The present study examines the morning-afternoon asymmetry of the geosynchronous magnetic field strength on the dayside (magnetic local time [MLT] = 06:00~18:00) using observations by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) over a period of 9 years from February 1998 to January 2007. During geomagnetically quiet time (Kp < 3), we observed that a peak of the magnetic field strength is skewed toward the earlier local times (11:07~11:37 MLT) with respect to local noon and that the geosynchronous field strength is larger in the morning sector than in the afternoon sector. That is, there is the morning-afternoon asymmetry of the geosynchronous magnetic field strength. Using solar wind data, it is confirmed that the morning-afternoon asymmetry is not associated with the aberration effect due to the orbital motion of the Earth about the Sun. We found that the peak location of the magnetic field strength is shifted toward the earlier local times as the ratio of the magnetic field strength at MLT = 18 (B-dusk) to the magnetic field strength at MLT = 06 (B-dawn) is decreasing. It is also found that the dawn-dusk magnetic field median ratio, B-dusk/B-dawn, is decreasing as the solar wind dynamic pressure is increasing. The morning-afternoon asymmetry of the magnetic field strength appears in Tsyganenko geomagnetic field model (TS-04 model) when the partial ring current is included in TS-04 model. Unlike our observations, however, TS-04 model shows that the peak location of the magnetic field strength is shifted toward local noon as the solar wind dynamic pressure grows in magnitude. This may be due to that the symmetric magnetic field associated with the magnetopause current, strongly affected by the solar wind dynamic pressure, increases. However, the partial ring current is not affected as much as the magnetopause current by the solar wind dynamic pressure in TS-04 model. Thus, our observations suggest that the contribution of the partial ring current at geosynchronous orbit is much larger than that expected from TS-04 model as the solar wind dynamic pressure increases.

In this study, we surveyed the increasing rate of the licensed medical technicians from the year of 1970 to 2003 in Korea along with the investigation of the growth ratio by sex and fields among the licensed medical technicians. On the basis of this survey, this study aims to provide a milestone for the further studies to resolve the problems arising from asymmetry of sex ratio in some specific fields of medical technicians and oversupply of the in-service technicians. The results show that in contrast to the year 1970, the whole growth rate was 59.46%, males 28.98%, females 285.21%. In the case of sex ratio, in 1970 the figure of males to females was 6.63 to 1 but the figure of 2003 was 0.67 to 1, which indicates the number of female technicians are badly increasing. Until 2003, the ratio of female technicians was higher than the male technicians in the fields of medical technologists, physical therapists, dental hygienists, occupational therapists, medical record technicians but in radiologist technological, dental technicians and opticians the ratio was reversed.

조석이 크게 작용하는 서해안 지역에서 천해조 성장에 기인하여 조위곡선에 비대칭 현상이 발생하는 경우를 볼 수 있다. 특히 목포해역의 낙조우세는 국내에서 가장 두드러지기에 국내 연구자들에 의해 낙조우세 현상과 관련된 다양한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 목포해역 낙조우세의 근원은 무안만의 드넓은 조간대에 기인한다고 알려져 있는데 이러한 조석비대칭의 정량적 해석을 위해 진폭비 및 상대지각, 조위 및 조류속 곡선의 왜도 등을 고찰하였다. 또한 무안만에서 보름 동안 조위를 관측함으로써 목포항과의 진폭 및 조시차를 파악할 수 있었으며 무안만의 낙조시간이 목포항보다 40분 정도 짧음을 확인하였다. 이와 함께 목포북항과 목포구 조류예보자료 역시 분석하여 결과 도출에 활용하였다. 한편, 대소조 주기별 조석비대칭의 정량적 변화를 PCA 및 SWA 지표를 통해 검토함으로써 소류사와 부유사 거동의 정성적 해석의 토대를 제공하였다. 이와 함께 목포해역 낙조우세의 장기적 변화를 고찰함으로써 조석비대칭과 관련된 이 해역의 과거-현재-미래를 아우르는 조석특성 규명의 기초를 마련하였다.

A multilayer piezoelectric transformer (MPT) which generates a high voltage dc power with low driving voltage and high voltage setup ratio was made by the tape casting method. The measured electrical characteristics of the MPT agreed with the results simulated from the equivalent circuit of the MPT. With increasing the number of layer in the MPT, the resonance curve of the input cur-rent revealed an asymmetry due to the increasing input capacitance, while that of output dc voltages revealed symmetry. The MPT which has very thin layer was excellently characterized as low driving voltage and high voltage setup ratio. The output dc voltage is nonlinearly influenced by the number of layer in the MPT.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of public credit guarantee programs and interest-support programs for SMEs (small and medium enterprises). First, assuming that there is an imperfect information structure in the SME loan market, we analyze how SME support financial programs affect the corporate decisions made by SMEs with regard to default or loan sizes. In addition, this paper theoretically computes the optimal levels of credit guarantee amounts and the interest-support spread under equilibrium with imperfect information in a competitive loan market. Second, the paper empirically analyzes the continuous policy-treatment effect with the GPS (generalized propensity score) method. In particular, we consider the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt as a continuous policy treatment. The empirical results show that marginal effects of a credit guarantee on SMEs' productivity, profitability, and growth potential decrease with the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt. In addition, the average effect of a credit guarantee is maximized when this ratio is at 50% to 60%.

