This paper describes a green stripping process to effectively strip the remaining DFR layer on a non-alkali-based ITO glass surface after an etching process. A stripper, water-soluble amine compound, is used to investigate the characteristics of stripping ability and to suggest a valid method for the green process. Increasing the composition (5-30% concentration) of the ethanol amine-based stripper was found to greatly reduce the stripping time applied in the dipping method. The composition (30%) achieved an excellent stripping effect and free-residue impurities. Additionally, it was possible to obtain the effect of stripping in a way to sustain the release before generating DFR sludge from the ITO glass surface by using dipping condition (stripping time) in the composition. An Additional stripping process (buffering) out of dipping can realize productivity improvement and cost reduction because of the higher proportion of re-use of the stripping solution used in the DFR removal step.

Bluetooth is a specification for short-range wireless communication using the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It emphasizes low complexity, low power, and low cost. This paper describes an area-efficient digital baseband module for wireless technology. For area-efficiency, we carefully consider hardware and software partitioning. We implement complex control tasks of the Bluetooth baseband layer protocols in software running on an embedded microcontroller. Hardware-efficient functions, such as low-level bitstream link control; host controller interfaces (HCIs), such as universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) and universal serial bus (USB)interfaces; and audio Codec are performed by dedicated hardware blocks. Furthermore, we eliminate FIFOs for data buffering between hardware functional units. The design is done using fully synthesizable Verilog HDL to enhance the portability between process technologies so that our module can be easily integrated as an intellectual property core no system-on-a-chip (SoC) ASICs. A field programmable gate array (FPGA) prototype of this module was tested for functional verification and realtime operation of file and bitstream transfers between PCs. The module was fabricated in a $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the core size of which was only 2.79 $mm{\times}2.80mm$.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-2 비디오 인코더를 ASIC 칩으로 구현할 때, 움직임추정기와 함께 대량의 하드웨어 영역을 차지하는 프레임메모리 인터페이스를 개선한 효율적인 구조를 제시한다. 이를 위해 비디오 인코더와 듀얼 뱅크를 가지는 외부 SDRAM 사이의 인터페이스를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있도록 메모리 맵을 구성하고 메모리 액세스 타이밍을 최적화하여 내부 메모리 크기와 인터페이스 로직을 줄였다. 본 설계에는 0.5 m, CMOS, TLM(Triple Layer Metal) 표준 셀 라이브러리가 사용되었으며, 하드웨어 설계 및 검증을 위해서 VHDL 시뮬레이터와 로직 합성툴이 사용되었고, 기능 검증을 위한 테스트 벡터 생성을 위해서, C 언어로 모델링한 하드웨어 에뮬레이터가 사용되었다. 개선된 프레임 메모리 인터페이스의 구조는 기존의 구조[2-3]에 비해 58% 정도의 면적이 감소했으며, 전체 비디오 인코더에 대해서는 24.3% 정도의 하드웨어 면적이 감소되어, 프레임메모리 인터페이스가 비디오 인코더 전체의 하드웨어 면적에 대단히 심각한 영향을 미친다는 것을 결과로 제시한다.

LSGM is known to show very serious interfacial reaction with other unit cell components, such as electrode, electrode functional or buffering layers. Especially, the formation of very resistive LaSr$Ga_{3}$$O_{7}$ phase at the interface of an anode and an electrolyte is the most problematic one in LSGM-based SOFCs. In this study, we investigated the interfacial reactions in LSGM-based SOFCs under different unit cell configurations. According to the microstructural analysis on the interfacial layer between an electrolyte and its neighboring component, serious interfacial reaction zone was observed. From the electrical and electrochemical characterization of the cell, we found such an interfacial reaction zone not only increased the internal ohmic resistance but also decreased the OCV(Open Cell Voltage) of the unit cell, and thus consequently deteriorated the unit cell performance.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures and caused by various factors and mechanisms. Malfunction of the olfactory bulb is frequently observed in patients with epilepsy. However, the morphological changes in the olfactory bulb during epilepsy-induced neuropathology have not been elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the expression of parvalbumin (PV), one of the calcium-binding proteins, and morphological changes in the rat main olfactory bulb (MOB) following pilo-carpine-induced status epilepticus (SE). Pilocarpine-induced SE resulted in neuronal degeneration in the external plexiform layer (EPL) and glomerular layer (GL) of the MOB. PV immunoreactivity was observed in the neuronal somas and processes in the EPL and GL of the control group. However, six hours after pilocarpine administration, PV expression was remarkably decreased in the neuronal processes compared to the somas and the average number of PV-positive interneurons was significantly decreased. Three months after pilocarpine treatment, the number of PV-positive interneurons was also significantly decreased compared to the 6 hour group in both layers. In addition, the number of NeuN-positive neurons was also significantly decreased in the EPL and GL following pilocarpine treatment. In double immunofluorescence staining for PV and MAP2, the immunoreactivity for MAP2 around the PV-positive neurons was significantly decreased three months after pilocarpine treatment. Therefore, the present findings suggest that decreases in PV-positive GABAergic interneurons and dendritic density in the MOB induced impaired calcium buffering and reciprocal synaptic transmission. Thus, these alterations may be considered key factors aggravating olfactory function in patients with epilepsy.

