Recently, many researches have been done to improve optical performance of LCD-BLU(Back Light Unit). One of the most important parts in LCD-BLU is LGP(Light Guiding Plate). Micro-patterned LGP is known to have different optical characteristics depending on their shape, pattern density and size, etc. In the present study, a micro-optical patterned LGP mold was fabricated using LiGA process. The difference in the optical characteristics between positive and negative patterned LGP's was investigated by fixing the density, location and size of each pattern. It was found that the negative patterned LGP showed better optical characteristics than positive one.

The light guide plate (LGP) of LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display-Back Light Unit) is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots by etching process. However, the surface of those etched dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of etching process, so that its light loss is relatively high due to the dispersion of light. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current etched-dot patterned LGP, micro-lens pattern was tested to investigate the possibility of replacing etched pattern in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by the modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different optical pattern type (i.e. etched dot, micro-lens). Finally, the micro-lens patterned LGP showed better optical qualities than the one made by the etched-dot patterned LGP in luminance.

콜롬비아는 안데스 산맥의 북단에 위치하며 NS 방향의 단층대를 기준으로 지질 환경의 차이가 크다. 단층대를 기준으로 동부지역은 원생대 변성암류와 이를 피복하는 고생대 변성퇴적암류가 주로 분포하며, 서부 지역은 고생대 퇴적암류, 중생대 화성암류, 제 3 기 화산양류 및 퇴적암류가 주로 분포한다. 지화학이상대는 6개 그룹으로 분류되며, 철 (Fe), 귀금속(Au, Ag, Pt), 기초금속(Cu, Pb, Zn), 희유금속(Sn, Cr, Co, Mn, Mo, Ni, Nb, W, V, Mg, Ti, Be, REE, Ga, Zr, Hf, Se, Te, Ta, Cd, In, Li 등) 빛 핵원료자원인 U 이상대로 구성된다. 콜롬비아의 주요 부존자원은 석탄, 니켈, 금 및 에메랄드이다. 에메랄드, 석탄 및 니켈은 세계적인 매장규모와 생산량을 보인다. 콜롬비아는 탐사가 거의 수행되지 않은 지역이 전 국토의 49%에 달해 광물부존 잠재성은 현재보다 크게 높을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 최근 콜롬비아와의 광물자원 협력이 강화되고 있는 시점에서 미탐사 지역을 대상한 공동탐사를 지화학 이상대가 확인된 지역을 중심으로 수행하여 신규광체를 확보하고, 광물자원 협력을 강화함으로써 공동개발 여건을 마련할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

This paper jointly investigates the bandwidth allocation, transmission strategy and relay positions for two-way transmission aware cellular networks with network coding (NC). Our goal is to minimize the transmission power of mobile terminals (MTs). Consider a cellular system, where multiple MTs exchange information with their common base station, firstly, we propose an efficient bandwidth allocation method and then give a transmission strategy for each MT to determine whether to use relay stations (RSs) for its two-way transmission with the BS or not. To further improve the system performance, the optimal positions of RSs are also jointly discussed. A GA-based algorithm is presented to obtain the optimum positions for RSs. Besides, the impacts of frequency reuse on MT's transmission power and system spectral efficiency (SE) under different number of relays are also discussed in our work. Numerical results show that the proposed NC aware scheme can extend MTs' battery life at least 6% more than traditional method.

In this paper, thermal stability of Ni-silicide formed on the SOI substrate with $B_{11}$ has been characterized. The sheet resistance of Ni-silicide on un-doped SOI and $B_{11}$ implanted bulk substrate was increased after the post-silicidation annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, in case of $B_{11}$ implanted SOI substrate, the sheet resistance showed stable characteristics after the post-silicidation annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The main reason of the excellent property of $B_{11}$ sample is believed to be the retardation of Ni diffusion by the boron and bottom oxide layer of SOI. Therefore, retardation of Ni diffusion is highly desirable lot high performance Ni silicide technology.

In this paper, thermal stability of Nickel silicide formed on p-type silicon wafer using Ni-V alloy film was studied. As compared with pure Ni, Ni-V shows better thermal stability. The addition of Vanadium suppresses the phase transition of NiSi to $NiSi_2$ effectively. Ni-V single structure shows the best thermal stability compared with the other Ni-silicide using TiN and Co/TiN capping layers. To enhance the thermal stability up to $650^{\circ}C$ and find out the optimal thickness of Ni silicide, different thickness of Ni-V was also investigated in this work.

In this paper, the formation and thermal stability characteristics of Ni silicide using Ni-V alloy on Boron cluster ($B_{18}H_{22}$) implanted bulk and SOI substrate were examined in comparison with pure Ni for nano-scale CMOSFET. The Ni silicide using Ni-V alloy on $B_{18}H_{22}$ implanted SOI substrate after high temperature post-silicidation annealing showed the lower sheet resistance, no agglomeration interface image and lower surface roughness than that using pure Ni. The thermal stability of Ni silicide was improved by using Ni-V alloy on $B_{18}H_{22}$ implanted SOI substrate.

In this paper, Ni-Co alloy was used for improvement of thermal stability of Ni silicide. The proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure exhibited wide temperature window of rapid thermal process. Sheet resistance as well as cross-sectional profile showed stable characteristics in spite of high temperature annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30min. Therefore, the proposed Ni/Ni-Co structure is highly promising for highly thermal immune Ni silicide for nano-scale CMOSFET technology.

This study develops a two stage procedure to identify the structural damage based on the optimized artificial neural networks. Initially, the modal strain energy index (MSEI) is established to extract the damaged elements and to reduce the computational time. Then the genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are combined to detect the damage severity. The input of the network is modal strain energy index and the output is the flexural stiffness of the beam elements. The principal component analysis (PCA) is utilized to reduce the input variants of the neural network. By using the genetic algorithm to optimize the parameters, the ANNs can significantly improve the accuracy and convergence of the damage identification. The influence of noise on damage identification results is also studied. The simulation and experiment on beam structures shows that the adaptive parameter selection neural network can identify the damage location and severity of beam structures with high accuracy.

We collected a specimen of Heniochus diphreutes Jordan, 1903 belonging to the family Chaetodontidae on December 26, 2020 in Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, using the set net. Although, H. diphreutes is morphologically very similar to Heniochus acuminatus, it can be distinguished from the latter based on the number of dorsal fin spines, mostly 12 in H. diphreutes vs 11 in H. acuminatus, and the percentage of snout length in head length, which is less than 12% in H. diphreutes vs more than 13% in H. acuminatus. Compared to H. acuminatus, H. diphreutes has a shorter snout, two-three rows of teeth, convex ventral profile of the head, more angular anal fins, and a black pattern extending to the longest soft rays on the posterior part of the anal fin. Molecular analyses showed that our specimen perfectly matched H. diphreutes based on mtDNA COI sequences data. We propose a new Korean name for H. diphreutes, "Jjal-beun-ib-du-dong-ga-li-dom".
