In this paper, a design methodology for the frequency-adaptive negative-delay circuit which can be implemented in standard CMOS memory process is proposed. The proposed negative-delay circuit which is a basic type of the analog SMD (synchronous mirror delay) measures the time difference between the input clock period and the target negative delay by utilizing analog behavior and repeats it in the next coming cycle. A new technology that compensates the auxiliary delay related with the output clock in the measure stage differentiates the Proposed method from the conventional method that compensates it in the delay-model stage which comes before the measure stage. A wider negative-delay range especially prominent in the high frequency performance than that in the conventional method can be realized through the proposed technology. In order to implement the wide locking range, a new frequency detector and the method for optimizing the bias condition of the analog circuit are suggested. An application example to the clocking circuits of a DDR SDRAM is simulated and demonstrated in a 0.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well double-poly double-metal CMOS technology.

A numerical model for nuclide migration through fractured rock media has been developed. Nuclide transport with groundwater in rock fissures and the diffusion of nuclides into rock matrix are considered one-dimensionally . In the safety assessment of the repository for radioactive waste, this one-dimensional model by the finite-difference scheme, which enables us not only to use more realistic boundary conditions but also to model the nonhomogeneous rock medium as the multilayered media, can be used effectively with the analytical mode. The solution by the numerical model will be verified analytically, and then extended to the double-layered rock medium transport model.

In this study, numerical model was developed to predict behavior of several layers in a solar pond and was solved by finite difference method. The empirical correlation that described heat and salt fluxes across interfacial boundary layer between mixed layer and diffusive layer in a solar pond were obtained from experiments and utilized in developing numerical model. As the results of this study, heat and salt fluxes across the interfacial boundary layer was found to depend on density ratio ${\beta}{\Delta}M_s/{\alpha}{\Delta}T.$ It was also found that the predicted value obtained by using the modified Weinberger's stability criteria showed a good agreement with experiment data.

This study calculated the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of greenhouse covering materials with thermal screens using a simulation model and then estimated the validity of the calculated results by comparison with measured values. The U-value decreased gradually as the thickness of the air space between the double glazing increased, and then remained essentially constant at thicknesses exceeding 25 mm. The U-value also increased with the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the hot box. The vigorous convective heat transfer between two plastic films caused unsteady heat flow and then created a nonlinear temperature distribution in the air space. The distance did not affect the U-value at distances of 50~200 mm between the plastic covering and thermal curtain. The numerical calculation results, with and without sky radiation, were in accord with the experimental results for a $30^{\circ}C$ temperature difference between the inside and outside of the hot box. In conclusion, a reliable U-value can be calculated for a temperature difference of $30^{\circ}C$ or more between the inside and outside of the hot box.

This paper proposes the rate control algorithm based on the S-JND (Saliency-Just Noticeable Difference) model for considering perceptual visual quality. The proposed rate control algorithm employs the S-JND model to simultaneously reflect human visual sensitivity and human visual attention for considering characteristics of human visual system. During allocating bits for CTU (Coding Tree Unit) level in a rate control, the bit allocation model calculates the S-JND threshold of each CTU in a picture. The threshold of each CTU is used for adaptively allocating a proper number of bits; thus, the proposed bit allocation model can improve perceptual visual quality. For performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm, the proposed algorithm was implemented on HM 16.9 and tested for sequences in Class B and Class C under the CTC (Common Test Condition) RA (Random Access), Low-delay B and Low-delay P case. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the bit-rate of 2.3%, and improves BD-PSNR of 0.07dB and bit-rate accuracy of 0.06% on average. We achieved MOS improvement of 0.03 with the proposed method, compared with the conventional method based on DSCQS (Double Stimulus Continuous Quality Scale).