The expansivity of clayey soils is a complicated phenomenon which may affect the stability of geotechnical structures and geo-environmental projects. In all common factors for the monitoring of soil expansion, less attention is given to anion type of pore space solutions. Therefore, this paper is concerned with the impact of various concentrations of different inorganic salts including NaCl, $Na_2SO_4$, and $Na_2CO_3$ on the macro and microstructure behavior of the expandable smectite clay. Comparison of the responses of the smectite/NaCl and smectite/$Na_2SO_4$ mixtures indicates that the effect of anion valance on the soil engineering properties is not very pronounced, regardless of the electrolyte concentration. However, at presence of carbonate as potential determining ions (PDIs) the swelling power increases up to 1.5 times compared to sulfate or chloride ions. The samples with $Na_2CO_3$ are also more deformable and show lower osmotic compressibility than the other mixtures. This demonstrates that the barrier performance of smectite greatly decreases in case of anions with the non-specific adsorption (e.g., $Cl^-$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$) as the salinity of solution increases. Based on the results of the X-ray diffraction and sedimentation tests, the high soil volumetric changes upon exposure to carbonate is attributed to an increase in the repulsive forces between smectite basic unit layers due to the PDI effect of $CO{_3}^{2-}$ and increasing the pH level which enhance the buffering capacity of smectite. The study concluded that the nature of anion through its influence on the re-arrangement of soil microstructure and osmotic phenomena governs the hydro-mechanical parameters of expansive clays. It seems not coinciding with the double layer theory of the Gouy-Chapman double layer model.

본 논문에서는 철도차량의 이동성을 기반으로 MR의 핸드오프 때 발생할 수 있는 패킷손실량을 최소화하는 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 철도차량에 탑재된 MR은 기본적으로 고정된 AR 영역을 따라 이동한다. MR이 NAR로 이동하면. PAR은 MR의 HA로부터 전송받은 패킷을 자신의 HML에 따라 NAR로 전송시킨다. 그 후 NAR은 MR의 L3 핸드 오프과정이 마칠 때 까지 PAR로부터 전송받은 패킷을 버퍼링하게 된다. 이와 같은 절차에 따라 MR의 핸드오프 소요시간 동안에는 패킷의 손실을 최소화하게 되고, 아울러 인터넷 상에 불필요한 패킷이 발생하지 않게 된다. 성능분석 결과 제안한 방안은 NEMO Basic 방안과 Bi-casting 방안보다 효율적인 방안임을 확인할 수 있었다.

스마트폰 등의 무선 정보화 기기의 급속한 보급으로 IEEE 802.16e WiMAX와 같은 무선 고속데이터 망에 대한 수요가 늘고 있다. 데이터 수요의 대부분을 차지하는 모바일 어플리케이션들 중 상당수가 트랜스포트 계층으로 TCP를 사용하고 있는 상황에서 WiMAX 시스템의 TCP 성능개선은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 WiMAX 시스템에서 필연적으로 발생하는 업링크 패킷 버퍼링을 이용하여 효율적으로 ACK 패킷을 전송하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방식은 기존 ACK 필터링을 지원함과 동시에 이전에는 처리할 수 없었던 piggyback ACK 패킷들도 payload 병합을 통해 처리한다. 그 결과, 업링크 ACK 패킷 전송에 필요한 무선대역폭을 감소시킬 수 있어 다운링크 성능향상을 얻을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능평가에서 ACK 패킷 전송에 필요한 대역폭이 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A simple and cost effective method for separation and preconcentration of Ag(I) at the $10^{-7}\;mol\;L^{-1}$ level in the environmental and mineral samples is present. The method is based on the flotation of Ag(I)-iodide complex as an ion-associate with ferroin in pH of 4 from a large volume of an aqueous solution (500 mL) using nheptane. The floated layer was then dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for the subsequent spectrophotometric determination. Beer's law was obeyed over a range of 2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$-4.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$ mol $L^{-1}$ with the apparent molar absorptivity of 2.67 ${\times}$ $10^5$ L $mol^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$. The detection limit (n = 5) was 4 ${\times}$ $10^{-8}$ mol $L^{-1}$, and RSD (n = 5) obtained for 2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$ mol $L^{-1}$ of Ag(I) was 2.2%. The interference effects of a number of elements was studied and found that only $Hg^{2+}$ at low concentration, and $Pb^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$ ions at moderately high concentrations were interfered. To overcome on these interference effects, the solution was treated with EDTA at a buffering pH of 4 and passed through a column containing Amberlite IR-120 ionexchanger resin, just before the flotation process. The proposed method was applied to determine of Ag(I) in a synthetic waste water, a photographic washing sample and a geological sample and the results was compared with those obtained from the flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results were satisfactorily comparable with together, so that the applicability of the proposed method was confirmed in encountering with the real samples.
