미생물연료전지는 미생물이 유기물을 분해하면서 전기를 발생시킨다. 미생물연료전지는 여러 분야로 응용이 가능하며 현재 생산되는 전력이 낮기 때문에 상용화가 되기 위해서는 미생물연료전지(MFC)의 전력을 증진시키는 방안 연구가 필요하다. 미생물연료전지(MFC)의 전력을 증진시키기 위해서는 산화, 환원전극에서의 활성화전압손실(Activation losses)과 저항전압손실(Ohmic losses)을 줄여야 하며 활성화전압손실과 저항전압손실의 정확한 측정과 이를 줄이기 위한 인자를 찾는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 H형태의 미생물연료전지(Microbial Fuel Cell, MFC)에서 전류차단법(Current interruption)을 이용하여 산화전극 및 환원전극에서의 활성화 전압손실과 저항전압손실을 측정하였다. H형태의 미생물연료전지에서 백금이 코팅된 전극(0.5 $mg/cm^2$; 10% Pt)을 환원전극으로 이용하였음에도 환원전극 전압손실이 산화전극 전압손실보다 4배 가량 큼을 알 수 있었다. 전류차단법(Current interruption)에 의하여 구한 저항전압손실 값(1146 ${\Omega}$) 과 impedance에 의하여 구한 내부저항(1167 ${\Omega}$)은 거의 일치하였다. 또한 산화, 환원전극 활성화 전압손실의 합은 전지(cell)의 활성화 전압손실과 일치하였다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of maximum muscle activation of lower extremity of facility dwelled elderly Hansen's disease after isometric trunk exercise for 12weeks. Methods:18 elderly Hansen's disease who isometric trunk exercise for 12weeks were recruited for this study. They were instructed to perform maximum muscle activation of lower extremity after exercise. and the subjects were divided into normal sensory group, sensory loss in left foot group, sensory loss in right foot group and sensory loss in both feet group, according to the sensory condition ability on their soles. Results : After exercise, Hamstring muscle increased significantly (p<.05), and activation of the rectus femoris muscle decreased with a significance (p<05). In terms of Post-hoc test for examining the difference in MVIC according to sensory condition, there was significant difference in the normal sensory group, sensory loss in right and left foot group of left hamstring muscle before the exercise(p=.01) and the normal sensory group, sensory loss in both feet group of right hamstring muscle before the exercise(p=.04). Conclusion : These results indicate that the maximum muscle activation was changed after isometric trunk exercise. it could be improved maximum muscle activation of lower extremity muscle after the exercise although there was sensory loss.

심층신경망은 임의의 함수를 근사화하는 방법으로 선형모델로 근사화한 후에 비선형 활성함수를 이용하여 추가적 근사화를 반복하는 근사화 방법이다. 이 과정에서 근사화의 성능 평가 방법은 손실함수를 이용한다. 기존 심층학습방법에서는 선형근사화 과정에서 손실함수를 고려한 근사화를 실행하고 있지만 활성함수를 사용하는 비선형 근사화 단계에서는 손실함수의 감소와 관계가 없는 비선형변환을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 활성함수에 활성함수의 크기를 변화시킬 수 있는 크기 파라메터와 활성함수의 위치를 변화시킬 수 있는 위치 파라미터를 도입한 파라메트릭 활성함수를 제안한다. 파라메트릭 활성함수를 도입함으로써 활성함수를 이용한 비선형 근사화의 성능을 개선시킬 수 있다. 각 은닉층에서 크기와 위치 파라미터들은 역전파 과정에서 파라미터들에 대한 손실함수의 1차 미분계수를 이용한 학습과정을 통해 손실함수 값을 최소화시키는 파라미터를 결정함으로써 심층신경망의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. MNIST 분류 문제와 XOR 문제를 통하여 파라메트릭 활성함수가 기존의 활성함수에 비해 우월한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

To evaluate the radiation degradation of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), radiation effects on EPR were investigated by using dielectric analysis and thermal-gravimetric analysis. Permittivity, loss factor, tan$\delta$, and thermal decomposition temperature were observed for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR. As the radiation dose was increased, the peak temperature of the loss factor and tans of EPR were increased and loss factor and tan$\delta$ at peak temperature were decreased. Activation energies were calculated using loss factor and thermal decomposition for ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated EPR as well. The trends of both calculated activation energies showed the same tendencies as radiation dose was increased.

