$Li_2Sr_{1-x}Eu_xSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}$ ($Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}:Eu^{2+}$) phosphors were synthesized by using a solid state reaction (SSR) method with submicron $Si_3N_4$ and nano $Si_3N_4$ powders as the sources of Si and N, and the optical properties of those phosphors were studied. The studied phosphors showed efficient excitation characteristics over the broad range from 230 to 530 nm. Also, They showed broad emission spectra covering a range from 500 to 700 nm, with a peak at 568 nm, which was shifted longer wavelength by 18 nm as compared with that of commercial $YAG:Ce^{3+}$. Combined with a 450 nm blue LED chip, the results support the application of the $Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor as a luminescent material for a white-light source thaat is warmer than the commercial $YAG:Ce^{3+}$ white-light source. In addition, the $Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}$ phosphors prepared from a submicron $Si_3N_4$ powder was found to emit a previously unreported self-activated luminescence in $Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}$.

The computational efficiency of reverse time migration (RTM) based on numerical modeling is not secured due to the high-frequency band of several hundred Hz or higher for data acquired through a three-dimensional (3D) ultra-high-resolution (UHR) seismic survey. Therefore, this study develops an RTM program to derive high-quality 3D geological structures using UHR seismic data. In the traditional 3D RTM program, an excitation amplitude technique that stores only the maximum amplitude of the source wavefield and a domain-limiting technique that minimizes the modeling area where the source and receivers are located were used to significantly reduce memory usage and calculation time. The program developed through this study successfully derived a 3D migration image with a horizontal grid size of 1 m for the 3D UHR seismic survey data obtained from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources in 2019, and geological analysis was conducted.

Fluorescence characteristic and amino acids composition of organic matter were determined from extracted seawater samples at eight stations in the East Sea of Korea. Organic compounds have been extracted onto C-18 Sep-Pak cartridges. Three dimensional excitation/emission fluorescence contouring of extracts showed two markedly distinct characterized fluoroscopies representing protein-like biomacromolecule and humic-like geomacromolecule. Protein-like biomacromolecule showing fluorescence maxima at 280 nm/330 nm (excitation/emission) were abundant in the surface mixed layer and then apparently decreased below the thermocline at most stations. It suggests that source of biomacromolecule is comely related with vigorous biological synthetic activity in the surface layer and bacteria decompose its biologically labile components near the thermocline and in the deeper layer. On the other hand, humiliate geomacromolecule showing fluorescence maxima at 330 nm/430 nm (excitation/emission) were low in the surface mixed layer implying photochemical oxidation and then increased below the thermocline at most stations. It suggests that geomacromolecule might be transformed by condensation of bio-refractoryorganic fraction after decomposition of biomacromolecule and particulate organic carbon derived from the surface mixed layer. HPLC measurements of amino acids showed similar composition between seawater and extracted organic macromolecule after hydrolysis. Glycine, serine and alanine were predominant, accounting for more than 50% of total amino acids. Dissolved free amino acids of seawater were more abundant in the surface layer(0.7∼1.8 uM) than the deeper layer (0.2∼0.4 uM). D/L racemic ratio of alanine of extracted organic matter showed lower value in the surface layer than the deeper layer. It suggests that biomacromolecule predominant in the surface layer is relatively young, rapidly recycling and biologically labile.

A direct and simultaneous method to determine the $SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ in zircon sand of raw mineral and its treated one were studied by optical emission spectrometer using DC arc source. The synthetic standard was prepared by mixing with pure metal oxide, and it was diluted with buffer(graphite) and flux($Li_2B_4O_7$). The mixing ratio of buffer and flux and its dilution ratio to sample was investigated in order to choose the best excitation conditions. The optimum mixing and dilution ratios were 0.22:1 and 40, and the standard deviations of analytical results were 1.9% for $SiO_2$ and 4.7% for $ZrO_2$.

Multi-spectral analyses of excitation and emission fluorescence was applied to spilled crude oils in characterization of their specific fluorescence patterns which is called oil fingerprints. In the present study, oil fingerprints of 33 crude, 4 fuel and 2 other oils were analyzed to establish data base library search system. Cluster analysis showed that crude oils could be classified into two large groups according to their fluorescence characteristics. In simulated experiments, all the spilled sources was identifiable by the present library search system. In the natural environment this system could identify the exact source of weathered crude oil slicks upton 10 days. The present study shows that the fluorescence fingerprinting method with the library search system is reliable and superior to toutine GC/HPLC analyses in identification of the source of weathered spilled oils in the marine environment.

