This paper will focus on improving the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in Rayleigh fading environments. The proposed technique will use a previously published method that has been shown to improve OFDM performance in independent fading, based on ordered sub-carrier selection. Then, a simple non-iterative method for finding the optimal bit-loading allocation was proposed. It was also based on ordered sub-carrier selection. We compared both of these algorithms to an optimal bit-loading solution to determine their effectiveness in a correlated fading environment. The correlated fading was simulated using the JTC channel models. Our intent was not to create an optimal solution, but to create a low complexity solution that can be used in a wireless environment in which the channel conditions change rapidly and that require a simple algorithm for fast bit loading.

본 연구에서는 지난 2020년 2월에 발사된 정지궤도환경위성탑재체(Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer; GEMS)의 이산화황 산출 현업 알고리즘에서 오프셋 보정 계수 산정 방법이 이산화황 칼럼 농도 산출 결과에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. GEMS의 현업 이산화황 산출 알고리즘은 차등흡수분광법(Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy; DOAS)과 주성분분석방법(Principal component analysis; PCA)이 융합된 하이브리드 알고리즘이다. 하이브리드 알고리즘에서는 차등흡수분광법을 이용하여 스펙트럴 피팅 후 나오는 이산화황 경사층적분농도 값에 나타나는 오존에 의한 흡수 영향을 보정하기 위하여 편차 보정 과정을 필수적으로 거치게 되며, 오프셋 보정 계수를 산정하는 조건에 따라 이산화황 칼럼농도 산출결과가 달라질 수 있기 때문에 적절한 오프셋 보정 계수 값의 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 구름 화소가 많이 존재하는 날짜와 적게 존재하는 날짜에 대해 오존 보정 계수를 각각 계산하고, 각각의 오존 보정 계수를 GEMS 현업 이산화황 산출 알고리즘에 적용하여 산출한 이산화황 칼럼농도의 비교를 수행하였다. 구름 화소가 많이 존재하는 날의 GEMS 복사휘도 자료를 이용하여 계산된 오존 보정 계수를 사용한 경우, GEMS 관측 영역의 가장자리에 해당하는 인도 부근에서의 이산화황 칼럼농도의 표준편차가 1.27 DU, 한반도 부근에서 0.58 DU, 주변에 구름 화소가 많았던 홍콩 부근에서 0.77 DU로 나타났다. 한편, 구름 화소가 적은 날의 GEMS 자료를 이용하여 계산된 오존 보정 계수를 사용하였을 경우의 이산화황 칼럼농도의 표준편차는 인도주변에서 0.72 DU, 한반도 주변에서 0.38 DU, 홍콩 부근에서 0.44 DU로 다소 감소하였음을 확인하였으며, 구름 화소가 많은 날의 오존 보정 계수를 사용하여 이산화황을 산출한 경우 대비 비교적 안정적인 산출이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 이에 따라, GEMS 이산화황 산출 알고리즘의 불확실성 최소화 및 안정적인 산출을 위해서 적절한 조건에서의 오존 보정 계수 산정이 이루어져야 할 필요가 있다.

Titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized via alkaline hydrothermal treatment using commercial TiO₂ nanoparticles (P25). The TNTs were prepared at various TiO₂/NaOH ratios, hydrothermal temperatures, and hydrothermal times. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. TNTs were generated upon a decrease in the TiO₂/NaOH ratio due to the dissolution of TiO₂ in the alkaline solution and the generation of new Ti-O-Ti bonds to form titanate nanoplates and nanotubes. The hydrothermal treatment temperature and time were important factors for promoting the nucleation and growth of TNTs. The TNT catalyst with the largest surface area (389.32 m² g^-1) was obtained with a TiO₂/NaOH ratio of 0.25, a hydrothermal treatment temperature of 130 ℃, and a hydrothermal treatment time of 36 h. Additionally, we investigated the photocatalytic activity of methyl violet 2B (MV) over the TNT catalysts under UV irradiation and found that the degradation efficiencies of the TNTs were higher than that of P25. Among the TNT catalysts, the TNT catalyst that was hydrothermally synthesized for 36 h (TNT 36 h) exhibited a 96.9% degradation efficiency and a degradation rate constant that was 4.8 times higher than P25 due to its large surface area, which allowed for more contact between the MV molecules and TNT surfaces and facilitated rapid electron transfer. Finally, these results were correlated with the specific surface area.

In this study, a dithizone extraction technique involving purge & trap GC-MS was developed for the determination of methylmercury in biological samples, especially blood and fish. After alkaline digestion, methylmercury in biological samples was extracted into dithizone and back-extracted into aqueous sulfide solution. The extracted methylmercury was converted to the volatile ethyl derivative, purged and trapped onto a solid-phase collection medium, and then introduced into the GC-MS system. The determined MDLs of the established method were 0.9 ng·g?1 for biological samples and its accuracy and precision were found to be 93% and 3.8%, respectively. The method was validated by analysis of CRMs such as SRM 966, BCR 463 and IAEA 407 and all analytical results were within certified ranges with average RSDs of less than 6%. The analytical results of field-sampled fish also showed that the method can be successfully used as an alternative for commonly used distillation method followed by GC-CVAFS detection.

