  • $TiN_xO_y/TiN_x$ multi-layer thin films with a high resistance(${\sim}k{\Omega}$) were deposited on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates at room temperature by sputtering. The $TiN_x$ thin films show island and smooth surface morphology in samples prepared by ${\alpha}$ and RF magnetron sputtering, respectively. $TiN_xO_y/TiN_x$ multi-layer in has been developed to control temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) by the incorporation of $TiN_x$ layer(positive TCR) inserted into $TiN_xO_y$ layers(negative TCR). Electrical and structural properties of sputtered $TiN_xO_y/TiN_x$ multi-layer films were investigated as a function of annealing temperature. In order to achieve a stable high resistivity, multi-layer films were annealed at various temperatures in oxygen ambient. Samples annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 min exhibited good TCR value of approximately $-54 ppm/^{\circ}C$ and a stable high resistivity around $20k{\Omega}/sq$. with good reversibility.

  • The purpose of the study is to predict the number of police calls using neural network which is one of the machine learning and negative binomial regression, by using the data of 112 police calls received from Chungnam Provincial Police Agency from June 2016 to May 2017. The variables which may affect the police calls have been selected for developing the prediction model : time, holiday, the day before holiday, season, temperature, precipitation, wind speed, jurisdictional area, population, the number of foreigners, single house rate and other house rate. Some variables show positive correlation, and others negative one. The comparison of the methods can be summarized as follows. Neural network has correlation coefficient of 0.7702 between predicted and actual values with RMSE 2.557. Negative binomial regression on the other hand shows correlation coefficient of 0.7158 with RMSE 2.831. Neural network has low interpretability, but an excellent predictability compared with the negative binomial regression. Based on the prediction model, the police agency can do the optimal manpower allocation for given values in the selected variables.

  • The aim of the present study is to investigate the interannual variabilities of the East Asia monsoon rainfall associated with the global sea surface temperature anomaly(SSTA). For this study, the summer rainfall(from June to August) over the twenty-eight period of 1961-1988 were analyzed with being divided by nine-subregions over East Asia including Korea, China and Japan. From the analysis of the principal modes explaining the interannual variation, the interannual variabilities of summer rainfalls in South Japan and Korea are larger than those of the other subregions of the East Asia. There is a strong negative correlation between the summer rainfalls of south China and Korea. In this study, the relationship between the summer monsoon of each subregion and SSTs of the tropical NINO regions, of western Pacific warm pool, and of the subtropical ocean were investigated. The longitudinal sections of the lagged cross correlations of the summer rainfal1 anomaly in (a) Korea and (b) south China, and the monthly SSTA in the equatorial(averaged from 65 to 6N) Pacific were analyzed. The negative maximum correlation pattems of Korea''s stammer rainfal1 and SSTs over the eastern Pacific is transfered to positive maximum conrlation over central Pacific region with a biennial periodicity. In South China, the significant positive correlations are found at -12 month lag over the eastern Pacific and maximum negative correlation at 16 month lag over the central Pacific with the quasi-biennial oscillation. But the correlation coefficient reverses completely to that in Korea. In order to investigate the most prevailing interannual variability of rainfall related to the favored SSTA region, the lagged cross correlations between East Asia rainfall and SSTs over the moO regions(NINO 1+2(0-105, 90W-80W), NINO 3(5N-5S, 150W-90W), NINO 4(5N-5S, 160E-l50W) and the western Pacific worm pool (5N-5S, 120E-l60E) were analyzed. Among the lagged cross-correlation cycles in NINO regions, the maximum correlations for the negative lagged months prevail in NINO 1+2 and NINO 3, and the cross correlations for the positive lagged months NINO 4. It is noteworthy that correlation between the western Pacific warm pool SSTA and the monsoon rainfall in Korea and South China have the maximum value at negative 4 month lag. The evolution of the correlation between the East Asia monsoon rainfall and SSTA is linked to the equatorial convective cluster and related to northward propagating situation, and raising the possibility that the East Asia monsoon precipitation may be more fundamentally related to the interaction of intraseasonal oscillations and the sub-regional characteristics including the surface boundary conditions and the behavior of climatological air mass.

  • In this study, we have investigated the water quality and flow rate at the 3 sites of main stream and 11 sites of the branch stream of Hwang River from January, 2007 to 2010, and analyzed the effects on Hwang River with the purpose of using the data for as the fundamental information for water quality improvement and water resource management in the water system of Hap-Cheon Lake Upper Stream. The flow rate at 3 sites of the main stream and 11 sites of the branch stream increased during the rainy season between June and September, and continuously decreased during the dry season starting from autumn to winter. The results of correlation analysis with Pearson correlation coefficient showed that $BOD_5$ and $COD_{Mn}$, $BOD_5$ and T-P, and $COD_{Mn}$ and TSS at the 3 sites of the main stream had high correlation with each other. We have also analyzed the correlation between Chl-a and major factors at the 3 sites of the main stream. Chl-a and the water temperature Negative correlation coefficient and that of Chl-a and $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$ Positive correlation coefficient showed. The N/P ratio at all the 3 sites of the main stream was higher than 16 by DIN/DIP and T-N/T-P, indicating that phosphorus is acting as the limited nutrient.

