CdTe as an absorber material is widely used in thin film solar cells with the heterostructure due to its almost ideal band gap energy of 1.45 eV, high photovoltaic conversion efficiency, low cost and stable performance. The deposition methods and preparation conditions for the fabrication of CdTe are very important for the achievement of high solar cell conversion efficiency. There are some rearranged reports about the deposition methods available for the preparation of CdTe thin films such as close spaced sublimation (CSS), physical vapor deposition (PVD), vacuum evaporation, vapor transport deposition (VTD), closed space vapor transport, electrodeposition, screen printing, spray pyrolysis, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and RF sputtering. The RF sputtering method for the preparation of CdTe thin films has important advantages in that the thin films can be prepared at low growth temperatures with large-area deposition suitable for mass-production. The authors reported that the optical and electrical properties of CdTe thin film were closely connected by the thickness-uniformity of the film in the previous study [1], which means that the better optical absorbance and the higher carrier concentration could be obtained in the better condition of thickness-uniformity for CdTe thin film. The thickness-uniformity could be controlled and improved by the some process parameters such as vacuum level and RF power in the sputtering process of CdTe thin films. However, there is a limitation to improve the thickness-uniformity only in the preparation process [1]. So it is necessary to introduce the external or additional method for improving the thickness-uniformity of CdTe thin film because the cell size of thin film solar cell will be enlarged. Therefore, the authors firstly applied the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to improving the thickness-uniformity of CdTe thin films with a G&P POLI-450 CMP polisher [2]. CMP process is the most important process in semiconductor manufacturing processes in order to planarize the surface of the wafer even over 300 mm and to form the copper interconnects with damascene process. Some important CMP characteristics for CdTe were obtained including removal rate (RR), WIWNU%, RMS roughness, and peak-to-valley roughness [2]. With these important results, the CMP process for CdTe thin films was performed to improve the thickness-uniformity of the sputtering-deposited CdTe thin film which had the worst two thickness-uniformities of them. Some optical properties including optical transmittance and absorbance of the CdTe thin films were measured by using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Varian Techtron, Cary500scan) in the range of 400 - 800 nm. After CMP process, the thickness-uniformities became better than that of the best condition in the previous sputtering process of CdTe thin films. Consequently, the optical properties were directly affected by the thickness-uniformity of CdTe thin film. The absorbance of CdTe thin films was improved although the thickness of CdTe thin film was not changed.

가뭄과 홍수의 예측, 기후변화가 유역 유출량, 더 나아가 수질 및 생태계에 미치는 영향의 정확한 분석을 위해서는 수문 모의 과정의 불확실성을 정량화하고 최소화하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 수문자료동화는 수문모형의 상태량이나 매개변수를 갱신(update)하여 모의 초기 조건의 가장 가능성 있는 추정치를 생성하는 기법으로, 실시간 관측 정보를 이용하여 예측 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 airGRdatassim 모형을 이용하여 앙상블 기반 순차 자료동화 기법인 앙상블 칼만 필터와 파티클 필터로 용담댐 유역에 대해 일 유출을 모의하고, 자료동화 기법별 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 모의 결과, Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE) 지표가 자료동화 적용 전 0.799에서 앙상블 칼만 필터와 파티클 필터 적용시 각각 0.826, 0.933으로 향상되었다. 또한 기상 강제력 노이즈의 범위, 갱신 대상 상태량 설정, 앙상블 수 등 수문자료동화의 설정과 관련된 하이퍼-매개변수(hyper-parameter)의 불확실성이 모의 예측 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 강수 및 잠재 증발산 강제력의 오차 범위에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 모든 모의 범위에서 파티클 필터가 앙상블 칼만 필터보다 예측 성능이 우수하였다. 파티클 필터는 기상 강제력 오차 크기가 작을수록 모의 성능이 향상되었으며, 앙상블 칼만 필터는 상대적으로 오차가 큰 경우 최적 성능이 확인되었다. 한편, 자료동화시 갱신되는 상태량의 종류를 줄일수록 자료동화에 의한 모의 성능은 감소하였다. 본 연구의 모의 실험 결과는 앙상블 자료동화를 이용하여 일 유출 모의 정확도 향상이 가능하지만, 최적 성능을 발휘하기 위해서는 수문자료동화 기법별 하이퍼-매개변수의 적정한 조정이 필요함을 함의한다.

