We propose a band-switchable terahertz metamaterial based on an etched vanadium dioxide (VO₂) thin film. A line of etched VO₂ thin film was placed in the center gap of the split square-loop shape for the tunability of the metamaterial. The resonance frequency of the metamaterial can be switched from the 1.4 THz band to the 0.7 THz band, according to the insulator-metal phase transition in the VO₂ thin film. The absolute difference in the transmittance of the metamaterial was 78.5% and 65.8% at 0.7 THz and 1.4 THz respectively, according to the band switching. The differential phase shift was around 90°, and the transmittance was stably maintained between 40% and 60% in the middle band of the two switchable resonance-frequency bands.

As texture images have become prevalent throughout a variety of industrial applications, copyright protection of these images has become important issues. For this reason, this paper proposes a color-texture image watermarking algorithm utilizing texture properties inherent in the image. The proposed algorithm selects suitable blocks to embed a watermark using the energy and homogeneity properties of the grey level co-occurrence matrices as inputs for the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. To embed the watermark, we first perform a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on the selected blocks and choose one of DWT subbands. Then, we embed the watermark into discrete cosine transformed blocks with a gain factor. In this study, we also explore the effects of the DWT subbands and gain factors with respect to the imperceptibility and robustness against various watermarking attacks. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio values (47.66 dB to 48.04 dB) and lower M-SVD values (8.84 to 15.6) when we embedded a watermark into the HH band with a gain factor of 42, which means the proposed algorithm is good enough in terms of imperceptibility. In addition, the proposed algorithm guarantees robustness against various image processing attacks, such as noise addition, filtering, cropping, and JPEG compression yielding higher normalized correlation values (0.7193 to 1).

Drone images with high spatial resolution are emerging as an alternative to previous studies with extraction limits in high density forests. Individual tree in the dense forests were extracted from drone images. To detect the individual tree extracted through the image segmentation process, the image segmentation results were compared between the combination of DSM and all R,G,B band and the combination of DSM and R,G,B band separately. The changes in the tree density of a deciduous forest was experimented by time and image. Especially the image of May when the forests are dense, among the images of March, April, May, the individual tree extraction rate based on the trees surveyed on the site was 50%. The analysis results of the width of crown showed that the RMSE was less than 1.5m, which was the best result. For extraction of the experimental area, the two sizes of medium and small trees were extracted, and the extraction accuracy of the small trees was higher. The forest tree volume and forest biomass could be estimated if the tree height is extracted based on the above data and the DBH(diameter at breast height) is estimated using the relational expression between crown width and DBH.

This study was carried out to obtain data concerning the genetic variability of Pleurotus ostreatus. Monospores of P. ostreatus were isolated and cultured to estimate differences in the rate of mycelial growth and genetic similarity among the isolates. Although the overall growth rates were slow compared to their parental dikaryon except 2-MI 4, significant differences in the rate of mycelial growth were observed among isolates. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using twenty six random primers showed 345 polymorphic DNA bands from 35 monospore isolates and their parental dikaryon. DNA bands ranged from 0.1 to 4.0 Kb in size. Most various polymorphic DNA bands within monospore isolates were obtained when we used J (OPA-01) or W (OPB-04). The 36-MI 103 showed totally different band patterns from those of the others. RAPD analysis revealed that there is approximatly 75% genetic similarity between monospore isolates and their parental dikaryon except 36-MI 103, which showed only 49% genetic similarity. In addition, genetic similarity degrees were classified into four groups: I (parental dikaryon), II (fast growing type), III (moderate growing type), and IV (slow growing type). However, there is no correlation between mating type and mycelial growth rates.

The oyster mushroom is a wide cultivar among cultivated edible mushrooms in Korea. But, due to the excess of domestic production, the price has been falling. This study has been conducted to develope new variety oyster mushroom(Pleurotus ostreatus) which have a long term storage to export in foreign market as well as domestic. 'Gonji-7ho', a new variety of oyster mushroom, for the bottle culture, was bred by mating with monokaryons isolated from 'Nongmin-59ho' and 'MT07156'. In the characteristics of fruit body, pilei were round type and gray and stipes were white color and soft. The fruit body growth was vital and uniform. When fruit-body was stored at 4 degrees after packing with plastic vinyl, storage period was extended 7 days longer than 28 day of chunchu-2ho. The yield was 166 g per a bottle(￠65, 900 ml).

