For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), cyclic prefix (CP) should be longer than the length of channel impulse response, resulting in a loss of bandwidth efficiency. In this paper, we describe a new technique to restore the cyclicity of the received signal when the CP is not sufficient for OFDM systems. The proposed technique efficiently restores the cyclicity of the current received symbol by adding the weighted next received symbol to the current received symbol. Iterative CP reconstruction (CPR) procedure, based on the residual intersymbol interference cancellation (RISIC) algorithm, is analyzed and compared to the RISIC. In addition, we apply the CPR method to Alamouti space-time block coded (STBC) OFDM system. It is shown that in the STBC OFDM, tail cancellation as well as cyclic reconstruction of the CPR procedure should be repeated. The computational complexities of the RISIC, the proposed CPR, the RISIC with STBC, and the proposed CPR with STBC are analyzed and their performances are evaluated in multipath fading environments. We also propose an iterative channel estimation (CE) method for OFDM with insufficient CP. Further, we discuss the CE method for the STBC OFDM system with the CPR. It is shown that the CPR technique with the proposed CE method minimizes the loss of bandwidth efficiency due to the use of CP, without sacrificing the diversity gain of the STBC OFDM system.

The electronic property of graphene was investigated by hydrazine treatment. Hydrazine ($N_2H_4$) highly increases electron concentrations and up-shifts Fermi level of graphene based on significant shift of Dirac point to the negative gate voltage. We have observed contact resistance and channel length dependent mobility of graphene in the back-gated device after hydrazine monohydrate treatment and continuously monitored electrical characteristics under Nitrogen or air exposure. The contact resistance increases with hydrazine-treated and subsequent Nitrogen-exposed devices and reduces down in successive Air-exposed device to the similar level of pristine one. The channel conductance curve as a function of gate voltage in hole conduction regime keeps analogous value and shape even after Nitrogen/Air exposure specially whereas, in electron conduction regime change rate of conductance along with the level of conductance with gate voltage are decreased. Hydrazine could be utilized as the highly effective donor without degradation of mobility but the stability issue to be solved for future application.

To implement tera bit level non-volatile memories of low power and fast operation, proving statistical reproductivity and satisfying reliabilities at the nano-scale are a key challenge. We fabricate the charge trapping nano scaled SONOS unit memories and 64 bit flash arrays and evaluate reliability and performance of them. In case of the dielectric stack thickness of 4.5 /9.3 /6.5 nm with the channel width and length of 34 nm and 31nm respectively, the device has about 3.5 V threshold voltage shift with write voltage of $10\;{\mu}s$, 15 V and erase voltage of 10 ms, -15 V. And retention and endurance characteristics are above 10 years and $10^5$ cycle, respectively. The device with LDD(Lightly Doped Drain) process shows reduction of short channel effect and GIDL(Gate Induced Drain Leakage) current. Moreover we investigate three different types of flash memory arrays.

Background: The complex anatomy of the pancreaticobiliary duct was crucial in management of pancreatic and biliary tract disease. Materials and Methods: Fresh specimens of pancreas, common bile duct (CBD), and duodenum were obtained en bloc from autopsies of 160 patients. Results: Ninety-three male and 67 female patients were included. The length of the pancreas ranged from 9.8-20 cm (mean, 16.20 +/- 1.70 cm). The intrapancreatic portion of the CBD showed patterns of three types: most common (85.30%) was type A, in which the anterior surface of the common bile duct was totally covered, while its posterior surface was partially covered, by the pancreatic parenchyma. On dissection of the accessory duct of Santorini, the accessory duct was traceable to the duodenal wall in 67.6%. The anatomy of the Wirsung-choledochus confluence was grouped into five different types. The common channel was found in 75.60% and its length varied from just a common junction (so-called "V-type" anatomy) to 15 mm (Y-type-b). Separate papillae (so-called "II-type") were found in 15.3% of specimens. Conclusions: Several important points regarding the anatomy of the pancreaticobiliary junction and pancreatic ductal system were illustrated in this study.

본 논문에서는 main gate와 side gate를 가지는 DGMOSFET의 전류전압특성을 조사하였다. 채널의 길이를 1${\mu}$m에서 5${\mu}$m까지 변화시켜 채널길이에 따른 전류전압특성을 조사하였다. 또한 드레인 전류를 변화시켜 동작온도에 따른 특성변화를 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. 게이트 전압이 2V 인가되었을 때, 77K에서의 전류전압특성이 300K에서 동작한 소자특성보다 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we consider the construction of cyclic and quasi-cyclic structured q-ary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over a designated small field. The construction is performed with a pre-defined sliding-window, which actually executes the regular mapping from original field to the targeted field under certain parameters. Compared to the original codes, the new constructed codes can provide better flexibility in choice of code rate, code length and size of field. The constructed codes over small fields with code length from tenths to hundreds perform well with q-ary sum-product decoding algorithm (QSPA) over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and are comparable to the improved spherepacking bound. These codes may found applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN), where the delay and energy are extremely constrained.

최근 기상 이변에 따라 단시간에 집중되는 돌발홍수에 의해 해마다 막대한 인적, 물적 피해를 입고 있다. 이러한 국지성호우에 의한 산지하천이나 미소하천에서 첨두유출량을 예측하기 위한 도구로서 GIS를 적용하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 수문학적 접근이 주를 이루고 있으며 GIS를 이용한 지형분석으로의 접근은 매우 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 돌발홍수를 발생시키는 강우량을 GIS기법과 GcIUH의 모형을 연계하여 산정하였고, 유역별 GcIUH 매개변수를 추출하여 한계유량에 따른 GcIUH 매개변수간의 상관관계를 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 직접대역확산방식을 이용한 DS-CDMA의 ISI나 ICI와 같은 문제점을 다수의 협대역 부반송파를 이용하여 해결할 수 있도록 제안된 변조방식인 MC-CDMA시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 여기서 고려한 채널모델은 Rician 페이딩 분포를 가지며, 부반송파에서의 페이딩은 서로 독립적인 특성을 갖는 옥내이동통신 환경으로 하였다. 시스템의 성능분석을 위해 먼저 오류정정부호를 사용하지 않은 시스템의정방향과 역방향의 비트오율을 분석하였다. 그리고 (7,4) Hamming 부호, (15,7) BCH 부호, 구속장이 7인 1/2-길쌈부호와 같은 오류정정부호를 사용하였을 때 이용자수와 부반송파수 그리고 신호대 잡음비(SNR)에 따른 비트오율변화를 분석하므로써 부호화 MC-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다.

silicided 50-nm-gate-length n-type Schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (SB-MOSFETs) with 5 nm gate oxide thickness are manufactured. The saturation current is $120{\mu}A/{\mu}m$ and on/off-current ratio is higher than $10^5$ with low leakage current less than $10{\mu}A/{\mu}m$. Novel phenomena of this device are discussed. The increase of tunneling current with the increase of drain voltage is explained using drain induced Schottky barrier thickness thinning effect. The abnormal increase of drain current with the decrease of gate voltage is explained by hole carrier injection from drain into channel. The mechanism of threshold voltage increase in SB-MOSFETs is discussed. Based on the extracted model parameters, the performance of 10-nm-gate-length SB-MOSFETs is predicted. The results show that the subthreshold swing value can be lower than 60 mV/decade.
