This paper presents a new method for designing a dual-band WIFI antenna using the third-order harmonic mode of a monopole antenna whose first-order mode operates at the low frequency band of WIFI. As analysing the current distribution of the third-order mode of this monopole antenna, the strongest point of electric field can be found. Then by attaching a stub at this point, the resonant frequency of the stub radiator can be adjusted from the third-order mode of the monopole antenna into the high frequency band of WIFI and the input impedance at this resonant frequency can be controlled with the width of the branch, without affecting the low frequency band of WIFI (the first-order mode of the monopole antenna). The compact dual-band antenna is designed at the size of an USB(universal serial bus) dongle and the bandwidth covers 600 MHz(2.3~3 GHz) at 2 GHz and 1 GHz(4.9~5.9 GHz) at 5 GHz under -10 dB which is satisfied with WLAN frequency. Efficiency of proposed antenna achieves over 50 % at WLAN frequency.

Recently, the use of wireless communication systems has been rapidly increasing, which results in a difficult problem in efficient control of limited frequency resources. As a way of solving this problem, the ultra wideband time hopping impulse radio system attracts much attention. The impulse radio system communicates pulse position modulated data using Gaussian monocycle pulses of very short duration less than 1 nsec. Thus the transmitted signal has very low power spectral density and ultra wide bandwidth from near D.C. to a few GHz. It is blown that it hardly interferes with the existing communication systems because of its very low power spectral density. The purpose of this paper is to characterize multipath propagation of the impulse radio signal and to evaluate the performance of the correlator-based receiver for the multipath environments. In this paper, we consider the deterministic two-path model and the statistical indoor multipath model of Saleh and Valenzuela. For the two-path model the output of the correlator with the ideal reference waveform varies according to the relative difference between the indirect path delay and the time interval of PPM, and to the indirect path gains. In addition, the characteristics of bit error rates is measured for the two models through computer simulation. The simulation results indicate that the performance of the impulse radio system depends both on the relative difference between the indirect path delay and the time interval of PPM, and on the indirect path gains. Furthermore, it is observed that the reference signal designed for the AWGN channel can not be applied to the multipath channels.

The hydrolysis characteristics of each fatty acid composing the fish oil by means of the lipase from Candida cylindracea was investigated. The saturated fatty acids, C14:0, C16:0 and C18:0, and the unsaturated fatty acids with one double bond, C16:1, C18:1(n-7), C18:(n-9), C20:1 and C22:1 were more easily hydrolyzed than the $\omega$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. when the number of carbon of the $\omega$-3 fatty acids was same but that of double bond was different, the hydrolysis of the $\omega$-3 fatty acids having lower number of double bond was more rapidly carried out. When the degree of polyunsaturation was same but the number of carbon was different, the lipase acted more rapidly upon the $\omega$-3 fatty acids with lower number of carbon. Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) was most highly concentrated in the glyceride mixture after 120hr hydrolysis among the various $\omega$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The weight percentage of DHA to the $\omega$-3 fatty acids in the fish oil was 31.87% but that in the glyceride mixture after 120hr hydrolysis was 51.89%.

The contribution of endogenous transport systems to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport of basic and acidic drugs was studied by using a carotid injection technique in rats and an isolated bovine cerebrovascular disease state were compared between the normotensive rats (WKY) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) which have been well established as an animal model with pathogenic similarities to humans. Basic drugs such as eperisone, thiamine and scopolamine inhibited, in a concentration dependent manner the in vivo uptake of $[{^3}H]choline$ through BBB, whereas amino acids and acidic drugs such as salicylic acid and valproic acid did not inhibit the uptake. The uptake of $[^3H]choline$ by B-CAP increased with time and showed a remarkable temperature dependency. The uptake of $[^3H]choline$ by B-CAP showed the very similar inhibitory effects as observed in the in vivo brain uptake, and was competitively inhibited by a basic drug, eperisone. The in vivo BBB uptakes of $[^3H]acetic$ acid and $[^{14}C]salicylic$ acid were dependent on pH of the injectate and the concentration of drugs. Several acidic drugs such such as salicylic acid, benzoic acid and valproic acid inhibited the in vivo uptake of $[^3H]acetic$ acid, whereas amino acid, choline and a basic drug such as eperisone did not inhibit the uptake. The uptake of acetic acid by B-CAP was competitively inhibited by salicylic acid. The permeability surface area product (PS) through BBB for $[^3H]choline$ in SHRSP was significantly lower than that in WKY. The concentration of choline in the brain dialysate in SHRSP was about half of that in WKY, while no significant difference was observed in the plasma concentration of choline between SHRSP and WKY. No significant difference was observed in the transport of monocarboxylic acids, glucose and neutral amino acid through BBB between SHRSP and WKY. From these results, it was concluded that BBB transport system of choline contributes to the transport of basic drugs through BBB, that acidic drugs can be transported via a moncarboxylic acid BBB transport system and that the specific dysfuntion of the BBB choline transport in SHRSP was ascribed to the reduction of the maximum velocity of choline concentration in the brain interstitial fluids.

