  • 다공질 실리콘(PS)기판 위에 rf-스퍼터링법으로 10~40 nm의 두께의 반 투과성 구리박막을 증착하였다. PS는 p형 (100) 실리콘 웨이퍼를 기판으로 50㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 전류밀도를 사용하여 전해 에칭법으로 양극 산화하여 제작하였다. PS층과 Cu박막의 미세구조를 분석하기 위하여 SEM, AFM 그리고 XRD 분석을 시행하였다. AFM 분석결과 Cu 박막의 RMS roughness 값은 약 1.47nm로 Volmer-Weber 유형의 결정립 성장을 보였으며, 결정립의 성장은 (111) 배향성을 나타냈다. PS층의 PL 스펙트럼은 blue green 영역에서 관찰되었고, Cu 박막 증착 후 0.05eV의 blue shift가 나타났으며, 약간의 강도저하를 보였다. PS/Cu접합구조의 FTIR스펙트럼은 주 피크변화는 없으나 전반적인 강도의 감소를 보였다. I-V 특성곡선으로 본 PS/Cu 접합구조는 ideality factor가 2.77이고 barrier의 높이가 0.678eV인 Schottky 유형의 다이오드 특성을 보였다. PS/Cu 접합구조로 만든 다이오드 제조로 EL특성을 관찰할 수 있었다.

  • A europium (III)-sensitized, spectrofluorimetric (FL) method is presented for the determination of sparfloxacin (SPAR) using an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS). The method is based on the strong fluorescence (FL) enhancement of SPAR after the addition of $Eu^{3+}$ ions as fluorescence probes. The experimental results indicated that the FL intensity of the SPAR-$Eu^{3+}$ system was enhanced markedly by SDBS. The maximum FL emission signal was obtained at about 615 nm when excited at 372 nm. The experimental conditions that affected the FL intensity of the SPAR-$Eu^{3+}$-SDBS system were optimized systematically. The enhanced FL intensity of the system exhibited a good linear relationship with the SPAR concentration over the range of $1.5{\times}10^{-9}-1.2{\times}10^{-7}mol\;L^{-1}$ with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9987. The limit of detection ($3{\delta}$) was $4.15{\times}10^{-10}mol\;L^{-1}$ with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.65%. This method was successfully applied for the determination of SPAR in pharmaceuticals, and human serum and urine samples with higher sensitivity, wide dynamic range and better stability. The possible interaction mechanism of the system is also discussed in detail by ultraviolet absorption spectra and FL spectra.

  • This study was carried out to develop a fully-controlled plant growth system for studying the effects of environmental factors on plant growth. The plant growth system consists of the growth chamber, the measurement system for sensing and signal conditioning the environmental factors and the control system which includes control algorithm required for optimum operation and on-line monitoring. The results of the study on the performance of the controlled plant growth system are summarized as follows : 1. Under the light intensity of 18,000~20,000 lux, the temperature was controlled in the range of $22{\pm}0.4^{\circ}C$, the relative humidity of $70{\pm}5%$ respectively. 2. The $CO_2$ concentration was controlled in the range of $1,000{\pm}40ppm$(from 1st to 4th day) and $1,500{\pm}40ppm$(from 4th to 9th day). 3. The electric conductivity(EC) and pH of the nutrient solution were controlled in the range of $1.9{\pm}0.2mS/cm$ and $6.8{\pm}0.5pH$ respectively. 4. Under the above environmental conditions, the average fresh weight of leaf lettuce increased from 10g to 74g in 9 days with 24 hour lighting.

  • To induce perturbed magnetic field variations in the range of auto prescans permitted, we chose artificially shim values and applied manualy as DC offsets to X, Y, Z gradient amplifiers. The STEAM spectra were obtained from a localized region (8ml) of phantom's center and a Marquart Algorithm is employed to quantify MRS spectra. Results indicated that Creatine (Cr) which had a good correlation between a signal intensity and an area, changed little bit and showed extremly a stabilized state in perturbed magnetic field variations. Therefore, during the MRS experiments, to minimize the SNR reduction by means of unavoidable inhomogeneous magnetic fields, the present study suggested that the quantification method of relative ratios produced by replacing Cr concentration with standard quantify was most desirable.

  • A large incoherent crosstalk (IC) caused by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power from Tx-disabled optical network units and a differential path loss has been shown to degrade upstream transmission performance in time-division multiplexing passive optical networks. This paper considers the IC-induced power penalty of an upstream signal both in an XG-PON and in a TWDM-PON. We investigate the degradation of the extinction ratio and relative intensity noise through a simulation and experiments. For the XG-PON case, we observe a 9.6 dB difference in the level of ASE noise power from Tx-disabled ONUs (hereafter known simply as ASE noise) between our result and the ITU-T XG-PON PMD recommendation. We propose an optical filtering method to mitigate an IC-induced power penalty. In the TWDM-PON case, the IC-induced power penalty is naturally negligible because the ASE noise is filtered by a wavelength multiplexer at the optical line terminal. The results provide design guidelines for the level of ASE noise in both XG-PONs and TWDM-PONs.

