Silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) 구조를 가지는 플래쉬 메모리 소자는 기존의 플래쉬 메모리 소자에 비해 쓰고 지우는 속도가 빠르고, 데이터의 저장 기간이 길며, 쓰고 지우는 동작에 의한 전계 스트레스에 잘 견뎌내는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 SONOS 형태의 플래쉬 메모리 소자에 대한 전기적 특성에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나, SONOS 형태의 플래쉬 메모리에서 소자의 셀 사이즈가 감소함에 따라 발생하는 인접한 셀 간의 간섭 현상에 대한 연구는 상당히 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 SONOS 형태의 플래쉬 메모리에서 소자의 셀 사이즈가 작아짐에 따라 발생하는 인접한 셀 간의 간섭 현상에 대해 조사하였다. SONOS 형태의 플래쉬 메모리소자의 터널링 산화막, 질화막과 블로킹 산화막의 두께를 결정하였고, 각 셀의 크기가 감소함에 따라 발생하는 소자의 전기적 특성을 3차원 시뮬레이션 툴인 Sentaurus를 사용하여 계산하였다. 병렬 캐패시턴스에 의해 셀들 사이에 발생하는 커플링 효과를 확인하기 위해 선택한 셀의 문턱 전압이 주변 셀들의 프로그램 상태에 의해 받게되는 영향을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 셀 사이에 간섭 방지층을 삽입함으로 인접 셀 간 발생하는 간섭현상의 크기를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 확인하였다. 이때 간섭 방지층의 깊이에 따라 감소하는 문턱전압의 변화량을 계산하였고, 방지층을 충분히 깊게 제작함으로 셀 간 간섭 현상을 막을 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI)는 미국해양대기관리처 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA)에서 2016년에 개발한 가뭄지표로, 기존의 가뭄지표가 주로 강수량과 기온에 초점을 두고 가뭄을 판단하는 반면 토양의 수분 스트레스의 신호를 바탕으로 증발산수요의 상대적인 변화를 계산하여 가뭄지표에 대한 조기 경보를 제공한다. EDDI는 강수량을 이용한 기존의 가뭄지수와 달리 증발/산 요구량 (evaporative demand)에 초점을 맞춰 보다 짧은 시간의 척도와 공간 분포 및 시계열 결과의 도출로 잠재적 가뭄 예보에 활용할 수 있어 가뭄의 조기 경보 및 가뭄 모니터링 도구로 사용할 수 있다. 현재 NOAA에서는 EDDI Map Archive(https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/eddi/)를 활용하여 1980년부터 현재까지 1-week부터 12-months 시간척도의 미국 전역의 EDDI 지도를 제공하고 있으며, 짧은 기간의 급속하게 발생하는(rapid-onset) Flash drought의 조기경보지표로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 3년간 우리나라에 발생한 극심한 가뭄 사상을 대상으로 EDDI의 적용함으로서 시공간적 가뭄 특성을 파악하고자 한다.

Ubiquitous services are high duality and differentiated services which are provided for users by recognizing the context of users and environmental conditions actively. In this case, context-aware middleware is one of the most important technologies required to implement the ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose a method for providing ubiquitous services in a specific user space effectively and monitoring human bio-signal sensors. That is, the design and implementation of intelligent home service middleware and monitoring human bio-signal sensor based on context awareness is discussed here. Context information from various sensors is gathered, and suitable services are inferred and provided to users by the middleware system. In our approach, user services can be modelled easily by using facts and rules, and the system can be extended easily to support various ubiquitous services other than intelligent home services also. The system can be integrated with external applications and legacy systems effectively by using various protocols such as RMI, socket and HTTP, XML and Zigbee etc. We have designed and evaluated various facts and rules for intelligent home services in real environments. Functionality evaluation with the system shows that ubiquitous services can be provided to users effectively in a home environment.

Understanding charge transfer across the interface between organic semiconductor and gate insulator gives insight into the development of high-performance organic memory as well as highly stable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this work, we firstly unveil a novel interfacial charge transfer mechanism, in which hole transfer from organic semiconductor to polymer insulator was nonlinearly boosted by localized states coupling. For this, OFETs based on rubrene single crystal semiconductor and Mylar gate insulator were fabricated via vacuum lamination, which allows stable repetition of lamination and delamination between semiconductor and gate insulator. The surfaces of rubrene single crystal and Mylar film were selectively degraded by photo-induced oxygen diffusion and UV-ozone treatment, respectively. Consequently, we found that the interfacial charge transfer and resultant bias-stress effect were nonlinearly boosted by coupling between localized states in rubrene and Mylar. In particular, the small number of localized states in rubrene single crystal provided fluent pathway for interfacial charge transport.

