In this paper, a new anisotropic diffusion based on Alvarez, Lions, and Morel (ALM) diffusion model is proposed for the suppression of blocking artifact caused by discrete cosine transform (DCT) based image compression. The proposed diffusion model, which incorporates a 'rate control parameter' (RCP), makes it possible to reduce blocking artifacts while to preserve the edge. The RCP controls the rate between isotropic and anisotropic diffusion. Isotropic diffusion is encouraged to eliminate the blocking artifacts in a block boundary of a smooth region, while anisotropic diffusion is encouraged to keep the edge or texture sharp in edge and a block boundary within an edge region. Additionally, to avoid oversmoothness of the texture region, a 'speed control parameter' (SCP), which makes diffusion process slow in the texture region, is employed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of expedite repairing of concrete pavements using precast concrete pavement method and to investigate the effectiveness of slab connection methods. In the demonstration construction, four slabs of jointed concrete pavements were replaced with the precast slabs. First, precast concrete slabs were designed and fabricated, then existing slabs were cut and removed, and finally precast slabs were installed. The slabs were leveled and pockets, holes, and space between the slab bottom and the underlying layer were grouted. From the demonstration construction, details about the design and construction of the precast pavements for repairing of pavements were evaluated. In addition, the slab connection methods such as pocket and hole connection methods were applied in the construction and the slab curling behaviors at the joints that include those connection methods were compared. The results showed that both slab connection methods were applicable, and the hole connection method was superior.

The composite metal deck plate system has been widely used for office structures. Recently, however, the flat deck plate has been developed to apply the composite slab system to residential structures. Reduction in construction cost and time can be expected by using expanded metal instead of wire mesh as crack control reinforcements. This study proposed a composite slab system composed of a new-shaped steel deck plate and expanded metal. Twelve specimens were tested to evaluate the structural performance of the new composite slab system. The test results were summarized mainly in terms of maximum load carrying capacity and failure behaviors of each specimen.

반도체 소자가 고집적화 되고 고속화를 필요로 하게 됨에 따라, 기존에 사용되었던 알루미늄이나 텅스텐보다 낮은 전기저항, 높은 electro-migration resistance으로 미세한 금속배선 처리가 가능한 Cu가 주목받게 되었다. 하지만 과잉 디싱 현상과 에로젼을 유도하여 메탈라인 브리징과 단락을 초래할 있고 Cu의 단락인 islands를 남김으로서 표면 결함을 제거하는데 효과적이지 못다는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 특히 평탄화 공정시 높은 압력으로 인하여 Cu막의 하부인 ILD막의 다공성의 low-k 물질의 손상을 초래 할 수 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 기존의 CMP에 전기화학을 결합시킴으로서 낮은 하력에서의 Cu 평탄화를 달성 할 수 있는 기존의 CMP 기술에 전기화학을 접목한 새로운 개념의 ECMP (electrochemical-mechanical polishing) 기술이 생겨나게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최적화된 ECMP 공정을 위하여 I-V곡선과 CV법을 이용하여 active. passive. trans-passive 영역의 전기화학적 특징을 알아보았고. Cu막의 표면 형상을 알아보기 위해 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) 측정과 Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) 분석을 통해 금속 화학적 조성을 조사하였다.

PURPOSES: This study aims to develop a rational procedure for estimating the pavement roughness index considering vehicle wandering. METHODS : The location analysis of the passing vehicle in the lane was performed by approximately 1.2 million vehicles for verification of the wandering distribution. According to verification result, the distribution follows the normal distribution pattern. The probability density function was estimated using each lane's wandering distribution model. Then the procedure for applying a weighted value into the lane profile was conducted using this function. RESULTS : The modified index, MRIw, with consideration towards applying the wandering weighted value application was computed then compared with MRI. It was found that the Coefficient of Variation for distribution of lateral roughness index in the lane was high in the case of a large difference between each index (i.e., MRIw and MRI) observed. CONCLUSIONS : This result confirms that the new procedure with consideration of the weight factor can successfully improve the lane representative characteristics of the roughness index.

Ultrathin Reoxidized Nitrided Oxides were formed by lamp heated rapid thermal annealing in oxyzen at temperatures of $1050^{\circ}C$-$1100^{\circ}C$ for 20, 40 seconds. The electrical characteristics of ultrathin films were evaluated by leakage current breakdown voltage. TDDB. FN tunneling. Nitridation and reoxidition condition dependence of charge trapping properties. i.e.. the flat band voltage shift $({\Delta}V_{FB})$ and the increase of charge-to-breakdown $(Q_{BD})$ induced by a high field stress where studied. As the results of analysis. rapid thermal reoxidation was achieved striking improvement of dielectric integrity, the charge to breakdown was increased and flat band voltage shift was reduced.

