Alkylation, carbonylation and cyclization reaction using transition metal(or inner-) complexes as reducing agents or catalysts were investigated.

A series of non-free hydride reducing systems containing boron or aluminum atom, which possess no metal-hydride bond but an available hydrogen at a branched ${\beta}$-position, has been applied to the selective reduction (chemo--, regio-, and stereoselective reduction) of organic compounds. The systems, comprised of diisopinocampheylborane and diisobutylalane derivatives, exhibited almost perfect selectivities in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones. The characteristics features of this systems leading to a perfect transformation have been depicted in this report, especially in the 1) Reduction of ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds to Allylic Alcohols via 1,2-Reduction, 2) Chemoselective Reduction between Structurally Different Carbonyl Compounds, and 3) Stereoselective Reduction of Cyclic Ketones.

Some Korean terminologies on reproductive structures of seed plants in plant morphology, written incorrectly in many books, were analysed to propose accurately expressed terminologies. 31 books in areas such as general biology, plant biology, plant morphology, and biological dictionaries and glossaries were selected to analyse the accuracy of the terminologies for reproductive structures in gymnosperms, e.g., cone or strobilus, seed (or ovulate) cone and pollen cone, and conifer(s) or coniferous plants, and for flower structures in angiosperms, e.g., corolla, anther, filament, pistillate (or female) flower and staminate (or male) flower, apocarpous, and syncarpous. The definition and etymology of the terminologies were traced in 4 textbooks of plant anatomy and 2 dictionaries of biology and botany written in English. On the basis of the definition, etymology, and principles for terminology formation according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 704:2000), reasonably expressed Korean terminologies were proposed. All of the 8 terminologies examined in this study were included in the glossary of biological terminologies, published by the Korean Association of Biological Sciences in 2005, and designated as an editorial source for science and biology textbooks for middle and high schools by Ministry of Education in 2007. However, the only 1 of the 8 terminologies described in the glossary were consistent with the proposed expression in the present study. These inconsistencies indicated the need for a reassessment of this glossary of biological terminologies. The newly proposed terminologies would facilitate mutual understanding between teachers and students of plant biology.

Ad hoc network는 무선 노드들의 집합으로서 어떤 인프라스트럭처 도움 없이 그들 서로가 multi-hop 경로를 통해 통신한다. 본 논문에서는 ad hoc network에서 사용되는 proactive 라우팅 프로토콜과 on-demand 라우팅 프로토콜의 혼합인 hybrid 라우팅 프로토콜에 대해 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 hybrid 라우팅 프로토콜인 ZRP와는 달리 Ad hoc network를 구성하는 노드들 중에 네트워크 서비스를 제공해주는 특별한 노드를 설정하여 라우팅 하는 방법을 제안한다. 이러한 역할을 해주는 특별한 노드를 본 논문에서는 C-Node라 부른다. C-Node를 이용한 라우팅으로 기존의 라우팅 프로토콜보다 경로 설정 시간과 flooding 시간을 줄이므로서 효율적인 라우팅을 수행할 수 있게된다.

In general the Banach space $L^1(T^1)$ doesn't admit convergence in norm. Thus the convergence in norm of the partial sums can not be characterized in terms of Fourier coefficients without additional assumptions about the sequence$\{^{\^}f(\xi)\}$. The problem of $L^1(T^1)$-convergence consists of finding the properties of Fourier coefficients such that the necessary and sufficient condition for (1.2) and (1.3). This paper showed that let $\{{\alpha}_{\kappa}\}{\in}BV$ and ${\xi}{\Delta}a_{\xi}=o(1),\;{\xi}{\rightarrow}{\infty}$. Then (1.1) is a Fourier series if and only if $\{{\alpha}_{\kappa}\}{\in}{\Gamma}$.

