현재 급속히 성장하고 있는 다양한 멀티미디어 응용 분야들은 기존의 MPEG-1 및 MPEG-2에서는 제공할 수 없는 객체 기반의 영상 표현 및 조작 등의 새로운 기능들을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 기능들을 수용하기 위해 표준화가 진행 중인 MPEG-4 비디오는 하나의 영상을 여러개의 객체들로 분할한 뒤 각각의 영상 객체들을 독립적으로 부호화 함으로써 각 객체에 대한 사용자의 용이한 조작을 허용한다. 반면에 MPEG-4 비디오의 복잡하고 융통성 있는 구조는 VLSI 기술을 이용한 전용 하드웨어의 구현을 매우 어렵게 하며, 프로그램이 가능한 범용 DSP로 구현할 경우에도 높은 압축율을 제공하기 위해 요구되는 많은 계산량으로 인해 성능면에서 큰 제약을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 많은 계산량을 요구하는 동시에 융통성 있는 구조를 갖는 MPEG-4 비디오 코덱을 구현하기 위한 방법으로 프로그램이 가능한 고성능 DSP와 많은 계산량이 요구되는 움직임추정 및 보상을 수행하기 위한 전용 칩으로 구성된 하드웨어 아키텍쳐를 제안한다.

The TX/RX broadband L-type circular polarization antenna using LTCC at K/Ka band has been presented. This antenna has been analyzed in compensation for LTCC with relative permittivity 5.2 and could have been integrated with RF component. As the measured 10dB impedance circular polarization bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 7%(20.8GHz${\sim}$22.2GHz) at the K band and 2.3%(30.9GHz to 31.6GHz) at the Ka band. Also the gain of the antenna is -0.7${\sim}$3.05dBi at the K band and -2.8${\sim}$1dBi at the Ka band. The purpose of the research is to design an efficient antenna structure for satellite communication at K/Ka band. the antenna should be used for both TX and RX frequency bands. The antenna will be mounted on LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) so that it can be integrated with other RF circuits. This research is important because of the following reasons. 1) The frequency ranges of satellite communication tends to move up to higher frequency such as Ka band or milimeter wave band. 2) Design of antenna for smaller size, lighter weight and less loss is preferred by most RF engineers. 3) Antennas on LTCC enables to integrate the antenna with other RF circuits, and thus, one can reduce the size and loss of the RF system.

The ecological changes in the ocean due to the drastic global warming require that action be taken to sustain the productivity of fisheries. Proper ocean facilities could help prevent the loss of the expenditures made on marine aquaculture and reduce the related compensation for various ocean conditions. The aim of this study was to develop a floating ocean wave-breaker using an eco-friendly concrete and conducting a site survey, a structural analysis, and a test of towing the tank. As a result, the wave at the fish farm would be reduced. The results of the holding power of anchors and the capability of moving the floating structures were considered in the design of the wave-breaker. The analyses of the material properties of concrete and the steel structures, as well as the CAPEX and OPEX analyses of the manufacturing and operation processes confirmed the superiority of the floating concrete wave-breaker. In particular, this study demonstrated that the concrete floating breakwater can protect the fish farm against typhoons and reverse-waves, thereby reducing losses of the fish.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of nurses' awareness of healthcare accreditation on their job stress and turnover intention. Methods: Across-sectional correlation study design was used. Participants consisted of 143 nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Seoul and Gyunggido, South Korea. Data were collected in October 2016 using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, an ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression in SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Awareness of health care accreditation correlated negatively with job stress (r=-.63, p<.001) and turn over intention (r=-.50, p<.001). Awareness of health care accreditation was the factor that most influenced job stress, explaining 38% of the variance (F=23.10, p<.001). Awareness of health care accreditation and duty pattern were the factors that most influenced intention to leave, explaining 32% of the variance (F=10.35, p<.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest raising nurses' awareness of certification systems to reduce their job stress and turnover intentions. It will be necessary to provide support for the aggressive work nurses do and improve their work structure, highlighting the need for both manpower and institutional support. Accordingly, providing regular education programs and appropriate compensation schemes, by raising nurses' awareness of medical institutions' certification systems, is necessary.

