The present investigation is concerned with the degradation characteristics of cast stainless steel(CF8M), exposed to the $\sigma$-phase degradation at $700^{\circ}C$. In the present paper, the degradation of CF8 M at $700^{\circ}C$ is evaluated by a non-destructive test, DL-EPR(double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation). The surface of specimens is observed by using scanning electron microscopy after DL-EPR test. Also. chromium contents of matrix, grain boundary and ferrite phase are analyzed by electron probe X-ray micro analyzer. Through the experiments, the following results are obtained 1) The degree of sensitization(DOS) of CF8M aged up to 15hr at $700^{\circ}C$ is increased with acing time while that is decreased with aging time from 15hr to 150hr. 2) The impact energy decreases with increase of $\sigma$-phase while DOS increases with $\sigma$-phase until aging time reaches to 15hr. After the aging time. 15hr, the $\sigma$-phase and the rate of impact energy with respect to aging time decreases. Therefore the degradation behavior of the CF8M can be evaluated by comparing SEM micrographs and the value of DOS.

SiC 섬유는 $1800^{\circ}C$까지 불활성과 공기 분위기에서 융해나 산화 문제 없이 사용할 수 있다. SiC 섬유는 분진 필터링 공정의 백필터로 상업화된 산업용 백 필터보다 훨씬 높은 온도인 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 사용이 가능하다. 하지만 제강 산업과 화력발전소의 극한 환경에서 미세 분진과의 반응으로 인한 SiC 섬유의 열화에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 SiC 섬유를 제강 분진, 화력발전소 분진과 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 반응시켜 섬유 표면의 열화된 형상을 SEM으로 관찰하고 섬유 표면 및 내부로의 산소 확산의 정도를 EDS로 분석하였다.

Amorphous oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated with 0.5 wt% silicon doped zinc tin oxide (a-0.5SZTO) thin film deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. In order to investigate the effect of annealing treatment on the electrical properties of TFTs, a-0.5SZTO thin films were annealed at three different temperatures ($300^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, and $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in a air atmosphere. The structural and electrical properties of a-0.5SZTO TFTs were measured using X-ray diffraction and a semiconductor analyzer. As annealing temperature increased from $300^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$, no peak was observed. This provided crystalline properties indicating that the amorphous phase was observed up to $500^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of a-0.5SZTO TFTs, such as the field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) of $24.31cm^2/Vs$, on current ($I_{ON}$) of $2.38{\times}10^{-4}A$, and subthreshold swing (S.S) of 0.59 V/decade improved with the thermal annealing treatment. This improvement was mainly due to the increased carrier concentration and decreased structural defects by rearranged atoms. However, when a-0.5SZTO TFTs were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, a crystalline peak was observed. As a result, electrical properties degraded. ${\mu}_{FE}$ was $0.06cm^2/Vs$, $I_{ON}$ was $5.27{\times}10^{-7}A$, and S.S was 2.09 V/decade. This degradation of electrical properties was mainly due to increased interfacial and bulk trap densities of forming grain boundaries caused by the annealing treatment.

Construction while being an economic activity that provides facilities and infrastructure, it is beneficial to man in some aspects and detrimental in others. There have been environmental concerns related to construction activities globally which mainly focus on atmospheric emissions, depletion of natural resources and energy issues. This study was carried out to assess the impacts of construction activities on the environment in Iganga Municipality and to propose measures for their mitigation. The methodology included: review of relevant literature, observations of the general environmental effects of construction activities, focus groups and a survey conducted among construction industry role players to determine their perceptions and opinions regarding environmental impact of construction activities. The collected data was presented in tabular form and analysed by description of responses to questions. The study revealed that forests were the most greatly degraded due to high demand of timber for construction followed by wetlands degradation. The findings of this study will be useful to architects, designers and builders in order to carefully design buildings and other infrastructure that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Construction materials and their mode of acquisition are harmful threats to the environment. There is need to reduce the consumption of these materials through recycling and reusing wastes to reduce on waste generation, use of virgin materials and the subsequent waste of energy used in new material production.

비선형 음향효과를 계측함에 의해서 재료열화를 평가하는 연구는 오래 전부터 있어 왔다. 여기서, 비선형 음향효과를 계측하는 가장 일반적인 방법은 전파된 수신 신호에서 기본주파수 성분과 2차 고조파 성분의 절대적인 크기를 계측하는 것이다. 이 목적을 위해서 일반적으로 파워스펙트럼 해석법이 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, 파워스펙트럼은 신호처리 후에도 주파수 영역에서 가우스 잡음이 혼재한다는 단점이 있다. 게다가, 비선형 효과에 의해서 발생되는 2차 고조파 성분의 크기는 너무 작아서 잡음에 묻혀버릴 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 주파수 영역에서 가우스 잡음을 제거할 수 있는 바이스펙트럼 해석법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 잡음이 크게 혼재된 신호에서도 참 값에 가까운 비선형 파라미터를 구할 수 있음을 밝혔다. 또한, 실제 경우에 이 방법의 유용함을 확인하기 위하여 피로 하중에 의해서 고의로 열화시킨 여러 시편에 대하여 파워스펙트럼과 바이스펙트럼을 구하여 비교하였다.

