We conducted a deep CCD observations in V band to obtain stellar density distribution and to determine the distances toward two molecular clouds with anomalous velocity in the Galactic anti-center region. Star count method based on the linear programming technique was applied to the CCD photometric data. We found two prominent peaks at distances of around 1.4 and 2.7 kpc. It is found that the first peak coincides well with stellar density enhancement of B8-A0 stars and the second one with the outer Perseus arm. The effect of the choice of the luminosity function is discussed. The stellar number density distribution is used to derive the distances to the molecular clouds and the visual extinctions caused by the clouds. We found that two molecular clouds are located almost at the same distance of about 1.1 $\pm$ 0.1 kpc, and the peak extinctions caused by the clouds are about 2.2 $\pm$ 0.3 mag in V band.

We have investigated $Al_{x}$ $Ga_{l-x}$ N/GaN epilayers (x = 0.08, 0.15) grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy on sapphire with photoluminescence(PL), and persistent photoconductivity(PPC) experiments. An anomalous S-shaped shift behavior of temperature dependencies of PL peak energy is observed for the x = 0.15 sample. In PPC measurement, showed that the dark current recovery time of $Al_{x}$$Ga_{l-x}$ N/GaN epilayers mainly depends on the Al content. These behaviors are usually attributed to the presence of carrier localization states. All these phenomena are explained based on the alloy compositional fluctuations in the $Al_{x}$ /$Ga_{l-x}$ N/ epilayers. The photocurrent quenching observed in PPC measurements for $Al_{x}$ $Ga_{l-x}$ N/ epilayers less than 0.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness indicates that the presence of metastable state in the bandgap of GaN layer, and that the excess holes in the valence band recombine with free electrons.

In order to investigate the optical properties of the $Al_XGa_{1-X}N/GaN$ thin film grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method, the photoluminescene (PL), photocurrent (PC) and persistent photoconductivity (PPC) measurements were carried out at room temperature. The band gap of the $A1_x$$Ga_{1-x}$N/GaN was determined to 3.70 eV by the PL and PC measurements. The PC measurement on the light illumination from the top of the $A1_x$$Ga_{1-x}$N/GaN thin film provides peaks at 3.70, 3.43, and around 2.2 eV. The PC spectrum by the illumination passing through from the substrate of the sample can be shown at 3.43 eV together with a broad tail band from the GaN band edge to around 2.23 eV. The photocurrent quenching and anomalous PPC decay observed in PPC measurements indicate that metastable electron states are fomed in the band gap of GaN layer to trap electrons which can be tunneled the potential barrier for long recovery time.

Congenital diverticula of the cardiac ventricle have been reported as arising either from the left ventricle or, rarely from both ventricles. A diverticulum arising from the right ventricle alone is very rare. Furthermore the diverticulum associated with double chambered right ventricle was extremely rare. We experienced a 62 years old female of double chambered right ventricle combined with congenital right ventricular true diverticulum. She had complained intermittent chest pain and mild dyspnea on exertion during 8 months. The chest X-ray and chest CT showed protruded abnormal density at anterolateral side of right ventricular outflow tract. Preoperative angiography demonstrated a double chambered right ventricle and a right ventricular diverticulum. In operative finding, there was found a anomalous muscle band, dividing the right ventricle into an inflow and outflow portion, and a 5x6cm sized right ventricular diverticulum arised from conus region with a stenotic orifice of 1.5cm in diameter. The diverticulum was open toward the infundibulum, and its orifice was approximately 1cm in diameter. On treatment, the diverticulum orifice was closed directly and the abnormal muscle band was resected in order to widen the right ventricular outflow tract. The postoperative result was satisfactory and good without specific complications.

Aiming at the problem that the Local Sparse Difference Index algorithm has low accuracy and low efficiency when detecting target anomalies in a hyperspectral image, this paper proposes a Weighted Collaborative Representation and Sparse Difference-Based Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection algorithm, to improve detection accuracy for a hyperspectral image. First, the band subspace is divided according to the band correlation coefficient, which avoids the situation in which there are multiple solutions of the sparse coefficient vector caused by too many bands. Then, the appropriate double-window model is selected, and the background dictionary constructed and weighted according to Euclidean distance, which reduces the influence of mixing anomalous components of the background on the solution of the sparse coefficient vector. Finally, the sparse coefficient vector is solved by the collaborative representation method, and the sparse difference index is calculated to complete the anomaly detection. To prove the effectiveness, the proposed algorithm is compared with the RX, LRX, and LSD algorithms in simulating and analyzing two AVIRIS hyperspectral images. The results show that the proposed algorithm has higher accuracy and a lower false-alarm rate, and yields better results.

