This study was carried out to investigate the cause of acidification of rainwater and to evaluate the possibility of alternative water resource in Saemangeum. The rainwater were collected in the kwangwhal-myun, Saemangeum from March to September, 2009. The collected 7 samples were analyzed with pH meter, IC (ion chromatography) and ICP (inductively coupled plasma) about the pH and the major ions ($SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $Cl^-$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$, $NH^{4+}$, $Na^+$ and $Mg^{2+}$) of rainwater. The order of the major anion concentration and the acidification contribution in the rainwater was $SO{_4}^{2-}$>$NO_3{^-}$>$Cl^-$, and that of the major cation was $Ca^{2+}$>$K^+$>$NH_4{^+}$>$Na^+$>$Mg^{2+}$. In the initial rainwater, the major ions concentration were higher than the middle period. pH of the rainwater was the lowest at May, but similar to the results of the others. And pH of the rainwater were significant correlation with $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $Cl^-$ in Saemangeum. From this results, the rainwater was slight acidic, and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ was the main factor contributed to the rainwater acidification in Saemangeum.

Magnetron-sputtering법을 사용하여 기존에 연구하였던 CrAlN (Cr 7：Al 3)박막에 Si를 첨가하여 Si의 함량 변화에 따라 미세구조와 화학적 결합상태, 온도저항계수(TCR) 및 산화저항의 영향과 기계적특성 개선을 통한 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써의 가능성을 연구하였다. CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 변화에 따라 온도저항계수 변화를 확인하였으며 X-선 회절 분석(XRD) 패턴 분석결과 CrAlSiN 박막의 결정구조가 Bl-NaCl 구조를 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였으며 SEM과 AFM을 통한 표면 및 미세구조 분석결과 Si의 함량이 증가할수록 입자가 조밀해짐을 알 수 있었다. 최근 digital priting technology의 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있는 inkjet priting technology는 널리 태양전지뿐만 아니라 thin film process, lithography와 같은 반도체 공정 기술에 활용 할 수 있기 때문에 반도체 제조장비에도 사용되고 있으며, 현재 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있다. Inkjet printing technology는 전기 에너지를 잉크를 배출하기 위해 열에너지로 변환하는 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있는데, 이러한 thermal inkjet 방식은 기본적으로 전기저항이 필요하지만 electrical resistor layer는 잉크를 높은 온도에서 순간적으로 가열하기 때문에 부식이나 산화 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있어 이에 대한 보호층을 필요로 한다. 하지만, 고해상도, 고속 잉크젯 프린터, 대형 인쇄 등을 요구되고 있어 저 전력 중심의 잉크젯 프린터의 열효율을 방해하는 보호층 제거에 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 magnetron-sputtering을 사용하여 기존의 CrAlN 박막에 Si를 합성하여 anti-oxidation, corrosion resistance 그리고 low temperature coefficient of resistance 값을 갖는 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써 CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 따른 효과에 초점을 두었다. 본 실험은 CrAlN 박막에 Si 함량을 4~11 at%까지 첨가시켜 함량의 변화에 따른 특성변화를 확인하였다. 함량이 증가할수록 amorphous silicon nitride phase의 영향으로 박막의 roughness는 감소하였으며 XRD 분석결과 (111) peak의 Intensity가 감소함을 확인하였으며 SEM 관찰시 모든 박막이 columnar structure를 나타내었으며 Si함량이 증가할수록 입자가 치밀해짐을 보여주었다.Si함량이 증가할수록 CrAlN 박막에 비하여 면저항은 증가하였으며 TCR 측정결과 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 안정한 TCR값을 나타내었다. Multi-functional heater resistor layer 역할을 하기 위해서, CrAlSiN 박막의 원소 분포, 표면 거칠기, 미세조직, 전기적 특성 등을 조사하였다. CrAlN 박막의 Si의 첨가는 크게 XRD 분석결과 주상 성장을 억제 할 수 있으며 SEM 분석을 통하여 Si 함량이 증가할수록 Si3N4 형성이 감소하며 입자크기가 작아짐을 확인하였다. 면저항의 경우 Si 함량이 증가함에 따라 높은 면저항을 나타내었으며 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 낮은 TCR 값인 3120.53 ppm/K값을 보였다. 이 값은 상용되고 있는 heater resistor보다 높지만, CrAlSiN 박막이 더 우수한 기계적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 hybrid heater resistor로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Since GNSS signals get blocked by buildings in urban canyons or narrow alleys, it is very difficult to secure a enough number of visible satellites for satellite navigation in those poor signal-reception environments. In those situations, one cannot get their coordinates or obtain accurate positions. In this study, a couple of strategies for improving positioning accuracy in urban canyons were developed and their performance was verified. First of all, we combined GPS and GLONASS measurements together and devised algorithms to quality-control observed signals and eliminate outliers. Also, a new multipath reduction scheme was applied to minimize its effect by utilizing SNR values of the observed signals. For performance verification of the developed technique, a narrow alley of 10m width located near the back gate of the Inha University was selected as the test-bed, and then we conducted static and kinematic positioning at four pre-surveyed points. We found that our new algorithms produced an 45% improvement in an open-sky environment compared with the positioning result of a low-cost u-blox receiver. In the alleys, 3-D accuracy improved by an average of 37%. In the case of kinematic positioning, especially, biases showing up in regular receivers got eliminated significantly through our new filtering algorithms.

