TV 회의 시스템 또는 확성회의 시스템에 응용되는 반향제거기에 있어서, 긴 잔향시간을 갖는 실내 공간에서는 환경변화에 따른 필터계수의 갱신에 많은 시간이 필요하며 실시간 처리에 장애요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MPEG 오디오 시스템에서 이용하고 있는 폴리페이즈 필터 뱅크를 사용한 서브밴드 적응 신호처리법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 입력과 출력의 스펙트럼을 몇 개의 주파수 밴드로 분할하여, 각 밴드를 ES-NLMS 알고리즘을 이용하여 적응처리하는 것이다. 계산기상의 시뮬레이션을 통하여 최적의 서브밴드 수를 구하였으며, 기존의 풀밴드 방식에 대하여 수렴속도 및 제특성이 약 2dB 정도 작을때 서브밴드로 분할하는 방법이 연산량에 있어서 약 88% 정도 감소하여 풀밴드보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

유효 굴절을 전달 매트릭스 방법을 이용하여 위상 천이 회절격자 필터의 구조상의 비이상성의 영향을 살펴봄으로써 이 필터의 제작성을 검토하였다. 계산 결과, 위상 천이 오차나 회절결자 주기의 랜덤 변이는 이들 오차에 따른 공진 파장의 변화가 필터의 투과 대역폭 이내에 있어야 함을 알 수 있었다. ITU 기준에 따른 파장과 대역폭을 기준으로 할 때, 이는 상대 오차가 0.1% 이내여야 함을 의미하며, 이 정도의 허용 오차는 회절격자의 제작에 큰 부담으로 작용한다. 필터 끝면 반사는 투과대역의 ripple을 증가시키므로 ripple을 0.25dB 이하로 줄이려면 반사율이 1% 이하로 되어야 한다. 또 위상 천이 필터는 다중 반사에 따른 공진현상을 이용하기 때문에 도파로 손실은 증배되어 나타남을 보였으며, 도파로 손실이 1dB/cm로 낮아도 약 0.2dB의 투과 손실이 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 파장 다중화 방식 협대역 투과 필터를 설계하고 제작하는데 있어 기본 자료로서 중요한 의미를 가진다.

다층재료의 접합특성 평가는 오랫동안 많은 논의가 있어 왔는데, 본 연구에서는 후방복사 초음파 기술을 사용하여 여러 충이 있는 재료의 특성을 평가하기 위한 자동화된 시스템을 개발하고 스틸 판재와 고무가 접합된 스틸 판재의 후방복사 프로파일을 획득하였다. 후방복사의 rf 파형과 주파수 스펙트럼은 리키 램파 모드들의 특성을 나타내고 있다. 집합된 고무 두께의 증가에 따라 입사각이 $13.4^{\circ}$일 때의 후방복사 진폭이 지수적으로 감소함을 보이며 부분적으로 고무가 접합된 시편에서 선택되어진 입사각으로 입사위치를 바꾸어가며 스캐닝한 결과 정확하게 고무가 접합되어 있지 않은 지역을 결정할 수 있었다. 리키 램파에 의한 후방복사는 판재의 물성은 물론이고 다층 재료의 접합특성 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are known for irregular variability on all time scales, down to intra-day variability with relative variations of a few percent within minutes to hours. On such short timescales, unexplored territory, such as the possible existence of a shortest characteristic time scale of activity and the shape of the high frequency end of AGN power spectra, still exists. We present the results of AGN single-dish fast photometry performed with the Korean VLBI Network (KVN). Observations were done in a “anti-correlated” mode using two antennas, with always at least one antenna pointing at the target. This results in an effective time resolution of less than three minutes. We used all four KVN frequencies, 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz, in order to trace spectral variability, if any. We were able to derive high-quality light curves for 3C 111, 3C 454.3, and BL Lacertae at 22 and 43 GHz, and for 3C 279 at 86 GHz, between May 2012 and April 2013. We performed a detailed statistical analysis in order to assess the levels of variability and the corresponding upper limits. We found upper limits on flux variability ranging from ~1.6% to ~7.6%. The upper limits on the derived brightness temperatures exceed the inverse Compton limit by three to six orders of magnitude. From our results, plus comparison with data obtained by the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory, we conclude that we have not detected source-intrinsic variability which would have to occur at sub-per cent levels.