광결정(Photonic crystals)은 유전체를 주기적으로 배치한 구조인데, 이런 구조에 의해 1차원, 2차원, 또는 3차원적으로 빛을 제어할 수 있다. [1] 이런 주기적인 구조로 인해 광결정 내에서는 특정에너지와 특정 방향을 가진 빛이 진행하지 못하는 광밴드 갭(photonic band gap)뿐만 아니라 밴드구조와 밀접한 관계가 있는 비정상적인 광분산이 나타나기도 한다. 이러한 비정상적인 광분산에는 입사빔의 미세한 파장변화에 따른 PC내에서의 급격한 빛의 꺾임이나, 단일 파장의 입사빔이 두갈래로 갈라지는 현상, 또는 negative나 1보다 작은 굴절효과 등이 있는데, 이러한 현상을 해석하기 위한 것으로 광결정내의 고정된 진동수에 해당하는 점들을 2차원 k공간에서 표시한 분산곡선(dispersion surface)이 도입되었다.

Raman spectroscopy is one of the most widely used tools in the field of graphene and two-dimensional (2D) materials. It is used not only to characterize structural properties such as the number of layers, defect densities, strain, etc., but also to probe the electronic band structure and other electrical properties. As the field of 2D materials expanded beyond graphene to include new classes of layered materials including transition metal dichalcogenides such as $MoS_2$, new physical phenomena such as anomalous resonance behaviors are observed. In this review, recent results from Raman spectroscopic studies on 2D materials are summarized.

We propose a new method of masking cloud-affected pixels in satellite ocean color imageries such as of GLI. Those pixels, mostly found around cloud pixels or in scattered cloud area, have anomalous features in either in chlorophyll-a estimate or in water reflectance. This artifact is most likely caused by residual error of inter-band registration correction. Our method is to check the pixel-wise 'soundness' of the spectral water reflectance Rw retrieved after the atmospheric correction. First, we define two spectral ratio between water reflectance, IRR1 and IRR2, each defined as RW(B1)/RW (B3) RW (B3) and as RW (B2)/RW(B4) respectively, where $B1{\sim}B4$ stand for 4 consecutive visible bands. We show that an almost linear relation holds over log-scaled IRR1 and IRR2 for shipmeasured RW data of SeaBAM in situ data set and for GLI cloud-free Level 2 sub-scenes. The method we propose is to utilize this nature, identifying those pixels that show significant discrepancy from that relationship. We apply this method to ADEOS-II/GLI ocean color data to evaluate the performance over Level-2 data, which includes different water types such as case 1, turbid case 2 and coccolithophore bloom waters.

The decadal change in rainfall for Changma period over the South Korea in early-2000s is detected in this study. The Changma rainfall in P1 (1992~2002) decade is remarkably less than in P2 (2003~2013) decade. The much rainfall in P2 decade is associated with the increase of rainy day frequency during Changma period, including the frequent occurrences of rainy day with a intensity of 30 mm/day or more in P2 decade. This decadal change in the Changma rainfall is due to the decadal change of atmospheric circulation around the Korean Peninsula which affects the intensity and location of Changma rainfall. During P2 decade, the anomalous anti-cyclone over the south of the Korean Peninsula, which represents the expansion of the North Pacific high with warm and wet air mass toward East Asia, is stronger than in P1 decade. In addition, the upper level zonal wind and meridional gradient of low-level equivalent potential temperature in P2 decade is relatively strengthened over the northern part of the Korean Peninsula than in P1 decade, which corresponds with the intensification of meridional gradient between air mass related to the East Asian summer monsoon nearby the Korean Peninsula in P2 decade. The enhanced meridional gradient of atir mass during P2 decade is favorable condition for the intensification of Changma rainfall band and more Changma rainfall. The atmospheric conditions related to enhanced Changma rainfall during P2 decade is likely to be influenced by the teleconnection linked to the suppressed convection anomaly over the southern part of China and South China Sea in P2 decade.

We investigated analytically and numerically the occurrence of modulation instability in fibers with periodic changes both in dispersion and gain. Previously, it has been known that the modulation instability is suppressed in dispersion managed solitons where dispersion is managed in such a way that the local dispersion alternates between the normal and the anomalous regimes. In this work, we enhanced the advantage of the dispersion management scheme by additionally introducing proper gain/loss profiles in fibers. The gain/loss profile is given by $\Gamma(z)=0.5/D(z)*(dD/dz)$, where D(z) represents the dispersion profile. The fundamental gain spectra of the modulation instability in the dispersion and gain managed fibers have been derived analytically and confirmed by numerical calculation. Our investigation reveals that in the dispersion and gain fibers the modulation instabilities are always much more suppressed compared to the case with only dispersion managed. In practical dispersion management schemes, dispersion profiles show discontinuity. and thus. the corresponding gain/loss profiles tend to be finite. In these cases, the gain/loss profiles were approximated by lumped gains/losses of finite values. Our numerical calculations confirm that this approximation also works well.
