In this paper, A new 2-D DCT algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational amount of transform operation using the distribution of the motion compensated error signal and the bit allocation table. In the this algorithm, 2-D Walsh-Hadamard transform is directly computed and then multiplied by a constant matrix. Multiplications are concentrated on the final stage in thie algorithm, thus the computational amount is reduced in proportion to the number of transform coefficients that are excluded from quatization. The computational amount in computing only the DCT coefficients allocated to the bit allocation table is calculated. As the result, the number of multiplications is less thn the algorithm known to have the fewest number of computations when less than 0.6 bits per pixel are allocated to tranform coding for the motion compensated error image in the case of the proposed algorithm. Thus, it shows that the proposed algorithm is valid in reducing the computational loads of transform coding.

A polarograph with specially designed cell compartment usable in kinetic study of the mitochondrial respiration of a small sized sample was made, and its performance and experimental conditions were examined. An applied potential (ca-1.2V vs. SCE) which gives rise to the second step reduction of oxygen caused a considerable level of a residual current independent of oxygen, which is temporarily interpreted as the reduction current of the membrane-bound redox material(s) of mitochondria. A potential corresponding to the first slop reduction of oxygen (ca-0.4V vs SCE) did not produce the residual current. Thus, it is suggested that a measurement of oxygen concentration in a sample of mitochondria and submitochondrial particles by using dropping mercury electrode should be done with an applied potential of about -0.4V vs SCE. Consumption of oxygen by mitochondria was observed to follow practically zero order kinetics. Its rate constant exhibited the proportional relationship with the respiratory activity of mitochondria. Usefulness of tile instrument was properly demonstrated in the work on the temperature effect on the respiration of mitochondria isolated from several plant 4issues which were selected on the basis of chilling susceptivity.

In this paper, we establish a mode oxidation process for formation of $Ta_2O_5$ insulator film. The voltage drop in the electrolyte is affected not in voltage change but in current change. If the voltage drop in the electrolyte is same with cathode oxidation voltage, the current changes logarithmically in proportion to the voltage drop in interface of Ta2O5/electrolyte. As a result of the measurement on the electrical property of $Ta_2O_5$ insulator film, when the thickness of the insulator film is $1500\AA$, the breakdown voltage is 350volts Ind dielectric constant is 29.

A change of filtrate flux in Taylor vortex flow filtration was investigated experimentally by rotating speed of inner cellulose ester membrane cylinder (average pore size: 1.2 ${\mu}m$), slurry concentration, and particle size. The filtrate flux was a direct proportion relation with TMP, but an inverse relation with resistances. A change of cake resistance with time was examined by rotating speed, slurry concentration, and particle size. Initial resistance increased dramatically as raising slurry concentration, and the pseudo-steady state was maintained at high resistance value. However, times to reach the pseudo-steady state did not depend on slurry concentration. The resistance was larger as smaller particle size, because possibility of pore blocking inside membrane could be higher and shear effect should be lower as smaller particle size. A model equation suggested in this study was composed of particle deposition and removal terms, and could confirm well experimental data using average values of experimental coefficients.

