Recently, as the clinically positive biological effects of ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) radiation beams have been revealed, interest in flash radiation therapy has increased. Generally, FLASH preclinical experiments are performed using UHDR electron beams generated by linear accelerators. Real-time monitoring of UHDR beams is required to deliver the correct dose to a sample. However, it is difficult to use typical transmission-type ionization chambers for primary beam monitoring because there is no suitable electrometer capable of reading high pulsed currents, and collection efficiency is drastically reduced in pulsed radiation beams with ultra-high doses. In this study, a monitoring method using bremsstrahlung photons generated by irradiation devices and a water phantom was proposed. Charges collected in an ionization chamber located at the back of a water phantom were analyzed using the bremsstrahlung tail on electron depth dose curves obtained using radiochromic films. The dose conversion factor for converting a monitored charge into a delivered dose was determined analytically for the Advanced Markus® chamber and compared with experimentally determined values. It is anticipated that the method proposed in this study can be useful for monitoring sample doses in UHDR electron beam irradiation.

The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a kind of flash boiling spray is expected when the back pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa at 298K). The ambient pressure was held at a pressure above(0.37MPa) and below(0.15MPa) the fuel vapor pressure. The axial velocities, radial velocities, and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. The PDPA measurement showed a smaller SMD at the 0.15MPa chamber pressure, compared to the 0.37MPa case. Log-hyperbolic density function for the droplets size distribution can be fitted to the experimental results of a liquefied butane spray.

In high speed flash type or pipelining type A/D Converter, the faster sampling frequency is, the more the effect of DC reference fluctuation is increased by clock feed-through and kick-back. When we measure A/D Converter, further, external noise increases reference voltage fluctuation. Thus reference fluctuation reduction circuit must be needed in high speed A/D converter. Conventional circuit simply uses capacitor but layout area is large and it's not efficient. In this paper, a reference fluctuation reduction circuit using transmission gate is proposed. In order to verify the proposed technique, we designed and manufactured 6bit 2GSPS CMOS A/D converter. The A/D converter is based on 0.18um 1-poly 5-metal N-well CMOS technology, and it consumes 145mW at 1.8V power supply. It occupies chip area of $977um\times1040um$. Experimental result shows that SNDR is 36.25 dB and INL/DNL ${\pm}0.5LSB$ when sampling frequency is 2GHz.

In this paper, a poly-Si thin film transistor with ${\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ gate length was fabricated and its electrical characteristics are optimized. From the results, it was verified that making active region with larger grain size using low temperature annealing is an efficient way to enhance the subthreshold swing, drain-induced barrier lowering and on-current characteristics. A SONOS flash memory was fabricated using this poly-Si channel process and its performances are analyzed. It was necessary to optimize O/N/O thickness for the reduction of electron back tunneling and the enhancement of its memory operation. The optimized device showed 2.24 V of threshold voltage memory windows which coincided with a well operating flash memory.

When the conventional IPD (inter-poly-dielctrics) layer with ONO(oxide-nitride-oxide) structure was used in the Flash EEPROM cell, its data retention characteristics were significanfly degraded because the top oxide of the ONO layer was etched off due to the cleaning process used in the gate oxidation process for the peripheral MOSFETs. When the IPD layer with the ONON(oxide-nitride-oxide-nitride) was used there, however, its data retention characteristics were much improved because the top nitride of the ONON layer protected the top oxide from being etched in the cleaning process. For the modelling of the data retention characteristics of the Flash EEPROM cell with the ONON IPD layer, the decrease of the threshold voltage cue to the charge loss during the bake was here given by the empirical relation ${\Delta}V_t\; = \;{\beta}t^me^{-ea/kT}$ and the values of the ${\beta}$=184.7, m=0.224, Ea=0.31 eV were obtained with the experimental measurements. The activation energy of 0.31eV implies that the decrease of the threshold voltage by the back was dur to the movement of the trapped electrons inside the inter-oxide nitride layer. On the other hand, the results of the computer simulation using the model were found to be well consistent with the results of the electrical measurements when the thermal budget of the bake was not high. However, the latter was larger then the former in the case of the high thermal budger, This seems to be due to the leakage current generated by the extraction of the electrons with the bake which were injected into the inter-oxide niride later and were trapped there during the programming, and played the role to prevent the leakage current. To prevent the generation of the leakage current, it is required that the inter-oxide nitride layer and the top oxide layer be made as thin and as thick as possible, respectively.

