Three-dimensional computer modeling using FLAC3D had been carried out fur evaluating the thermal-mechanical stability of a high-level radioactive waste repository excavated in several hundred deep location. For effective modeling, a FISH program was made and the geological conditions and rock properties achieved from the drilling sites in Kosung and Yusung areas were used. Sensitivity analysis fer the stresses and temperatures from the modeling designed utilizing fractional factorial design was carried out. From the sensitivity analysis, the important design parameters and their interactions could be determined. From this study, it was found that deposition hole spacing is the most important parameter on the thermal and mechanical stability. The second and third most important parameters were disposal tunnel and buffer thickness.

Ferromagnetic 3d 전이금속과 paramagnetic 5d 금속으로 이루어지진 Pt-Co 계는 자기이방적 (magnetic anisotropy) 성질로 인하여 많은 관심을 모으고 있는 계로서는 다층박막 및 합금박막에 대한 지기적 성질에 대한 많은 연구가 있어 왔다. 최근 sputtering method 에 의해 제작된 Pt-Co 합금박막에 대해 Ar 기체분압에 따라 보자력 (coercivity)이 변화되고 PMA (perpendicular magnetic anisotropy)를 갖는 것을 관측하였다. PMA의 근원은 주로 계면에서의 anisotropy 에너지와 관련이 있는 것으로 이해되기 때문에 합금박막의 경우는 PMA가 불가능한 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 그럼으로서 PMA에 대한 근원에 대한 명확한 해석이 필요하게 되었다. 또한 보자력(coercivity)은 불순물의 함량이 감소할수록, 그리고 내부적 변형이 제거될수록 감소하기 때문에, 계면 및 결정구조와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 자기적 특성을 관찰하고자 [Pt(51 )/Co(112 )]4, [Pt(90 )/Co(66 )]4, 그리고 [Pt(121 )/Co(30 )]4, 다층박막과 이들 박막을 80kV Ar+ 이온선 혼합후 박막의 결정성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 GXRD (glancing x-ray diffraction) 스펙트럼을 얻어보았다. 그 결과 세 system 모두 disordered fcc 합금박막임을 확인하였다. fcc(111) 방향에 대한 평균 격자공간(lattice spacing)의 크기변화는 한층 당의 Co 두께가 두꺼울수록 거의 선형적으로 감소함을 볼수 있었다. MOKE 실험에 의하면, 이들 다층박막이나 합금박막의 경우 모두, in-plane 방향에 대해 자화 용이축(easy magnetization axis)을 가지고 있었다. 그리고 보자력의 크기에 있어서, 다층 박막의 경우에 있어서 Co 층에 두께 두꺼울수록 보자력의 크기가 감소하였지만 그림1에서와 같이 합금박막의 경우는 정반대로 Co층의 두께가 얇을수록 보자력의 크기가 감소함을 관찰하였다.

Microstrip $8{ imes}2$ sub-array antennas for a extension to active phased array antennas are designed, fabricated and measured for TX/RX dual operation in satellite communication and a reception of satellite broadcasting. For the frequency range from 11.7 to 12.75 GHz for RX and from 14 to 14.5 GHz for TX, two orthogonal linear polarizations of ${pm}45^{\circ}$ are used to transmit and receive simultaneously with one radiator. They adopt dual resonance between two patches for wideband characteristics in RX band and show isolation characteristics over 20 dB. An electrical beam tilt of $30^{\circ}$ is achieved and a tapered power distribution, narrow element spacing are used for the purpose of low side-lobe characteristics.

We investigate theoretically the tolerance of 40 Gbps phase-modulated (PM) duobinary signals using a vestigial sideband (VSB) filter on impairments which occurred in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, compared to the conventional duobinary signals. Our simulation results show that PM duobinary signals can't have the gain on the spectral efficiency achieved by utilizing the VSB filtering technique. In order to increase the spectral efficiency, they indispensably require to be transmitted at the optimum bandwidth of multiplexer (MUX) and demultiplexer (DEMUX) since they are susceptible to inter-channel crosstalk. It is also shown that the PM duobinary modulation format has a large tolerance on self-phase modulation (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) under the condition which MUX and DEMUX have been tuned at an optimum bandwidth; it has 1.2 dB power penalty at the fiber launching power (FLP) of 15 dBm and the channel spacing of 50 GHz.

