The muiltiwire proportional counter for the measurement of low-level and environmental $\alpha$ particles emitting nuclides was developed. External dimension of the devloped multiwire proportional counter is $350{\times}290{\times}30mm$ and the sensitivity area is $250{\times}200mm$. The wall material of the detector was selected the stainless steel to prevent the deformation by external impact and to obtain minimum background. The anode and cathode wires were used the stainless steel material of diameter $50{\mu}m$. The spacing of each wires are 10.0mm, 5.0mm and the numbers of total wire are 21, 42 lines, respectively. The multiwire proportional counter was designed that the measurement source is placed within the detector to prevent the wall absorption effect and the efficiency variation by various source heights. The characteristics of the developed detector have been investigated to obtain the plateau, operating voltage, background, counting efficiency, position sensitivity and energy resolution etc. For the $^{241}Am$ nuclide, the calculated LLD(Lower Limit of Detection) is 5.0mBq/L which is lower than 40mBq/L of recommended LLD value by ISO(International Organization for Standardization).

The high content of potassium in molasses limits its usage as a raw material for stock feed. Moreover, its high viscosity makes it difficult to develop an efficient removal process. In this study, ion exchange and solvent extraction experiments have been performed to investigate the removal of potassium from a mixture of molasses with water. Cationic exchange resins (AG50W-X8 and Diphonix) showed a high loading percentage of potassium but the occurrence of breakthrough in few bed volumes was a drawback to the industrial application. Among the cationic extractants (D2EHPA, PC 88A, Cyanex 272) tested in this study, saponified PC 88A was found to be the best extractant for the removal of potassium. Batch simulation studies on a three stage counter current extraction confirmed that 85% of potassium was removed from 50 wt % molasses solution in water by using saponifed PC 88A.

Recently, rotating elements which use mechanical and electrical systems have been utilized for high speed and accuracy to increase the performance. The most important thing to get a more reliable system is to understand the friction, wear and characteristics which has an effect on various coated surfaces. In this study, the tribologicali characteristics of various soft/hard materials were investigated by using a custom-built pin-on-reciprocator tester From the experimental results, it was found that the friction coefficients of the soft material coated surfaces were lower under various normal loads due to trier self-lubricating ability and material transfer to the counter surface.

The brake performance of sintered friction materials for the high speed train was studied. In this study, newly developed sintered materials based on copper were compared with the commercial products for high speed trains. They were tested on a 1/5 scale dynamometer using low carbon steel disks. Effectiveness, fade, and recovery tests were carried out to examine friction performance and the change of disk thickness variation (DTV) during brake applications and noise propensity were also evaluated. Results showed that the two sintered friction materials exhibit similar friction coefficients and braking performance, whereas the newly developed friction material was superior in terms of DTV generation and noise propensity to the commercial friction material. The improvement of the newly developed friction material was attributed to the high graphite content which reduced the stick-slip phenomena and prevented uneven disk wear by producing friction films on the counter disk.

A multi-wire proportional counter with large sensitive area was designed and constructed considering diameter of anode wire. its material and space. A preamplifier connecting detector to main amplifier or counter was also designed and constructed for measurement output pulse from multi-wire proportional counter. The preamplifier was composed of charge-sensitive differential circuit. clipping circuit and amplification circuit. To test the performance of this equipment, terminal output pulse from the preamplifier was measured and compared with noise For these tests $^{239}Pu(360 Bq)\;and\; ^{90}Sr/^{90}Y(250 Bq)$ were used as radiation sources. The noise ingredient contributing to the maximum amplitude(180mV from $^{239}Pu$ and 200 mV from $^{90}Sr/^{90}Y$) was found to be very small(8 mV) Piled up pulse occurring at the output pulse of charge-sensitive differential circuit was measured as an independent pulse since this affected the amplification in the clipping circuit and amplification circuit. This information can be used to improve the loss of measurement due to piled up pulse.