  • Clonal differences in fertility (expressed as the number of female and male strobili) were determined for five consecutive years (2002-2006) in a clonal seed orchard of Chamaecyparis obtusa. Fertility varied among clones and among years with producing five-year averages of 378.8 and 871.2 for female and male strobili per ramet, respectively. Correlation between female and male strobilus production was positive over the five years and statistically significant. Based on the observed fertility variation, the effective population sizes (estimated by status numbers, $N_e$) were calculated and varied from 24.3 to 47.9 (48.6% to 95.8% of census number, N) among the five studied years. On average (pooled), the relative effective population size was 82% of the N. Variation in female fertility was higher than that in male fertility, and this variation was reflected on female and male parents' status numbers. Pooled $N_e$ estimated from the five years was higher than that from poor seed production years. From our results, it was concluded that genetic diversity collected from good flowering years would be higher than that from poor flowering years.

  • The SIT, a Static Induction Transistor, is a semiconductor switch that is also called the power junction field-effect transistor (power JFET). Its characteristics are similar to a MOSFET except that its power level is higher and its maximum frequency of operation is lower. The normal method to protect against internal circuit transients of the form of di/dt or dv/dt is the use of snubber circuits. However, the limits of di/dt and dv/dt are high enough for the SIT that it is possible to operate without snubber circuits. SITs can be connected in parallel in order to cope with higher load currents that the value of an individual device rating. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parallel operation of SITs. In this experiment, we used a half-bridge inverter, the output of inverter is up to almost 1MHz and 2kW. Experimental results show that the operation of parallel connected SITs are facilitated individually good current sharing. The reason is the positive temperature coefficient of resistance of the SIT.

  • $BaTiO_3$는 현재 전기 전자 부속 산업엣 필수적인 재료로서, multilayer capacitor,positive temperature coefficient(PTC) resistor, grain-boundary battier layer capacitor(GBBLC)등에 쓰이고 있다. $BaTiO_3$의 전기적 특성을 최대화하기 위해서는 미세구조가 최적화 되어야만 하는데 일반적으로 수 마이트로 이내의 작고 균일한 크기의 입자크기가 바람직하다. 그러나 $BaTiO_3$계에서 화학양론의 조성이 정확하게 일치하지 않거나 $La^{3+}$$Nb^{5+}$같은 첨가제가 들어가지 않으면 비정상 입자 성장은 자발적으로 일어난다. 그러나 첨가제는 $BaTiO_3$의 강자성 특성에 영향을 주게 되므로 첨가제 없이 비정상 입자 성장을 억제할 수 있는 것이 바람직한 방법이며, 이 것이 본 실험의 목표이다. 본 실험에서는 0.4-mol%-$TiO_2$가 첨가된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말을 디스크 형태로 성형하여 $H_2$ 분위기, 1250에서 5시간동안 열처리한 후, 공기 중, 1300도에서 48시간까지 소결한 후 미세조직을 관찰하였다. 소결 전에 $H_2$ 분위기에서 열처리를 함으로서 초기 입자 크기는 증가하게 되고 이로 인한 계의 성장 구동력 감소로 비정상 입자 성장이 억제되었으며 균일하고 미세한 입자 크기를 가지는$BaTiO_3$ 소결체를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 비정상이 억제되지 않은 $BaTiO_3$의 유전 특성보다 우수한 유전 특성을 나타내었다. 본 실험을 통해서 첨가제를 사용하지 않고 우수한 유전 특성을 가지는 미세한 균일한 입자의 $BaTiO_3$를 제조하는 새로운 기술을 개발하였다.

  • In this paper, the defrosting characteristics of a PTC heating sheet is investigated by means of a defrosting heat source for the fin-tube heat exchanger in a refrigerator The defrosting characteristics of the PTC heating sheet are examined and compared with those of a conventional electric heater experimentally. It is found that the characteristics of the water draining rate with the defrosting time show a smoothly oscillating pattern when the PTC heating sheet Is used, and the drained water is completely melted. The defrosting efficiency of the PTC heating sheet is found to be about 75%, which is about 25% higher than that of the electric heater. Also, the reduction of the defrosting time and the increment of the defrosting efficiency may be obtained by improving the arrangement of the heating elements of the healing sheet. It is shown that the defrosting time of the PTC heating sheet increases linearly with the amount of frost, whereas the defrosting efficiency is nearly constant. When applying the PTC heating sheet to the refrigerating system, one should notice the fact that the defrosting performance of the PTC heating sheet may be degraded due to the repetitive operations.

  • The effect of $B_2O_3$ addition on the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ ceramic system were investigated. Highly dense samples were obtained at the sintering temperatures below $900^{\circ}C$. Temperature coefficient of resonance frequency(${\tau}_f$) changes to a positive value with increasing the amount of $B_2O_3$ because of the increased amount of rutile phase. The $Q{\times}f_o$ values were determined by the microstructures and sintering shrinkages which are affected by the rutile or second phase. When 6.19 mol.% of $B_2O_3$ added and sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 5h, it exhibits ${\epsilon}_r$ =23.5, $Q{\times}f_o$= 67,500 GHz, and ${\tau}f=-1.42ppm/^{\circ}C$.
