We investigate, in the viewpoint of mathematical stability, the validity of the time-strain separability hypothesis employed in polymer viscoelasticity on the basis of experimental results. There have been suggested two distinct stability criteria such as Hadamard related to quick response and dissipative stability conditions, and in the limit of high deformation rate we have proved that separable constitutive equations are either Hadamard or dissipative unstable. The fact that the separability is not valid in the short time region in stress relaxation experiments exactly coincides with the results of our analysis. Therefore, since the application of the separability hypothesis incurs thermodynamic inconsistency as well as mathematical instability, such application should be avoided in the formulation of constitutive equations. In addition, careful attention should be paid to the limit of its validity even in experiments. It is also proved that there is neither theoretical nor physical validity of using the damping function.

Local college students are differenciated from Seoul-located university students and they experience discrimination and prejudice. The present paper examines the money-relating daily frustration among local university students compared to Seoul-located college students. For survey, twenty items were constructed in order to figure out daily frustration. About 400 local-college students and about 250 students were interviewed for the survey. As a result of Chi-square analysis, this study finds that local college students are more likely to confront money-relating frustration, compared to the Seoul-located college students. Youth allowance can be suggested for local college students in order to solve their confronting frustration, especially toward the convergence era.

차세대 디스플레이로 각광 받고 있는 유기발광소자는 빠른 응답속도, 넓은 시야각 및 얇은 두께로 제작이 가능한 장점들을 가지고 있으나, 고효율 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위하여 엑시톤 형성 효율을 증가시키고 형성된 엑시톤의 소멸을 감소시켜 발광 효율을 증진하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 유기발광소자의 발광 효율을 증진하기 위하여 소자의 구조에 대한 구조적 연구와 발광 물질에 대한 재료적 연구 등이 진행되고 있으며, 그 중에서 발광층에 사용하는 인광 물질은 삼중항 상태의 엑시톤을 광자로 천이할 수 있는 특성이 있어서 높은 발광 효율의 유기발광소자 제작이 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 인광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자의 엑시톤 수명이 형광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자의 엑시톤 수명보다 길기 때문에, 인광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자에서 형성된 삼중항 엑시톤끼리 서로 충돌하여 소멸될 확률이 높아지는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 인광물질을 사용한 유기발광소자 동작시에 높은 전류 영역에서 삼중항 엑시톤 형성 양이 많아서 삼중항 엑시톤 소멸 확률이 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고효율 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위하여 유기발광소자의 발광층으로 인광 호스트 물질에 iridium을 포함한 중금속 착화합물 계열의 녹색 인광 도펀트 물질인 tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium(III) ($Ir(ppy)_3$)를 도핑하였다. 제작된 유기발광소자는 전류 증가에 따른 삼중항 엑시톤 충돌로 인한 발광 효율 감소를 억제하기 위하여 인광 도펀트인 $Ir(ppy)_3$와 같은 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital 준위를 가지는 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline 전자 수송층을 사용하였다. 전기적 및 광학적 특성 분석 결과 제작된 유기발광소자에서 삼중항 엑시톤 소멸을 최소화하여 발광 효율이 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 $Ir(ppy)_3$을 도핑한 녹색 인광 유기발광소자의 삼중항 엑시톤 충돌을 억제하여 유기발광소자의 발광 효율을 증진하는 메커니즘을 이해하는데 중요하다.

Path-finding on a grid map is a problem generally addressed in the fields of robotics, intelligent agents, and computer games. As technology advances, virtual game worlds tend to be represented more accurately and more realistically, resulting in an excessive increase in the number of grid tiles and in path-search time. In this study, we propose a path-finding algorithm that allows a prompt response to real-time queries by constructing a reduced state space and by precomputing all possible paths in an offline preprocessing stage. In the preprocessing stage, we vertically decompose free space on the grid map, construct a connectivity graph where nodes are the decomposed regions, and store paths between all pairs of nodes in matrix form. In the real-time query stage, we first find the nodes containing the query points and then retrieve the corresponding stored path. The proposed method is simulated for a set of maps that has been used as a benchmark for grid-based path finding. The simulation results show that the state space and the search time decrease significantly.

