To investigate water mass structure and DO(Dissolved Oxygen) distribution in Chinhae Bay, temperature, salinity and DO were observed in the bay in summer and winter from 1990 to 1993, and two-dimensional tidal current and parameter log($H/U^3$) were computed. Shallow water fronts in the bay were formed in summer in Kaduk channel and the central part of the bay having log($H/U^3$) values of $2.0{\sim}2.5$. Oxygen deficiency at the bottom layer in summer occurred in the western and northern part of the bay with weak tidal current, where the value of log($H/U^3$) was more than about 3.5 and $M_2$ tidal current was less than about 20 cm/s. DO concentration at the bottom layer of Kaduk channel and the central channel of the bay having the strong tidal current was more than about 3.5 mg/l. The isolines of DO concentration were nearly parallel to the isovelocity, and the concentrations correlated with the frontal location. The frontal location and DO distribution were influenced by tidal range, river inflow and meteorological conditions, and also correlated with bottom slope characteristics.

A radiotracer investigation was carried out in a Thermal Stratification Test Facility (TSTF) with objectives of investigating the dispersion and diffusion of radionuclide and effectiveness of the thermocline to minimize the radionuclide content in the hot water layer. Technetium-99m (^99mTc) as sodium pertechnetate was used as a radiotracer in the investigation. Qualitative analysis showed that a thermocline is formed within the TSTF and is effective in preventing the transport of radionuclide from bottom section to the top section of the facility. It was found that the radiotracer injected at the bottom of the pool took about 17.4 h to disperse from bottom to the top of the facility. The results of the investigation helped in understanding the effectiveness of hot water layer and thus to minimize the pool top radiation levels.

A depth of interaction(DOI) detector module using a block scintillator and a pixellated scintillator was designed, and layer discrimination ability was calculated using DETECT2000. The block scintillator was used to improve the sensitivity and the spatial resolution was improved by measuring the DOI. The DOI was measured by analyzing the signal characteristics of each channel of the changed distribution of light. The detector module was composed to the block scintillator in the top layer and the pixellated scintillator in the bottom layer, which changes the distribution of light generated from a scintillator interacting with a gamma ray. In the flood image, the top layer was able to acquire the image at the position similar to the position of the bottom layer because the bottom layer consist of the pixellated scintillator. By using the Anger algorithm, the 16 channel signal was reduced to 4 channels to facilitate the analysis of the signal characteristics. The layer discrimination was measured using a simple algorithm and the accuracy was about 84% for each layer. When this detector module is used in preclinical PET, the spatial resolution at the outside of the field of view can be improved by measuring the DOI.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristic change of piggery slurry during the storage time and depth. The Piggery slurry was settled in a 10.0m diameter$\times$3.0m high storage tank for 6 months and then divided into three layers according to the storage time. The pollutants concentration, BODs(Biochemical Oxygen demand), CO $D_{Mn}$ (Chemical Oxygen demand) and SS(Suspended Solids) of the piggery slurry used in this study were 25,134, 15,840, 23,800mg/$\ell$, respectively. The initial fertilizer content of piggery slurry, N(Nitrogen), $P_2$ $O_{5}$(Phosphoric acid) and $K_2$O(Potassium oxide), were 0.69, 0.33, 0.40%, respectively. 6 months later, BO $D_{5}$, CO $D_{Mn}$ and SS of the Piggery slurry were 16,040, 8,098, 3,300mg/$\ell$ in top layer, 15,806, 8,309, 5,900mg/$\ell$ in middle layer and 39,530, 23,958, 51,000mg/$\ell$ in bottom layer, respectively. The fertilizer content of piggery slurry after 6 months, N, $P_2$ $O_{5}$ and $K_2$O, were 0.47, 0.07, 0.46% in top layer, 0.43, 0.08, 0.47% in middle layer and 0.60, 0.44, 0.40% in bottom layer, respectively. Consequently, in course of storage time, the pollutant concentration and fertilizer content were the highest in the bottom layer compared with the top and middle layer.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a two-terminal tandem solar cell depends upon the tunnel-recombination junction (TRJ) between the top and bottom sub-cells. An optimized TRJ in a tandem cell helps improve its open-circuit voltage (V_oc), short-circuit current density (J_sc), fill factor (FF), and efficiency (PCE). One of the parameters that affect the TRJ is the buffer layer thickness. Therefore, we investigated various TRJs by varying the thickness of the buffer or intermediate layer (TRJ-buffer) in between the highly doped p-type and n-type layers of the TRJ. The TRJ-buffer layer was p-type nc-Si:H, with a doping of 0.06%, an activation energy (E_a) of 43 meV, an optical gap (E_g) of 2.04 eV, and its thickness was varied from 0 nm to 125 nm. The tandem solar cells we investigated were a combination of a heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) bottom sub-cell and an a-Si:H (amorphous silicon) top sub-cell. The initial cell efficiency without the TRJ buffer was 7.65% while with an optimized buffer layer, its efficiency improved to 11.74%, i.e., an improvement in efficiency by a factor of 1.53.

