Evaluating stiffness of near-surface materials has been one of the critically important tasks in many civil engineering works. It is the main goal of geotechnical characterization. The so-called deflection-response method evaluates the stiffness by measuring stress-strain behavior of the materials caused by static or dynamic load. This method, however, evaluates the overall stiffness and the stiffness variation with depth cannot be obtained. Furthermore, evaluation of a large-area geotechnical site by this method can be time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to many surface points of the site. Wave-propagation method, on the other hand, measures seismic velocities at different depths and stiffness profile (stiffness change with depth) can be obtained from the measured velocity data. The stiffness profile is often expressed by shear-wave (S-wave) velocity change with depth because S-wave velocity is proportional to the shear modulus. that is a direct indicator of stiffiiess. The crosshole and downhole method measures the seismic velocity by placing sources and receivers (geophones) at different depths in a borehole. Requirement of borehole installation makes this method also time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to the sites. Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method places both source and receivers at the surface, and records horizontally-propagating surface waves. Based upon the theory of surfacewave dispersion, the seismic velocities at different depths are calculated by analyzing the recorded surface-wave data. This method can be nondestructive to the sites. However, because only two receivers are used, the method requires multiple measurements with different field setups and, therefore, the method often becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore. the inclusion of noise wavefields cannot be handled properly, and this may cause the results by this method inaccurate. When multi-channel recording method is employed during the measurement of surface-waves, there are several benefits. First, usually single measurement is enough because multiple number (twelve or more) of receivers are used. Second, noise inclusion can be detected by coherency checking on the multi-channel data and handled properly so that it does not decrease the accuracy of the result. Third, various kinds of multi-channel processing techniques can be applied to f1lter unwanted noise wavefields and also to analyze the surface-wavefields more accurately and efficiently. In this way, the accuracy of the result by the method can be significantly improved. Fourth, the entire system of source, receivers, and recording-processing device can be tied into one unit, and the unit can be pulled by a small vehicle, making the survey speed very fast. In all these senses, multi-channel recording of surface waves is best suited for a routine method for geotechnical characterization in most of civil engineering works.

Perovskite manganites such as $RE_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ (RE = rare earth, A = Ca, Sr, Ba) have been the subject of intense research in the last few years, ever since the discovery that these systems demonstrate colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The CMR is usually explained with the double-exchange (DE) mechanism, and CMR materials have potential applications for magnetic switching, recording devices, and more. However, the intrinsic CMR effect is usually found under the conditions of a magnetic field of several Teslas and a narrow temperature range near the Curie temperature ($T_c$). This magnetic field and temperature range make practical applications impossible. Recently, another type of MR, called the low-field magnetoresistance(LFMR), has also been a research focus. This MR is typically found in polycrystalline half-metallic ferromagnets, and is associated with the spin-dependent charge transport across grain boundaries. Composites with compositions $La_{0.7}(Ca_{1-x}Sr_x)_{0.3}MnO_3)]_{0.99}/(BaTiO_3)_{0.01}$ $[(LCSMO)_{0.99}/(BTO)_{0.01}]$were prepared with different Sr doping levels x by a standard ceramic technique, and their electrical transport and magnetoresistance (MR) properties were investigated. The structure and morphology of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). BTO peaks could not be found in the XRD pattern because the amount of BTO in the composites was too small. As the content of x decreased, the crystal structure changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral. This change can be explained by the fact that the crystal structure of pure LCMO is orthorhombic and the crystal structure of pure LSMO is rhombohedral. The SEM results indicate that LCSMO and BTO coexist in the composites and BTO mostly segregates at the grain boundaries of LCSMO, which are in accordance with the results of the magnetic measurements. The resistivity of all the composites was measured in the range of 90-400K at 0T, 0.5T magnetic field. The result indicates that the MR of the composites increases systematically as the Ca concentration increases, although the transition temperature $T_c$ shifts to a lower range.

