Urban Green space takes charge of the important role for the physical activity and promotion of health to the residents. Therefore, this study is trying to examine the relationship between the various characteristics of green space and green space usage for physical activity and health promotion. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the information about patterns of green space usage and perceived neighborhood environments for the residents living in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do(n=541). Geographic Information System(GIS) was used to construct spatial data about green space accessibility and physical neighborhood environments. A Multiple Linear Regression model was used to examine the association between the characteristics of green space and physical activity, perceived health status and BMI(Body Mass Index). The study results revealed that the residents' physical activities are positively and directly influenced by the number of available public parks and green spaces in the vicinity(${\leq}200m$). The frequency at which residents witness others exercising nearby or the perceived abundance of low-cost gym facilities also factor as positive influences. The closer to the park, the higher the number of parks and area of green spaces, the more comfortable the walk thereto and the denser the neighboring residential area distribution, the perceived health level was found to be the more positively influenced. Further, it was verified that BMI is correlated with the number of public parks and green spaces within 400 m of the resident's home as well as the safety of walkways, the density of neighboring residential areas, the ratio of road, and the density of crosswalk. The significant multiple regression models between the characteristics of green spaces and physical activities and perceived health level were extracted within the significance level of 10%. This study will contribute to provide better understanding the ways in which green space and neighborhood characteristics are associated with physical activity and health. The result of this research will be available in the landscape architecture plan aimed at improving the use of green space for physical activity and reducing obesity.

Distributed mutual exclusion algorithms have employed two approaches to achieve mutual exclusion and can be divided into two broad classes:token-based and permission-based. Token-based algorithms share a unique token among the nodes and a node is allowed to access its common resources if it possesses the token. Permission-based algorithms require one or more successive rounds of message exchanges among the nodes to obtain the permission to access the common resources. A hypercube architecture has earned wide acceptance in multiprocessor systems in the past few years because of its simple, yet rich topology. Accordingly, we study distributed permission-based mutual exclusion algorithms for hypercubes, and design a distributed permission-based mutual exclusion algorithm based on a new information structure adapted to the hypercubes. The new information structure is a request set of T-pattern from a logical mesh that is embedded into a hypercube. If a node wants to access the common resources, it sends request message to all nodes in the request set by Lan's multicast algorithm. Once the node receives a grant message from all nodes in the request set, it accesses the common resource. We evaluate our algorithm with respect to minimum round-trip delay, blocking delay, and the number of messages per access to the common resource.

Three-dimensional cohesive sediment transport model, COSETM-3, is develpoed using a finite difference method. The model results are compared with the physical experimental results for the relative concentration with time at the mid-depth of the recirculating flume and are found to be in good agreement. This model is applied to Suyoung Bay in Pusan of Korea to verify the field applicability of the model and to investigate on the SS (suspended solids) diffusion phenomena at the bay. Behaviors of discharging SS from Suyoung River at normal river flow and flood river flow are predicted. The numerical results appear to be reasonable and qualitative agreement with field data. The influence of settling velocity on the concentration distribution of SS is also investigated. In case of not considering settling velocity, SS concentration at surface layer is higher than that at lower layer, but in case of considering settling velocity, SS concentration at lower layer is higher than that at surface layer. The fluctuation of SS concentration at surface layer is large due to the strong mixing, but the fluctuation of the concentration at lower layer is small due to the weak mixing. SS diffusion patterns at flood river flow are similar to those at normal river flow, while the concentration at that flow is so much higher than that at this flow. SS concentration increases with time until the peak discharge occurs, but the concentration decreases with time with decreasing river flow after the peak discharge.

The present study tested the effect of a top-down influence on recalling the colors of Stroop words. Participants remembered the colors of 1, 2, 3 or 6 Stroop words. After 1 second of a memory delay, they were asked to recall the color of a cued Stroop word by selecting out its corresponding color on a color-wheel stimulus. The correct recall was defined when the participants chose a color that was within ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ from the exact location of Stroop word's color on the color-wheel. Otherwise, the recall was defined as incorrect. The analyses of the frequency distribution of the participants' responses in the error trials showed that the probability of choosing the color-name of the target Stroop word was higher than the probability of other five color-names on the color-wheel. Further analyses showed that increasing the number of Stroop words to manipulate memory load did not affect the probability of the Stroop interference. These results indicate that the top-down interference by Stroop manipulation may induce systematic distortion of the stored representation in visual working memory.

