We performed 3-D (3-dimensional) IVR (In-Vessel Retention) natural convection experiments simulating the oxide layer in the three-layer configuration, varying the aspect ratio (H/R). Mass transfer experiment was conducted based on the analogy to achieve high Ra_H's of 1.99 × 10¹²-6.90 × 10¹³ with compact facilities. Comparisons with 2-D (2-dimensional) experiments revealed different local heat transfer characteristics on upper and lower boundaries of the oxide layer depending on the H/R. For the 3-D shallow oxide layer, the multi-cell flow patterns appeared and the number of cells was considerably increased with the H/R decreases, which differs with the 2-D experiments that the number of cells was independent on H/R. Thus, the enhancement of the downward heat transfer and the mitigation of the focusing effect were more noticeable in the 3-D experiments.

In this paper, we propose a 3D conversion algorithm of 2D video using depth layer partition method. In the proposed algorithm, we first set frame groups using cut detection algorithm. Each divided frame groups will reduce the possibility of error propagation in the process of motion estimation. Depth image generation is the core technique in 2D/3D conversion algorithm. Therefore, we use two depth map generation algorithms. In the first, segmentation and motion information are used, and in the other, edge directional histogram is used. After applying depth layer partition algorithm which separates objects(foreground) and the background from the original image, the extracted two depth maps are properly merged. Through experiments, we verify that the proposed algorithm generates reliable depth map and good conversion results.

In this research, the effect of bedding layer on the tensile failure mechanism of rocks has been investigated using PFC2D. For this purpose, firstly calibration of PFC2d was performed using Brazilian tensile strength. Secondly Brazilian test was performed on the bedding layer. Thickness of layers were 5 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm. in each thickness layer, layer angles changes from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with increment of $15^{\circ}$. Totally, 21 model were simulated and tested by loading rate of 0.016 mm/s. The results show that when layer angle is less than 15, tensile cracks initiates between the layers and propagate till coalesce with model boundary. Its trace is too high. With increasing the layer angle, less layer mobilizes in failure process. Also, the failure trace is very short. It's to be noted that number of cracks decrease with increasing the layer thickness. Also, Brazilian tensile strength is minimum when bedding layer angle is between $45^{\circ}$ and $75^{\circ}$. The maximum one is related to layer angle of $90^{\circ}$.

Rapid Prototyping(RP)이란 3차원 솔리드 모델을 단면화한 뒤 하나씩 적층하는 가공방식을 총칭한다. 이때 단면화하는 방법에 따라서 uniform, adaptive slicing으로 나뉘며, 입력 모델에 따라서 direct slicing과 STL을 이용한 방식으로 나뉜다. 적층 방법에 따라서는 연속된 2D 윤곽을 기반으로 적층하는 vertical layer 방식과 인접한 두 개의 2D 윤곽들을 연결하며 만들어진 3D layer를 기반으로 가공하는 sloping layer방식으로 나뉠 수 있다. 현재 상용 RP 시스템들에서는 거의 모든 경우 vertical layer 방식이 채택되어 사용되고 있다. RP와 절삭 공정, 예를 들면 CNC 밀링의 장점을 효율적으로 결합하기 위해서는 임의의 복잡한 형상을 갖는 솔리드 모델을 정밀도에 제한이 없이 제조할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 절삭 공정은 특별한 전문적 지식들을 필요로 한다 또한 상용 RP에서 사용하는 순차적인 적층 작업으로는 가공할 수 없는 형상들이 많다. 대표적인 것으로 지지대를 필요로 하는 형상들이 있다. 이러한 형상들을 지원하기 위해서는 복잡한 3D 형상을 절삭 가능한 형식으로 분할하는 것과 적층 가능한 순서대로 공정 계획하는 것이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SDM에서 제시된 3D 분할 방법이 솔리드 모델을 기반으로 전개되어 STL file과 같은 삼각다면체 형식으로 근사화된 모델에 적용하기 어렵다는데 착안하여 STL file에서 읽어들인 삼각 다면체 모델을 가공 가능한 3D 형상으로 분할하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

In a device-to-device (D2D) underlaid cellular network, there exist two types of co-channel interference. One type is inter-layer interference caused by spectrum reuse between D2D transmitters and cellular users (CUEs). Another type is intra-layer interference caused by spectrum sharing among D2D pairs. To mitigate the inter-layer interference, we first derive the interference limited area (ILA) to protect the coverage probability of cellular users by modeling D2D users' location as a Poisson point process, where a D2D transmitter is allowed to reuse the spectrum of the CUE only if the D2D transmitter is outside the ILA of the CUE. To coordinate the intra-layer interference, the spectrum sharing criterion of D2D pairs is derived based on the (signal-to-interference ratio) SIR requirement of D2D communication. Based on this criterion, D2D pairs are allowed to share the spectrum when one D2D pair is far from another sufficiently. Furthermore, to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, a resource allocation scheme is proposed according to weighted graph coloring theory and the proposed ILA restriction. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme provides significant performance gains over the conventional scheme and the random allocation scheme.

