Metallic shape memory alloys present fascinating physical properties such as their super-elastic behavior in austenite phase, which can be exploited for providing a structure with both a self-centering capability and an increased ductility. More or less accurate numerical models have been introduced to model their behavior along the last 25 years. This is the reason for which the literature is rich of suggestions/proposals on how to implement this material in devices for passive and semi-active control. Nevertheless, the thermo-mechanical coupling characterizing the first-order martensite phase transformation process results in several macroscopic features affecting the alloy performance. In particular, the effects of day-night and winter-summer temperature excursions require special attention. This aspect might imply that the deployment of some devices should be restricted to indoor solutions. A further aspect is the dependence of the behavior from the geometry one adopts. Two fundamental lacks of symmetry should also be carefully considered when implementing a SMA-based application: the behavior in tension is different from that in compression, and the heating is easy and fast whereas the cooling is not. This manuscript focuses on the passive devices recently proposed in the literature for civil engineering applications. Based on the challenges above identified, their actual feasibility is investigated in detail and their long term performance is discussed with reference to their fatigue life. A few available semi-active solutions are also considered.

Spontaneous combustion propensity of various coals of carbonization grade as a pulverized fuel of coal-fired power plant has been tested from an initial temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ by heating in an oven with air to analyze the self-oxidation starting temperature. These tests produce CPT (Cross Point Temperature), IT (Ignition temperature), and CPS (Cross Point Slope) calculated as the slope of time taken for a rapid exothermic oxidation reaction at CPT base. CPS shows a carbonization rank dependence whereby wood pellet has the highest propensity to spontaneous combustion of $20.995^{\circ}C/min$. A sub-bituminous KIDECO coal shows a CPS value of $15.370^{\circ}C/min$, whereas pet coke has the highest carbonization rank at $2.950^{\circ}C/min$. The nature of this trend is most likely attributable to a concentration of volatile matter and oxygen functional groups of coal surface that governs the available component for oxidation, as well as surface area of fuel char, and constant pressure molar heat.

Portable electronic devices secondary batteries can cause fire and explosion due to micro-current change in addition to the situation of short-circuit inrush current, safety can not be secured with a general operation limited current fuse. Therefore, in secondary battery, it is necessary for the protector to satisfy both the limit current type operation in the open-short-circuit inrush current and the current detection operation characteristic in the micro current change situation and for this operation, a fuse for the current detection type secondary battery protection circuit can be applied. The purpose of this study is to design a protection device that operates stably in the hazardous situation of small capacity secondary battery for portable electronic devices through the design of low melting fuse elements alloy of sensing type fuse and secures stability in abnormal current state. As a result of the experiment, I-T and V-T operation characteristics are satisfied in a the design of the alloy of the current sensing type self-contained low melting point fuse and the resistance of the heating resistor. It is confirmed that it can prevent accidents of short circuit over-current and micro current change of secondary battery.

Nuclear rings are sites of intense star formation at the center of barred spiral galaxies. A straightforward but unanswered question is what controls star formation rate (SFR) in nuclear rings. To understand how the ring SFR is related to mass inflow rate, gas content, and background gravitational field, we run a series of semi-global hydrodynamic simulations of nuclear rings, adopting the TIGRESS framework to handle radiative heating and cooling as well as star formation and supernova feedback. We find: 1) when the mass inflow rate is constant, star formation proceeds in a remarkably steady fashion, without showing any burst-quench behavior suggested in the literature; 2) the steady state SFR has a simple linear relationship with the inflow rate rather than the ring gas mass; 3) the midplane pressure balances the weight of the overlying gas and the SFR surface density is linearly correlated with the midplane pressure, consistent with the self-regulated star formation theory. We suggest that the ring SFR is controlled by the mass inflow rate in the first place, while the gas mass adjusts to the resulting feedback in the course of achieving the vertical dynamical equilibrium.

A solution combustion process for the synthesis of hollandite (BaAl₂Ti₆O₁₆) powders is described. SYNROC (synthetic rock) consists of four main titanate phases: perovskite, zirconolite, hollandite and rutile. Hollandite is one of the crystalline host matrices used for the disposal of high-level radioactive wastes because it immobilizes Sr and Lns elements by forming solid solutions. The solution combustion synthesis, which is a self-sustaining oxi-reduction reaction between a nitrate and organic fuel, generates an exothermic reaction and that heat converts the precursors into their corresponding oxide products in air. The process has high energy efficiency, fast heating rates, short reaction times, and high compositional homogeneity. To confirm the combustion synthesis reaction, FT-IR analysis was conducted using glycine with a carboxyl group and an amine as fuel to observe its bonding with metal element in the nitrate. TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM and EDS were performed to confirm the formed phases and morphology. Powders with an uncontrolled shape were obtained through a general oxide-route process, confirming hollandite powders with micro-sized soft agglomerates consisting of nano-sized primary particles can be prepared using these methods.

