This study evaluates the analytical performance of a newly developed miniaturized disposable U-tube for an automated blood viscometer and compares it to conventional viscometers. Whole blood viscosity (WBV), essential for circulatory function, exhibits non-Newtonian behavior, posing challenges for measurement at low shear rates. The blood viscometer, based on a scanning capillary tube method, used disposable U-tubes to measure viscosities across a shear rate range of 1s⁻¹ to 1,000s⁻¹. Precision evaluation showed stable coefficients of variation (CV) across different viscosity levels. Repeatability assessment indicated consistent CV values, demonstrating the reliability of the device. The agreement with the LV-III Brookfield viscometer and MCR 92 Rheometer was analyzed using Bland-Altman plots, which revealed minor systematic biases and consistent differences across the measurement range. Correlation analysis using Passing-Bablok regression showed high correlation coefficients (R > 0.96) with regression slopes close to 1. The newly developed miniaturized disposable U-tube exhibits excellent precision, reliable repeatability, and high correlation with established methods, enhancing laboratory productivity and offering potential for clinical applications. Further studies with human blood samples are recommended to confirm its clinical applicability.

In order to evaluate structural and non-structural seismic performances of the system. Shaking table test was carried out with full-scale modular units, and a nonlinear pushover analysis was performed to obtain suitable seismic responses for story drifts, displacements, force resistances and dynamic properties of the system. Through 3D analysis and shaking table test, the current method of lightweight modular metal unit assembly and systems with seismic performance of a 4-clip fastening type modular house were demonstrated safe and effective to seismic design.

For this study, we established a system for the CPU cooling performance evaluation and conducted performance tests on air-cooling and water-cooling to understand the effect of the CPU cooling method on performance. For the performance evaluation, the test chamber and water-cooling system were set up, the workload S/W was selected, and a case file was created. In the case of the air-cooling, the CPU temperature is sensitively affected by the outside air temperature, the direction of the board installation, and the influence of the airflow formed around it, and may cause a lot of fluctuations in the CPU temperature. When the water-cooling system was applied, the CPU temperature decreased from 75℃℃ to 37℃ compared to the air-cooled type under the test conditions of 28.5℃ and 3LPM cooling water supply temperature and flow rate. As the CPU clock speed increased due to the decrease in temperature, it was found that the job execution time was reduced by 15~23%. In the future, it is expected that using this performance evaluation environment established through this study will enable us to easily conduct test evaluations for various processors, cooling methods, and changes in operating conditions.

본 연구는 1M Li2SO4 및 1M Na2SO4 수용액에서 CoSe 나노 입자의 전기 화학적 성능을 조사 하였다. CoSe 나노 입자의 전기 화학적 효율은 1M Na2SO4 전해질에서 더 높은 비정전 용량을 보여주는 결 과를 얻었고 이것은 주로 1M Na2SO4 용액의 벌크 전해질에서 수화 된 이온의 빠른 이동과 활물질에 의해 제공되는 낮은 전기 화학적 임피던스가 원인이라 사료된다. 또한, 순환 전압 전류법 안정성 실험에서 25 mV s-1의 스캔 속도로 1000 회 연속 순환 전압 전류 측정주기 후에도 각각 1M Na2SO4 및 1M Li2SO4에서 약 92 % 및 89 %의 특정 정전 용량의 유지를 보여주었다. 이 연구는 새로운 하이브리드 슈퍼 커패시터를 개발하기 위한 기초 데이터를 제공하며 비대칭 슈퍼 커패시터의 양극으로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

In this study, we conducted a shake table test to verify the seismic performance of the paneling system with steel truss composed of bolt connections. The control group was set to the traditional paneling system with steel truss connected by spot welding method. Test results showed that the bolted connection type paneling system has excellent deformation capacity without cracking or brittle fracture of the steel truss connection parts compared to the welding type paneling system. Furthermore, in the bolted connection type, slight damage occurred at the time of occurrence of the same story drift angle as compared with the existing method, it is considered that it has excellent seismic performance. In compliance with the performance-based design recommended for the current code (ASCE 41-13) on non-structural components, it is judged that in the case of the bolted connection type paneling system, it can be applied to all risk category structures without restriction. However, in the case of traditional paneling system with spot welding method, it is considered that it can be applied limitedly.

