We present simulation methods to accurately determine the transmission efficiency and far-field patterns (FFPs) of a shallow-etched waveguide grating antenna (WGA) formed on a silicon-on-insulator wafer based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach. The directionality and the FFP of a WGA with >1-mm in length can be obtained reliably by simulating a truncated WGA structure using a three-dimensional FDTD method and a full-scale WGA using a two-dimensional FDTD with the effective index method. The developed FDTD methods are applied to the simulation of an optical phased array (OPA) composed of a uniformly spaced WGA array, and the steering-angle dependent transmission efficiency and FFPs are obtained in OPA structures having up to 128-channel WGAs.

The heat generation in PEMFC is proportional to the electrical power output. Therefore, when the fuel cell produced the maximum output, the maximum heat was generated. In order to maintain the performance of the fuel cell, thermal management is as important as pressure and humidity conditions of the reactive gas. In this study, considering the thermal management for the maximum output operation, the optimal cooling channel design specifications of bipolar plate are found for the highest cooling performance. In the current bipolar plate research, many studies focused on analyzing various factors individually but there is no more study on the interaction between design factors. In this study, the heat transfer was simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics with the main design factors which are designated shape, width and rib length. One of the experimental design methods, general full factorial design method, was used to analyze the main factor and interaction on average temperature and maximum temperature for the design specification of fuel cell bipolar plate. When analysis result shows that all of these three factors are highly important, it can confirm that the interaction occurs between the factors.

This paper is the research about a joint coding system of source and channel coding using VF(Variable-to-fixed length) arithmetic code and BCH code. We propose a VF arithmetic coding method with EDC( Error Detecting Capability) and a joint coding method in that the VF arithmetic coding method with EDC is combined with BCH code. By combining both the VF arithmetic code with EDC and BCH code. the proposed joint coding method corrects a source codeword with t-errors in decoding of BCH code and carries out a improvement of the EDC of a codeword with more than (t＋1)-errors in decoding of the VF arithmetic coding with EDC. We examine the performance of the proposed method in terms of compression ratio and EDC.

A parametric study on the shapes of bobsleigh bumpers has been performed to reduce the aerodynamic drag. Effects of geometric parameters, such as leading angle of leading bumper, the ratio of minimum width to maximum width of leading bumper, the ratio of leading bumper length to trailing bumper length, trailing angle of trailing bumper, and the ratio of bumper height to installation location of bumper from the bottom of bobsleigh, on the aerodynamic performance of the bobsleigh were estimated using 3-D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The turbulence was analyzed using the shear stress turbulence model. Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of the external flow channel was in the range of 150,000~1,000,000. Numerical results for drag coefficient were validated compared to experimental data. Ranges of the five geometric parameters were determined according to the rule of Federation Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobaganning. The aerodynamic performance of the bobsleigh sled was most sensitive to the leading angle of leading bumper and the ratio of minimum width to maximum width of leading bumper.

Populations of Codium amplivesiculatum were found in association with rhodolith beds. We present population trends of C. amplivesiculatum from surveys conducted in the southwestern Gulf of California based on monthly sampling from June 1999 to August 2000. Surveys were conducted at 2 sites in the San Lorenzo Channel at depths of 8 - 12 m. The parameters measured were percent cover, biomass and structure in relation to size of the thalli. From each thallus the following measurements were taken: length and diameter, proportion of each thallus with reproductive structures and the degree of fragmentation (measured as number of small thalli). Mean biomass and cover varied seasonally with the maximum (1036.6 gm$^{-2}$ and 100% cover) present in June 2000 and the minimum in winter (0 gm$^{-2}$ and 0% cover). The longest fronds (3 m) occurred during July 1999 and August 2000, while the maximum diameters of 1.0 cm were present during October and November 1999. There were no significant linear relationships between length and diameter of the fronds, suggesting independent growth. Reproductive structures were common in June and July 1999 with monoic and dioic thalli present. Most fronds were monoic, and this is the first record of this feature for this species. Fragmentation occurred in September, and may be associated with stress from early gametangial reproduction and the combination of high temperatures and low nutrients. A hypothetical life cycle for the species is presented.

본 연구에서는 De Marchi 유량계수 개념을 이용하여 상대적으로 폭이 넓은 개수로에서 광정횡월류위어 유량계수에 대한 위어 상류단 프루드수($Fr_1$), 위어 높이(h), 위어 길이(L), 위어 폭(W), 본류 폭(B)의 영향 및 예언횡월류위어의 유량계수와 광정횡월류위어의 유량계수의 상관성을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 분석 결과 폭이 넓은 개수로 흐름 조건에서는 본류 흐름 조건의 영향이 약화되고 위어 자체의 기하학적 형상에 의한 영향이 강화되기 때문에 예연횡월류위어와 광정횡월류위어 유량계수의 상호연관성이 상대적으로 약화되는 것으로 나타났으며, 차원해석을 통하여 $Fr_1$, h/$y_1$, L/B, W/($y_1-h$) 등 4개의 변수가 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 실험 결과를 바탕으로 회귀분석을 통하여 새로운 광정횡월류위어 유량계수 산정식을 제안하였다.

