The SAR patterns of biological objects contacted with coaxial waveguide antennal has been investigated, in which the biological object was modeled by a homogeneous and four-layered lossy human body. We derived the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) algorithm and equation of MUR and generalized perfectly matched layer(GPML) ABCs in cylindrical coordination. The coupling between coaxial waveguide antenna and a biological object was analyzed by use of MUR and GPML ABCs in the FDTD method to obtain the absorbed power patterns in the media. The specific absorption rates (SAR) distribution which was corresponding to the temperature distribution was calculated in each region by use of the steady-state response in the FDTD method. The SAR patterns of the FDTD method using MUR absorbing boundary conditions(ABCs) was compared with those of the FDTD method using GPML ABCs. The comparison exhibits that the penetration depth of the SAR patterns using MUR ABCs is deeper than that of the SAR patterns using GPML ABCs because of loss in free space. However, the spread in the lateral directions of the SAR patterns using GPML ABCs is smaller than of the SAR patterns using MUR ABCs.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of $Fe_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ have been studied by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy measurement. The crystal structure was determined by the normal cubic spinel of space group Fd3m and the lattice constant was $a_0=9.9967\;{\AA}$. The specific phenomenon which looks like cusp pattern at 77 K was observed in magnetization corves(ZFC : Zero Field Cooling) under 100 Oe applied field. $N\acute{e}el$ temperature($T_N$) was determined to be 153 K by VSM and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra. The asymmetric 8-line profile has been observed at 4.2 K, which was attributed by the colossal electric quadupole interaction(${\Delta}E_Q$), ${\Delta}E_Q$ has 2.22 mm/s at 4.2 K. The ${\Delta}E_Q$ abruptly decreases around 77 K and then it disappears above 77 K with diminishing of 8-line pattern. The isomer shift $\delta$ at room temperature is 0.48 mm/s relative to Fe metal, which means that the charge state of Fe ions is ferrous in character.

In the present study the cure behavior of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A(DGEBA) using an anhydride-based hardener in the presence of N,N-dimethyl benzyl amine (BDMA) or 1-cyanoethyl-2-ethyl-4-methyl imidazole (2E4MZ-CN) as an accelerator has been monitored and interpreted from the viewpoint of photophysical properties by means of fluorescence spectroscopy. To do this, 1,3-bis-(1-pyrene)propane (BPP) was well incorporated in the epoxy resin system by mechanical blending. The BPP probe, which is very sensitive to conformational change of the molecule influenced by the surrounding medium, successfully formed intramolecular excimer fluorescence. It is susceptible to the micro-viscosity or local viscosity and molecular mobility according to the epoxy cure. The cure behavior was explained with monomer fluorescence intensity ($I_{M}$ ), excimer fluorescence intensity ($I_{E}$ ) and $I_{M}$ /$I_{E}$ ratio as a function of cure time, cure temperature and accelerator. The present work agreed with the previous report on the cure behavior of an epoxy-anhydride system studied using DSC or torsion pendulum method. This study also suggests that the use of fluorescence technique may provide information on cure behavior of a thermosetting resin in a low temperature region, which has not been well interpreted by other analytical methods.

Most optical security systems use a 4-f correlator, Mach-Zehnder interferometer, or a joint transform correlator(JTC). Of them, the JTC does not require an accurate optical alignment and has a good potential for real-time processing. In this paper, we propose an image encryption system using a position shift property of the JTC in the Fourier domain and a random phase image. Our encryption system uses two keys: one key is a random phase mask and the other key is a position shift factor. By using two keys, the proposed method can increase the security level of the encryption system. An encrypted image is produced by the Fourier transform for the multiplication image, which resulted from adding position shift functions to an original image, with a random phase mask. The random phase mask and position shift value are used as keys in decryption, simultaneously. For the decryption, both the encrypted image and the key image should be correctly located on the JTC. If the incorrect position shift value or the incorrect key image is used in decryption, the original information can not be obtained. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed system, computer simulation is performed. By analyzing the simulation results in the case of blocking of the encrypted image and affecting of the phase noise, we confirmed that the proposed method has a good tolerance to data loss. These results show that our system is very useful for the optical certification system.

