This empirical study researched the three major phenomena of differentiation of housing market under the large scale of new town construction in the metropolitan area, the spatial differentiation pattern of housing market due to the urban growth, and the relationship with the distribution of housing submarket and suburbanization. Yongin City, one of the most active growth cities among the metropolitan areas, is optimal place to investigate the spatial differentiation pattern of the housing submarket on the microscopic scale. Furthermore, Yongin City has not only the geographical benefit but also the strong influences from institutional, social, and environmental changes. This city is divided into four housing submarkets, where to Gangnam and Boondang, Gyeongbu and Youngdong expressway has significant effects. In addition, the housing tenure and size, household structure, educational background and income levels and so on also resulted in the differentiation of the housing submarket.

기존 연구에서는 단일 타겟으로부터 증착된 코팅층 내에 다상으로 이루어진 나노 복합구조를 형성하기 위하여, 나노 합금분말을 방전플라즈마 소결법 등으로 급속 소결하여 타겟을 제조하는 방법이 고려되어 왔다. 반면, 비정질 재료가 우수한 비정질 형성능을 가지는 경우 주조 방법에 의해서도 타겟 제조가 가능하며, 특히 최근 들어 금속 비정질 합금에서 합금의 주요 구성 원소들이 양의 혼합열을 가지는 경우, 액상 또는 과냉각 액상에서 상분리 현상이 발생한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 사실에 기초하면, 우수한 비정질 형성능을 가지는 합금 시스템에 합금 구성 원소와 양의 혼합열 관계를 갖는 원소를 첨가함으로써, 비정질 기지 내에 화학적 불균일성을 유도하여 다상으로 이루어진 복합 구조를 형성시키는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 합금 설계법을 이용하여, 비정질 기지 내에 존재할 수 있는 불균일성 정도를 합금 조성과 주조 조건의 변화를 통하여 나노 크기에서 원자 크기까지 조절하고, 이에 따른 재료 특성과의 상관관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 우수한 비정질 형성능을 가지는 Cu-(Zr, Hf)-Al 벌크 비정질 합금계에서 (Zr, Hf)과 (Y, Gd)간의 양의 혼합열 관계에 주목하여 Cu-(Zr, Hf)-(Y, Gd)-Al 벌크 비정질 형성 합금계를 설계하였으며, 이 합금계 내에서 조성과 냉각속도의 조절에 따라 나타나는 불균일성의 정도와 특성변화의 영향을 체계적으로 고찰하였다. 결과로서, Cu-(Zr, Hf)-Al 합금계에서 (Zr, Hf)을 (Y, Gd)으로 15 at.% 이상 치환한 경우, Cu-(Zr, Hf)-rich 와 Cu-(Y, Gd)-rich 비정질상으로 이상분리가 일어났으며, 이렇게 생성된 비정질-비정질 복합재는 응력 하에서 소성 변형을 거의 보이지 않았다. 반면, 5 at.% 이하로 (Zr, Hf)을 (Y, Gd)으로 치환한 경우에는 비정질 기지에 SAXS 혹은 WAXS로 확인 가능한 원자 크기의 불균일성이 나타났으며, 이 경우 비정질 합금의 점성 유동의 변화를 통해 합금의 연신 특성이 향상되었다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 비정질 기지내 불균일 제어를 통한 기계적 특성 향상을 위해서 조성 제어뿐 아니라 동역학적인 요소를 고려한 냉각속도 조절을 통한 원자단위 불균일성의 최적화가 필요함을 규명하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 분말화 및 소결 과정을 배제하고 제조된 단일 타겟을 통해 코팅층에 다수의 합금원소를 혼합하고 나노/원자 스케일의 복합구조 형성 및 고집적화가 가능한, 타겟 모물질 설계의 새로운 방향을 제시함으로써 다기능성 복합소재 코팅층의 연구에 크게 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

We have recently proposed the new concept of a phase-measuring volumetric interferometer that enables us to accurately measure the xyz-coordinates of the probe without metrology frames. The interferometer is composed of a movable target and a fixed photo-detector array. The target is made of point diffraction sources to emit two spherical wavefronts, whose interference is monitored by an array of photo-detectors. Phase shifting is applied to obtain the precise phase values of the photo-detectors. Then the measured phases are fitted to a geometric model of multilateration so as to determine the xyz-location of the target by minimizing least square errors. The proposed interferometer has been designed and built with a volumetric uncertainty of less than 1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ within a cubic working volume of side 120 mm. Here, in this paper, we also present error sources, an evaluated uncertainty, and test results from the prototype system. The self-calibration of two-dimensional precision metrology stages is applied to test the performance of the interferometer.

