현재 사용되고 있는 플로팅 게이트를 이용한 플래시 메모리 소자는 비례축소에 의해 발생하는 단 채널 효과, 펀치스루 효과 및 소자간 커플링 현상과 같은 문제로 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 silicon nitride와 같은 절연체를 전자의 트랩층으로 사용하는 charge trap flash (CTF) 메모리 소자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. CTF 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행 되었지만, 수치 해석 모델을 사용하여 메모리 소자의 전하수송 메커니즘을 분석한 연구는 매우 적다. 본 연구에서는 수치 해석 모델을 적용하여 개발한 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 시 전하수송 메커니즘에 대한 연구를 하였다. 시뮬레이터에 사용된 모델은 연속방정식, 포아송 방정식과 Shockley-Read-Hall 재결합 모델을 수치해석적 방법으로 계산하였다. 또한 CTF 소자 프로그램 동작 시 트랩 층으로 주입되는 전자의 양은 Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin 근사 법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 트랩 층에 트랩 되었던 전자의 방출 모델은 이온화 과정을 사용하였다. 게이트와 트랩 층 사이의 터널링은 Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling 모델, Direct tunneling 모델, Modified FN tunneling 모델을 적용하였다. FN tunneling 만을 적용했을때 보다 세가지 모델을 적용했을 때가 더 실험치와의 오차가 적었다. 그 이유는 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 인가된 전계에 의해 Bottom Oxide 층의 에너지 밴드 구조가 변화하여 세가지 tunneling 모델의 구역이 발생하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 계산된 결과의 전류-전압 곡선을 통해 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성을 관찰하였다. 트랩 층의 전도대역과 트랩 층 내부에 분포하는 전자의 양을 시간에 따라 계산하여 트랩 밀도가 시간이 지남에 따라 일정 값에 수렴하고 많은 전하가 트랩 될 수록 전하 주입이 줄어듬을 관찰 하였다. 이와 같은 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 CTF 메모리의 트랩층에서 전하의 이동에 대해 더 많이 이해하여 CTF 소자가 가진 문제점 해결에 도움을 줄 것이다.

To reduce the computational cost required for assembling vessel fragments using surface geometry, this paper proposes a fast axis estimation method. Using circular constraint of pottery and local planar patch assumption, it finds the axis of the symmetry. First, the circular constraint on each cylinder is used. A circular symmetric pot can be thought of unions of many cylinders with different radii. It selects one arbitrary point on the pot fragment surface and searches a path where a circumference exists on that point. The variance of curvature will be calculated along the path and the path with the minimum variance will be selected. The symmetric axis will pass through the center of that circle. Second, the planar patch assumption and profile curve is used. The surface of fragment is divided into small patches and each patch is assumed as plane. The surface normal of each patch will intersects the axis in 3D space since each planar patch faces the center of the pot. A histogram method and minimization of the profile curve error are utilized to find the probability distribution of the axis location. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement in speed and robustness of the algorithms.

Image compression schemes, such as JPEG and JPEG2000, degrade the Quality of a reconstructed image due to their lossy characteristics. Accordingly, this paper investigates the relationship between the compression ratio and the gamut variation for a reconstructed image using JPEG and JPEG2000. To analyze the relationship between compression ratio and gamut variation, i.e. the hue and chroma shift in the uniform color space, eighteen color samples from the Macbeth ColorChecker are initially used. Based on the color shift phenomenon for the color samples, twelve natural color images, classified into two groups depending on four color attributes, are also used to investigate the relationship between the level of compression and the variation in the gamut area. As a results, through the experiments, least square method is applied to obtain the fitting curves as an equation minimizing the error between the real data and its corresponding approximated values.

The membrane structure maintains stable form by giving initial tension to ductile membrane and increasing the stiffness of exterior that is much adopted in the large span spatial structure by making its thickness thin. This kind of membrane structure has characteristic that can express free-form curve, so the selection of structural form is very important. So, this paper proposes the expression of free-form surface based on NURBS basis function and the finite element method considering geometrical nonlinearity for the deduction of large deformation result. Also, for minimizing the approximation of the surface that is derived from the form-finding result, the interface method that change finite element mesh to NURBS is proposed. So, the optimum surface of free-form membrane is derived.

