An experimental study is conducted to investigate the effects of duct corrugation angle on heat/mass transfer characteristics in wavy ducts of a primary surface heat exchanger application. Local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the wavy duct sidewalls are determined by using a naphthalene sublimation technique. The corrugation angles(${\alpha}$) of the wavy ducts are 145$^{\circ}$, 130$^{\circ}$, 115$^{\circ}$ and 100$^{\circ}$. And the Reynolds numbers based on the duct hydraulic diameter vary from 300 to 3,000. The results show that at the low Re(Re $\leq$1000), the secondary vortices called Taylor-Gortler vortices perpendicular to the main flow direction are generated due to effect of duct curvature. By these secondary vortices, high heat/mass transfer regions are formed on both pressure-side and suction-side walls. At the high Re(Re $\geq$ 1000), these secondary flows are vanished with helping flow transition to turbulent flow and the regions which show high heat/mass coefficients by flow reattachment are formed on suction side. As corrugation angle decreases, the local peak Sh induced by Taylor-Gortler vortices increase at Re $\leq$1000. At high Re(Re $\geq$ 1000), by the existence of different kind of secondary flows called Dean vortices, non-uniform Sh distribution appears along spanwise direction at the narrow corrugation angle (${\alpha}$=100$^{\circ}$). Average Sh also increase by the enhanced effect of secondary vortices and flow reattachment. More pumping power (pressure loss) is required with the smaller corrugation angle due to the enhancement of flow instability.

The concrete gravity dam is one of the most important parts of the nation's infrastructure. Besides the benefits, the dam also has some potentially catastrophic disasters related to the life of citizens directly. During the lifetime of service, some degradations in a dam may occur as consequences of operating conditions, environmental aspects and deterioration in materials from natural causes, especially from dynamic loads. Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) plays a key role to assess the operational condition of a structure under seismic hazard. In previous researches, CAV is normally used in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) fields, but there are no particular criteria or studies that have been made on dam structure. This paper presents a method to calculate the limitation of CAV for the Bohyeonsan Dam in Korea, where the critical Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is estimated from twelve sets of selected earthquakes based on High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF). HCLPF point denotes 5% damage probability with 95% confidence level in the fragility curve, and the corresponding PGA expresses the crucial acceleration of this dam. For determining the status of the dam, a 2D finite element model is simulated by ABAQUS. At first, the dam's parameters are optimized by the Minitab tool using the method of Central Composite Design (CCD) for increasing model reliability. Then the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used for updating the model and the optimization is implemented from the selected model parameters. Finally, the recorded response of the concrete gravity dam is compared against the results obtained from solving the numerical model for identifying the physical condition of the structure.

With the assistance of typhoon field data at aerial elevation level observed by meteorological satellites and wind velocity and direction records nearby the ground gathered in Guangzhou Weather Station between 1985 and 2001, some key wind field parameters under typhoon climate in Guangzhou region were calibrated based on Monte-Carlo stochastic algorithm and Meng's typhoon numerical model. By using Peak Over Threshold method (POT) and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD), Wind field characteristics during typhoons for various return periods in several typical engineering fields were predicted, showing that some distribution rules in relation to gradient height of atmosphere boundary layer, power-law component of wind profile, gust factor and extreme wind velocity at 1-3s time interval are obviously different from corresponding items in Chinese wind load Codes. In order to evaluate the influence of typhoon field parameters on long-span flexible bridges, 1:100 reduced-scale wind field of type B terrain was reillustrated under typhoon and normal conditions utilizing passive turbulence generators in TJ-3 wind tunnel, and wind-induced performance tests of aero-elastic model of long-span Guangzhou Xinguang arch bridge were carried out as well. Furthermore, aerodynamic admittance function about lattice cross section in mid-span arch lib under the condition of higher turbulence intensity of typhoon field was identified via using high-frequency force-measured balance. Based on identified aerodynamic admittance expressions, Wind-induced stochastic vibration of Xinguang arch bridge under typhoon and normal climates was calculated and compared, considering structural geometrical non-linearity, stochastic wind attack angle effects, etc. Thus, the aerodynamic response characteristics under typhoon and normal conditions can be illustrated and checked, which are of satisfactory response results for different oncoming wind velocities with resemblance to those wind tunnel testing data under the two types of climate modes.

Local wall thinning in pipelines affects the structural integrity of industries, such as nuclear power plants (NPPs). In the present study, a development of pulsed eddy current (PEC) technology that detects the wall thinning of pipelines covered with insulation is reviewed. The methods and experimental results, which have two kinds of probe with a single and double core, were compared. For this purpose, the single and double core probes having one and two excitation coils have been devised, and the differential probe with two Hall sensors has been fabricated to measure the wall thinning in insulated pipelines. The test sample is a stainless steel having different thickness, laminated by plastic insulation to simulate the pipelines in NPPs. The excitation coils in the probe is driven by a rectangular current pulse, the difference of two Hall sensors has been measured as a resultant PEC signal. The peak value of the detected signal is used to describe the wall thinning. The double core probe has better performance to detect the wall thinning covered with insulation; the single core probe can detect the wall thinning up to an insulation thickness of 18 mm, whereas the double probe can detect up to 25 mm. The results show that the double core PEC probe has the potential to detect the wall thinning in an insulated pipeline of the NPPs.

