This paper compares the two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) approaches for the numerical determination of the equivalent mechanical properties of fractured rock masses. Both orthogonally-fractured model and discrete fracture networks (DFN) were used for the geometry and 2D models were cut in various directions from 3D model to compare their mechanical properties. Geological data were loosely based on the data available from Sellafield, UK. Analytical method based on compliance tensor transformation was used for investigation in orthogonally fractured rock and numerical experiments were conducted on fractured rock mass with DFN geometry. It is shown that 2D approach always overestimates the elastic modulus of fractured rock masses by a factor of up to around two because fractures are assumed to be perpendicular to the model plane in 2D problems. Poisson ratios tend to have larger values in 2D analysis while there is opposite trend in some sections. The study quantitatively demonstrates the limitation of the 2D approach that uses the simplified model from true 3D geometry.

We consider an information system where viruses arrive according to a Poisson process with rate ${\lambda}$. The information system has two types of anti-virus operation policies including 'real-time scan' and 'batch scan.' In the real-time scan policy, a virus is assumed to be scanned immediately after its arrival. Consequently, the real-time scan policy assumes infinite number of anti-viruses. We assume that the time for scanning and curing a virus follows a general distribution. In the batch scan policy, a system manager operates an anti-virus every deterministic time interval and scan and cure all the viruses remaining in the system simultaneously. In this paper we suggest a probability model for the operation of anti-virus software. We derive a condition under which the operating policy is achieved. Some numerical examples with various cost structure are given to illustrate the results.

The business cycle during a recession leads to negative effects on raising funds and operations management of company. In particular, the company with many inventories in the recession causes liquidity problem. Which leads to frustration in the competitive strategy management. In this case the company experiencing cash or liquidity problems attempts to reduce its investment in inventory. However, reducing inventory investment makes problems to increase inventory operating costs. This paper presents sensitivity of total cost compared to the size for reducing inventory investment. This will guarantee the relevance of the reducing inventory investment. Optimal Inventory levels also may be required to be less than the optimal levels without reduction on inventory investments.

This paper have presented the analysis of the change for threshold voltage and drain induced barrier lowering among short channel effects occurred in subthreshold region for double gate(DG) MOSFET with two gates to be next-generation devices, based on scaling theory. To obtain the analytical solution of Poisson's equation, Gaussian function been used as carrier distribution to analyze closely for experimental results, and the threshold characteristics have been analyzed for device parameters such as channel thickness and doping concentration and projected range and standard projected deviation of Gaussian function. Since this potential model has been verified in the previous papers, we have used this model to analyze the threshold chatacteristics. As a result to apply scaling theory, we know the threshold voltage and drain induced barrier lowering is changed, and the deviation rate is changed for device parameters for DGMOSFET.

This paper have presented the change for subthreshold characteristics for double gate(DG) MOSFET based on scaling theory and the shape of Gaussian function. To obtain the analytical solution of Poisson's equation, Gaussian function been used as carrier distribution and consequently potential distributions have been analyzed closely for experimental results, and the subthreshold characteristics have been analyzed for the shape parameters of Gaussian function such as projected range and standard projected deviation. Since this potential model has been verified in the previous papers, we have used this model to analyze the subthreshold chatacteristics. The scaling theory is to sustain constant outputs for the change of device parameters. As a result to apply the scaling theory for DGMOSFET, we know the subthreshold characteristics have been greatly changed, and the change of threshold voltage is bigger relatively.

