Airborne or spaceborne remote sensing can increase the efficiency of seabed material surveys compared with field surveying using a vessel. For the same seabed material, the optical remote sensing image shows variation in the reflectance depending on the water depth, which is due to the absorption and scattering by the water column. This study suggests a correction procedure to use the hyperspectral image for seabed material analysis. The study is conducted in the coastal area from Sacheonjin Port to Gyungpo Beach in Gangwon-do. The hyperspectral image is acquired using the CASI-1500 sensor. The diffuse attenuation coefficient is estimated for each band through regression models between the water reflectance and depth. Then, the coefficient is applied to each band of the image. As a result, the completely corrected image can be interpreted for a deeper area, although the interpretable area is very shallow without water column correction. Additionally, the water column corrected image shows decreased variation of reflectance with various water depths.

Serological evaluation for the poultry is important for various reasons, such as designing and assessing the vaccination program and diagnosing diseases and for this reason, serologic tests for the layer flocks have been conducted on a regular basis. Moreover, the nationwide serological survey and analysis are essential to understand the epidemiological status of national poultry industry. In this sense, the study was conducted to evaluate the immune status of the layer flocks with the sera submitted to Avian Disease Laboratory, Chungbuk National University in 2009, and several important viral diseases were selected for evaluation including low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI), Newcastle disease (ND), infectious bronchitis (IB) and avian metapneumovirus (aMPV). For LPAI and ND, the age-related patterns of geometric mean titer (GMT) changes were similar but there were differences in the flock positive rate and the level of GMT due to the different vaccination policy. In the case of IB, the values of GMT showed that the field infection was more prevalent than expected. For aMPV, positive birds in a flock increased as the layers got older, which reflected the course of field infection because vaccination against aMPV was not allowed in 2009. From this study, the immune status for the main viral diseases in layers became more clarified but this information was limited because of only one year study. Therefore, serological survey needs to be conducted on a yearly basis and furthermore include broilers and breeders for a better understanding of the health status in the national poultry industry.

This study investigated correlations between egg quality indicators to identify external egg quality traits to predict internal egg quality using non-destructive and convenient measurements. Thirteen indicators, including Haugh unit, albumen height, eggshell breaking strength, eggshell thickness, eggshell color (CIE L^*, CIE a^*, CIE b^*), and reflectivity value, egg weight, egg length, egg width, shape index, and yolk color, were investigated. A total of 180 brown eggs were obtained from one 27-week-old flock of Hy-line brown-laying hens raised in a cage system. Correlations were evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). The results showed strong correlations between Haugh unit and albumen height, eggshell color CIE L^* and reflectivity, egg weight and width, egg weight and length, eggshell color CIE L^* and CIE a^*, eggshell color CIE a^* and reflectivity, and shape index and egg length (P<0.001). Moderate correlations were observed between eggshell breaking strength and eggshell thickness, eggshell color CIE a^* and CIE b^*, and shape index and egg width (P<0.001). Eggshell color CIE L^* was correlated with eggshell breaking strength (P<0.01), and eggshell color CIE a^* was correlated with Haugh unit, albumen height (P<0.01), and eggshell breaking strength (P<0.001). The present study showed significant correlations between eggshell color and other quality indicators. Thus, this study suggests that eggshell colors based on reflectiveness and the CIE L^*a^*b^* value can be used to estimate the Haugh unit, albumen height, eggshell breaking strength, and thickness.

As the correct measuring of the light dosimetry in biological tissues give the important affection to the effect of PDT treatment we used Monte Carlo simulation to measure the light dosimetry on this study. The parameters using in experiments are the optical properties of the real biological tissue, and we used Henyey-Greenstein phase function among the phase functions. As we results, we displayed the result the change of Fluence rate and the difference against the previous theory was at least 0.35%. Biological tissues using in experiment were Human tissue, pig tissue, rat liver tissue and rabbit muscle tissue. The most of biological tissue have big scattering coefficient in visible wavelength which influences penetration depth. The penetration depth of human tissue in visible region is 1.5~2cm. We showed that it is possible to measure fluence rate and penetration depth within the biological tissues by Monte Carlo simulation very well.

