  • As the demand for petroleum resources increases, and oilfields on lands and in shallow-sea become exhausted, the areas for oil production are expanding to the deep sea and therefore technologies for flow assurance are coming into the highlight. In low temperature environment such as the deep sea, wax is accumulated and prevents stable oil production. Therefore, the development of flow assurance technologies is required. Wax is precipitated in crystalline form when the oil temperature decreases below the wax appearance temperature; it then accumulates on the inner walls of pipelines causing blockages. In particular, in subsea pipelines, which have a large surface contact area with the surrounding seawater, wax deposition problems are frequent. The internal tubular coating can effectively reduce wax deposition without pausing oil production when the coating is appropriately designed. This study carried out wax deposition tests on a number of internal tubular coatings under single flow conditions. The results were analyzed for the effects that the physical properties of the coatings had on wax deposition.

  • 이기종 네트워크들이 계층적인 구조로 결합되어 있는 오버레이 네트워크 환경에서 이동 단말(Mobile Terminal:MT)의 끊김없는 이동성 지원을 위해서는, 패킷 손실 및 호 단절 현상을 최소화할 수 있는 최적의 핸드오버 시점을 결정할 수 있어야 한다. 기존의 수직적 핸드오버 기법은, 단순히 MT의 위치 정보를 바탕으로 핸드오버 수행을 예측하고 결정하였다. 하지만 이 기법은, MT의 위치와 관계없이 네트워크의 과부하로 인한 패킷 손실 및 호 단절 현상이 발생할 수 있기 때문에, 네트워크의 과부하에 따른 핸드오버 시점을 간과하는 문제점을 노출하였다. 하루가 다르게 인터넷 트래픽이 급증하는 현실에서, 네트워크의 과부하를 고려하는 핸드오버 기법이 필요한 때이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MT의 위치와 네트워크의 부하를 모두 고려하여 핸드오버 시점을 결정할 수 있는 핸드오버 맵(Handover-Map:H-Map)의 개념을 제안한다. 그리고 핸드오버 동기화 현상을 최소화하기 위해 향상된 H-Map을 기반으로 차별화된 핸드오버 시점을 부여하는 VAH(Vertical handover on Advanced H-Map) 기법을 소개하고, 이의 성능을 기존기법과 비교한다.

  • Pancreatic lipase-inhibitory activity of the rhizome of Rhei Rhizoma and its antihyperlipidemic activity were measured. Rhei Rhizoma inhibited pancreatic lipase with $IC_{50}$ value of 6.5 mg/ml (triolein as a substrate). Rhei Rhizoma significantly inhibited serum TG level in corn oil feeding-induced mice, and serum TG and cholesterol in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. However, Rhei Rhizoma did not show the hypolipidemic activity in high cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. When in vitro pancreatic lipase-inhibitory and in vivo antihyperlipidemic activities of Whangryunhaedoktang (WT) and Chunghyuldan (CD), which is consisted of ingredients of WT and Rhei Rhizoma, were measured, CD exhibited more potent inhibitory activities than WT. Therefore these results suggest that antihyperlipidemic activity of Rhei Rhizoma and CD may be more or less originated from the inhibition of pancreatic lipase.

  • To evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemic effect of Brassica rapa L. and its major compound, $\beta$-sitosterol, the present study was undertaken, hypercholesterolemia was induced in rats with poloxamer-407, Triton WR-1339, 30% corn oil high cholesterol diet. The ethanol extract of Brassica rapa L. significantly decreased total cholesterol (TC), phospholipid, triglyceride at doses of 200 mg/kg, and $\beta$-sitosterol significantly exerted anti-hyperlipidemic activity at a dose of 15 mg/kg in rats with hyperlipidemia. Taken together, Brassica rapa L. and $\beta$-sitosterol can be useful agents for the prevention or treatment of hyperlipidemia.

  • Anti-hyperlipidemic effect of red ginseng (RG; the steamed root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and Crataegii fructus (CF, the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida BGE), which are used frequently in China and Korea as herbal medicines to treat arteriosclerosis, were investigated. Treatments of RG and CF significantly reduced blood triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice and serum TG levels in corn oil-induced hypertriglyceridemic mice. Ginsenoside Rg3 and ursolic acid, the main constituents of RG and CF, respectively, also reduced TG and TC levels in hyperlipidemic mice. RG and CF significantly lowered the high blood TG and TC levels and body and epididymal mass weights induced by long-term feeding of a high-fat diet and increased the high-fat diet-induced decrease in blood HDL cholesterol levels. RG and Rg3 reduced the blood TC levels more than CF and ursolic acid. However, blood TG level were reduced by CF and ursolic acid more than RG and Rg3. RG, CF, and their constituents also inhibited pancreatic lipase and HMG-CoA reductase activities. The most potent inhibitor was Rg3. These findings suggest that RG and CF may be suitable for the therapies of hypercholesterolemia and triglyceridemia, respectively.

