In this study, an application of Finite Element Method which, in principle, based on variational calculus has been presented for the two-dimensional analysis of magnetic flux distribution in the shell type core of single phase transformer. The necessary stationarity condition of energy functional and boundary conditions were determined under the assumptions that the electromagnetic field considered is stationary and that the effect of eddy current is negligible. In the process of application the domain of magnetic field was divided into triangle subsectional elements and then the matrix equations were constructed for the respective triangular element and for those of all after the manipulation of minimization process to the vector potential of magnetic field at the each vertex of the element. Furthermore the numerical computation for the equations was guided by the Gaussian Elimination Methods. As the results obtained, it is found that the aspect of magnetic flux distribution inside the core as well as the leakage flux profile at the vicinity of the inner leg of the core is not much different from the well-known distribution profile of magnetic flux, however, the procedure shows to possess the merit of the uniquely deterministic nature for the flux distribution at the desired points.

Hydrogen release during severe accidents poses a serious threat to containment integrity. Mitigating procedures are necessary to prevent global or local explosions, especially in large steel shell containments. The management of hydrogen safety and prevention of over-pressurization could be implemented through a hydrogen reduction system and spray system. During the course of the hypothetical large break loss-of-coolant accident in a nuclear power plant, hydrogen is generated by a reaction between steam and the fuel-cladding inside the reactor pressure vessel and also core concrete interaction after ejection of melt into the cavity. The MELCOR 1.8.6 was used to assess core degradation and containment behavior during the large break loss-of-coolant accident without the actuation of the safety injection system except for accumulators in Beznau nuclear power plant. Also, hydrogen distribution in containment and performance of hydrogen reduction system were investigated.

Extrinsic connections between the cortex of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and the ventral striatum in pigtail macaque monkeys (Macacca nemestrina) were studied by injection of retrograde tracers into the ventromedial caudate nucleus, the ventral and central shells of the nucleus accumbens (NA), the dorsal core of the NA, and the ventrolateral putamen. In the present study, we demonstrate that the projections from the unimodal (area TAa, IPa, TEa, and TEm) and the multimodal (area TPO and PGa) sensory association areas in the STS mainly terminate in the ventromedial caudate nucleus as well as in the ventral and central shells of the NA. However, there are only few projections to the dorsal core of the NA and the ventrolateral putamen from the sensory association cortex in the STS. Based on these differential neural connections between the subterritories of the ventral striatum and the sensory association areas, the ventromedial caudate nucleus and the shells of NA appear to be major integration sites for sensory input from the STS and functionally different from the dorsal core of NA and the ventrolateral putamen.

In this study, we synthesized and identified microcapsule containing isocyanate, and investigated the mechanical and adhesion properties of polyurethane resin by adding microcapsule. We found out that the core material of microcapsule and the component weight fraction of microcapsule from the FT-IR and TGA analysis. From the results of adhesion and mechanical property tests, we confirmed that in case of using microcapsule for adhesive resin composition, adhesion strength, tensile strength and abrasion were improved by cross-linking reaction between urethane and IPDI in microcapsule.

This paper presents conceptual design and 3-D electromagnetic analysis of IMVA transformer with BSCCO-2223 High Tc Superconducting (HTS) tapes. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV, and double pancake windings were adopted. High voltage and Low voltage sides were composed of several double pancake windings. Four HTS tapes were wound in parallel for the windings of low voltage side and were transposed in order to distribute the currents equally in each conductor The transformer core was designed as a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plates and the core is separated with the windings by a cryostat with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics(FRP). A sub-cooling system using L$N_2$ were designed to maintain the coolant temperature 65K. Finally perpendicular components of magnetic field applied to tapes were calculated 0.247 in the rated operation using 3-D analysis. A real 1MVA HTS transformer will be manufactured in near future based on the design parameters presented in this paper.

Dry water is a core-shell structured powder which comprises a very fine water core covered with hydrophobic silica particles. Recently, the dry water has attracted attention as a new type of fire extinguishing agents. However, characteristics of the dry water as a fire extinguishing agent have not been revealed until now. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to uncover effects of particle size of the dry water on the fire extinguishing performance. Pristine dry water, which has heterogeneous particle size distribution, was carefully separated by sieving method into three fractions which were a small size (ca. $110{\mu}m$) fraction, a medium size (ca. $220{\mu}m$) fraction and a large size (ca. $400{\mu}m$) fraction. Microscopic observations confirmed the effective separation of dry water's particle size. In extinguishing tests of wood cribs fire, the medium size dry water showed most excellent fire extinguishing performance, as compared to other dry waters having small (ca. $110{\mu}m$) and large (ca. $400{\mu}m$) particle size. The good performance of the medium size (ca. $220{\mu}m$) dry water may be attributed to the balance between cooling effect of the water core and smothering effect of the silica particles. It is also revealed that small size dry water has poor flowability than large size dry water.

