Deforestation and conservation of coniferous forest have been recognized as critical issues in Korea due to climate change. The main purpose of this research was to monitor changes of secondary metabolite contents and growth of Korean fir (Abies koreana) according to the temperature change in Mt. Halla. The Korean fir located at three different regions, Yeongsil, Witseoreum, and Jindallaebat, was monitored in April, July, and October from 2016 to 2018 and secondary metabolites, specifically lutein, α-carotenoid, and β-carotenoid, were analysed with high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that average concentrations of lutein, α-carotenoid, and β-carotenoid were 0.82 - 23.30, 0.02 - 2.01, and 0.11 - 2.84 ㎍·g-1 and the highest concentration of secondary metabolite was observed in October compared to April and July. The average length and width of Korean fir in the three regions were 11.84 - 20.70 and 1.78 - 2.41 mm from 2016 - 2018. A correlation analysis showed that the concentrations of all three secondary metabolites were negatively correlated with temperature and a significant difference was observed between temperature and lutein concentration in Korean fir. Overall, growth and production of secondary metabolites in Korean fir highly depended on the temperature, and global warming thus might have an adverse effect on the growth and physiological changes of Korean fir in Mt. Halla.

This study was carried out to evaluate the high-temperature drying characteristics of douglas-fir, hemlock, and radiata pine square timber with dimensions of thickness 15 cm and 18 cm. As a result, radiata pine showed the lowest final moisture content followed by douglas-fir and hemlock without reference to the timber size. Moreover, when the longitudinal kerfing is processed, the final moisture content was lower than control. The kerfing treatment was effective to decreasing the twist of radiata pine and hemlock. When douglas-fir is processed to the shape like the edge-grained timber that does not include the pith, the decrease of drying defect was possible.

The design of two-dimensional zero-phase FIR digital filters by transformations is a popular and well-developed technique, but is suffers from the disadvantage that in its current form the filters with only four quadrant symmetry can not be designed exactly circular symmetry at frequencies far from the origin. it is shown how symmetry requirement for the filters with any number of dimensions can be fulfilled with arbbitrary percision by adapting transformation with the appropriate series expansions. this transformation has been known generally as the McClellan transformation. In this paper, a simple method for ensuring exelent circular symmetry at frequencies far from the origin is presented. This method which employs the Modified Mcclellan trnsformation for the design of 2-D FIR filter form 1-D FIR filters is quite useful for the design of 2-D FIR filters with multiple cutoff boundaries such as band-pass filters.

In this paper, a current-mode analog variable finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter with variable tap coefficient circuits is proposed for frequency selective wireless personal area network(WPAN) system or terminals. From the circuit simulation the operation of the 7-tap FIR filter is confirmed. The 0.0625-step tap coefficient circuit is designed and fabricated with $0.8[{\mu}m]$ CMOS technology. The proposed FIR filter has a variable length of taps and variable coefficients, so it has a potential for being used to frequency selective WPAN system or frequency selective wireless communication terminals.

We present preliminary results of far-infrared(FIR) study of the supernova remnant(SNR)s in the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Herschel HERITAGE (HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution) data set. HERITAGE provides FIR data covering the entire LMC at 100,160, 250, 350, and 500 um. In order to confirm FIR emission associated with SNRs, we refer to Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey (MCELS) H-alpha & SII data, Spitzer surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) 24um & 70um data, Chandra Supernova Remnants Catalog, and ATCA 4.8GHz continuum images of Dickel et al. (2005). Among 47 SNRs in the LMC, 7 SNRs show associated FIR emission. We present multi-wavelength view of 5 SNRs; DEM L249, N49, N63A, N132D, and the SNR in N4. N49 and N132D show morphological correlation in FIR and X-ray, suggesting that the FIR emission is from dust grains collisionally heated by X-ray emitting plasma. The FIR emission of N63A resembles H-alpha emission, which implies that the FIR line radiation could be dominant. The FIR images of the rest two objects, DEM L249 and SNR in N4, show no correlation to the other-waveband images.

Hershel found out Infrared for the first time, in the Industrial Revolution the Infrared and FlR had been begun to use making products. FIR with low temperature can deeply penetrate on the human body composed things without troublesome. since FIR has effectively operated on the human body at low temperature (35-40$^{\circ}$C). When FIR penetrated on the human body, it would inhibit the abnormal genes and cells expression, and then information of DNA and RNA would be reexpressed for arranging DNA and RNA abnormal state. As FIR's receptors in the body, it colud be presumed that N-glycosyl linkage of purine and deoxyribose, RNA splicing process. and Heat shock protein. To radiate optimized FIR, in this study, we made the FIR radiation compound and instrument for unharming biological things. According to the results, the FIR radiation to E. coli., it did not induce genetic mutations and change the survival rate of E.coli.

In recent years, digital processing techniques have been applied diversity of fields. Typical signal processing techniques are speech processing and image processing. And filters for the signal processing can be divided in FIR (finite impulse response) filter and IIR (infinite impulse response) filter. Compared with IIR filter, the FIR Filter has a defect of high-degree, but has a merit of stability and uses simply. Futhermore, FIR filter also has linear phase response characteristics, it is using in fields regarding wave information importantly. To FIR Filter design, the main issue is to remove the Gibbs phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper I was proposed a method using FIR digital filter applied a modified window function and the method was compared with conventional methods.

With basis of the development of information communication techniques in recent year, the digital processing techniquy also has been growed fast. The digital processing technique have used signals - speech and image processing- for processing of transmission and analysis. After we get and save the signals. Effective signal processing techniques have varied filters and typical digital filters are FIR filter and IIR filter. The FIR digital filter is more secure because phase response characteristics have linear phase. But, FIR digital filters have a problem to product the Gibbs phenomenon generating around a discontinuous point. A propose of filer is to remove the problem. Therefore, in this paper I was proposed a method using FIR digital filter applied a modified window function and the method was compared with conventional methods.

Beamforming for underwater acoustic communication is affected by the broadband feature of underwater acoustic communication signal, which has the low center frequency compared to the signal bandwidth. In this paper, the baseband equivalent array signal model is derived and we present computer simulation results for the broadband finite impulse response (FIR) beamformer performance according to the FIR filter order and the tap spacing. If the FIR filter order is increased above the optimum value, the beamformer performance is degraded. Also the tap spacing is related to the optimum FIR filter order.