Nonoptimal placement of short-channel-length TFTs in large-grained polycrystalline Si films with a periodic microstructure, as for instance obtained via 2-shot SLS, can potentially lead to degradation in the overall uniformity of the resultant devices. In this paper, we explain and demonstrate that by simply introducing a well-defined misorientation between the devices and the periodic microstructure, it is possible to significantly reduce (and potentially entirely eliminate) the device nonuniformity problem that can arise from such a cause.

무선 LAN(W-LAN)은 IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b의 표준이 제정됨에 따라 전송 속도도 수십 Mbps까지 고속으로 발전되어 왔고, 현재 여러 대학과 기업체에서 무선 LAN(W-LAN)을 많이 보급하고 있으며, 또한 통신 사업자들도 일부 제한된 지역(지하철 구내)에서 W-LAN을 설치하여 일반인에게 서비스하고 있다. 이와 같이 무선 LAN의 확산으로 서비스를 이용하는 사람들이 날로 증가 추세에 있으나 서비스 면에서 문제점들도 대두되고 있다. 특히 건물과 전파의 방해물이 많이 존재하는 도심 지역에서 데이터를 고속으로 전송하려면 상대적으로 주파수가 높아짐에 따라 무선 접속 장치(AP : Access Point)와 이동국(노트북등 단말기)간에 ISI(Inter Symbol Interference)가 발생하여 주파수 선택성 페이딩 채널 환경이 되어 데이터의 끊김과 에러가 발생하는 등 사용자에게 양질의 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 사례가 자주 있어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 다중 경로 채널 환경에서 ISI 영향을 가장 적게 받을 수 있는 OFDM 시스템을 적용하여 성능을 분석 평가 하였다. 데이터 변조 방식으로는 IEEE 802.11a에 근거한 부 반송파의 수가 52개인 BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM 방식을 적용하였고, 구속장이 7이고 부호율이 1/2, 3/4인 천공된 컨벌루셔널 부호를 사용하였으며 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 특히 페이딩의 영향을 많이 받는 무선 채널 환경에서 단일 텝 등화기 및 결정 궤환 등화기(DFE : Decision Feedback Equalizer)를 적용하여 성능이 월등히 향상되고 단말기가 이동 시에도 데이터의 단절 등이 없음을 시물레이션을 통해 입증 하였다.

Microfluidic radioimmunoassay (RIA) platform called µ-RIA spends less reagent and shorter reaction time for the analysis compared to the conventional tube-based radioimmunoassay. This study reported the design of µ-RIA chips optimized for the gamma counter which could measure the small samples of radioactive materials automatically. Compared with the previous study, the µ-RIA chips developed in this study were designed to be compatible with conventional RIA test tubes. And, the automatic gamma counter could detect radioactivity from the ¹²⁵I labeled anti-PSA attached to the chips. Effects of the multi-layer microchannels and two-phase flow in the µ-RIA chips were investigated in this study. The measured radioactivity from the ¹²⁵I labeled anti-PSA was linearly proportional to the number of stacked chips, representing that the radioactivity in µ-RIA platform could be amplified by designing the chips with multi-layers. In addition, we designed µ-RIA chip to generate liquid-gas plug flow inside the microfluidic channel. The plug flow can promote binding of the biomolecules onto the microfluidic channel surface with recirculation in the liquid phase. The ratio of liquid slug and air slug length was 1 : 1 when the ¹²⁵I labeled anti-PSA and the air were injected at 1 and 35 µL/min, respectively, exhibiting 1.6 times higher biomolecule attachment compared to the microfluidic chip without the air injection. This experimental result indicated that the biomolecular reaction was improved by generating liquid-gas slugs inside the microfluidic channel. In this study, we presented a novel µ-RIA chips that is compatible with the conventional gamma counter with automated sampler. Therefore, high-throughput radioimmunoassay can be carried out by the automatic measurement of radioactivity with reduced radiowaste generation. We expect the µ-RIA platform can successfully replace conventional tube-based radioimmunoassay in the future.

본 논문에서는 다중경로 레일리 페이딩 채널에서의 슬롯 ALOHA 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템과 슬롯 ALOHA Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템의 throughput을 유도하였다. 다중경로 레일리 페이딩 채널을 빠른(fast) 페이딩과 느린(slow) 페이딩 채널로 구분하고, 이를 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템과 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템에서 패킷 길이 (N$_{d}$)에 따라 비교, 검토하였다. 그 결과, Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템은 통일한 대역폭을 사용하는 광대역 DS-CDMA 보다 시스템 용량은 감소하였으나 시스템의 throughput 면에서 보다 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 빠른 레일리 페이딩 채널에서는 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 보다 시스템의 패킷 길이를 소형화하여 전송함으로서 throughput을 높이는 것이 효과적이며, 느린 레일리 페이딩 환경에서는 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템의 시스템 용량을 증가시키거나, 패킷 길이를 적정하게 길게 하는 것이 효과적이다.
