We investigated the temperature and magnetic field dependent optical properties of a$ MgB_2$ thin film in the far-infrared region. In the superconducting state, i.e. 5 K, we obtained the values of superconducting gap $2\Delta$ ~ 5.2 meV and $2\Delta$ $_{k}$ $B/T_{c}$ ~1.8. Although the value of$ 2\Delta$$B/T_{c}$ was nearly half of the BCS value, the $2\Delta$ seemed to follow the temperature dependence of the BCS formula. Under the magnetic field (H), the superconducting state became suppressed. Interestingly, we found that the normal state area fraction abruptly increased at low field but slowly increased at high field. It did not follow the H-dependences predicted for a s-wave superconductor (i.e. a linear dependence) nor for a s-wave one (i.e. $H^{1}$2/ dependence). We discussed the complex gap nature of $MgB_2$ in comparison with two gap and anisotropic s-wave scenarios.ios.

The purpose of this study was to the determine the optimal torques values to tighten the retaining screw. 3-different implant system tested were as follows : Branemark implant system$(3.75mmD{\times}100mm)$, Steri-Oss implant system$(3.8mmD{\times}10mm)$. One fixtures of each implant system was mounted into the epoxy resin block and abutment/superstructure complex was constructed. Eighty dental college students(male : 40, female : 40) of Chosun University were selected and were asked to tighten the retaining screws. Abutment/superstructure complex of each implant system was tightened to the maximum torque by use of hand-held screw driver, and then torque value was measured with torque value was measured with torque driver(Tohnichi torque driver, model 20 FTD, Tohnichi MFG, Co., LTD., Tokyo, Japan). Abutment/superstructure complex of each implant system was titghtened to each torque of 10 N-cm, 20 N-cm and 30 N-cm, and then the dynamic load(vertical & diagonal load) was applied to the abutment / superstructure complex. The gap between abutment/superstrure in each implant system was measured with 3-dimensional measuring microscope(model No. 850, Germany). The results were as follow : 1. Torque values according to the individual subjects showed wide range. 2. Torque values according to sex showed statistical significant difference. Those are as follows : in case of male, $9.38{\pm}2.93$ N-cm ; incase of female, $7.80{\pm}2.25$ N-cm. 3. Torque values according t implant systems showed statistical significant difference. Those are as follows : in ase of Branemark implant system, $6.54{\pm}1.54$ N-cm : in ase of Steri-Oss implant system, $10.1{\pm}2.88$ N-cm ; in case of IMZ implant system, $9.18{\pm}2.17$ N-cm. 4. The more torque value of tightening screw was increased, the less the gap was after the vertical and diagonal loading. 5. The gap after the diagonal loading was greater than that after the vertical loading. 6. The magnitude of gap between abutment/superstructure in order of IMZ, Steri-Oss, Branemark implant system after the verical and diagonal loading. 7. The gap under the diagonal loading after applying 30 N-cm torque showed no statistical significant difference in cases of the Branemark system and the Steri-Oss implant system but it showed significant different in case of the IMZ implant system.

This study is a basic research in purse seine fishery : on the behaviour of fish schools of tilapia Tilapia mossambica in the process of catch of the purse seine fishing method. The experiment was carried out for the mackerel purse seine which using of power block by fishing fleet system in the near sea of Cheju Island and as a forecast in the near future on the purse seine fishing, using of triplex net winch by one boat system in the near sea of Norway. These model purse seines were made of the scale of 1/180 of its full scale. The model purse seine test on the escaping behaviour of fish school by gap, area reducing of gap and tension of purse line was carried out in the stagnant water of experimental water tank. Designing and testing for the model purse seines were based on the Tauti's law. The results obtained were as follows : 1. When the time for the completing of pursing was 20 minutes, average swimming speed of fish school through a gap was 9.71cm/sec for powerblock seine and 9.97cm/sec for triplex seine. 2. In the case of pursing time in actual value was 20minutes, at 50 percent of the pursing, swimming behaviour of fish school in purse seine was 10% to I section, 80% to II section, 10% to III sectional direction for powerblock seine and a similar tendency for triplex seine. 3. In the case of pursing time in actual value was 20 minutes, at the time of 10 minutes have proceeded since then, area reducing rate of gap of the seine in projected front view was 63.5% for powerblock seine and 67.5% for triplex seine. 4. In the case of pursing time in actual value was 20 minutes, escaping rate of fish school by gap in projected front view was 70% for powerblock seine and 30% for triplex seine. Maximum tension of purse line was about 8.1 tons for powerblock seine and about 8.3 tons for triplex seine.

