Little is known about foraging and roosting habitat of tree-roosting bats in Korea. In the present study, we studied on characteristics of foraging and roosting habitats by Ikonnikov's whiskered bats (Myotis ikonnikovi) in the South Korea, using trapping and radiotelemetry. We captured the bats at 15 sites during nights (foraging times) using mist-nets. Based on characteristic analyses of forests within a radius 500 m from each capture site, forests of M. ikonnikovi habitat are similar characteristics to the old-growth forests. They foraged at forests dominated by boradleaf stands which are older than than 30-year-old and thicker than 20 cm in diameter at breast height (DBH). We used radio-transmitters to locate and characterize day-roosts of Myotis ikonnikovi, and totally the roost use patterns of three bats were surveyed. They roosted in trees (both live and dead) with exfoliating bark, extensive vertical cracks, or cavities, and thier roosting sites were located about 500 m from the initial capture location. The bats had a number of roost in a short-distance, some used new roost every day and the same roost sometimes were used repeatedly. To increase the diversity of the tree-dwelling bats including Myotis ikonnikovi, management practices that the higher food and roost availablility can be sustained in forests are needed.

양자점(Quantum dot : QD)를 이용한 소자를 만들기 위해서는 수직방향으로의 적층이 필수적이다. 양자점의 적층은 수직적으로 같은 위치에 정렬하므로, 고려되어야 할 요소로는 양자점간의 파동함수의 중첩(coupling)에 의한 특성변화, 적층의 진행에 따른 변형(strain)의 증가로 기인되는 volcano 모양으로 나타나는 결함등이 있다. 이러한 결함은 nonradiative recombination center로 작용하여 오히려 효율이 떨어지게 되는 현상이 발생하게 되므로 본 연구에서는 적층횟수에 따른 발광효율의 변화를 조사하여 소자응용에 적절한 적층 조건을 조사하였다. 시료성장은 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) 장치를 이용하여 GAs(100) 기판위에 GaAs buffer를 58$0^{\circ}C$에서 150nm 성장후 InAs/GaAs 양자점과 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 적층회수 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 20회로 하였으며 적층성장 이후 GaAs cap layer를 성장하였다. GaAs spacing과 cap layer의 성장온도 역시 50$0^{\circ}C$이며 시료의 분석은 photoluminescence (PL)과 scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM)으로 하였다. 적층횟수를 바꾸어 시료를 성장하기 전에 적층횟수를 10회로 고정하고 spacing 두께를 2.8nm, 5.6nm, 11.2nm로 바꾸어 성장하여 PL 특성을 관찰하여본 결과 spacing이 2.8nm인 경우 수직적으로 정렬된 양자점 간에 coupling이 매우 커서 single layer QD의 PL peak에 비해 약 100nm 정도 파장이 증가하였고, spacing의 두께가 11.2nm 일 경우는 single layer QD와 거의 같은 파장의 빛을 방출하여 중첩이 거의 일어나지 않지만 두꺼운 spacing때문에 PL세기가 감소하였다. 한편, 적층회수에 따른 광학적 특성을 PL로 조사하여 본 결과 peak 파장은 적층횟수가 1회에서 3회로 증가했을 때는 blue shift 하다가 이후 적층이 증가함에 따라 red shift 하였다. 그리고 10층 이상의 적층에서는 excited state에서 기인된 peak이 검출되었다. 이렇나 원인은 적층수가 증가함에 따라 carrier life time이 증가하여 exciter state에 carrier가 존재할 확률이 증가하기 때문으로 생각된다. 또한 PL 세기가 다소 증가하다가 10층 이상의 경우는 다시 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 반치폭도 3층과 6층에서 가장 적은 값을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 결함생성과 관련하여 STEM 분석으로 해석되어질 수 있는데 6층 적층시는 양자점이 수직적으로 정렬되어 잘 형성됨을 관찰할 수 있었고 적층에 따른 크기 변화도 거의 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 10층 15층 적층시 몇가지 결함이 형성됨을 볼수 있었고 양자점의 정렬도 완전하게 이루어지지 않음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러므로 수직적층된 InAs 양자점의 광학적 특성은 성장조건에 따른 결함생성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며 상세한 논의가 이루어질 것이다.

In daily life, humans get stress very often. Stress is one of the important factors of healthy life and closely related to the quality of life. Too much stress is known to cause hormone imbalance of our body, and it is observed by the brain and bio signals. Based on this, the relationship between brain signal and stress is explored, and brain signal based stress index is proposed in our work. In this study, an EEG measurement device with 32 channels is adopted. However, only two channels (FP1, FP2) are used to this study considering the applicability of the proposed method in real enveironment, and to compare it with the commercial 2 channel EEG device. Frequency domain features are power of each frequency bands, subtraction, addition, or division by each frequency bands. Features in time domain are hurst exponent, correlation dimension, lyapunov exponent, etc. Total 6 subjects are participated in this experiment with English sentence reading task given. Among several candidate features, ${\frac{{\theta}\;power}{mid\;{\beta}\;power}}$ shows the best test performance (70.8%). For future work, we will confirm the results is consistent in low price EEG device.

Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disease known as trisomy 21. Congenital cardiac anomalies are present in about 40% of DS patients. Dental anomalies are also common among DS patients. In DS patients, canine impaction is 10 times more frequent and transposition of maxillary canine and first premolar is 50 times more common than in general population. A female DS patient with congenital heart disease was diagnosed as having a transposed impacted maxillary canine. Sectional fixed appliance with Nance holding arch was used for the orthodontic treatment. After space was regained for the eruption of the canine, orthodontic button was attached using flap operation with closed technique. Traction and alignment of the tooth followed. To prevent endocarditis, prophylactic antibiotics were prescribed for the recommended dental procedures. Total treatment time was 25 months and no complication was found.

Heavy rainfall intensity may cause shallow slope failures and debris flow by rill erosion and scour on land surface. The paper represents the difference between native soil (weathered soil) and reinforced soil, which is mixed by hardening agent with flyash as main material, for investigating experimental findings of rill erosion and erosion. Results obtained from artificial rainfall simulator show that erosion rate of reinforced soil mixed with hardening agent is reduced by 20% because an amount of eroded soil on slope surface is inversely proportional to the increase of soil strength. For example, rainfall of 45mm (at the elapsed time of 25mins in rainfall intensity of 110mm/hr) triggers rill erosion on native soil surface, but the rill erosion on reinforced soil surface does not even occur at 330mm rainfall (at the elapsed time of 3hrs in rainfall intensity of 110mm/hr). As a result of slope stability analysis, it was found that the construction method for reinforced soil surface would be more economical, easy and fast construction technology than conventional reinforcement method.

Speech is complex psycho-physiological mutual process which includes many orofacial organs. Especially, teeth play an especially important role as an articulation organ in conjunction with the lips and tongue. When teeth are missing, the position of tongue and mandible is adjusted to produce correct sound. If a patient's adaptive function is inadequate for modification of malocclusion, prosthodontic and orthodontic interventions are necessary. Missing teeth of young patients should be reconstructed bacause it can cause malocclusion, decreased masticatory efficiency, articulation disorders, esthetic problem, and temporomandibular disorder. Valplast$^{(R)}$(Valplast International Corp, New York, USA) flexible denture is useful for rehabilitation due to its excellent physical properties, esthetics, and small volume. This case is regardingan intellecturally disabled patient with anarticulation disorder caused by missing lower incisors due to trauma. The patient showed improvement in articulation by using flexible partial denture. The purpose of this report is to figure out the influence of missing lower anterior teeth on articulation.

For the purpose of next generation technology for robot perfomances, a RAoRA (Robot Actor on Robot Arm) structure was proposed using a robot arm joined with a humanoid robot actor. Mechanical analysis, machine design and fabrication were performed for motions combined with the robot arm and the humanoid robot actor. Kinematical analysis for 3D model, spline interpolation of positions, motion control algorithm and control devices were developed for movements of the robot actor. Preliminary visualization, simulation tools and integrated operation of consoles were constructed for the non-professionals to produce intuitive and safe contents. Air walk was applied to test the developed platform. The air walk is a natural walk close to a floor or slow ascension to the air. The RAoRA also executed a performance with 5 minute-running time. Finally, the proposed platform of robot performance presented intensive and live motions which was impossible in conventional robot performances.

The oyster mushroom cultivation house typically has multiple layers of growing shelves that cause the disturbance of air circulation inside the mushroom house. Due to this instability in the internal environment, growth distinction occurs according to the area of the growing shelves. It is known that minimal air circulation around the mushroom cap facilitates the metabolism of mushrooms and improves their quality. For the purpose of this study, a CFD analysis FLUENT R16 has been carried out to improve the internal environment uniformity of the oyster mushroom cultivation house. It is found that installing a section of the working passage towards the ceiling is to maintain the internal environment uniformity of the oyster mushroom cultivation house. When all the environment control equipment - including a unit cooler, an inlet fan, an outlet fan, an air circulation fan, and a humidifier - were operated simultaneously, the reported Root Mean Square (RMS) valuation the growing shelves were as follows: velocity 23.86%, temperature 6.08%, and humidity 2.72%. However, when only a unit cooler and an air circulation fan operated, improved RMS values on the growing shelves were reported as follows: velocity 23.54%, temperature 0.51%, and humidity 0.41%. Therefore, in order to maintain the internal environment uniformity of the mushroom cultivation house, it is essential to reduce the overall operating time of the inlet fan, outlet fan, and humidifier, while simultaneously appropriately manage the internal environment by using a unit cooler and an air circulation fan.

In Summer, oxygen-deficient water masses were developed extensively in the closed eutrophic bays such as Chinhae Bay which results in mass mortality of marine organisms and severe decrease the production of the bay every year. Under the circumstances, this study was performed to investigate the oxygen depletion relating to eutrophication, and also to evaluate self-purfication capacity of Buk Bay by dissolved oxygen mass balance in 1988. The mean concentration of total inorganic nitrogen, phosphate phosphorus and chlorophyll-a were $11.06{\mu}g-at/l,\;0.80{\mu}g-at/l\;and\;1.11mg/m^3$ respectively, which were over eutrophication criteria. Oxygen-deficient water mass was formed in July with the minimum concentration of 2.08ml/l(mean) at the bottom of all stations and recovered slowly in August. The decay and reaeration coefficient calculated from dissloved oxygen sag curve were 0.222/day and 0.018ml/l/day, respectively. To maintain above 4ml/l of oxygen to prevent oxygen-deficient water mass, it is recommendable to supply as much as 0.856ml/l/day of dissolved oxygen or should be reduced the same mass loading of BOD from watershed by the construction of wastewater treatment plant.