Acid deposition is one of the most serious environmental problems in ecosystems. The present study surveyed the effects of simulated acid rain on leaf litter mass loss and microbial community in the decomposing leaf litter of Sorbus anifolia in a microcosm at $23^{\circ}C$ and 40% humidity. Microbial biomass was measured by substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), and the microbial community structures were determined by composition of PLFAs at each interval of decomposition in litter sample and at each pH treatment. The microbial biomass showed peaks at mid-stage of decomposition, decreasing at the late stage. The leaf litter mass loss of S. anifolia decreased with decreasing pH during early and mid-decomposition stages; however the mass loss becomes similar between pH treatments at late-decomposition stage. The acidification remarkably lowers the microbial biomass of bacteria and fungi; however, microbial diversity was unchanged between pH treatments at each stage of litter decomposition. With changes of decomposition stage and pH treatment there were considerable differences in replacement and compensation of microbial species. Fungi/bacteria ratio was considerably changed by pH treatment. The PLFA profile showed significantly larger fungi/bacteria ratio at pH 5 than pH 3 at the early stage of decomposition, and the difference becomes smaller at the later decomposition stage. At low pH, pH 3 and pH 4, the fungi/bacteria ratios were stable according to the litter decomposition stages. Simulated acid rain caused decreases of 10Me17:0, 16:1${\omega}$7c, 18:1${\omega}$7, 15:0, but increase of 24:0. In addition, litter mass loss showed significant positive correlation with microbial biomass measured by SIR and PLFA on the decomposing leaf litter.

The effects of $Dy_2O_3$ and $Er_2O_3$ co-doping on electrical properties and temperature stability of barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) ceramics were investigated in terms of microstructure and structural analysis. The dielectric constant and the insulation resistance (IR) of 0.7 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ and 0.3 mol% $Er_2O_3$ co-doped dielectrics had about 60% and 20% higher than the values of undoped one, respectively, and the temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) met the X7R specification. The addition of $Dy_2O_3$ contributed to electrical properties caused by increase of tetragonality; however, preferential diffusion of $Dy^{3+}$ ions toward A site in $BaTiO_3$ grain exhibited an adverse effect on temperature stability by grain growth. On the other hand, The $Er_2O_3$ addition in $BaTiO_3$ could affect the TCC behavior and the IR with suppression of grain growth caused by reinforcement of grain boundary and electrical compensation. Therefore, the enhanced electrical properties and temperature stability through the co-doping could be deduced from the increase of tetragonality and the suppression of grain growth.

This article describes the characteristics of nondispersive infrared carbon dioxide gas sensor according to the temperatures and humidifies. In this researches, a thermopile sensor that included application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was used and the White-cell structure was implemented as an optical waveguide. The developed sensor modules were installed in gas chamber and then the temperature of gas chamber has been increased from 283 K to 313 K with 10K temperature step. In order to analyze the effects of humidity levels, the relative humidity levels were changed from 30 to 80%R.H. with small humidifier. Then, the characteristics of sensor modules were acquired with the increment of carbon dioxide concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm. When the initial voltages of sensors were compared before and after humidifying the chamber at constant temperature, the decrements of the output voltages of sensors are like these: 9mV (reference infrared sensor), 41 mV (carbon dioxide sensor), 2 mV (temperature sensor). With the increment of ambient temperature, the averaged output voltage of carbon dioxide sensor was increased 19 mV, however, when the humidity level was increased, it was decreased 14mV. Based upon the experimental results, the humidity effect could be alleviated by the increment of temperature, so the effects of humidity and temperature could be only compensated by the ambient temperature itself. The estimated carbon dioxide concentrations showed 10% large errors below 200 ppm, however, the errors of the estimations of carbon dioxide concentrations were less than ${\pm}5%$ from 400 to 2,000 ppm.

SiOC 박막의 유전상수가 낮아지는 원인에 대하여 굴절계수와 C-V 측정법을 이용하여 얻은 파라미터를 사용하여 연구되었다. SiOC 박막은 해리된 가스의 재결합을 통하여 이온결합에 의해서 형성된다. 전통적으로 유전상수는 굴절률의 제곱으로 얻을 수 있거나 혹은 금속/절연체/실리콘 구조에서 C-V 측정법을 이용하여 얻어진다. 유전상수는 이온과 전자 성분으로 이루어졌다. 그래서 이온과 전자성분을 포함한 SiOC 박막의 평균적인 유전상수에 대하여 조사되었다. 유전상수는 열처리 후 감소되었다. 증착한 박막은 대부분이 이온효과에 의하여 유전상수가 구성되는 경향성이 있으며, 반대로 열처리한 박막에서는 전자에 의한 효과가 컸다. 왜냐하면, 이온의 효과가 열처리에 의해 감소되기 때문이다. 결과적으로 열처리 공정을 통하여 SiOC 박막의 이온효과는 감소하고 전자의 효과는 증가된다는 것을 확인하였다.