We present an experimental investigation of the superconducting transition temperatures, $T_c$, of superconductor/ferromagnet bilayers with varying the thickness of ferromagnetic layer. FeN was used for the ferromagnetic (F) layer, and NbN and Nb were used for the superconducting (S) layer. The results were obtained using three different-thickness series of the S layer of the S/F bilayers: NbN/FeN with NbN thickness, $d_{NbN}{\approx}9.3nm$ and $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$, and Nb/FeN with Nb thickness $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$. $T_c$ drops sharply with increasing thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, $d_{FeN}$, before maximal suppression of superconductivity at $d_{FeN}{\approx}6.3nm$ for $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$ and at $d_{FeN}{\approx}2.5nm$ for $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$, respectively. After shallow minimum of $T_c$, a weak $T_c$ oscillation was observed in NbN/FeN bilayers, but it was hardly observable in Nb/FeN bilayers.

Traditional circuit partitioning algorithm using the cluster development method, which is suitable for such applications as single chip floor planning or multiple layer PCB system placement, where the clusters are formed so that inter-cluster nets are localized within the I/O connector pins, may not be appropriate for the functiona block placement in truly 3-D electronic modules. 3-D hybrid IC is one such example where the inter-layer routing as well as the intra-layer routing can be maximally incorporated to reduce the overall circuit size, cooling requirements and to improve the speed performance. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm called MBE(Minimum Box Embedding) for the layer assignment of each functional block in 3-D hybrid IC design. The sequence of MBE is as follows` i) force-directed relaxation in 3-D space, ii) exhaustive search for the optimal orientation of the slicing plane and iii) layer assignment. The algorithm is first explaines for a 2-D reduced problem, and then extended for 3-D applications. An example result for a circuit consisting of 80 blocks has been shown.

A study on the characteristics of phosphorus sedimentation in Nakdong Estuary Barrage was conducted in June and July, 1989. Cylindric type sediment trap was designed for collecting of downward material. Downward flux and settling velocity of downward material were $296g/m^2/d$, 1.25m/hr in mid-layer and $955g/m^2/d$, 3.31m/hr in bottom-layer, respectively Downward flux and settling velocity of phosphorus were $0.64g/m^2/d$, 0.85m/hr in mid-layer and $1.97g/m^2/d$, 1.89m/hr in bottom-layer, respectively. Fractional composition of organic phophorus in downward material was $51.9\%$ in mid-layer water and $48.3\%$ in bottom-layer water. According to the result of this study, sedimentation of phosphorus plays an important role as a sinking effect in Nakdong Estuary Barrage.

The underwater observation of the ambient noise and the noise generated by the engine revolution in a ship was carried out in July to August, 1984, 1985 and 1987, near around some ports and in the Eastern Sea of Korea. Vertical distribution of the sound pressure of both noises were observed and the spectrum characteristics were analysed and compared. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Sound pressure level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer in calm sea condition (wind speed 0-2m/s) near around the ports were observed as 108dB at the eastern part of Pusan port, 106dB at the southern part of Pusan port and 101dB at Kuryongpo port. It shows that the level near around the large port which contains much noisy resources is higher than the small port. The level at 5m deep layer in the open sea, in the mid-region between Korean Peninsula and Ulnung Island was observed as 100dB. It mean that the level in the open sea is lower than that around the ports. The level at 20m and 70m deep layer were 1-2dB lower than that at 5m deep layer, and that at deeper layer than 100m was almost constantly 100dB around. 2. Sound pressure level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer in windy open sea condition (wind speed 10-15m/s) was 108dB, and was gradually decreased in accordance with the increase of depth with representing 100dB at 70m deep layer and that at deeper layer was almost constantly 100dB. The level of the noise generated by engine revolution was 146, 125, 112, 110, 104dB at 5, 50, 100, 150 and 200m deep layer respectively. It means that the level decrease with the depth. 3. Spectrum level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer with the frequency band of 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 KHz, 10 KHz, in the windy sea condition were 86, 75, 61, 32dB respectively and the level of the noise generated by engine revolution was 105, 95, 86, 55dB respectively. It means that the latter are about 20dB higher than the former. The level of the former at 200m deep layer was 80, 68, 47, 26dB and the latter 82, 70, 59, 31dB. It means that the latter are about 4dB higher than the former.

The anodic $TiO_2$ layers which are prepared in various anodization conditions exhibit their specific color depending on the thickness of $TiO_2$. In this study, the relationship between the color of $TiO_2$ layer, which is grown by PEO (Plasma electrolytic oxidation), and the thickness of the $TiO_2$ layer is investigated. To evaluate the color change of the $TiO_2$ layer, the value of color ($dE^*ab$) is measured and calculated by spectrophotometer and chromameter. As a result, it is found that $dE^*ab$ values and thickness of $TiO_2$ layers form a linear relationship with meaningful formular. This formula can be helpful to quantify the thickness of the $TiO_2$ layer by the numerical $dE^*ab$ values. In this process, the spectrophotometer shows more precise results than the chromameter dose. If fluoride ions ($F^-$) are included in the electrolyte, it will affect the $dE^*ab$ values of the $TiO_2$. layer. This is against the propensity, which is analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). It is important that the formular suggested in this study provides other metals which can be also anodized with the possibility of quantifying the thickness of the $TiO_2$ layer by the $dE^*ab$ values.
