Attempts have been made to define new classes of distributions that provide more flexibility for modelling skewed data in practice. In this work we define a new extension of the generalized gamma distribution (Stacy, The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 33, 1187-1192, 1962) for Marshall-Olkin generalized gamma (MOGG) distribution, based on the generator pioneered by Marshall and Olkin (Biometrika, 84, 641-652, 1997). This new lifetime model is very flexible including twenty one special models. The main advantage of the new family relies on the fact that practitioners will have a quite flexible distribution to fit real data from several fields, such as engineering, hydrology and survival analysis. Further, we also define a MOGG mixture model, a modification of the MOGG distribution for analyzing lifetime data in presence of cure fraction. This proposed model can be seen as a model of competing causes, where the parameter associated with the Marshall-Olkin distribution controls the activation mechanism of the latent risks (Cooner et al., Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 15, 307-324, 2006). The asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimation approach of the parameters of the model are evaluated by means of simulation studies. The proposed distribution is fitted to two real data sets, one arising from measuring the strength of fibers and the other on melanoma data.

In this study, to investigate the effect of physical and chemical properties of butanol on the engine performance and combustion characteristics, the coefficient of variations of IMEP (indicated mean effective pressure) and fuel conversion efficiency were obtained by measuring the combustion pressure and the fuel consumption quantity according to the engine load and the mixing ratio of diesel oil and butanol. In addition, the combustion pressure was analyzed to obtain the pressure increasing rate and heat release rate, and then the combustion temperature was calculated using a single zone combustion model. The experimental and analysis results of butanol blending oil were compared with the those of diesel oil under the similar operation conditions to determine the performance of the engine and combustion characteristics. As a result, the combustion stabilities of D.O. and butanol blending oil were good in this experimental range, and the indicated fuel conversion efficiency of butanol blending oil was slightly higher at low load but that of D.O. was higher above medium load. The premixed combustion period of D.O. was almost constant regardless of the load. As the load was lower and the butanol blending ratio was higher, the premixed combustion period of butanol blending oil was longer and the premixed combustion period was almost constant at high load regardless of butanol blending ratio. The average heat release rate was higher with increasing loads; especially as butanol blending ratio was increased at high load, the average heat release rate of butanol blending oil was higher than that of D.O. In addition, the calculated maximum. combustion temperature of butanol blending oil was higher than that of D.O. at all loads.

군집화는 객체들의 특성을 분석하여 유사한 성질을 갖고 있는 객체들을 동일한 집단으로 분류하는 방법이다. 전자 상거래 자료처럼 차원 수가 많고 누락 값이 많은 자료의 경우 입력 자료의 차원축약, 잡음제거를 목적으로 SVD를 사용하여 군집화를 수행하는 것이 효과적이지만, SVD를 통해 변환된 자료는 원래의 속성 정보를 상실하기 때문에 군집 결과분석에서 원본 속성의 가치 해석이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구는 군집화 수행 후 엔트로피 가중치 및 SVD를 이용하여 군집의 중요한 속성을 발견하기 위한 군집 특징 선택 기법 ENTROPY-SVD를 제안한다. ENTROPY-SVD는 자료의 속성들과 유사객체 군과의 묵시적인 은닉 구조를 활용하기 위하여 SVD를 이용하고 유사객체 군에 포함된 응집도가 높은 속성들을 발견하기 위하여 엔트로피 가중치를 사용한다. 또한 ENTROPY-SVD를 적용한 모델 기반의 협력적 여과기법의 추천 시스템 CFS-CF를 제안하고 그 효용성 및 효과를 평가한다.