현재 반도체시장의 확장으로 인해서 기존의 300mm 웨이퍼에서 450mm의 웨이퍼를 사용하는 공정으로 변화하는 추세이다. 450mm 웨이퍼로 대면적 화되면서 기존 300mm 공정 때보다 훨씬 효율적인 플라즈마 소스 즉, 고밀도이고, 고균등화(high uniformity) 플라즈마 소스를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 고밀도 플라즈마 소스인 유도 결합형 플라즈마(Inductively Coupled Plasma ; ICP)에 축 방향의 약한 자기장을 인가시킨 자화된 유도결합형 플라즈마(Magnetized Inductively Coupled Plasma : MICP)[1]를 제안하여 기존 ICP와의 차이점을 살펴보았다. 실험 방법으로 레이저 유기 형광법(Laser Induced Fluorescence : LIF)[2]을 이용하여 플라즈마 쉬스(Sheath) 내의 전기장을 외부 자기장의 변화에 따라 높이별로 측정하고 그 결과로부터 쉬스의 전기적 특성을 살펴보았다. 플라즈마의 특성상 탐침이나 전극에 전압을 인가하면 그 주위로 디바이 차폐(Debye Shielding)현상이 일어나서 플라즈마 왜곡이 일어난다. 그렇기에 플라즈마, 특히 플라즈마 쉬스의 특성을 파악하기 위해서 레이저라는 기술을 사용하였다. 레이저는 고가의 장비이고 그 사용에 많은 경험지식(know-how)를 필요로 하지만 플라즈마를 왜곡시키지 않고, 플라즈마의 밀도, 온도, 전기장 등 많은 상수(parameter)들을 얻어 낼 수 있다. 또한 3차원적으로 높은 분해능을 가지고 있는 장점이 있다. 강한 전기장이 있는 곳에서 입자들의 고에너지 준위가 전기장의 세기에 비례하여 분리되는 Stark effect[3] 이론을 이용하여 플라즈마 쉬스내의 전기장을 측정하였다. 실험은 헬륨가스 700mTorr 압력에서 이루어졌다. 기판의 파워를 50W에서 300W까지 변화시키면서 기판에 생기는 쉬스의 전기장의 변화를 살펴보았고, 자기장을 인가한 후 동일한 실험을 하여 자기장의 유무에 따른 플라즈마 쉬스의 전기장 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험결과 플라즈마 쉬스의 전기장의 변화는 기판의 파워와 플라즈마 밀도에 크게 의존함을 알았다. 기판의 파워가 커질수록 쉬스의 전기장은 커지고, 기판에 생기는 Self Bias Voltage역시 음의 방향으로 커짐을 확인 하였다. 또한 자기장을 걸어주었을 경우 쉬스의 두께가 얇아짐으로써 플라즈마의 밀도가 증가했음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this study, the polarization reversal characteristics of thin film capacitors with a thickness of 100 nm or less fabricated with ferroelectric polymer were measured and analyzed. For the fixed film thickness, polarization reversal occurred at higher coercive fields as the applied maximum electric field increased. For the fixed maximum electric field, polarization reversal occurred at the same coercive field irrespective of the thickness of the thin film. The proportional constant values between the logarithmic electric field and the logarithmic scale frequency were $0.12{\pm}0.01$ for all measurements. As a result, the ferroelectric polymer capacitors consistently exhibited polarization reversal characteristics without any size effects up to a thickness of 40 nm. This study shows the possibility of a polymer memory device that can operate at low voltage, which is useful for predicting the behavior of a low-voltage operating polymer memory device.

A systematic study of Bloch surface wave (BSW), which is created by guided mode resonance (GMR) of dielectric multilayer structures with a grating profile, is presented to analyze the sensing performance of bio-sensors. The effect of structural parameters on optical behavior is evaluated by using Babinet's principle and modal transmission-line theory. The sensitivity of designed bio-sensors is proportional to the grating constant at wavelength spectrum, and inversely proportional to the normal wave vector of incident electromagnetic wave at angular spectrum. Numerical results for two devices with SiO/SiO₂ and TiO₂/SiO₂ multilayer dielectric stacks are presented, showing that BSW can be exploited for the realization of efficient diffraction-based bio-sensors from infrared to visible-band range.

In this paper, we proposed a numerical model the complex permittivity for the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminate containing electrical conductive carbon black. The model is based on the percolation theory and for the composites over than the percolation threshold and in higher frequency band in that the AC conductivity is fully proportional to the frequency. The measurement for the complex permittivity wasperformed at the frequency band of 0.5 GHz $\sim$ 18.0 GHz using a vector network analyzer with a 7 mm coaxial air line. The proposed model is composed of the numerical equations of the scaling law used in percolation theory and constants obtained from experiments to quantify the model itself. The model describes the complex permittivity as the function of frequency and filler concentration. The model was verified by being compared with the measurements.

