We present a new next-generation sequencing-based method to identify somatic mutations of lung cancer. It is a comprehensive mutation profiling protocol to detect somatic mutations in 30 genes found frequently in lung adenocarcinoma. The total length of the target regions is 107 kb, and a capture assay was designed to cover 99% of it. This method exhibited about 97% mean coverage at $30{\times}$ sequencing depth and 42% average specificity when sequencing of more than 3.25 Gb was carried out for the normal sample. We discovered 513 variations from targeted exome sequencing of lung cancer cells, which is 3.9-fold higher than in the normal sample. The variations in cancer cells included previously reported somatic mutations in the COSMIC database, such as variations in TP53, KRAS, and STK11 of sample H-23 and in EGFR of sample H-1650, especially with more than $1,000{\times}$ coverage. Among the somatic mutations, up to 91% of single nucleotide polymorphisms from the two cancer samples were validated by DNA microarray-based genotyping. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of high-throughput mutation profiling with lung adenocarcinoma samples, and the profiling method can be used as a robust and effective protocol for somatic variant screening.

The scour induced by strong currents and wave action decreases the embedded length of monopiles and leads to a decrease of their structural stability. The objective of this study is the development and consideration of scour-monitoring techniques for offshore monopile foundations. Tests on physical models are carried out with a model monopile and geo-materials prepared in a cylindrical tank. A strain gauge, two coupled ultrasonic transducers, and ten electrodes are used for monitoring the scour. The natural frequency, ultrasonic reflection images, and electrical resistivity profiles are obtained at various scour depths. The experimental results show that the natural frequency of the model monopile decreases with an increase in the scour depth and that the ultrasonic reflection images clearly detect the scour shape and scour depth. In addition, the electrical resistivity decreases with an increase in scour depth. This study suggests that natural frequency measurement, ultrasonic reflection imaging, and electrical resistivity profiling may be used as effective tools to monitor the scour around an offshore monopile foundation.

In this work, analysis of biocompatible TiO2 oxide multilayer by the XPS depth profiling was researched. the manufacture of the TiO2 barrier-type multilayer was accurately performed in a mixed electrolyte containing HAp, Pd, and Ag nanoparticles. The temperature of the solution was kept at approximatively $32^{\circ}C$ and was regularly rotated by a magnetic stirring rod in order to increase the ionic diffusion rate. The manufactured specimens were carefully analyzed by XPS depth profile to investigate the result of chemical bonding behaviors. From the analysis of chemical states of the TiO2 oxide multilayer using XPS, the peaks are showed with the typical signal of Ti oxide at 459.1 eV and 464.8 eV, due to Ti 2p(3/2) and Ti 2p(1/2), respectively. The Pd-3d peak was split into Pd-3d(5/2) and Pd-3d(3/2)peaks, and shows two bands at 334.7 and 339.9 eV for Pd-3d3 and Pd-3d5, respectively. Also, the peaks of Ag-3d have been investigated. The chemical states consisted of the O-1s, P-2p, and Ti-2p were identified in the forms of PO42- and PO43-. Based on the results of the chemical states, the chemical elements into the TiO2 oxide multilayer were also inferred to be penetrated from the electrolyte during anodic process.The structure characterization of the modified surface were performed by using FE-SEM, and from the result of biological evaluation in simulated body fluid(SBF), the biocompatibility of TiO2 oxide multilayer was effective for bioactive property.

Sub 100 nm의 Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) 소자를 구동하기 위해서는 2.0 nm 이하의 $SiO_2$ oxide에 해당하는 전기적 특성이 요구된다. 그러나 2.0 nm 이하의 $SiO_2$에서는 누설 전류가 너무 크기 때문에 이를 대체하기 위해서 유전 상수 (dielectric permittivity)가 높은 $HfO_2$ (${\varepsilon}=25$), $Al_2O_3$, $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$ laminate 등의 high-k dielectric 물질들이 연구되고 있다[1]. High-k dielectric 물질의 전기적 특성은 박막 조성, 두께 및 전극과의 계면에 생성되는 계면 층이나 불순물(Impurity) 거동에 크게 의존하므로 High-k dielectric/전극(Metal or Si) 구조에서 조성 및 불순물의 거동에 대한 정확한 평가가 주요 쟁점으로 부각되고 있다. 이를 평가하기 위해 일반적으로 $Ar^+$ ion에 의한 depth profiling 분석이 진행되나 Oxygen 원자의 선택적 식각에 기인된 분석 깊이 분해능(Depth Resolution) 왜곡으로 계면 층의 형성이나 불순물의 거동을 정확하게 평가할 수 없다. 이러한 예로는 $Ta_2O_5$ 및 $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$와 같은 다 성분 계 산화막에 $Ar^+$ ion 주사 시 발생하는 선택적인 식각(Preferential Sputtering) 때문에 박막의 실제 조성 및 거동을 평가하는 것은 어렵다고 보고된 바 있다[2,3]. 본 연구에서는 $90{\AA}$인 적층 $Hf_xO_y/Al_xO_y/Hf_xO_y$ 구조에서의 불순물 거동 분석 능력 확보 상 주요 인자인 깊이 분해능 개선을 Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy(SIMS)의 primary ion 종, impact energy 및 주사 각도를 변화시켜 ~1 nm 수준까지 구현하였다. 이러한 분석 깊이 분해능의 개선은 Low Impact Energy, 입사 이온의 glancing angle 및 Cluster ion 적용에 의존하며 이들 요인의 효과에 대해 비교/고찰하고자 한다.