Single phase $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, ceramics were successfully synthesized from the powders prepared by solid state reaction (sintering temperature: $1100^{\circ}C$, density: $9.3g/cm^3$, average grain size: $5.1{\pm}1.2mm$, space group: Pm3m). Their dielectric properties measured at $-150{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ showed the maximum relative dielectric constant of 31000 at $-41^{\circ}C$. 1 kHz, and typical relaxor ferroelectrics characteristics such as diffuse phase transition and dielectric relaxation phenomena. However, the diffuseness of phase transition decreased and the dielectric properties became more normal ferroelectrics as the time of annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$ increased. By using Raman spectroscopy, it was revealed that the $Fe^{3+}$ and $Ta^{5+}$ ions in the as-sintered $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, are stoichiometrically 1 : 1 ordered within the short-range that can not be probed even by transmission electron microscopy, and this stoichiometric 1 : 1 ordering is enhanced by the annealing. The relaxor ferroelectric characteristics in the as-sintered $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, could be correlated with the stoichiometric 1 : 1 short-range ordering of B-site cations, and the decrease of relaxor ferroelectric characteristics in the annealed $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$ could be correlated with the enhanced stoichiometric 1 : 1 short-range ordering of B-site cations.

Purpose : To obtain the actual dose distribution from measured data by doconvolution method using the measured ion chamber response function. Materials and Methods : The chamber response functions for 2 ionization chambers (diameter 5mm, 6.4mm) were measured. and dose Profiles were measured for $10{\times}20cm^2$ field size using two different detectors. The deconvolution of chamber response function from the measured data were performed for these Profiles. The same procedures were repeated for 4MV, 6MV and 1 SMV photon energies. Results : Different dose Profiles were obtained for the same field with the chambers which have the different response functions. Nearly the same results could be obtained with deconvolution for the profiles from various detectors. Conclusion : The effect of the chamber response function can be extracted by deconvolution method. Deconvolved dose profile using various ionization chambers gave better dose distributions. Technical improvements are needed for practical application.

그래핀은 뛰어난 기계적, 화학적, 광학적, 전기적 특성을 가지고 있는 2차원 물질로, 대면적 합성법과 전사 공정을 통해 다양한 기판에서의 사용이 가능해지면서 차세대 전자 소자로 활용하기위한 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 디스플레이, 태양전지의 전극과 전계 효과 트랜지스터의 채널로 적용한 연구에서 우수한 결과들을 보이고 있다. 특히, 금속/금속 산화물 전극은 염료 감응형 태양전지와 유기 발광 다이오드 구조에서 화학적으로 불안정할 뿐 아니라 일함수가 고정되어 쇼트키 접촉이 형성되면 저항을 낮추기 어렵지만, 그래핀은 금속/금속 산화물 전극보다 화학적으로 안정하고 일함수의 조절이 가능해 옴 접촉 형성에 용이하다. 그래핀의 일함수를 조절하는 연구는 크게 공유결합과 비공유 결합을 이용한 방법이 시도된다. 공유 결합을 이용한 방법은 합성과정에서 그래핀의 구조에 내재된 결함 혹은 새로운 결함을 형성하여 다른 원소를 첨가하는 방법이다. 이러한 방법은 그래핀의 결함 영역에서 작용하기 때문에 그래핀 전자 구조의 높은 수준 조절을 위해선 그래핀 구조의 파괴가 동반된다. 반면, 비공유 결합을 이용한 방법은 전하 이동 도핑 효과를 이용해 그래핀의 전자 구조를 제어하는 방법으로, 금속/금속산화물/기능기와 그래핀의 적층으로 복합 구조를 형성하는 방법이다. 금속/금속 산화물과의 복합구조는 안정적인 p-형 도핑이 보고되었지만, n-형 도핑은 대기중의 수분, 산소 그리고 기판과의 상호작용에 의해 대기중에서 불안정해 추가적인 피막공정이 요구된다. 기능기를 이용한 적층 구조는 그래핀과 기판사이의 상호작용 혹은 그래핀 전자 구조를 다양한 기능기를 이용해 제어하는 것으로, 이극성을 가진 자기정렬 단일층(self-assembled monolayers)이 대표적인 방법이다. 공간기(spacer)의 길이나 말단기(end group)의 종류로 p-형과 n-형의 도핑 수준을 제어할 수 있지만, 흡착기(chemisorbing groups)의 반응성이 기판의 화학적, 물리적 표면상태에 의존하기때문에 기판 선택이 제약되며 전처리 공정이 요구될 수 있는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 기판에 적용가능한 용액 공정을 이용해 그래핀과 고분자를 적층하였고, 안정적이고 효과적으로 일함수를 낮추는 구조를 확인하였다.

