The performance of fuel cell is enhanced with increasing reaction surface. Narrow flow channels in flow plate cause increased pumping power. Therefore it is very important to consider the pressure drops in the flow channel of fuel cell. Previous research for pressure drop for micro channel of fuel cell was focused on effects of various configuration of flow channel without electrochemical reaction. It is very important to know pressure loss of micro flow channel with electrochemical reaction because fluid density in micro channel is changed due to chemical reaction. In this paper, it is investigated that the pressure drops in micro channel of various geometries at anode and cathode with electrochemical reaction and compared them to friction coefficient (fRe), velocity, pressure losses for corresponding non reacting flow channel. The results show that friction factors for cold flow channel could be used for parallel and bended flow channel for flow channel design of fuel cell. In the other hand, pressure drop for serpentine flow channel is the lowest among flow channels due to bypass flow across gas diffusion layer under reacting flow condition although its pressure drop is highest for cold flow condition.

Being aware of growing needs for wireless communication led to the development of UWB systems, this study proposed an impulse for single band UWB systems which does not count a carrier; analyzed the characteristics and the problems of pulses suggested by the existing poise of the Un system; finally, proposed TDMG(Time Delay Multiple Gaussian) pulse that generates signals of UWB without attenuation of pulse width. The hardware structure of the TDMC pulse for the single band UWB system was modelled after describing the pulse in a mathematical method in an attempt to compare with performances of the existing pulses through computer simulation. The outcome of the test unveiled the fact that each center frequency of the TDMG pulse rose approximately 1GHz, and also each l0dB fractional bandwidth of the TDMG pulse was widened over 1GHz. In the case of derivative, center frequencies of the TDMG pulse rose over 1GHz each. As a consequence, the TDMG pulse appeared to have better quality frequency, satisfying the characteristics of spectrum and the band of frequency recommended by the FCC and decreasing interference with other wireless communication systems.

Objectives : The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial was to examine how acupuncture treatment at Shinmun(HT7) affects the brain activity and the autonomic nervous system(ANS), using electroencephalograms(EEG) and heart rate variability(HRV). Methods : Eighteen healthy volunteers participated in two separate experiments: in each experiment, either real acupuncture(RA) or non-penetrating sham acupuncture(SA) was applied at HT7 in random sequences to each person. The EEG and HRV measurements were conducted simultaneously before and during the acupuncture stimulation for 5 minutes, respectively. Resulting EEG and HRV parameters were compared between RA and SA groups. To assess differences according to the stress levels for participants, subgroup analysis was performed based on the results of the stress response index questionnaire. Results : In the results, acupuncture stimulation at HT7 increased ${\alpha}$ band in EEG. In the HRV analysis, heart rate was decreased significantly but HF and RMS-SD were increased in the RA group, compared with those of the SA group. In the subgroup analysis by stress level, participants in the RA group with high stress exhibited an increased in ${\alpha}$ band in their EEG while the low stress participants showed decrease or little increase in the band. For the SA group, ${\alpha}$ band reported relatively moderate changes in all channels. Conclusions : Our results showed that acupuncture induces changes in brain activation and the ANS. Acupuncture was related to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. The brain activities of the participants were different depending on the stress level.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the behavior and the mechanism of debris flow on the slope, which has specially various gradient plane. The numerical simulation was performed by using the Finite Differential Element method (FDM) based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation. The mechanism of flow type for debris flow is divided into three flow types which are stony debris flow, immature debris flow, and turbulent water flow, respectively. First, flow discharge, water flow depth, sediment volume concentration was investigated by variable input of flow discharge at the straight slope angle and two step inclined plane. As the input of flow discharge was decrease, flow discharge and water flow depth was increased, after the first coming debris flow only reached at the downstream. As the input of flow discharge was increased, the curve of flow discharge and flow depth was highly fluctuated. As the results of RMS ratio, the flow discharge and flow depth was lower two step slope angle than the straight slope angle. Second, the behavior of debris flow was investigated by the four cases of gradient degree at the downstream of slope angle. The band width of flow discharge and flow depth for $14^{\circ}$ between $16^{\circ}$ was higher than other gradient degree, and fluctuation curve was continuously high after 10 seconds.