In this study, we investigated the dust explosion characteristics by determining minimum ignition energy and explosion limit for this experiment, we used pine-tree dust which was used widely for the filler of thermosetting resin. The experiment was accomplished according to the variation of discharge gap, dust concentration, particle size and humidity. The result of this experiment are as follows; (1) The relation between the discharge gap and ignition energy was that ignition energy decreased according as the discharge gap became small, but increased when the discharge gap was below 4mm and suddenly became infinite when the discharge gap was below. So, we knew that this infinite value was limit discharge gap. (2) When the dust concentration increase and the particle size became microscopic it was easy to explore and in the same particle size, if the humidity increase the minimum ingnition energy decreased.

This paper analyzed the power loss of transformers considering the magnetic component. For this, each winding strategy and the effect of air gap between the ferrite core have been an important variable for optimal parameter calculation. Inductors are very well known design rules to devise, but the performance of the flyback converter as a function of transformer winding strategy has not been fully developed. The transformer analysis tool used was PExpert. The influence of the insulator thickness, effect of the air gap, how the window height and variation of the capacitive value effects the coil and insulator materials are some of parameters that have been analyzed in this work. The parameter analysis is calculated to a high frequency of 48[kHz]. Therefore, the final goal of this paper was to calculate and adjust the parameters according to the method of winding array and air gap minimizing the power loss.

This paper has been studied a Adaptive Mutation rate Genetic Algorithm Processor. Genetic Algorithm(GA) has some control parameters such as the probability of bit mutation or the probability of crossover. These value give a priori by the designer There exists a wide variety of values for for control parameters and it is difficult to find the best choice of these values in order to optimize the behavior of a particular GA. We proposed a Adaptive mutation rate GA within a steady-state genetic algorithm in order to provide a self-adapting mutation mechanism. In this paper, the proposed a adaptive mutation rate GAP is implemented on the FPGA board with a APEX EP20K600EBC652-3 devices. The proposed a adaptive mutation rate GAP increased the speed of finding optimal solution by about 10%, and increased probability of finding the optimal solution more than the conventional GAP

A novel model of an inductive superconducting fault current limiter with an inductive superconducting fault current limiter with the air-gap core was fabricated and tested. If its impedance is not high enough to limit the fault current, then destructive damage occurs in the power system. We attained a magnetic saturation under higher current by an effective air gap introduced in the core. The fault current was successfully limited to two times as much as the nominal current at a 60 Hz source having an effective voltage of 70 V. The fault current flowing under such conditions can be limited to a desired value without any fault current peak within 1/4 cycles.

This paper describes the application of two and three dimensional electric field analysis for vacuum interrupter with spiral contacts. The electric potentials of floating arc shield and electric fields in a vacuum interrupter are analysed at various gap distances from 1mm to 12mm. The electric potentials of floating shield is increased with the gap distance, which is because the relative position of shield is closer to the fixed contact so that the capacitance distribution inside interrupter is varied. The calculated results show that the maximum value of electric field in a vacuum interrupter with floating shield is nearly same to that without shield at short gap distance below 5mm, however at longer gaps more intensive electric field is achieved in interrupter with shield comparing with the model without shield, which is due to the influence of charged floating shield.

Electrostatic charge is generated in large scale or high speed processes dealing with materials with large resistance, or under complicated condition. Fire and explosion often occur due to electrostatic charge accumulated in flammable gases, vapor, liquids and powder. It is usually very difficult to verify the cause of accidents as well as the prevention. In this study, it is shown that the needle electrode needs the electrode gap from 1.8mm to 3.8mm, sphere electrode and plate electrodes need the electrode gap of 1.9mmfor the minimum ignition energy. The sphere electrode and the plate electrode requires 12.8mJ and 3.2mJ of minimum ignition energy respectively with the electrode gap of 1.1mm. The ignition voltage rises to very large value as the ground resistance increases.
