하천 합류부는 두 개의 수체가 만나 전단층을 이루고 전단층을 따라 강한 혼합양상을 보이는 특징이 있다. 자연하천에서 합류하는 대비되는 두 하천의 색은 전단층을 따라 구분될 수 있는데, 이는 위성 또는 무인항공체를 이용해 촬영된 항공영상을 통해 쉽게 관측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 취득 비용이 저렴한 RGB 항공 영상을 이용해 합류부에서 발생하는 전단층을 추출하고 전단층 주변의 기하학적 특성을 정량적으로 산정하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 방법은 네 단계로 구분된다. 첫 번째로, 합류부 흐름에서 전단층 추출을 위해 가우시안 혼합 모형을 바탕으로 한 영상 분할을 수행하여 본류와 지류가 포함된 픽셀을 추출해낸다. 다음으로 추출된 하천 수역에 자기조직화지도를 적용해 하천의유선을 1차원 곡선으로 단순화한다. 추출된 수체 영역과 1차원 곡선들을 이용해 본류와 지류의 수역을 이미지상 직교좌표계에서 곡선좌표계로 투영한 뒤, 마지막으로 전단층의 기하학적 특성을 산정한다. 결과적으로 개발된 전단층 추출법을 경상남도의 낙동강과 남강의 합류부가 촬영된 위성 영상에 적용하여 자연하천 합류부의 기하학적 특성인 합류각, 합류하는 두 하천의 상하류 하천 폭, 전단층의 길이, 그리고 전단층의 최대 두께를 각각 정량적으로 추출하는 데에 성공하였다.

Purpose: The subcutaneous fat tissue is separated into 2 layers by the subcutaneous fascia: the superficial and deep fat layers. The two fat layers have different structures according to the body regions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distribution and pattern of the two fat layers in the human body by computed tomography (CT) and histological analysis according to age, sex, anatomical region, and body mass index (BMI). Methods: This study included 200 males and 200 females who underwent 64-channel dynamic CT in our hospital. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to 10 years of their ages separately in either male or female gender. The thickness of the superficial and deep fat layers was measured in the abdominal, pelvic, and femoral regions, and we analyzed the values. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software. The $3{\times}3$-cm whole fat layers were harvested from the same sites of 3 cadavers for histological examination, and one cadaver was dissected for gross evaluation. Results: The total thickness of subcutaneous fat tissue was greater in females than in males, and the ratio of the superficial fat layer to the whole fat layer was higher in females. The superficial fat layer became thinner with increasing age in males. As BMI increased, the total fat layer became thicker, and the superficial fat layer became thicker than the deep fat layer. On histological examination, the superficial fat layer had small adipose lobules and showed a densely distributed pattern in the abdominal region, whereas in the femoral region, it had large adipose lobules and showed a sparsely distributed pattern. There were no significant differences in the histological findings of the deep fat layer between the 3 body regions. Conclusion: Significant differences in histological findings of the two fat layers were found in relation to age, sex, anatomical region, and BMI. The superficial fat layer became thinner with increasing age in males, but it was constant in females. As BMI increased, the total thickness of subcutaneous fat tissue became greater, and the superficial fat layer became thicker than the deep fat layer. Our measurements can be used to understand the characteristics of the fat layers in relation to age, sex, anatomical region, and BMI.

