Lightning has a broad frequency spectrum from DC to a few MHz. Consequently, the high frequency performance of grounding systems for protection against lightning should be evaluated, with the distributed parameter circuit model in a uniform soil being used to simulate grounding impedances. This paper proposes a simulation method which applies the distributed parameter circuit model for the frequency-dependent impedance of vertically driven ground rods by considering multi-layered soil structures where ground rods are buried. The Matlab program was used to calculate the frequency-dependent ground impedances for two ground rods of different lengths. As a result, an increase of the length of ground rod is not always followed by a decrease of grounding impedance, at least at a high frequency. The results obtained using the newly proposed simulation method considering multi-layered soil structures are in good agreement with the measured results.

그래핀 기반 소재는 높은 가공성과 초박성으로 인하여 분리막 소재로서 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 스핀 코팅법을 이용하여 제조된 산화그래핀 분리막의 기체 투과 거동을 평가하였다. 산화그래핀 분리막의 구조는 산화그래핀의 크기와 산화그래핀 용액의 pH 조절을 통하여 조절될 수 있다. 산화그래핀의 크기가 작을수록 굴곡률이 작아짐에 따라 분리막의 기체 투과도 및 선택도가 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 산화그래핀에서의 기체 투과 거동은 적층된 산화그래핀 사이의 채널크기에 따라 영향을 받는다. 특히 산화그래핀 분리막의 좁은 기공과 이산화탄소 선택적인 산화그래핀 자체의 특성으로 인하여 산화그래핀 분리막은 이산화탄소에 대한 높은 투과도 및 선택성을 가지며, 이는 이산화탄소 포집에 적합한 특성을 가진다. 이러한 산화그래핀 분리막의 특이한 기체 투과 거동은 흡착-촉진 확산 거동(표면 확산 기작)으로 설명될 수 있다. 본 연구를 통하여 이산화탄소 선택성 분리막 소재 설계와 슬릿 형태의 기공과 적층 구조를 가진 분리막을 통한 기체 투과 거동 연구가 활발히 이루어질 것으로 기대한다.

With the steady increase in the demand for flexible devices, mainly in display panels, researchers have focused on finding a novel material that have excellent electrical properties even when it is bended or stretched, along with superior mechanical and thermal properties. Graphene, a single-layered two-dimensional carbon lattice, has recently attracted tremendous research interest in this respect. However, the limitations in the growing method of graphene, mainly chemical vapor deposition on transition metal catalysts, has posed severe problems in terms of device integration, due to the laborious transfer process that may damage and contaminate the graphene layer. In addition, to lower the overall cost, a fabrication technique that supports low temperature and low vacuum is required, which is the main reason why solution-based process for graphene layer deposition has become the hot issue. Nonetheless, a direct deposition method of large area, few-layered, and uniform graphene layers has not been reported yet, along with a convenient method of patterning them. Here, we report an evaporation-induced technique for directly depositing few layers of graphene nanosheets with excellent uniformity and thickness controllability on any substrate. The printed graphene nanosheets can be patterned into desired shapes and structures, which can be directly applicable as flexible and transparent electrode. To illustrate such potential, the transport properties and resistivity of the deposited graphene layers have been investigated according to their thickness. The induced internal flow of the graphene solution during tis evaporation allows uniform deposition with which its thickness, and thus resistivity can be tuned by controlling the composition ratio of the solute and solvent.

Korean industry has achieved dramatic growth in a short time through continuous technical innovations. However, safety consciousness and management have not kept pace with industry growth. The characteristics of industrial accidents in socio-technical systems have become so complicated that it has been challenging for safety professionals to implement effective preventive measures because it is difficult to determine what is happening in the complex workplace. Thus far, they have focused on technical improvements and the requirements of OSH regulations to avoid legal responsibility. Accordingly, this study has used the systemic analysis method to explain the emergence of something unexpected in complex and multi-layered business structures, which is usually related to the variabilities of humans and organizations. This study chose a shipyard where a few fatal accidents had occurred because the shipbuilding industry includes numerous variabilities, including obtaining orders, manpower supply, procurement, etc. Systemic analysis progressed using FRAM based on two accident cases related to the truss platform used in LNG vessels. The outcome shows that each function within the system has its variabilities and has become coupled or dependent on other functions, increasing the possibility of accidents. This analysis method can provide OSH professionals with practical techniques for explaining what is happening in a complex socio-technical system and how to take proper measures.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a dielectric insulator with a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. It is an appealing substrate dielectric for many applications due to its favorable properties, such as a wide band gap energy, chemical inertness and high thermal conductivity[1]. Furthermore, its remarkable mechanical strength renders few-layered hBN a flexible and transparent substrate, ideal for next-generation electronics and optoelectronics in applications. However, the difficulty of preparing high quality large-area hBN films has hindered their widespread use. Generally, large-area hBN layers prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) usually exhibit polycrystalline structures with a typical average grain size of several microns. It has been reported that grain boundaries or dislocations in hBN can degrade its electronic or mechanical properties. Accordingly, large-area single crystalline hBN layers are desired to fully realize the potential advantages of hBN in device applications. In this presentation, we report the growth and transfer of centimeter-sized, nearly single crystal hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) few-layer films using Ni(111) single crystal substrates. The hBN films were grown on Ni(111) substrates using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). The grown films were transferred to arbitrary substrates via an electrochemical delamination technique, and remaining Ni(111) substrates were repeatedly re-used. The crystallinity of the grown films from the atomic to centimeter scale was confirmed based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Careful study of the growth parameters was also carried out. Moreover, various characterizations confirmed that the grown films exhibited typical characteristics of hexagonal boron nitride layers over the entire area. Our results suggest that hBN can be widely used in various applications where large-area, high quality, and single crystalline 2D insulating layers are required.

