Central composite design along with response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to improve the fermentation process in onion (Allium cepa) wine production. The effects of different fermentation parameters (time, temperature, and initial sugar content) were found to be significant with respect to the physicochemical and sensory properties of wine. The maximum score for the alcoholic content was obtained at $29.27^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, 103.43 h fermentation time, and $27.52^{\circ}Brix$ initial sugar content. The maximum score for overall palatability was obtained at $39.27^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, 57.28 h fermentation time, and $22.14^{\circ}Brix$ initial sugar content. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.9620 and 0.9060 for alcoholic content and overall palatability, respectively. The ranges of the optimum fermentation conditions ($28{\sim}32^{\circ}C$, 80~90 hr, and $20{\sim}25^{\circ}Brix$) were obtained by superimposing the response surfaces with regard to the alcoholic content and overall palatability of onion wine.

In this study, the effects of multi-dipole type of magnets on the characteristics of the inductively coupled plasmas and $SiO_2$ etch properties were investigated. As the magnets, 4 pairs of permanent magnets were used and, to etch $SiO_2, C_2F_6, CHF_3, C_4F_8, H_2$, and their combinations were used. The characteristics of the magnetized inductively coupled plasmas were investigated using a Langmuir probe and an optical emission spectrometer, and $SiO_2$ etch rates and the etch selectivity over photoresist were measured using a stylus profilometer. The use of multi-dipole magnets increased the uniformity of the ion density over the substrate location even though no significant increase of ion density was observed with the magnets. The use of the magnets also increased the electron temperature and radical densities while reducing the plasma potential. When $SiO_2$ was etched using the fluorocarbon gases, the significant increase of $SiO_2$ etch rates and also the increase of etch uniformity over the substrate were obtained using the magnets. In case of gas combinations with hydrogen, $C_4F_8/H_2$ showed the highest etch rates and etch selectivities over photoresist among the gas combinations with hydrogen used in the experiment. By optimizing process parameters at 1000 Watts of inductive power with the magnets, the highest $SiO_2$ etch rate of 8000 $\AA$/min could be obtained for 50% $C_4F_8/50% H_2$.

In this study, we applied the Radar-AWS Rainrates (RAR), weather radar-based quantitative precipitation estimations (QPEs), to the Yongdam study watershed in order to perform the flood runoff simulation and calculate the inflow of the dam during flood events using hydrologic model. Since the Yongdam study watershed is a representative area of the mountainous terrain in South Korea and has a relatively large number of monitoring stations (water level/flow) and data compared to other dam watershed, an accurate analysis of the time and space variability of radar rainfall in the mountainous dam watershed can be examined in the flood modeling. HEC-HMS, which is a relatively simple model for adopting spatially distributed rainfall, was applied to the hydrological simulations using HEC-GeoHMS and ModClark method with a total of eight independent flood events that occurred during the last five years (2014 to 2018). In addition, two NCL and Python script programs are developed to process the radar-based precipitation data for the use of hydrological modeling. The results demonstrate that the RAR QPEs shows rather underestimate trends in larger values for validation against gauged observations (R² 0.86), but is an adequate input to apply flood runoff simulation efficiently for a dam watershed, showing relatively good model performance (E_NS 0.86, R² 0.87, and PBIAS 7.49%) with less requirements for the calibration of transform and routing parameters than the spatially averaged model simulations in HEC-HMS.

Effects of remote hydrogen plasma cleaning process parameters on the removal of Fe impurities on Si surfaces and the Fe removal mechanism were investigated. Fe removal efficiency is enhanced with decreasing the plasma exposure time and increasing the rf-power. The optimum plasma exposure time and rf-power are 1 min and 100W. respectively, in the range below 10 min and 100W. Fe removal efficiency is better under lower pressures than higher pressures, and the optimum $\textrm{H}_2$ flow rate was found to be 20 and 60sccm, respectively, under a low and a high pressure. The post-RHP(remote hydrogen plasma) annealing enhanced metallic contaminants removal efficiency, and the highest efficiency was achieved at $600^{\circ}C$. According to the AFM analysis results Si surface roughness was improved by 30-50%, which seems to be due to the removal of particles by the plasma cleaning. Also. Fe impurities removal mechanisms by remote hydrogen plasma are discussed.

HfN/Si$_3$N$_4$and NbN/Si$_3$N$_4$ multilayer coatings were deposited onto a high speed tool steel substrate by reactive sputtering and their mechanical properties were evaluated in terms of the dependence of hardness and adhesion strength on the sputter deposition process parameters. The hardnesses of both HfN/Si$_3$N$_4$and NbN/Si$_3$N$_4$ multiplayer coatings increase up to the flux ratio of 0.4 but nearly do not change after that as the $N_2$/Ar flux ratio in nitride sputter deposition increases. The hardnesses of both multiplayer coatings nearly do not change with annealing at low temperatures but decrease owing to oxidation with annealing at a high temperature like 80$0^{\circ}C$ after depositing the layers by sputtering. Post-annealing at low temperatures increases the adhesion strength of the multilayers. but high temperature annealing is not desirable since it decreases the adhesion strength besides the hardness deterioration.