In this study, we investigate the potential use of $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) as effective UV shielding agent. In the typical synthesis, $SiO_2$ was coated over different types of $TiO_2$ (anatase and rutile) and ZnO by sol-gel method. The synthesized $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ NPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, SEM and TEM. The UV-vis absorbance and transmittance spectra of core@shell NPs showed an efficient blocking effect in the UV region and more than 90% transmittance in the visible region. XRD and SAED studies confirmed the formation of amorphous $SiO_2$ coated over the $TiO_2$ and ZnO NPs. The FESEM and TEM images shows that coating of $SiO_2$ over the surface of anatase, rutile $TiO_2$ and ZnO NPs resulted in the increase in particle size by ~30 nm. In order to study the UV light shielding capability of the samples, photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye on $TiO_2@SiO_2$ and $ZnO@SiO_2$ NPs was performed. Photocatalytic activity for both types of $TiO_2$ NPs was partially suppressed. In comparison, the photocatalytic activity of ZnO almost vanished after the $SiO_2$ coating.

Syngas laminar burning velocity measurements were carried out at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature using the Bunsen flame configuration with nozzle burner as a fundamental study on flame stability of syngas fuel. Representative syngas mixture compositions ($H_2$:CO) such as 25:75%, 50:50% and 75:25% and equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 1.4 have been conducted. Average laminar burning velocities have been determined by the stabilized nozzle burner flames using the angle method, radical surface area method and compared with the data obtained from the other literatures. And the results of each experimental methodologies in the various composition ratios and equivalence ratios were coincided with the result of numerical simulation. Especially, it was confirmed that there was necessary to choice a more accurate measurement methodology even the same static flame method for the various composition ratios of syngas fuel including hydrogen. Also, it was reconfirmed that the laminar burning velocities gradually increased with the increasing of hydrogen content in a fuel mixture.

본 연구에서는 처음으로 주성분분석(Principle component analysis; PCA) 방법을 이용하여 Sentinel-5p의 TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) 위성센서 원시자료로부터 산업활동 및 화산활동에 의해 발생한 이산화황 연직칼럼농도(Vertical column density; VCD)를 산출하였다. 본 연구에서 TROPOMI로부터 주성분분석방법을 이용하여 산출된 이산화황 연직칼럼농도는 차등흡수분광법(Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy; DOAS)을 이용하여 산출된 TROPOMI Level 2 이산화황 연직칼럼농도 산출물과 비교되었다. 산업활동과 같은 인위적 요인에 의하여 다량의 이산화황을 지표부근에 배출하는 동아시아 지역에서 TROPOMI 로부터 주성분분석방법으로 산출된 이산화황 연직칼럼농도와 차등흡수분광법을 이용하여 산출된 TROPOMI 이산화황 연직칼럼농도의 평균값은 각각 0.05 Dobson Unit (DU)와 -0.02 DU로 비슷한 값으로 나타났다. 두 산출물 사이의 기울기(Slope)는 모든 구름조건에 대하여 0.64, 상관계수(Correlation coefficient, R)는 0.51로 다소 낮은 상관관계를 보였으나, 구름비율이 0.5 이하인 픽셀에 대한 기울기는 0.68, 상관계수는 0.61로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 두 알고리즘에서 공통적으로 구름비율이 높을 때 지표부근에 대한 이산화황의 산출 민감도가 감소한다는 것을 의미한다. 화산활동에 의한 고농도 이산화황이 발생하는 지역인 인도네시아와 일본 남부 지역에서 두 알고리즘으로 산출된 이산화황 연직칼럼농도 사이의 상관계수는 모든 구름 조건에 대하여 0.90으로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 화산지역에서의 가스 분출로 인하여 고농도로 대류권 상층 혹은 성층권 하부에 주로 분포하는 이산화황에 대한 위성 기반 이산화황 산출 정확도가 높게 나타나기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Despite having many attractive properties, $ZrO_2$ ceramic has a low fracture toughness which limits its wide application. One of the most obvious tactics to improve its mechanical properties has been to add a reinforcing agent to formulate a nanostructured composite material. Nanopowders of $ZrO_2$ and Cr were synthesized from $CrO_3$ and Zr powder by high energy ball milling for 10 h. Dense nanocrystalline $2/3Cr-ZrO_2$ composite was consolidated by a high-frequency induction heated sintering method within 5 min at $600^{\circ}C$ from mechanically synthesized powder. The method was found to enable not only rapid densification but also the inhibition of grain growth, preserving the nano-scale microstructure. Highly dense $2/3Cr-ZrO_2$ composite with relative density of up to 99.5% was produced under simultaneous application of a 1 GPa pressure and the induced current. The hardness and fracture toughness of the composite were 534 kg/mm2 and $7MPa{\cdot}m1/2$, respectively. The composite was determined to have good biocompatibility.

$BaTiO_3$ nano powder can be synthesized by hydrate salt method at $120^{\circ}C$ in air. Decreasing the thickness of thick film, the nano dielectric particle is needed in electronic ceramics. However, the synthesis of $BaTiO_3$ nano particle at low temperature in air and their mechanism were not reported enough. And ultrasonic treatment can be tried because of low temperature process in air. Therefore, in this study, the $BaTiO_3$ nano powder was synthesised with the synthesis time and ultrasonic treatment at $120^{\circ}C$ in air. In the synthesis process, the effects of process were evaluated. From the experimental observation, the synthesis mechanism was proposed. The homogeneous $BaTiO_3$ particle was synthesised by KOH salt solution at $120^{\circ}C$ for 1hour. It was conformed that the ultrasonic treatment effected on the increase of synthesis rate. After cutting the salt powder using FIB, $BaTiO_3$ nano particles observed homogeneously in the cross-section of the salt particle.