최근 국내 반도체 장비 업체들에 의해서 차세대 반도체용 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장비 개발이 진행 중에 있다. 반도체 산업은 계속해서 반도체 칩의 크기를 작게 하고, 웨이퍼 크기를 늘리면서 웨이퍼 당 칩수를 증가시켜 생산성을 향상해오고 있다. 현재 300 mm 웨이퍼에서 450 mm 웨이퍼를 도입하게 되면, 생산성 뿐만 아니라 30%의 비용절감과 50%의 cycle-time 단축이 기대되고 있다. 장비에 대한 이해와 공정에 대한 해석 능력을 위해 비용과 시간이 많이 들기 때문에 최근 컴퓨터를 활용한 수치 모델링이 진행되고 있다. 또한, 수치 모델링은 실험 결과와의 비교가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 450 mm 웨이퍼 공정용 장비의 전자밀도를 cut off probe를 통해 100 mTorr에 서 Ar 플라즈마를 파워에 따라 측정했다. 13.56 MHz 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W로 입력 파워가 증가하면서 웨이퍼 중심에서 $6.0{\times}10^9#/cm^3$, $1.35{\times}10^{10}#/cm^3$, $2.4{\times}10^{10}#/cm^3$로 증가했다. 450 mm 웨이퍼 영역에서 전자 밀도의 불균일도는 각각 10.31%, 3.24%, 4.81% 였다. 또한, 이 450 mm 웨이퍼용 CCP 장비를 축대칭 2차원으로 형상화하고, 전극에 13.56 MHz를 직렬로 연결된 blocking capacitor ($1{\times}10^{-6}$ F/$m^2$)를 통해 인가할 수 있도록 상용 유체 모델 소프트웨어(CFD-ACE+, EXI corp)를 이용하여 계산하였다. 주요 전자-중성 충돌 반응으로 momentum transfer, ionization, excitation, two-step ionization을 고려했고, $Ar^+$와 $Ar^*$의 표면 재결합 반응은 sticking coefficient를 1로 가정했다. CFD-ACE+의 CCP 모델을 통해 Poisson 방정식을 풀어서 sheath와 wave effect를 고려하였다. Stochastic heating을 고려하지 않았을 때, 플라즈마 흡수 파워가 80 W, 160 W, 240 W에서 실험 투입 전력 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W일 때와 유사한 반경 방향의 플라즈마 밀도 분포를 보였다. 200 W, 500 W, 1,000 W일 때의 전자밀도 분포는 수치 모델링과 전 범위에서 각각 10%, 3%, 2%의 오차를 보였다. 450 mm의 전극에 13.56 MHz의 전력을 인가할 때, 파워가 증가할수록 전자밀도의 최대값의 위치가 웨이퍼 edge에서 중심으로 이동하고 있음을 실험과 모델링을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we explore the electrical properties and high-frequency performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs), based on the non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) solved self - consistently with Poisson's equations. The calculated results show that CNTFETs exhibit superior performance compared with graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (GNRFETs), such as better control ability of the gate on the channel, higher drive current with lower subthreshold leakage current, and lower subthreshold-swing (SS). Due to larger band-structure-limited velocity in CNTFETs, ballistic CNTFETs present better high-frequency performance limit than that of Si MOSFETs. The parameter effects of CNTFETs are also investigated. In addition, to enhance the immunity against short - channel effects (SCE), hetero - material - gate CNTFETs (HMG-CNTFETs) have been proposed, and we present a detailed numerical simulation to analyze the performances of scaling down, and conclude that HMG-CNTFETs can meet the ITRS'10 requirements better than CNTs.

For retaining wall designs, horizontal earth pressure induced by traffic loads over the walls is calculated based on equivalent uniform pressure height. The AASHTO LRFD design standards propose equivalent uniform pressure height of traffic loads; however, the equivalent uniform pressure height is calibrated using the US standard trucks. As the domestic standard trucks are different from the US standard trucks, in this study, new domestic equivalent uniform pressure height is proposed using the Boussinesq theory varying vehicle directions, Poisson's ratios of pavement layers, and retaining wall height. The proposed equivalent uniform pressure heights are generally higher than those proposed by the AASHTO design standards because the axle loads and their densities of two domestic standard trucks are higher than those of the US standard trucks. The most highest equivalent uniform pressure height was found for traffic direction perpendicular to longitudinal direction of retaining wall.

The heterogeneous network (HetNet) has been one of the key technologies in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) with growing capacity and coverage demands. However, the introduction of femtocells has brought serious co-layer interference and cross-layer interference, which has been a major factor affecting system throughput. It is generally acknowledged that the resource allocation has significant impact on suppressing interference and improving the system performance. In this paper, we propose a hybrid-clustering algorithm based on the $Mat{\acute{e}}rn$ hard-core process (MHP) to restrain two kinds of co-channel interference in the HetNet. As the impracticality of the hexagonal grid model and the homogeneous Poisson point process model whose points distribute completely randomly to establish the system model. The HetNet model based on the MHP is adopted to satisfy the negative correlation distribution of base stations in this paper. Base on the system model, the spectrum sharing problem with restricted spectrum resources is further analyzed. On the basis of location information and the interference relation of base stations, a hybrid clustering method, which takes into accounts the fairness of two types of base stations is firstly proposed. Then, auction mechanism is discussed to achieve the spectrum sharing inside each cluster, avoiding the spectrum resource waste. Through combining the clustering theory and auction mechanism, the proposed novel algorithm can be applied to restrain the cross-layer interference and co-layer interference of HetNet, which has a high density of base stations. Simulation results show that spectral efficiency and system throughput increase to a certain degree.

Calculating the relevant length of left turn storages in urban intersections is very crucial in road designs. A left turn lane consists of deceleration lanes and left turn storages. In this study, we developed methods for calculating relevant lengths of left turn storages that vary at each intersection using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) spatial images. Problems of conventional design techniques are applying the same number of left turn vehicles (N) using Poisson distribution without considering land use types, using a vehicle length that may not be measurable when applying the length of waiting vehicles (S), and using same storage length coefficient (${\alpha}$), 1.5, for every intersections. In order to solve these problems, we estimated the number of left turn vehicles (N) using an empirical distribution, suggested to use headways of vehicles for (S) to calculate the length of waiting vehicles (S) with a help of using UAV spatial images, and defined ranges of storage length coefficient (${\alpha}$) from 1.0 to 1.5 for flexible design. For more convenient design, it is suitable to classify two cases when possible to know and impossible to know about ratio of large trucks among vehicles when planning an intersection. We developed formula for each case to calculate left turn storage lengths of a minimum and a maximum. By applying developed methods and values, more efficient signalized intersection operation can be accomplished.
