The sites for $Fe^{+3}$ are partly substituted by $Co^{+2}$ and $Ti^{+4}$ cations to control coercivity of Ba-ferrite particles for use in high density magnetic recording. The substituted $Co^{+2}$ cation has very much different effects on magnetic properties and particle characteristics from that $Ti^{+4}$ cation has. The decrease in the coercivity with the $Co^{+2}$ substitution is attributed to the formation of excessive spinel-block(S-block) in pure Ba-ferrite crystal, while saturation magnetization is increased and the distributions of coercivity and particle size become broad. The substitution with the $Ti^{+4}$ decreases the sauration magnetization, but has less effect on a change in coercivity than the $Co^{+2}$. The $Ti^{+4}$ acts as a nucleation agent in amorphous phase of formulated compound, and consequently particle size and aspect ratio are decreased. Furthermore, the enhancement of substitution of the $Co^{+2}$ for the $Fe^{+3}$ sites in rhombohedral-block(R-block) by the $Ti^{+4}$ retards the nucleation of spinel phase of Ba-ferrite, which results in uniform magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite particles. It is suggested that the contents of the cations to be substituted for the $Fe^{+3}$ sites are optimized on the bases of magnetic properties and particle characteristics rather than on the base of electrical charge balance.

Catalytic wet oxidation of ppm levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water has been conducted using $TiO_2$-supported cobalt oxides at a given temperature and weight hourly space velocity. 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ might be the most promising catalyst for the wet oxidation at $36^{\circ}C$ although it exhibited a transient behavior in time on-stream activity. Not only could the bare support be inactive for the wet decomposition reaction, but no TCE removal also occurred by the process of adsorption on $TiO_2$ surface. The catalytic activity was independent of all particle sizes used, thereby representing no mass transfer limitation in intraparticle diffusion. Characterization of the $CoO_x$ catalyst by acquiring XPS spectra of both fresh and used Co surfaces gave different surface spectral features of each $CoO_x$. Co $2p_{3/2}$ binding energy of Co species exposed predominantly onto the outermost surface of the fresh catalyst appeared at 781.3 eV, which is very similar to the chemical states of $CoTiO_x$ such as $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$. The spent catalyst possessed a 780.3 eV main peak with a satellite structure at 795.8 eV. Based on XPS spectra of reference Co compound, the TCE-exposed Co surfaces could be assigned to be in the form of mainly $Co_3O_4$. XRD measurements indicated that the phase structure of Co species in 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst even before reaction is quite comparable to the diffraction lines of external $Co_3O_4$ standard. A model structure of $CoO_x$ present on titania surfaces would be $Co_3O_4$, encapsulated in thin-film $CoTiO_x$ species consisting of $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$, which may be active for the decomposition of TCE in a flow of water.

This study investigated the firing temperature and thermal deformation process of roof tiles excavated from the connected stone-mound tomb in Seokchon-dong, Seoul, based on mineralogical and physical properties. A large number of roof tiles were excavated from the tomb site and some roof tiles were deformed by heat and were fired in uneven conditions. The colors of original roof tiles and their cores are mostly yellowish-brown, with high water absorption over 12%, containing fine-grained textures and some minerals such as quartz, feldspars, amphibole, and mica. It is estimated that the original roof tiles were fired below 900℃ in oxidation condition, showing loose matrices and mica layers by scanning electron microscopy. However, deformed roof tiles have the uneven surface color of reddish-brown and bluish-gray, and those cross-sections have sandwich structures in which dense reddish-brown surface and porous grey core coexist. They contained mullite and hercynite, so it was estimated to have been fired over 1,000℃, with 0.81~11% water absorption. In some samples, bloating pores by overfiring were observed, which means that they were fired at more than 1,200℃. In addition, the refirng experiments that the original roof tile was fired between 800℃ and 1,200℃ were carried out to investigate the physical and mineralogical properties of roof tiles compared to deformed ones. As a result, the water absorption decreased rapidly and the mineral phase started to change over 1,000℃. As the temperature gradually rises, the matrices are partially melted and recrystallized, resulting in similar thermal characteristics of deformed roof tiles. Therefore, the roof tiles from ancient tombs in Seokchon-dong seem to experience the secondary high temperature of 1,000 to 1,200℃ under uneven firing conditions, resulting in deformation characteristics such as shape transformation and mineral phase transition. It is considered to have been related to cremation rituals at the tombs of Seockchon-dong during the Baekje period.