The Median Resolution Sensors (MRSs) for land observation such as Landsat-ETM+ and SPOT-HRV are more effective than Ocean Color Sensors (OCSs) for studying of detailed ecological and biogeochemical components of the coastal waters. In this study, we developed suspended sediment algorithm for Landsat TM/ETM+ by considering the spectral response curve of each band. To estimate suspended sediment concentration (SS) from satellite image data, there are two difference types of algorithms, that are derived for enhancing the accuracy of SS from Landsat imagery. Both empirical and remote sensing reflectance model (hereafter referred to as $R_{rs}$ model) are used here. This study tried to compare two algorithm, and verified using in situ SS data. It was found that the empirical SS algorithm using band 2 produced the best result. $R_{rs}$ model-based SS algorithm estimated higher values than empirical SS algorithm. In this study we used $R_{rs}$ model developed by Ahn (2000) focused on the Mediterranean coastal area. That's owing to the difference of oceanic characteristics between Mediterranean and Korean coastal area. In the future we will improve that $R_{rs}$ model for the Korean coastal area, then the result will be advanced.

After phthalonitrile derivatives were synthesized by the introduction of phenoxy, 2-naphthoxy or 4-trityl phenoxy group on ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-position, oxovanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPc) derivatives containing electron-rich substituent group at different position were synthesized successfully in this investigation. The chemical structure of samples was determined by the means of $^1H$-NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy, and FT-IR spectrometer. Also, optical and chemical properties were determined by the means of UV-Vis spectrometer, X-ray diffractometry, and thermo gravimetry. It was found that the maximum absorbing wavelength of VOPc derivatives ranged from 684 to 726 nm. Also, their solubility and Q-band were enhanced and shifted by the introduction of substitute group, respectively.

질화갈륨 기반의 III족-질화물 계열의 반도체 물질은 녹색-자외선 영역의 발광다이오드에 응용되어 왔으며 고효율, 고휘도 발광소자의 구현 및 성능 향상을 위해 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 일반적으로 널리 사용되어온 c축 방향으로 성장된 질화갈륨 기반 발광다이오드에서는 활성층의 에너지 밴드구조가 내부전기장에 의해 변형되어 전자와 정공의 재결합 확률이 저하된다. c축 방향으로 형성되는 내부전기장은 축방향으로의 자발적 분극화와 높은 압전 분극 현상에 기인한다. 이와 같은 분극 성장에서의 내부양자효율 저하 현상을 해결하기 위하여 내부 전기장이 존재하지 않는 a축과 m축과 같은 무분극 방향으로의 성장이 집중적으로 연구되고 있다. 현재 사파이어 기판위에서 무분극 성장된 박막은 높은 밀도의 결함이 발생하여 고품위의 발광다이오드 동작에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 최근 결함 밀도를 낮추고 높은 결정성을 갖는 무분극 질화갈륨 박막을 성장하기 위하여 2-단계 성장 방법, 나노구조층 삽입, 산화규소 마스크 패턴 등 다양한 성장 방법들이 연구되어 주목할 만한 연구 결과들이 보고되고 있다. 다양한 성장 방법들에 의해 성장된 박막들은 고유한 특성들을 보이는데, 특히 박막 성장방법에 따라 박막 내부에 형성되는 깊은 준위의 특성들은 발광다이오드의 소자 특성에도 큰 영향을 미치게 되므로 무분극 박막에서의 깊은 준위에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 금속-유기 화학기상증착 방법으로 r면의 사파이어기판 위에 a면의 질화갈륨을 성장시켰다. 고품질의 결정성을 구현하기 위해 저온 핵형성층, 3차원 성장층, 2차원 중간온도 성장층, 2차원 성장층의 4개 버퍼층을 사용하였으며, 질화규소 나노구조층을 삽입함으로써 고품 위의 a면 질화갈륨 박막을 구현하였다. 성장된 a면 질화갈륨 박막에 형성된 깊은 준위들은 접합용량과도분광법을 이용하여 분석되었으며 질화규소 삽입층의 유무에 따른 깊은 준위의 특성 차이에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

This paper presents a new idea of structural design of the optical access network for IPOW(IP over WDM) services. More efficient network can be constructed, because the IP packets are transmitted directly to the WDM without going through an intermediate layer of networks. The wavelength Routing is based on a label switching technology. The ability to transmission of high volume traffics and QoS capability of the optical label switching directly to the end user of the IPOW optical internet networks is provided. As in AON(Active Optical Network) flexible bandwidth on demand subscribers is allocated. By the Simulation of the proposed optical access networks to measure the BER(Bits Error Ratio) at the end of the nodes the network characteristics are analyzed. These results are based on the design of efficient optical network.