최근 화석연료의 고갈과 환경 보전 및 에너지 절약에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 화석연료의 소비를 최소화하고 실내조건을 쾌적하게 유지하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 국내의 경우 전체 에너지 소비의 30%이상을 차지하고 있는 건물부문에서의 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 이에 따른 에너지절약 소재개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 1975년 이후 여러 차례에 걸친 단열강화 조치를 통해 건물에서의 에너지 소모를 줄이고 있었으나 건물의 외벽에 대한 사항으로 한정되어있었고, 또한 건물의 창 면적이 증가함에 따라 창을 통한 열손실량과 열획득량이 더욱 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 열반사유리에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 열반사유리는 근적외선(열선)영역의 빛을 반사시켜 실내의 열손실량 및 외부에서의 열획득량을 감소시켜 에너지의 소비를 줄일 수 있는 유리을 말한다. 이러한 열반사유리은 fresnel 방정식을 통해 빛의 파장대에 따른 반사율 및 투과도를 예측할 수 있는데, 다층박막구조인 Oxide-Metal-Oxide(OMO)구조는 Oxide의 높은 굴절률과 Metal의 낮은 굴절률을 통해 가시광영역대의 높은 투과도와 근적외선 영역의 높은 반사율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 Metal층을 삽입함으로서 flexible한 코팅이 가능하고, 높은 carrier density와 mobility로 표면 플라즈몬 공명을 통해 특정 파장대의 반사율을 높일 수 있으므로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. $TiO_2$는 고굴절률 및 낮은 광흡수성의 특성을 가지는 산화물반도체로 기존의 $In_2O_3$계 산화물에 비해 값이 싸고 높은 안정성과 광촉매특성을 보이므로 외부에 노출된 환경에 적합한 재료이다. Ag는 저굴절률과 낮은 광흡수성을 가지는 재료로 금속층에 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 fresnel 방정식을 통해 반사도 및 투과도를 예측하고 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 다층박막을 열선인 적외선 영역에서의 반사율 및 반사 효율을 평가하였다. Index-matching 시뮬레이션을 통해 $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ 다층박막의 투과도와 반사도를 이론적으로 검토하였다. 시뮬레이션 프로그램은 Macleod프로그램을 이용하였고 재료 각각의 굴절률은 Ellipsometry를 이용하여 측정하였다. 두께 40 nm 와 8 ~ 16 nm를 가지는 $TiO_2$층과 Ag층을 각각 RF/DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Glass기판 위에 증착하였다. 직경 3 in 의 $TiO_2$, Ag 소결체 타깃을 이용하였고 스퍼터링 파워는 각각 200 W, 50 W로 설정하였고, 스퍼터링 가스는 Ar가스의 유량을 20 sccm으로 설정하였다. 작업압력은 모두 1 Pa로 설정하였고 타깃 표면의 불순물 및 이물질 제거를 위해 Pre-sputtering을 10분 진행하였다. 박막의 두께는 reflectometer와 Alphastep을 이용하여 측정하였고 Hall effect measurement를 이용하여 비저항, carrier density, mobility등 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 또한 UV-VIS spectrometer와 USPM-RU-W NIR Micro-Spectrophotometer를 통해 광학적 특성을 측정하였고 계산 값과 비교분석하였다. 또한 열반사 특성을 평가하기 위해 직접 set-up한 장비를 이용하였다. 단열 박스에 샘플을 장착해 적외선 램프를 조사하였을 때의 열 반사효율을 평가하였고, IR Camera를 이용하여 단열 박스 내부의 온도 변화를 관찰하였다.

