Recent rapid advances in computer hardware performance have led to relatively low computational costs, increasing the number of applications of machine-learning techniques to geophysical problems. In particular, deep-learning techniques are gaining in popularity as the number of cases successfully solving complex and nonlinear problems has gradually increased. In this paper, applications of seismic data denoising methods using deep-learning techniques are introduced and investigated. Depending on the type of attenuated noise, these studies are grouped into denoising applications of coherent noise, random noise, and the combination of these two types of noise. Then, we investigate the deep-learning techniques used to remove the corresponding noise. Unlike conventional methods used to attenuate seismic noise, deep neural networks, a typical deep-learning technique, learn the characteristics of the noise independently and then automatically optimize the parameters. Therefore, such methods are less sensitive to generalized problems than conventional methods and can reduce labor costs. Several studies have also demonstrated that deep-learning techniques perform well in terms of computational cost and denoising performance. Based on the results of the applications covered in this paper, the pros and cons of the deep-learning techniques used to remove seismic noise are analyzed and discussed.

In this study, the parameter-elevation regressions on independent slopes model-Kongju National University(PRISM-KNU) system was developed to interpolate monthly precipitation data. One of the features of PRISM-KNU is that it can adjust the allowable range of slope according to the elevation range in the equation representing a linear relationship between the precipitation and elevation. The parameter value of the model was determined by using the optimization technique, and the result was applied to produce monthly precipitation data with a spatial resolution of $1{\times}1km$ from 2000 to 2014 in South Korea. In the result, the Kling-Gupta Efficiency for model evaluation was over 0.7 in 86% of the total cases simulated. In addition, a dramatic change in the spatial pattern of precipitation data was observed in the output of the Modified Korean PRISM, but such a phenomenon did not occur in the output of the PRISM-KNU. This study confirmed the appropriateness of the PRISM-KNU, and the result showed that the spatial consistency of the data produced by the model improved compared with that produced by the Modified Korean PRISM. It is expected that the PRISM-KNU and its output will be utilized in various studies in the future.

In this paper, it is studied on wide radiating slot antenna's miniaturization for ultra wide-band(UWB) technologies and notch structure to prevent interference between UWB systems and existing wireless systems for using Wi-Fi service of IEEE standards 802.11 a/n. Proposed antenna that wide slot is decreased from $\lambda/2$ to $\lambda/4$ length of resonant frequency has decreased by 72 % compared with conventional antenna. And optimized T-shaped CPW-fed stub has satisfied UWB bandwidth for 3.0~11.8 GHz. Then, creating 2-order Hilbert curve slot line in the stub's patch area, 4.9~5.6 GHz that centered frequency is 5 GHz is eliminated. Finally, the designed antenna constructed on FR4-epoxy has $20{\times}15\;mm^2$ dimension. The measured results that are obtained return loss under -10 dB through 3.2~11.8 GHz without Wi-Fi bandwidth, a linear phase characteristic, a stable group delay, and omnidirectional radiation patterns are presented.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a high-speed semiconductor sensor for use in power control devices and analyzed the characteristics with pulsed radiation tests. At first, radiation sensitive circular Si PIN diodes with various diameters(0.1 mm ~5.0 mm) were designed and fabricated using Si epitaxial wafer, which has a $42{\mu}m$ thick intrinsic layer. The reverse leakage current of the diode with a radius of 2 mm at a reverse bias of 30 V was about 20.4 nA. To investigate the characteristic responses of the developed diodes, the pulsed gamma-radiation tests were performed with the intensity of 4.88E8 rad(Si)/sec. From the test results showing that the output currents and the rising speeds have a linear relationship with the area of the sensors, we decided that the optimal condition took place at a 2 mm diameter. Next, for the selected 2 mm diodes, dose rate tests with a range of 2.47E8 rad(Si)/sec to 6.21E8 rad(Si)/sec were performed. From the results, which showed linear characteristics with the radiation intensity, a large amount of photocurrent over 60mA, and a high speed response under 350ns without saturation, we can conclude that the our developed PIN diode can be a good candidate for the sensor of power control devices.

