  • The device performances of N-channel Tunneling FET have been characterized with different intrinsic length between drain and gate($L_{in}$), drain and source doping, permittivity and oxide thickness when the total effective channel length is constant. N-channel Tunneling FET of SOI structure have been used in characterization. $L_{in}$ was from 30nm to 70nm, dose concentration of drain and source were from $2{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$ to $2{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$ and from $1{\times}10^{14}cm^{-2}$ to $3{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$, permittivity was from 3.9 to 29, and oxide thickness was from 3nm to 9nm. The device performances were characterized by Subthreshold slope(S-slope), On/off ratio, and leakage current. From the simulation results, the leakage current have been reduced for long $L_{in}$ and low drain doping. S-slope have been reduced for high source doping, high permittivity and thin oxide thickness. With considering the leakage current and S-slope, it is desirable that are long $L_{in}$, low drain doping, high source doping, high permittivity and thin oxide thickness to optimize device performance in n-channel Tunneling FET.

  • The present study investigated the effects of processing parameters such as time (10, 20, 30, 40 min), pressure (25, 50, 75, 100 MPa), and the salinity of brine (0~10%(w/v)) on jacopever (Sebastes schlegeli Hilgendorf) in order to establish optimization of the three factors using a high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) machine. To do so, it analyzed the quality characteristics of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), trimethylamine (TMA), total bacterial counts, dynamic viscoelasticities, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) properties. First, when the time increased to 40 mins, by 10 min intervals, the total bacterial counts in HHP groups under $25^{\circ}C$, 100 MPa, and 4%(w/v) brine were significantly decreased except for the first 10 min in comparison to the control group. In regards to DSC properties, the onset temperature ($T_O$) of the first endothermal curve was significantly reduced. Second, when the pressure level increased up to 100 MPa by 25 MPa increments, the total bacterial counts in the HHP samples significantly decreased for 20 min at 50 MPa or higher. As the pressure increased, G', G" and the slope of tan ${\delta}$ decreased (except for 50 MPa). Third, in regards to the salinities of brine, when the HHP processing was treated at 100 MPa, $25^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, the total bacterial counts of all the HHP groups significantly decreased in comparison to those of the control group. A significant difference was found in the enthalpy of the second endothermic curve in the 6~10%(w/v) (except 7%(w/v)) HHP groups. Therefore, the salinity of the immersion water under the HHP condition was appropriate when it was lower than 6%(w/v). The present study demonstrated that the optimum parameter condition according to/under the condition of the microbial inhibition and economic effects using an HHP would be the reaction time for 20 min, reaction pressure at 100 MPa, and the salinity of 4%(w/v) brine.

  • Four-dimensional response surface methodology was used for optimizing preparation conditions and monitoring sensory quality of instant rice gruel prepared using oyster mushroom and brown rice. Water absorption time of brown rice and glutinous rice to prepare instant rice gruel were 50 hr at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;1\;hr\;at\;20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum conditions predicted for each corresponding sensory properties of instant rice gruel were 47.58% (rate of brown rice in water-absorbed brown and glutinous rice), 569.68 mL (content of solution) and 52.40 min (heating time at $120^{\circ}C$) in viscosity of instant rice gruel, 47.15%, 568.49 mL and 53.04 min in taste of instant rice gruel, 44.06%, 558.54 mL and 53.84 min in mouth-feel of instant rice gruel, and 46.20%, 561.64 mL and 51.60 min in overall acceptance of instant rice gruel, respectively. The optimum conditions, which satisfy all sensory properties of rice gruel, were 44%, 620 mL and 56 min in rate of brown rice in water-absorbed brown and glutinous rice, content of solution and heating time, respectively. Sensory scores predicted at the optimum conditions were in good agreement with experimental sensory scores.

  • In this study, pretreatment of organic matters with $MIEX^{(R)}$ was evaluated using bench-scale experimental procedures on four organic matters to determine its effect on subsequent UF membrane filtration. For comparison, coagulation process was also used as a pretreatment of UF membrane filtration. Moreover, the membrane fouling potential was identified using different fractions and molecular weights of organic matters. From the removal property of MW organic matters by coagulation process for the sample water NOM and AOM, the removal efficiency of high MW organic matters were much higher than those of low MW organic matters. It was shown that the removal efficiency of high MW organic matter more than 10 kDa was lower than that of low MW organic matter for $MIEX^{(R)}$ process. For the change of permeate flux by the pretreatment process, $MIEX^{(R)}$+UF process showed high removal efficiency of organic matter as compared with coagulation-UF processes, but high reduction rate of permeate flux was presented through the reduction of removal efficiency of high MW organic matter. From sequential filtration test results in order to examine the effect of MW of organic matter on membrane fouling, it was found that the membrane foulant was occurred by high MW organic matter, and the DOC of organic matter less than 0.5 mg/L was working as the membrane foulant. In the case of sample water composed of low MW organic matter less than 10 kDa, since the low MW organic matter less than 10 kDa has high removal efficiency by $MIEX^{(R)}$, low reduction rate of permeate flux is obtained as compared with coagulation-UF processes. In summary, it is required to conduct the research on physical/chemical characteristic of original water before pretreatment process of membrane process is selected, and a pertinent pre-treatment process should be employed based on the physical/chemical characteristic of original water.

