In this work, we have grown or evaporated thermal oxide and E-beam oxide on the (100) oriented n-type silicon wafers, respectively and they were directly bonded with another silicon wafer after hydrophilization using solutions of three types of $HNO_3$, $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $NH_{4}OH$. Changes of average surface roughness after hydrophilizations of the single crystalline silicon wafer, thermal oxide and E-beam evaporated silicon oxide were studied using atomic force microscope. Bonding interfaces of the bonded pairs were inspected using scanning electron microscope. Void and non-contact area of the bonded pairs were also inspected using infrared transmission microscope.

We have performed silicon-to-silicon anodic bonding using glass layer deposited by electron beam evaporation. Wafers can be bonded at $135^{\circ}C$ with an applied voltage of $35V_{DC}$, which enables application of this technique to the vacuum packaging of microelectronic devices, because its bonding temperature and voltage are low. From the experimental results, we have found that the evaporated glass layer more than $1\;{\mu}$ m thick was suitable for anodic bonding. The role of sodium ions for anodic bonding was also investigated by theoretical bonding mechanism and experimental inspection.

It is well known that the distributional properties of financial asset returns exhibit fatter-tails and skewer-mean than the assumption of normal distribution. The correct assumption of return distribution might improve the estimated performance of the Value-at-Risk(VaR) models in financial markets. In this paper, we estimate and compare the VaR performance using the RiskMetrics, GARCH and FIGARCH models based on the normal and skewed-Student-t distributions in two daily returns of the Korean Composite Stock Index(KOSPI) and Korean Won-US Dollar(KRW-USD) exchange rate. We also perform the expected shortfall to assess the size of expected loss in terms of the estimation of the empirical failure rate. From the results of empirical VaR analysis, it is found that the presence of long memory in the volatility of sample returns is not an important in estimating an accurate VaR performance. However, it is more important to consider a model with skewed-Student-t distribution innovation in determining better VaR. In short, the appropriate assumption of return distribution provides more accurate VaR models for the portfolio managers and investors.

A three-party password-based authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol allows two clients registered with a trusted server to generate a common cryptographic key from their individual passwords shared only with the server. A key requirement for three-party PAKE protocols is to prevent an adversary from mounting a dictionary attack. This requirement must be met even when the adversary is a malicious (registered) client who can set up normal protocol sessions with other clients. This work revisits three existing three-party PAKE protocols, namely, Guo et al.'s (2008) protocol, Huang's (2009) protocol, and Lee and Hwang's (2010) protocol, and demonstrates that these protocols are not secure against offline and/or (undetectable) online dictionary attacks in the presence of a malicious client. The offline dictionary attack we present against Guo et al.'s protocol also applies to other similar protocols including Lee and Hwang's protocol. We conclude with some suggestions on how to design a three-party PAKE protocol that is resistant against dictionary attacks.

an analysis of stomach contents of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis and plankton samples collected during troll fishing operations showed that the abundance of some dominant organisms in tuna stomachs was related to their abundance in the plankton. Fish larvae mainly pilchards, Nyctiphanes australis, brachyuran and other decapod larvae and calanoid copepods are important food item for skipjack. The copepods Undinula vulgaris and Nannocalanus minor occurred consistently throughout the survey period in both stomach contents and plankton samples. U. vulgaris appeared to be a preferred food considering its high percentage composition in tuna stomachs compared with its low percentage composition in the plankton. Temora turbinata and N. minor may also serve as important food items for skipjack. The largest catches of the fish were made in January and February when plankton organisms were composed dominantly of N. australis, copepods and brachyuran larvae. The main stomach contents during this period were N. australis and brachyuran larvae.