The reactions of Ru(tpy)Cl3 (tpy = 2,2';6',2"-terpyridine) with new N,N,C-terdentate ligands, 3,2'-annulated-6-(2"-pyridyl)-2-phenylpyridines (1, HL) and the properties of their Ru(II) complexes are described. The distribution ratio of the two possible Ru(II) complexes, a pentaaza-coordinated complex [Ru(tpy)(1-N,N')Cl]+ and a cycloruthenated complex [Ru(tpy)(La-N,N',C)]+ are highly dependent on the length of the polymethylene unit. The trimethylene bridge of the N,N,C-terdentate in pentaaza-coordinated complex is rigid enough to induce an asymmetry in the complex.

Two hundreds of female aged 19 years old and up were recruited to evaluate the postural changes and bilateral variation of asymmetry over age. To find out the differences among the age group, subjects were classified into 5 groups, early young age(19-29), late young age(30-39), early middle age(40-49), late middle age(50-59), and old age(60-). 35 body measurements were taken by the 3-D body scanner which allowed us to take measurements which cannot be measured using traditional methods, including the shape of a cross section, slice area surface are, and volume. Bilateral variations were observed as a function of age; Depth of scapular point level, scapular point to center back, and blade angle. Postural change of anterior cervical angle, upper anterior thoracic angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, posterior cervical angle, and center back/center front ratio were also exhibited. In each measurements, subjects were classified into normal, and abnormal group. Percentiles of abnormal in shoulder line angle, blade angle, neck point $\∼$ acromial point $\∼$ scapular point, posterior cervical angle, and upper posterior thoracic angle were increased over age group. The upper body of lateral view was classified into 3 types of posture based on the previous research; straight, erect(leaning back), and stooped(bent forward). The percentiles of subjects who have straight postures were decreased as a function of age, but those of stooped postures were increased. Subjects who have erect postures did not so. The stooped posture group shows the big cervical fossa angle, anterior cervical angle, posterior cervical angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, and the small upper anterior thoracic angle comparing to the straight and erect posture group. These results could be apply for clothing construction reflecting the changes in back, shoulder, neck, and the bilateral asymmetry according to the target age group.

Super-RENS(super-resolution near-field structure) read-out 신호는 비선형 채널을 겪으면서 ISI(inter-symbol interference)의 영향으로 신호가 변형된다. 본 논문에서는 등화기의 측면에서 super-RENS 신호에 나타나는 비대칭성과 domain bloom 특성에 대해 살펴본다. Domain bloom은 광 레코드의 기록 과정에서 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 비대칭 심벌 변환 방식을 이용하여 비대칭 심벌들을 생성하며, 비선형 심벌과 선형 FIR(finite impulse response) 필터로 read-out 채널을 모델링한다. 이러한 비선형 채널의 등화는 채널의 선형 FIR 필터의 역필터를 찾은 다음 역필터로 등화된 신호를 심볼 변환 방식으로부터 전개된 결정 방식 테이블에 기초하여 판별하는 과정으로 진행된다. 제안하는 등화기를 raw BER(bit error ratio)의 관점에서 모의실험과 실제 super-RENS read-out 신호를 이용하여 분석하였다.

회로 시뮬레이터를 이용하는 DC 셀 노드전압 분석방법을 적용하여, 고저항 SRAM 셀 구조에서 기생저항들과 트랜지스터 비대칭에 의해 야기되는 정적 읽기동작에서의 동작마진을 조사하였다. 이상적인 셀에 기생저항을 선택적으로 추가함으로써 각 기생저항들이 동작 마진에 끼치는 영향을 조사한 뒤, 기생저항이 좌우대칭 쌍으로 존재하는 경우에 대해 조사하고, 또한 셀 트랜지스터의 채널폭을 선택적으로 변화시켜 트랜지스터의 비대칭을 야기시킴으로써 트랜지스터 비대칭에 의한 동작 마진의 저하를 분석하였다. 분석 방법은 시뮬레이션된 셀 노드전압 특성에서 두 셀 노드전압이 하나의 값으로 수렴되는 전원전압의 값과 $V_{DD}=5V$에서 셀 노드전압의 차를 비교함으로써 상대적인 동작 마진을 비교하는 방법을 사용하였다. 회로 시뮬레이션에 의존한 본 분석으로부터 셀의 정적 읽기동작에 가장 심각한 영향을 끼치는 기생저항 성분과 트랜지스터의 비대칭 형태를 규명함으로써 새로운 셀 구조 설계시 참고할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였다.