Climatological, hydrological and planktonical research studies, measurements of primary production and photosynthetic efficiency from December 1976 to December 1978 have been carried out in two brackish lakes: Lake Etang de Berre and Lake Etang de Vaine located in the French Mediterranean coast, in the region of Carry-le-Rouet located on the north-west Mediterranean near Marseilles, and in fresh water inflows from 4 Rivers (Touloubre, Durance, Arc, Durancole) to Lake Etang de Berre. Physico-chemical parameters were measured for this study: water temperature, salinity, density, pH, alcalinity, dissolved oxygen (% saturation), phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate etc. Diverse biological parameters were also studied: photosynthetic pigments, phaeopigments, specific composition and biomass of phytoplankton, primary pelagic production etc. Climatical factors were studied: air-temperature, solar-radiation, evaporation, direction (including strength) of winds, precipitation and freshwater volume of the four rivers. The changes in Lake ‘Etang de Berre’ ecosystem depend on the quality of the water in the Durance River, and on the effects of seawater near the entrance of the Caronte Canal. The water quality of the lake varies horizontally and vertically as a result of atmospheric phenomena, maritime currents and tides. The distribution of water temperatures is generally heterogeneous. Southeasterly winds and the Northeasterly Mistral wind are important in the origins of circulated and mixed water masses. These winds are both frequent and strong. They have, as a result, a great effect on the water environment of Lake Etang de Berre. In theory, the annual precipitation in this region is well over eight times the water mass of the lake. The water of the Durance River flows into Lake Etang de Berre through the EDF Canal, amounting to 90% of the precipitation. However, reduction of rainfall in dry seasons has a serious effect on the hydrological characteristics of the lake. The temperature in the winter is partially caused by the low temperature of fresh water, particularly that of the Durance River. The hydrological season of fresh and brackish water is about one month ahead of the hydrological season of sea water in its vicinity. The salinity of Lake Etang de Berre runs approximately 3$\textperthousand$, except at lower levels and near the entrance to the Caronte Canal. However, when the volume of the Durance River water is reduced in the summer and fall, the salinity rises to 15$\textperthousand$. In the lake, the ratio of fresh water to sea water is six to one (6:1). The large quantities of seston conveyed by rivers, particularly the Durance diversion, strongly reduce the transparency in the brackish waters. Although the amount of sunshine is also notable, transparency is slight because of the large amount of seston, carried chiefly by Tripton in the fresh water of the Durance River. Therefore, photosynthesis generally occurs only in the surface layer. The transparency progressively increases from freshwater to open seawater, as mineral particles sink to the bottom (about 1.7kg $m^{-2}a^{-1}$ on the average in brackish lakes). The concentration of dissolved oxygen and the rate of oxygen saturation in seawater (Carry-le-Rouet) ranged from 5.0 to 6.0 $m\ell$ㆍ.$1^{-1}$, and from 95 to 105%, respectively. The amount of dissolved oxygen in Etang de Berre oscillated between 2.9 and 268.3%. The monographs of phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and silicate were published as a part of a study on the ecology of phytoplankton in these environments. Horizontal and vertical distributions of these nutriments were studied in detail. The recent diversion of the Durance River into Lake Etang de Berre has effected a fundamental change in this formerly marine environment, which has had a great impact in its plankton populations. A total of 182 taxa were identified, including 111 Bacillariophyceae, 44 Chlorophyceae, and 15 Cyanophyceae. The most abundant species are small freshwater algae, mainly Chlorophyceae. The average density is about $10^{8}$ cells $1^{-1}$ in Lake Etang de Berre, and about double that amount in Lake Etang de Vaine. Differences in phytoplankton abundance and composition at the various stations or at various depths are slight. Cell biovolume V (equivalent to true biomass), plasma volume VP (‘useful’ biomass) and, simultaneously. the cell surface area S and S/V ratio through the measurement of cell dimensions were computed as the parameters of phytoplankton productivity and metabolism. Pigment concentrations are generally very high on account of phytoplankton blooms by Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cryptophyceae. On the other hand, in freshwaters and marine waters, pigment concentrations are comparatively low and stable, showing slight annual variation. The variations of ATP concentration were closely related to those of chlorophyll a and phytoplankton blooms only in marine waters. The carbon uptake rates ranged between 38 and 1091 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with an average surface value of 256 mg; water-column carbon-uptake rates ranged between 240 and 2310 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with an average of 810, representing 290 mg$Cm^{-2}$, per year 45 000 tons per year of photosynthetized carbon for the whole lake. Gross photosynthetic production measured by the method of Ryther was studied over a 2-year period. The values obtained from marine water(Carry-le-Rouet) ranged from 23 to 2 337 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with a weighted average of 319, representing about 110 gCm$^{-2}$ per year. The values in brakish water (Etang de Berre) ranged from 14 to 1778 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with a weighted average of 682, representing 250 mg$Cm^{-2}$ per year and 38 400 tons per year of photosynthesized carbon for the whole lake.

본 연구는 왕겨 피복에 따른 만삼의 종자발아와 육묘에 미치는 트레이, 토양 및 차광처리 효과를 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 한 달 간 성장시킨 유묘를 경기도의 특정지역에 이식하여 재배 가능성 또한 살펴보았다. 그 결과 왕겨 피복 대조구의 발아율은 8%인 반면, 왕겨 피복 처리구의 발아율은 78%로 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. 트레이, 토양 및 차광을 달리한 조건에서 만삼의 생육특성은 차광 무 처리 트레이 50구 TKS 토양 처리구에서 초장 11.9 cm, 엽수 71매, 엽폭 3.1 cm, 엽장 2.6 cm 및 근장 14.3 cm로 가장 양호한 생육특성을 나타내었으며, 생리적 특성은 차광무 처리 TKS+펄라이트 처리구에서 증산량 3.9 $mmol{\cdot}m^{-2}s^{-1}$, 광합성능 9.1 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}s^{-1}$ 및 수분이용효율 2.2 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}s^{-1}$로 가장 양호하였다. 하지만 경제성, 생육 및 생리적 특성과 육묘기간의 생존율을 종합하여 고려하면 차광 무 처리 혹은 30% 차광조건에서 200구 트레이의 TKS 및 TKS+펄라이트 처리구에서 30~45일 간 육묘 후 포지에 이식하는 것이 적합 할 것으로 보여진다. 특히 경기도 지역에서 5 개월 간 재배 시 88~96%의 생존율과 개화까지 가능하여 경기도 지역에서도 만삼 재배의 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 하지만 재배 실험 시 차광 무 처리의 일부 개체는 황화 현상과 위조현상이 발생하였다. 따라서 만삼 재배에는 30% 및 70% 차광처리가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
