The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring the slumping resistance of resin composites and to relate it to the rheological characteristics. Five commercial hybrid composites (Z100. Z250. DenFil, Tetric Ceram. ClearFil) and a nanofill composite (Z350) were used to make disc-shaped specimens of 2 mm thickness. An aluminum mold with square shaped cutting surface was pressed onto the composite discs to make standardized imprints. The imprints were light-cured either immediately (non-slumped) or after waiting for 3 minutes at $25^{\circ}C$ (slumped). White stone replicas were made and then scanned for topography using a laser 3-D profilometer. Slumping resistance index (SRI) was defined as the ratio of the groove depth of the slumped specimen to that of the non-slumped specimen. The pre-cure viscoelasticity of each composite was evaluated by an oscillatory shear test and normal stress was measured by a squeeze test using a rheometer. Flow test was also performed using a flow tester. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the viscoelastic properties and the SRI. SRI varied between the six materials (Z100 < DenFil < Z250 < ClearFil < Tetric Ceram < Z350). The SRI was strongly correlated with the viscous (loss) shear modulus G' but not with the loss tangent. Also. slumping resistance was more closely related to the resistance to shear flow than to the normal stress. Slumping tendency could be quantified using the imprint method and SRI. The index may be applicable to evaluate the clinical handling characteristics of composites.

가스-액체 이젝터에 관한 수치해석은 3차원 CFD 모델로 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 이젝터의 유동특성과 질량전달특성에 대한 작동조건과 이젝터의 기하학적 모형의 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. CFD 결과 실험 데이터에 의하여 검증되었으며, 유동 분석과 이젝터 성능의 예측 또한 실행되었다. 작동상태의 변화는 0.2 $\sim$ 1.2 범위에서 가스-액체 유량비를 변화시킴으로서 주어진다. 혼합관의 $L_M/D_M$이 4 $\sim$ 10의 범위에서 변화를 주었다. CFD 연구는 길이와 직경비가 5.5일 때 체적 유량전달계수는 가스 유량이 증가함에 따라 증가한다는 것을 나타낸다. 동시에 $L_M/D_M$가 4일 때 체적유량전달계수는 기체-액체 유량비가 0.6에서 최대치에 도달한다. 또한, 체적 유량전달계수는 혼합 튜브길이가 증가함에 따라 감소한다.

This study concerns the distribution and dependence of moisture content(MC) in wood for same thickness in different vapor transmission conditions. The specimens were disks of 70-mm in diameter and 20-mm in thickness from quartersawn lumber of Korean red pine(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.). The experiments were conducted in ten different conditions on the difference of the vapor pressures by the JIS Z-0208. The distribution of moisture content in wood can be illustrated by two straight lines intersecting at the point of about ten percent Me. On the other hand, when more or less than about 10 percent, the distribution of the Me can be illustrated by one straight lines. Therefore, it is considered that the values of 10 percent Me has no relation to the wood and experimental conditions. It's assumed that 10 percent is the boundary point at which the moisture sorption energy changes. In a previous study, diffusion coefficient is almost constant with no relation to a thickness of the woods for the constant experimental conditions. But, in this study, it seems that diffusion coefficient from the moisture gradient vary with the Me of wood in different vapor transmission conditions.

In designing a resonant circuit of the inverter which puts induction heating with high frequency to the load, an inductance L of the circuit, the coupling coefficient of a transformer transfering the output power to load, and the coupling coefficient of load circuit heating with coil affect to the output power of a resonant circuit, the circuit Q and the frequency. Those characteristics of the circuit are analyzed through Thevenan's equivalent circuit of the coupling coefficient type which is derived from the T-type equivalent circuit of a transformer. On this equivalent circuit, the impedance of a transformer referred to its primary side is not only proportional the square of turn ratio, nZ, but also the square of coupling coefficient, K2 This paper proposed a more accurate fundamental method to design a resonant circuit of the inverter by using the Thevenan's equivalent circuit.