Optimal static load balancing in star network configurations is considered. Three kinds of load balancing direction strategies are considered. First, a job arriving at the peripheral nodes may be processed either where it arrived(origin node) or transferred directly to central node Second, a job arriving at the central node may be processed there, or transferred to lightly loaded peripheral nodes. A nonlinear optimization problem is formulated. Using the optimal solution, an optimal load balancing algorithm is derived for the second load balancing strategy. Third a job arriving at the central node or a peripheral node may be processed either at origin node or transferred to another lightly loaded node (central or peripheral). A load balancing algorithm is derived for the third load balancing strategy. The effects of these three load balancing strategies are compared by numerical experiments. During the conduct of these in numerical experiments, several interesting phenomena were observed. The third load balancing strategy improved performance more than the first two other strategies. The second load balancing strategy, as a whole, resulted in only slightly improved performance. Finally, of the central node has larger processing power than the peripheral nodes, the first and third load balancing strategies produce equal performance improvement.

Using the level set and the meshfree methods, we develop a topological shape optimization method applied to linear elasticity problems. Design gradients are computed using an efficient adjoint design sensitivity analysis(DSA) method. The boundaries are represented by an implicit moving boundary(IMB) embedded in the level set function obtainable from the "Hamilton-Jacobi type" equation with the "Up-wind scheme". Then, using the implicit function, explicit boundaries are generated to obtain the response and sensitivity of the structures. Global nodal shape function derived on a basis of the reproducing kernel(RK) method is employed to discretize the displacement field in the governing continuum equation. Thus, the material points can be located everywhere in the continuum domain, which enables to generate the explicit boundaries and leads to a precise design result. The developed method defines a Lagrangian functional for the constrained optimization. It minimizes the compliance, satisfying the constraint of allowable volume through the variations of boundary. During the optimization, the velocity to integrate the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is obtained from the optimality condition for the Lagrangian functional. Compared with the conventional shape optimization method, the developed one can easily represent the topological shape variations.

CdTe는 일반적으로 광전 소자나 Xtjs 및 λ선 감지 소자로서 많은 연구가 되어지고 있는 물질이다. 특히 적외선 감지 소자로 쓰이고 있는 HgCdTe 물질의 기판으로서도 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 여러 가지 목적으로 사용함에 있어서 CdTe 내에 가지고 있는 여러 가지 불순물에 의한 영향으로 각종 결함밴드들이 형성됨으로서 소자로서의 응용에 많은 지장을 주고 있다. 이러한 이유로 여러 가지 방법으로 불순물 및 결합에 의한 준위에 관한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 MBE 법으로 성장된 In 도핑된 CdTe 박막의 광학적 성질을 관찰하기 위하여 수소화 및 열처리를 하여 PL 법을 이용하여 관찰하여 보앗다. 열처리는 Cd 분위기의 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 수행하였으며 수소화는 rf plasma 장치를 이용하여 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 50mW/c2의 출력으로 1시간동안 수행하여 주었다. 열처리한 시료의 경우 PL 신호는 갓 성장한 시료와 비교하여 깊은 준위에 관련된 신호들만 변화가 있었을뿐 그리 큰 변화가 있지는 않았다. 그러나 수소화시킨 시료의 경우 전체적으로 피크의 크기가 5배정도 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었는데 이것은 수소에 의하여 passivation된 효과로 볼 수 있다. 정량적인 passivation 효과를 보기 위하여 온도의존성 PL 측정을 하여 보았다. 측정에서 관측된 (D,h) emission lines의 FWHM을 비교하여 본 결과 FWHM 온도가 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 것이 아니라 급격한 증가를 q이는 구간을 관착할 수 있었다. 이것은 CdTe내에 존재하는 전하를 띠고 있는 주게와 받게의 결합의 결과로 나타나는 현상으로 보여진다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 얕은 준위에 있는 주게 불순물의 농도를 계산해 보았고 Hall 측정을 얻은 결과와 비교하여 보았다.판단된다. 따라서 이 기술은 기존의 광소자 제작을 위한 IFVD 방법의 문제점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라 결정 재성장 없이 도일한 기판상에 국부적으로 상이한 bandgap 영역을 만들 수 있기 때문에 광소자 제작에 적극 이용될 수 있다.나지 않았으며 BST 박막에서는 약 1.2V의 C-V이력현상이 보였다.를 이용하였으며, 이온주입후 열처리 온도에 따른 활성화 정도의 관찰을 위하여 4-point probe와 Hall measurement를 이용하였다. 증착된 다결정 SiGe의 두게를 nanospec과 SEM으로 분석한 결과 Gem이 함량이 적을 때는 높은 온도에서의 증착이 더 빠른 증착속도를 나타내었지만, Ge의 함량이 30% 되었을 때는 온도에 관계없이 일정한 것으로 나타났다. XRD 분석을 한 결과 Peak의 위치가 순수한 Si과 순수한 Ge 사이에 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, ge 함량이 많아짐에 따라 순수한 Ge쪽으로 옮겨가는 경향을 보였다.