Caries remains prevalent throughout modern society and is the main disease in the field of dentistry. Although studies of this disease have used diverse methodology, recently, X-ray microtomography has gained popularity as a non-destructive, 3-dimensional (3D) analytical technique, and has several advantages over the conventional methods. According to X-ray source, it is classified as monochromatic or polychromatic with the latter being more widely used due to the high cost of the monochromatic source despite some advantages. The determination of mineral density profiles based on changes in X-ray attenuation is the principle of this method and calibration and image processing procedures are needed for the better image and reproducible measurements. Using this tool, 3D reconstruction is also possible and it enables to visualize the internal structures of dental caries. With the advances in the computer technology, more diverse applications are being studied, such automated caries assessment algorithms.

Thermal evaporated 10 nm-Ni/l nm-Ir/(or polycrystalline)p-Si(100) and 10 nm-$Ni_{50}Co_{50}$/(or polycrystalline)p-Si(100) films were thermally annealed using rapid thermal annealing fur 40 sec at $300{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$. The annealed bilayer structure developed into Ni(Ir or Co)Si and resulting changes in sheet resistance, microstructure, phase and composition were investigated using a four-point probe, a scanning electron microscopy, a field ion beam, an X-ray diffractometer and an Auger electron spectroscope. The final thickness of Ir- and Co-inserted nickel silicides on single crystal silicon was approximately 20$\sim$40 nm and maintained its sheet resistance below 20 $\Omega$/sq. after the silicidation annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$. The ones on polysilicon had thickness of 20$\sim$55 nm and remained low resistance up to $850^{\circ}C$. A possible reason fur the improved thermal stability of the silicides formed on single crystal silicon substrate is the role of Ir and Co in preventing $NiSi_2$ transformation. Ir and Co also improved thermal stability of silicides formed on polysilicon substrate, but this enhancement was lessened due to the formation of high resistant phases and also a result of silicon mixing during high temperature diffusion. Ir-inserted nickel silicides showed surface roughness below 3 nm, which is appropriate for nano process. In conclusion, the proposed Ir- and Co- inserted nickel silicides may be superior over the conventional nickel monosilicides due to improved thermal stability.

Is the development of linguistic competence due to the learning process or the maturational process? According to Piaget, its development is a genuine learning process involving authentic constructions with gradual disclosure of new possibilities. But According to Chomsky, the acquisition of linguistic competence is due to a genetically conditioned maturational process. So it merely involves the actualization of a set of possibilities existing from the beginning Consequently, Piaget supposes that interaction with the environment plays a shaping role, while Chomsky allows it to have a mere triggering role. In broad respective, Chomsky supposes the rationalism that knowledge is largely inborn, while Piaget in the constructivist position which strives to find a middle course between radical rationalism and radical empiricism. In the one hand, an ultra-rationalistic concept such as 'fixed nucleus' supposed by Chomsky is, in my eye, nor plausible. In the other hand, if Piagetian constructivism is to be sustained, it must be sustained independently of its dubious biological fundament, and merely as a developmental psychological theory. In one word, we need to synthesize Piagetian cognitive approach and Chomskian syntactical, in order to explain exactly the source of human linguistic competence.

