  • This paper presents a low-cost RF parameter estimation technique using a new RF built-in self-test (BIST) circuit and efficient DC measurement for 4.5 to 5.5 GHz low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The BIST circuit measures gain, noise figure, input impedance, and input return loss for an LNA. The BIST circuit is designed using $0.18\;{\mu}m$ SiGe technology. The test technique utilizes input impedance matching and output DC voltage measurements. The technique is simple and inexpensive.

  • 본 연구에서는 POSIX 쓰레드(Pthreads)를 사용하여 구현한 새로운 SR 실행지원 시스템인 SR/RTS+를 제시한다. SR은 다중의 병행 제어 프리미티브를 이용해서 다양한 병행 프로그래밍 기법을 제공한다. 윈 SR 실행지원시스템이 자신의 고유한 쓰레드 경영 기법을 사용하였기 때문에 다른 컴퓨터 시스템에서 동작하기 위해서는 실행지원 시스템의 수정이 필요하다. 더우기 실행지원시스템의 실행 효율성은 이런 각각의 상이한 시스템에 연관되어 개별적으로 고려되어야 한다. 따라서 이식성을 증가시키고 실행 효 율성을 예측 가능하도록 하기 위해서 SR/RTS+를 하나의 POSIX프로세스내에서 다중의 실행의 쓰레드를 제공하는 Pthreaes(POSIX쓰레드)상에서 설계되었다. 또한 ,SR 컴파일러 Ptherads 인터페이스를 위한 코드를 적절히 생성하도록 수정되었다. SR/RTS+는 Florida Sate Univerisity에서 제공하는 Pthreads 라이브러리를 사용하여 Spare Workstation 상에서 개발되었으며, University of Arizona에서 제공하는 SR 검증 도구로 테스트하였다.

  • The primary objective of this study was to compare water use efficiencies between subsurface drip irrigation and furrow irrigation. The uniformity of used drip lines was tested to determine if clogging would be a threat to the long-term success of a subsurface drip irrigation system. Three crops, cantaloupe, lettuce, and bell pepper, were grown in four plots for each irrigation system. Significantly less water was applied with subsurface drip irrigation than with furrow irrigation (29.5 % less for cantaloupe and 43.2 % less for bell poppet) in order to produce similar crop yields. Water use efficiencies with subsurface drip irrigation were significantly higher than those with furrow irrigation fur cantaloupe (P-value = 0.018) and bell pepper (P-value ${\leq}$ 0.001). Drip-irrigated lettuce, a shallow-rooted crop, had moderately higher water use efficiency during the first two seasons, while no difference was observed in the third season. After the experiment, the uniformity of the drip lines was 92.1 % on average and classified as good. The high values fur water use efficiency and uniformity indicate that subsurface drip irrigation can be a sustainable method for conserving irrigation water.

  • Every individual uses, appraises and interacts with products on a daily basis. It is evident from current trends and theories associated with product design, that these products that are a part of our everyday lives, satisfy our needs in two ways, functionally and psychologically. While a product's usability or the service it provides may satisfy our functional needs, it is often the case that when given a choice, we may select one product from the other, even though they are functionally alike. Why do we make these choices, and more importantly, how? When users are satisfied with a product's performance, they seek a stronger emotional involvement with them(Lewalski, 1988). Are emotions responsible for our choices, likes and dislikes of products? What is the nature of this emotional involvement, what are these emotions, and how, if possible, can we design to generate specific emotions? This research proposes to develop into these questions. It is an effort to formulate the underpinnings of "design for emotions" and uncover the possibilities of a design process that places "emotion" as an equally important concern for the design of objects, as functionality or aesthetic appeal. The literature review will include a systematic study of human and product attributes, theoretical and empirical studies of emotion, and the interaction of humans and products is discussed. This project examines what product characteristics lead to an emotional experience, when people interact with them, and suggests a methodology or design guidelines that may allow designers to enhance or specifically modify the emotions experienced by people, while using the products that are a part of their everyday lives.