본 논문에서는 기존의 개인 식별 방법의 한계를 해결하는 대안으로 떠오르고 있는 생체인식 기술 중 인식률이 뛰어나고 신뢰성 있는 홍채인식 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 구현을 위하여 신호처리 분야에서 주로 사용되는 wavelet변환으로 계수 특징 값 추출을 하였으며, 인식률을 알아보기 위하여 신경망 기법을 이용하고자 한다. 그러나 신경망 기법에서 주로 사용되는 비선형 최적화기법인 Scale Conjugate Gradient는 최적화 문제점을 해결하기에는 수렴속도가 느리기 때문에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 Scale Conjugate Gradient를 보완한 Levenberg-Marquardt Back-Propagation을 홍채인식에 적용하여 구현함으로써 인식율을 높이고자 한다. 적용한 알고리즘 구현으로 해의 수렴정도, 변수 벡터의 변화정도에 따라 크기를 적절히 변화시킴으로써 수렴속도를 개선하고, 효율성과 안정성을 동시에 얻을 수 있었다.

A simple and rapid method is described for extending the 5'- or 3'-end genomic sequence of a known partial sequence by only a single round of PCR. This method involves digesting and ligating genomic and plasmid DNAs, and amplifying the 5'-upstream or 3'-end downstream sequence of the known DNA sequence, using two primers, one gene specific and the other plasmid specific. A single round of PCR amplification is sufficient to produce gene-specific bands detectable in gels. By using this approach, 5'-end genomic sequence of the D-amoeba sams gene was extended.

Korean terminologies on stem structures in plant morphology, written incorrectly in many books, were analysed to propose accurately expressed terminologies. 35 books in areas such as general biology, plant biology, plant morphology, and biological dictionaries and glossaries were selected to analyse the accuracy of the terminologies for seed structures, e.g., shoot and shoot system, rhizome, apical dominance, anticlinal and periclinal divisions, and intercalary and lateral meristems. The definition and etymology of the terminologies were traced in 4 textbooks of plant anatomy and 2 dictionaries of biology and botany written in English. On the basis of the definition, etymology, and principles for terminology formation according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 704:2000), reasonably expressed Korean terminologies were proposed. All of the 8 terminologies examined in this study were included in the glossary of biological terminologies, published by the Korean Association of Biological Sciences in 2005, and designated as an editorial source for science and biology textbooks for middle and high schools by Ministry of Education in 2007. However, the only 1 of the 8 terminologies described in the glossary were consistent with the proposed expression in the present study. These inconsistencies indicated the need for a reassessment of this glossary of biological terminologies. The validity of the proposed Korean terminologies was tested in a questionnaire sent to 17 professors teaching plant morphology or/and taxonomy at universities. A mean of 91.9% of the total respondents agreed with the Korean expressions proposed in this study. The new, proposed terminologies would facilitate mutual understanding between teachers and students of plant biology.

자성 결정체인 $Fe_3O_4$ 나노 입자를 합성하기위하여 강한 극성 용매인 2-pyrrolidone을 연전도 반응매개체로 하여 용액 내에 $FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$을 용해시켜 2-pyrrolidone의 비등점까지 나노 결정체 고온 열분해 방법을 이용하여 제조되었다. 고온 열분해 후, $Fe_3O_4$ 나노 입자는 methanol/diethyl ether (1:3)에 의해서 침전되어졌다. 합성된 $Fe_3O_4$ 나노 입자는 고결정도, 고자기성을 가지고 있으며, 수용성의 자성 나노 결정체이다. 합성된 $Fe_3O_4$ 나노 입자의 크기와 결정도는 transmission electron microscope (TEM, Tecnai F20)를 이용하여 특성 분석하였으며, area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern과 HRTEM을 이용하여 나노입자의 격자 패턴 (lattice fringes)을 확인하였다.

New issues arise as to surface characterization, quantification and interface formation. Surface and interface control of CdSe nanocrystal systems, one of the most studied and useful nanostructures. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been the subject of much interest for both fundamental reseach and technical applications in recent years, due mainly to their strong size dependent properties and excellent chemical processibility. In this dissertation, the synthesis of CdSe quantum dots were synthesized by pyrolysis of high-temperature organometallic reagents. In order to modify the size and quality of quantum dots, we controlled the growth temperature and the relative amount of precursors to be injected into the coordinating solvent. Moreover, an effective surface passivation of monodisperse nanocrystals was achieved by overcoating them with a higher-band-gap material. Synthesized CdSe quantum dots were studied to evaluate the optical, electronic and structural properties using UV-absorption, and photoluminescence measurement.