There has been many studies representing intellectual structures with multidimensional scaling(MDS) However MDS configuration is limited in representing local details and explicit structures. In this paper, we identified two components of MDS mapping approach; one is MDS algorithm and the other is preparation of data matrix. Various combinations of the two components of MDS mapping are compared through some measures of fit. It is revealed that the conventional approach composed of ALSCAL algorithm and Euclidean distance matrix calculated from Pearson's correlation matrix is the worst of the compared MDS mapping approaches. Otherwise the best approach to make MDS map is composed of PROXSCAL algorithm and z-scored Euclidean distance matrix calculated from Pearson's correlation matrix. These results suggest that we could obtain more detailed and explicit map of a knowledge domain through careful considerations on the process of MDS mapping.

현재 전 세계적으로 온실가스 농도 증가로 호우나 가뭄, 대설 등 지역에 따라 서로 상반되는 변화를 가져올 수 있다고 경고되고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 남해안지역과 경기북부지역에서 호우빈도가 증가하는 반면, 충정도 내륙지역과 경상북도에서는 호우빈도가 감소하고 5일 누적 강수량 또한 감소하여, 해당지역에서 가뭄이 발생할 경우 심화될 가능성이 높아진다고 보고된 바 있다. 기후변화 시나리오에 분석결과에서도 우리나라의 경우 평균적으로 강우일수는 작아지며, 강우강도는 커지는 결과들이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과들은 가뭄의 발생가능성이 높아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 발생된 가뭄의 특성을 분석하고 가뭄의 특성과 기상인자간의 관계를 Quantile regression 분석을 통해 살펴보고자 한다. 가뭄의 특성과 기상인자(엘니뇨, 강수량 등)의 관계에 있어서 기상인자들의 평균을 이용하는 일반적인 회귀분석은 전체 데이터의 영향에 따른 가뭄특성인자와의 관계를 보여준다. 하지만 강수량과 가뭄과의 관계에서와 같이 강수량의 극값보다는 적은 강수량 혹은 무강우일수가 가뭄과 밀접한 관련을 보여준다. 이러한 점에서 이상치들에 영향을 배재할 수 있는 Quantile regression을 사용하여 Quantile에 따른 기상인자와 가뭄특성과의 관계를 규명하고 평가해 보고자 한다. 본 연구에서 적용한 Quantile Regression 기법은 회귀계수의 추정에 있어서 회귀인자의 신뢰성을 아래와 같은 Quantile-회귀계수 그래프를 통해 분석할 수 있으며, 로버스트 통계량의 특징인 분산이 적은 안정적인 추정량을 확보할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 아래식은 Quantile regression의 회귀계수 추정식을 나타낸다. $$arg\;in\;{n\\\;p(y_i-f(x_i,\;z_i,\;{\cdots}))\\ =1}$$ 여기서, $y_i$는 가뭄특성값을 $x_i$, $z_i$, $\cdots$는 기상인자를 나타낸다. $$p(y-q)={{\beta}(y-q)\;y{\geq_-}q \\ (1-{\beta})(q-y)\;y<q}$$ ${\beta}$는 quantile을 나타내며 0< ${\beta}$ <1범위를 갖는다.

The study adopted extended Kalman filter technique in an effort to predict Z-R relationship parameter as a stable value in real-time. Toward this end, a parameter estimation model was established based on extended Kalman filter in consideration of non-linearity of Z-R relationship. A state-space model was established based on a study that was conducted by Adamowski and Muir (1989). Two parameters of Z-R relationship were set as state variables of the state-space model. As a result, a stable model where a divergence of Kalman gain and state variables are not generated was established. It is noteworthy that overestimated or underestimated parameters based on a conventional method were filtered and removed. As application of inappropriate parameters might cause physically unrealistic rain rate estimation, it can be more effective in terms of quantitative precipitation estimation. As a result of estimation on radar rainfall based on parameters predicted with the extended Kalman filter, the mean field bias correction factor turned out to be around 1.0 indicating that there was a minor difference from the gauge rain rate without the mean field bias correction. In addition, it turned out that it was possible to conduct more accurate estimation on radar rainfall compared to the conventional method.