Due to the convenience, RMR has been widely applied in civil engineering works such as tunnel, slope, and so on. Many researchers have studied to suggest more simple and trustable RMR by modifying its parameters. However, those researches have just focused on looking for easy modified-RMRs by reducing number of parameters using various statistical analyses. Therefore, this research studied questions of modified-RMRs and gaps between RMR and its parameters. Approximately 2,000 parameters of 400 RMRs from various tunnel sites were normalized respectively and compared with one another to study their relations and divergences. The comparison results showed that there were common patterns among RMR and parameters. Data of uniaxial compressive strength and RQD, qualitative parameters, were located in upper side of RMR line. Discontinuity condition and ground water, quantitative oriented parameters, were opposite to them. It means if both qualitative and quantitative parameters can be properly combined then it can be easy to make simple and easy modified-RMRs without using difficult statistics. This results also show that the majority of field engineers used to estimate RMR conservatively when they did quantitative oriented parameters.

The problem of finding clusters is widely used in numerous applications, such as pattern recognition, image analysis, market analysis. The important factors that decide cluster quality are the similarity measure and the number of attributes. Similarity measures should be defined with respect to the data types. Existing similarity measures are well applicable to numerical attribute values. However, those measures do not work well when the data is described by categorical attributes, that is, when no inherent similarity measure between values. In high dimensional spaces, conventional clustering algorithms tend to break down because of sparsity of data points. To overcome this difficulty, a subspace clustering approach has been proposed. It is based on the observation that different clusters may exist in different subspaces. In this paper, we propose a new similarity measure for clustering of high dimensional categorical data. The measure is defined based on the fact that a good clustering is one where each cluster should have certain information that can distinguish it with other clusters. We also try to capture on the attribute dependencies. This study is meaningful because there has been no method to use both of them. Experimental results on real datasets show clusters obtained by our proposed similarity measure are good enough with respect to clustering accuracy.

반도체를 비롯하여 LCD, OLED와 같은 디스플레이 (FPD: Flat Panel Display) 분야는 국가 선도 사업으로써 발전을 거듭해오고 있다. 하지만 기술의 성숙도가 높아짐에 따라 최근 중국과 대만 업체와의 경쟁이 심화되고 있으며, 더불어 환경문제가 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있어 신기술 개발을 통한 생산 수율 향상 및 친환경 공정 개발의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 반도체, 디스플레이 공정에서 생산 수율 저하의 주요 원인으로써 공정 중 발생하는 미세 오염 입자를 들수 있다. 반도체 및 디스플레이 공정에서 세정 기술은 전체 기술의 30% 이상을 차지하며 생산 수율 및 제품의 품질에도 큰 영향을 주는 공정이다. 세정 공정은 일반적으로 습식 세정 공정이 낮은 공정비용을 바탕으로 널리 적용되어 왔으나, 기판의 대형화와 패턴의 미세화에 따라 정밀한 세정 스펙이 요구되며 더불어 막대한 양의 초순수와 화학액의 사용으로 인한 공정비용 증가와 환경 규제 강화에 따른 폐수 처리의 문제에 직면하고 있다. 이에 따라 폐수의 양을 줄이며 건조공정을 필요로 하지 않아 공정비용을 줄일 수 있는 건식 세정 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. $CO_2$ snow jet 세정 기술은 건식 공정으로써 $CO_2$ 가스를 특수하게 제작된 분사 노즐에서 고압으로 가스를 분사하여 이 때 발생되는 순간적인 감압에 의한 단열 팽창으로 생성된 $CO_2$ snow 입자가 기판 표면의 오염물과 물리적 충돌을 하어 세정이 이루어지는 기술이다. 특히 $CO_2$ 세정은 환경과 인체에 무해하며 공정 후 바로 승화하기 때문에 추가적인 폐수처리 공정 등이 필요하지 않고, 건식 공정으로써 수세(Rinse) 공정을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에, 공정비용을 크게 줄일 수 있으며 물반점 발생을 방지 할 수 있는 친환경 건식 공정으로써의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자체적으로 개발한 $CO_2$ snow jet을 바탕으로 하여 다양한 공정조건을 변화시켜 세정효율을 측정하는 한편, 최적화 하기 위한 연구를 진행하였으며 더불어 $CO_2$ snow의 세정력을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 실험을 통해 가장 효과적으로 $CO_2$ snow 입자를 배출 할 수 있는 공정 조건으로써 5 bar의 캐리어 가스 압력을 사용하여, 세정력에 가장 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 분사 노즐과 기판 사이의 거리 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 변화시켜 각 조건에 따른 세정효율을 평가하였다. 세정 오염물은 Silica, PSL 표준 입자(Duke scientific, USA)를 정량적으로 웨이퍼에 오염 시킨 후, 파티클 스캐너(Surfscan 6500, KLA-Tencor, USA)를 이용하여 세정 전 후의 오염입자 개수 변화를 통해 정량적으로 세정효율을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 $CO_2$ snow jet를 이용한 친환경 고효율 건식 세정 공정 메커니즘을 분석하였으며, 노즐과 기판 사이의 간격 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 최적화 한 세정 공정을 얻을 수 있었다.

