This study applied EK method to remediate contaminated soil by lead (Pb), tried increasing efficiency of remediation using adsorbent (apatite and zeolite) as enhanced EK remediation method to overcome the limit of traditional EK remediation method. Adsorption tests on Pb were practiced to extract EK, making different concentration of contaminated soil, voltage condition, operating time etc., transferring Pb-ion into the position of adsorbent, then tried immobilization. On this results, the efficiency of remediation is different on its test conditions. In addition, the efficiency of remediation was not only improved by adding electrode revεrsal and install position of adsorbent but also satisfied TCLP regulation of EPA in USA through the whole sample range. Finally, absorption and immobilization capacity of apatite and zeolite proved on its excellence and confirmed the possibility of application of apatite and zeolite as enhanced EK remediation method.

In this work, the treatment of heavy metals and phenol in the contaminated soil was investigated by applying direct current (DC) and pulse voltage. When the DC was used, the removal efficiencies for Cu, Zn, As, and Pb were 73, 88, 10, and 10%, respectively, and more than 95% for phenol was removed. Furthermore, when a pulse voltage was employed the removal efficiencies for Cu, Zn, As, and Pb were 88, 92, 40, and 40%, respectively, and 87% of phenol was removed. The results indicate that the application of a pulse voltage for the treatment of contaminated soil reduced electro-osmosis, but increased the rate of electric current movement of heavy metals. In addition, the removal efficiencies for As and Pb have been improved due to the enhanced adsorption capacity of clay components in the soil. Therefore, these experimental results could be effectively applied in remediation technology for the treatment of various heavy metals and phenol.

In this study, we evaluated corrosion behavior of a common rolling stock axle material, RSA1, in seawater. 3-electrode electrochemical cell experiment was conducted using artificial sea water, fabricated according to ASTM-D1141 set by American Society for Testing and Materials, where the corrosion current density and corrosion rate were determined to be $18.3{\mu}A/cm2$ and 0.217 mm/yr, respectively, by employing potentiodynamic test method and impedance spectroscopy method. Considering the fact that life time of railway car is ~25 years, the expected corrosion layer depth is 5mm. Constant-current corrosion test was conducted to accelerate the corrosion process, to reach corrosion periods of 1,3 and 4 years based on Faraday's law, followed by tension tests where the reduced specimen gauge cross-section was re-measured for stress calculation. While no apparent corrosion-related changes in mechanical properties were observed in the elastic regime, the reduction in ductility of the material was found to be increased as the corrosion period increased. The results of this study are expected to be basic corrosion data for the design of rolling stock axles, which will be operated in the sea water environment.

In this study, the effect of the automotive haptic-seat technology which can transmit the driving information by the vibro-stimulus from the seat was investigated to overcome previous system's limitation relied on the visual and audial method and to help handicap driving. A prototype haptic seat cover with 30 coin-type motors and driver module were developed for this sake. In an experiment of seat vibration stimulation being performed under virtual driving situation by targeting the elderly aged over 65 years old, average score of test subjects for total vibration recognition was 3.5/4 points and recognition rate of 87.5% was represented. In addition, a result that all the test subjects totally recognized overspeed warning signal of 4 times was represented. As a result of statistical analysis for vibration recognition score by each group depending on TMT score, a significant difference was not found and a result that tactile function of which vibration is recognized even by the aged whose visual, perceptional function is declined showed an equal ability was obtained.. In this study it was shown that the seat vibration stimulus could be used to transfer the old drivers' information while driving.

The Real Time Location System (RTLS) is very important in the ubiquitous society for real time tracking of men, high price assets, and logistics products. In this work, we developed an active RF system for RTLS and tested its performance. The RTLS system developed in this work was constructed of three active readers and one active tag. The small size tag developed in this work operated with a coin type battery. To make the tag smaller, we used an internal PCB antenna and a chip antenna. We tested the performance of the tag. To reduce the manufacturing cost of our RF system, we used low price RF transceiver CC2510 chip-set. The CC2510 chip-set provided RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) signal which could be used to determine the distances between an active tag and three active readers.

