  • 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 효율을 향상시킨 시뮬레이션 기반의 아날로그 셀 합성기법을 제안한다. 아날로그 셀을 계층적으로 합성하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 기반으로 전류미러, 차동입력단 등 각각의 부회로(sub circuit) 생성기들을 개발하였다. 이 부회로 생성기들을 모듈화 시키고 계층화시킴으로써 OTA(operational transconductance amplifier)나 2단(2-stage) OP-AMP, 비교기(comparator)등 일반적인 아날로그 셀들의 합성을 위하여 사용될 수 있게 하였다. 시뮬레이션 기반의 합성 시간을 줄이기 위하여 2단계 탐색 기법 (2-stage searching scheme)과 시뮬레이션 데이터 재사용기법(simulation data reusing scheme)을 제안하여 적용하였다 아날로그 셀(OTA) 합성 시 301.05sec에서 56.52sec로 최고 81.2%의 합성 시간을 줄이므로 시뮬레이션 기반의 회로 합성시 긴 합성시간의 문제를 해결하였다. 개발한 합성기는 SPICE의 모델 파라미터외에 추가적인 물리적 파라미터들을 필요로 하지 않으며 공정이나 SPICE 모델 레벨(level)에 독립적이기 때문에 새로운 공정에 적용할 때 필요한 준비 시간이 최소화되었다. 본 논문에서는 OTA와 2단 OP-AMP를 각각 합성하여 제안하는 합성기법의 유용성을 입증하였다.

  • 외부 광귀환이 있는 레이저 다이오드의 혼돈특성에 관해 고찰하였다. Fabry-Perot 공진기 형태의 레이저에 외부 거울에 의한 광귀환을 가정하였으며 파장 $1.3{\mu}m$의 "InGaAsP" buried-hetero structure 레이저에 $1.3J_{th}$의 전류가 인가되었을 때를 모의전산 하였다. 광귀환계수 K의 증가량에 따라 다음의 네단계로 진화현상을 보이고 있다. (1)광귀환계수 K가 아주 작을 때는 시간이 지남에 따라 이완발진은 감쇄되고, 정상 상태에 도달하여 안정된 동작특성을 보인다. (2)K가 조금 증가하면 이완발진은 감쇄되지 않고 주기적인 발진을 유지하기 시작한다. (3)K가 더욱 증가하면 발진의 폭은 증가하고 발진형태의 주기는 길어진다. (4)K가 매우 증가하면 발진형태는 안정을 잃고 coherence collapse 상태에 도달한다.

  • Memristor devices are one of the most promising candidate approaches to next-generation memory technologies. Memristive switching phenomena usually rely on repeated electrical resistive switching between non-volatile resistance states in an active material under the application of an electrical stimulus, such as a voltage or current. Recent reports have explored the use of variety of external operating parameters, such as the modulation of an applied magnetic field, temperature, or illumination conditions to activate changes in the memristive switching behaviors. Among these possible choices of signal controlling factors of memristor, photon is particularly attractive because photonic signals are not only easier to reach directly over long distances than electrical signal, but they also efficiently manage the interactions between logic devices without any signal interference. Furthermore, due to the inherent wave characteristics of photons, the facile manipulation of the light ray enables incident light angle controlled memristive switching. So that, in the tautological sense, device orienting position with regard to a photon source determines the occurrence of memristive switching as well. To demonstrate this position controlled memory device functionality, we have fabricated a metal-semiconductor-metal memristive switching nanodevice using ZnO nanorods. Superhydrophobicity employed in this memristor gives rise to illumination direction selectivity as an extra controlling parameter which is important feature in emerging. When light irradiates from a point source in water to the surface treated device, refraction of light ray takes place at the water/air interface because of the optical density differences in two media (water/air). When incident light travels through a higher refractive index medium (water; n=1.33) to lower one (air; n=1), a total reflection occurs for incidence angles over the critical value. Thus, when we watch the submerged NW arrays at the view angles over the critical angle, a mirror-like surface is observed due to the presence of air pocket layer. From this processes, the reversible switching characteristics were verified by modulating the light incident angle between the resistor and memristor.

  • Background: Cooking temperature and consequently doneness of beef muscles are most important for the palatability and consumer acceptability. Current study assessed the response of mechanical texture of Hanwoo muscles as a function of cooking temperature at different ageing days. Six muscles (Psoas major (PM), Longissimus thoracics (LT), Gluteus medius (GM), Semimembranosus (SM), Biceps femoris (BF) and Triceps brachii (TB)) were collected from each 10 Hanwoo steers. Warner-Bratzler WB-shear force (WBSF) and texture profile analysis (TPA) texture profiles were determined after 3 or 21 days of chiller, and randomly assigned to four groups; non-cooked, cooked at 55, 70 or $85^{\circ}C$. Results: Toughness of WBSF and TPA hardness of Hanwoo muscles were presence in the order of LT = PM = GM = SM < BF = TB (p < 0.001) for non-cooked raw muscle, and PM < LT = GM = SM < TB=BF (p < 0.001) for cooked meat aged for 3 days. WBSF linearly increased in 3 days aged meats after cooked at a higher temperature (P < 0.05). On the other hand, toughening of the muscles were significantly (P < 0.05) differed at various temperature when muscles were aged for 21 days. WBSF of PM and LT muscles were significantly increased at a higher cooking temperature, while other muscles (i.e., GM, SM, BF, TB) showed the lowest values at $70^{\circ}C$. In the case of TPA hardness, the effect of cooking temperature was very less in the toughness of the muscle (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, these findings clearly showed that the toughness of the muscle highly depends and varies upon the temperature and ageing of the muscle. Moreover, the effect of cooking temperature was very limited on aged muscles. The results mirror the importance of cooking temperature for objective measurements which ultimately estimate sensory tenderness and other quality traits.