  • A hydro-geomorphologic change in a sand bed channel reach and vegetation expansion by changes in the How regime is analyzed in this study. Field and aerial photo surveys, basic hydrological analysis about flow regime change due to two dams, Andong Dam and Imha Dam, on the upstream river and computer modeling are conducted. Two Dams in the study reach have obviously affected downstream channel in many ways including the bed particle coarsening, vegetation expansion on the sandbars and following river channel braiding. The phenomenon of no vegetation on the large point bar in front of Hahwe Village seems due to disturbance of the sandbar surface probably due to the cross flow in the meander reach during the flood. Another reason for no vegetation is that the sandbar on this reach has lower subsurface water lovels, as compared with the others in the up- and downstream of the reach where vegetation expanded, which would hinder vegetation from germinating and growing on the sandbar.

  • 2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase, which catalyzes aldol cleavage and condensation reactions, has two distinct substrate-binding sites. The substrate-binding mode at the catalytic site and Schiff-base formation have been well studied. However, structural information on the phosphate-binding loop (P-loop) is limited. Zymomonas mobilis KDPG aldolase is one of the aldolases with a wide substrate spectrum. Its structure in complex with the substrate-mimicking 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) shows that the phosphate moiety of 3PG interacts with the P-loop and a nearby conserved serine residue. 3PG-binding to the P-loop replaces water molecules aligned from the P-loop to the catalytic site, as observed in the apostructure. The extra electron density near the P-loop and comparison with other aldolases suggest the diversity and flexibility of the serine-containing loop among KDPG aldolases. These structural data may help to understand the substrate-binding mode and the broad substrate specificity of the Zymomonas KDPG aldolase.

  • For a commonly used piezocone with a shoulder filter element, dilatory dissipation behavior, which shows an initial temporary increase in pore pressure, has been observed in overconsolidated cohesive soils. However, there is no appropriate way to estimate a consolidation parameter from a dilatory dissipation curve because currently available interpretation methods were developed based on the monotonic decrease of the excess pore pressure. In this study, the interpretation method for evaluation of coefficient of consolidation from a dilatory dissipation result of piezocone test was developed by performing the finite difference analysis on the dissipation after cone penetration. The distribution of the initial excess pore pressure induced by cone penetration, which is the core of the analysis, was estimated from the empirical modification of a solution proposed by cavity expansion theory and critical state concept. And the proposed interpretation method was applied to the field piezocone data and the results were compared to those obtained from laboratory tests. Its reliability was confirmed by the insignificant difference between the values of coefficient of consolidation from piezocone tests and laboratory consolidation tests.

  • 일반적으로 저압계통의 고장전류를 차단하기 위해서, 기중차단기(LVPCB, ACB), 배선용차단기 등을 사용하고 있는데, 저압차단기는 저압계통의 고장전류를 차단할 수 있으나, 고장전류를 효과적으로 제한하지 못하며, 차단기 내부의 아킹시간이 상대적으로 길므로, 저압차단기는 물론 주변 전력기기에 전기적/열적/기계적 스트레스를 주게 된다. 또한 지속적인 부하의 증가로 인해 저압계통의 단락전류는 점점 증가하는 추세에 있으므로 저압계통은 물론 고압계통에서도 고장전류를 보다 빠르고 효과적으로 제한 및 차단을 할 수 있는 한류형 차단기가 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정온도계수(PTC, Positive Temperature Coefficient) 특성을 가지는 소자를 이용하여 저압계통에 적용가능한 한류소자를 개발하였으며, 기존 차단기에 직렬 혹은 병렬로 연결하여 저압계통의 고장전류를 매우 빠르고 효과적으로 제한 및 차단할 수 있으며, 아울러 저압계통의 차단보호 협조를 효과적으로 구현할 수 있는 한류형 차단기를 제안하였다. 한류소자를 전력기기에 적용하는 방법은 크게 기존 차단기와 직렬로 연결되는 방식과 기존 차단기를 수정하여 차단기 내부의 접점과 비직렬 연결되는 방식으로 구분 할 수 있는데, 본 논문에서는 직렬방식/비직렬방식으로 기존 차단기에 한류소자를 적용항에 있어서 대응가능한 대전류 PTC소자를 개발하였으며, 또한 각 방안에 대한 시제품을 제작하여 제한 성능을 검증하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 이종 차원 나노선과 나노입자의 결합에 따른 단일 나노선 소자의 전기적 특성 및 메모리 효과를 연구하였다. 열증착법으로 성장 된 p 형 Si 나노선에 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) 방법으로 10nm의 $Al_{2}O_{3}$를 증착한 후 Low Precensure - Chemical Vapor Deposition (LP-CVD)를 이용하여 Polycrystalline Sicon(Poly-Si)을 Si 나노선 위에 5nm 증착하고 습식 에칭법을 이용하여 poly Si 내의 $SiO_x$를 제거하여 Si 나노입자를 Si 나노선 위에 형성시켰다. 그 후 포토리소그래피 공정을 이용하여 Top gate 형태의 나노선-나노입자 이종결합 Field-Effect Transistor (FET) 소자를 제작하여 게이트 전압에 따른 드레인 전류-전압($I_{DS}-V_{DS}$)의 변화를 측정하여 나노선의 전기 소자로서의 특성을 확인하고, 게이트 전압을 양방향으로 swing 하면서 인가하여 $I_{DS}$ 전류 특성이 변화하는 것을 통해 메모리 효과를 조사하였다. 또한 나노입자의 결합이 게이트 전압의 인가 시간에 따라 드레인 전류에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하여 메모리 소자로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.
