본 논문에서는 보조 스위치의 하드 스위칭 문제를 개선한 AC/DC PFC(Power-Factor-Correction) ZVT(Zero-Voltage-Transition) Boost 컨버터에 관하여 논하였다. 기존의 AC/DC PFC ZVT Boost 컨버터는 주 스위치 턴온 시 보조 스위치를 함께 동작시켜 경부하시에도 강제적으로 영전압 스위칭이 가능하게 함으로써 전 부하범위에서 주 스위치 손실을 저감하였다. 그러나 보조 스위치에서의 손실이 크며 주 스위치의 턴온시 역방향 전류가 증가하는 문제점을 지닌다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 ZVT 컨버터에 단지 하나의 다이오드를 추가함으로써 보조 스위치의 전류 스트레스 및 주 스위치의 턴온시 역방향 전류를 감소시키게 되어 효율 향상을 기할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 MOSFET를 사용하여 640[W]급 시작품을 제작, 100[kHz]에서 실험하였다.

An interleaved bridgeless buck-boost AC/DC converter is presented in this paper to achieve the characteristics of low conduction loss, a high power factor and low harmonic and ripple currents. There are only two power semiconductors in the line current path instead of the three power semiconductors in a conventional boost AC/DC converter. A buck-boost converter operated in the boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to control the active switches to achieve the following characteristics: no diode reverse recovery problem, zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off of the rectifier diodes, ZCS turn-on of the power switches, and a low DC bus voltage to reduce the voltage stress of the MOSFETs in the second DC/DC converter. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to control the switches such that the input and output ripple currents are reduced such that the output capacitance can be reduced. The voltage doubler topology is adopted to double the output voltage in order to extend the useable energy of the capacitor when the line voltage is off. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and a design example are discussed and presented in detail. Finally, experiments on a 500W prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper investigates a new isolated single-phase AC-DC converter, which integrates a modified AC-DC buck-boost converter with a DC-DC forward converter. The front semi-stage is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to achieve an almost unity power factor and a low total harmonic distortion of the input current. The rear semi-stage is used for step-down voltage conversion and electrical isolation. The front semi-stage uses a coupled inductor with the same winding-turn in the primary and secondary sides, which is charged in series during the switch-on period and is discharged in parallel during the switch-off period. The discharging time can be shortened. In other words, the duty ratio can be extended. This semi-stage can be operated in a larger duty-ratio range than the conventional AC-DC buck-boost converter for DCM operation. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for universal input voltage (90~264 $V_{rms}$) and a wide output-power range. Moreover, the voltage stress on the DC-link capacitor is low. Finally, a prototype circuit is implemented to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

In a numerical study, equations relating the mechanical properties and cooling rate in a casting process have been applied to an AC4CH cast aluminum alloy. Good agreement was found between the measured and predicted material properties. Step-shaped steel blocks were made to comprise a casting mold with a Y-shaped cavity. Thermometers were inserted into each step of the mold to investigate temperature changes. The microstructure and mechanical properties, such as hardness and tensile stress were measured for each cut of piece. The correlation between the cooling rate and SDAS was found by curved fitting. Moreover, both the solidification time and the temperature were simulated using a commercial package, ZCast. The simulation results for yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and hardness were compared with experimental results. Using the estimated K and n values, the hardness values of a ship propeller were simulated, and the results were similar to those obtained for actual castings.

노루궁뎅이 버섯균사체(Hericium erinaceum)를 인진쑥(Artemisia capillaris)에 배양하여 조제한 AC-HE 열수 추출물이 생체고분자의 산화적 손상과 세포사멸을 보호할 수 있는 지를 관찰하였다. AC-HE의 항산화 활성을 DPPH radical, ABTS radical, peroxyl radical 소거활성 측정을 통해 알아보았다. 그 결과 DPPH radical 소거활성은 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 61.73%, ABTS radical 소거활성은 $250{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 97.39%, peroxyl radical 소거활성은 $100{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 44.18%로 나타났다. AC-HE은 DNA의 산화적 손상을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 또한 생체고분자물질인 사람의 혈청단백질의 산화적 손상을 억제하였다. 세포에 $H_2O_2$를 처리하였을 때 세포생존율에 비하여 발효물을 $100{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 전 처리한 세포생존율은 11.47% 증가했으며, 발효물을 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리했을 경우 세포내 ROS의 축적이 유의적으로 감소되었다. 따라서 AC-HE은 항산화 활성뿐만 아니라 산화적 스트레스에 의해 야기되는 세포 독성에 대한 보호 작용이 뛰어난 것으로 사료되었다.