  • To investigate the usefulness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for imaging lymphedema, we directly compared it to other histological methods in a mouse model of lymphedema. We performed detailed imaging of the lymphedema lesion on a mouse tail. We imaged the mouse tail in vivo with OCT and created histopathological samples. We constructed a spectrometer-based OCT system using a fiber-optic Michelson interferometer. The light was directed to 50:50 couplers that split the light into reference and sample arms. Backscattered light from a reference mirror and the sample produced an interference fringe. An OCT image of the lymphedema model revealed an inflammatory reaction of the skin that was accompanied by edema, leading to an increase in the light attenuation in the dermal and subcutaneous layers. Similar to OCT image findings, histological biopsy showed an inflammatory response that involved edema, increased neutrophils in epidermis and subdermis, and lymphatic microvascular dilatation. Furthermore, the lymphedema model showed an increase in thickness of the dermis in both diagnostic studies. In the mouse tail model of lymphedema, OCT imaging showed very similar results to other histological examinations. OCT provides a quick and useful diagnostic imaging technique for lymphedema and is a valuable addition or complement to other noninvasive imaging tools.

  • This paper analyzes the relationship of international exchange of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) at the time of Myung and Chung Dynasty, which is one of the most famous regional traditional medicine. The internal reason for the active exchange of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) throughout the ocean was that its major theories were mostly based on Confucianism, which was also the major current in Korea and Japan at the time. This leaded to active interchange between Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) of China and Japan and Korea. Secondly, the proliferation of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) was achieved with great help from developing printing operations at the time. Also, the active operation of practitioners of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) such as the attempt to advance to foreign countries along with the 徽州商人 offered an opportunity to introduce Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學). The international traits of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) can be easily proved by numerous quotes of its classics in many significant classics of Korea and Japan. The influence of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) to Korea started from the Chosun Dynasty; the Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine "東醫寶鑑" of Huh Jun and "麻科會通" of 丁若鏞 are the few examples of classics of Korea with quotes of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學). The influence of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) on Japanese medicine can be found much before, since Nanbeichao Dynasty. However, the time when many books were imported was during Myung and Chung Dynasty. Also, some of the classics of Medical School of Sin-an (新安醫學) mentioned in "醫籍考" remain only in Japan and not in China; this shows the active exchange between the two countries.

  • Composite column design is strongly influenced by the computation of the critical buckling load, which is very sensitive to the effective flexural stiffness (EI) of the column. Because of this, the behaviour of a composite column under lateral loading and its response to deflection is largely determined by the EI of the member. Thus, prediction models used for composite member design should accurately mirror this behaviour. However, EI varies due to several design parameters, and the implementation of high-strength materials, which are not considered by the current composite design codes of practice. The reliability of the design methods from six codes of practice (i.e., AS 5100, AS/NZS 2327, Eurocode 4, AISC 2010, ACI 318, and AIJ) for composite columns is studied in this paper. Also, the reliability of these codes of practice against a serviceability limit state criterion are estimated based on the combined use of the test-based statistical procedure proposed by Johnson and Huang (1997) and Monte Carlo simulations. The composite columns database includes 100 tests of circular concrete-filled tubes, rectangular concrete-filled tubes, and concrete-encased steel composite columns. A summary of the reliability analysis procedure and the evaluated reliability indices are provided. The reasons for the reliability analysis results are discussed to provide useful insight and supporting information for a possible revision of available codes of practice.

  • 태양전지에 소모되는 비용중의 30% 이상이 silicon 기판의 가공 및 silicon자체의 비용이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 비운을 절감하기 위해 silicon기판대신 STS 304를 사용하고자 한다. STS 304를 태양전지용 기판으로 사용하기 위해서는 고도천 연마된 표면을 필수조건으로 하기 때문에 STS 304에 전해연마를 실시하여 AFM으로 표면의 거칠기를 살펴보았다 또 한, 표면 조도의 향상을 위해 최적의 연마조건에서 leveller를 첨가하였다. 인산($H_3PO_4$)을 기본으로 한 전해연마액에 2A의 전류와 극간거리 0.7cm의 조건하에서 STS 304의 최적 전해연마조건을 찾기 위해 전해액의 온도는 $80^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C$, 연마시간은 3~2분간 전해연마를 실시하였다. 그 결과 2A/$cm^2$, $80^{\circ}C$, 10분에서 27.9nm의 표면조도를 보였으며, leveller로 사용된 glycerine, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol의 영향을 연구하였다. Leveller 중에서는 ethylene glycol을 0.4g/l 첨가하였을 때 표면조도가 약 15nm로서 그 효과가 가장 좋았다.

  • 본 논문에서는 1 ${\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용하여 LED 구동회로용 과열방지회로를 제안하였다. 제안하는 과열 방지회로는 $120^{\circ}C$에서 동작하며 $90^{\circ}C$에서 차단되도록 설계하였으며, 공정 오차에 따른 과열방지회로의 특성 변화가 많이 감소되었다. 세 가지 공정변화에 따른 특성 변화를 본 결과 제안하는 과열방지회로의 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존의 BJT 전류미러 방식의 과열방지회로보다 공정에 따른 온도변화가 약 7 % 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 가상의 LED 구동회로에 연결하였을 때 과열로부터 LED 구동회로를 보호하는 것을 확인하였다.