The effects of alloying elements on the solidification characteristics, microstructure, thermal conductivity, and tensile strength of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys were investigated for the development of high strength and high thermal conductivity aluminium alloy for die casting. The amounts of Zn and Mg in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys had little effect on the liquidus/solidus temperature, the latent heat for solidification, the energy release for solidification and the fluidity of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys. Thermo-physical modelling of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys by the JMatPro program showed $MgZn_2$, AlCuMgZn and $Al_3Fe$ phases in the microstructure of the alloys. Increased amounts of Mg in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys resulted in phase transformation, such as $MgZn_2{\Rightarrow}MgZn_2+AlCuMgZn{\Rightarrow}AlCuMgZn$ in the microstructure of the alloys. Increased amounts of Zn and Mg in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys resulted in a gradual reduction of the thermal conductivity of the alloys. Increased amounts of Zn and Mg in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys had little effect on the tensile strength of the alloys.

본 연구는 BFS치환율 증가에 따른 고강도 콘크리트의 제반 공학적 특성을 검토하였는데, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 굳지않은 콘크리트의 유동성은 BFS 치환율이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 공기량은 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 AE제 사용량 증가로 적정량의 공기량 확보는 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 응결시간은 BFS 치환율이 증가할수록 비례적으로 크게 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 경화 콘크리트의 압축강도는 BFS의 잠재수경성 반응에 기인하여 BFS 치환율이 증가할수록 재령 28일 미만에서는 OPC에 비하여 저하하였으나, 그 이후 재령에서는 동등 이상의 수준을 발휘 하는 것으로 나타나 특히, 고강도 콘크리트의 활용에 탁월한 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 건조수축길이 변화율은 W/B가 클수록 수화반응시 콘크리트 내부에 존재하는 자유수의 양이 증가함에 기인하여 다소 크게 나타났고, BFS 치환율이 증가할수록 건조수축량은 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나, 모든 배합에서 $-500{\times}10^{-6}$이하로 비교적 양호하였다.

Background: Ice cooling vests can cause tissue damage and have no flexibility. Therefore, these two undesirable properties of ice cooling vest were optimized, and the present study was aimed to compare the impact of the optimized ice cooling vest and a commercial paraffin cooling vest on physiological and perceptual strain under controlled conditions. Methods: For optimizing, hydrogel was used to increase the flexibility and a layer of the ethylene vinyl acetate foam was placed into the inside layer of packs to prevent tissue damage. Then, 15 men with an optimized ice cooling vest, with a commercial paraffin cooling vest, and without a cooling vest performed tests including exercise on a treadmill (speed of 2.8 km/hr and slope of %0) under hot ($40^{\circ}C$) and dry (40 %) condition for 60 min. The physiological strain index and skin temperature were measured every 5 and 15 minutes, respectively. The heat strain score index and perceptual strain index were also assessed every 15 minutes. Results: The mean values of the physiological and perceptual indices differed significantly between exercise with and without cooling vests (P < 0.05). However, the difference of the mean values of the indices except the value of the skin temperature during the exercises with the commercial paraffin cooling vest and the optimized ice cooling vest was not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The optimized ice cooling vest was as effective as the commercial paraffin cooling vest to control the thermal strain. However, ice has a greater latent heat and less production cost.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase from Chromobacterium violaceum (CvPAH) is a monomeric enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine. It shares high amino acid identity and similar structure with a subunit of human phenylalanine hydroxylase that is a tetramer, resulting in the latent application in medications. In this study, semirational design was applied to CvPAH to improve the catalytic ability based on molecular dynamics simulation analyses. Four N-terminal truncated variants and one single point variant were constructed and characterized. The D267P variant showed a 2.1-fold increased thermal stability compared to the wild type, but lower specific activity was noted compared with the wild type. The specific activity of all truncated variants was a greater than 25% increase compared to the wild type, and these variants showed similar or slightly decreased thermostability with the exception of the $N-{\Delta}9$ variant. Notably, the $N-{\Delta}9$ variant exhibited a 1.2-fold increased specific activity, a 1.3-fold increased thermostability and considerably increased catalytic activity under the neutral environment compared with the wild type. These properties of the $N-{\Delta}9$ variant could advance medical and pharmaceutical applications of CvPAH. Our findings indicate that the N-terminus might modulate substrate binding, and are directives for further modification and functional research of PAH and other enzymes.

