Present study investigates on the impact of resources and characteristics of the tenure choice for divorced women in Korea. The authors utilize the micro data from the Korea Census (2% sample) provided by the National Statistical Office. The authors apply the bivariate probit model to eliminate selection bias that could incur due to sample selectivity, from a chain of marital disruption and tenure choices. This study starts with a descriptive explanation of homeownership after divorce from 1985 to 2005. It concluded that divorce results in a substantial attrition of homeownership. The authors found that out for many women, divorce initiates a process of downward mobility on the housing ladder. The probability to own housing is much lower for divorced women than for women who are not divorced. The present study concludes by suggesting some policy implications for divorced women who have limited access to housing stability. The authors also suggest some future studies that can compensate the empirical limitations of the present study.

We prepared blocking layers by adding 0.0 ~ 0.6 wt% nano diamond blends (DBs) to $TiO_2$ blocking layers to improve the energy conversion efficiencies (ECEs) of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). TEM and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the microstructure and phases of DBs, respectively. Optical microscopy and FE-SEM were used to analyze the microstructure of the $TiO_2$ blocking layer with DBs. UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used to determine the absorbance of the working electrodes. A solar simulator and a potentiostat were used to determine the photovoltaic properties and the impedance of the DSSCs with DBs. From the results of the DBs analysis, we determined a 6.97 nm combination of nano diamonds and graphite. We confirmed that ECE increased from 5.64 to 6.48 % when the added DBs increased from 0.0 to 0.2 wt%. This indicates that the effective surface area and electron mobility increased when DBs were added to the $TiO_2$ blocking layer. Our results indicate that the ECE of DSSCs can be enhanced by adding an appropriate amount of DBs to the $TiO_2$ blocking layers.

Multimode planar waveguides have been fabricated by an electric-field assisted ion exchange in soda-lime glass substrates. Measurements of the mode indices have been made and the index profiles modeled on modified Fermi function are explained by a comparative analysis with the concentration profiles obtained using an electron probe X-ray micro analyzer. The analytical measurements showed that no more than 95% of sodium ions were replaced by the cesium ions. We established formulas for guide depth, mobility, and refractive index change, given the applied electric field, the diffusion temperature, and the time. We have verified the linear relations in the formulas not only between guide and root of diffusion time but also between guide depth and the applied electric filed experimentally.

Soil stabilization is a soil remediation technique that reduces the mobility of heavy metals in soils. Although it is a well-established technique, it is nonetheless essential to perform a follow-up chemical assessment via a leaching test to evaluate the immobilization of heavy metals in the soil matrix. Unfortunately, a standard chemical assessment is not sufficient for evaluation of the biological functional state of stabilized soils slated for agricultural use. Therefore, it is useful to employ a pyrosequencing-based microbial community analysis for the purpose. In this study, a recently stabilized site in the proximity of an exhausted mine was analyzed for bacterial diversity, richness, and relative abundance as well as the effect of environmental factors. Based on the Shannon and Chao1 indices and rarefaction curves, the results showed that the stabilized layer exhibited lower bacterial diversity than control soils. The prevalence of dominant bacterial populations was examined in a hierarchical manner. Relatively high abundances of Proteobacteria and Methylobacter tundripaludum were observed in the stabilized soil. In particular, there was substantial abundance of the Methylobacter genus, which is known for its association with heavy metal contamination. The study demonstrated the efficacy of (micro)biological assessment for aiding in the understanding and post-management of stabilized soils.

This study focuses on whether non-standard workers are matched by voluntary contract with employers in the labor market and analyzes the factors of involuntary choice of non-standard employees that are diverse by firm size. For the analysis I consider non-standard employees as either voluntary or involuntary according to the push/pull theory based on labor mobility. The Economic Activity Census Added Survey data 2016 show that the proportion of involuntary non-standard employees is greater than voluntary ones as the firm size is smaller. As a result of the analysis, involuntary non-standard employees are not significantly discriminated from voluntary non-standard employees in large firms. However, in small and medium-sized firms and micro small-sized firms, workers are more likely to be involuntarily non-standard if they are older or less educated. In addition, they are more likely to be employed involuntarily in micro small-sized firms than in small and medium-sized firms. Therefore, we should take into account the mismatching problems of compensation, specialty, and career in order to establish policies on non-standard workers. In addition to the financial support for small and medium-sized and micro small-sized firms, it is necessary to provide workers with job information that matches their job skills and career experiences.

In the studies on residential move, there has been tendency of dichotomy where short distance moves are largely caused by housing to adjust to changes in households while long distance moves are induced by shift in labor market. However, some empirical studies have proven that residential move is so complex process that the simple dichotomy should be elaborated. In this sense, the present study seeks to identify compounded course of residential move in Korea. In determining migration history, families with younger householders, renters, householders with higher educational attainment and smaller households show a higher probability to move. In case of mobility, women were more prone to move compared to man. Women compared to man, older age augmented the probability to own a house after migration. Families with householders following an occupation of sales and technical service showed lowest tendency to own houses while it marked the highest in the group of professionals. Higher land price of a region was negatively related to owning houses after migration. The present study revealed that factors in macro level as well as micro level significantly affect the move of individuals with varying effects in accordance with migration history.

