  • This paper considers whether random sampling always produces more accurate survey results in the case of South Korea. We compare information from the 2010 census to the demographic variables of three public opinion surveys from South Korea: Gallup Korea's Omnibus Survey (Survey A) is conducted every two months by Gallup Korea; the annual Social Survey (Survey B) is conducted by Statistics Korea (KOSTAT); the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS or Survey C) is conducted annually by the Survey Research Center (SRC) at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). Survey A uses quota sampling after randomly selecting the neighborhood and initial addresses; Survey B uses random sampling, but allows replacements in some situations; Survey C uses simple random sampling. Data from more than one year was used for each survey. Our analysis suggests that Survey B is the most representative in most respects, and, in some respects, Survey A may be more representative than Survey C. Data from Survey C was the least stable in terms of representativeness by geographical area and age. Single-person households were underrepresented in both Surveys A and C, but the problem was more severe in Survey A. Four-person households and married persons were both over-represented in Survey A. Less educated people were under-represented in both Survey A and Survey C. There were differences in income level between Survey A and Survey C, but income data was not available for Survey B or the census, so it is difficult to ascertain which survey was more representative in this case.

  • This paper describes a 4.224GHz CMOS charge pump PLL for Mode 1 MB-OFDM UWB hopping carrier generation. It includes a qudrature VCO of which the frequency range is from 3.98GHz to 4.47GHz(@ 0.4 to 1.5 V), a divider, a PFD, a loop filter, a charge pump, and a lock detector. Designed in a 0.18um CMOS technology, the PLL draws 6.6mA from a 1.8V supply. The phase noise of the designed VCO is -133dBc/Hz@3MHz.

  • To identify the antimicrobial activity, of tumeric and its active compound tumeric was fractionated into four groups dichloromethane extract, hexane fraction, methanol soluble fraction and residue's extract. They were tested for antibacterial activity against E. coil and S. aureus and the methanol soluble fraction was found lo be the most active fraction. Compound I, II and III were isolated from TLC and silica gel column chromatography in the methanol soluble fraction. These compounds were analyzed by $^1H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$ spectra and identified as curcumin I, II and III. They were also tested for antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Curcumin I was the must active curcuminoids due to the phenolic and methoxyl$(OCH_3)$ moiety in the same molecular structure.

  • The three electrode system was used to detect the pesticide fenitrothion ($C_9H_{12}NO_5PS$. MW=277.24) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The working electrode was mercury immobilized on a carbon nanotube paste electrode (Hg-CNTPE). At the optimized condition, the limit of detection (LoD) was 0.6 ppt ($2.16{\times}10^{-12}\;M$), and the relative standard deviation was 0.035% (n=15). And there is more sensitive in detecting fenitrothion than common type carbon nanotube paste electrode. When it was implanted into the brain of live fish (carp), the existence of fenitrothion was measured without any destruction or damage of tissue.

  • Two-dimensional elastic contact problems, including normal, tangential, and rolling contacts, are treated with the finite element method in this study. Stress boundary conditions and kinematic conditions are transformed into multiple point constraints for nodal displacements in the finite element method. Upon imposing these constraints into the finite element system equations, the calculated nodal stresses and nodal displacements satisfy stress and displacement contact conditions exactly. Frictional and frictionless contacts between elastically identical as well as elastically dissimilar materials are treated in this study. The contact lengths, sizes of slip and stick regions, the normal and the shear stresses can be found.

  • A study on the wear characteristics of the white metal(Sn-base alloy) bearing as a function of particle contamination level was conducted in order to establish control criteria of the lubricant in the 2-stroke marine diesel engine. Particle contamination level of the lubricants ranged from NAS 10 to 12 for the experiments. Bar-on-plate type wear test was performed using reciprocating wear tester. Based on this study it was found that there was no noticeable difference in weight loss of the white metal for NAS10 and NAS11(particle contamination level). Surface roughness of the white metal bearing after the wear test of 8hrs for the highly contaminated lubricant(NAS12 level) was up to $6{\mu}m$ in Rmax whilst that of the less contaminated lubricants(NAS10 & 11) was less than $1.5{\mu}m$ in Rmax.

  • We demonstrated a single balanced mixer of the combination of high-T. superconductor (HTS) and III-V GaAs beam lead Schottky diodes operating in the mini-cryogenic chamber. The HTS hybrid mixer was designed with a center frequency of 27.5 GHz and a bandwidth of 1 GHz, and consisted of a rat-race coupler circuit with beam-lead diodes attached to its balanced ports. The HTS hybrid mixer with 1 GHz RF bandwidths exhibits a conversion loss of 6 dB. A LO-to-RF isolation was greater than 40 dB in the range of operating frequencies. Since the HTS/III-V hybrid mixer devices have lower noise and conversion loss, this technique provide us with new capabilities that can be effectively utilized in the field of local-point distribution service (LMDS) systems.

  • This Paper presents dynamic analysis of underground R/C Subway Structure, subjected to seismic actions. Earthquakes brought serious damage to RC subway Structure. Foe studying the collapse mechanism of underground RC Subway, seismic of a subway station is simulated in using FEM program ASP2000 of two-dimension based on the path dependent RC elastic model, soil foundation and interfacial models. The shear failure of intermediate vertical columns is founds to be the major cause of the structural collapse. According to FEM simulation of the failure mechanism, it is considered that the RC column would lose axial load carrying capacity after the occurrence of the localized diagonal shear cracks , and sudden failure of the outer frame would be followed. Specially, the shear stress in the middle slab reaches maximum shear capacity. So, the Structure would fail in the middle slab as a result of erasing the vertical ground motion computation.

  • We propose a novel scheme to transmit high center frequency RF signals using electroabsorption devices (EADs) as frequency converters at the transmitter and the receiver. In this approach frequency heterodyning is employed for obtaining high center frequency. With the EAD as a detector/mixer at the receiver we demonstrated a smaller conversion loss than that of the conventional modulator/mixer. With EAD as a modulator/mixer at the transmitter and with two heterodyned lasers to generate an optical local oscillator (LO), we demonstrated a large reduction (${\sim}23dB$) in conversion loss, and the transmission is not limited by the optical saturation of the EAD. This transmission scheme has optical single-side-band transmission feature which greatly relieves the fiber dispersion effect.
