This paper describes an initial study for the application of eddy current pattern recognition approaches to more realistic flaw characterization in steam generator tubes. For this purpose, finite-element model-based theoretical eddy current testing (ECT) signals are simulated from 5 types of OD flaws with the variation in flaw size parameters and testing frequency. In addition, three kinds of software are developed for the convenience in the application of steps in pattern recognition approaches such as feature extraction feature selection and classification by probabilistic neural networks (PNNs). The cross point of the ECT signals simulated from flaws with non-symmetric cross-sections shows the deviation from the origin of the impedance plane. New features taking advantages of this phenomenon are added to complete the feature set with a total of 18 features. Then, classification with PNNs are performed based on this feature set. The PNN classifiers show high performance for the identification of symmetry in the cross-section of a flaw. However, they show very limited success in the interrogation of the sharpness of flaw tips.

We investigate the two recent simulations of the proto-type domestic carbon emission trading system in Korea and draw some policy implications. The first simulation includes the 5 electric power companies based on baseline and credit. But the second one is with the 7 energy-intensive companies based on cap and trade. The voluntary approaches in this paper revealed the instability of market equilibrium, i.e., price volatility or distortion, excess supply or demand. These phenomena stems from excess incentives to the players, asymmetric information, players' irresponsible strategic behaviors, and non acquaintance of trading system. This paper suggests the basic design for domestic carbon trading system in future and a stepwise introduction strategy for it including the incentive auction scheme, the total quantity of incentive needed, and how to finance it. Meantime, the further simulations on the various sectors based on voluntary participation must be essential for learning experiences and better policy design.

Firms can make scale of economy and scope of economy by internalizing and using new advanced technology and knowledge from technology cooperation network, decrease risk and cost with partner firm of technology cooperation network, and increase market advantage of product & strengthen firms' position in the market. Due to the advantages of technology cooperation network, the related studies have focused on the positive effect of technology cooperation network. However, the related studies investigating the relationship between technology cooperation network and firm performance have only examined the role of technology cooperation network. Safeguarding mechanism, relationship learning, and relationship performance are categorized into the process of technology cooperation network, and this categorization is applied as resources, capability, and performance by resource based view. The empirical results are reported as belows. First, relationship specific investment and relationship capital positively affect on relationship learning as capability. Second, information sharing, common information understanding, and relationship specific memory development positively affect on long-term orientation, but information sharing has no impact on efficiency and effectiveness. Third, relationship specific investment positively affects on relationship capital and efficiency and effectiveness have positive effects on long-term orientation. Applying technology cooperation network in asymmetric technology dependency with resource based theory, this study suggested the importance of both safeguarding and relationship learning by investigating the relationship among safeguarding, relationship learning, and relationship performance. And it is worthy that this study investigated how firms' behavior change affects relationship performance in the relationship of technology cooperation partner.

This paper examines monetary policy quantitatively in a two-agent and small-scale New-Keynesian economy with debt-constrained households that cannot smooth their consumption intertemporally and frictionlessly since highly indebted households are not allowed to borrow above a certain debt ceiling in incomplete financial markets without additional risk premiums due to information asymmetry between savers and borrowers. We find that, in the event of cost shocks, the asymmetric responses of borrowing households without, and saving households with, dividend incomes lead to different labor supplies and consumptions over heterogeneous households, and eventually to an extension of the monetary policy transmission channels. The income effect and low elasticity of the labor supply play key roles in such asymmetric responses over heterogeneous households. We also find that the social welfare in a flexible inflation targeting (FIT) monetary policy, in which both the inflation gap and the output gap are considered in an integrated manner when policy-making, is similar to that of the Ramsey optimal monetary policy (ROP), in which the shares of debt-constrained households, as well as all economic states, including both the inflation gap and output gap, are considered comprehensively for policy-making, and that it is greater than that of simple inflation targeting (SIT) monetary policy, in which only the inflation gap is considered mechanically for policy-making. Such social welfare implies that a FIT policy may still work even in an economy with a sizable number of debt-constrained households. Further, the responses of cost shocks to consumption and labor supply are dying out more slowly under FIT and ROP policies than under an SIT policy.

In patients with unstable mandibular movements who are accompanied by involuntary facial muscle movements and asymmetrical changes in the facial features, many difficulties exist in determining the vertical dimension of occlusion, recording centric relation, and transferring information about the occlusal plane. In this case, for a patient with unilateral facial nerve palsy who was edentulous for a long period of time, a CAD-CAM provisional prosthesis was fabricated using a 3D printing customized gothic arch tracer and a prefabricated occlusal plane recorder, the POP bow system, to achieve a stable interarch relationship. Afterwards, a full mouth implant fixed prosthesis was fabricated by delivering an appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion, a reproducible centric relation, and a correct three-dimensional occlusal plane, and continuous maintenance was performed to restore functional and aesthetic oral health to the patient.