A TCO-less ruthenium (Ru) catalytic layer on glass substrate instead of conventional Ru/TCO/ glass substrate was assessed as counter electrode (CE) material in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by examining the effect of the Ru thickness on the DSSC performance. Ru films with different thicknesses (34, 46, 69, and 90 nm) were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on glass substrates to replace both existing catalyst and electrode layer. In order to make our comparison, we also prepared an Ru catalytic layer by a similar method on FTO/glass substrate. Finally, we prepared the $0.45cm^2$ DSSC device the properties of the DSSCs were examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and current-voltage (I-V) method. CV measurements revealed an increase in catalytic activity with increasing film thickness. The charge transfer resistance at the interface between the electrolyte and Rudecreased with increasing Ru thickness. I-V results showed that the energy conversion efficiency increased up to 1.96%. Our results imply that TCO-less Ru/glass might perform as both catalyst and electrode layer when it is used in counter electrodes in DSSCs.

Of late, the thrust vectoring control, using fluidic co-flow and counter-flow concepts, has been received much attention since it not only improves the maneuverability of propulsive engine but also reduces an additional material load due to the trailing control wings, which in turn reduce the aerodynamic drag. However, the control effects are not understood well since the flow field involves very complicated non: physics such as shock wave/boundary layer interaction, separation and significant unsteadiness. Existing data are not enough to achieve the effectiveness and usefulness of the thrust vectoring control, and systematic work is required for the purpose of practical applications In the present study, computational study has been performed to investigate the effects of the thrust vector control using the fluidic co-and counter-flow concepts. The results obtained show that, for a given pressure ratio, the thrust deflection angle has a maximum value at a certain suction flow rate, which is at less than $5\%$ of the mass flow rate of the primary jet. With a longer collar, the same vector angle is achievable with smaller mass flow rate.

With international urgence of terror situation, many methods of terror techniques and skills are appearing and more intense and threatening terror is braking out not only in the air(plane), but also in the sea(ship). Korea is surrounded by 3 sides of sea and is a proud maritime nation that should advance to foreign country through the sea because South Korea and North Korea are confronting. Korea depend on the maritime transportation, 99.7% of exporting, importing material resources. Therefore, acquisition of the marine safety has the great affect on national security and economical life. On the high tension of situation about threat and possibility of maritime terroism, the potential ways of the improvement policy for counter-tactics against big maritime terror are the following. First, we should construct clear and well-organized network for accurate information about maritime terrorism Second, we should have the information of all domestic, foreign passenger's ships Third, national important facilities such as atomic energy plant, thermo-electric power plant, shipyard need policies to manage all emergency situation Fourth, government authorities should improve tactic abilitities by competing with support and budget inside of nation as well as outside of nation. To develop big maritime terror of our country, we will have to hold cooperative training & tactics contest of big maritime terror by cooperating educational industry organization with similar institute, improve the ability of members of big terror and acquire tactics information by excavating and exchanging a new technique through tactics seminar and public hearing.

If we consider the origins of new architectural language in Russian, as opposed to its social dimensions, then we are looking at quite another area of pre-Revolutionary activity: art. It was Tatlin's early ‘counter-reliefs’ which first explored the way new materials might generate new artistic form. The Basis of his art is collage and the reality of materials. In 1915, he exhibited the first of his ‘counter-reliefs’, casual montages of pieces of metal that invade the space around them, making the decomposition of the forms three-dimensional. What is not in doubt is the primacy of materials in Tatlin's art. He was a key figure in the transition from art towards design and ‘construction’, the last was accomplished with ‘real materials in real space.’After the October Revolution, one of the central myths of avant-garde was the realization of a total work of art. The progress has developed in the directions to an unprecedented creative realm, situated somewhere between painting and architecture in the post-revolutionary period. Paramount among such pioneer works was Tatlin's design for a monument to the Third International in 1919. Here In an artistic form, his investigation of ‘material, volume and construction’ was clearly embodied. In the comtemporary architecture, Tatlin's concept has been a great influence on the various tendencies of spatial expressions. For example, the architecture with concept of ex-formality has many varied aspects of space composition - dynamic forms with plasticity of concrete, ex-cubic composition with free walls, disposal composition by geometric collision and superimposition, and etc.
