In chemical industry plants, the raw material, intermediate and final products can leak from unstable joints of flanges and valves as well as cracks of storage tanks. From the safety and economic standpoints, it is very important to understand whether leaks or not and leakage rate. The OGI(optical gas image) technique can tell gas leakages, but cannot give the leakage rate. Some special OGI devices can show the kind of gas in different color concentration in different darkness. Therefore the research on quantification of OGI is necessary. In this research, we have developed the practical method to quantify OGI of methane leakage. To estimate 3-dimensional gas leakages distribution from 2-dimensional OGI, the Monte Carlo Probability technique was applied. First the number of points in the area of width(2.54 cm) and length(2.54 cm) in OGI was counted. Total no of each experiment was compared with the measured flow rate. The correlation average between total points and measured flow rate was found to be 0.980. Reversely we estimated the leakage rate of OGI by use of the correlation table. The results showed good agreement between the estimation value and the measured value.

The application of more complex radiotherapy techniques using multileaf collimation (MLC), such as 3D conformal radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), has increased the significance of verifying leaf position and motion. Due to thier reliability and empirical robustness, quality assurance (QA) of MLC. However easy use and the ability to provide digital data of electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) have attracted attention to portal films as an alternatives to films for routine qualify assurance, despite concerns about their clinical feasibility, efficacy, and the cost to benefit ratio. In this study, we developed method for daily QA of MLC using electronic portal images (EPIs). EPID availability for routine QA was verified by comparing of the portal films, which were simultaneously obtained when radiation was delivered and known prescription input to MLC controller. Specially designed two-test patterns of dynamic MLC were applied for image acquisition. Quantitative off-line analysis using an edge detection algorithm enhanced the verification procedure as well as on-line qualitative visual assessment. In conclusion, the availability of EPI was enough for daily QA of MLC leaf position with the accuracy of portal films.

Monolithic three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-ICs) 구현 시 bonding 과정에서 발생되는 aluminum (Al) 이나 copper (Cu) 등의 interconnect metal의 확산, 열적 스트레스, 결함의 발생, 도펀트 재분포와 같은 문제들을 피하기 위해서는 저온 공정이 필수적이다. 지금까지는 polymer 기반의 bonding이나 Cu/Cu와 같은 metal 기반의 bonding 등과 같은 저온 bonding 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 이와 같은 bonding 공정들은 공정 시 void와 같은 문제가 발생하거나 공정을 위한 특수한 장비가 필수적이다. 반면, 두 물질의 합금을 이용해 녹는점을 낮추는 eutectic bonding 공정은 저온에서 공정이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 void의 발생 없이 강한 bonding 강도를 얻을 수 있다. Aluminum-germanium (Al-Ge) 및 aluminum-indium (Al-In) 등의 조합이 eutectic bonding에 이용되어 각각 $424^{\circ}C$ 및 $454^{\circ}C$의 저온 공정을 성취하였으나 여전히 $400^{\circ}C$이상의 eutectic 온도로 인해 3D-ICs의 구현 시에는 적용이 불가능하다. 이러한 metal 조합들에 비해 indium (In)과 tin (Sn)은 각각 $156^{\circ}C$ 및 $232^{\circ}C$로 굉장히 낮은 녹는점을 가지고 있기 때문에 In-Sn 조합은 약 $120^{\circ}C$ 정도의 상당히 낮은eutectic 온도를 갖는다. 따라서 본 연구팀은 In-Sn 조합을 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하에서monolithic 3D-IC 구현 시 사용될 eutectic bonding 공정을 개발하였다. 100 nm SiO2가 증착된 Si wafer 위에 50 nm Ti 및 410 nm In을 증착하고, 다른Si wafer 위에 50 nm Ti 및 500 nm Sn을 증착하였다. Ti는 adhesion 향상 및 diffusion barrier 역할을 위해 증착되었다. In과 Sn의 두께는 binary phase diagram을 통해 In-Sn의 eutectic 온도인 $120^{\circ}C$ 지점의 조성 비율인 48 at% Sn과 52 at% In에 해당되는 410 nm (In) 그리고 500 nm (Sn)로 결정되었다. Bonding은 Tbon-100 장비를 이용하여 $140^{\circ}C$, $170^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $200^{\circ}C$에서 2,000 N의 압력으로 진행되었으며 각각의 샘플들은 scanning electron microscope (SEM)을 통해 확인된 후, 접합 강도 테스트를 진행하였다. 추가로 bonding 층의 In 및 Sn 분포를 확인하기 위하여 Si wafer 위에 Ti/In/Sn/Ti를 차례로 증착시킨 뒤 bonding 조건과 같은 온도에서 열처리하고secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) profile 분석을 시행하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통하여 충분히 높은 접합 강도를 갖는 In-Sn eutectic bonding 공정을 $140^{\circ}C$의 낮은 공정온도에서 성공적으로 개발하였다.