This is green roof bottom system which composed by aluminum valve and glass fiber together as major reinforcement, so the cooper sheet can have root proof, and using recycled tire gel-type membrane waterproofing system which dost not contains VOCs. The copper sheet reduce the plants' root growing, so it helpes to maintain the waterproofing layer and stability of root proofing. Gel type membrane waterproofing system can do waterproofing, stress dispersion, and reducing leakage expansion. So those two materials can help each other to make green roof bottom layer would have the stability and durability.

In this study, Allied Signal 211 SOG was used as a sacrificial material. After researching its etching properties, we adapted it to bottom-drive micrometers. SOG was superior etch rate and roughness to them of PSG or CVD-oxide and possible to low-temperature processing. Etching properties of SOG depended on the temperature and duration of its bake and cure. SOG used in the fabrication of bottom-drive micrometers showed us usefulness as a sacrificial layer and haying a least influence on machines on it in comparison with conventional sacrificial materials.

A theoretical study is made of the flow in a confined cylindrical container with differential rotating top and bottom disks. Two kinds of theoretical solution for the azimuthal velocity were obtained: one is an exact solution of Bessel function type and the other is an approximate solution of exponential function type which comes from WKB approximation. Both theoretical solutions are shown to be self consistent with each other as well as a good agreement with previous studies. Moreover, in a range of relatively low Reynolds number, the obtained solution of Bessel function type shows better result than previous solutions.

The effect of hydrogen in the alumina gate insulator on the bottom gate oxide thin film transistor (TFT) with an InGaZnO film as the active layer was investigated. TFT with more H-containing alumina films (TFT A) fabricated via atomic layer deposition using a water precursor showed higher stability under positive and negative bias stresses than that with less H-containing alumina deposited using ozone (TFT B). While TFT A was affected by the pre-vacuum annealing of GI, which resulted in $V_{th}$ instability under NBS, TFT B did not show a difference after the pre-vacuum annealing of GI. All the TFTs showed negative-bias-enhanced photo instability.

Chilli reservoir is agricultural purpose reservoir made in 1945. But its bottom is covered with thick accumulated sewage layer, so its original function has failed. This study conducted cadastral state surveying to survey the state of this area prior to dredging the accumulated bottom sewage layer of Chill reservoir. Prior to cadastral state surveying we analyzed the digital map and aerial photographs of study area. In cadastral state surveying, traversed network was constructed on the road and banks near the reservoir, a surveyed map was made by surveying with Auto-reduction EDM Alidade. From the comparison results of the cadastral map and digital map, we found small chilli reservoir is expressed as rice field on the digital map, and it should be corrected. And when we make digital map and topographic map, the errors will be diminished if we use the cadastral map at the same time.
