A total of 19 elevators for evacuation were installed in the Lotte World Tower and it is planned to operate the shuttle using the manual key from five refuge floors to the 1st floor in an emergency. In the event of a fire or other disaster, it is necessary to conduct intensive analysis to determine how much RSET reduction could be achieved using the evacuation elevator compared to the existing evacuation plans. When the optimal transportation sharing ratio by the evacuation elevators was 40% at the Lotte World Tower, the RSET of the evacuation scenario in parallel with the elevators in the entire building was calculated to be 1 hour and 2 minutes. The RSET of a conventional evacuation scenario (Walking along the stairs without using the elevators) was calculated to be 1 hour 29 minutes, therefore, the former evacuation scenario were found to have a shortening effect of approximately 27 minutes compared to the latter. On the other hand, to maintain this effect, each part of the evacuation route using the elevator must have the capability to protect the evacuee from any hazards caused by fires, such as smoke, flame, and radiant heat during the evacuation. Moreover, the evacuation route should be continuous from the residence position of the elevator user to the final evacuation site, and be recognized easily.

수송용 바이오연료로써 바이오디젤의 보급 활성화에 따른 원료인 식물성 기름의 가격 상승 및 수급 불안정성 문제를 해결하고자 그동안 활용되지 않았던 폐유지를 바이오디젤 생산 원료로 사용하여 바이오디젤 생산 단가를 낮추고 원료의 수급 안정성도 확보하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 폐유지의 경우 대부분 유리지방산 함량이 높아 염기 촉매를 적용하는 방법으로는 비누의 생성으로 전환이 힘들며 산 촉매를 적용하여 유리지방산을 에스테르화하는 공정을 필요로 한다. 에스테르화 반응에서는 반응 부산물로 물이 생성되며, 생성된 물은 바이오디젤 생산 반응을 저해하고 역반응을 유도하며 촉매의 활성을 감소시킨다. 본 연구에서는 고유리지방산 함량 오일의 에스테르화 반응에서 수분의 영향을 검토하였다. 산 촉매로 액상 촉매인 황산과 고체 산 촉매인 Amberlyst-15를 사용하였다. 초기 수분 함량이 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20%로 증가하였을 때, 지방산 메틸 에스테르 함량이 크게 감소하였으며, 1%의 수분 함량에서도 반응이 크게 저해받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 고유리지방산 함량 오일의 에스테르화 반응에서 수분에 의한 저해가 중요한 변수라는 것을 알 수 있다. Amberlyst-15는 황산보다 수분의 영향에 의해 지방산 메틸 에스테르 함량이 빠르게 감소하였다. 이는 다공성의 Amberlyst-15에서 생성된 물이 반응물질들이 active site에 접근하는 것을 방해하였기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 황산을 사용하였을 경우에는 오일 대 메탄올 몰비를 1:3에서 1:6으로 증가시킴으로써 정반응 속도가 증가하여 수분에 대한 영향이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다. 에스테르화 반응 종료 12시간 후에 바이오디젤과 메탄올 내에 수분 함량을 분석한 결과 12%의 수분이 바이오디젤 층에 존재하며 88%의 수분은 메탄올 층에 존재하였다. 반응 중에 생성된 수분을 제거하기 위해, 에스테르화 반응 30분 후에 물을 포함하는 메탄올과 촉매 층을 새 메탄올과 촉매로 교환하는 2단계 반응을 수행함으로써 지방산 메틸 에스테르 함량을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 반응 초기에는 황산이 Amberlyst-15보다 높은 활성을 보였지만, 시간이 지날수록 두 촉매 사이의 에스테르화 성능 차이는 감소하였다. 따라서 2단계 에스테르화 반응이 수분의 저해작용을 줄이는 한 가지 대안으로 제안될 수 있다. 또한 에스테르화 반응에서 물의 저해 작용을 줄이기 위해 앞으로 투과증발막의 적용 또는 물에 저해작용을 받지 않는 구조의 촉매 사용을 검토할 필요가 있다.

The photoreceptor films with double layer structure were prepared by the plasma polymerization and the dip-coating method. The blocking layer was coated with A1$_2$O$_3$ on the Al substrate and the charge generation layer was formed by H$_2$ phthalocyanine (H$_2$Pc). Poly 9-Vinylcarbazole was used as a charge transport layer. H$_2$Pc film prepared by the vacuum evaporation had absorption peaks on 613.6[nm] and 694.8[nm], and H$_2$Pc film prepared by the plasma polymerization had a dull peaks between 600 and 700[nm]. The surface potential of PVCz increased with increasing the applied voltage and the thickness of PVCz. The dark decay characteristic, the light decay time and the residual time increased with increasing the thickness of PVCz. The surface charge of PVCz of 15[${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$] thickness was 134[nc/$\textrm{cm}^2$] at the surface potential of -600[V] and the charge generation efficiency of H$_2$Pc was 0.034.

As RFID technology has been developed rapidly, its technical potential has it be widely used in many industrial fields. Particularly, in the physical distribution industry, the introduction of RFID has enormously contributed to effectively monitoring locations and information of products in real-time. Also, a significant decline in tag prices and RFID related technical competitiveness enabled each tag to be managed much more minutely by attaching it to an item, not a pallet nor a container. However, if a very large volume of tag data are continuously flowed into a RFID middleware with limited hardware resources, its entire data processing time may become considerably longer. Therefore, specific technologies are in great demand to handle and further to reduce the load of the middleware. In this paper, we proposed a mobile agent-based software module to efficiently reduce the load of the middleware by pre-processing a lot of tag data while items are in transit. Simulation results show that using the proposed software module considerably enhances the speed of processing tag data than otherwise. This behavior increases the tag recognition rate in a certain time limit and improves reliability of RFID middlewares.