열전재료는 열전현상을 가지고 있어 열전발전과 열선냉각이 가능하기 때분에 해저용, 우주용, 군사용의 특수 전원으로 이미 실용화되어있고, 반도체, 레이저 다이오드, 적외선 검출소자 등의 냉각기로 쓰여지고 있어 많은 연구자들이 이들 재료에 대한 연구에 관을 갖고 열전특성을 향상시키기 위하여 많은 연구를 진행하고 있다 이들 열전재료는 사용 온도구역에 따라 3종류로 구분하고 있으며, 실온부근의 저온 영역(20$0^{\circ}C$)이하에서는 $Bi_2Te_3$계 재료, 중온영역(20$0^{\circ}C$~50$0^{\circ}C$)에서sms (Pb,Ge) Te계 재료, 고온영역(50$0^{\circ}C$~lOoo$^{\circ}C$)에서는 Si-Ge계 Fe Si계 재료가 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실온에서 성능지수가 높은 Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$계 열전재료는 기존의 공법인 Zone melting법을 이용하는 경우 성능지수가 높으나, 단위정이 Rhombohedral 구조파 기저면(basal plane)에 벽개성이 있는 관계로 재료의 적지 않은 손실과 가공상의 어려움이 있다. 또한 사료전체에 걸쳐 화학적으로 균질한 고용체를 얻는 것도 어려운 문제점으보 부각되고 있디 따라서 이와같은 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 용질원자의 편석감소, 고용도의 증가, 균일 고용체 형성, 결정립의 미세화등의 장점이 있는 급속응고법을 본 연구에 응용하였다. 본 연구에서는 위에서와 같은 급속응고의 장점과 대량 가공이 능늪한 연간압출공정을 이용하여 제조된 분말을 성형화 하였다. 특히 열간압출 가공에 있어서 압축다이 각 변화는 재료의 소성유동에 매우 중요한 역하을 하게되며, 이와 갇은 소성유동은 본 재료의 열전특성에 중요한 영향을 미치는 C 면 배양에 중요한 역할을 한 것으 로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 압출다이 각도 변화에 따른 미세조직변화와 이들 조직이 강도와 열전특성에 미치는 영향을 석하고자 한다. 압출재의 미세조직은 XRD(X Ray Diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy)으로 분석하였으며, 열전특성인 Seebeck계수($\alpha$)와 전기비저항( $\rho$ )은 열전측정장치로, 기계적 강도는 MTS장비를 이용하여 이루어졌다. 또한 압축다이각도 변화에 따른 결정방위 해석은 모노크로미터가 장착된 X RD장비감 이용하여 분석되었다.

We have investigated the suitable measuring method and condition on the hardness testing for the earthenwares excavated from Poongnap mud castle in Hanseong Baekje period. The earthenwares which used on hardness testing have been classified according to Mohs hardness and external form and color. The Ultrasonic and Equotip testing method have used to the hardness testing on the surface of the earthenwares and the Rockwell and Micro-vickers testing methods have used to the hardness testing on the cross section of the earthenwares. As the results, the two methods applied to the surface of the earthenwares were very hard on the precise measurement and the measuring values were incompatible with the tendency classified according to Mohs hardness and external form and color. On the testing for the cross section of earthenware, the Rockwell-superficial hardness testing method was more suitable for the soft texture earthenware and highest reproducibility of the measuring value obtained at the test load and indentor are 15kgf and 1/16 “iron ball, respectively. The Micro-Vickers hardness testing method was suitable for the hard texture earthenware and highest reproducibility and accuracy of the measuring value obtained at the test load is 100gf. This results show strong possibility of progress on the classifying and comparing study for hardness of the earthenware and therefore active studies are expected on the field.