  • $\^$31/ P-NMR experiment was performed to detect phophonates (Pn) utilization and degradation in the several different C-P lyase mutants of E. coli and in E. aerogenes and the recombinants. The relative peak intensity (RPI) for the standard samples of 0.5 mM methylphosphonate (MPn) and 1.0 mM aminoethylphosphonate in glucose-MOPS medium showed 0.5 : 1.0 ratio. In the case of BW14329 (.DELTA.phnC-P, .delta.phoA), RPI did not change significantly after 24 hrs culturing, which means it nearly could not utilize Pn. In vivo $\^$31/ P-NMR spectrum of E. aerogens (BWKL 16627) during 3 hrs starvation showed two intense peaks at 0-2 ppm and at near-10 ppm which indicate intracellular orthophosphate (Pi) and pyrophosphate (PPi), respectively. Both of them might be released by degradation of inorganic polyphosphate pool. When MPn is supplied to the medium as an unique P source, Pi content in the cell has the constant, but PPi seems to be slightly decreased. Recombinants (BWKL 16954) grew slower than E. aerogenes in the glucose-MOPS media with various P sources. In vivo $\^$31/ P-NMR spectrum of recombinant did not show any intense signal in the cell. Surprisingly, under the cultivation adding with MPn, a few intense peaks in the region of Pi AND phospate monoester were detected.

  • Purpose: To evaluate interpretation errors involving spine MRIs by residents in their second to fourth year of training, classified as minor, intermediate and major discrepancies, as well as the types of commonly discordant lesions with or without clinical significance. Materials and Methods: A staff radiologist evaluated both preliminary and final reports of 582 spine MRIs performed in the emergency room from March 2011 to February 2013, involving (1) the incidence of report discrepancy, classified as minor if there was sufficient description of the main MR findings without ancillary or incidental lesions not influencing the main diagnosis, treatment, or patients' clinical course; intermediate if the correct diagnosis was made with insufficient or inadequate explanation, potentially influencing treatment or clinical course; and major if the discrepancy affected the main diagnosis; and (2) the common causes of discrepancy. We analyzed the differences in the incidence of discrepancy with respect to the training years of residents, age and sex of patients. Results: Interpretation discrepancy occurred in 229 of the 582 cases (229/582, 39.3%), including 146 minor (146/582, 25.1%), 40 intermediate (40/582, 6.9%), and 43 major cases (43/582, 7.4%). The common causes of major discrepancy were: over-diagnosis of fracture (n = 10), missed cord lesion (n = 9), missed signal abnormalities associated with diffuse marrow (n = 5), and failure to provide differential diagnosis of focal abnormal marrow signal intensity (n = 5). No significant difference was found in the incidence of minor, intermediate, and major discrepancies according to the levels of residency, patients' age or sex. Conclusion: A 7.4% rate of major discrepancies was found in preliminary reporting of emergency MRIs of spine interpreted by radiology residents, probably related to a relative lack of clinical experience, indicating the need for additional training, especially involving spine trauma, spinal cord and bone marrow lesions.

  • Background and Objectives: In masking level difference (MLD), the masked detection threshold for a signal is determined as a function of the relative interaural differences between the signal and the masker. Study 1 analyzed the results of school-aged children with good school performance in the MLD test, and study 2 compared their results with those of a group of children with poor academic performance. Subjects and Methods: Study 1 was conducted with 47 school-aged children with good academic performance (GI) and study 2 was carried out with 32 school-aged children with poor academic performance (GII). The inclusion criteria adopted for both studies were hearing thresholds within normal limits in basic audiological evaluation. Study 1 also considered normal performance in the central auditory processing test battery and absence of auditory complaints and/or of attention, language or speech issues. The MLD test was administered with a pure pulsatile tone of 500 Hz, in a binaural mode and intensity of 50 dBSL, using a CD player and audiometer. Results: In study 1, no significant correlation was observed, considering the influence of the variables age and sex in relation to the results obtained in homophase (SoNo), antiphase (SπNo) and MLD threshold conditions. The final mean MLD threshold was 13.66 dB. In study 2, the variables did not influence the test performance either. There was a significant difference between test results in SπNo conditions of the two groups, while no differences were found both in SoNo conditions and the final result of MLD. Conclusions: In study 1, the cut-off criterion of school-aged children in the MLD test was 9.3 dB. The variables (sex and age) did not interfere with the MLD results. In study 2, school performance did not differ in the MLD results. GII group showed inferior results than GI group, only in SπNo condition.