목적 : 사람에 비하여 크기가 현저히 작은 동물의 자기공명영상 촬영을 위하여 상용으로 인체에 적용하는 Head 코일보다 원통 반지름이 작은 Low-Pass Type Birdcage 코일을 제작함으로써 보다 큰 신호대잡음비 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio. SNR)를 얻고자 하였다. 방법 : 자기공명영상을 얻기 위해 Spin Echo 펄스시퀀스와 Fast Spin Echo 펄스시퀀스를 사용하였다. T1 강조영상을 얻기 위한 Spin Echo 펄스시퀀스의 매개변수는 TR/TE=300/17 ㎳, Matrix=256$\times$256, Field Of View (FOV)=150 mm, Slice Thickness=2 mm 이었다. T2 강조영상을 얻기 위한 Fast Spin Echo 펄스시퀀스의 매개변수는 TR/TE=3000/96 ㎳, Matrix=256$\times$256, Field Of View (FOV)=150 mm, Slice Thickness=2 mm 이었다. 원통의 지름이 13 cm인 Birdcage 코일은 12개의 elements로 구성되어 있으며 길이는 22 cm로 제작되었다. 결과 : 코일 원통의 반지름의 크기에 따른 SNR을 비교하기 위하여 인체용 Knee 코일과 동물용으로 제작된 코일을 이용하여 각각의 팬톰 영상을 획득하였다. 팬톰 영상으로부터 측정된 SNR의 값을 통해 반지름이 작은 동물용 코일의 SNR이 더 크다는 걸 확인할 수 있었다. 토의 및 결론 : 본 연구를 통하여 같은 형태의 Birdcage 코일일 경우 원통의 반지름에 따라 SNR이 다르며, 특히 반지름이 작을 때 SNR이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 코일의 크기에 비해 촬영하고자 하는 대상물의 부피가 작은 경우 대상물의 부피에 맞추어 코일을 제작하면 SNR이 보다 뛰어난 영상을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

호수, 저수지, 만 등의 사면에서 발생하는 산사태 및 토석류에 의해 유발되는 수면충격파의 전파는 복잡한 지형 조건에서 토석류와 물 흐름이 상호작용하는 3차원 자연현상이다. 이 연구에서는 3차원 다상 난류 흐름 해석을 위한 수치모형과 비뉴튼 유체인 토석류에 대한 유변학적 모형을 적용하여 만의 사면에서 발생한 산사태로 인한 수면충격파의 거동을 수치모의하였다. 수치해석 결과를 타 연구자의 수리실험 자료와 비교 분석하여 3차원 수치모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 수면으로 유입되는 토석류의 선단부 두께와 유속이 적절히 모의 된다면, 수면충격파의 정점부가 솟구치는 높이와 수면형은 매우 우수한 정확도로 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 토석류의 초기 형상을 다르게 설정한 두 가지 수치해석 결과는 연직상향으로 솟구친 수면충격파가 최고점에 도달한 후 중력에 의해 하강하면서 감쇄되는 단계에서부터 상이해지는 것으로 나타났다. 토석류 초기 두께를 상대적으로 크게 설정한 수치모의 결과는 만을 가로지르는 수면형과 함께 반대편 사면에서의 쳐오름 현상까지 양호하게 실험자료를 재현할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반대편 사면에 도달한 수면충격파가 사면을 거슬러 흐르는 최고 쳐오름 높이는 토석류 총량이 같은 경우 수면으로 유입되는 토석류의 초기 두께에 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 수로 바닥을 따라 전파되는 토석류의 전파 특성을 더 정확하게 재현하기 위해서는 실험에서 점토 성분이 없는 입자만을 이용하여 재현한 토석류 물질 특성에 맞는 유변학적 모형을 적용할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

Catalytic combustion is one of the suitable methods for micro power source due to high energy density and no flame quenching. Catalyst loading in the micro structured combustion chamber is one of the most important issues in the development of micro catalytic combustors. In this research, to coat catalyst on the chamber wall, two methods were investigated. First, $Al_2O_3$ was selected as a support of Pt and $Pt/Al_2O_3$ was synthesized through the alumina sol-gel procedure. To improve the coating thickness and adhesion between catalyst and substrate, heat resistant and water solvable organic-inorganic hybrid binder was used. Porous silicon was also investigated as a catalyst support for platinum. Through the parametric studies of current density and etching time, fabrication process of $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$ of diameter and about $25{\mu}m$ depth pores was confirmed. Coated substrates were test in the micro channel combustor which was fabricated by the wet etching and machining of SUS 304. Using $Pt/Al_2O_3$ coated substrate and Pt coated porous silicon substrate, conversion rate of fuel was over 95% for $H_2$/Air premixed gas.