A 3 dimensional numerical analysis for shield TBM tunnel should take into account various characteristics of the shield TBM excavation, such as gap, tail void, segment installation, and backfill injection. However, analysis method considering excavation characteristics are generally mixed with various method, resulting in concern of consistency and reliability degradation of the analytical results. In this paper, a parametric study is carried out by using actually measured ground settlement data on various methods that can be used for 3 dimensional numerical analysis of shield TBM tunneling. As a result, we have analyzed and arranged an analytical method to predict similarly the behavior of ground settlement and tunnel face pressure at the design stage. Skin plate pressure, backfill pressure and soil model have been identified as the most significant influences on the ground settlement. The grout pressure model is considered to be applicable when there is no volume loss information on the excavated ground, such as seabed tunnels, or when it is important to identify the behavior around a tunnel, such as surface settlement as well as face pressure. And it is considered that designers can use these guidelines as a base material to perform a reasonable 3 dimensional numerical analysis that reflects the ground conditions and the features of the shield TBM tunneling.

In general, three types of fingerprints could be found at the crime scene: visible, plastic, and latent fingerprints. Examples of visible fingerprint include those made by blood, paint or ink. Plastic fingerprint are made from an impression of the finger on soft material as soap, wax, etc. Latent fingerprint are those of the invisible one to the human eye. Oil-contaminated fingerprints remained in the evidence, that are contaminated with the soybean oil, engine oil, lubricating oil or grease. Oil-contaminated fingerprints are special types of fingerprint evidence but the research for developing method regarding oil-contaminated fingerprints is a few. In this study, ultraviolet light source was employed for untreated oil-contaminated prints and the freeze-dry method with liquid nitrogen for freeze oil residue on the surfaces with sequence of developing oil-contaminated fingerprints with black and magnetic powders, cyanoacrylate (CA) fuming, Basic Yellow 40. The types of oil chosen for the experiment were soybean oil, LSA oil, engine oil and material surfaces selected for the experiment were glass, plastic aluminum plates. The aims of this study were to determine the appropriate developing methods for oil-contaminated fingerprints.

3D printing technology is a manufacturing process for products, in which polymer and metal materials are laminated to form structures. It is advantageous for manufacturing parts requiring a high degree of design freedom and functionality. In addition, it would be a suitable technology for the production of parts for railway vehicles in the future, due to the need to produce parts in small quantities. In order to fully exploit the advantages of 3D printing technology, it is necessary to consider the process characteristics during the design of the product. In this study, the redesign and manufacturing technology of the product considering the performance and process conditions were studied for the heat exchanger in the air compressor of railway vehicles, as a trial application of the 3D printing technique. First of all, the design concept to improve the performance of the heat exchanger was defined, and the design range was specified to satisfy the performance of the present heat exchanger analyzed experimentally. Then, the detailed design was revised considering the characteristics of the metal 3D printing process, such as the manufacturing restrictions and production time. Based on the final design, the product was fabricated by the 3D printing process using aluminum material, and it was confirmed that the dimensional accuracy was satisfied. The weight of the final product was reduced by 41% compared with the existing products. The results of this study will make it possible to develop an efficient product design process for 3D printing technology.

The relationship between diet diversity and nutrient intake was studied. Diet diversity, caloric intake and dietary nutrient density values were examined as contributors to the level of selected nutrients with the use of data obtained from 14-day dietary records of 60 college women. The subjects were grouped into quartiles on the basis of level of intake of each of the specific nutrients. The indexes of diet diversity were the number of different food items and Shannon & Weaver's diversity index. Differences in diet diversity were found among nutrients and indexes. In general, calorie and protein intake were more diverse, on the other hand, intake of vitamins A and C were less diverse. With the exception of calcium, iron, vitamin $B_1$, niacin and vitamin C, the number of food items increased at each quartile of intake of specific nutrients. It was concluded that for some nutrients(as with fat), the number of food items consumed may be useful in estimating nutrient intakes. For other nutrients(as with calcium), utilization of nutrient-specific diversity indexes is necessary. Increased nutrient intake was accompanied by increased caloric intake(except vitamins A and C) and dietary nutrient density for all nutrients.
