In order to improve the mechanical properties of tungsten at room and elevated temperature, hafnium carbide (HfC) reinforced tungsten matrix composites were prepared using the spark plasma sintering technique. The effect of HfC content on the compressive strength and flexural strength of the tungsten composites was investigated. Mechanical properties of the composites were also measured at elevated temperatures and their trends, with varying reinforcement volume fraction, were studied. The effect of reinforcement fraction on the thermal properties of the composites was investigated. The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the composites decreased with increasing temperature and reinforcement volume fraction. An inherently low thermal conductivity of the reinforcement as well as interfacial losses was responsible for lower values of thermal conductivity of the composites. Values of coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites were observed to increase with HfC volume fraction.

Objectives : The aim of this experiment was to investigate the influences of Autonomic Nervous System and EEG by conducting Reinforcement-Reduction(補瀉) acupuncture stimulation to compare the changes in acupoints on the body before and after treatment of acupuncture at Xingjian(LR2) being referred as Fire-point(火穴) and Ququan(LR8) being referred as Water-point(水穴) of Yin Liver Meridian(足厥陰肝經). Methods : This study was carried out on 30 healthy female volunteers in their 20's. There were four tests conducted throughout and the period for each test was between 2 to 5days. HRV and EEG were measured for 5 minutes before acupuncture stimulation was conducted on LR2-Reinforcement, LR2-Reduction, LR8-Reinforcement and LR8-Reduction at random. During the 20 minutes of acupuncture treatment, same subjects were measured simultaneously to observe any significant changes in acupoints. Again, the same subjects were measured for 5 minutes after removing the acupuncture in order to perform a comparative analysis. Results : The measurement of HRV showed that LF, LFnorm and LF/HF ratio increased significantly(p<0.05) while HF, HF norm decreased significantly in case of LR2-Reinforcement & LR8-Reduction. Both LR2-Reduction and LR8-Reinforcement induced a significant increase in HFnorm. EEG measurement indicated low $\alpha$ wave decreased and high $\beta$ wave increased significantly at LR2-Reinforcement during post-acupuncture period compared with acupuncture stimulation period. Both LR2-Reduction and LR8-Reinforcement developed significantly low $\alpha$ wave and high $\alpha$ wave. High $\beta$ wave increased significantly at LR8-Reduction during the acupuncture stimulation in comparison with pre-acupuncture period. Conclusions : The manipulation of acupuncture stimulation at LR2-Reinforcement and LR8-Reduction enhanced the activity of sympathetic nerves and the state of arousal while that of para sympathetic nerves declined. On the other hand, LR2-Reduction and LR8-Reinforcement developed the levels of para sympathetic nerves and relaxation.

이 연구에서는 고연성 PET 시트 및 HF(PET+aramid) 스트랜드로 보강한 RC 원형 기둥의 내진 보강 성능에 대하여 실험적으로 비교 고찰하였다. 고연성 PET 및 HF 스트랜드로 횡 구속된 RC 원형 기둥의 내진 성능 실험결과, 모든 보강 기둥에서 최대 휨 강도 및 연성 능력 모두 무보강 기둥보다 향상되었으며 극한단계에서 섬유의 파단은 발생하지 않았다. 또한 PET 시트 25겹 보강 기둥과 HF 스트랜드 1겹 보강 기둥의 저항 내력 및 변위가 거의 유사하여 HF 스트랜드 1겹은 PET 시트 약 25겹(동일 폭 기준)과 동일한 횡 구속 효과를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 휨 강도 증진 및 연성 능력 측면에서 PET는 RC 구조물의 내진 보강재로서 적합한 것으로 사료되나 현장적용의 가능성을 높이기 위해서는 이 연구에서 사용된 HF 스트랜드와 같이 많은 양의 섬유를 함유한 제작품과 같이 1겹으로 다수 PET 시트의 성능 효과를 내는 재료가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 한편 PET의 내구성에 대해서는 별도의 연구가 필요하며 현재 연구가 진행중이다.

Objectives : Acupuncture has been widely used in oriental medicine. The aim of this research is to study how does the interaction between reinforcement-reduction by twirling nine and six and subject's cold or heat tendency effect on Heart Rate Variability. Methods : We divided our subjects into 3 groups at random and classified subjects by their cold or heat tendency using questionnaire for cold-heat patternization. Group 1 is acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reinforcement group, 2 is acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reduction group, 3 in acupuncture at hapkok(LI4) group. According to their group, we acupunctured. Before and after acupuncture Heart Rate Variability raw data were measured during 5 minutes. LF, HF, LF norm HF norm were calculated. We analyzed these data using 3-way repeated ANOVA, Paired student T-Test. Results : 3-way repeated ANOVA showed significant interaction among LF, each group and subject's cold heat tendency(p<0.05). Paired student T-Test showed significant differences between before and after acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reinforcement method in cold tendency men and acupuncture at shinmun(HT7) reduction method in heat tendency men(p<0.05). Conclusion : These results suggest that acupuncture at Shinmun(HT7) has an effect on declining sympathetic nerve function and has an effect on stabilizing mind through Interaction between reinforcement-reduction by twirling nine and six and subject's cold or heat tendency. We propose that more prudent care is needed about subject's cold or heat tendency and acupuncture technique of reinforcement-reduction to achieve the most suitable treatment effect.

Bayesian based Multi-Frame Super-Resolution (MF-SR) has been used as a popular and effective SR model. On the other hand, the texture region is not reconstructed sufficiently because it works on the spatial domain. In this study, the MF-SR method was extended to operate on the frequency domain to improve HF information as much as possible. For this, a spatially weighted bilateral total variation model was proposed as a regularization term for a Bayesian estimation. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can recover the texture region more realistically with reduced noise, compared to conventional methods.

콘크리트에 균열이 발생하면 구조물의 구조적인 결함, 내구성 저하, 외관손상 등을 유발하여 치명적인 손실을 초래하기 때문에 균열제어를 통한 내구성능의 증대가 필수적이다. 국내 콘크리트 구조물의 동향을 살펴보면 LCC개념에 비추어 구조물의 신축비용이 25%에 불과하고, 다양한 형태의 균열보수, 개수, 유지관리 및 폐기처분에 대한 비용이 75%를 차지함에 따라 구조물의 시공시 콘크리트의 균열발생과 시공 후 콘크리트 내 철근부식을 억제하는 기술이 요구된다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1990년대 후반부터 인산(H3PO4) 및 불산(HF)을 제조하는 공정 중에 액상형태의 부산물로 회수되는 불화규산(H2SiF6)을 활용하여 안정한 액상형태로 제조되는 규불화염계 화합물에 의한 균열저감 특성과 내구성에 대한 검토를 수행한 결과, 규불화염계 무기 조성물의 첨가로 수밀성이 증진되어 치밀한 경화조직을 형성함으로써 경화 후 급격한 수분의 손실에 따른 경화수축이 억제되어 건조수축을 저감시키는 특성을 발휘하였다. 또한 수화온도 및 수축 저감에 의해 조기에 균열발생을 억제하고, 수밀성을 증진시킴으로써 중성화, 동결융해저항성 및 염소이온침투깊이에 있어서 무첨가 콘크리트에 비해 상당히 개선되는 효과를 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 콘크리트 변형이 크게 발생되는 복합열화 환경 하에서도 SWP-2에 의한 내구성 향상 효과가 확인되었다.
