This paper presents an empirical and comprehensive forecasting analysis of the uranium price. Prices are generally difficult to forecast, and the uranium price is not an exception because it is affected by many external factors, apart from imbalances between demand and supply. Therefore, a systematic analysis of multiple forecasting methods and combinations of them along repeated forecast origins is a way of discerning which method is most suitable. Results suggest that i) some sophisticated methods do not improve upon the Naïve's (horizontal) forecast and ii) Unobserved Components methods are the most powerful, although the gain in accuracy is not big. These two facts together imply that uranium prices are undoubtedly subject to many uncertainties.

본 연구에서는 Anodic Aluminum Oxide(AAO) 템플레이트 제조 시 알루미늄의 결정방위가 세공 형성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 시료는 직경 20mm 두께 2mm의 세가지 단결정 시편을 사용 하였으며 이는 XRD 장비로 $2{\theta}$ 측정결과를 통해 확인 하였다. 양극 산화전 평활한 면을 얻기 위해 다이아몬드분말로 미세연마하였으며 양극산화는 세가지 시편 모두 동일한 조건에서 2단계공정까지 진행하여 반복 실험 하였다. 결과는 전계방출주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)으로 표면의 세공형태를 관찰 하였다.

The powder characterization and sintering behavior of alkoxide-derived alumina powders prepared by esterification were investigated. The dried powders were calcined at 700$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 1080$^{\circ}C$, 1170$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. and the resulting crystalline forms were amorphous, {{{{ gamma }} phase, {{{{ theta }}+{{{{ alpha }} phase, and {{{{ alpha }} phase, respectively. The sinterability was best in the case of being calcined at 1170$^{\circ}C$. It was most effective to disperse sintering additive in the initial stage from which acetate was formed. At 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, 98.5% of relative density was obtained when MgO and Fe2O3 were simultaneously doped, and dense sintered body whose density was near theoretical value was obtained when heating schedule was controlled.

In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimators for parameters are derived under three step-stress accelerated life tests for Type-I hybrid censored data. The exponential distribution and the cumulative exposure model are considered based on the assumption that a log quadratic relationship exits between stress and the mean lifetime ${\theta}$. The test plan to search optimal stress change times minimizing the asymptotic variance of maximum likelihood estimators are presented. A numerical example to illustrate the proposed inferential procedures and some simulation results to investigate the sensitivity of the optimal stress change times by the guessed parameters are given.

This paper presents a design optimization for meridional profile and blade angle ${\theta}$ of a centrifugal compressor with DOE (design of experiments) and RSM (response surface method). Control points of the $3^{rd}$ order Bezier curve are used for design parameters and specific overall efficiency is used as object function. The response surface function shows good agreement with the 3D computational results. Three different optimized designs are proposed and compared with reference design at design point and off-design point. Contours of relative Mach number, static entropy, and total pressure are analyzed for improvement of performance by optimization. Off-design performance analysis is conducted by total pressure and efficiency.

In order to increase perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of magnetic layer and prepare magnetic recording layer with a good quality by epitaxial growth between magnetic layer and, we prepared Co$\_$77/Cr$\_$20/Ta$_3$/Si doublelayer for perpendicular magnetic recording media which was promoted as next generation recording media on slide glass substrate. The thickness of magnetic layer and Underlayer were varied from 20 to 100 nm and 5 to 100 m, respectively. The surface morphology and crystal structure of the CoCrTa/Si film were examined with XRD and AFM. Prepared thin films showed improvement of dispersion angle of c-axis orientation Δ$\theta$$\_$50/ caused by inserting amorphous Si underlayer.

In this work, epitaxial GaN is grown on sapphire substrate in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Deliberate oxygen doping of GaN grown by MOVPE has been studied. The electron concentration increased as a function of the square root of the oxygen partial Pressure. Oxygen is a shallow donor with a thermal ionization energy of $27\pm2 meV$ measured by temperature dependent Hall effects. A compensation ratio of $\theta$=0.3~0.4 was determined from Hall effect measurements. The formation energy of $O_N$ of $E^F$ =1.3eV determined from the experimental data, is lower than the theoretically predicted vague.

In odor to set high saturation magnetization and coercivity, it had need to orient axis of easy magnetization of CoCr-based thin film perpendicular direction(c-axis) to the substrate plane. It was known that crystalline orientation of CoCr-based thin film was improved by introducing underlayer like Ti, Ge. We prepared singlelayer and double layer with Si underlayer by Facing Targets Sputtering System. As a result, intensity and c-axis dispersion angle ${\Delta}{\theta}_{50}$ of singlelayer were improved with increasing film thickness. Also, it was found that CoCr/Si and CoCrTa/Si double layer showed good c-axis dispersion angle due to introducing Si.

Cube-textured Ni substrates for YBCO coated conductors were fabricated by cold-rolling and annealing of Ni powder compacts. To establish the optimum sintering temperature, tensile test was performed for the Ni rod sintered at various temperatures. The Ni rods prepared at above 100$0^{\circ}C$ showed good mechanical properties due to the complete densification of the Ni rods. The Ni rods were rolled to final thickness of 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and then annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for various annealing time for texture development. The texture analysis made by 2 $\theta$ scan and pole-figure showed that the cube texture was developed in a short time of a few munitues. The FWHM of in-plane and out of plane texture of the prepared Ni tapes was 8-10$^{\circ}$. The AEM surface roughness of the Ni tapes was as smooth as 3 nm.