본 연구에서는 양파정식기의 정식시 개공기와 토양 간 상대속도를 최대한 0으로 근접시키기 위해 4절 링크-캠 기구를 갖는 정식시험장치를 제작하여 정식시험을 실시하고 최적 작업조건 및 형상을 구명하였 다. 시험조건은 모종나이 50일, 주간거리 130, 140, 150mm, 정식속도 45, 50, 55, 60No/min, 토양수 분함유량 10, 20, 30%, 토양 관수 후 경과 일 수 1, 2, 3, 4일로 하였다. 시험결과 정식률은 주간거리 140mm와 정식속도 50∼55No/min에서 100%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 식부자세는 사질양토에서 주간거리 140mm, 정식속도 50No/min일때 평균 11.2±13.9°로 가장 안정적인 자세로 정식하였고 개공폭은 38.2±1.9mm로 가장 작게 나타나 식부개공기 직경 34mm보다 4.2mm밀림이 나타났다. 최대하중평균은 정식속도 60No/min, 주간거리 150mm일때 45.1±5.1N로 나타났고, 최대정식동력은 124.2±11.8W로 나 타났다. 토양수분함유량은 30%일때 가장 낮았고, 관수 후 1일차가 가장 낮았다. 개선된 4절링크-캠 방 식 식부장치는 주간거리 140mm에 맞는 캠 형상을 갖게 함으로서 개공기-토양 상대속도가 0이 될 수 있었다. 따라서 본 양파정식기 식부장치는 필요 주간거리에 맞추어 상대속도 0의 캠 형상을 갖게 함으 로서 식부성능을 최대화할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most common process for seawater desalination. A common problem in both RO and thermal processes is the high energy requirements for seawater desalination. The one energy saving method when utilizing the osmotic power is utilizing pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process. The PRO process can be used to operate hydro turbines for electrical power production or can be used directly to supplement the energy required for RO desalination system. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of both single-stage PRO process and two-stage PRO process using RO concentrate for a draw solution and RO permeate for a feed solution. The major results, were found that increase of the draw and feed solution flowrate lead to increase of the production of power density and water permeate. Also, comparison between CDCF and CDDF configuration showed that the CDDF was better than CDCF for stable operation of PRO process. In addition, power density of two-stage PRO was lower than the one of single-stage. However, net power of two-stage PRO was higher than the one of single-stage PRO.

본 연구는 우리나라 상업용 온실의 보온성능 및 광투과 성능을 개선할 수 있는 피복방식을 결정하는데 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 토마토 재배용 실험온실의 세 가지 피복방식에 대한 보온효과 및 광투과 특성을 평가하였으며 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 공기주입 이중피복온실과 관행 이중피복온실의 관류열손실량이 거의 비슷한 것으로 나타났으나 외부기온이 비슷할 때 피복재와 보온커튼 사이의 온도가 공기주입 이중피복온실이 더 낮게 나타난 것은 공기주입 이중피복온실의 경우 나비식 천창의 틈새로 인한 환기전열손실이 크기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 공기주입 이중피복온실에서 나비식 천창을 사용할 경우 틈새 환기전열손실을 줄일 수 있는 대책이 수립되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 일중피복 온실과 관행이중피복온실의 관류열전달계수에 대한 온실 실험결과와 모형실험결과를 비교한 결과 모두 비슷한 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 측정된 관류열전달계수가 타당성 있는 값임을 보여주는 것이며 향후 온실의 난방 설계시 직접 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 공기주입 이중피복온실이 비록 일중피복온실보다는 광투과율이 낮으나 동일한 이중피복온실인 관행이중피복온실보다 광투과율이 높기 때문에 보온을 위해서 이중피복을 설치할 경우에 광투과율을 확보하기 위해서는 공기주입 이중피복방식을 채택하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 공기주입 이중피복온실에 비해 일중피복온실의 피복재 내부표면에서 발생하는 결로량이 큰 이유는 일중피복온실의 피복재 내부표면온도가 훨씬 낮기 때문에 피복재에서의 포화습도가 작아져 내부공기의 절대습도와의 차이가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

This study was performed to have an effect on control the growth of algae such as "Actinastrum fluviatile" which occurs frequently in the aquaculture tank using by a cold plasma, and it also would be expected to promote the growth of water plants due to active element causing OH radicals in the water. In addition, it was verified on the death rate as 99.9% on the scale protrusion of "Aeromonas hydrophila" as well as E. coli, especially, under extreme conditions more than 100 million pathogenic bacterium in the aqua pet tank, the ornamental fish had to act in a safe and healthy environment at over 98% death rate within 48 hours. It has been proven to give no affect on aerobic bacteria that exist in the filter or soil because there was no residual toxicity in the water tank. As the results, it will help to develop and apply on the sterilization device in other industries as well as aquarium organisms due to adopted energy-saving algorithm and reliability in use.

We propose a new priority discipline called the strict T-preemptive priority discipline, and derive the waiting time distributions of each class in the strict T-preemptive priority M/G/1 queue. Using this queueing analysis, we evaluate the performance of an opportunistic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks, where a communication channel is divided into time slots, a licensed primary user is assigned to one channel, and multiple unlicensed secondary users may opportunistically exploit time slots unused by the primary user. We also present a numerical example of the analysis of the opportunistic spectrum access where the arrival rates and service times distributions of each users are identical.

In this study, the performance of fast gas chromatography system was evaluated using VOC standards prepared in both liquid and gaseous phase. When the liquid‐phase VOC standards were analyzed by both direct injection and HS‐SPME method, all the chromatographic separation was completed within 4 minutes. The calibration experiments were conducted further using gaseous standard of BTX. The calibration results derived by direct injection method generally showed good linearities, regardless of phases, while it was not the case for HS‐SPME method. In case of liquid‐phase standard, MDL values for direct injection and HSSPME method were calculated in the range of 0.07~0.19 to 0.63~3.76 ng, respectively. In contrast, MDL values for gaseous standard were 0.27~0.45 and 1.94~6.90, respectively. The reproducibility of our method, when expressed in terms RSE, showed above 5 %. When the sensitivity of different techniques is compared, the calibration slope values of BTX decreased on the order: direct injection of liquid‐phase standard > HSSPME method of liquid‐phase standard > direct injection of gaseous standard > HS‐SPME method of gaseous standard. Although fast GC is very efficient to reduce the total running time significantly, extended studies are desirable to improve its reproducibility.