Working in the forest would require a wide range of skills and experience for specific tasks which involve with a high level of risks to worker's safety. However, there has been a concern on the current standard wage system for forest workers because it does not effectively reflect the characteristics of typical working conditions in the forest. In addition, the current standard wages for forestry workers was estimated based on the construction industry's wage system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess a current wage system through the mail survey method and to develop a new wage system for forest worker which effectively reflects skill sets and experience required for successful completion of the work in the forest. We mailed the survey questionnaire consisting of 19 questions to 659 forest workers and received 188 responses resulting in a 28.5% response rate. The results showed that the current average optimal wages of forest worker, special worker and feller were 97,680won/day, 127,559won/day and 152,403won/day, respectively though there were variations depending on the regions. In developing the new standard wage system, this study suggest the current work types(worker, special worker and feller) could be divided into 5 work types (forest-environment workers, forest operations in beginner, forest operations in intermediate, forest operations in advanced and forest equipment operator) reflecting specialty of forest operation thereby stabilizing the new wage system for forest workers.

Among the network information services combined with a number of security technologies and required security policies, Infrastructure as a Service, a hardware plat-form service of Cloud Computing, has been provided since 2011. It is more or less similar to the existing central concentration method services, in terms of the specifications and technical aspects for given hardware category, but it is entirely different from them in that it overcomes the spatial limitations of specific network and targets the public network. Information security technology has also been prospering so that it could ensure the stability of offered hardware plat-forms. As currently supported hardware, Internet Data Center has been provided by virtualizing the previously offered servers and discs (backup discs), but the hardware plat-forms offered are somewhat limited. Meanwhile, the areas of security fields for offered services are confined to the center or include the TCP/IP-based SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for the public network connected with clients, which shows that microscopic access security policies have been used. Therefore, this study was aimed to provide a realistic security mechanism for realizing defense policy, by expanding service areas into security devices and suggesting Diskless and Stateless security policy based high-speed synchronous network infrastructure.

The small-loop electromagnetic (EM) technique has been used successfully for many geophysical investigations, particularly for shallow engineering and environmental surveys. In conventional small loop EM operating at small induction numbers, geometric sounding has been widely used because the depth of penetration of EM energy depends only on the source-receiver separation. Recently developed small loop EM system, however, measures the secondary magnetic field, $H^S$, at multiple frequencies with a fixed source-receiver separation and frequency sounding is tried actively. In this study, we analyzed the behavior of in-phase and quadrature components of ${H^S}_z$, for horizonal coplanar (HCP) configuration over two-layer models. Through this theoretical analysis, it was found that the in-phase component of ${H^S}_z$ is more suitable for frequency sounding than the quadrature component. But, the in-phase component of ${H^S}_z$ is too small to measure, especially in resistive and noisy environment like Korea. Using the fact that the quadrature component is much greater than the in-phase component and the difference of quadrature component of ${H^S}_z$ measured at two frequencies shows the same behavoir as the in-phase component, we suggested an alternative frequency sounding technique. Also, we defined an apparent conductivity, which reflects well the conductivity of subsurface layers.

Epoxy resins are widely used in various fields due to their excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the epoxy composition after curing, various materials are mixed in the epoxy resin. Among the nano materials, CNT is the most widely used. However, CNT has limitations in terms of manufacturing process and manufacturing cost. Therefore, there is a growing interest in naturally occurring HNTs having similar structure to that of CNT. In this study, the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy compositions containing HNTs treated with two types of silane compounds were investigated. The mechanical properties of silane-treated HNT were measured by using a universal testing machine. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) were used to measure thermal properties. As a result of the above tests, when the HNT was surface-treated with aminosilane, the tensile strength of the epoxy composition containing the HNT was higher than that of the epoxy composition containing epoxy silane treated HNT. The linear thermal expansion coefficients (CTE) obtained from the thermomechanical analysis of the two epoxy compositions for the comparison of dimensional stability showed that the HNT composition treated with aminosilane showed a lower value of CTE than that of epoxy composition including the pristine HNT.

An electric wheelchair used to be utilized as a piece of equipment for the disabled and the elderly in the past, but the recent changes to its functions and forms have made it available across various fields and purposes. In this paper, we propose a continuous track type of electric wheelchair prototype to be used in various fields and environments and a monitoring system to control it. A frame stress design was applied to improve its stability during driving compared with the previous wheelchairs. In addition, we provide a convenience for free and easy operation of them using the App. based on android. A monitoring system based on C# was also added to control a large number of electric wheelchairs. As a result of the implementation and performance evaluation, the von Mises stress value was measured 4.401% within the normal range through five times of stress interpretations, and its accuracy of communication for system manipulation was recorded about 98.75%, which means that it has been proven to be safer than the previous wheelchairs.