사회 다변화 및 급속한 경제성장과 도시밀집화로 인하여, 화재의 발생으로 인하여 막대한 인명피해 및 대규모의 재산상의 피해가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 화재의 피해를 예측하기 위해서는 실제 규모의 화재실험이 매우 유용하지만, 막대한 비용과 현실적 제약조건으로 인하여 실제 실험에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 막대한 예산이 소요되는 실제규모의 화재실험의 대체방법으로 실제를 모사하는 축소모형 화재모의실험 및 컴퓨터를 이용한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 범용 컴퓨터를 이용한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법(CFAST)을 이용하여 수직 공간 구성을 가지는 단독주택의 화재 성상을 검토하였다. 시뮬레이션 모델로는 단독주택을 대상건물로 하여 2층으로 수직 공간을 가지는 단독주택 건물에 대한 모의 화재 시뮬레이션을 수행 하였다. 화재 시뮬레이션 결과는 각 구획실별 온도, 일산화탄소량, 공기 중 산소량 등을 도출하여 기존 이론에 의한 화재성장 그래프와 시뮬레이션 데이터를 비교하여 정확도를 검토하였다. 본 논문에서는 두가지의 시나리오를 작성하여 화재 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 결과 값을 분석하였다. (1) 시나리오 1 : 화재시뮬레이션 대상건물 1층 거실(2번방)에서 스프링클러 미 설치시 화재가 발생한 경우를 가정하여 수평방향인 3번방과 수직방향인 7번방의 화재 확산 피해정도를 살펴보고, 화재 그래프의 이론값과 실험값의 차이를 비교하여 그 정합성을 검토하였다. 발화물질은 Curtain, TV set, Sofa, Table으로 하며 시간은 60초 간격으로 총 3600초(1시간)를 분석 하였고, 발화지점의 온도, 일산화탄소, 공기중 산소 농도를 분석하였다. (2) 시나리오 2 : 시나리오 1과 동일한 화재발현 조건으로 스프링클러가 설치되어 있을 때 화재 발생 했을 경우, 수평방향인 3번방과 수직방향인 7번방의 화재 확산 피해를 시나리오 1과 비교 검토 하였다. 기존 이론에 의한 화재 성장 그래프와 이번 시뮬레이션 결과값을 토대로 만든 그래프 형태를 비교해보면 두 그래프의 형태가 비슷한 형태를 나타내어 Flash Over 현상과 Back Draft 현상이 이론값과 같은 경향을 나타내고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 수행한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법으로 건축물의 실제 화재시의 피해정도를 예측하는 데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the experimental studies were conducted to analyzing characteristics of combustion and flame stabilizing according to with and without water tube in boiler. The burner has consisted of SiC foam where has the location of submerged flame between a ceramic board acting as flash-back arrestor. Porous burner is also insulated to minimize heat loss in the radial direction. In the condition of fixed equivalence ratio, the flame mode was divided into three stability zones by the flow rate. The main factor for blow-off and flash-back depends on mixture flow rate. Consequently, the case of burner with water-tube has higher NOx emissions than without case. This result explains that the presence of water-tube makes the heat loss resistant to ambient temperature with increasing of NOx. This tendency was proved by predicting the relationship between O₂ emission and NO production rate, and by analysing temperature profiles.

Cloud-to ground lightning and total precipitation over Korean peninsula during the summer monsoon season are studied extensively with a special emphasis on the characteristics of convective precipitation. Ten years (1988-1997) lightning and rainfall data and a temporal and spatial scale of one month and 10$^2$ km$^2$ respectively are used to calculate the monthly number of CG lightning flash count. Monsoonal convective activity is higher over the west coast with maxima at two different regions, one in the northern part which increases nortwestward and the other is at the middle west coast of Korea increasing towards the west coast. East coast represents the minimum value of monsoonal convective activity. In the east coast of Korean peninsula, particularly in the region east of Tae-back mountain, the value of Rain yield, (which is defined as the ratio of total precipitation to CG flash count over a common area), is maximum with an average value of 3$\times$10$^{8}$ kg fl$^{-1}$, while the minimum value of rain yield is occurred in the west of Tae-back mountain, with an average value of 0.8$\times$10$^{8}$ kg fl$^{-1}$. Results show in the west coast stations, nearly 82% of the total rainfall is convective in nature, at the middle of the peninsula 53% of the total rain is convective while in the east coast stations 46% contribution from the convective rain is seen. Kanghwa receives the maximum convective rain while at Ulsan the convective rain is minimum. Correlation coefficient between the total precipitation and CG lightning during the summer monsoon season is 0.54.