Purpose SPECT/CT was noted for its excellent correction method and qualitative functions based on fusion images in the early stages of dissemination, and interest in and utilization of quantitative functions has been increasing with the recent introduction of companion diagnostic therapy(Theranostics). Unlike PET/CT, various conditions like the type of collimator and detector rotation are a challenging factor for image acquisition and reconstruction methods at absolute quantification of SPECT/CT. Therefore, in this study, We want to find out the effect on the radioactivity concentration estimate by the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time according to the number of projections and the acquisition time per projection among SPECT/CT imaging conditions. Materials and Methods After filling the 9,293 ml cylindrical phantom with sterile water and diluting 99mTc 91.76 MBq, the standard image was taken with a total acquisition time of 600 sec (10 sec/frame × 120 frames, matrix size 128 × 128) and also volume sensitivity and the calibration factor was verified. Based on the standard image, the comparative images were obtained by increasing or decreasing the total acquisition time. namely 60 (-90%), 150 (-75%), 300 (-50%), 450 (-25%), 900 (+50%), and 1200 (+100%) sec. For each image detail, the acquisition time(sec/frame) per projection was set to 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 15.0 and 20.0 sec (fixed number of projections: 120 frame) and the number of projection images was set to 12, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 240 frames(fixed time per projection:10 sec). Based on the coefficients measured through the volume of interest in each acquired image, the percentage of variation about the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was determined as a qualitative assessment, and the quantitative assessment was conducted through the percentage of variation of the radioactivity concentration estimate. At this time, the relationship between the radioactivity concentration estimate (cps/ml) and the actual radioactivity concentration (Bq/ml) was compared and analyzed using the recovery coefficient (RC_Recovery Coefficients) as an indicator. Results The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the change in the number of projections for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.5%, +3.90%, 1.04] at -90%, [-77.9%, +2.71%, 1.03] at -75%, [-55.6%, +1.85%, 1.02] at -50%, [-33.6%, +1.37%, 1.01] at -25%, [-33.7%, +0.71%, 1.01] at +50%, [+93.2%, +0.32%, 1.00] at +100%. and also The results [CNR, radioactivity Concentration, RC] by the acquisition time change for each increase or decrease rate (-90%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +50%, +100%) of total acquisition time are as follows. [-89.3%, -3.55%, 0.96] at - 90%, [-73.4%, -0.17%, 1.00] at -75%, [-49.6%, -0.34%, 1.00] at -50%, [-24.9%, 0.03%, 1.00] at -25%, [+49.3%, -0.04%, 1.00] at +50%, [+99.0%, +0.11%, 1.00] at +100%. Conclusion In SPECT/CT, the total coefficient obtained according to the increase or decrease of the total acquisition time and the resulting image quality (CNR) showed a pattern that changed proportionally. On the other hand, quantitative evaluations through absolute quantification showed a change of less than 5% (-3.55 to +3.90%) under all experimental conditions, maintaining quantitative accuracy (RC 0.96 to 1.04). Considering the reduction of the total acquisition time rather than the increasing of the image acquiring time, The reduction in total acquisition time is applicable to quantitative analysis without significant loss and is judged to be clinically effective. This study shows that when increasing or decreasing of total acquisition time, changes in acquisition time per projection have fewer fluctuations that occur in qualitative and quantitative condition changes than the change in the number of projections under the same scanning time conditions.

A series of bis-aromatic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketone derivatives with mesaured fungicidal activities in vivo against rice blast(Pyricularia oryzae), tomato leaf blight (Phytophtora infestans) and barley powdery mildew(Erysiphe graminis) were studied by using quantitative structure activity relationship equations. The QSAR model for the activity of phenyl substituents, $1{\sim}11$, clearly reveals three important factors, namely, resonance(R<0), optimal molecular hydrophobicity(${\pi})_{opt.}=0.38$) and optimal distance($((L_{1})_{opt.}=5.69({\AA}))$ of substituent, respectively. But in case of 2-pyridyl substituents, $12{\sim}28$, the activity were governed by optimal molecular refractivity $((M_{R})_{opt.}=8.04{\sim}39cm^{3}/mol)$, steric effect(Es<0) and LUMO energy(e.v). The fungicidal activity relationship of phenyl and 2-pyridyl substituents against Erysiphe graminis have been proportioned.