The device coupling between the stacked top/bottom field-effect transistors (FETs) in two types of monolithic 3D inverter (M3INV) with/without a metal layer in the bottom tier is investigated, and then the regime of the thickness T_ILD and dielectric constant ε_r of the inter-layer distance (ILD), the doping concentration N_d (N_a), and length L_g of the channel, and the side-wall length L_SW where the stacked FETs are coupled are studied. When N_d (N_a) < 10¹⁶ cm^-3 and L_SW < 20 nm, the threshold voltage shift of the top FET varies almost constantly by the gate voltage of the bottom FET, but when N_d (N_a) > 10¹⁶ cm^-3 or L_SW > 20 nm, the shift decreases and increases, respectively. M3INVs with T_ILD ≥ 50 nm and ε_r ≤ 3.9 can neglect the interaction between the stacked FETs, but when T_ILD or ε_r do not meet the above conditions, the interaction must be taken into consideration.

A new method is introduced to build up organic/organic multilayer films composed of cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and negatively charged poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) using the spinning process. The adsorption process is governed by both the viscous force induced by fast solvent elimination and the electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged species. On the other hand, the centrifugal and air shear forces applied by the spinning process significantly enhances desorption of weakly bound polyelectrolyte chains and also induce the planarization of the adsorbed polyelectrolyte layer. The film thickness per bilayer adsorbed by the conventional dipping process and the spinning process was found to be about 4 ${\AA}$ and 24 ${\AA}$, respectively. The surface of the multilayer films prepared with the spinning process is quite homogeneous and smooth. Also, a new approach to create multilayer ultrathin films with well-defined micropatterns in a short process time is Introduced. To achieve such micropatterns with high line resolution in organic multilayer films, microfluidic channels were combined with the convective self-assembly process employing both hydrogen bonding and electrostatic intermolecular interactions. The channels were initially filled with polymer solution by capillary pressure and the residual solution was then removed by the .spinning process.

Gallium nitride (GaN), wide bandgap semiconductor, has attracted much attention because they are projected to have much better performance than silicon. In this paper, effects of design parameters change of GaN power static induction transistor (SIT) on the electrical characteristics (breakdown voltage, on resistance) were analyzed by computer simulation. According to the analyzed results, the optimization was performed to get power GaN SIT that has 600 V class breakdown voltage. As a result, we could get optimized 600 V class power GaN SIT that has higher breakdown voltage and lower On resistance with a thin (a several micro-meters) thickness of the channel layer.

Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) is considered as an excellent candidate to replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), which is widely used as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) for electronic devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells (OSCs). In the present study, AZO thin film was applied to the transparent electrode of a channel-shaped flexible organic solar cell using a low-temperature selective-area atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. AZO thin films were deposited on Poly-Ethylene-Naphthalate (PEN) substrates with Di-Ethyl-Zinc (DEZ) and Tri-Methyl-Aluminum (TMA) as precursors and $H_2O$ as an oxidant for the atomic layer deposition at the deposition temperature of $130^{\circ}C$. The pulse time of TMA, DEZ and $H_2O$, and purge time were 0.1 second and 20 second, respectively. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films were characterized as a function of film thickness. The 300 nm-thick AZO film grown on a PEN substrate exhibited sheet resistance of $87{\Omega}$/square and optical transmittance of 84.3% at a wavelength between 400 and 800 nm.

For optimal performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) requires hydration, and the membrane's conductivity depends on water content. A humidifier is required to ensure that the reactant gas, usually hydrogen and air, is hydrated before entering the fuel cell. Dry membrane operation or improper hydration causes performance degradation. Typically, the humidification of a fuel cell is carried out by means of an internal or external humidifier. A membrane humidifier is applied to the external humidification of transportation or residential power generation fuel cell due to its convenience and high performance. In this study, The experiments were constructed with a plate-type membrane humidifier in terms of geometric parameters and operating parameters. The results show that the temperature and pressure, the channel length, the membrane thickness and gas flow rate are critical parameters affecting the performance of the humidifier.