The characteristics of 23 MV photon beam have been presented with respect to clinical parameters of central axis depth dose, tissue-maxi mum ratios, scatter-maximum ratios, surface dose and scatter correction factors. The nominal accelerating potential was found to be $18.5\pm0.5$ MV on the central axis. The half-value layer (HVL) of this photon beam was measured with narrow beam geometry from central axis, and it has been showed the thickness of $24.5\;g/cm^2$. The tissue-maximum ratio values have been determined from measured percentage depth dose data. In our experimental dosimetry, the surface dose of maximum showed only $9.6\%$ of maximum dose at $10\times10\;cm^2$, 100 cm SSD, without blocking tray in. The TMR'S of $0\times0$ field size have been determined to get average $2.3\%$ uncertainties from three different methodis; are zero effective attenuation coefficient, non-ilnear least square fit of TMR's data and effective linear attenuation coefficient from the HVL of 23 MV photon beams of dual energy linear accelerator.

Temperature-related parameters of Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acarina: Tetranychidae) development were estimated and a stage-structured matrix model was developed. The lower threshold temperatures were estimated as $8.4^{\circ}C$ for eggs, $9.9^{\circ}C$ for larvae, $9.2^{\circ}C$ for protonymphs, and $10.9^{\circ}C$ for deutonymphs. Thermal constants were 113.6, 29.1, 29.8, and 33.4 degree days for eggs, larvae, protonymphs, and deutonymphs, respectively. Non-linear development models were established for each stage of P. citri. In addition, temperature-dependent total fecundity, age-specific oviposition rate, and age-specific survival rate models were developed for the construction of an oviposition model. P. citri age was categorized into five stages to construct a matrix model: eggs, larvae, protonymphs, deutonymphs and adults. For the elements in the projection matrix, transition probabilities from an age class to the next age class or the probabilities of remaining in an age class were obtained from development rate function of each stage (age classes). Also, the fecundity coefficients of adult population were expressed as the products of adult longevity completion rate (1/longevity) by temperature-dependent total fecundity. To evaluate the predictability of the matrix model, model outputs were compared with actual field data in a cool early season and hot mid to late season in 2004. The model outputs closely matched the actual field patterns within 30 d after the model was run in both the early and mid to late seasons. Therefore, the developed matrix model can be used to estimate the population density of P. citri for a period of 30 d in citrus orchards.

일반적으로 박막 태양전지의 효율은 박막 종류에 따른 광 흡수율에 의해 결정되며, 이는 증착한 박막의 두께에 의해 결정된다. 증착한 박막의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 광 흡수율은 증가하지만, 박막 두께가 지나치게 두꺼워지면 열화 현상으로 인한 모듈의 효율 감소가 생기므로 적절한 박막의 두께가 요구된다. 특히 a-Si:H의 경우 가시광 영역에서 높은 흡수계수를 가지고 있어서 얇은 박막 두께로도 태양전지의 제작이 가능하지만, 동일한 박막 두께에서 효율을 더욱 향상시키기 위한 다양한 광 포획 기술에 대한 연구가 많이 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자외선을 이용한 nano-imprint lithography 기술을 이용하여 a-Si:H 태양전지의 유리기판 위에 pattern을 삽입하여 광 산란 효과를 향상 시키고자 하였다. 또한 유리기판의 굴절률 (n=1.5)과 투명전극의 굴절률 (n=1.9)의 중간 값을 갖는 ZnO nanoparticles (n=1.7)이 분산 된 imprinting resin을 사용함으로써 점진적으로 굴절률을 변화시켜, 최종적으로 a-Si:H 층까지의 광 투과율을 높이고자 하였다. 제작한 기판의 종류는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째 기판으로는 유리기판 위에 ZnO nanoparticles이 분산 된 imprinting resin을 spin-coating 하여 점진적인 굴절률의 변화에 의한 투과도 향상을 확인하고자 하였다. 두 번째 기판으로는 규칙적인 배열을 갖는 micro 크기의 패턴을 형성하였다. 마지막으로는 불규칙한 배열을 갖는 nano 크기와 micro 크기가 혼재 된 패턴을 형성하여 투과도 향상과 동시에 빛의 산란을 증가시키고자 하였다. 후에 이 세가지 종류를 기판으로 사용하여 a-Si:H 기반의 박막 태양전지를 제작하였다. 먼저 제작한 박막 태양전지용 기판의 광학적 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 유리 기판 위에 형성한 패턴에 의한 roughness 변화를 확인하기 위해 atomic force microscopy (AFM)를 이용하여 시편의 표면을 측정하였다. 또한 제작한 유리 기판 위에 투명 전극층을 형성 후, 이로 인한 전기적 특성의 변화를 확인하기 위해 hall measurement system을 이용하여 sheet resistance, carrier mobility, carrier concentration 등의 특성을 측정하였다. 또한, UV-visible photospectrometer 장비를 이용하여 각 공정마다 시편의 광학적 특성(투과도, 반사도, 산란도, 흡수도 등)을 측정하였고, 최종적으로 제작한 박막 태양전지의 I-V 특성과 외부양자효율을 측정하여 태양전지의 효율 변화를 확인하였다. 그 결과 일반적인 유리에 기판에 제작된 a-Si:H 기반의 박막 태양전지에 비해, ZnO nanoparticles이 분산 된 imprinting resin을 spin-coating 하여 점진적인 굴절률 변화를 준 것만으로도 약 12%의 태양전지 효율이 증가하였다. 또한, micro 크기의 패턴과 nano-micro 크기가 혼재된 패턴을 형성한 경우 일반적인 유리를 사용한 경우에 비해 각각 27%, 36%까지 효율이 증가함을 확인하였다.