A simple, fast yet sensitive method is described for the determination of fifty elements in coal by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The method involves complete dissolution of coal with mixed acid $(HNO_3, HF, HClO_4)$ in hish pressure Teflon bomb and subsequent inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric(ICP-MS) measurement. The accuracy of the method, being evaluated by the analysis of NIST SRMs (1632a, 1632b) is better than 20% RSD for most elements. The limits of detection defined by two times $\sigma$ (standard deviation of operational blank) are in order of sub-ppm to ppm, which are low enough to quantitate most elements. However, the determiantions for few elements such as V, As, Se are severely interfered by molecular ions such that their accurate determiantions are not possible. Analytical results for twentyon coals from eight countries including six ones world major coal producing, Korea, Japan, China, I.C.S., U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and South Africa are presented. While the results for major elements agree well with the existing ones, those for a few trace elements disagree considerably. The existing values are considerably higher. It is not possible to judge which are more accurate. However, the exisisting values are more likely to be errorous inasmuch as they are obtained without using high purity reagents and clean laboratory techniques.

Purpose: The window energy rating system was developed in early 1990's and various kind of rating system has been implemented in advanced country such as Europe, Australia, Canada and the US since 2000. In Korea, the Energy Consumption Efficiency Rating Indication System has been implemented to promote supply of high efficiency window since July 2012. Normally, the window energy rating system based on heat balance which considers both thermal losses and solar heat gain is used and applied only to residential buildings. However, the system used nationally only considers thermal losses and is applied to every building regardless of its usage. Therefore, in this study, we indicated problems of domestic window energy rating system and looked for improvements. Method: We analyzed thermal performance of various windows through dynamic simulation applied to detached house and compared results with those of domestic and foreign rating system. Result : Thermal performance of south windows is more affected by SHGC than U-value, and that of north windows is also affected by SHGC a lot. The difference between the results of our study and current system is statistically significant. As a result, appropriate evaluation criteria which considers solar heat gain is required.

To improve the recovery rate of unlocated buried human remains in forensic investigations, there is scope to evaluate and develop techniques that are applicable to the Australian environment. I established controlled gravesites (comprising shallow buried kangaroos, pigs, and human cadavers) in South Australia, to allow the methodical testing of remote sensing equipment for the purpose of grave detection in forensic investigations. Eight-month-old pig graves are shown to provide more distinct identifying results using ground-penetrating radar when compared to four-year-old kangaroo graves. Two further aspects of this research are presented: information (obtained from a survey) relating to the police use of geophysical instruments for locating buried human remains, and the use of electrical resistivity for locating human remains buried in a coffin. The survey of Australian police jurisdictions, covering the period 1995-2000, showed that police searches for unlocated bodies have not successfully located human remains using any geophysical instruments (such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometers, or electrical resistivity). Lower resistivity readings were found coincident with the 150-year-old single historical burial in a heavily excavated field, in a situation where its exact location was previously unknown.

The transmission of harmonic vibratory power form a vibrating rigid body into a supporting plate through passive and active isolators is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical model allows for the transmission of vertical and horizontal harmonic forces and moments about all three coordinate sun. The experiment is to use vibration actuators attached to the intermediate mass of the two-stage mount to minimize the rotational and translational vibration of the intermediate mass. The performance is done by measuring the vibration at the error sensors due to the primary vibration source and measuring the transfer functions from the control sources to the error sensors. Results show that over a frequence range from 1 to 100Hz, transmission into the supporting plate can be reduced substantially by employing in parallel with existing passive isolators, active isolators adjusted to provide appropriate control force amplitudes.

The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is developing three 1.6m optical telescopes with $18k{\times}18k$ mosaic CCD cameras. These telescopes will be installed and operated at Chile, South Africa, and Australia for Korea Micro-lensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) project. The main scientific goal of the project is to discover earth-like extra-solar planets using the gravitational micro-lensing technique. To achieve the goal, each telescope at three sites will continuously monitor the specific region of Galactic bulge with 2.5 minute cadence for five years. Assuming 12 hour observation in maximum for a night, the amount of 200 GB file storage is required for one night observation at one observatory. If we consider the whole project period and the data processing procedure, a few PB class data storage, high-speed network, and high performance computers are essential. In this presentation, we introduce the KMTNet data management plan that handles gigantic data; raw image collecting, image processing, photometry pipeline, database archiving, and backup.
