic thyristor that is inherent in the conventional EST is completely eliminated in the proposed EST structure, allowing higher maximum controllable current densities for ESTs. Moreover, the new dual trench gate allows homogenous current distribution throughout device and preserves the unique feature of the gate controlled current saturation of the thyristor current. The conventional EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 2.73V and $354/{\S}^2$, respectively. But the proposed EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 0.93V and $58A/{\S}^2$, respectively. Saturation current density of the proposed EST at anode voltage 6.11V is $3797A/{\S}^2$. The characteristics of 700V forward blocking of the proposed EST obtained from two dimensional numerical simulations (MEDICI) is described and compared with that of the conventional EST.

박물관에서는 조명에 의한 전시물의 손상을 최소화하고 관객의 인식의 편의성을 증진시키기 위하여 적절한 조명 기준이 요구된다. 기준의 작성을 위하여 각국의 박물관 조명 기준을 분석하였다. 우리나라 고유의 유물에 대한 변색 특성을 측정한 결과를 이용하여, 각종 광원에 의해 눈에 뜨이는 변색이 일어나는 적산조도를 계산하고 ISO등급에 따른 분류에 수행하였다. 조명기준을 만드는 데에 필요한 여러 가지 고려 사항과 이 사항들에 대하여 결정을 내리는 과정을 서술하였다. 최종적으로 국내의 박물관에 적용할 수 있는 조명기준을 제시하였다.

The electrodes comprising nano-sized $LiFePO_4$, carbon black and binder are prepared with two different Al current collectors. One is the generally used normal Al foil and the other is the chemically etched Al foil. Surface characteristics of each Al foil and electrochemical performance of the cathodes using each foil are investigated. The electrode from the etched Al foil exhibits better physical and electrochemical properties as compared to those of the normal Al foil because the etched Al foil has rough surface with sub-micron pores which improve the adhesion between the electrode materials and the substrate. The electrode on the etched Al foil has such a strong peel strength that the impedance is smaller than that of normal one. Indeed the $LiFePO_4$ electrode from the etched Al foil exhibits a better rate capability and remains intact even after storage for 1 week at the charged state at the elevated temperature $60^{\circ}C$.

Chitosan powder is synthesized by a deasetylation process of chitin, obtained from processing of dried shrimp shell powder. Subsequently, chitosan (CS) membranes filled by montmorillonite (MMT) particles and phosphotungstic acid are prepared, and characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The morphology, obtained by SEM for the composite membrane, showed that MMT filler is successfully incorporated and relatively well dispersed in the chitosan polymer matrix. Water and methanol uptake for the CS/MMT composite membranes decrease with increasing MMT loadings, but IEC value increases. In all prepared CS/MMT composite membranes, the CS membrane filled by 5 wt% MMT particles exhibits the best proton conductivity, while that with 10 wt% MMT loading exhibits the lowest methanol permeability; these values are 2.67 mS·cm^-1 and 3.40 × 10^-7 cm²·s^-1, respectively. The best membrane selectivity is shown in the CS/MMT10 composite membrane; this shows that 10 wt% filled MMT is the optimum loading to improve the performance of the chitosan composite membrane. These characteristics make the developed chitosan composite membranes a promising electrolyte for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application.

In this paper, we investigate the electrical characteristics of two trench-gate-type super-barrier rectifiers (TSBRs) under different p-body implantation conditions (low and high). Also, design considerations for the TSBRs are discussed in this paper. The TSBRs' electrical properties depend strongly on their respective p-body implantation conditions. In the case of the TSBR with a low p-body implantation condition, it exhibits MOSFET-like properties, such as a low forward voltage ($V_F$) drop, high reverse leakage current, and a low peak reverse recovery current owing to a majority carrier operation. However, in the case of the TSBR with a high p-body implantation condition, it exhibits pn junction diode.like properties, such as a high $V_F$, low reverse leakage current, and high peak reverse recovery current owing to a minority carrier operation. As a result, the TSBR with a low p-body implantation condition is capable of operating as a MOSFET, and the TSBR with a high p-body implantation condition is capable of operating as either a pn junction diode or a MOSFET, but not both at the same time.

Many materials including cementitious concrete-type materials undergo material property changes during high-rate loading. There is a wealth of research regarding this phenomenon for concrete in compression and tension. However, there is minimal knowledge about how mortar material used in concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction behaves in high-rate shear loading. A series of experiments was conducted to examine the bond strength of mortar bonded to CMU units under high-rate shear loading. A novel experimental setup using a shock tube and dynamic ram were used to load specially constructed shear triplets in a double lap shear configuration with no pre-compression. The Finite Element Method was leveraged in conjunction with data from the experimental investigation to establish if the shear bond between concrete masonry units and mortar exhibits any rate dependency. An increase in shear bond strength was observed when loaded at a high strain rate. This data indicates that the CMU-mortar bond exhibits a rate dependent strength change and illustrates the need for further study of the CMU-mortar interface characteristics at high strain rates.
