An experimental study of energy absorption and x-ray emission from ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of in-situ produced solid clusters has been performed. Silver clusters produced by a 30 mJ, 300 ps laser pulse were irradiated up to an intensity of $3{\times}10^{17}\;W/cm^2$ by a 70 mJ, 45 fs compressed laser pulse from the same Ti:sapphire laser. Absorption of the laser light exceeding 70% was observed, resulting in an x-ray yield (>1 keV) of ${\sim}60{\mu}J$ pulse. This may constitute a much simpler means of intense x-ray generation using ultrashort laser pulses as compared to the irradiation of structured / pre-deposited cluster targets, and it offers higher x-ray conversion efficiency than that from gas clusters and planar solid targets.

Metal organic chemical vapor deposition has been investigated for growth of $Sb_{2-x}Bi_xTe_3$ films on (001) GaAs substrates using diisopropyltelluride, triethylantimony and trimethylbismuth as metal organic sources. The thermoelectric properties were measured at room temperature and include Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and Hall effect. In-plane carrier concentration and electrical Hall mobility were highly dependent on precursor's composition ratio and deposition temperature. The thermoelectric Power factor($={\alpha}^2{\sigma}$) was calculated from theses properties. The best Power factor was $2.6\;{\times}\;10^{-3}W/mK^2$, given by grown $Sb_{1.6}Bi_{0.4}Te_3$ at $450^{\circ}C$. These materials could potentially be incorporated into advanced thermoelectric unicouples for a variety of power generation applications.

In this paper, we have implemented soil simulation using fluid simulation technology. A widely used NVIDIA FleX was used to represent the soil generated by excavation work. FleX is a particle-based physics simulation library that combines SPH (Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics) and Position Based Dynamics techniques. However, since the soil has not only fluid properties but also non-fluid properties, it is difficult to simulate with the functions provided by conventional FleX. In this study, we added a technique to simulate non-fluid behavior using existing Flex. This can lead to effective results improvement at low cost.

In future, it is expected that generation company, ISO, and fuel procurement, etc. may use an instructional tool developer's suggestion for application. It will be also applicable to establish the operational strategies for generation control, fuel procurement and power system risk management.

In recent emerging industry, Display field becomes bigger and bigger, and also semiconductor technology becomes high density integration. In Flat Panel Display, there is an issue that electrostatic phenomenon results in fine dust adsorption as electrostatic capacity increases due to bigger size. Destruction of high integrated circuit and pattern deterioration occur in semiconductor and this causes the problem of weakening of thermal resistance. In order to solve this sort of electrostatic failure in this process, Soft X-ray ionizer is mainly used. Soft X-ray Ionizer does not only generate electrical noise and minute particle but also is efficient to remove electrostatic as it has a wide range of ionization. X-ray Generating efficiency has an effect on soft X-ray Ionizer affects neutralizing performance. There exist variable factors such as type of anode, thickness, tube voltage etc., and it takes a lot of time and financial resource to find optimal performance by manufacturing with actual X-ray tube source. MCNPX (Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended) is used for simulation to solve this kind of problem, and optimum efficiency of X-ray generation is anticipated. In this study, X-ray generation efficiency was measured according to target material thickness using MCNPX under the conditions that tube voltage is 5 keV, 10 keV, 15 keV and the target Material is Tungsten(W), Gold(Au), Silver(Ag). At the result, Gold(Au) shows optimum efficiency. In Tube voltage 5 keV, optimal target thickness is $0.05{\mu}m$ and Largest energy of Light flux appears $2.22{\times}10^8$ x-ray flux. In Tube voltage 10 keV, optimal target Thickness is $0.18{\mu}m$ and Largest energy of Light flux appears $1.97{\times}10^9$ x-ray flux. In Tube voltage 15 keV, optimal target Thickness is $0.29{\mu}m$ and Largest energy of Light flux appears $4.59{\times}10^9$ x-ray flux.

Smart home is an advanced Internet of Things (IoT) service that enhances the convenience of human daily life and improves the quality of life at home. Recently, with the emergence of smart home products and services to which artificial intelligence (AI) technology is applied, interest in smart home is increasing. To gain a competitive edge in the smart home market, companies are providing "personalized service" to users, which is a key service that can promote smart home use. This study investigates the factors affecting the value awareness of personalized service and intention to use smart home. This research focuses on four-dimensional motivated innovativeness (cognitive, functional, hedonic, and social innovativeness) and privacy risk awareness as key factors that influence the value awareness of personalized service of smart home. In particular, this study conducts a comparative analysis between the generation MZ (young people in late teens to 30s), who are showing socially differentiated characteristics, and the generation X and baby boomers in 40s to 50s or older. Based on the analysis results, this study derives the distinctive characteristics of generation MZ that are different from the older generation, and provides academic and practical implications for expanding the use of smart home services.

Material degradation of Cr steels in boiler tubes was accompanied by the microstructural changes including carbide behavior and crack formation. The microstructural change and the mechanical behavior of hardness and creep properties in accelerated heat-treatments were studied in order to identify the material degradation of the X20 Cr steel. The degradation behavior was occurred in the hardness increasing followed by decreasing due to carbide dissolution and precipitation.

DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)-S2 (Satellite - Second Generation) 표준은 현재 위성방송 시스템으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 표준이나, 추가적인 성능향상과 보다 다양한 응용분야에 적용하기 위해 DVB-S2 기술을 확장한 DVB-S2x (Satellite - Second Generation Extension) 시스템이 제정되었다. 그 중에서도 612,540 심볼 길이의 수퍼프레임 (Super-frame) 구조를 선택적으로 도입하여 긴 데이터 길이에 대해 스크렘블링 (Scrambling)을 적용하는 방법과 PLS (Physical Layer Signaling) 코드와 같은 참조 데이터 필드를 반복적으로 사용하는 방법 등을 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 통해 동일채널 간섭 (co-channel interference)에 대한 강인성을 증가시키고, 매우 낮은 SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) 환경에서의 수신기 성능 향상 효과를 제공하게 된다 본 논문에서는 버스트 슈퍼프레임 전송 기반의 DVB-S2x 수신기를 위한 동기부를 설계하고 구조를 제안한다. 슈퍼프레임의 포맷은 DVB-S2x Annex E 의 규격 중 2 번 포맷을 이용하였으며, 2 번 슈퍼프레임 포맷은 버스트 (burst) 기반의 전송 방식에 용이한 측면이 있다. 동기부는 크게 버스트 검출부, 주파수 복구부, 신호 이득 조절부 그리고 심벌 타이밍 복구부로 구성된다.

GaN (Gallium-Nitride) is a promising candidate material in various radio frequency applications due to its inherent properties including wide bandgap, high carrier concentration, and high electron mobility/saturation velocity. Notably, AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field effect transistor exhibits high operating voltage and high power-density/power at high frequency. In next-generation radar systems, GaN power transistors and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are significant components of transmitting and receiving modules. In this paper, we introduce technological trends for C-/X-/Ku-band GaN MMICs including power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and switch MMICs, focusing on the status of GaN MMIC fabrication technology and GaN foundry service. Additionally, we review the research for the localization of C-/X-/Ku-band GaN MMICs using in-house GaN transistor and MMIC fabrication technology. We also discuss the results of C-/X-/Ku-band GaN MMICs developed at Defense Materials and Components Convergence Research Department in ETRI.