The void ratio is an important parameter for reflecting the soil behavior including physical property, compressibility, and relative density. The void ratio can be obtained by laboratory test with extracted soil samples. However, the specimen has a possibility to be easily disturbed due to the stress relief when extracting, vibration during transportation, and error in experimental process. Thus, the theoretical equations have been suggested for obtaing the void ratio based on the elastic wave velocities. The objective of this paper is to verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical solution through the error norm. The paper covers the theoretical methods of Wood, Gassmann and Foti. The elastic wave velocity is determined by the Field Velocity Probe in the southern part of Korean Peninsular. And the rest parameters are assumed based on the reference values. The Gassmann method shows the high reliability on determining the void ratio. The error norm is also analyzed as substitution of every parameter. The results show every equation has various characteristics. Thus, this paper may be widely applied for obtaining the void ratio according to the field condition.

Hydration is the main reason for the growth of the material properties. An exact parameter to control the chemical and physical process is not the time, but the degree of hydration. Therefore, it is reasonable that development of all material properties and the formation of microstructure should be formulated in terms of degree of hydration. Mathematical formulation of degree of hydration is based on combination of reaction rate functions. The effect of moisture conditions as well as temperature on the rate of reaction is considered in the degree of hydration model. This effect is subdivided into two contributions: water shortage and water distribution. The former is associated with the effect of W/C ratio on the progress of hydration. The water needed for progress of hydration do not exist and there is not enough space for the reaction products to form. The tatter is associated with the effect of free capillary water distribution in the pore system. Physically absorption layer does not contribute to progress of hydration and only free water is available for further hydration. In this study, the effects of chemical composition of cement, W/C ratio, temperature, and moisture conditions on the degree of hydration are considered. Parameters that can be used to indicate or approximate the real degree of hydration are liberated heat of hydration, amount of chemically bound water, and chemical shrinkage, etc. Thus, the degree of heat liberation and adiabatic temperature rise could be determined by prediction of degree of hydration.

The noise prediction of motor driving system is one of the most important parts in EV/HEV, as the number of power electronic devices increases. This paper describes the mechanism of noise making process and proposes a simulation model of motor driving system for the prediction of the conducted noise. Theoretical calculations and model based simulations were carried out. DOD-dependent-battery parameters were extracted by AC analysis, and an inverter model including dynamic diode was used. Furthermore, 2-D EM tool was used for the motor modeling and was combined with the circuit models of battery and inverter. The simulated voltages, currents and spectrums in the motor driving system showed qualitatively meaningful results, suggesting the validness of the suggested modeling methods.

Moxa-combustion therapy makes use of heat stimulus and chemicals result form when cauterize the skin with moxa cones to medical cares. Despite an extensive evidence-base guiding the selection of stimulation parameters and attributes of subject, little methodologically research regarding the attributes of moxa cautery in need to provide effective stimulation. To determine moxibustion's effects of the three different moxa cautery made by three different company(as A, B, C), the small intestinal motility in rats were observed after moxibustion at ST36. Under anesthesia, each intensities(1, 5, 10 times), two regions(left and right at ST36) and a quantity(as number of 1, 5, 10 times at once) were applied to the groups divided with sex. In each intensities groups, the A product made increase with 5, 10 times in male and female group. The B and C product made increase with 10 times in male group and the B product made increase with 1, 5, 10 times and the C product made increase with 5 times in female group. In two regions(left and right at ST36) groups, the A and C product made increase with 1(right), 5(right) times and the B product made increase with 1(left), 10(left), 10(right) times in male group. In female group, the A product made increase with 5(left), 5(right), 10(right) times and the B product made increase with 1(left), 10(left), 10(right) times and the C product made increase with 5(left), 10(left) times. In a quantity(as number of 1, 5, 10 times at once) groups, the A and B product did not show any changes but the C product made increase with a quantity of 10 times in male group. In female group, The B product made increase with a quantity of 1 times and the C product made increase with a quantity of 5 times, but the A product did not show any changes. Three different moxa cautery made by three different company made differents result in each group divided with sex. With these results, it was suggested that we should consider the a process of manufacture and moxa cautery's quality for the adequate value of moxibustion.

In this study, welding of pure titanium was carried out by using a continuous wave fiber laser with a maximum output of 6.3 kW. Because brittle regions form easily in titanium as a result of oxidation or nitriding, the weld must be protected from the atmosphere by using an appropriate shielding gas. Experiments were performed by changing the type and the flow rate of shielding gases to obtain the optimal shielding condition, and the weldability was then evaluated. The degree of oxidation and nitriding was distinguished by observing the color of beads, and weld microstructure was observed by using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties of the weld were examined by measuring hardness. When the weld was oxidized or nitrified, the bead color was gray or yellow, and the oxygen or nitrogen content in the bead surface and overall weld tended to be high, as a result of which the hardness of the weld was thrice that of the base metal. A sound silvery white bead was obtained by using Ar as the shielding gas.