This study investigated the magnetic properties of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/SiO_2$ laminates with shape-induced magnetic anisotropy. The multilayer films were deposited on Si or upilex substrates, from separate $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ and $SiO_2$ (at %) alloy targets using a rf diode sputtering system. $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/SiO_2$ laminates with a various number of bilayers (N) were prepared. The laminates with ellipse array patterns were prepared using photolithographic technique. The magnetic properties were measured at room temperature using a B-H hysteresisgraph and a high frequency permeameter. The several steps during domain wall reversal were observed in multilayer films, attributing to inter-magnetic layer coupling. Intrinsic uniaxial anisotropy field increases with N. The experimental values of the total anisotropy field are found to be in good agreement with the calculated values. This study utilized the shape anisotropy of the laminated film objects with small ellipse array patterns to induce a larger uniaxial anisotropy so as to maximize their operating frequency.

In this study, the thermal analysis is carried out for a result of borehole heater test using ABAQUS ver 6.10 based on finite element analysis code. Thermal-mechanical rock properties as determined by laboratory tests before the in situ test and characteristics of the atmosphere at the test section are used as the initial condition. When comparing the results of the in situ test and thermal analysis, the temperature of C3 observation hole that is 0.9 m away from the heater showed very similar patterns and figures (about $1.3^{\circ}C$ difference). But the results of the A and B observation hole showed a significant difference around $15^{\circ}C{\sim}20^{\circ}C$. To find the reason for these results, the over-coring is carried out for the A1 and B1 observation holes. As a result of checking the excavated rock core with the naked eye, there is no problem on the number and position of the sensor as the test plan. However the state of cement injection in the observation hole is poor.

We have analyzed optical matched filters considering the third order signals in the optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system based on optical series coupler access encoder (SCAE) and series coupler access decoder (SCAD). In previous studies, the performance evaluation of the optical CDMA system using SCAE and SCAD was not sufficiently accurate because they analyzed system performance only considering the first order signals. Since optical SCAE and SCAD intrinsically have high order signals of various patterns as the number of coupler increases, they change auto- and cross-correlation intensities. Thus, it is necessary to investigate properties of the third order signals so that we may analyze the exact performance of system. In this paper, we mathematically interpret the optical signals up to the third order, and analyzed the effects of th third order signals on auto- and cross-correlation intensities. In result, as ${\alpha}$(coupling coefficient) value increases, the intensity of the third order signals increases. It is found that the peak to side-lobe ratio considering the third order signals is degraded by 3.75 dB at N(coupler number)=5 and ${\alpha}$=0.5. Also if threshold value in receiver is set by main-lobe peak of the first order signals, it is found that the number of users in an optical CDMA system is limited because the intensity peak of side-lobes is raised by the third order signals.
