Quarternary $Na_2O-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glasses were fabricated by the function of $R({\equiv}Na_2O\;mole%/B_2O_3\;mole%)$ and $K({\equiv}(Al_2O_3\;mole%+SiO_2\;mole%)/B_2O_3mole%)$. The structures of these glasses were investigated through refractive index and vicker's hardness. The refractive index increased as the increase of the polarizability in the glass network. In the region of low $Na_2O$ content, the refractive index increased due to the increase of the polarizability in the glass network, but in the region of high $Na_2O$ content, the rate of increase of the refractive index decreased due to the increase of the molar volume caused by the formation of $BO_3{^-}$ units with relatively high molar volume. And, the refractive index decreased as the increase of $Al_2O_3+SiO_2$ content with the molar volume in the glass network. The increase and decrease of vicker's hardness values for those glasses depended on the fraction of tetrahedral $BO_4$ units and it of triangle $BO_3{^-}$ units with non-bridging oxygen, respectively.

경로손실 예측 모델은 무선 네트워크 설계를 위한 기본 척도이며, 적용 환경과 적용 시스템에 영향을 받는 특징이 있다. 대부분의 기존 연구는 도심, 교외와 같은 육상 환경을 기반으로 한다. 일반적으로 해수면 경로 손실은 전파의 잦은 굴절로 인해 지표면 보다 크며, 주파수에 비례한 경로손실이 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 해상 환경의 관련 연구는 자유공간에 적용하기 때문에 예측 모델의 정확성을 낮춘다. 본 논문은 해상 무선통신 서비스를 위한 2.4 GHz 대역의 해수면 경로손실 예측 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 육상과 해상에서 각각 수신신호 세기를 측정하고, 다양한 예측 모델과 비교 분석하여 실용성과 정확성을 입증한다.

다이오드 레이저로 펌핑되는 Nd:YAG 매질에 형성된 열 복굴절은 레이저 출력과 빔질의 저하를 초래한다. 선편광된 레이저 출력을 얻기 위해서는 주로 공진기 내에 선형 편광자를 삽입하게 되는데, 레이저 매질에 형성된 열 복굴절에 의한 왜곡 편광된 레이저 빔이 편광자에 의해 반사되어 공진기 손실을 초래한다. 편광 왜곡에 의한 레이저 빔의 손실을 줄이거나 이중 초점을 제거하기 위해 주로 사용되어지는 광 소자는 Faraday 회전자, λ/4 판, 석영 회전자 등이 사용되어진다.$^{(1-5)}$ 90$^{\circ}$ 석영 회전자와 Faraday 회전자는 공진기 내에 두 개의 동일한 구조를 갖는 레이저를 이용할 경우 사용되고 λ/4 판 과 45$^{\circ}$ Faraday 회전자는 주로 단일 레이저 헤드의 복굴절 보상을 위해 사용되어진다. 45$^{\circ}$ Faraday 회전자는 이론적으로 완벽히 열복굴절에 의한 편광 왜곡을 보상한다. 그러나, 열복굴절을 완벽히 보상하기 위해서는 레이저 빔이 항상 레이저 매질의 같은 지점을 통과해야 한다. 실제적으로 레이저 매질에서는 열에 의한 열 렌즈 효과가 있기 때문에 레이저 빔이 항상 같은 지점을 통과하지 않게 된다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 공진기 내에 열 렌즈 효과를 보상하기 위한 렌즈를 삽입하거나 레이저 헤드를 공진기 거울 가까이 설치하여야 한다. Faraday 회전자는 길이가 길기 때문에 레이저 헤드를 공진기 거울 가까이 설치하기는 어렵고 항상 열 렌즈 효과를 보상해주는 광학 소자가 있어야 하는 단점이 있다. 반면 λ/4 판은 완벽한 편광 왜곡을 보상해주지 않아 레이저 손실을 초래하지만 두께가 얇아 레이저 헤드와 공진기 거울을 근접해서 설치할 수 있어서 몇몇 연구자에 의해 연구되어 졌다.$^{(3)}$ 본 연구에서는 λ/4 판을 이용하고 편광기에서 반사된 빔을 공진기에 되반사 시키는 구조를 사용하여 선 편광된 레이저의 출력과 빔의 질을 개선 시켰다.

Purpose: This study is aimed at finding the conditions of ametropia of adults in the Philippines and the South Korean. Methods: The study objects were 7,695(15,390 eyes) Koreans and 2,256(4,512 eyes) Philippines who visited optic clinics and took refraction test. The distributions of their hypermetropias and myopias about astigmatisms were examined, using the method of equivalent spherical power. When astigmatisms were marked in S-C, cylinder lens diopter and astigmatism axis, presbyopic additions and pupillary distances were analyzed by comparison respectively. Results: Among ametropias of Koreans myopias and hypermetropias were 93.69% and 6.31% respectively and about ametropias of Philippines myopia and hypermetropias were 73.43% and 26.57% respectively. As for spherical equivalent power about Koreans, the results showed that Koreans marked -3.352 D about myopia and Philippines marked -2.213 D about it. There is a gap of -1.139 D between them. About hypermetropia Koreans marked 1.147 D and Philippines, 1.251 D and their gap is 0.104 D. As for ametropia of Koreans there is 49.86% in middle myopia, 32.28% about low myopia, 11.55% about high myopia, and 5.54% about low hypermetropia, 0.75% about middle hypermetropia. As for it about Philippines there is 44.53% in low myopia, 25.11% about middle myopia, 3.79% high myopia and 23.03% low hypermetropia, and 3.51% low hypermetropia respectively. As for cylinder lens there is differences of 0.194 D and 0.22 D between Korean and Philippine for both sexes. Totally Koreans have higher cylinders of 0.175 D than Philippines. As for astigmatism, Koreans have direct astigmatism, inverse astigmatism, and oblique astigmatism in their suffering sequence. As for Philippines, they have direct astigmatism, inverse stigmatism, and oblique astigmatism in their abnormal sequence, and they have higher oblique stigmatism than Koreans. As for presbyopic addition, Philippines have higher distributions than Koreans, and 0.296 D is higher in average. As for pupillary distance, Koreans have longer distance of 0.97 mm in man and 0.63 mm in women than Philippines. Conclusions: As for ametropia, Koreans and Philippines have more myopias than hypermetropias, but Philippines have more rates of hypermetropias than Koreans. And Philippines have more presbyopic additions. Koreans have higher morbidity of inverse astigmatism, and Philippines have higher morbidity of oblique astigmatism comparatively. As for pupillary distance, Koreans have longer length in the body characteristics. This shows that geographical circumstances have much to do with refraction conditions of eyes.