최근 홍수파 또는 댐 및 보 등의 하천구조물과, 본류와 지류의 합류로 인해 발생하는 배수영향 등으로 하천에 고리형 수위-유량관계가 나타나 수위-유량관계식의 신뢰도가 저하된다고 판단되는 대하천 본류와 합류부 인근 지류에서 초음파유속계 측정결과를 지표로 활용하는 자동유량장치가 현재 58개소에 도입되어 운용되고 있다. 그러나, 최근 4대강 사업으로 다기능보 설치 등 하천의 수리적 특성이 변동하였고, 지류에서 주로 운용되는 수위-유량관계 기반 유량관측소에 본류-지류합류로 인한 배수영향으로 고리형 수위-유량관계가 형성될 경우, 지류 수위관측소를 자동유량관측소로 대체할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, 기존 자동유량관측소의 경우 홍수량이 기준이하로 나타날 경우 수위-유량 관계식으로 대체하는 경우도 있는데 적용기준이 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신규 자동유량장치 설치, 기존 수위관측소의 자동유량관측소대체, 자동유량관측소에서 수위-유량관계곡선의 활용 기준 마련 등을 명확하게 판단하기 위해 고리형 수위-유량관계 패턴을 분석하고 배수영향구간을 산정하여 제시하고 지류 수위관측소의 존속여부, 유량자료의 적절성을 판단할 수 있는 방법론을 제시 하고자한다. 이를 위해, 다기능보 설치 및 지류-본류로 인한 지류하천의 배수영향과 홍수파에 의한 고리형 수위-유량관계의 양상을 다양한 수문사상에 대해 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 대상유역을 선정하고, 대상유역에 대한 부정류 모형을 구축하기 위해 HEC-RAS 모형을 사용하고, 대상유역에 대한 HEC-RAS 지형자료와 유량입력자료를 구축한다. HEC-RAS 부정류 모형 구축 후 다양한 본류와 지류의 유량을 가정하여 고리형 수위-유량 발생 패턴을 분석한다. 지류-본류 합류 영향의 경우, 본류영향의 유무를 고려하여 상승된 수위의 비율로부터 일정 유의수준을 두어 배수영향구간을 산정한다. 다기능보의 영향은 다기능보 설치 전후를 가정하여 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 시범구역으로 하류에 창녕함안보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 남강과 하류에 달성보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 금호강을 대상하천으로 하여 위 분석방법을 적용하였다. 분석결과 남강의 경우 지류 유량이 작은 경우에도 본류 유량이 상대적으로 큰 경우 배수영향에 의한 고리형이 나타났고, 다기능보에 의한 배수영향은 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지류의 유량이 큰 경우 홍수파에 의한 고리형 관계도 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 금호강의 경우 또한 마찬가지로 본류의 유량에 의해 발생하는 고려형 관계가 지배적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 95%의 유의 수준을 기반으로 고리형 발생 여부를 확일할 수 있는 모노그래프를 남강, 금호강에 대해 작성하여 수위-유량관계 기반 유량 산정의 적절성을 판단하는 기준으로 제안하였다.

This study analyzed the changes in the industrial environment surrounding the Gumi region and the status of the industrial crisis in the Gumi area amid such changes. The Gumi region is experiencing a more turbulent period than ever in the environment changes at the international, national and local levels, such as the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the weakening of the competitiveness of key industries including mobile devices and displays, and the moving-out of core companies such as Samsung and LG Group. Accordingly, efforts have been made to diversify the industrial structure by fostering industry of automobile parts, high-tech medical devices and carbon materials to cope with and adapt to environmental changes at the regional level. However, the Gumi region is still locked in to the mono-cultural, large enterprise-dependent industrial structure centering on the mobile and display sectors, failing to overcome the regional industrial crisis and stagnating the overall local economy. The relocation of large companies began to increase in the 2010s, reducing the protection of large corporations against environmental changes at the corporate level. As a result, the crisis factors of small and mediumsized enterprises are gradually expanding to the national and international scale and working more complexly, which is beyond the level they can afford. So it is highly likely that the current industrial crisis will deepen. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience to adapt to changes in the environment when it comes to overcoming the industrial crisis in Gumi region. To this end, it is necessary to improve innovation capabilities and diversify businesses based on convergence and complex technologies at the enterprise level, and to be selected as a special crisis response area aimed at creating an innovative ecosystem through autonomous resonance of companies and industries at the local level.