Ion exchange metal composite(IPMC) has toughness equivalent to the range of human's muscle, transformation-actuation force by relatively low voltage and the fast response time. Thus, as a new method for preparing thicker IPMC, the solution casting method to make the films of various thicknesses out of liquid nation was attempted in this study. To reduce the surface resistance of electrode, the first plated electrode prepared by Oguro method was replated with Au and Ir using ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD). The microstructures of electrode surfaces before and after IBAD plating were investigated using SEM. The change of water and ion-conductivity in IPMC were measured under applied voltage. The displacement and driving force of IPMCs with various thicknesses were measured to evaluate the driving properties.

An efficient fast response hysteretic buck converter suitable for mobile application is propoesed. The problems of large output ripple and difficulty in using of small power inductor that conventional hysteretic converter has are improved by adding ramp generator. and the changeable switching frequency with load current is fixed by adding a delay time control circuit composed of PLL structure resulting in decrease of EMI noise. The circuits are implemented by using BCDMOS 0.35um 2-polt 4-metal process. Measurement results show that the converter operates with a switching frequency of 1.85MHz when drives 80mA load current. As the converter drives over 170mA load current, the switching frequency is fixed on 2MHz. The converter has output ripple voltage of less 20mV and more than efficiency 85% with 50~500mA laod current condition.

The spiropyran is a typical material having photodegradation properties in the process of photochromism. The spiropyran has been utilized in various applications such as optical switch, optical memories, and biosensor because of its remarkable stability, fast responsive time, stronger color change, and photo-induced controllability. However, the spriropyran is photodegraded by the repetitive optical irradiation. The photodegradation of spiropyran have been investigated by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. Herein, the properties of spiropyran were characterized by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the terahertz frequency region. In terahertz region, the measured absorbance of spiropyran was increased due to the photodegradation induced by the repetitive UV irradiation. The absorbance tendency of spiropyran in the terahertz frequency region was compared with that in the visible region, and they were completely opposite to each other.

Due to rapid advance of wireless communication technology, demand on data services in mobile environment is gradually increasing. Caching at a mobile client could reduce bandwidth consumption and query response time, and yet a mobile client must maintain cache consistency. It could be efficient for the server to broadcast a periodic cache invalidation report for cache consistency in a cell. In case that long period of disconnection prevents a mobile client from checking validity of its cache based solely on the invalidation report received, the mobile client could request the server to check cache validity. In doing so, some schemes may be more efficient than others depending on the number of available channels and the mobile clients involved. In this paper, we propose new cache consistency schemes, effects, efficient especially (1) when channel capacity is enough to deal with the mobile clients involved or (2) when that is not the case, and evaluate their performance.

To fulfill the complex user requirement, composition web service comprised of existing services is considered from the efficient and reusable point of view instead of making entirely new web service. However, with the growing the number of web services which provide the same functionality but differ in quality value, the service composition becomes a decision problem on which component services should be selected such that end-to-end QoS constraints by the client and overall QoS of the composition service are satisfied. QoS of service aspects is a determinant factor for selecting the services, since the performance of the composed service is determined by the performance of the involved component web service. In this paper, hybrid genetic algorithm is presented to select component services to take part in the QoS-aware composition. The local search method is used to be combined with the genetic algorithm to improve the individuals (component service) in population as well as composed service. The paper also presents a set of experiments conducted to evaluate the efficiency of selection algorithm using the real web service data.

Today, most of all the query processors in the world generally use the 'Pipelining' method to acquire fast response time (first record latency) and less memory usage. Each of the operator nodes in the Query Execution Plan (QEP) provides Open(), Next(), and Close() functions for their interface to facilitate the iterator mechanism. However, the embedded database systems for the mobile devices, based on the FLASH memory, usually require a function like Previous(), which returns the previous records from current position. It is because that, in the embedded environment, the mobile devices cannot fully provide it main memory to store all the query results. So, whenever needed the previously read records the user (program) should re-fetch the previous records using the Previous() function: the BACKWARD data fetch. In this paper, I introduce the 'Direction Switching Problem' caused by the Previous() function and suggest 'Block-wise Skipping' method to fully utilize the benefits of the block-based data transfer mechanism, which is widely accepted by most of the today's relational database management systems.