플라즈마 전해 산화법(Plasma electrolytic oxidation)에 의해 형성된 코팅층은 특유의 기공구조로 인해 부식 환경에 노출 시 부식액의 침투가 급속히 이루어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 유기코팅, sol-gel법, 폴리머 코팅 등에 의해 기공을 봉공(sealing)하는 방법이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Al 합금의 플라즈마 전해 산화 처리 후 질산 세륨 수용액(Cerium nitrate solution)에 의한 봉공 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. PEO 코팅을 위한 전해액은 2g/L의 KOH와 $2g/L\;Na_2SiO_3$를 증류수에 용해시켜 준비하였다. PEO 코팅층은 Al 시편을 전해액 내에 위치시켜 양극으로 하고 STS를 음극으로 하여 $0.1A/cm^2$의 펄스 정전류밀도(주파수: 100Hz, 듀티비: 20%)를 15분 동안 인가하여 형성시켰다. 봉공을 위한 실링액은 증류수에 $0.3g/L\;H_2O_2$와 $1g/L\;H_3BO_3$를 첨가하고, $Ce(NO_3)_3$를 농도 변수로 첨가하여 준비하였으며, PEO 코팅 처리된 시편을 실링액에 침지하여 실링액의 농도와 침지시간을 달리하여 봉공을 실시하였다. 제작된 PEO 코팅층에 대해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용한 표면분석을 실시하였으며, 내식성을 확인하고자 동전위분극시험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 세륨 실링 처리된 PEO 코팅 층에서 미량의 세륨 성분이 검출되었으나, 세륨계 화합물 생성에 의한 마이크로 크기의 기공의 폐쇄는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 전기화학적 특성 평가 결과 실링 처리된 PEO 코팅층의 경우 Al 모재에 비해 2차수 정도 감소된 부식전류밀도를 나타내었다. 이 같은 내식성의 향상은 세륨 성분에 의한 부식 억제 효과 때문으로 판단된다.

In this paper, ultrasonic images of 25MHz bandwidth were acquired by applying peak value variation, time average and depth profile algorithm to acoustic microscopy and its performance was compared and analysed with each other. In the time average algorithm, total reflecting pulse wave from a spot on the coin was converted to digital data in time domain and average value of the converted 512 data was calculated in computer. Time average image was displayed by gray levels colour of acquired N x N matrix average data in the scanning area on the sample. This technique having smoothing effects in time domain make developed an ultrasonic image on a highly scattering area. In depth profile technique, time difference between the reference and the reflected signal was detected with minimum resolution performance of 2ns, thus we can acquired real 3 dimensional shape of the scanning area in accordance with relative magnitude. Through these experiments, peak value, time average and depth profile images were analysed and advantages of each algorithm were proposed.

An ansemble of N players arranged in a circle play a spatially dependent Parrondo game B. One player is randomly selected to play game B, which is based on the toss of a biased coin, with the amount of the bias depending on states of the selected player's two nearest neighbors. The player wins one unit with heads and loses one unit with tails. In game A' the randomly chosen player transfers one unit of capital to another player who is randomly chosen among N - 1 players. Game A' is fair with respect to the ensemble's total profit. The games are said to exhibit the Parrondo effect if game B is losing and the random mixture game C is winning and the reverse-Parrondo effect if game B is winning and the random mixture game C is losing. We compute the exact mean profits for games B and C by applying a state space reduction method with lumped Markov chains and we sketch the Parrondo and reverse-Parrondo regions for $3{\leq}N{\leq}6$.

Effects of specimen area on the corrosion rate of low alloy steel were studied in sulfuric acid solution. The corrosion behavior of specimen was tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance measurement (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron probe X-ray micro analyzer (EPMA). As surface area was increased, corrosion rate was increased by the effect of small anode-large cathode.