The Preparation and electrochemical characterization of anion-exchange membranes containing pyridinium groups were performed. As a result, the pyridinium membranes showed good electrochemical properties, comparable to those of the commercial membranes, with electrical resistance of less than $3.0 {\Xi}cm^2$ in a 0.5 mol $dm^{-3}$ NaCl and high ionic permselectivity (the transport number of $Cl^-$ ions being 0.97). Moreover, water splitting in the membranes containing pyridinium group was about two or three order of magnitude lower than those in the commercial membranes (ｅ.ｇ. AM-1, Tokuyama Crop., Japan) at the same current density because the resonance effedt in the quaternary aromatic pyridinium group contributed to their molecular stability. In addition, the electrodialytic properties of the pyridinium membranes were evaluated in a semi-pilot scale.

Load balancing attempts to improve the performance of a distributed computing system by transferring some of the workload of a congested site to others. A load balancing scheme that supports both the source-initiated and the server- initiated load balancing is proposed in this paper. It can model both the m/m/1 queue(no load balancing) and the m/m/n queue(perfect load balancing) as the extreme State variables are replicated into every site, and copy consistency constraints are relaxed more weakly. We propose weak copy consistency constraints which correlate the outdated state information to that of the current state. We also derive sufficient conditions under which each scheduler can guarantee the load balancing without communication Using this model, the problem of load balancing is converted to that of maintaining the consistency of states and communication overhead becomes less than that of the bidding algorithm. The scheme is simulated by event tracing, compared to the two extreme cases and the bidding algorithm. The results show that the mean response time and the number of messages are reduced by 0-35% and 40-100% respectively, compared with the bidding algorithm. Finally the effects of some system parameters are described.

Most CFD codes, that mainly adopt the heat partitioning model as the wall boiling model, have shown low accuracies in predicting the two-phase flow parameters of subcooled boiling phenomena under low pressure conditions. In this study, a number of subcooled boiling experiments in vertical channels were analyzed using a thermal-hydraulic component code, CUPID. The prediction of the void fraction distribution using the CUPID code agreed well with experimental data at high-pressure conditions; whereas at low-pressure conditions, the predicted void fraction deviated considerably from measured ones. Sensitivity tests were performed on the submodels for major parameters in the heat partitioning model to find the optimized sets of empirical correlations suitable for low-pressure subcooled flow boiling. The effect of the K-factor on the void fraction distribution was also evaluated.

We show improved throughput scaling laws for an ultra-wide band (UWB) ad hoc network, in which n wireless nodes are randomly located. First, we consider the case where a modified hierarchical cooperation (HC) strategy is used. Then, in a dense network of unit area, our result indicates that the derived throughput scaling depends on the path-loss exponent ${\alpha}$ for certain operating regimes due to the power-limited characteristics. It also turns out that the HC protocol is dominant for 2 < ${\alpha}$ < 3 while using the nearest multihop (MH) routing leads to a higher throughput for ${\alpha}{\geq}3$. Second, the impact and benefits of infrastructure support are analyzed, where m base stations (BSs) are regularly placed in UWB networks. In this case, the derived throughput scaling depends on ${\alpha}$ due to the power-limited characteristics for all operating regimes. Furthermore, it is shown that the total throughput scales linearly with parameter m as m is larger than a certain level. Hence, the use of either HC or infrastructure is helpful in improving the throughput of UWB networks in some conditions.

Now global climate change is changing environmental factors, such as temperature and precipitation, which have a great effect on crop yields. Accordingly, crop yield forecast is becoming more important to global food supplies and sustainable development of rural areas. Worldwide, many countries, such as USA, China, Canada, and institutions, such as FAO, USDA, NASA, maintain the cooperative relationship to operate the crop monitoring system at both the national and global scale. This paper aims to investigate the current developments of crop monitoring systems in terms of information level, remotely-sensed data, and biophysical parameters, and to propose the direction of the advanced corp monitoring system based on remote sensing.

We present a method to quantitatively measure the thermal conductivity of one-dimensional nanostructures by utilizing scanning thermal wave microscopy (STWM) at a nanoscale spatial resolution. In this paper, we explain the principle for measuring the thermal diffusivity of one-dimensional nanostructures using STWM and the theoretical analysis procedure for quantifying the thermal diffusivity. The SWTM measurement method obtains the thermal conductivity by measuring the thermal diffusivity, which has only a phase lag relative to the distance corresponding to the transferred thermal wave. It is not affected by the thermal contact resistances between the heat source and nanostructure and between the nanostructure and probe. Thus, the heat flux applied to the nanostructure is accurately obtained. The proposed method provides a very simple and quantitative measurement relative to conventional measurement techniques.

We propose an acousto-optic technique for the nondestructive evaluation of adhesion properties of a Pt/Ti thin-film interface. Since there are some problems encountered when using prevailing techniques to nondestructively evaluate the interfacial properties of micro/nano-scale thin-films, we applied an interferometer that combined the acoustic and optical methods. This technique is based on the Michelson interferometer but the resultant surface of the thin film specimen makes interference instead of the mirror when the interface is excited from the acoustic transducer at the driving frequency. The thin film shows resonance-like behavior at a certain frequency range, resulting in a low-contrast fringe pattern. Therefore, we represented quantitatively the change in fringe pattern as a frequency spectrum and discovered the possibility that the interfacial adhesion properties of a thin film can be evaluated using the newly proposed technique.