의료, 화학 분야의 연구실에서 사용되는 시스템은 일반적으로 내부 온도만 측정하여 보관하고 내부의 시약 관리를 수기로 기록한다. 이로 인해 시약 보관 시 내부에서 발생하는 문제를 실시간으로 인식하지 못해 사고가 발생하고 시약 보관 시 사용 기록이 누락되어 효율적인 시약 관리에 대한 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 실험실에서 임베디드 보드와 센서를 활용해 시약을 효과적으로 관리하는 시약 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 NFC(Near Field Communication)를 이용해 시약의 정보를 데이터화 하여 관리자가 위험 시약을 등록 및 관리하고, 시약 사용자를 식별 할 수 있으며, 온도, 습도, VOC 센서들을 활용하여 제어하게 한다. 또한 특정 위험 상황 발생 시 관리자에게 메시지를 전달하여 알려준다. 이는 실험실에서 효율적인 시약 관리를 가능하게 할 것으로 사료된다.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a convenient term to indicate the compositions of the various forms of amorphous carbon (a-C), tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), hydrogenated amorphous carbon and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (a-C:H and ta-C:H). The a-C film with disordered graphitic ordering, such as soot, chars, glassy carbon, and evaporated a-C, is shown in the lower left hand corner. If the fraction of sp3 bonding reaches a high degree, such an a-C is denoted as tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), in order to distinguish it from sp2 a-C [2]. Two hydrocarbon polymers, that is, polyethylene (CH2)n and polyacetylene (CH)n, define the limits of the triangle in the right hand corner beyond which interconnecting C-C networks do not form, and only strait-chain molecules are formed. The DLC films, i.e. a-C, ta-C, a-C:H and ta-C:H, have some extreme properties similar to diamond, such as hardness, elastic modulus and chemical inertness. These films are great advantages for many applications. One of the most important applications of the carbon-based films is the coating for magnetic hard disk recording. The second successful application is wear protective and antireflective films for IR windows. The third application is wear protection of bearings and sliding friction parts. The fourth is precision gages for the automotive industry. Recently, exciting ongoing study [1] tries to deposit a carbon-based protective film on engine parts (e.g. engine cylinders and pistons) taking into account not only low friction and wear, but also self lubricating properties. Reduction of the oil consumption is expected. Currently, for an additional application field, the carbon-based films are extensively studied as excellent candidates for biocompatible films on biomedical implants. The carbon-based films consist of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, which are biologically harmless as well as the main elements of human body. Some in vitro and limited in vivo studies on the biological effects of carbon-based films have been studied [$2{\sim}5$].The carbon-based films have great potentials in many fields. However, a few technological issues for carbon-based film are still needed to be studied to improve the applicability. Aisenberg and Chabot [3] firstly prepared an amorphous carbon film on substrates remained at room temperature using a beam of carbon ions produced using argon plasma. Spencer et al. [4] had subsequently developed this field. Many deposition techniques for DLC films have been developed to increase the fraction of sp3 bonding in the films. The a-C films have been prepared by a variety of deposition methods such as ion plating, DC or RF sputtering, RF or DC plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD), ion implantation, ablation, pulsed laser deposition and cathodic arc deposition, from a variety of carbon target or gaseous sources materials [5]. Sputtering is the most common deposition method for a-C film. Deposited films by these plasma methods, such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) [6], are ranged into the interior of the triangle. Application fields of DLC films investigated from papers. Many papers purposed to apply for tribology due to the carbon-based films of low friction and wear resistance. Figure 1 shows the percentage of DLC research interest for application field. The biggest portion is tribology field. It is occupied 57%. Second, biomedical field hold 14%. Nowadays, biomedical field is took notice in many countries and significantly increased the research papers. DLC films actually applied to many industries in 2005 as shown figure 2. The most applied fields are mold and machinery industries. It took over 50%. The automobile industry is more and more increase application parts. In the near future, automobile industry is expected a big market for DLC coating. Figure 1 Research interests of carbon-based filmsFigure 2 Demand ratio of DLC coating for industry in 2005. In this presentation, I will introduce a trend of carbon-based coating research and applications.

본 논문에서는 프레임율의 저하없이 개선된 해상도를 얻을 수 있는 동시 다중 송신집속 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 짧은 펄스를 사용하여 한 영역에 고정 송신 집속하는 기존의 방법과는 달리 여러 송신 집속점에 서로 독립적으로 집속된 쳐프 신호들을 동시에 송신한다. 수신된 신호는 정합 과정을 통하여 송신 집속 위치에 따라 각 쳐프 신호로 분리되고 짧은 펄스로 압축된다. 이렇게 압축되고 분리된 신호들은 각각 수신 동적 집속된 후 거리에 따라 집속 위치별로 선택되고 하나의 신호로 결합되어 개선된 측방향 해상도의 영상을 구성한다. 송신시 동시에 여러 위치에 초음파를 집속하고 수신시 이를 분리하기 위해서 사용된 터프 신호들은 주파수 대역에서 분할되어 서로 직교 특성을 갖도록 설계되었는데 변환자의 제한된 대역폭내에 많은 수의 의미있는 쳐프 신호를 설계하기 위해서 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 대역 겹침을 허용하였다. 이때 대역 겹침으로 발생한 상호상관값의 상승을 억제하기 위해 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 변화 방향을 엇갈리게 하는 밥법을 제안하였다. 특히 대역분할로 설계된 쳐프 신호중 낮은 주파수 성분의 신호를 변환자로부터 가까운 지역에 집속하고 높은 주파수 성분의 쳐프 신호를 먼 지역에 집속함으로써 깊이에 따라 영상의 해상도의 질을 일정하게 유지시켰다 더욱이 상관기를 이용한 정합 과정에서 신호가 압축되기 때문에 펄스 압축 기법에서 얻는 SNR를 증가시키는 이점이 있다 이때 상관기를 통한 압축 과정에서 쳐프 신호의 첨두값이 쳐프 신호의 길이에 따라 증가하기 때문에 깊이에 따를 높은 주파수 성분의 감쇄에도 불구하고 이렇게 높은 주파수 성분의 터프 신호를 깊은 지역에 사용할 수 있었다. 제안한 동시 다중 송신집속 기반의 시스템을 상관기의 위치에 따라 이상적인 구조와 현실적인 구조로 나타냈으며, 모사 실험을 통하여 기존의 펄스 집속 기법과 비교하여 그 성능을 검증하였다.hrough the medium. By digitizing the analog receiver outputs, and recording the signals for spectral analysis, surface wave velocities can be identified. Modifications to the SASW method includes the reduction of boundary reflections as adopted on the surface waves before the point where the reflected compression waves reach the receivers. In this study, the correlation between the surface wave velocity and the compressive strength of cement mortar is developed using one 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slab of 2,000 psi (140 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and two 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slabs of 3,000 psi (210 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). public transportation, and availability of locally grown food were the important factors for deciding the place compared to those who had higher education. The price was the factor which