A test section of a supersonic wind tunnel was designed for the analysis of flow characteristics over a backward-facing step with Mach 1.0 slot injection in a supersonic flow of Mach 2.5. The cavity flow of a high-speed vehicle is very complex at supersonic speed, so it is necessary to do experiments using supersonic wind tunnels to verify numerical analysis methods. The previous 2D symmetrical nozzle was replaced with an asymmetrical nozzle. The inviscid nozzle contour was designed using Method of Characteristics (MOC), and the boundary layer thickness correction was reflected by experimental data from the wind tunnel. The results were compared with a CFD analysis. The PID control system was changed to be based on the change of tank pressure. This improved the control efficiency, and the run times of supersonic flow increased by about 1 second. The flow characteristics over a backward facing step with slot injection were visualized by a Schlieren device. This equipment will be used for an experimental study of the film cooling effectiveness over a cavity with various velocities, mass flows, and temperatures.

The warfare caused a dramatic change when new technology was introduced to the battlefield or when the technology was matured to change the concept of operation. Thus, the rapid development of science since the 19th century is also rapidly changing the aspect and speed of war, and the recent speed of change is making it more difficult to predict future warfare than in the past In particular, in the past, it was difficult to predict the future warfare based on the latest science and technology, because it was difficult to spread and seize advanced science and technology. But global human exchange, technology hijacking by internet, and developing of asymmetric skills and methods caused more complex to technology based warfare prediction. In other words, the nature and principles of war, together with the development of science and technology, should be considered togther to predict future warfare. Therefore this study is based on the thory and principles of war and the latest science and technology to predict the future warfare situation that the military will face.

Zn코팅은 우수한 내식성과 경제성을 바탕으로 자동차나 건축자재 등 산업의 전반적인 분야에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 최근 한정된 Zn의 매장량으로 인한 원자제의 가격상승과 습식 도금과정의 환경오염 물질 배출 문제가 기존 Zn 코팅의 약점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 새로운 원소의 첨가로 인한 Zn의 사용량 감소나 친환경적인 공정방법을 적용하는 연구가 대두되고 있다. 최근의 연구 결과에 따르면 Zn-Mg 합금이 다른 Zn계 합금에 비해 내식성이 우수하며, 이와 같은 우수한 내식성은 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$, $MgZn_2$와 같은 Mg-Zn 이원계의 합금상에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 친환경적인 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터 공정을 활용하여 다양한 공정조건 하에서 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하여 최적의 공정 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. Zn-Mg 박막 합성 시 Mg타겟의 조성은 3~10 wt.%로 변화하였으며 Zn-Mg 합금 타겟의 온도를 제어하여 박막의 Mg 조성과 타겟 온도가 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성 및 밀착성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 합성된 Zn-Mg 박막은 FE-SEM, EDS, XRD를 사용하여 미세조직, 두께, Mg 조성, 합금상 등을 분석하였으며, 염수분무시험 및 0T 굽힘 시험을 활용하여 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성 및 내식성을 비교 분석하였다. FE-SE및 EDS분석 결과 Zn-Mg 박막의 Mg 조성은 합금 타겟의 조성이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, Mg 함량이 증가할수록 미세구조가 치밀하게 변화하였다. 또한 Zn-Mg 박막 합성 중 타겟의 온도가 상승할수록 박막의 치밀도는 감소하였다. XRD분석 결과 박막을 이루는 주요 합금상은 Zn상과 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$상이며 본 연구에서는 증착 조건에 따른 합금상의 큰 변화는 보이지 않았다. 염수분무실험 및 밀착성 평가 결과 박막의 미세조직이 치밀할수록 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성은 향상되었으나, 밀착성은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 Zn-Mg 박막이 치밀한 미세구조일수록 부식환경에서의 강판에 대한 보호 효과는 증가하는 반면, 변형 시 박막의 파괴로 인한 박리 현상이 가속되기 때문으로 판단된다.

The Wondong caldea is a deeply eroded structure that offers spectacular exposures through the core and margins of a resurgent caldera. The Wondong Tuff and the postcollapse intrusions range from medium-silica rhyolite to rhyodacite in composition and the postcollapse lava and tuff, preresurgent and resurgent intrusions also range from medium-silica rhyolite to an-desite, which jump to gap dacite composition. The continuous compositional zonations generally define a large stratified magma system in the postcollapse and resurgent magma chamber. Isotopic and trace element evidence suggest that the compositional zonations might have resulted from the differentiations from crystal fractionations of a parental andesitic magma, accompanying a little contamination from the crustal assimilations near the chamber roof and wall. But chemically and isotopically distinct late intusions might have resulted from emplacement of any different magma batch.

The basic mechanism of lubrication between the piston ring and the cylinder wall is developed theoretically under the assumption of a reciprocating and dynamically loaded slider-bearing pair of parabolic form and smooth plane. A numerical computation for the prediction in cyclic variations of film thickness, net lubricant flow and frictional behaviour is attempted, and the influenec on the performance characteristics due to the ring height, ring face radius of curvature and the degree of offset, is also examined. The computational procedures develeped for a single ring system are extended and applied further to the complex problem of a ring pack system. It is well known that the ring pressure which is the total load on a ring, can be obtained from either an experimental measurement or a gas flow analysis. In this work, the latter of a gas low analysis method was used to calculate the pressures. It is remarked that the work done was focused on the role of flow continuity and lubricant starvation within the ring pack lubrication.