In this paper, W-type reflector antennas modified from corner reflector antenna structure were proposed and the radiation characteristics were analyzed using the method of moments. The analysis results such as gain, F/B, half power beamwidth, and radiation pattern are presented as functions of dipole height h and back edge spacing d. Also, the proposed antenna was compared with corner reflector antennas in the same size of side reflectors, W-type reflector antenna was found to exhibit somewhat higher gain and larger F/B than corner reflector antennas. To verify the analysis results, W-type reflector antenna was fabricated and the radiation characteristics were measured. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results.

In this work, an experimental research has been performed on Steel Fiber-Steel Reinforced Concrete (SFSRC)specimens subjected to four-point bending tests to evaluate the feasibility of mutual replacement of steel fibers and conventional reinforcement through studying failure modes, load-deflection curves, stiffness of characteristic points, stiffness degradation curves and damage analysis. The variables considered in this experiment included steel fiber volume percentage with and without conventional reinforcements (stirrups or steel fibers) with shear span depth ratios of S/D=2.5 and 3.5. Experimental results revealed that increasing the volume percentage of steel fiber decreased the creation and propagation of shear and bond cracks, just like shortening the stirrups spacing. Higher crack resistance and suturing ability of steel fiber can improve the stability of its bearing capacity. Both steel fibers and stirrups improved the stiffness and damage resistance of specimens where stirrups played an essential role and therefore, the influence of steel fibers was greatly weakened. Increasing S/D ratio also weakened the effect of steel fibers. An equation was derived to calculate the bending stiffness of SFSRC specimens, which was used to determine mid span deflection; the accuracy of the proposed equation was proved by comparing predicted and experimental results.

The local heat transfer and total pressure drops of developed turbulent flows in the ribbed rectangular convergent/divergent channels with ${\Lambda}/V-shaped$ ribs have been investigated experimentally. The channels have the exit hydraulic diameter ($D_{ho}$) to inlet hydraulic diameter ($D_{hi}$) ratios of 0.67 for convergence and 1.49 for divergence, respectively. The ${\Lambda}/V-shaped$ ribs with three different flow attack angles of $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $60^{\circ}$ are manufactured with a fixed rib height (e) of 10 mm and the ratio of rib spacing (S) to height (e) of 10 on the walls. Thermal performances of the ribbed rectangular convergent/divergent channels are compared with the smooth straight tube under identical pumping power. The results show that the flow attack angle of $45^{\circ}$ with ${\Lambda}-shaped$ rib has the greatest thermal performance at all the Reynolds numbers studied in the convergent channel; whereas, the flow attack angle of $60^{\circ}$ with V-shaped rib has the greatest thermal performance over Reynolds number of 30,000 in the divergent channel.

Functionalization of montmorillonite clay has been done using 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane using water as a dispersing medium. Qualitative evidence of the presence or silane attached to the clay surface has been identified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Increase in silane concentration decreases the adsorbed/intercalated ratio calculated using differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG). Average d-spacing calculated using X-ray diffraction initially increases with silane concentration and decreases slightly at higher silane concentration. The influence of processing temperature on the silane functionalization of clay has also been investigated and it shows that chemical grafting of silane on the clay surface is observed with increasing processing temperature.

MXenes are a new family of 2D transition metal carbide nanosheets analogous to graphene (Lv et al., 2017; Sun et al., 2018). Due to the easy availability, hydrophilic behavior, and tunable chemistry of MXenes, their use in applications for environmental pollution remediation such as heavy metal adsorption has recently been explored (Li et al., 2017). In this study, three-dimensional (3D) MXene ($Ti_3C_2T_x$) films with high adsorption capacity, good mechanical strength, and high selectivity for specific radionuclide from aquose solution were successfully fabricated by a polymeric precursor method using vacuum-assisted filtration. The highest removal efficiency on the films was 99.54%, 95.61%, and 82.79% for $Sr^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, and $Cs^+$, respectively, using a film dosage of 0.06 g/ L in the initial radionuclide solution (each radionuclide concentration = 1 mg/L and pH = 7.0). Especially, the adsorption process reached an equilibrium within 30 min. The expanded interlayer spacing of $Ti_3C_2T_x$ sheets in MXene films showed excellent radionuclide selectivity ($Cs^+$ and/or $Sr^{2+}/Co^{2+}$) (Simon, 2017). Besides, the MXene films was not only able to be easily retrieved from an aqueous solution by filtration after decontamination processes, but also to selectively separate desired target radionuclides in the solutions. Therefore, the newly developed MXene ($Ti_3C_2T_x$) films has a great potential for radionuclide removal from aqueous solution.