We report the performance of the 13.7-meter Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) radio telescope. The telescope has been equipped with a new receiver, SEQUOIA-TRAO, a new backend system, FFT2G, and a new VxWorks operating system. The receiver system features a 16-pixel focal plane array using high-performance MMIC preamplifiers; it shows very low system noise levels, with system noise temperatures from 150 K to 450 K at frequencies from 86 to 115 GHz. With the new backend system, we can simultaneously obtain 32 spectra, each with a velocity coverage of 163 km s^-1 and a resolution of 0.04 km s^-1 at 115 GHz. The new operating system, VxWorks, has successfully handled the LMTMC-TRAO observing software. The main observing method is the on-the-fly (OTF) mapping mode; a position-switching mode is available for small-area observations. Remote observing is provided. The antenna surface has been newly adjusted using digital photogrammetry, achieving a rms surface accuracy better than 130 ㎛. The pointing uncertainty is found to be less than 5" over the entire sky. We tested the new receiver system with multi-frequency observations in OTF mode. The aperture efficiencies are 43±1%, 42±1%, 37±1%, and 33±1%, the beam efficiencies are 45±2%, 48±2%, 46±2%, and 41±2% at 86, 98, 110, and 115 GHz, respectively.

The commercially available neutron survey meter, the REM500, which uses a tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) and the self-constructed TEPC were used to determine the microdosimetric quantities of several neutron calibration fields at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). Microdosimetric spectra, absorbed dose, dose equivalent as well as quality factor were derived and compared with several neutron fields which were produced by using the shadow objects to make neutron scattered and being used as a kind of realistic neutron calibration fields at KAERI. The response of REM500 as a function of mean energy was evaluated with these neutron fields using the counts measured and the predetermined reference value. The response of the self-made TEPC and the REM500 was compared using one of the neutron calibration filelds of a $^{252}Cf$ source. The reference quantities of scattered neutron calibration fields were determined using a Bonner Sphere (BS). The value of frequency-mean lineal energy, dose-mean lineal energy and quality factor of two $^{252}Cf$ sources (unmoderated and $D_2O$ moderated) were determined to check the differences in the reference neutron fields between KAERI and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL, USA) and the results were in good agreement within 1%. It means that there is no big difference in dosimetric quantifies of neutron calibration fields of two laboratories.

Label-free biomolecular assay based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanoparticles enables simple and rapid detection with the use of simple equipment. Nanosized metal nanoparticles exhibit a strong absorption band when the incident light frequency is resonant with the collective oscillation of the electrons, which is known as the LSPR. Here we demonstrate localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) substrates such as plasmonic Au nanodisks fabricated by a nanoimprinting process and gold nanorod-immobilized surfaces and their applications to highly sensitive and/or label-free biosensing. To increase detection sensitivity various bioreceptors weree designed. A single chain variable fragment (scFv) was used as a receptor to bind C-reactive protein (CRP). The results of this effort showed that CRP in human serum could be quantitatively detected lower than 1 ng/ml. Aptamers, which were immobilized on gold nanorods, were used to detect mycotoxins. The specific binding of ochratoxin A (OTA) to the aptamer was monitored by the longitudinal wavelength shift of LSPR peak in the UV-Vis spectra resulting from the changes of local refractive index near the GNR surface induced by accumulation of OTA and G-quadruplex structure formation of the aptamer. According to our results, OTA could be quantitatively detected lower than 1 nM level. Additionally, aptamer-functionalized GNR substrate was quite robust and can be regenerated many times by rinsing at 70 OC to remove bound target. During seven times of washing steps, the developed OTA sensing system could be reusable. Moreover, the proposed biosensor exhibited selectivity over other mycotoxins with an excellent recovery for detection in grinded corn samples, suggesting that the proposed LSPR based aptasensor plays an important role in label-free detection of mycotoxins.