Optical Emission Spectroscopy(OES) is a very important technology for real-time monitoring of plasma in a reactor during dry etching process. OES technology is non-invasive to the plasma process. It can be used to collect information on excitation and recombination between electrons and ions in the plasma. It also helps easily diagnose plasma intensity and monitor end-point during plasma etch processing. We studied high density planar inductively coupled BCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$/Ar plasma with an OES as a function of processing pressure, RIE chuck power, ICP source power and gas composition. The scan range of wavelength used was from 400 nm to 1000 nm. It was found that OES peak Intensity was a strong function of ICP source power and processing pressure, while it was almost independent on RIE chuck power in BCl$_3$-based planar ICP processes. It was also worthwhile to note that increase of processing pressure reduced negatively self-induced dc bias. The case was reverse for RIE chuck power. ICP power and gas composition hardly had influence on do bias. We will report OES results of high density planar inductively coupled BCl$_3$ and BCl$_3$/Ar Plasma in detail in this presentation.

$N_2$ has been one of the most useful gases in industrial application, for example, plasma ashing, surface cleaning and decomposition of pollution gases. In order to clarify $N_2$ plasma properties and increase practical applications, many experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out until now on. In this papa, we examined the characteristics of $N_2$ RF Plasmas using one-dimensional fluid model. $N_2$ plasmas showed a double-layer structure in both sheath regions as the power source voltage becomes higher. Generally, a double-layer structure should be showed in electro-negative plasmas, but not in electro-postive plasmas such as $N_2$ discharge. However, most electrons in $N_2$ plasmas lost their energy by many excitation reactions in the near of both electrodes where electron collisions were actively executed and such continuous reactions during an RF period made this structure strong with increase of the power source voltage. The dependence of $N_2$ plasma properties on pressure was also discussed.

The organic light emitting diode (OLED) is proposed as the novel source in the microchip because it has ideal merits (various wavelengths, thin-film structure and overall emitting) for the integration. In this paper, we fabricated the finger-type pin photodiodes for fluorescence detection and the advanced microchip with OLED integrated pn the microchannel. The finger-type in the diode design extended the depletion region and reduced the internal resistance about 31.2% than rectangular-type. The photodiodes had a 100pA leakage current and a 8720 sensitivity $(I_{Light}/I_{Dark})$ at -1 V bias. The interference filter with 32 layers ($SiO_2$, $TiO_2$) was directly deposited on the photodiode. The OLED was fabricated on the ITO coated glass and was bonded with LOC. The application of thin-film OLED increased the excitation efficiency and simplified the integration process extremely. The prototype device of this application had a superior sensitivity of 100nM-LOD in the fluorescence detection.

Among the various elements affecting a customer's evaluation of automobile quality, buzz, squeak and rattle (BSR) are considered to be major factors. In most vehicle manufacturers, the BSR problems are solved by find-fix method with the vehicle road test, mainly due to various excitation sources, complex generation mechanism and subjective response. The aim of this paper is to develop the integrated experimental method to systematically tackle the BSR problems in early stage of the vehicle development cycle by resolving these difficulties. To achieve this aim, the developed experimental method ought to include the following requirements: to find and fix the BSR problem for modules instead of a full vehicle in order to tackle the problem in the early stage of the vehicle development cycle; to develop the exciter system including the zig and road-input-signal reproducing algorithm; to automatically localize the source region of BSR; to develop sound quality index that can be used to assess the subjective responses to BSR. Also, the BSR sound quality indexes based on the Zwicker's sound quality parameters using a multiple regression analysis. The four sound metrics from Zwicker's sound quality parameter are computed for the signals recorded for eight BSR noise source regions localized by using the acoustic-field visualized results. Then, the jury test of BSR noise are performed for participants. On a basis of the computed sound metrics and jury test result, sound quality index is developed to represent the harsh of BSR noise. It is expected that the developed BSR detection system and sound quality indexes can be used to reduce the automotive interior BSR noise in terms of subjective levels as well as objective levels.

The confocal laser scanning microscopy and two-photon microscopy was implemented based on a single laser source and an objective lens. We imaged and compared the morphology of identical sites of ex vivo human skin using both microscopes. The back-scattering emission from the sample provided the contrast for the confocal microscopy. The intrinsic autofluorescence and the second harmonic generation were used as the luminescence source for the two-photon microscopy. The wavelength of the Ti:Sapphire laser was tuned at 710 nm, which corresponds to the excitation peak of NADH and FAD in skin tissue. The various cell layers in the epidermis and the papillary dermis were clearly distinguished by both imaging modalities. The two-photon microscopy more clearly visualized the intercellular region and the nucleus of the cell compared to the confocal microscopy. The fibrous structures in the dermis were more clearly resolved by the confocal microscopy. Numerous cells in papillary dermal layer, as deep as $100\;{\mu}m$, were observed in both CLSM and two-photon microscopy. While most previous studies focused on fibrous structure imaging (collagen and elastin fiber) in the dermis, we demonstrated that the combined imaging with the CLSM and two-photon microscopy can be applied for the non-invasive study of the population, distribution and metabolism of papillary dermal cells in skin.