증착(Vapor Deposition)이란 어떤 물질을 증기화 시켜 기판에 응축시키는 공정을 말하며 물리증착(Physical Vapor Deposition; PVD)과 화학증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition)으로 대별된다. 빗각 증착 (Oblique Angle Deposition; OAD) 기술은 입사 증기가 기판에 비스듬히 입사하도록 조절하여 코팅하는 물리증착 기술의 하나로 피막의 조직을 다양하게 제어할 수 있으며 따라서 피막의 특성 제어가 가능한 기술이다. 지금까지 빗각증착은 증기의 산란이 발생하지 않는 $10^{-5}$ 토르 이하의 고진공에서 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마를 이용한 스퍼터링과 음극 아크 증착을 이용하여 질화티타늄(TiN; Titanium Nitride) 박막을 제조하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. TiN 박막은 내마모성 향상 및 장식용 코팅에 널리 이용되고 있다. 박막 제조시 특히 바이어스 전압을 박막 조직의 기울기를 제어하는 수단으로 이용하였고 빗각과 바이어스 전압을 이용하여 다층박막의 조직제어에 활용하였다. 박막의 미세구조와 방위, 경도를 SEM, XRD, Nano Indenter를 이용하여 측정하였고 반사율 및 박막의 조도는 Spectrophotometer와 조도 측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 기울어진 조직 및 V형태의 조직이 단층 및 다층의 피막에서 명확하게 관찰됨을 확인하였고 특히 마지막 층 제조시 바이어스 전압을 인가할 경우 탄성계수는 크게 변하지 않는 상황에서 경도가 증가함을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Bacillus subtilis on the egg qualify, blood characteristics and fecal $NH_3-N$ in laying hens. A total of two hundred fifty two laying hens were randomly allocated into three treatments with seven replications for six weeks. Dietary treatments included 1) CON (control; basal diet), 2) BS0.2(control + $0.2\%$ Bacillus subtilis) and 3) BS0.4 (control +$0.4\%$ Bacillus subtilis). For overall Period, hen-day egg production tended to increase by the Bacillus subtilis $0.4\%$ in the diets, but was no significant difference. Egg weight, egg shell breaking strength, egg shell thickness, Haugh Unit, yolk color unit and egg yolk index were not affected by treatments. Difference of egg weight and egg shell breaking strength in the BS0.2 treatment tended to increase without significant difference. Difference of egg yolk index in laying hens fed Bacillus subtilis was increased (P<0.05). The concentrations of red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) were not significant difference. $NH_3-N$ concentration in feces with BS0.4 treatment was significantly (P<0.05) lower than control. In conclusion, dietary Bacillus subtilis could decrease fecal $NH_3-N$.