  • 정보환경과 이용자 요구의 변화, 그리고 이에 따른 도서관 역할변화에 대한 논의가 활발해짐에 따라 정보와 정보기술, 교육, 학습, 그리고 문화적 기능을 통합한 Information Commons의 개념에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만, Information Commons를 도입하기 위해서는 근본적인 요소에 대한 고려와 적용을 위한 모델이 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 Information Commons 도입을 위한 요소의 제시 및 적용과정의 제안과 함께, Information Commons의 적용이 비교적 잘 이루어져 있는 Arizona 대학도서관과 Indiana 대학도서관의 Information Commons를 모델로 S대학도서관에 Information commons의 개념을 도입한 가상의 리노베이션을 시도해 보았다. 이는 Information commons 적용의 예를 제시함으로써 보다 활발해질 논의에 대한 사례를 제공하기 위해 이루어졌다.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Setting healthful beverage expectations, making calcium-rich foods and beverages (CRF/B) available, and role modeling are parenting practices promoting calcium intake among early adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents of early adolescents to perform these practices. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Emotion-based messages were developed for each parenting practice and tested in 35 parents from 5 states. Findings were used to modify messages and develop a survey administered via Amazon MechanicalTurk to a convenience sample of Asian (n = 166) and Hispanic (n = 184) parents of children 10-13 years. Main outcome measures were message comprehension, motivation, relevance, acceptability, and novelty. Engagement in the parenting practices was also assessed. RESULTS: Message comprehension was acceptable for the majority of parents. Most also agreed that messages were motivational (setting healthful beverage expectations (69.0%), making CRF/B available (67.4%), and role modeling (80.0%)), relevant and acceptable. About 30-50% indicated they had not seen the information before. Many parents indicated they were already engaging in the practices (> 70%). No racial/ethnic differences were observed for responses to messages or engaging in parenting practices. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents to engage in parenting practices that promote calcium intake among early adolescents were motivating, relevant, and acceptable.

  • 본 연구에서는 황소자리 분자운에 위치한 L1521F-IRS의 운동학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 HCN(J=1-0) 분자선 을 이용한 전파관측을 수행하여 분석하였다. 약한 밝기의 천체에 대한 높은 공간 분해능 지도 관측을 위하여 미국 Tucson에 위치한 Arizona Radio Observatory 12 m 망원경을 이용하였으며, 대상의 주변을 충분히 포함할 수 있도록 5지점${\times}5$지점 광역관측모드로 관측대상의 중심을 포함한 $3.7'{\times}3.7'$ 영역을 관측하였다. HCN 분자선 적분 밝기 분포자료는 분자운핵 L1521F가 고밀도 환경에서 분자의 심각한 결핍 현상이 없이 중심에서 강한 밝기를 보여 주고 있음을 보았다. L1521F에서 발견된 적외선원의 위치를 기준으로 동쪽방향에는 청색비대칭 분광선이 서쪽에는 적색비대칭 분광선이 존재하고 이들의 분포가 기존의 적외선영상에서 나타난 고깔모양과 잘 일치하는 모습을 보이고 있는 것으로 보아 L1521F-IRS에서 나오는 가스 쌍극류의 존재를 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • Objective: To determine Korean facial profile preferences based on lip position as assessed by Hispanic-Americans of varying western adaptation levels and to determine whether the age and sex of the rater had any influence. Methods: For this study, 132 Hispanic-Americans and 68 Caucasians of varying age, sex and western adaptation levels volunteered to rate their preference of Korean male and female facial silhouettes having lips ranging from retruding to protruding. The Hispanic-Americans were also asked to complete a Bidimensional Acculturation Scale questionnaire to determine their western adaptation status: low-acculturated Hispanics (LAH; lesser western-adapted Hispanic participants) or high-acculturated Hispanics (HAH; higher western-adapted Hispanic participants). Results: The LAHs preferred significantly more retruded lip positions (p < 0.05) while HAHs showed some similarities with Caucasian participants in the results for the Korean male profile, even though HAHs preferred more retruded lip positions for the Korean female profile than Caucasians did (p < 0.05). The age and sex of raters did not influence the preference of facial profiles (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that Hispanic-Americans prefer a flatter Korean lip profile. It would be prudent for orthodontists to offer patients the option of altering lip profile through orthodontic and/or orthognathic surgery treatments.
