  • This study was carried out by using laboratory data to calculate Soil Moisture Control Section (SMCS) for medium textured topo-sequential soils derived from porphyry in Milyang area. The soils studied were characterized by loam to silty clay loam, and the moisture content at -1/3 bar in the solum ranged around 21.06% to 32.42%. The moisture contents per centimeter of soil layer within a solum calculated at field capacity (FC) ranged from 0.11cm to 0.19cm. The upper boundaries of SMCS of the soils calculated on the basis of FC as the water content at -1/3 bar, ranged from 16.2cm to 21.2cm and the lower boundaries from 44.4cm to 63.8cm, and the depth of SMCS were from 27.7cm to 42.6cm in the soil profiles. The Bongsan soil on the summit had shallower in the boundaries and narrower in the depth of SMCS than the soils on side-slopes or on valley.

  • This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed withdrawal (F) and heat acclimatization (A) on malebroiler and -layer chickens responses to acute heat stress (AHS) at four weeks of age. Totals of ninety male chicks of broiler or layer type were randomly allocated into 30 pens of grower batteries with raised wire floors. Chicks were subjected to F and A three times a week through the first three weeks of age. At each time, feed withdrawal and heat acclimatization (T = $35^{\circ}C$) lasted for six and four hours, respectively. Feed consumption (FC), body weight (BW), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded weekly for broiler type chickens only. At four weeks of age, all groups of chickens were exposed to AHS (T = $39{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) for three hours. Before and after AHS challenge, body temperature (Tb), heterophil (H), and lymphocyte (L) counts were recorded, and H/L ratio was calculated. Antibody (Ab) response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) was assessed from all treatments without being exposed to AHS. Group F of broiler-type chickens weighed less (p<0.05) compared to control group. Also, both A and F groups of broiler-type chickens consumed less (p<0.05) feed when compared to control group. Acute heat stress elevated Tb of all treatment groups, however the increase was more profound (p<0.001) in broiler chicks. Broiler chicks of both A and F groups showed a tendency to have higher (p = 0.08) Tb when compared to control group. Acute heat stress elevated (p<0.001) H/L ratio in both types of chickens. Broiler chicks maintained higher (p<0.001) H/L ratio. Both F and A groups reduced (p<0.01) the level of elevation in H/L ratio compared to control groups of both types of chickens. Neither A nor F group affected the Ab production in response to SRBC. However, there was a tendency towards higher Ab responses in F group when compared to other groups in both types of chickens. Results of the present study demonstrate that previous history of feed withdrawal or episodes of heat exposures improved chicks'physiological withstanding of AHS and a tendency to improved humoral immune response.

  • $2-\mu{m}$ thick GaN epilayer was prepared, and 80 KeV $Co^{-}$ ions with a dose of $3X10^{16}\;cm^{-2}$ were implanted into GaN at $350^{\circ}C$. The implanted samples were post annealed at $700^{\circ}C$. We have investigated the magnetic and structural properties of Co ion-implanted GaN by various measurements. HRXRD results did not show any peaks associated with second phase formation and only the diffraction from the GaN layer and substrate structure were observed. SIMS profiles of Co implanted into GaN before and after annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ have shown a projected range of $\sim390\AA$ with 7.4% concentration and that there is little movement in Co. AFM measurement shows the form of surface craters for $700^{\circ}C$-annealed samples. The magnetization curve and temperature dependence of magnetization taken in zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and field-cooling (FC) conditions showed the features of superparamagnetic system in film. XPS measurement showed the metallic Co 2p core levels spectra for $700^{\circ}C$-annealed samples. From this, it could be explained that magnetic property of our films originated from Co magnetic clusters.

  • Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) performance degrades seriously when sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are contaminated in the fuel gas at anode and air source at cathode, respectively. This paper reveals the effect of the combined sulfur impurity poisoning on both PEMFC cathode and anode parts through measuring electrical performance on single FC operated under 1 ppm to 10 ppm impurity gases. The severity of $SO_2$ and $H_2S$ poisoning depended on concentrations of impurity gases under optimum operating conditions($65^{\circ}C$ of cell temperature and 100 % relative humidity). Sulfur adsorption occured on the surface of Pt catalyst layer on MEA. In addition, MEA poisoning by impurity gases were cumulative. After four consecutive poisonings with 1, 3, 5 to 10 ppm, the fuel cell performance of PEMFC was decrease upto 0.54 V(76 %) from 0.71 V.

  • 무전해 니켈도금 용액의 성분은 Ni(II)염, 환원제, 적합한 금속 배위 리간드, 안정제 및 특정 특성 요구에 대한 첨가제를 포함한다. 일반적으로 도금 욕에는 미량의 안정제가 함유되어 있다. 만약 적절한 안정화 시스템이 없는 도금 욕에서 도금 공정 시 도금 시작 직후에 많은 양의 니켈 플레이크(Ni flake)가 생성되어 빠르게 도금 용액이 분해되어 더 이상 도금이 어렵게 된다. 그러나 무전해 도금 욕에서 안정제의 역할 및 도금 층에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $Pb^{2+}$ 안정제 농도가 도금 층에 미치는 영향과 캐비테이션 침식 실험을 통해 그 내구성을 평가하고자 하였다. 무전해 니켈코팅을 위한 모재는 회주철(FC250)을 $19.5mm{\times}19.5mm{\times}5mm$의 크기로 가공하였다. 회주철의 인장강도는 $330N/mm^2$이며, 그 성분 조성(wt.%)은 3.23 C, 1.64 Si, 0.84 Mn, 0.016 P, 0.013 S 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 시험편은 SiC 페이퍼 #1200까지 연마하여 시험편의 표면 거칠기는 $1.6-2.1{\mu}m$ 범위 내로 제작하였다. 무전해 도금 전 시험편은 탈지를 위해 상온의 아세톤 용액에서 3분간 초음파 세척하고, $90^{\circ}C$의 알카리 수용액으로 5분간 세척하였다. 그리고 표면 활성화를 위한 산세척은 5% 황산용액에서 30초 동안 실시하였다. 도금조로 500mL 비커를 사용하였으며, 모든 시험편은 2시간 동안 무전해 니켈도금을 실시하였다. 그리고 니켈도금 층의 내식성과 내구성을 평가하기 위해 전기화학적 분극 실험을 통한 타펠분석과 ASTM G32 규정에 의거한 캐비테이션 침식 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 안정제 농도가 도금 속도와 도금 층의 성분 변화에 크게 영향을 미쳤으며, 그에 따라 도금 층의 내식성과 내구성이 크게 변화되었다.

  • New results of dependence of magnetic field, trapped by a stack of HTS tapes, on amount of tapes in a stack are reported. Commercial GdBCO tape 12 mm width and without Cu layer was used for the research. Tape was divided in square pieces $12{\times}12mm^2$ from which stacks were formed. Filling factor of the tape was about 1.4%. Measurements were carried out for stacks with height from 5 to 250 pieces and at wide temperature range from liquid helium to liquid nitrogen. Both FC (field cooling) and ZFC (zero field cooling) cooling methods were used in the research. These two methods show matching results with good accuracy. As a result dependences of trapped magnetic flux on amount of tapes for different temperatures were received. Research shows, that with increasing height of the stack trapped magnetic field value reach saturation at about 60 tapes in a stack for low temperatures. From 60 to 100 tapes increase of magnet flux is only 5%. Thus increase amount of tapes in a stack is not profitable. Also investigation of trapped magnet field relaxation was carried out. Relaxation speed decreases with increasing amount of elements. It means that the higher the stack is, the longer trapped flux will be held in cause of the same temperature.

  • Aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of 2D ion chamber array as a substitute of the water phantom system in a periodic Linac QA. For the feasibility study, a commercial ion chamber matrix was used as a substitute of the water phantom in the measurement for a routine QA beam properties. The device used in this study was the I'm RT MatriXX (Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany). The MatriXX consists of a 1,020 vented ion chamber array, arranged in $24{\times}24\;cm^2$ matrix. Each ion chamber has a volume of $0.08\;cm^3$, spacing of 0.762 cm. We investigated dosimetric parameters such as dose symmetry, energy ($TPR_{20,10}$), and absolute dose for comparing with the water phantom data with a Farmer-type ionization chamber (FC65G, Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany). For the MatriXX measurements, we used the white polystyrene phantom (${\rho}:\;1.18\;g/cm^3$) and also considered the intrinsic layer (${\rho}:\;1.06\;g/cm^3$, t: 0.36 cm) of MatriXX to be equivalent to water depth. In the preliminary study of geometrical QA using MatriXX, the rotation axis of collimator and half beam junction test were included and compared with film measurements. Regarding the dosimetrical QA, the MatriXX has shown good agreements within ${\pm}1%$ compared to the water phantom measurements. In the geometrical test, the data from MatriXX were comparable with those from the films. In conclusion, the MatriXX is a good substitute for water phantom system and film measurements. In addition, the results indicate that the MatriXX as a cost-effective novel QA tool to reduce time and personnel power.

  • This paper presents a method for 1:1 verification by comparing the similarity between the given real product image and the drawing image. The proposed method combines two existing CNN-based deep learning models to construct a Siamese Network. After extracting the feature vector of the image through the FC (Fully Connected) Layer of each network and comparing the similarity, if the real product image and the drawing image (front view, left and right side view, top view, etc) are the same product, the similarity is set to 1 for learning and, if it is a different product, the similarity is set to 0. The test (inference) model is a deep learning model that queries the real product image and the drawing image in pairs to determine whether the pair is the same product or not. In the proposed model, through a comparison of the similarity between the real product image and the drawing image, if the similarity is greater than or equal to a threshold value (Threshold: 0.5), it is determined that the product is the same, and if it is less than or equal to, it is determined that the product is a different product. The proposed model showed an accuracy of about 71.8% for a query to a product (positive: positive) with the same drawing as the real product, and an accuracy of about 83.1% for a query to a different product (positive: negative). In the future, we plan to conduct a study to improve the matching accuracy between the real product image and the drawing image by combining the parameter optimization study with the proposed model and adding processes such as data purification.

  • A pilot study was performed from September 2000 to April 2004 to examine the feasibility of the wetland-pond system for the agricultural reuse of reclaimed water. The wetland system was a subsurface flow type, with a hydraulic residence time of 3.5 days, and the subsequent pond was 8 $m^3$ in volume (2 m ${\times}$ 2 m ${\times}$ 2 m) and operated with intermittent-discharge and continuous flow types. The wetland system was effective in treating the sewage; median removal efficiencies of $BOD_5$ and TSS were above 70.0%, with mean effluent concentrations of 27.1 and 16.8 mg $L^{-1}$, respectively, for these constituents. However, they did often exceed the effluent water quality standards of 20 mg $L^{-1}$. Removal of T-N and T-P was relatively less effective and mean effluent concentrations were approximately 103.2 and 7.2 mg $L^{-1}$, respectively. The wetland system demonstrated high removal rate (92 ${\sim}$ 90%) of microorganisms, but effluent concentrations were in the range of 300 ${\sim}$ 16,000 MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ which is still high for agricultural reuse. The subsequent pond system provided further treatment of the wetland effluent, and especially additional microorganisms removal in addition to wetland-pond system could reduce the mean concentration to 1,000 MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ from about $10^5$ MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ of wetland influent. Other parameters in the pond system showed seasonal variation, and the upper layer of the pond water column became remarkably clear immediately after ice melt. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating sewage with stable removal efficiency, and the subsequent pond was effective for further polishing. This study concerned agricultural reuse of reclaimed water using natural systems. Considering stable performance and effective removal of bacterial indicators as well as other water quality parameters, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, wetland- pond system was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative for agricultural reuse of reclaimed water in rural area.
