It is essential to evaluate the blasting-enhanced permeability (BEP) feasibility of a low-permeability sandstone-type uranium deposit. In this work, the mineral composition, reservoir physical properties and rock mechanical properties of samples from sandstone-type uranium deposits were first measured. Then, the reformability evaluation method was established by the analytic hierarchy process-entropy weight method (AHP-EWM) and the fuzzy mathematics method. Finally, evaluation results were verified by the split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment and permeability test. Results show that medium sandstone, argillaceous sandstone and siltstone exhibit excellent reformability, followed by coarse sandstone and fine sandstone, while the reformability of sandy mudstone is poor and is not able to accept BEP reservoir stimulation. The permeability improvement and the distribution of damage fractures before and after the SHPB experiment confirm the correctness of evaluation results. This research provides a reformability evaluation method for the BEP of the low-permeability sandstone-type uranium deposit, which contributes to the selection of the appropriate regional and stratigraphic horizon of the BEP and the enhanced ISL of the low-permeability sandstone-type uranium deposit.

Water, which is most abundant in Earth surface and very closely related to all forms of living organisms, has a simple molecular structure but exhibits very unique physical and chemical properties. Even though tremendous effort has been paid to understand this nature's core substance, there amazingly still lefts much room for scientist to explore its novel behaviors. Especially, as the scale goes down to nano-regime, water shows extraordinary properties that are not observable in bulk state. One of such interesting features is the formation of nanoscale bubbles showing unusual long-term stability. Nanobubbles can be spontaneously formed in water on hydrophobic surface or by decompression of gas-saturated liquid. In addition, the nanobubbles can be generated during electrochemical reaction at normal hydrogen electrode (NHE), which possibly distorts the standard reduction potential at NHE as the surface nanobubble screens the reaction with electrolyte solution. However, the real-time evolution of these nanobubbles has been hardly studied owing to the lack of proper imaging tools in liquid phase at nanoscale. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, that the behaviors of nanobubbles can be visualized by in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM), utilizing graphene as liquid cell membrane. The results indicate that there is a critical radius that determines the long-term stability of nanobubbles. In addition, we find two different pathways of nanobubble growth: i) Ostwald ripening of large and small nanobubbles and ii) coalescence of similar-sized nanobubbles. We also observe that the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles and the self-assembly of biomolecules are catalyzed at the nanobubble interface. Our finding is expected to provide a deeper insight to understand unusual chemical, biological and environmental phenomena where nanoscale gas-state is involved.

Metal thin films are used widely to solve the vibration problem. However, damping mechanism is still not clear, which limits the further improvement of the damping properties for film and the development of multi-functional damping coating. In this paper, Damping microscopic mechanism of porous metal films was investigated at both macroscopically and microscopically mixed levels. Molecular dynamics simulation method was used to model and simulate the loading-unloading numerical experiment on the micro-pore and vacancy model to get the stress-strain curve and the microstructure diagram of different defects. And damping factor was calculated by the stress-strain curve. The results show that dislocations and new vacancies appear in the micro-pores when metal film is stretched. The energetic consumption from the motion of dislocation is the main reason for the damping properties of materials. Micro-mechanism of damping properties is discussed with the results of in-situ experiment.

아크릴로니트릴-부타디엔 고무에 디메틸아크릴산 아연을 적용하여 탄성나노복합체를 제조하였고, 디메틸아크릴산 아연의 첨가방법 및 함량에 따른 가교구조, 기계적 물성, 파단면 형태를 조사하였다. 디메틸아크릴산 아연의 함량증가에 따라 이온가교결합의 증가에 기인하여 총 가교밀도는 증가하였다. 인장강도와 인열강도는 디메틸아크릴산 아연 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하여 최대치를 보인 후 하락하는 경향을 보였다. 디메틸아크릴산 아연 첨가방법에 따라 인열강도와 균열저항성은 크게 영향을 받았다. 즉, 용융혼합과정에서 실시간으로 산화 아연과 메타아크릴산을 반응시켜 디메틸아크릴산 아연을 형성시키는 나노복합체가 디메틸아크릴산 아연 분말을 직접 첨가하는 복합체에 비해 월등히 높은 인열강도와 균열저항성을 보였다. 이는 실시간 나노복합체가 분말첨가 복합체보다 디메틸아크릴산 아연 입자크기가 더 작고 균일하게 분산되기 때문에 기인된 것으로 나타났다.

Gravity tilt pour casting can effectively guarantee the reduction of various casting defects by controlling the rotation speed and the tilting angle of the mold during tilt pouring. The relationship between casting process parameters and the soundness of castings has been investigated in order to determine the optimum process variables in the gravity tilt pour casting process. In order to evaluate the effect of rotation speed on mold filling patterns, a video camera was employed to visualize the in-situ fluid flow behavior of the molten metal, and the relevant fluid velocity was also estimated. X-ray and mechanical tests were also performed to evaluate the effect of fluid velocity on casting quality. With the rotation speed lower than 0.5 r.p.m., which is nearly corresponding to the critical velocity of stability in the fluid flow, sound castings were obtained without having any casting defects. It can be concluded that the gravity tilt pour casting process is an effective process for manufacturing sound casting products with enhanced physical and mechanical properties.

