  • In this study, in order to increase solid content of coal water fuel (CWF), various experimental parameters (i.e., coal type, additive, particle size distribution, drying method) were evaluated. To investigate the drying method, specimen is compared to using flash dry, fluidized bed dry and oil deposit stabilized coal. Difference of the solid content between low rank coal and high rank coal in this case indicate that high rank coal exhibits more higher than 20% of the solid cotent. And specimen for dispersibility was prepared by using dispersing agent of 4 types. As a result, using the dispersing agent was shown 5% higher in sold content than the case of not using the dispersing agent. Efficiency of CWF was improved by using fine coal of 80% in the particle size distribution of coal. Result of CWF using drying methods of 3 types, oil deposit stabilized (ODS) coal dried and stabilized was effective 12% higher in sold content than raw coal.

  • The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Corni fructus extracts (CEF, EtOAc extraction; CBF, buthanol extraction; CWF, water extraction) were investigated. The total phenolics of CEF (173.3 mg TAE/g) were significantly higher than those of CWF (26.7 mg TAE/g) and CBF (94.8 mg TAE/g). DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity of CEF (DPPH: $RH_{50}$; $25.1{\mu}g/mL$, ABTS: $RC_{50}$; $36.1{\mu}g/mL$) showed even higher than that of BHA and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ used as positive control. All three Corni fructus extracts in the concentration of $1{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$ were effective inhibitors of NO and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$). NO production was inhibited 71.3~92.2% by CEF, 76.8~85.5% by CBF and 74.4~96.9% by CWF, respectively. CEF, CBF and CWF ($1{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$) inhibited also pro-inflammatory cytokines like $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 very effectively. $TNF-{\alpha}$ was inhibited up to 51.2% by CWF and $IL-1{\beta}$ was inhibited up to 67.1% by CEF. IL-6 was best inhibited by CEF up to 58.9%. This study suggested the potential of Corni fructus for use as an excellent antioxidant substance and inflammatory inhibiting mediators. Therefore CEF, CBF and CWF Corni fructus extracts may be used for therapeutic approach to various inflammatory diseases.

  • The theoretical background and capabilities of the developed program, SAR-CWF, for stochastic analysis of 3D reinforced-concrete shear wall-frame structures subject to seismic excitations is presented. Incremental stiffness and strength properties of system members are modeled by extended Roufaiel-Meyer hysteretic relation for bending while shear deformations for walls by Origin-Oriented hysteretic model. For the critical height of shear-walls, division to sub-elements is performed. Different yield capacities with respect to positive and negative bending, finite extensions of plastic hinges and P-${\delta}$ effects are considered while strength deterioration is controlled by accumulated hysteretic energy. Simulated strong motions are obtained from a Gaussian white-noise filtered through Kanai-Tajimi filter. Dynamic equations of motion for the system are formed according to constitutive and compatibility relations and then inserted into equivalent It$\hat{o}$-Stratonovich stochastic differential equations. A system reduction scheme based on the series expansion of eigen-modes of the undamaged structure is implemented. Time histories of seismic response statistics are obtained by utilizing the computer programs developed for different types of structures.

  • 본 논문에서는 컬러코드를 이용하여 증강현실 시스템에 사용 가능한 태그를 탐지하는 알고리즘을 설계하고 차단 현상에 강인한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 기존의 ARToolkit에서 태그의 일부분이 사용자 또는 다른 물체에 의해 가려지게 될 경우 증강되었던 객체가 순간 사라져 버리는 불안정성 (Instability) 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법에 초점을 맞춘다. 불안정성의 문제는 이미지 안에 태그가 존재하지만 해당하는 객체를 증강시키지 못하는 False Negative 에러와 태그가 존재하지 않는 곳에 잘못된 객체를 증강시키는 False Positive 에러로 분류 될 수 있다. 제안된 탐지 알고리즘으로 특정 컬러 영역을 분리하여 모서리 여부를 판별하고 모서리인 경우 가려진 꼭지점의 위치를 추출하여 태그가 차단에 의하여 가려졌을 때에도 객체를 안정적으로 증강시킬 수 있다. 기존 AR 시스템들의 태그를 가지고 Daylight 65, Illuminant A. CWF, TL84의 4가지의 표준 조명하에 컬러코드 4종류, ARToolkit 태그 4개, ARTag 4개를 이용하여 실험을 진행하여 차단 현상이 발생하면 전혀 객체를 증강시킬 수 없었던 ARToolkit에서도 DayLight65의 경우 50%의 False Negative. False Positive rate을 보여 기존 증강현실 시스템에서 보였던 불안정성 문제를 개선하였다.

  • Given the increasing of adoption of use of Mobile Wireless Technology(MWT), this study aims at investigating the key influencing determinants of individuals' MWT adoption and use. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM), the research model proposed new constructs and casual relations, Perceived Safety(PS), Perceived Costs(PC), Company's Willingness to Fund(CWF), and Experience(E) as a moderator. The model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) using AMOS 5.0 analysis on the sample collected from 387 MBA and Executive MBA students of several domestic and foreign universities. The results show that not only the variables, except Perceived Usefulness, in the original TAM model, but also new variables in the research model had a significant influence on other variables. The implications of the findings suggest a new theoretical framework for future IS/IT research and offers suggestions that the developers of MWT should consider regarding the technology

  • This study is aimed to investigate the US code and European code on the evaluation of fuel economy of natural gas vehicles and deduce the formula suitable for domestic natural gas fuel. The fuel consumption formula have been derived by carbon balance relation between fuel composition and exhaust emission. The US code does not limit the composition of the test gas, but European code should be used the reference gases such as G20 and G23. In the case of NGV using domestic city gas, it is confirmed that the fuel economy determined by European code is 12% worse than that of US code because of difference of test gas. Also, a method of determining the fuel properties from the calorific value is proposed to evaluate the fuel economy of natural gas vehicles.