Time-Of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) are the useful instruments to measure nanostructures of material surfaces. Surface pattern formation in blending homopolymer and diblock copolymer films was investigated as a function of film thickness and annealing conditions. In this study, surface structures of blending homopolymer [deuterated polystyrene (Mn 20,000), poly (methyl methacrylate) (Mn 18,000)] and diblock copolymer [Poly (deuteratedstyrene(d8)-b-methyl methacrylate) (Mn 19,500-18,100)] films were observed. The AFM result indicated that the nanostructures and film thickness depended on temperature, concentration and solvent. TOF-SIMS depth profiling was obtained for the lamellar morphology of symmetric dPS-b-PMMA which is found to orient parallel to the surface of the substrate. Elemental and molecular depth profiles measured in the negative ion mode by a Cs+ primary ion beam demonstrate variations in hydrogen, deuterium, carbon, oxygen, hydrocarbons and deuterated hydrocarbons within the diblock copolymer according to the depth.

This paper presents the operations of a multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) installed on the deep-sea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Hemire. Hemire explored hydrothermal vents in the Forecast volcano located near the Mariana Trench in March of in 2006. During these explorations, we acquired profiling points on the routes of the vehicle using the MBES. Information on the position, depth, and attitude of the ROV are essential to obtain higher accuracy for the profiling quality. However, the MBES installed on Hemire does not have its own position and depth sensors. Although it has attitude sensors for roll, pitch, and heading, the specifications of these sensors were not clear. Therefore, we had to merge the high-performance sensor data for the motion and position obtained from Hemire into the profiling data of the MBES. Then, we could properly convert the profiling points with respect to the Earth-fixed coordinates. This paper describes the integration of the MBES with Hemire, as well as the coordinate conversion between them. Bathymetric maps near the summit of the Forecast volcano were successfully collected through these processes. A comparison between the bathymetric maps from the MBES and those from the Onnuri Research Vessel, the mother ship of the ROV Hemire for these explorations, is also presented.

The relative composition of $Cu(InGa)Se_2$ solar cells is one of the most important measurement issues. However, quantitative analysis of multi-component alloy films is difficult by surface analysis methods due to severe matrix effect. In this study, quantitative depth profiling analysis of CIGS films was investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The compositions were measured by SIMS using the alloy reference relative sensitivity factors derived from the certified compositions and the total counting numbers of each element. The compositions measured by SIMS were linearly proportional to those by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) using isotope dilution method. In this study, the quantification measured by ICP-MS method is compared with the composition calculated by SIMS depth profiles with AR-RSFs obtained from the reference. The SIMS depth profile of CIGS thin films according to the manufacturing condition was converted into compositional depth profile.

호주 남부 부룩캉가지역의 폐광된 황철석광산의 광미댐 (Tailings Dam)에서는 광미와 지하수의 반응으로 황산이 형성, 배출되어 주변의 토양, 하천 및 지하수를 오염시키고 있다. 이와 같은 산성 폐수에 의한 환경오염 확산 방지를 위해서는 광미댐을 통하여 흐르는 지하수의 흐름경로를 파악하고 이를 감소시키는 노력이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지하수면 깊이의 변화를 파악하고 이를 통하여 지하수의 주 흐름경로를 확인하기 위하여 기존 유용광물 탐사에 주로 사용된 물리탐사방법들이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서 물리탐사방법으로는 시간영역 전자탐사 (TEM), DC 전기비저항탐사 그리고 자연전위 (SP)탐사법들이 사용되었다. SP법에 의하여 측정된 자연전위들은 매우 작았으며, SP자료해석만으로 주 지하수흐름의 경로규명이 어려웠다 TEM과 DC전기비저항 자료해석을 통하여 지하수면의 깊이를 정확하게 결정할 수 있었으며, DC 전기비저항법은 주로 10m내의 천부 대수층 구분에 유용한 반면에 TEM법은 성부구조 결정에 더욱 좋은 분해능을 보였다 TEM과 DC탐사자료들의 복합역산 (Joint Inversion)은 각각의 역산 (Inversion)보다 정확한 지전기적 (Geoelectric) 단면도를 제공하였으며, 물리탐사에 의하여 결정된 지하수면 깊이들은 각 측점에 설치된 관측공에서 피에조미터 (piezometer)에 의하여 측정된 지하수 수위와 거의 일치하였다. 모든 TEM 및 DC탐사 자료해석을 통하여 산출된 지하수 수위도는 탐사지역의 남동부에서 약 1m의 가장 얄은 수위를 나타나며, 반면에 가장 깊은 심도 (약 17 m)의 지하수 수위는 탐사지역의 북서부에서 위치하였다. 또한, TEM 및 DC탐사 자료해석에 의하여 산출된 탐사지역내의 대수층의 전기비저항 분포도에서는 높은 전기전도도의 대수층은 광미댐의 북동부에 존재하며, 가장 낮은 전기전도도를 갖는 대수층은 댐의 남동부에 분포하였다. 이와 같은 결과들로부터 오염이 되지 않은 신선한 (전기비저항이 높은) 지하수 유입의 근원은 광미댐의 남동부에 있음을 시사한다.

GaAs 등 화합물 반도체는 그 표면구조가 아직 확립되어 있지 않고, 표면조건이 소자특성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 소자공정중 이온주입 공정은 self-aligned MESFET(Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) 제작에 필수적인 기술이나, 이온 주입시 수 $\AA$ 크기의 vacancy 등 격자결함이 발생하며 이들 결함을 제어할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 에너지 가변 양전자 소멸기술은 표면에서 $1\mum$정도내에 존재하는 vacancy 형태의 격자결함을 감지해 낼 수 있으며 이들 격자결함의 depth profiling을 할 수 있는 기술이다. 본 고에서는 에너지 가변 양전자 소멸기술의 원리 및 최근 연구결과에 대해서 살펴보기로 한다.