Both the chemical components and the physical and mechanical properties of the compacted and undisturbed weathered granite soils were estimated to investigate the influences of the degree of weathering and saturation on the shear strength. The weathered granite soils used in this study were taken from six different sites in Korea. The results showed that the shear strength of weathered granite soil decreased with increasing the degree of weathering and saturation. Under the normal stresses less that 40kPa, the shape of Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope followed curved or hyperbolic relationship and a half of cohesion value obtained by the common shear test was observed. Using the Sueoka's method, the values of CWI were ranged from 21.5 to 31.26 which can be characterized as a completely weathered granite soil. Large decrease in shear strength and remarkable variation in dilatancy were observed in saturated granite soil compared to unsaturated soil. It was also found that the shear strength of undisturbed weathered granite soil of Pungam site can be expressed approximately by the equation of ${(\tau)_{sat}= 1.0(\tau)_{unsat}-12.48}$ and this equation can be extended to the other sites considered in this study.

In this study, it was investigated for dynamic nonlinear characteristics using dynamic data obtained by shaking table test. The design of Tuned Liquid Damper(TLD) has limitation to plan based on Tuned Mass Damper(TMD) analogy and linear wave theory. Also, while there are many studies regarding properties of TLD under harmonic load, there are not estimated for dynamic non-linear characteristics of TLD under the load that is not governed by particular frequency like a white noise. This paper investigated dynamic non-linear characteristics of TLD varied with load amplitude using a white noise and suggested equations that can estimate damping ratio, natural frequency ratio and effective mass ratio of TLD.

A study on the optimization problems to find forebode shapes with minimum wavemaking and frictional resistance was performed. The afterbody was fixed as a given hull and only forebode offsets were treated as design variables. Design variables were divided into the offsets of given hull and small variation from them. For the wavemaking resistance calculation, Neumann-Kelvin theory was applied to the given hull and thin ship theory was applied to the small variation. ITTC 1957 model-ship correlation line was used for the calculation of frictional resistance. Hull surface was represented mathmatically using shape function. As object function, such as wavemaking and frictional rersistance, was quadratic form of offsets and constraints linear, quadratic programing problem could be constructed. The complementary pivot method was used to find the soulution of the quadratic programing problem. Calculations were perfomed for the Series 60 $C_{B}$=0.6. at Fn=0.289. A realistic hull form could be obtained by using proper constraints. From the results of calculation for the Series 60 $C_{B}$=0.6, it was concluded that present method gave optimal shape of bulbous bow showing a slight improvement in the wave resistance performance at design speed Fn=0.289 compared with the results from the ship theory only.

For an accurate rainfall-runoff simulation in the river basin, not evaluation of runoff model but accurate runoff data are very important. In this study, SSARR model was applied to the Geum River basin and these results are compared with runoff data observed at the Gongju gauging station. The model results didn't good fit the discharge data determined from the rating curve at Gongju gauging station during normal and dry season, especially. For the reliability analysis for the existing rating curve, we observed new stream discharge set from 2003 to 2005. We also estimated long term runoff data from the base flow separation method and defined the hydraulic characteristics. The results show that the new observed stream discharge is similar to the rainfall-runoff model results but existing rating curve seems to be overestimated about 10-20% during normal and dry season. We found that the continuous monitoring and update for the existing rating curve at the gaging station are needed for accurate estimation of runoff data.

It is very important to analyze the correlation between discharge and water quality. The observation of discharge and water quality are effective at same point as well as same time for real time management. But no less significant is the fact that there are some of real time water quality monitoring stations far from the T/M water stage. Pyeongchanggang station is one of them. In this case, it need to observe accurate discharge data, and to develop forecasting program or system using real time data. In this paper, discharge on Pyeongchanggang station was calculated by developed runoff neural network model, and compared with discharge using WMS(Watershed Modeling System) model. WMS shows better results when peak discharge is small and hydrograph is smooth. Forecasted discharge of neural network model have achieved the highest overall accuracy of specific discharge and WMS. Neural network model forecast change of discharge well on unrecored station.

Most real world systems contain a series of dynamic and complex phenomena. One of common methods to understand these systems is to build a model and analyze the behavior of them. A two-step methodology comprised of clustering and then model creation is proposed for the analysis on time series data. An interface is designed for CRM(Customer Relationship Management) that provides user with 1:1 customized information using system modeling. It was confirmed from experiments that better clustering would be derived from model based approach than similarity based one. Clustering is followed by model creation over the clustered groups, by which future direction of time series data movement could be predicted. The effectiveness of the method was validated by checking how similarly predicted values from the models move together with real data such as stock prices.