Generally, river discharge is measured at flood forecasting points, upstream dam points, large rivers, and important points over a basin, and it is hard to estimate discharge of medium or small stream and small catchment. Physically based rainfall-runoff model with geographical parameters can simulate discharge at all the points within a basin with optimized parameters for a point in the basin. In this study, GRM (Grid based Rainfall-runoff Model) calibrated at the outlet is applied. The discharge at upstream point is estimated and the possibility of model regionalisation is examined for ungauged catchment of small or medium stream within a river system. Wicheon and Boksu watershed in Nakdonggang (Riv.) and Yudeungcheon (Riv.) respectively are selected. The discharge at Miseong and Sindae station is simulated with the parameters estimated at Museong and Boksu station. The results of Miseong and Sindae station show good agreement with observed hydrographs in peak discharge and peak time and consistently linear relationships with high correlations in discharge volume, peak discharge, and peak time. And it shows GRM could be applied to estimate discharge at ungauged catchments along a river system.

This paper suggests a method to effectively apply an application model of fuzzy-neural network to the optimal load distribution algorithm, considering the complication and non-linearity of the web server environment. We use the clustering web server in the linux system and it consists of a load balancer that distributes the network loads and some of real servers that processes the load and responses to the client. The previous works considered only with the scrappy decision information such as the connections. That is, since the distribution algorithm depends on the input of the whole network throughput, it was proved inefficient in terms of performance improvement of the web server. With the proposed algorithm, it monitors the whole states of both network input and output. Then, it infers CPU and memory states of each real server and effectively distributes the requests of the clients. In this paper, the proposed model is compared with the previous method through simulations and we analysis the results to develop the optimal and intelligent load balancing model.

It is important to keep stable effluent water quality and minimize operation cost in biological wastewater treatment plant. However, the optimal operation is difficult because of the change of influent flow rate and concentrations, the nonlinear dynamics of microbiology growth rate and other environmental factors. Therefore, many wastewater treatment plants are operated for much more redundant oxygen or chemical dosing than the necessary. In this study, the optimal control scheme for dissolved oxygen (DO) is suggested to prevent over-aeration and the reduction of the electric cost in plant operation while maintaining the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration for the metabolism of microorganisms in oxic reactor. For optimal control, The oxygen uptake rate (OUR) is realtime measured for the identification of influent characterization and the identification of microorganisms' oxygen requirement in oxic reactor. Optimal DO seT-Point needed for the microorganism is suggested based on real time measurement of oxygen uptake of microorganism and the control of air blower. Therefore, both stable effluent quality and minimization of electric cost are satisfied with a suggested optimal setpoint decision system by providing the necessary oxygen supply requirement to the microorganisms coping with the variations of influent loading.