A diffusion process is often the main mechanism of soil gas/vapor movement in the vadose zone. The diffusion coefficients in the porous soil media are different from those in the free air phase by the reduction of available area for diffusion, tortuous diffusion path and variable cross section area along the diffusion path. To take account those effects of the diffusion process in the porous media, usually the terms of effective diffusion coefficient and tortuosity are have been used. However, as there are many differents definitions for the tortuosity, when the term of tortuosity is used, it is necessary to examine it throughly. Moreover, there are many different equations for the effective diffusion coefficient according to the investigators and the differences in the values of effective diffusion coefficients between the equations are not insignificant, the selection of the equation should be done with caution. In this paper, the different definitions of effective diffusion coefficient are examined and discussed. As well as definitions, the lots of availabe models for the diffusion coefficient in terms of porosities are compared. Also, the constrictiviy which explains the effect of cross sectional area change over the diffusion path was discussed.

This paper proposes how to fabricate an educational Mach-Zehnder interferometer that is easy to align and inexpensive, using 3D printers and semiconductor lasers. The interferometer consists of a body $165mm{\times}120mm{\times}57mm$ in size, mirror mounts, a laser holder, beam splitters, and so on. The laser path is adjusted by 4 mirror mounts, each comprised of rubber bands, small metal wires, and a screw. The interference fringe is enlarged by the lens at the final stage. The refractive index of a slide glass was measured by counting the number of moving interference fringes while the slide glass, inserted into one of the two interferometer arms, is rotating. The formula for the refractive index as a function of the optical-path difference and rotation angle was obtained, and used to calculate the refractive index of glass from the interferometer experiment. The use of a rotating glass in one arm of the interferometer nullifies the need for a precision stage, which despite its high cost is often required to observe the moving interference fringe in the classroom. Therefore, the 3D-printed Mach-Zehnder interferometer proposed in this paper can be very useful for education, because of its affordability and performance. It enables students to perform both qualitative and quantitative studies using a 3D-printed interferometer, such as measuring the refractive index of a glass sample, and the wavelength of light.

Purpose: This study was conducted to estimate the changes of corrected diopter and corrected visual acuity with the change in vertex distance. Also we aimed to provide basic data for refraction test. Methods: Using the trial lens, we measured the corrected diopter and corrected visual acuity after performing binocular balance test. We measured the changes of corrected diopter and corrected visual acuity in change of vertex distance. We analyzed statistical significance and relations between vertex distance and corrected diopter and corrected visual acuity. Results: There was no difference in corrected diopter with the change of vertex distance within -1.00D, but the corrected diopter increased with it over - 1.25D. In particular, the change of diopter was largest when the vertex distance increased 15 mm. At over 11.00D, there was large changes of diopter with the changes of vertex distance at 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm. On correlation analysis between the vertex distance and the corrected diopter, there was strong correlation (r=0.999 at 5 mm increase of vertex distance, r=0.982 at 10 mm increase and r=0.957 at 15 mm increase) and also there was significant (p<0.01). At the change of visual acuity in increased of vertex distance, the range of a decrease in visual acuity was large when the changes of vertex distance was largest. On correlation analysis between the vertex distance and the corrected visual acuity, there was strong correlation (r=0.969 at 5 mm increase of vertex distance, r=0.985 at 10 mm increase and r=0.994 at 15 mm increase) and also there was significant (p<0.01). Conclusions: The vertex distance was very important at the refraction test and at wearing spectacle. On correlation analysis between the vertex distance and the corrected diopter, and the corrected visual acuity, there was strong correlation and statistically significant. Therefore, the vertex distance should be kept at the refraction using trial lens, and the best fitting was made not to slipping forward, and so we suggested regular refitting of spectacle and the managing method of spectacle were educated to the spectacle wearers.

Geophysical surveys(electrical resistivity, self-potential, seismic refraction, GPR) were conducted to investigate the physical properties of the subsurface, and to delineate the flow channel of leachate from a AMD(acid mine drainage), buried rock wastes and tailings, and drainage pipes at an abandoned mine(Kwangyang mine). Especially in rainy season the sites appear to be abundant in AMD leachate, characterized by electrical conductivities of 0.98-1.10 ms/S. Electrical resistivity sections indicate that the leachate flows running in two directions at southern part rise up through the narrow fracture zones at the central part and contaminates the surrounding soil and stream. Such schematic features at the anomalous zone are well correlated with negative peaks in self-potential data, the limited penetration depth in GPR data and low velocity zone in seismic refraction data. Shallow high-resistivity zone is associated with the buried rock wastes which cause the diffractions in GPR image. In addition, the events at depth of approximately 1-1.25 m in GPR sections must be the metal pipes through which AMD is drained off to the inner bay.