반도체 저차원 구조에서의 독특한 광학적, 전기적 특성이 연구됨에 따라 양자점, 양자선, 양자우물과 같은 공간적으로 구속되어 있는 나노구조 형성에 관한 제작 방법과 그 특성 연구가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 Si 또는 GaAs 반도체와 달리 광소자로써 각광받고 있는 질화물 반도체의 경우, 높은 화학적, 물리적 안정성으로 인해, 화학적 에칭에 의한 나노구조 형성이 쉽지 않고, 물리적 에칭의 경우, 표면 결함이 많이 발생되는 문제점이 있어 어려움을 겪고 있다. 최근 본 연구그룹에서는 자체 개발한 고온 HCl 가스를 이용한 화학적 기상 에칭법을 이용하여, 다양한 크기, 모양의 나노구조 형성 및 이를 이용한 다양한 타입의 InGaN 나노구조 제작 및 특성에 대해 연구하였다 (Figure 1). 화학적 기상 에칭법을 이용한 나노구조의 경우, 선택적인 결함구조 제거 및 이종기판 사용에 따른 응력 감소, 광추출 효율을 증가시켜, 우수한 구조적, 광학적 특성을 보여주었고, 에칭 조건에 따른, 피라미드, 막대와 같은 다양한 나노구조를 제작하였다. 뿐만 아니라 이를 기반으로 한 다양한 InGaN 나노구조를 모델을 제시하였는데, 첫번째는 GaN 나노막대 기판 위에 형성된 고품위InGaN 양자우물구조 성장이고, 두 번째는 InGaN 양자우물을 포함하고 있는 나노막대 구조 제작, 세번째는 InGaN/GaN core/shell 구조이다 (Figure 2). 이러한 InGaN 나노구조의 경우 높은 광결정성 및 크게 감소한 내부 전기장 효과, 광방출에 유리한 구조에 기인한 우수한 광특성을 보여주고 있어 광소자로써 응용가능성이 크고, InGaN/GaN core/shell 나노구조의 경우, 나노구조 내부에 단일 InGaN양자점이 형성되어 높은 광추출효율의 양자광소자로써 활용가능성을 보여주었다.

We employed an unprecedented technique to synthesize porous $WO_3@SnO_2$ nanofibers exhibiting core-shell and fiber-in-tube configurations. Firstly, 2-methylimidazole was uniformly incorporated in as-spun nanofibers containing ammonium metatungstate hydrate and the sacrificial polymer (polyacrylonitrile). Secondly, the 2-methylimidazole on the surfaces of nanofibers was complexed with tin(II) chloride ($SnCl_2$) via simple impregnation of the as-spun nanofibers in ethanol containing tin(II) chloride dihydrate ($SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$). The presence of vacant p-orbitals in tin (Sn) and the nucleophilic nitrogen on the imidazole ring allowed for the reaction between $SnCl_2$ and 2-methylimidazole, forming adducts on the surfaces of the as-spun nanofibers. The calcination of these nanofibers resulted in porous $WO_3@SnO_2$ nanofibers with a higher surface area ($55.3m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$) and a better response to 1-5 ppm of acetone than pristine $SnO_2$ NFs synthesized using a similar method. An improved response to acetone was achieved upon functionalization of the $WO_3@SnO_2$ nanofibers with catalytic palladium nanoparticles. This work demonstrates the potential application of $WO_3@SnO_2$ nanofibers as sensing layers for chemiresistive sensory devices for the detection of acetone in exhaled breath.

Pt has been widely used as catalyst for fuel cell and exhausted gas clean systems due to its high catalytic activity. Recently, there have been researches on fabricating composite materials of Pt as a method of reducing the amount of Pt due to its high price. One of the approaches for saving Pt used as catalyst is a core shell structure consisting of Pt layer on the core of the non-noble metal. In this study, the synthesis of Pt shell was conducted on the surface of $TiO_2$ particle, a non-noble material, by applying ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Anatase $TiO_2$ particles with the average size of 20~30 nm were immersed in the ethanol dissolved with Pt precursor of $H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}6H_2O$ and exposed to UV irradiation with the wavelength of 365 nm. It was confirmed that Pt nano-particles were formed on the surface of $TiO_2$ particles by photochemical reduction of Pt ion from the solution. The morphology of the synthesized Pt@$TiO_2$ nano-composite was examined by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy).