무기EL 디스플레이는 고체재료에 전계를 가했을 때 발광하는 현상을 이용한소자로서, 급속도로 발전을 거듭하고 있으나, 유전체층에 강한전계를 가하여 발광하여야 하므로 낮은 Breakdown voltage와 효율의 한계로 인하여 휘도가 낮고 풀 컬러화 디스플레이 등 의 응용에는 적용되고 있지 못하는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 강유전체 Perovskite 구조를 가지는 ABO3 물질 중 PMN(Lead Magnesium niobate) 과 PZT (Lead Zirconate titanate) 후막을 제조하여 Inorganic EL(Electro Luminance)에 적용하고 소자의 광전특성을 평가하였다. 소자에 사용된 기판은 고온소성에 알맞은 알루미나(Al2O3)기판을 채택 하였으며, 그 위 하부전극으로는 고온소성에 따른 화학적 안정성이 우수한 Au전극을 Screen Printing 하였다. 제조 되어진 PMN후막 페이스트는 PMN(Pb(Mg1/2 Nb2/3)O3) + Glass Frit(Pb-Zn-B) + BaTiO3(99.99%) 로 합성되었으며 하부전극위에 인쇄하였다. 그 다음 PZT sol-gel을 Spin coating으로 도포 하였다. 형광체로 ZnS:Cu.Cl 을 Screen Printing을로 형성하였으며, 평탄화를 위하여 유기물 충을 Screen Printing 공정으로 성막 하였다. 상부전극으로는 DC sputter로 ITO를 증착하여 EL소자 완성 후 Spectro - Chroma meter로 소자특성을 측정하였다. 평탄화를 통한 유기물층에 변화되는 Capacitance를 Oscilloscope로 전압 전류 pulse의 변화에 따른 opto-electronic 특성을 평가하였다.

High-frequency(40∼120 kHz) reflection loss measurements on the water-sandy sediment with a flat interface were conducted in a water tank for various grazing angles. The water tank(5×5×5 m) was filled with a 0.5 m-thick-flat bottom of 0.5ø-mean-grain-size sand. Reflection losses, which were experimentally obtained as a function of grazing angle and frequency, were compared with the forward loss model, APL-UW model (Mourad & Jackson, 1989). For frequencies below 60 kHz, the observed losses well agree with the reflection loss model, however, in cases for frequencies above 70 kHz, the observed losses are greater by 2∼3 dB than the model results. The model calculation, which does not fully account for the vertical scale of roughness due to grain size, produce less bottom losses compared to the observations that correspond to large roughness based on the Rayleigh parameter in the wave scattering theory. In conclusion, for the same grain-size-sediment, as frequencies increase, the grainsize becomes the scale of roughness that could be very large for the frequencies above 70 kHz. Therefore, although the sea bottom was flat, we have to consider the frequency dependence of an effect of roughness within confidential interval of grain size distribution in reflection loss model.

Overlay welding affects the chemical components and weld hardness by dilution of the lamination layer thickness, which determines the surface properties. This study experimentally investigates different numbers of layers for overlay welding monel materials, which are anti-corrosion materials. The Fe content, weldability of the base metal and monel materials, hardness, and surface flatness were examined. Each evaluation was carried out after overlay welding with three layers on the base material and pipe base material of the plate. The Fe content was evaluated by analyzing the constituents of each layer. The Fe content was satisfactory in the three layers. The weldability of the laminate specimens was evaluated by a bending test. The hardness and bead flatness of the laminate specimens were evaluated by micro Vickers and 3D measurements. The hardness was highest in the heat-affected zone with one layer, and it decreased with increasing lamination. In the case of bead flatness, there is a sharp difference in the deviation with increasing numbers of laminations, which should be considered carefully.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon films were fabricated by low frequency(60Hz) Plasma enhanced Chemical vapor deposition(LF-PECVD) at room temperature. The LF_PECVD has a couple of advantages as follows: cheap, and the employment of low power density makes the damage of samples small. The a-C:H films deposited in this work were highly transparent(99%), highly resistance(109-1011${\Omega}$-cm), and very uniform. The samples were deposited by the decomposition of CH4 and H2 mixing gas in the pressure rate range of 1% to 30%. The deposition rates, optical gap, and hydrogen contents are increased with CH4 contents.