This study investigates mixtures of water and cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) to store high-grade cold energy. Although water is an ideal material for a cold thermal storage (CTS) due to its high specific heat, undesirable volume expansion may cause structural stresses during freezing. The volume expansion can be alleviated by adding the CPAs to water. However, the CPA aqueous solutions not only have different thermal properties but also transit to amorphous state different from pure water. Therefore, these characteristics should be considered when using them as material of the CTS. In experiments, glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are selected as the candidate CPA. The volume expansion of the solution is measured by an in-situ strain gauge in low temperature region. The specific heat capacity of the solution is also measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Both the amount of volume expansion and the specific heat capacity of the CPA aqueous solution decrease in the case of higher concentration of CPA. These characteristics should be contemplated to select optimal aqueous solution for CTS for liquid air energy storage system (LAES). The CPA solutions have advantages of having wide temperature range to utilize the latent heat of water and higher sensible heat of the CPA. The CPA solutions which can satisfy the allowable stress of the structure are determined. Consequently, among the CPA solutions investigated, DMSO 20% w/w solution is the most suitable for the CTS.

캡슐형 잠열재를 이용한 열저장 시스템은 바닥 난방 및 건물 난방에서 매우 효과적인 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템 개발에 필수적인 요소가 열유동 매체가 순환하는 파이프 주변의 캡슐내 온도 분포와 열유동 매체의 유량 등이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 3차원 비정상 상태에서 Navier-Stokes 방정식, 난류모델을 비롯한 스칼라 보존 방정식을 적용하여 캡슐 블록의 온도 분포 및 파이프 내의 유동장 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 본 연구와 같이 계산 영역이 특별한 기하학적 현상을 형상(circle+square)인 문제 해결하는데 적용할 수 있는 새로운 격자 생성 기술(MBFGE/CCM)을 개발하였다. 격자계는 파이프에서 원형 격자를 이용하였고, 캡슐 블록에서 사각 격자를 이용하여 다중격자와 미세격자를 결합하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치해석적 방법을 미세 캡슐을 이용한 축열보드에 적용하여 2종류의 열경계 상태에 대하여 속도와 온도분포를 계산하여 비교분석을 하는 것이다. 온도는 축열 보드의 한 쪽면은 대류면이고 다른 한쪽면은 단열면인 경우(Case 2)보다 양면 모두 단열인 경우(Case 1)일 때 더 높게 상승하였다. 온수 파이프 중심선인 Y=0 에 가까운 영역에서 Case 1과 Case 2사이에 축열 보드 내에서 온도 차이는 확연하게 나타났다. 향후 수치해석의 정확도를 높이고 축열 보드의 열전달 현상을 보다 정확히 계산하기 위해서는 위치 및 시간에 따른 정밀한 온도 측정값이 필요하고 특히 잠열재인 미세 캡슐이 상변화를 하므로 온도 변화에 따른 물질의 비열(C$_{p}$)과 열전달율(λ)을 고려한 방정식이 요구된다.

이방성 전도필름(ACF)의 경화방법을 개선하기 위하여 이미다졸계 경화제 대신에 저온에서도 경화가 빠른 열잠재성 양이온 개시제형 경화제를 사용한 에폭시 수지의 경화를 연구하였다. 경화특성의 분석을 위해 유리전이온도, 저장모듈러스, 열팽창계수를 포함한 열적기계적 특성을 조사하였으며 열사이클, 고온고습 신뢰성을 관찰하였다. 열잠재성 양이온 개시제형 경화제를 사용한 ACF가 이미다졸계 경화제를 사용한 경우보다 경화속도는 빨랐으며, 열팽창계수는 낮았고, $T_g$가 높아서 고온안정성도 우수하였다. 또 낮은 온도와 빠른 경화에도 불구하고 안정적인 접속 저항을 유지하여 높은 신뢰성을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 에폭시 경화방법은 ACF의 열적기계적 특성과 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다.
