We have fabricated $_2Cu_3O_7$ step-edge junctions with different step orientations and studied their transition properties. Steps with different orientations were prepared on the substrate. Josephson junctions were made on a single substrate with step orientations ranging from 0$^{\circ}$ to 165$^{\circ}$ at 15$^{\circ}$ interval. We measured current-voltage characteristics, the critical current, and the superconducting transition temperature as a function of the angle. The critical current showed a modulation that has a maximum near 0$^{\circ}$ or 90$^{\circ}$ and a minimum near 45$^{\circ}$ and 135$^{\circ}$. We believe that the critical current modulation with the step orientation could be associated with the symmetry of high T$_c$ superconductor.

The critical micelle concentrations of decylpyridinium chloride in aqueous solutions have been determined by the electrical conductance measurements in the range of $10^{\circ}C$-$50^{\circ}C$. The temperature variation of the critical micelle concentrations has shown the minimum at the vicinity of $15^{\circ}C$. The Clausius-Clapeyron type equation of log (c.m.c.) versus temperature has been established. The values ${\Delta}Hm$ and the other thermodynamic properties associated with micelle formation have been determined using the above equation and compared with that of dodecylpyridinium chloride and dodecylpyridinium bromide.

In order to investigate the characteristics in tensile strength of transversely isotropic rock, a new anisotropic tensile failure function was suggested. According to the function, the tensile strength is minimum in the normal direction to a weakness plane and rises exponentially to its maximum on a plane perpendicular to the weakness plane. The anisotropic function is defined in terms of three strength parameters which can be identified trom direct tensile tests of transversely isotropic rocks. By incorporating the suggested function into the critical plane approach, a numerical procedure which enables to search the tensile strength and the direction of critical plane at failure was presented. The validity of the suggested numerical procedure was checked through the simulation of direct tensile tests reported in a literature. The numerical results from the simulation were in good agreements with those from the laboratory tests.

Sodium-montmorillonite ($Na^+$-MMT) was introduced into single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/epoxy composite to investigate the effect of MMT size and MMT/SWCNT ratio on the mechanical and electrical properties of composite. Three different sizes of MMTs were used and all were found to function as effective dispersion aids for SWCNTs. Mechanical properties of SWCNT/epoxy composite increased with MMT content; tending to decrease once the MMT content reached a critical level. However, the surface electrical resistance decreased with increasing MMT content and tended to increase after the critical content was reached. Critical MMT/SWCNT ratio for maximum mechanical properties and minimum electrical resistivity was strongly dependent on the MMT size. Critical MMT/SWCNT ratio was decreased with MMT size.

In order to examine the characteristic of shallow failure in cut slopes composed of weathered granite soil, this study calculated critical permeability coefficient according to rainfall characteristic in Korea, performed stability analysis according to the representative physical properties of weathered granite soil distributed in Korea such as horizontal distance to the failure surface of cut slope, slope inclination, slope height, and the depth of wetting by rainfall, and analyzed the results. In the results of analyzing critical permeability coefficient, when the local rainfall characteristic was considered, the maximum critical permeability coefficient was $7.16{\times}10^{-4}cm/sec$. We judged that shallow failure according to wetting depth should be considered when rainfall below the critical rainfall intensity lasts longer than the minimum rainfall duration in cut slopes composed of weathered granite soil, which had a critical permeability coefficient lower than the maximum critical permeability coefficient. Furthermore, using simulated failure surface, this study could understand the characteristic of shallow failure in cut slopes based on the change in slope safety factor according to horizontal distance, wetting depth, and strength parameter.

Recently, critical velocity has become a topic to attract most interests from the researchers in the field of tunnel safety. As the minimum velocity to prevent smoke backlayering during a fire, many equations have been proposed so far, and the following three equations are being considered as a standard method in Korea to calculate the capacity of smoke extraction fans. Equation by Kennedy based on Froude number, Tetzner' s equation with additional variable, ${\beta}$ to modify the Kennedy's equation, and the equation with the concept of super critical velocity by Wu are studied in this paper for the comparative purpose. A contour map describing the relationship between the critical velocity and the capacity of smoke extraction fans is proposed as a tool to calculate the number of jet fans for smoke control during a fire in the local tunnels.

The critical breakthrough pressure through both porous PVDF (polyvinylidenefluoride) and PTFE (poly-tetrafluoroethylene) was measured using pure water, $0.1M{\sim}4.0M$ NaOH aqueous solutions and $0.1M{\sim}3.0M\;NaHSO_3$ aqueous solutions. The critical breakthrough pressure through PTFE was observed to be higher than that through PVDF membrane at the same pore size. The critical breakthrough pressure decreased as the molar concentration of NaOH increased up to 1.0 M reaching the minimum and then increased further after 1.0 M NaOH up to 4.0 M NaOH. On the other hand, the critical breakthrough pressure measured using $NaHSO_3$ aqueous solutions was decreased with increasing the concentration of $NaHSO_3$. The critical breakthrough pressure could be well interpreted with Cantor's equation.

Carbon dioxide injection is a widely known method of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It is critical for the $CO_2$ EOR that the injected $CO_2$ to reach a condition fully miscible with oil. To reach the miscible point, a certain level of pressure is required, which is known as minimum miscibility pressure (MMP). In this study, a MMP prediction method using a process simulator is proposed. To validate the results of the simulation, those are compared to a slim tube experiment and several empirical correlations of previous literatures. Aspen HYSYS is utilized as the process simulator to create a model of $CO_2$/crude oil encounter. The results of the study show that the process simulator model is capable of predicting MMP and comparable to other published methods.

Using the concept of cellular manufacturing systems(CMS) in job shop manufacturing system is one of the most innovative approaches to improving plant productivity. However. several constraints in machine duplication cost, machining capability, cell space capacity, intercell moves and exceptional elements(EEs) are main problems that prevent achieving the goal of maintaining an ideal CMS environment. Minimizing intercell part traffics and EEs are the main objective of the cell formation problem because it is a critical point that improving production efficiency. Because the intercell moves could be changed according to the sequence of operation, it should be considered in assigning parts and machines to machine ceil. This paper presents a method that eliminates EEs under the constraints of machine duplication cost and ceil space capacity attaining two goals of minimizing machine duplications and minimizing intercell moves simultaneously. Developing an algorithm that calculates the machine duplications by cell-machine incidence matrix and part-machine Incidence matrix, and calculates the exact intercell moves considering the sequence of operation. Based on the number of machine duplications and exact intercell moves, the goal programming model which satisfying minimum machine duplications and minimum intercell moves is developed. A linear programming model is suggested that could calculates more effectively without damaging optimal solution. A numerical example is provided to illustrate these methods.