The present block-based DCT encoder transforms images regardless of layers and then simply partitions the transformed data into a few layers, for example low and high frequency bands in JPEG. Yet, it fails to utilize the similarity of coefficients in each band. Therefore, we combine the subband coder and the block-based DCt coder in this paper. The new coding scheme enables the data to automatically be classified into several layers and increases the efficiency of transform. Various possible coding structures are investigated and the simulation results are also provided.

쏘일네일링 공법은 작업공간의 확보가 용이하고 네일길이가 어스앵커보다 비교적 짧아 도심지 지하굴착에 매우 이로운 장점이 있다. 이 공법이 도입된 이후 쏘일네일링 벽체의 거동에 관한 연구는 토조에 의한 모형실험과 이론적 연구가 진행되고 있지만 지반조건이 다층토로 구성된 현장에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 다층토 지반에 시공된 쏘일네일링 현장에서 시공중 측정된 수평변위를 토대로 한 역해석적 방법에 의해 배면지반의 이완영역거리와 이완영역계수를 고찰하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 쏘일네일링 벽체 배면지반의 이완 영역거리는 최종굴착깊이의 증가에 따라 증가함을 보였으며, 그 비율은 최종굴착깊이의 94% 정도로 나타났다. 토사층과 암층이 혼합되어 있는 다층토 지반에서 토사층의 비율이 클수록 이완영역계수도 증가하였으나, 약 1.05값에서 수렴하는 경향을 나타냈다. 벽체 최대수평변위에 대한 지표면 최대수직변위와의 관계는 역해석결과에서 지표면 최대수직변위가 최대수평변위의 80%이하로 나타났으며, Caspe방법에 의한 지표면 최대수직변위는 최대수평변위의 150~280%의 범위로 나타나 역해석결과보다는 매우 큰 값을 나타내 Caspe방법이 매우 보수적임을 확인하였다.

This study was performed to clarify the morphological structures of the epithelia of the renal papilla, renal pelvis and ureter of the sheep (Ovis aries L.) through the light and scanning electron microscopes, Tissue specimens were taken from the renal papilla (common renal papilla and peripelvic column) and the renal pelvis (pelvis proper and pelvic pouch) of the kidney and the ureter. For the light microscopy, tissue blocks were fixed in 10 % neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin wax, serially sectioned at a thickness of $6{\mu}m$. These sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and periodic acid-Schiff reaction. For the scanning electron microscopy, tissue blocks were prefixed in 1% glutaral-dehyde-1.5% paraformaldehyde solution and postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide solution, dehydrated in graded alcohol, transferred to isoamyl acetate, and then dried by the critical point dryer (Polaron E 3000). These dried tissues were coated with gold and observed with a scanning electron microscope (JSM-35C), The results were as follows: The apex of the common renal papilla was lined with simple columnar epithelium having many microvilli on its luminal surface. Lateral portion of the papilla was lined with stratified epithelium $2{\sim}3$ layers thick, and its superficial cells were microvillar cells having many microvilli. The epithelium lining the peripelvic column was $1{\sim}2$ layers thick. The superficial layer was made of the microvillar cells, but a few microplica cells were appeared in the region near the pelvic pouch. The epithelium of the pelvic pouch was $1{\sim}2$ layered transitional type, and its superficial cells were microplica cells. The epithelia of the pelvis proper and ureter were $4{\sim}6$ layered transitional type, and their superficial cells were typical facet cells existing many round depressions and ridges of cell membranes of the luminal side.

Interest in eco-friendly materials with high efficiencies is increasing significantly as science and technology undergo a paradigm shift toward environment-friendly and sustainable development. MXenes, a class of two-dimensional inorganic compounds, are generally defined as transition metal carbides or nitrides composed of few-atoms-thick layers with functional groups. Recently MXenes, because of their desirable electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that emerge from conductive layered structures with tunable surface terminations, have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for energy storage applications (e.g., supercapacitors and electrode materials for Li-ion batteries), water purification, and gas sensors. In this review, we introduce MXenes and describe their properties and research trends by classifying them into two main categories: transition metal carbides and nitrides, including Ti-based MXenes, Mo-based MXenes, and Nb-based MXenes.