The study was carried out to investigate the effects of hydrolysis conditions such as treatment times and concentrations on the solubility of insoluble sericin using the hydrochloric acid solution. When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by HCl solution, the solubility was increased with the higher treatment concentration. As the results of electrophoresis of sericin powder obtained by the HCl treatment, a distinguishable band was not confirmed. Average degree of polymerizations(A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by HCl solution were about 4.2~5.9 and average molecular weights(M.W.) were about 470~670. The longer hydrolysis time reduced the whiteness of sericin powder. As the results of amino acid analysis, the amino acid compositions of the sericin powder from HCl treatment were sililar to that of insoluble sericin, but Tyr. and Arg. were not detected in the powder obtained by HCl treatment. In DSC analysis, thermal deformation and pyrolysis peak located at near 220$^{\circ}C$ and 330$^{\circ}C$.

MOSFET의 크기는 작아지고 다양한 소자열화 현상으로 신뢰성 문제가 나타나고 있다. 특히 CMOS 인버터에서 PMOS가 'HIGH'일 때 음의 게이트 전압이 인가되고 소자 구동으로 인해 온도가 높아지면 드레인 전류의 절대값은 줄어들고 문턱 전압 절대값과 GIDL전류가 증가하는 NBTI현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 NBTI현상에 따른 열화 특성을 분석하였다. 측정은 드레인과 소스는 접지시킨 상태에서 온도 $100^{\circ}C$에서 게이트에 -3.4V과 -4V의 게이트 스트레스를 인가한 후 게이트 전압에 따른 드레인 전류를 스트레스 시간에 따라 측정하였다. 측정에 사용된 소자의 산화막 두께는 25A, 채널 길이는 $0.17{\mu}m$, 폭은 $3{\mu}m$이다. 게이트에 음의 전압이 가해지면 게이트 산화막에 양전하의 interface trap이 생기게 된다. 이로 인해 채널 형성을 방해하고 문턱 전압은 높아지고 드레인 전류의 절대값은 낮아지게 된다. 또한 게이트와 드레인 사이의 에너지 밴드는 게이트 전압으로 인해 휘어지게 되면서 터널링이 더 쉽게 일어나 GIDL전류가 증가한다. NBTI스트레스 시간이 증가함에 따라 게이트 산화막에 생긴 양전하로 인해 문턱 전압은 1,000초 스트레스 후 스트레스 전압이 각각 -3.4V, -4V일 때 스트레스 전에 비해 각각 -0.12V, -0.14V정도 높아지고 드레인 전류의 절대값은 5%와 24% 감소한다. GIDL전류 역시 스트레스 후 게이트 전압이 0.5V일 때, 스트레스 전에 비해 각각 $0.021{\mu}A$, $67{\mu}A$씩 증가하였다. 결과적으로, NBTI스트레스가 인가됨에 따라 게이트 전압 0.5V에서 0V사이의 드레인 전류가 증가함으로 GIDL전류가 증가하고 문턱전압이 높아져 드레인 전류가 -1.5V에서 드레인 전류의 절대값이 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

We prepared AZO (Al₂O₃ : 3 wt %) thin films according to the substrate temperature using the pulsed laser deposition method and the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the thin films were investigated. The AZO thin film deposited at 400℃ showed the best (002) orientation and the FWHM was 0.38°. As a result of the investigation of electrical properties, it was confirmed that the carrier concentration and mobility increased and the resistivity decreased as the substrate temperature increased. The average transmittance in the visible light region showed a high value of 85% or more regardless of the substrate temperature. The Burstein-Moss effect, in which the carrier concentration would increase with increasing substrate temperature thereby widening the energy band gap, was also observed. The resistivity and the figure of merit of the AZO thin film deposited at a substrate temperature of 400℃ were 6.77 × 10^-4 Ω·cm and 1.02 × 10⁴ Ω^-1·cm^-1 respectively, showing the best value.