This study focuses on the performance characteristics of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) using the AC impedance technique. The experiment was carried out to investigate the optimal operating conditions of PEMFC such as cell temperature, flow rate, humidified temperature and back-pressure. The fuel cell performance was analyzed by DC electronic-loader with constant voltage mode and expressed by voltage-current density. Additionally, AC impedance was measured to analysis of ohmic and activation loss and expressed by Nyquist plot. The results showed that the cell performance increased with increase of cell temperature, air flow rate, humidified temperature and backpressure. Also, the activation loss decreased as the increase of cell temperature, air flow rate, humidified temperature and backpressure.

Short pitch fibers were prepared from petroleum based isotropic precursor pitch by melt-blown technology. The pitch fibers were stabilized in oxidizing condition, followed by steam activations at various conditions. The fiber surface and pore structures of the activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were respectively characterized by using SEM and applying BET theory from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The weight loss of the oxidized fiber was proportional to activation temperature and activation time, independently. The adsorption isotherms of the nitrogen on the ACFs were constructed and analyzed to be as Type I consisting of micropores mainly. The specific surface area of the ACFs proportionally increased with the weight loss at a given activation temperature. The specific surface area was ranged 850~1900 $m^2/g$ with pores of narrow distribution in sizes. The average pore size was ranged 5.8~14.1 ${\AA}$ with the larger value from the more severe activation condition.

The reliability of 3D NAND flash memory cell is affected by the charge migration which can be divided into the vertical migration and the lateral migration. To clarify the difference of two migrations, the activation energy of the charge loss is extracted and compared in a conventional square device pattern and a new test pattern where the perimeter of the gate is exaggerated but the area is same. The charge loss is larger in the suggested test pattern and the activation energy is extracted to be 0.058 eV while the activation energy is 0.28 eV in the square pattern.

Performance changes of an anode-supported tubular SOFC including current collectors are analyzed at different current collecting methods using numerical simulation. From the two dimensional numerical model of the solid oxide fuel cell with nickel felts as anodic current collectors and silver wires as cathodic ones, the performance curves and the distributions of temperature, concentration, current density are obtained. Also, the voltage loss of the cell is divided into three parts: activation loss, concentration loss and ohmic loss. The results show that the performance change of the cell is dominantly influenced by the ohmic loss. Although the temperature and concentration distributions are different, the total activation loss and concentration loss are nearly same. And the ohmic loss is divided into each parts of the cell components. The ohmic loss of the anodic current collectorreaches about 60~80% of the cell's total ohmic loss. Therefore, the reduction of the ohmic loss of the anodic current collector is very important for stack power enhancement. It is also recommended that the load should be connected to the both ends of the anodic current collector.

In this study, the performance degradation of SOFC single cell caused by the delamination between a cathode and an electrolyte is investigated. As the delamination rate increases, the voltage sharply decreases due to the decrease of reaction sites and losses increase. The current is concentrated to the intact area so that the current density is increased and the ohmic loss and the activation loss become higher. Most part of loss is due to the ohmc loss of electrolyte.

고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 empirical equation의 역할이 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 polarization curve에서 activation loss, ohmic loss, mass transfer loss 영역을 분리하였고, 현재까지 개발된 model 중 Kim의 model과 Hao의 model을 선정하여 각 영역의 fitting을 시행하였다. 온도, 압력, 산소 농도 및 막 두께를 운전변수로 설정하여 조건 변화에 대한 각 loss의 변화를 비교하였다. 기존 model은 전반적으로 좋은 fitting 정확도를 보였지만, 분리된 loss 영역에서는 부정확한 fitting 결과를 보이기도 하였다. 연료전지 성능 예측의 정확도를 개선하기 위하여 converge coefficient를 도입한 새로운 model을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 model을 연료전지 성능 예측에 적용한 경우에 신뢰도 평가에서 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