This study aims to investigate how easy pedestrians get around within/through the "Apartment Complexes (AC), " a common style of high-rise multi-family housing in Korea. Over the past six decades, the AC has been the most conventional way to provide standardized housing efficiently to address the problems of the shortage of housing and the substandard housing, due to the explosion of urban population with the rapid industrialization. The AC is a huge chunk of homeogenous multi-family housing, mostly condos with decent infrastructure, including parks, pedestrian passages, schools, ect. Both in the new town development and urban renewal programs have utilized the advantages of the AC. Since the design principals of AC tend to adopt the "protective design" to prevent cars and pedestrians coming outside from passing it, it has been criticised for dissecting the continuity of socioeconomic context in neighborhoods. The neo-traditional planning urbanists, including Jane Jacobs, emphasize that smaller blocks and grid road newtworks are the key in improving social, cultural, and economic vitality of the neighborhoods, because these design concepts allow more pedestrians and different types of people to be mixed in a neighborhood. In this study, we first adopted objective measures for pedestrian accessibility and pedestrian efficiency. These measures were used to calculate the lengths of shortest paths from residential buildings to the edges of AC. We tested the difference in shortest paths between the current pedestrian networks of AC and hypothetical grid networks on the AC, and the relative difference is considered as the pedestrian efficiency, using the network analysis function of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Python programming. We found from the randomly selected 30 ACs that the existing non-grid road networks in ACs are worse than the hypothesized grid networks, in terms of pedestrian efficiency. In average, pedestrians in AC with the conventional road networks have to walk than 25%, 26%, and 27% longer than the networks of $125{\times}45m$, $100{\times}45m$, and $75{\times}45m$, respectively. With the t-test analysis, we found the pedestrian efficiency of AC with the conventional network is lower than grid-networks. Many new urbanists stress, easiness of walking is one of the most import elements for community building and social bonds. With the findings from the objective measures of pedestrian accessibility and efficiency, the AC would have limitations to attract people outside into the AC itself, which would increase dis-connectivity with adjacent areas.

전통목조건축물의 단청에서 발생하는 도막의 박리현상을 개선시키기 위해, 목재의 친수성으로 인해 목재와 도막간의 팽윤수축률의 차이에 의해 발생되는 응력이 도막의 내후성에 미치는 영향을, 도막의 기계적 성질(인장성질과 응력완화)과 교착제(아교, 아크릴에멀젼(Primal AC-3444), 아크릴수지 (Paraloid B-72))에 의한 포수방법으로부터 평가하였다. 아크릴에멀젼 도막은, 아크릴에멀젼의 유리전이온도가 상온 이하$(7^{\circ}C)$로써 외력에 대한 응력완화가 큰 성질을 가지고 있기 때문에, 열화촉진실험과 옥외폭로실험에서 박리가 발생하지 않았으며, 다른 교착제를 사용한 도막에 비해 내후성이 가장 뛰어났다. 또 목재에 교착제를 저농도에서 고농도까지 중복칠하는 포수방법이 다른 포수방법들보다 도막의 내후성을 향상시키는 효과가 있었다.

Barkhausen noise (BN) is created by the abrupt changes in the magnetization of materials under applied AC magnetizing field. These changes are known to be sensitive to residual and applied stresses. In this study, BN theory was reviewed and it was examined how BN intensity was affected by simultaneous stress, hardness and microstructural changes. Also, magnetoelastic effect was used to evaluate residual stresses through carrying out the cantilever beam test. An increase in BN intensity was observed when applied and residual stress changes from compression into tension. Microstructural softening by tempering also increased the amount of BN. Therefore, the quantitative evaluation of residual stress and microstructural changes will be possible, provided BN method is more studied about various materials through comparing with different stress measuring techniques.