결합형 모드록킹 극초단 색소레이저의 공진기 길이변화에 따른 펄스폭의 변화를 선형 자체상관기를 이용하여 연구하였다. 색소레이저의 공진기 길이가 여기레이저의 공진기 길이와 일치하였을 경우 펄스폭은 0.64ps이며 완벽하게 모드록킹 되었다. 그러나 최적조건보다 색소레이저 공진기 길이가 긴 경우나 짧은 경우에는 펄스폭은 넓어지며 불완전 모드록킹이 되었다. 즉 색소레이저의 공진기 길이가 여기레이저의 공진기 길이보다 길 경우는 자연방출에 의한 noise 때문에 broad base 가 형성되며, 색소 이득이 증가되기 때문에 자체 상관함수의 첨두출력은 최적조건에서의 색소레이저 공진기 길이보다 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 긴 조건에서 최대가 되었다. 또 색소레이저의 스펙트럼은 자연방출에 의한 형광 및 색소 이득이 증가되기 때문에 넓게 됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 색소레이저의 공진기 길이가 여기 레이저의 공진기 길이보다 짧은 경우에는, 색소 이득이 적게 됨으로 자체 상관함수의 첨두출력도 약하게 되며 스펙트럼의 전반치폭은 좁게 되었다. 한편 최적조건을 벗어나면 스펙트럼의 중심파장이 이동되는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다.

PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) was applied to modify the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloy in this study. The mixed solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃) was used as the electrolyte, and 0 - 0.05 g/L of Ca-GP (Glycerol Phosphate Calcium salt) was added in the electrolyte as an additive. PEO treatment was conducted at a current density of 30mA/cm² for 5 minutes using a DC power supply. The surface properties were identified by SEM, XRD and surface roughness analyses, and the corrosion resistance was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests. In addition, the biocompatibility was evaluated by immersion test in SBF solution. As the concentration of Ca-GP was increased, the surface morphology was denser and more uniform, and the amount of Ca and the thickness of oxide layer increased. Only Mg peak was observed in XRD analysis due to very thin oxide layer. The corrosion resistance of PEO-treated samples increased with the concentration of Ca-GP in comparision with the untreated sample. In particular, the highest corrosion resistance was identified at the group of 0.04g Ca-GP through potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests in saline solution (0.9 wt.%NaCl). During the immersion in saline solution, pH rapidly increased at the beginning of immersion period due to rapid corrosion, and then increase rate of pH decreased. However, the pH value in the SBF temporarily increased from 7.4 to 8.5 during the day, then decreased due to the inhibition of corrosion with HA(hydroxyapatite) formation.

본 논문에서는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 기능을 갖는 열에너지 하베스팅을 위한 DC-DC컨버터를 설계하였다. 설계된 회로는 열전소자로부터 수확된 낮은 전압을 변환하여 부하에 승압된 전압을 공급한다. 시동회로는 제어기가 동작할 수 있는 VDD를 공급하고 결과적으로 Main 부스트 변환기의 파워스위치를 ON/OFF하게 되며, 스위칭 동작을 통해 부하에 승압된 전압을 공급한다. Bulk-driven 비교기를 이용하여 낮은 전압에서도 비교동작을 가능하게 하였고, 이를 이용하여 시스템 효율을 높이고, 전압안정화 동작을 하게 된다. 최대 효율은 76%이다. 제안된 회로는 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었으며, 모의실험을 통하여 동작을 검증하였다. 설계된 회로의 칩 면적은 $933um{\times}769um$이다.

OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)은 다중경로 페이딩에 강하고 고속전송이 가능하다는 장점으로 널리 사용되고 있는 디지털 통신방식이나, 여러 부반송파 변조신호가 동위상으로 겹쳐지면서 송신신호의 PAPR (peak to average power ratio)이 높아진다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 송신단의 IFFT (inverse fast Fourier transform) 이전에 주파수 영역에서 높은 크기의 임펄스를 삽입하면, 쌍대성 특성으로 인해 시간영역의 OFDM 신호의 PAPR 감소 효과를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CQAM (cross quadrature amplitude modulation) 방식을 채용하는 OFDM 통신시스템에서 송신단의 IFFT 이전에 임펄스를 삽입함으로서 개선되는 PAPR 성능을 분석한다. 또한 PAPR을 최소화시킬 수 있는 최적의 임펄스 삽입위치 찾아내고 이를 적용하였을 경우의 PAPR 개선효과를 검증한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수영역에서 삽입되는 임펄스 크기와 위치에 따라 OFDM-CQAM 시스템의 PAPR 개선효과가 기존 방식에 비해 우수함을 확인한다.

Background: The diagnosis of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a pragmatic decision based on the degree of hypoxia at the time of onset. We aimed to determine whether reclassification using oxygenation metrics 24 hours after diagnosis could provide prognostic ability for outcomes in PARDS. Methods: Two hundred and eighty-eight pediatric patients admitted between January 1, 2010 and January 30, 2017, who met the inclusion criteria for PARDS were retrospectively analyzed. Reclassification based on data measured 24 hours after diagnosis was compared with the initial classification, and changes in pressure parameters and oxygenation were investigated for their prognostic value with respect to mortality. Results: PARDS severity varied widely in the first 24 hours; 52.4% of patients showed an improvement, 35.4% showed no change, and 12.2% either showed progression of PARDS or died. Multivariate analysis revealed that mortality risk significantly increased for the severe group, based on classification using metrics collected 24 hours after diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio, 26.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.43 to 209.89; P=0.002). Compared to changes in pressure variables (peak inspiratory pressure and driving pressure), changes in oxygenation (arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen) over the first 24 hours showed statistically better discriminative power for mortality (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.701; 95% CI, 0.636 to 0.766; P<0.001). Conclusions: Implementation of reclassification based on oxygenation metrics 24 hours after diagnosis effectively stratified outcomes in PARDS. Progress within the first 24 hours was significantly associated with outcomes in PARDS, and oxygenation response was the most discernable surrogate metric for mortality.