A novel reference point detection method is proposed by exploiting tile gradient probabilistic model that captures the curvature information of fingerprint. The detection of reference point is accomplished through searching and locating the points of occurrence of the most evenly distributed gradient in a probabilistic sense. The uniformly distributed gradient texture represents either the core point itself or those of similar points that can be used to establish the rigid reference from which to map the features for recognition. Key benefits are reductions in preprocessing and consistency of locating the same points as the reference points even when processing arch type fingerprints. Moreover, the new feature extraction method is proposed by improving the existing feature extraction using filterbank method. Experimental results indicate the superiority of tile proposed scheme in terms of computational time in feature extraction and verification rate in various noisy environments. In particular, the proposed gradient probabilistic model achieved 49% improvement under ambient noise, 39.2% under brightness noise and 15.7% under a salt and pepper noise environment, respectively, in FAR for the arch type fingerprints. Moreover, a reduction of 0.07sec in reference point detection time of the GPM is shown possible compared to using the leading the poincare index method and a reduction of 0.06sec in code extraction time of the new filterbank mettled is shown possible compared to using the leading the existing filterbank method.

In traditional routing protocols including LEACH for wireless sensor networks, nodes suffer from unbalanced energy consumption because the nodes require large transmission energy as the distance to the sink node increase. Multi-hop based routing protocols have been studied to address this problem. In existing protocols, each cluster head usually chooses the closest head as a relay node. We propose LEACH-CHT, in which cluster heads choose the path with least energy consumption to send data to the sink node. In our research, each hop, a cluster head selects the least cost path to the sink node. This method solves the looping problem efficiently as well as make it possible that a cluster head excludes other cluster heads placed farther than its location from the path, without additional energy consumption. By balancing the energy consumption among the nodes, our proposed scheme outperforms existing multi-hop schemes by up to 36% in terms of average network lifetime.

Under the multiprogrammed situation, the performance of multiprocessor system is affected by the process allocation policy of the operating systems. The lowest communication cost can be achieved when the related processes positioned to the adjacent processors. While the effective allocation is quite difficult to the real situation, and the processing of the allocation policy consumes some computation time. The dual-ring CC-NUMA systems exhibit a quite performance difference according to the process a1location policy due to a lot of unbalanced memory transactions on the interconnection networks. In this paper, I propose a load balanced dual-link CC-NUMA system that does not requires the processes allocation policy. By the program-driven simulation results. the proposed system shows no remarkable difference according to the allocation policy while the dual-ring systems shows 10％ performance improvement by the process allocation. In addition, the proposed system outperforms the dual~ring systems about 1.5 times.

A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) for the application of $1.3{\mu}m$ vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has grown by digital-alloy AlGaAs layer using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The measured reflection spectra of the digital-alloy AlGaAs/GaAs DBR have uniformity in 0.35% over the 1/4 of 3-inch wafer. Furthermore, the TEM image showed that the composition and the thickness of the digital-alloy AlGaAs layer in AlGaAs/GaAs DBR was not affected by the temperature distribution over the wafer whole surface. Therefore, the digital-alloy AlGaAs/GaAs DBR can be used to get higher yield of VCSEL with the active medium of InAs quantum dots whose gain is inhomogeneously broadened.

Prosthodontic decision-making process is done through analysis of clinical information and mutual communication between patient and dentist. When opposing teeth are extruded due to missing tooth or tooth defects, selection of appropriate treatment plan and predictory prognosis can be complicated in functional rehabilitation. In case of severely disharmonious occlusal plane result from extruded teeth, re-establishment of the occlusal plane is required, if necessary via prudent evaluation. In this case, class III patient had unesthetic appearance and mastication discomfort caused by disharmonious occlusal plane due to severe extrusion. Through a structured diagnostic process, appropriate treatment plan was selected. Esthetic and functional results were obtained through from full mouth rehabilitation with re-establishment of the occlusal plane.

Biometrics is a study of identifying individual by using the features of human body. It has been studied for an alternative or complementary method for the classical method based on password, ID card, etc. In comparison with the fingerprint, iris, ear, palmprint, finger-knuckle print has been recently studied. This paper proposes an effective method for recognizing finger-knuckle print based on the feature of Gradient orientation. The main features of finger-knuckle print are the size and direction of winkles. In order to extract these features stably, we make a feature vector consisted of Gradient orientations after the preprocessing of enhancing non-uniform brightness and low contrast. Total 790 images acquired from 158 persons have been used at the experiment for evaluating the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results show the recognition rate of 99.69% and the relatively high decidability index of 1.882. These results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective in recognizing finger-knuckle print.