Under natural condition, many rivers had shallow and gently curved shape in plane. A two dimensional mathematical model of the flow was a very attractive one. The flow characteristics in bended open channels were analyzed. The mathematical model based on the mass and the momentum equation of the two-dimensional unsteady flow was developed by introducing finite difference method and the double sweep algorithm. For the purpose of the verification of this model, the modeling results were applied to the L.F.M flume and the I.I.H.R flume. The results had a good agreement with the experimental data of the flumes. The results could be more close to the experimental data by controlling Chezy Coefficients in order to reduce the effect of friction around side wall, and be studied the importance of the convective term. The water surface profile, the direction and scale of depth average mean velocity and the path of the thread of maximum velocity in bended open channels could be computed.

In this study, closed-cell aluminum foam with an initial crack was investigated to produce an axial load-time graph. Using the 10-kN Landmarks of MTS Corporation, a 15-mm/min velocity of mode I shape was applied to the aluminum foam specimen using the displacement control method. ABAQUS 6.10 simulation was used to model and analyze the identical model in three dimensions under conditions identical to those of the experiment. The energy release rate was calculated on the basis of an axial load-displacement graph obtained from the experiment and a transient image of the crack length, and then an FE model was analyzed on the basis of this fracture energy condition. The relation between load and displacement was discussed; it was found that the aluminum foam deformed somewhat less than the adhesive layer owing to the difference in elastic modulus.

This is a basic study to investigate possibility to application of cohousing model into Korea. Purpose of this study is to grasp respondents' housing value, and its influence on intention to live in cohousing. Research method used for this study was a social survey. Respondents were 214 married people residing in Seoul and its outskirts by accidential sampling. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0 program using frequency, mean, average, factor analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, multiple regression and legit analysis. Result of this study was as follows. Housing values were classified into three categories named as individualism oriented housing value, tradition oriented housing value, and economy oriented housing value. Housing values were different by respondents groups. For example, individualism oriented housing value showed difference according to age and housing area. Tradition oriented housing value showed difference according to sex, occupation, and period of residence, while economy oriented housing value showed difference according to housing type, and home ownership. In detail, men than women, single-income family than double-income family, and detached house resident than flat resident had higher tradition oriented housing value. The younger than the elder, and Seoul resident than outskirts resident had higher economy oriented housing value. Also home owner than tenant, and the higher tradition oriented group had stronger intention to live in cohousing than others.

A robust high-speed motion controller is proposed. The proposed controller consists of the proximate time optimal servomechai는 (PTOD) for high-speed motion, disturbance observer (DOB) for robustness, friction compensator, and saturation handling element, In the proposed controller, DOB basically provides the chance to apply PTOS to non-double integrator systems by drastically reducing disturbances as well as unwanted signals due to difference between real system and the double integrator model. But, in DOB-based systems, if control input is saturated due to control input PTOS and/or DOB, overall system stability cannot be guaranteed. To solve this problem, ribust stability, when the control input is saturated. Eventually, a simple saturation handling element is inserted to maintain internal stability of overall system. Also, we explain the our two saturation handling methods, Additional Saturation Element (ASE_ and Self Adjusting Saturation (SAS), are the equivalent solutions of the saturation problem to maintain internal stability. The stability and performance of the proposed controller are verified through numerical simulations and experiments using a precision linear motor system.

In last few decades, although thermal and/or solutal buoyancy-driven recirculating flows in a closed ampoule have been intensively studies as a model problem, there exist interesting total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂ that have been unreported in the literature. It is concluded that the total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂(A) increases linearly and directly as the temperature difference regions in the range of 10℃ ≤ ΔT ≤ 50°, 3.5 × 10³ ≤ Gr_t ≤ 4.08 × 10³, 4.94 × 10⁴ ≤ Gr_s ≤ 6.87 × 10⁴. For the range of 10 Torr ≤ P_B ≤ 150 Torr, the total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂(A) decays second order exponentially as the partial pressure of component B (argon as an impurity), P_B increases. From the view point of energy transport, the fewer the partial pressure of component B (argon), P_B is, the more the energy transport is achieved.