An optical sensing approach based on diffuse reflectance has shown potential for rapid and reliable on-site estimation of soil properties. Important sensing ranges and the resulting regression models useful for soil property estimation have been reported. In this study, a similar approach was applied to investigate the potential of reflectance sensing in estimating soil properties for Korean paddy fields. Soil cores up to a 65-cm depth were collected from 42 paddy fields representing 14 distinct soil series that account for 74% of the total Korean paddy field area. These were analyzed in the laboratory for several important physical and chemical properties. Using air-dried, sieved soil samples, reflectance data were obtained from 350 to 2500 nm on a 3 nm sampling interval with a laboratory spectrometer. Calibrations were developed using partial least squares (PLS) regression, and wavelength bands important for estimating the measured soil properties were identified. PLS regression provided good estimations of Mg ($R^2$ = 0.80), Ca ($R^2$ = 0.77), and total C ($R^2$ = 0.92); fair estimations of pH, EC, $P_2O_5$, K, Na, sand, silt, and clay ($R^2$ = 0.59 to 0.72); and poor estimation of total N. Many wavelengths selected for estimation of the soil properties were identical or similar for multiple soil properties. More important wavelengths were selected in the visible-short NIR range (350-1000 nm) and the long NIR range (1800-2500 nm) than in the intermediate NIR range (1000-1800 nm). These results will be useful for design and application of in-situ close range sensors for paddy field soil properties.

본 연구는 구획경계선(區劃境界線)이 토양물리성(土壤物理性)의 공간변이(空間變異)에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 10년전 구획정리(區劃整理)로 논을 전전환(田轉換)한 맥류연구소(麥類硏究所)의 시험포지 화동(華東)미사질식양토(Fine clayey, mixed, mesic family of Aquic Hapludalfs)를 공시토양으로 하여 필지경계선(筆地境界線)을 횡단(橫斷)하여 토양물리성(土壤物理性)을 조사하고 조사성적을 고여(古與) 통계학적(統計學的) 방법(方法)과 지질(地質) 통계학적(統計學的) 방법(方法)으로 공간변이성을 해석하였다. 토양입경분포(土壤粒徑分布)는 10m 간격으로 $15{\times}15$ Grid의 교차 225 지점에서 채취한 토양시료를 이용하였고 포장용수량(圃場容水量), 전용적밀도(全容積密度), 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)등에 대한 물리성은 조사대상면적의 일부분에 대하여 2.5m 간격으로 $18{\times}33$ Grid의 교차지점중 594지점에서 포장조사법으로 직접 측정하였다. 시험 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 토양물리성(土壤物理性)의 변이계수(變異係數)는 4.8%에서 128.8%범위였다. 변이계수(變異係數)는 크기로 보아 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 고변이군(高變異群)으로 분류되었고, 전용적밀도(全容積密度)는 저변이군(低變異群) 그리고 기타 다른 물리성은 중변이군(中變異群)으로 분류할 수 있다. 2. 측정된 값의 평균치로부터 신뢰수준 95%에서 허용오차 10%이내의 정확성을 나타낼 수 있는 시료수는 포장용수량(圃場容水量)이 1개로 가장 적었고 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 687개로 가장 많은 시료수가 요구되었다. 기타 다른 물리성(物理性)은 6-69개의 범위를 나타내었다. 3. 도수분포곡선(度數分布曲線)과 Fractile diagram의 분석 결과 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 대수변환시(對數變換時) 정규분포성(正規分布性)을, 기타 다른 물리성은 실측치(實測値)가 정규분포성을 보였다. 도수분포곡선(度數分布曲線)상에서 평균치(平均値), 중앙치(中央値) 및 최빈치(最頻値)가 차이를 나타내는 특성의 산술평균(算術平均)은 곡선상의 평균에 비해 오차를 유발할 가능성이 컸다. 4. 계열상관(系列相關) 분석(分析)에 의하면 토양물리성(土壤物理性)은 모두 유의성 있는 종속성(從屬性)이 인정되었다. 자기상관(自己相關) 분석(分析) 결과(結果)는 남북방향으로 정상성(定常性)을 가지며 7.5~40m의 영향권(影響圈)을 보였고 토양 깊이간에도 차이가 있었다. 특히 토양의 깊이 50~60cm에서 대부분의 물리성이 비정상성(非定常性)을 보였다. 동서방향으로는 30㎝의 주기성(週期性)을 보이는 것이 특징적이며 구획폭(區劃幅)과 일치하여 구획에 따른 영농관리가 토양의 공간변이성(空間變異性)을 유발하는 원인들중 하나로 생각되었다.