The object of this study was to develop an index of service quality of waterparks and verify the validity and reliability of the index. This study represents the waterparks user population in 2009, and 250 people were extracted by using the purposive sampling method. In other words, five locations have major waterparks were chosen and 50 people per each location were collected. Conference, panel survey, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to verify the validity of the questionnaire while item analysis, interrater reliability and internal consistency reliability were conducted to probate the reliability. Through these methods and procedures, the results of this study like these; (i) Validity of this index was significantly high and the index include amenity/cleanness, safety, price, programs, facilities, accessibility and promotion. Among them, amenity/cleanness was the major factor for the validity value; (ii) Reliability of this index was also high. There are high correlations between questions and fields and questions and total score. And the Cronbach's $\alpha$ values of the internal consistency reliability was over 0.603 except in the case of promotion which was below 0.6. After all the analysis, the index of service quality proved to be very proper and reliable index. Therefore, the major factors of service quality have to be figured out and reflected to the management innovation to improve service quality of waterparks.

The ecosystem is the complex system consisting of various biotic and abiotic factors and the factors interact with each other in the hierarchical predator-prey relationship. Since the competitive relation spatiotemporally occurs, the initial state of population density and species distribution are likely to play an important role in the stability of the ecosystem. In the present study, we constructed a lattice model to simulate the three-trophic ecosystem (predatorprey- plant) and using the model, explored how the ecosystem stability is affected by the initial density. The size of lattice space was $L{\times}L$, (L=100) with periodic boundary condition. The initial density of the plant was arbitrarily set as the value of 0.2. The simulation result showed that predator and prey coexist when the density of predator is less than or equal to 0.4 and the density of prey is less than or equal to 0.5. On the other hand, when the predator density is more than or equal to 0.5 and the density of prey is more than or equal to 0.6, both of predator and prey were extinct. In addition, we found that the strong nonlinearity in the interaction between species was observed in the border area between the coexistence and extinction in the species density space.

As the necessity of forest conservation and management has been increased, various forest studies using LIDAR data have been actively performed. These studies often utilize the tree height as an important parameter to measure the forest quantitatively. This study thus attempt to apply two representative methods to estimate tree height from airborne LIDAR data and compare the results. The first method based on the detection of the individual trees using a local maximum filter estimates the number of trees, the position and heights of the individual trees, and the mean tree height. The other method estimates the maximum and mean tree height, and the crown mean height for each grid cell or the entire area from the canopy height model (CHM) and height histogram. In comparison with the field measurements, 76.6% of the individual trees are detected correctly; and the estimated heights of all trees and only conifer trees show the RMSE of 1.91m and 0.75m, respectively. The tree mean heights estimated from CHM retain about 1~2m RMSE, and the histogram method underestimates the tree mean height with about 0.6m. For more accurate derivation of diverse forest information, we should select and integrate the complimentary methods appropriate to the tree types and estimation parameters.