토양개량방법의 하나로서 다공성 소성 과립체를 토양에 사용하는 방법을 적용하고자 하였다. 석탄폐석을 토양개량제의 원료로 사용하면 자열소성방법에 의해 저비용으로 과립체를 생산할 수 있고, 더불어 국내에 대량으로 적치되어 있는 석탄폐석을 활용할 수 있는 방안도 될 것임을 착안하여, 석탄폐석을 분쇄, 과립하고 자열소성방법으로 소성하여 과립(pellet)을 제조한 후 이의 다공체로서의 특성과 수분보유특성, pH등을 확인하였다. 고정탄소량이 약 28%인 시료 HCR을 고령토와 1:4의 무게비(20%)로 혼합하여 제조한 과립과 고정탄소가 약 9.66%인 LCR시료만을 사용한 과립을 자열소성한 결과, 별도의 가열에너지의 공급 없이 최대온도 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 연속적인 소성이 가능하였다. 이렇게제조한 과립체를 고령토만 사용하여 제조한 일반 소성 점토과립과 비교하였을 때 평균공극의 크기가 커졌음이 확인되었다. 이렇게 변화된 공극의 특성으로 인해 HCR과 LCR 과립의 내부에 흡수된 수분이 kaolin 과립에 비해 더 낮은 potential에서 방출되었고, 식물이 더 이용하기 쉬운 상태로 수분이 보유됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 자열소성한 과립은 kaolin 과립에 비해 높은 포장용수량과 유효수분의 값을 나타내었다. 포장용수량은 HCR과 LCR 과립이 각각 47.64, 38.43mL/100g값을 나타내었고, 유효수분의 양은 각각 38.39과 28.49mL/100g으로 나타났다. 자열소성한 과립의 pH는 6~8로서 토양에 활용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study aimed at evaluating current sanitation management performances in Korean-Food restaurants by their operation types and to develop sanitary training posters based on the risk factors, in an attempt to improve the level of sanitation management in Korean food service facilities. Eighteen Korean-food restaurants that are managed by franchisor, franchisees as well as self-managed with large-scale and small-scale restaurants in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do, were evaluated by on-the-spot inspectors with an auditing tool consisting of three dimensions, nine categories and thirty four items. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The total score of each group showed that restaurants managed by franchisees ranked the highest (59 out of 100 points), while self-managed, small-scale restaurants ranked the lowest (44 out of 100 points). In the categorization of sanitation management compliance, the dimensions of food hygiene during production recorded the lowest compliance rate of 47.7% (22.89/48.0 points) followed by the dimension of environmental hygiene 59.3% (20.17/34.0 points) and personal hygiene 60.5% (10.89/18.0 points). This indicated the need for urgent improvement. The items which showed the lowest compliance rates were 'proper thawing of frozen foods' (0%), 'notifying and observing heating/reheating temperature' (6%), 'using of hand-washing facility and proper hand-washing' (33%), 'monitoring temperature of frozen-foods and cold-foods' (35%), and 'prevention of cross-contamination' (36%) among thirty four items. Self-managed, small-scale restaurants, in particular, needed to improve sanitary practices such as 'sanitation education for employee', 'verifying the employee health inspection reports', 'storing food on the shelves 15 cm distance away from the wall', 'suitability of ventilation capacity of hoods' and 'cleanliness of drainage'. On the basis of the findings of this study, we developed sanitary training posters, especially for small-scale restaurant operators. This could be an effective tool to educate food service employees on sanitary knowledge and principles and could be used to improve the existing sanitary conditions in Korean food service facilities.

본 논문에서는 소스와 드레인의 구조가 육각형인 FinFET에서 구조 변수 및 핀/핑거 개수 증가에 따른 열 저항 모델을 제안한다. 소자의 크기가 감소하여 발열 효과 및 열 특성의 영향이 커졌으며, 이를 분석하기 위해 소자의 열 저항은 중요한 요소이다. 열 저항 모델은 소자에서 열이 생성되는 열원과 열이 빠져나가는 contact를 설정했으며, 도메인은 열원과 4 부분의 소스, 드레인, 게이트, 서브스트레이트 contact를 통해 나누어진다. 또 각각의 contact 열 저항 모델은 TCAD의 시뮬레이션 결과의 온도 및 열 흐름을 분석하여 해석이 용이한 형태로 세분화하였다. 도메인들은 그 구조에 따라 구조 변수를 통한 적분 및 등각 매핑 방식을 기반으로 모델링하였다. 먼저 싱글 핀으로 열 저항을 분석하여 모델링하였으며, 멀티 핀/핑거의 열 저항 모델의 정확도를 높이기 위해 채널증가에 따른 파라미터의 변화를 적용하였다. 제안한 열 저항 모델은 3D Technology CAD 시뮬레이션을 해석하여 얻은 열 저항 결과와 비교하였으며, 싱글 핀 및 멀티 핀의 전체 열 저항 모델은 3 % 이하의 오차를 얻었다. 제안한 열 저항은 핀/핑거 개수의 증가에 따른 열 저항을 예측할 수 있으며, 발열효과 및 열 특성 분석을 계산하여 회로 특성을 개선할 수 있다.

방전 플라즈마 소결법을 이용하여 건전한 강도를 갖는 다공성 육티탄산 칼륨 휘스커 프리폼을 제조하기 위해서, 여러 소결온도 조건하에서 휘스커 프리폼을 제조한 후 기공률과 압축강도 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 소결 온도 900∼950${\circ}C$, 유지시간 10분, 압축하중 40 MPa, 승온속도 50${\circ}C$/min, on-off pulse type 12:2의 조건에서 높은 기공률을 갖는 프리폼을 제조할 수 있었다. 이상의 최적조건에서 제조한 프리폼은 기공률이 15∼37% 범위임에도 불구하고 174∼266 MPa의 비교적 높은 압축강도를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 강도의 향상은 휘스커간의 스파크 플라즈마 방전 및 자기 발열작용의 영향에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 900${\circ}C$ 이하에서 제조한 휘스커 프리폼의 강도 레벨은 80∼100MPa로 900∼950${\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 제조한 프리폼에 비해 2배 이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 1000 ${\circ}C$에서의 압축강도는 523 MPa로 가장 높은 강도값을 나타내었으나, 약 5%의 낮은 기공률을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터, 비교적 강도가 높고 다공성의 티탄산 칼륨 휘스커를 제조하는데 있어 방전 플라즈마 소결법이 효과적인 것으로 생각된다.