Graphene oxide (GO) powder processed by Hummer's method is mixed with p-type $Bi_2Te_3$ based thermoelectric materials by a high-energy ball milling process. The synthesized GO-dispersed p-type $Bi_2Te_3$ composite powder has a composition of $Bi_{0.5}Sb_{1.5}Te_3$ (BSbT), and the powder is consolidated into composites with different contents of GO powder by using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. It is found that the addition of GO powder significantly decreases the thermal conductivity of the pure BSbT material through active phonon scattering at the newly formed interfaces. In addition, the electrical properties of the GO/BSbT composites are degraded by the addition of GO powder except in the case of the 0.1 wt% GO/BSbT composite. It is found that defects on the surface of GO powder hinder the electrical transport properties. As a result, the maximum thermoelectric performance (ZT value of 0.91) is achieved from the 0.1% GO/BSbT composite at 398 K. These results indicate that introducing GO powder into thermoelectric materials is a promising method to achieve enhanced thermoelectric performance due to the reduction in thermal conductivity.

Hot-press forming(HPF) steel can be applied successfully to auto parts because of its superior mechanical properties. However, its resistances to aqueous corrosion and the subsequent hydrogen embrittlement(HE) decrease significantly when the steel is exposed to corrosive environments. Considering that the resistances are greatly dependent on the properties of coating materials formed on the steel surface, the characteristics of the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors regarding the types of coating material should be clearly understood. Electrochemical polarization and impedance measurements reveal a higher corrosion potential and polarization resistance and a lower corrosion current of the Al-coating compared with Zn-coating. Furthermore, it was expected that the diffusion kinetics of the hydrogen atoms would be much slower in the Al-coating, and this would be due mainly to the much lower diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the Al-coating with a face-centered cubic structure. The superior surface inhibiting effect of the Al-coating, however, is degraded by the formation of local cracks in the coated layer under severe stress conditions, and therefore further study will be necessary to gain a clearer understanding of the effect of cracks formed on the coated layer on the subsequent corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors.

이 논문은 고강도매질 CR(Computed Radiography) 영상의 잡음을 모델링하는 적절한 접근법을 제시한다. 잡음 유형의 통계적이고 비선형적 특성이 구체적으로 고안되었다. CR영상은 컴퓨터 처리에 의해 코드화되기 이전 이미 훼손된다. 다양한 형태의 잡음은 비록 디지털화된 상태로 검출된다 하더라도 통상 방사선 영상을 오염시킨다. 양자 방출시의 포아송 분포는 CR 영상판에서의 광자 분포에서 포아송 잡음 분포를 항상 유지하지 않는다. 그 통계적 특성은 재질 특성에 의해 상대적이며 경우의존적이다. 통계적 잡음모델링 과정에서 통상적인 포아송, 이항 내지는 가우스 통계분포의 가정이 고려되었으며 아울러 비선형 효과 또한 포함시켰다. 이는 잡음 영역의 고저 전 방사선량에 걸쳐 추정하는 해석적 모델을 구현한다. 그리고 이 분석적 접근은 고강도 강판튜브 스텝웨지의 방사선측정실험을 통해 관측한 CR 영상데이터에서 구현되었다. 그 결과는 매질의 두께변화에 따른 잡음의 일관성, 잡음분포특성, SNR 및 비선형 보간을 측정하는 상호비교의 파라미터연구에 유용하다.

The zinc oxide (ZnO) material as the II-VI compound semiconductor is useful in various fields of device applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells and gas sensors due to its wide direct band gap of 3.37eV and high exciton binding energy of 60meV at room temperature. In this study, the ZnO nanorods were deposited onto homogenous buffer layer/Si(100) substrates by a hydrothermal synthesis. The Effects of the buffer layer annealing and post annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods grown by a hydrothermal synthesis were investigated. For the buffer layer annealing case, the annealed buffer layer surface became rougher with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$, while it was smoothed with more increasing of annealing temperature due to the evaporation of buffer layer. It was found that the roughest surface of buffer layer improved the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods. For the post annealing case, the hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods were annealed with various temperatures ranging from 450 to $900^{\circ}C$. Similarly in the buffer layer annealing case, the post annealing enhanced the properties of ZnO nanorods with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$. However, it was degraded with further increasing of annealing temperature due to the violent movement of atoms and evaporation. Finally, the buffer layer annealing and post annealing treatment could efficiently improve the properties of hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods. The morphology and structural properties of ZnO nanorods grown by the hydrothermal synthesis were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical properties were also analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement.