  • This paper suggests the optimal generation dispatch algorithm for ensuring voltage stability margin considering high wind energy injection. Generally, with wind generation being installed into the power system, we would have to consider several factors such as the voltage stability margin because wind turbine generators are mostly induction machines. If the proportion of wind generation increases in the power system increases this would affect the overall stability of the system including the voltage stability. This paper considers a specific system that is composed of two areas: area 1 and area 2. It is assumed that generation cost in area 1 is relatively higher than that in area 2. From an economic point of view generation in area 1 should be decreased, however, in the stability point of view the generation in area 2 should be decreased. Since the power system is a nonlinear system, it is very difficult to find the optimal solution and the genetic algorithm is adopted to solve the objective function that is composed of a cost function and a function concerned with voltage stability constraints. For the simulations, the New England system was selected. The algorithm is implemented and Python 2.5.

  • This study focused on development of 60 m span PSC girder considering not only structural performance, but also economical efficiency and constructability including from the improvement of cross-section to the tendon profiles in sequence. Bulb-T type cross section was derived from optimization and actual possibilities to design a bridge were assessed through cross section evaluation. Tendons were also arranged efficiently so that the girder could resist the service load effectively. After developed girder was applied to a sample bridge, result of finite element analysis proved all load steps were satisfied with the allowable stress. Furthermore, it seemed that sufficient redundancy will be available to design a bridge safely. Based on these, a full-scale 60 m span girder was fabricated and 4 point bending test was performed. An initial crack occurred over twice of the service load in this experiment, which establishes adequate structural performance. 60 m span Half-Decked PSC girder developed in this study has a lower height for the given span which resulted from cross section improvement and efficient tendon layout. This girder also has not only the structural advantage, but also advantages in economical efficiency and constructability.

  • Recently, considerable number of bridges crossing over navigable waterways are under construction for the connection of coastal islands with mainland and the optimization of logistic system However, the most planned bridges have been initiated without paying much attention to ships safety aspects but with great emphasis on the economic factors, it has often been confronted with difficult social issues arising from opposing views and conflicts between building bodies and affected port users. The main reason for the conflicts is the lack of standards or specifications on the bridge design The proper location and scale of sea bridges are suggested in this paper considering fairway design criteria of both domestic and foreign countries, status analysis on the designs of existing and planned bridges, investigation findings of bridge-related marine accidents, the views of pilots and navigators collected through questionnaire. Since there is no general domestic or international design rules on bridge's scale, the design standards proposed in this paper may be useful at initial design stage of bridge.

  • This paper proposes a method to accelerate the evolution speed of individuals through hybrid reproduction of monogenesis and gamogenesis. Monogenesis as a reproduction method that bacteria or monad without sexual distinction divide into two individuals has an advantage for local search and gamogenesis as a reproduction method that individuals with sexual distinction mate and breed the offsprings has an advantages for keeping the diversity of individuals. These properties can be properly used for improvement of evolution speed of individuals in genetic algorithms. In this paper, we made relatively good individuals among selected parents to do monogenesis for local search and forced relatively bad individuals among selected parents to do gamogenesis for global search by increasing the diversity of chromosomes. The mutation probability for monogenesis was set to a lower value than that of original genetic algorithm for local search and the mutation probability for gamogenesis was set to a higher value than that of original genetic algorithm for global search. Experimental results with four function optimization problems showed that the performances of three functions were very good, but the performances of fourth function with distributed global optima were not good. This was because distributed global optima prevented individuals from steady evolution.

  • Corn stover is known as a good candidate for a functional food ingredient when the main lignocellulosic material, lignin, is used as bioactive materials as form of polyphenolic compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the microwave extraction conditions under which total phenolic compounds (TPC) and flavonoid contents of corn stover were maximized. Microwave-assisted extracts using sulfuric acid ranging from 0 to 1.0 mol with extraction time between 40 and 240 sec were conducted by using response surface methodology (RSM). Microwave power showed significant effects (p<0.05) and the concentrations of TPC and flavonoids increased with increased level of microwave power and extraction time. The optimum conditions for corn stover extraction were determined as 698.6 W, 240 sec, and 0 mol sulfuric acid, and the predicted value of TPC and flavonoid is 82.4 mg GAE/g DM and 18.1 mg/g DM, respectively. Microwave extraction was evaluated as an economic process with low energy consumption, short extraction and high extraction yield of bioactive including TPC and flavonoids compared to conventional extractions.

  • Pulse wave is the physiological responses through the autonomic nervous system such as ECG. It is relatively convenient because it can measure the signal just by applying a sensor on a finger. So, it can be usefully employed in the field of U-Healthcare. The objects of this study are acquiring the PPG (Photoplethysmography) one of the way of measuring the pulse waves in non-invasive way using the CMOS image sensor on a smartphone camera, developing the portable system judging stressful or not, and confirming the applicability in the field of u-Healthcare. PPG was acquired by using image data from smartphone camera without separate sensors and analyzed. Also, with that image signal data, HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and stress index were offered users by just using smartphone without separate host equipment. In addition, the reliability and accuracy of acquired data were improved by developing additional hardware device. From these experiments, we can confirm that measuring heart rate through the PPG, and the stress index for analysis the stress degree using the image of a smartphone camera are possible. In this study, we used a smartphone camera, not commercialized product or standardized sensor, so it has low resolution than those of using commercialized external sensor. However, despite this disadvantage, it can be usefully employed as the u-Healthcare device because it can obtain the promising data by developing additional external device for improvement reliability of result and optimization algorithm.