최근 화석연료의 고갈과 환경 보전 및 에너지 절약에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 화석연료의 소비를 최소화하고 실내조건을 쾌적하게 유지하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 국내의 경우 전체 에너지 소비의 30%이상을 차지하고 있는 건물부문에서의 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 이에 따른 에너지절약 소재개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 1975년 이후 여러 차례에 걸친 단열강화 조치를 통해 건물에서의 에너지 소모를 줄이고 있었으나 건물의 외벽에 대한 사항으로 한정되어있었고, 또한 건물의 창 면적이 증가함에 따라 창을 통한 열손실량과 열획득량이 더욱 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 열반사유리에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 열반사유리는 근적외선(열선)영역의 빛을 반사시켜 실내의 열손실량 및 외부에서의 열획득량을 감소시켜 에너지의 소비를 줄일 수 있는 유리을 말한다. 이러한 열반사유리은 fresnel 방정식을 통해 빛의 파장대에 따른 반사율 및 투과도를 예측할 수 있는데, 다층박막구조인 Oxide-Metal-Oxide(OMO)구조는 Oxide의 높은 굴절률과 Metal의 낮은 굴절률을 통해 가시광영역대의 높은 투과도와 근적외선 영역의 높은 반사율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 Metal층을 삽입함으로서 flexible한 코팅이 가능하고, 높은 carrier density와 mobility로 표면 플라즈몬 공명을 통해 특정 파장대의 반사율을 높일 수 있으므로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. $TiO_2$는 고굴절률 및 낮은 광흡수성의 특성을 가지는 산화물반도체로 기존의 $In_2O_3$계 산화물에 비해 값이 싸고 높은 안정성과 광촉매특성을 보이므로 외부에 노출된 환경에 적합한 재료이다. Ag는 저굴절률과 낮은 광흡수성을 가지는 재료로 금속층에 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 fresnel 방정식을 통해 반사도 및 투과도를 예측하고 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 다층박막을 열선인 적외선 영역에서의 반사율 및 반사 효율을 평가하였다. Index-matching 시뮬레이션을 통해 $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ 다층박막의 투과도와 반사도를 이론적으로 검토하였다. 시뮬레이션 프로그램은 Macleod프로그램을 이용하였고 재료 각각의 굴절률은 Ellipsometry를 이용하여 측정하였다. 두께 40 nm 와 8 ~ 16 nm를 가지는 $TiO_2$층과 Ag층을 각각 RF/DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Glass기판 위에 증착하였다. 직경 3 in 의 $TiO_2$, Ag 소결체 타깃을 이용하였고 스퍼터링 파워는 각각 200 W, 50 W로 설정하였고, 스퍼터링 가스는 Ar가스의 유량을 20 sccm으로 설정하였다. 작업압력은 모두 1 Pa로 설정하였고 타깃 표면의 불순물 및 이물질 제거를 위해 Pre-sputtering을 10분 진행하였다. 박막의 두께는 reflectometer와 Alphastep을 이용하여 측정하였고 Hall effect measurement를 이용하여 비저항, carrier density, mobility등 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 또한 UV-VIS spectrometer와 USPM-RU-W NIR Micro-Spectrophotometer를 통해 광학적 특성을 측정하였고 계산 값과 비교분석하였다. 또한 열반사 특성을 평가하기 위해 직접 set-up한 장비를 이용하였다. 단열 박스에 샘플을 장착해 적외선 램프를 조사하였을 때의 열 반사효율을 평가하였고, IR Camera를 이용하여 단열 박스 내부의 온도 변화를 관찰하였다.

This paper is to consider conceptually a formation of food-networks and border-crossing of transnational marriage migrant households on the basis of actor-network theory, and to analyze empirical data on the issues collected by interview with marriage migrant women living around Daegu, S.Korea. Some research results can be argued as follows: First, food can be seen, not as a single material object, but as a multiple and hybrid network of human and nonhuman (material and institutional) actors, in which activities of food cooking and eating are regulated by and (re)construct social relations and placeness of households. Secondly, food-networks in marriage migrant households implement relationships of micro-power (and attachment) in the process of its (re)formation, and hence the food-network, it can be argued, is a field of power in which conflicts and compromising around food cooking and eating are intersecting each others. Thirdly, food-networks in marriage migrant households in both their origin country and in the Korean home are not only affected by macro natural and social environments but also by micro placeness of the households, both of which constitute the food-networks and operate in relations with other actors in the netwroks. Finally, food-networks in marriage migrant households reflect multiple and multi-scalar spatial mobility and placeness of transnational food culture, through which they express topologically 'fluid space' and 'absent presence', in which marriage migrant women can (or cannot) conduct social and cultural border-crossing.