Objectives : Human physiological changes in the state of qigong has been measured using EEG(Electroencephalography), functional MRI(functional Magnetic Resonance Image), EAV(Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll) and SQUID(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) measurements. Methods & Results : EEGs were measured to study the differences between Qigong masters and Qi receiver on the changes of EEG. During Qigong, an alpha waves were increased. The power spectra indicate that the peak frequency of alpha waves increased during Qigong. Qi receiver's EEG signals seemed to affected by the state of himself. Brain activation did not observed when qigong master concentrates the Qi at Laogong(P8). But a localization of fMRI signal in the sensory cortex was observed by electric acupuncture stimulation at Laogong(P8). Five phase deviation of EAV were clearly changed in the both cases of Qigong master and Qi receiver. When a Qigong master concentrates the Qi at Yintang, Laogong(P8), Qihai(CV6) meridian points during Qigong state, the change of magnetic field around acupoints Yintang, Laogong points has been measured using 40-Channel DROS-SQUID apparatus. After smoothing process of the continuously measured magnetic signal around acupoints for a few minutes, we could observe that a series of peaks, magnitude of -1.0~2.5pT appeared. But there was no significant difference in changes of magnetic signal around acupoints. Physical signals of magnetocardiogram has been measured by using 2-Channel DROS SQUID(Magnetocardiogram). Physical signals of magnetocardiogram were clealy changed at the ST segments after S-wave when qigong master concentrates the Qi.

Experimental study is conducted to investigate the heat/mass transfer and flow characteristics for the flow over backward-facing step and cavities. A naphthalene sublimation method has been employed to measure the mass transfer coefficients on the duct wall and LDV system has been used to obtain mean velocity profiles and turbulence intensities. Reynolds number based on the step height and free stream velocity is 20,000 and St numbers of acoustic excitations given to separated flow are 0.2 to 0.4. The spectra of streamwise velocity fluctuation show a sharp peak forcing frequency for an acoustically excited flow. The results reveal that the vortex pairing and overall turbulence level are enhanced by the acoustic excitation and a significant decrease in the reattachment length and the increased turbulence intensity are observed with the excitation. A certain acoustic excitation increases considerably the heat/mass transfer coefficient at the reattachment point and in the recirculation region. For the cavities, heat/mass transfer is enhanced by the acoustic excitation due to the elevated turbulence intensity. For the 10H cavity, the flow pattern is significantly changed with the acoustic excitation. However, for the 5H cavity, the acoustic excitation has little effect on the flow pattern in the cavity.

rf 플라즈마 소스가 장착된 분자선 에피택시 장비를 이용하여 Si(111) 기판위에 GaN 나노로드를 성장할 때, N2의 흐름양을 조절하여 나노로드의 구조 및 광학적인 특성을 조사하였다. $N_2$의 양이 1.1sccm에서 2.0sccm으로 변할 때 육각형 모양의 나노로드가 성장되었으며, 평균 직경이 80nm에서 190nm 까지 변화 하였다. 그러나 나노로드와 compact한 영역의 길이 (두께)비는 $N_2$의 양이 1.7sccm 까지는 증가하지만 그 이상에서는 변화지 않았다. PL 측정으로부터, $N_2$의 양이 적은 나노로드에서 자유 엑시톤의 피이크가 더욱 뚜렷하게 관측되었고, 모든 PL 피이크의 위치는 직경이 적을수록 나노로드의 크기 효과에 의해서 고에너지 쪽으로 이동하였다. $N_2$의 양이 1.7sccm 인 시료에서는 온도에 따른 PL의 피이크의 위치가 온도가 증가함에 따라서 "S-형"의 거동을 나타내었다.