지속 가능한 발전을 위해, 한정된 자원인 석유의 고갈을 막기 위해 석유를 수송에너지로 주로 사용하는 자동차에서 바이오 디젤이나 연료전지, 전기자동차 등 다양한 대안이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 식량 가격 상승, 낮은 안정성, 인프라 확충 등의 문제의 해결이 필요할 뿐만 아니라, 석유의 소비를 감소시키는 대신, 지구에서 소비할 수 있는 다른 형태의 에너지를 소모한다는 측면에서 근본적인 에너지 문제의 해결책의 모색이 필요하다. 19세기 후반, 백열전구의 필라멘트 용도로 사용되기 시작한 탄소 섬유는, 철에 비해 5배 가볍고 강도는 10배가 높으며 내열성이 뛰어난 소재로서, 복합소재의 형태로 제조되어 비행기, 우주선, 풍력 발전 블레이드 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 소재의 장점을 발휘하는 재료로 적용 분야가 확대되고 있다. 특히 비행기 분야에서는 최근 비행기 몸체 구조에 기존 알루미늄 합금을 탄소섬유복합재가 대체하고 있으며, 최근에는 부피 기준 50% 가량까지 탄소섬유 복합재를 사용하여 비행기를 제작하고 있다. 이에 따라 기존에 비해 20% 가량 연료 소모가 감소하여, 비행기 한 대 당 연간 2,700톤의 이산화탄소 배출을 저감하고 있다. 이와 같이 탄소섬유 복합재를 다양한 분야에 적용함으로써, 에너지 문제에 대한 보다 근본적인 접근이 가능하다. 그러나 탄소섬유 복합소재는 금속 등 기존 재료에 비해 높은 가격으로 상용 자동차 등 에너지 소비량이 많은 분야에 널리 적용되는데 한계가 존재한다. 이와 같이 높은 탄소섬유의 가격은, 원가의 50% 가량을 차지하는 PAN 원사 가격과 나머지 반절에 해당하는 안정화/탄화 공정 비용에서 기인하는 것으로, 미국의 ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), 한국의 KIST 복합소재연구소 등에서는 원사, 안정화 공정, 탄화 공정 등 다양한 측면에서 탄소섬유 복합재의 가격을 절감할 수 있는 방안을 연구 중이다. 미국 ORNL에서는 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마를 이용하여 기존에 열을 이용해 수행하던 탄화 공정 비용을 크게 절감하고 있으며, KIST에서는 대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 기존에 열을 이용해 2시간 가량이 소요되는 안정화 공정을, 대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 30분여로 단축된 시간에 수행하는 공정을 개발 중이다. 본 발표에서는 탄소섬유 복합재의 개요와, 탄소섬유 가격 절감 방안으로서의 플라즈마에 대해 논의하며 대기압 플라즈마의 다양한 응용에 대해 소개할 예정이다.

Noise in homogeneous extrinsic semiconductor samples is calculated due to distributed diffusion noise sources. As the length of the device shrinks at a fixed bias voltage, the ac-wise short-circuit noise current shows excess noise as well as thermal noise spectra. This excess noise behaves like a full shot noise when the channel length becomes very small compared with the extrinsic Debye length. For the first time, the analytic formula of the excess noise in extrinsic semiconductors from velocity-fluctuation noise sources is given for finite frequencies. This formula shows the interplay between transit time, dielectric relaxation time, and velocity relaxation time in determining the terminal noise current as well as the carrier density fluctuation. As frequency increases, the power spectral density of the excess noise rolls off. This formula sheds light on noise in nanoscale MOSFETs where quasi-ballistic transport plays an important role in carrier transport and noise.

Friction welding is a very useful joining process to weld metals which have axially symmetric cross section. In this paper, the feasibility of industry application was determined by analyzing the mechanical properties of weld region for a specimen of tube-to-tube shape for excavator hose nipple with friction welding, and optimized welding variables were suggested. In order to accomplish this object, friction heating pressure and friction heating time were selected as the major process variables and the experiment was performed in three levels of each parameter. An acoustic emission(AE) technique was applied to evaluate the optimal friction welding conditions nondestructively. AE parameters of accumulative count and event were analyzed in terms of generating trend of AE signals across the full range of friction weld. The typical waveform and frequency spectrum of AE signals which is generated by friction weld were discussed. From this study the optimal welding variables could be suggested as rotating speed of 1300 rpm, friction heating pressure of 15 MPa, and friction heating time of 10 sec. AE event was a useful parameter to estimate the tensile strength of tube-to tube specimen with friction weld.

To achieve a high tunneling magneto resistance (TMR) of sputtered magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with an MgO barrier, the annealing process is indispensable. The structural and compositional changes as consequences of the annealing greatly affect the spin-dependent transport properties of MTJs. Higher TMR could be obtained for MTJs annealed at higher annealing temperature. The diffusion of Ru, Mn and/or Ta in the MTJs may occur during annealing process, which is known to be detrimental to spin-dependent tunneling effect. The rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process was used for annealing the MTJs with synthetic antiferromagnets. To suppress the diffusion of Mn, Ru and/or Ta in the MTJs, the process time and temperature of RTA were minutely controlled.

Time-consuming experiments have been required in the development of neutron moisture gauge to induce a relation between the water content in soil and the neutron counts. Applying a monte carlo computer code to simulate the experiments of neutron moisture gauging may contribute to reduce time and efforts for experiments and produce a calibration equation which is more applicable to soil in general. In this study MCNP4A, a monte carlo computer code, was employed to simulate soil experiments and the simulated results were compared with experimental ones. The comparative study showed that MCNP4A is applicable to simulate the experiments and calibration equation can be obtained through simulations. Effects of dry density changes were also studied.
