Water quality index (WQI) can be a great tool that allows experts to translate large amount of complex water quality data into a format more easily understood by the public and policy makers. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) can be calculated with the three factors (Scope: $F_1$, Frequency: $F_2$, Amplitude: $F_3$). After all, the WQI for a specific site is produced as a number between 0 to 100; the scale is also divided into five categories, i.e., Excellent, Good, Fair, Marginal and Poor. The WQI was found to be highly related to Chl-a, pH, temperature among the collected items. When the more input parameters were used, the range of variation generally became smaller. $F_3$ among the factors of WQI was influenced by algae. It showed a similar variation tendency between WQI and algal bloom in 2008.

A cellular power amplifier using an APCVD(Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition)-grown SiGe base HBT of ETRI has been designed with a linear simulation CAD. The Si/SiGe HBT with an emitter area of 2$\times$8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$typically has a cutoff frequency(f$_{T}$) of 7.0 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency(f$_{max}$) of 16.1 GHz with a pad de-embedding A packaged power Si/SiGe HBT with an emitter area of 2$\times$8$\times$80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$typically shows a f$_{T}$ of 4.7 GHz and a f$_{max}$ of 7.1 GHz at a collector current (Ic) of 115 mA. The power amplifier exhibits a Forward transmission coefficient(S21) of 13.5 dB, an input and an output reflection coefficients of -42 dB and -45 dB respectively. Up to now the III-V compound semiconductor devices hale dominated microwave applications, however a rapid progress in Si-based technology make the advent of the Si/SiGe HBT which is promising in low to even higher microwave range because of lower cost and relatively higher reproducibility of a Si-based process.ess.ess.

In this study, development of a new LTCC material using a non-glassy system was attempted with respect to reducing the fabrication process steps and cost down. Lowering the sintering temperature can be achieved by liquid phase sintering. For LTCC application, the starting material must have quality factor as high as possible in microwave frequency range. And also, the material should have a low dielectric constant for enhancing the signal propagation speed. Regarding these factors, dielectric constants of various materials were estimated by the Clausius-Mosotti equation. Among them, CaWO$_4$ was tamed out the suitable LTCC material. CaWO$_4$ can be sintered up to 98% of full density at 1200$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. It's measured dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 10.15, 62880GHz, and -27.8ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively. In order to modify the dielectric properties and densification temperature, 0.5∼1.5 wt% LiF were added to CaWO$_4$. LiF addition reduced the sintering temperature/time down to 800$^{\circ}C$/10∼30min due to the reactive liquid phase sintering. Dielectric constant lowered from 10.15 to 9.38 and Q x fo increased up to 92000GHz with increasing LiF content.

The structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) effect in adjacent structures may affect the liquefaction-induced damage of shallow foundation structures. The existing studies only analysed the independent effects on the structural dynamic response but ignored the coupling effect of height difference and distance of adjacent structures (F) on liquefied foundations on the dynamic response. Therefore, this paper adopts finite element and finite difference coupled dynamic analysis method to discuss the effect of the F on the seismic response of shallow foundation structures. The results show that the effect of the short structure on the acceleration response of the tall structure can be neglected as F increases when the height difference reaches 2 times the height of the short structure. The beneficial effect of SSSI on short structures is weakened under strong seismic excitations, and the effect of the increase of F on the settlement ratio gradually decreases, which causes a larger rotation hazard. When the distance is smaller than the foundation width, the short structure will exceed the rotation critical value and cause structural damage. When the distance is larger than the foundation width, the rotation angle is within the safe range (0.02 rad).

Etch characteristics of SF6/CI2 electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasmas have been investigated. Surface reaction of gas plasma with polysilicon was also analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). At the same time, the relationship between surface reaction and the etched profile of polysilicon was examined using XPS. The etch rate of polysilicon and oxide increases with increasing flow rate of SF6 in the SF6/CI2 gas mixture, and tis selectivity also increase also increase. It was also found that as increasing flow rate of SF6 in the SF6/CI2 gas mixture, the atomic% of chlorine detected at surface region decrease, but F and S contents increase. At the same time, when the mixing ratio of SF6 gas increases, the anisotropy of etched polysilicon is sharply decreased in the 0%~10% range of the SF6 mixing ratio, but is rarely varied in the range over 10%, in spite of the large variations in flow rates. It can be explained that the bonding of S-Si due to SiSx(x$\leq$2) compound formed on the etched surface suppress the formation of Si-Cl and 'or Si-F bonding in the silicon etching.