The paper looked into the effects of the spectral properties (waveform) of the high intensity focused ultrasound on suppression of the ultrasonic cavitation. Three different types of ultrasound were considered in the study, which were sinusoidal (1 MHz, 5 MPa), frequency modulated (from 1 MHz to 6 MHz for 10 ㎲, 5 MPa), asymmetrically shocked (fundamental frequency 1 MHz, peak positive pressure 12 MPa, peak negative pressure -4 MPa). The temporal response of an air bubble in water initially 1 ㎛ in radius to each type of the ultrasound was predicted using Gilmore bubble dynamic model and Church's rectified gas diffusion equation. It was shown that the radially pulsating amplitude of the bubble was greatly reduced for the frequency modulated wave and was little decreased for the shock wave, compared to the case that the bubble was exposed to the sinusoidal wave. It is interesting that the bubble response to the frequency modulated wave remains similar when the frequency component of the modulated ultrasound is beyond the bubble resonant frequency 3 MHz. This implies that, although the ultrasound is modulated up to 3MHz rather than up to the present 6 MHz, it is likely to produce similar cavitation suppression effects. In practice, it means that a typical narrow band ultrasonic transducer can be taken to generate an appropriate frequency modulated ultrasound to reduce cavitation activity. The present study indicates that ultrasonic cavitation may be suppressed to some extent by a proper spectral modification of high intensity ultrasound.

III-N계 기반의 광 반도체는 직접 천이형 넓은 밴드갭 구조를 갖고 있기 때문에 자외선에서 가시광을 포함한 적외선까지 포함한 폭 넓은 발광이 가능하여 조명 및 디스플레이 관련 차세대 광원으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 p형 GaN의 경우, 상온에서 도펀트로 사용되는 마그네슘(Mg)이 수소(H)와 결합하여 보상 효과를 나타내기 때문에 높은 정공농도를 갖기에 어려움이 있다고 알려져 있다. 따라서, 대부분의 연구 그룹에서는 GaN계 LED 소자를 성장 후 rapid thermal annealing 공정이 요구되고 있고, 최근에는 박막 성장 후 반응로 내에서 자체적으로 열처리를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 열처리 조건은 LED 소자의 발광특성에 큰 영향을 주기 때문에 본 연구에서는 반응로에서 열처리가 된 LED 샘플에 대해 추가적인 열처리 공정의 유무에 따른 GaN계 LED소자의 광학적 및 전기적 특성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 금속유기화학증착법을 이용하여 c-면 사파이어 기판에 저온 GaN 완충층 및 $2.0{\mu}m$두께의 GaN 박막을 성장한 후, $3.0{\mu}m$두께의 n-형 GaN에피층과 InGaN/GaN 5주기의 양자우물구조를 형성하고 $0.1{\mu}m$두께의 p형 GaN층을 성장하였다. P-형 GaN층 성장 후 온도를 내리면서 $750^{\circ}C$, N2 분위기에서 5분간 Mg 활성화를 위한 열처리를 반응로에서 in-situ로 진행하였다. 그 후 급속열처리 장비에 장입하여 $650^{\circ}C$, N2 분위기에서 5분간 추가적인 열처리를 진행하여 추가 열처리 유무에 따른 LED소자의 특성을 분석하였다. 추가적인 열처리 유무에 따른 LED소자의 레이저 여기에 의한 포토루미네선스 스펙트럼과 전계발광 스펙트럼을 조사한 바, 포토루미네선스 스펙트럼의 경우 추가적인 열처리를 진행하였을 경우, 이전보다 발광 세기가 감소함을 나타내었다. 이는 추가적인 열처리에 의해 InGaN/GaN 활성층이 손상되었기 때문이라고 추측된다. 그러나 전계발광 스펙트럼에서는 활성층이 손상되었음에도 불구하고 전계 발광세기가 3배 가량 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 20 mA 인가 시 4.2 V 에서 3.7 V로 전압이 감소하였다. 상기 결과로 미루어 볼 때 열처리에 의한 InGaN/GaN 활성층 손상에도 불구하고 광 세기가 크게 증가한 것은 금속유기화학증착장치의 in-situ 열처리에 의한 Mg가 충분히 활성화되지 못하였고, 추가적인 열처리에 의하여 p형 GaN에서 Mg-H 복합체의 분리로 인한 Mg 활성화가 더욱더 효과적으로 이루어졌기 때문이라고 추측된다.