The high-level nuclear waste repository is a deep geological disposal system exposed to complex environmental conditions such as high temperature, radiation, and ground-water due to handling spent nuclear fuel. Continuous exposure can lead to cracking and deterioration of the structure over time. On the other hand, the high-level nuclear waste repository requires an ultra-long life expectancy. Thus long-term structural health monitoring is essential. Various sensors such as an accelerometer, earth pressure gauge, and displacement meter can be used to monitor the health of a structure, and a piezoelectric sensor is generally used. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a highly durable sensor based on the durability assessment of the piezoelectric sensor. This study designed an accelerated life test for durability assessment and life prediction of the piezoelectric sensor. Based on the literature review, the number of accelerated stress levels for a single stress factor, and the number of samples for each level were selected. The failure mode and mechanism of the piezoelectric sensor that can occur in the environmental conditions of the high-level waste repository were analyzed. In addition, two methods were proposed to investigate the maximum harsh condition for the temperature stress factor. The reliable operating limit of the piezoelectric sensor was derived, and a reasonable accelerated stress level was set for the accelerated life test. The suggested methods contain economical and practical ideas and can be widely used in designing accelerated life tests of piezoelectric sensors.

The detection of crop stress is an important issue for the accurate assessment of yield decline. The photochemical reflectance index (PRI) was developed as a remotely sensed indicator of light use efficiency (LUE). The PRI has been tested in crop stress detection and a number of studies demonstrated the feasibility of using it. However, only few studies have focused on the use of PRI from remote sensing imagery. The monitoring of PRI using drone and satellite is made difficult by the low spectral resolution image captures. In order to estimate PRI from multispectral sensor, we propose a band fusion method using adjacent bands. The method is applied to the drone-based hyperspectral and multispectral imagery and estimated PRI explain 79% of the original PRI. And time series analyses showed that two PRI data (drone-based and SRS sensor) had very similar temporal variations. From these results, PRI from multispectral imagery using band fusion can be used as a new method for evaluation of crop stress.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis on the mental health and health-related quality of life of the community residents who have been affected by the Sewol ferry disaster and to provide a basis for future aids for potential human-caused catastrophe. The study utilized the big data, Korean community health survey data of 3,632 (1,803 in 2018 and 1,829 in 2014) residents in Ansan and Jindo, a victimized community of Sewol ferry disaster, and compared the subjective level of health, amount of appropriate sleep, subjective stress level, stress consulting, depression, depression consulting, and health-related quality of life before and after the disaster. According to the findings, community residents who have been affected by the Sewol ferry disaster did not show any significant difference in terms of subjective health level, amount of appropriate sleep, subjective stress, and health-related quality of life. The study aims to serve as a foundational data for developing a prevention program or policy that aims to support future potential disasters by comparing the mental health and health-related quality of life of the victimized community before and after the disaster. The study suggests that the need for continuous monitoring of mental health and health-related quality of life of the victimized residents is significant, and further studies should be implemented in order to provide better supports for the local community.

Mercury (Hg) poses a threat to marine ecosystem due to continuous inflow from various industries and bioaccumulation to higher trophic level via food web. Mercury can adversely affect growth, development, reproduction and metabolism to aquatic organisms. In the present study, acute toxicity and oxidative stress markers (total glutathione content, and activities of GST, GR and GPx) were investigated in brackish water flea Disphanosoma celebensis exposed to HgCl₂ for 24 h. As results, Hg showed negative effect in survival of D. celebensis. 24 h-LC₅₀ value was determined as 0.589 mg/l (95% C.I. 0.521~0.655 mg/l). After exposure to Hg (0.08 and 0.4 mg/l) for 24 h, total glutathione content was significantly decreased, whereas GST, GPx and GR activities were enhanced. These findings indicate that Hg induced oxidative stress in D. celebensis, and oxidative stress markers may be involved in cellular defense against Hg - mediated toxicity. This study provides a better understanding of molecular mode of action of Hg toxicity in this specie and potent of molecular markers for heavy metal monitoring in marine ecosystem.

In the ubiquitous health monitoring environments, it is quite important not only to evaluate the physiological health condition but also mental stress condition. In order to achieve this goal, a heart activity monitoring system utilizing a wearable bipolar electrode is devised and the heart rate variability(HRV) is extracted and interpreted in both frequency and time feature domains. Consequently, to evaluate the emotional stress condition of the subjects, a stress-induced experimental protocol was applied to healthy subjects and the time and frequency features of heart activity were analyzed in terms of the ratio of low frequency components v.s., high frequency components and the relevant the moving average distributions compromising the successive RR peaks intervals in the ambulatory ECG measurement system.