The mean perfusion pressure produced by 20 different design and size of disposable aortic perfusion cannulas [size range: 18F to 20F] at flow rates of 1 to 5 L/min was compared. A roller pump with perfusion tubing 10mm in inner diameter was used with a mixture of 0.9% normal saline and 100% glycerin [mixing ratio of 6.72:13.28] to make the viscosity as normal blood in 20oC as the test solution. Line pressure in these cannulas at a flow rate of 3L/min ranged from 13.2$\pm$4.47 to 157$\pm$1 34 mmHg in a case of absence of resistance, and from 11.4$\pm$1.14 to 227.2$\pm$4.47 mmHg in a case of presence of resistances 14 cannulas had gradients of less than 100Hg at a flow rate of 3L/min and 9 cannulas less than 100mmHg at 4L/min. The following results were obtained from this experimental study: .1] A wide range of line pressure was observed in disposable aortic perfusion cannulas currently in clinical use; 2] Some cannulas currently used for cardiopulmonary bypass in adults generated excessive line pressure; 3] Both the material and design affect function, with some designs safer than others. Cardiac surgeons should base the choice of aortic perfusion cannula on the best performance and safest design available to avoid cannula-related problems during operation.

This paper presents the measuring process of dynamic properties of offshore wind power foundation and provides consideration of each step. This Guideline enables to maintain consistent measuring procedure and therefore increase the reliability of test results. Small scaled suction bucket foundation was fabricated to represent the commercial support structure installation mechanism and two cases(free-free, free-fixed) of dynamic tests were performed at workshop. From the tests, the importance of dynamic properties of connection part between suction bucket and tower was figured out. More over, types and configuration of measuring devices are recommended which can help find the natural frequency of wind turbine foundation correctly. In field test, it was found that the natural frequency of suction bucket foundation was increased linearly with the penetration depth due to the confining effect of ambient soil. Meanwhile, it was not easy to get an enough excitation force with normal impact hammer because the N.F of suction bucket model was in the lower range of 0 Hz ~ 5 Hz. Therefore, new excitation method which has enough force and can excite lower frequency range was devised. This study will help develop safety check procedure of suction bucket foundation in field at each installation stage using the N.F measurement.

The iontophoretic delivery across rat skin of quaternary ammonium salts (isopropamide: ISP, pyridostigmine: PS), which are positively charged over a wide pH range, was measured ill vitro. The study showed that: (a) iontophoresis significantly enhanced delivery of ISP and PS compared to respective passive transport; (b) delivery of ISP and PS was directly proportional to the applied continuous direct current density over the range of $0-0.69\;mA/cm^2;$ (c) delivery of ISP and PS was also proportional to the drug concentration in the donor compartment over the range of $0-2{\time}l0^{-2}M:$ (d) sodium ion in the donor compartment inhibited the drug transport possibly due to decreasing the electric transference number of the drug; (e) delivery of ISP and PS increased as the pH of the donor solution increased over the pH range 2-7 suggesting permselective nature of the epidermis, and inhibition of the transference number of the drugs by hydronium ion; (f) some organic anions such as taurodeoxycholate, salicylate and benzoate which form lipophilic ion-pair complexes with ISP inhibited the delivery of ISP. The degree of inhibition by the organic anions was linearly proportional to the extraction coefficient $(K_e)$ of ISP from the partition system with each counteranion between phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and n-octanol. For PS, however, taurodeoxycholate, but not salicylate and benzoate inhibited the iontophoretic delivery. It suggests that not only sodium ion and hydronium ion but also the counteranions which form lipophilic ion-pairs with quaternary ammonium drugs are not favorable components in formulating the donor solution of the drugs to achieve an effective iontophoretic delivery.
