일반적인 라만 분광 시스템은 회절 한계로 인해 공간 분해능이 떨어지며, 시료의 양이 적을 경우에 굉장히 미약하게 발생하는 라만 신호의 검출 감도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS)를 구축하였다. 구축한 TERS 시스템은 뾰족한 금속 탐침을 시료 위에 근접시켜 금속 탐침 내에 존재하는 전자와 여기 광 간의 플라즈몬 공명 현상에 의한 광 안테나 효과를 유도하여 라만 분광 시스템의 공간 분해능을 수십 나노미터 정도로 향상시켰으며, 기존의 라만 분광 시스템에서는 검출되지 않는 미약한 라만 신호를 검출할 수 있었다. 구축한 TERS 시스템을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브를 비롯한 다양한 반도체 시료의 라만 스펙트럼 및 라만이미지를 측정하였고, 금속 탐침이 시료위에 근접되지 않은 경우의 측정 결과와 라만 신호의 세기 및 라만 이미지의 공간 분해능을 비교하여 제안하는 TERS 시스템의 효용성을 검증하였다.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Thai Elderly Resilience Scale (TERS). Its conceptual structure consists of three identified domains, I AM, I HAVE, and I CAN, within the 18 components that were initially used for developing the item pool. The first draft of the scale consisted of 50 items. A psychometric evaluation of content validity reliability and construct validity was conducted. The results yielded the current version of the TERS based on Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) consisting of 24 items categorized into 5 factors: 1) being able to join other people, 2) being confident in life 3) have social support 4) living with spiritual security and 5) being able to de-stress and manage problems. The scale had a high internal consistency (${\alpha}=.94$). A strong positive correlation between resilience and mental health scores were found (r=.84, p<.01, n=30). The newly developed TERS would be a useful tool to assess resilience in Thai elderly and can be applied to develop further studies regarding elderly Thai people.

We carried out the tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) with a tip that is functionalized with a Aunanoparticle (AuNP, with a diameter of 250 nm). The AuNP tip is fabricated by a direct mechanical pickup of a AuNP from a flat substrate, and the TERS signal from the AuNP tip - organic monolayer - Au thin film (thickness of 10 nm) is recorded. We find that such a AuNP-tip interacting with a thin film routinely yields signal enhancement larger than ${\sim}10^4$, which is sufficient not only for local (with detection area of ~200 $nm^2$) Raman spectroscopy, but also the nanometric imaging of organic monolayers within a reasonable acquisition time (~20 minutes/image).

As an era of nano science approaches, the understanding on the shape and optical properties of various materials in a nanoscale range is getting important more seriously than ever. Accordingly the development of high spatial-temporal-spectral resolution measurement tools for characterization of nanomaterials/structures is highly required. Generally, the various properties of sample can be measured independently, e.g. to observe the structural property of sample, we use the scanning electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, and to observe optical property, we have to use another independent measurement tool such as photoluminescence spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy. In the case of nano-materials, however, it is very difficult to find out the same position of sample at every different measurement processes, and the condition of sample can be changed by the influence of first measurement. The tip enhanced Raman scattering(TERS), which can simultaneously measure the two or more information of sample with nanoscale spatial resolution, is one of solutions of this problem. In this talk, I will present our recent nano Raman scattering data of graphene that measured by TERS and optimized tip fabrication method for efficient experiment.

This paper suggests a new coding method for the parallel machine which compresses the data be reducing redundancy. Paral-lel Dynamic octal Compact Mapping (PDOCM) compresses at least 1 byte per word compared with other coding techniques and achieves a 54. 188-fold speedup with 64 processors to transmit 10 million charac-ters.

In this paper, we derive finite-dimensional non-linear fil-ters for optimally reconstructing speech signals in Switched Predic-tion vocoders, Code Excited Linear Prediction(CELP) and Differ-ential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM). Our filter is an extension of the Hidden Markov filter.

Electroless plating of nickel was studied electrochemically in the presence of complexing agents. Nickel sulfate solution with dimethylamine borance(DMAB) as the reducing agent was used. Effects of temperature pH, concentration and complexing agents-citric acid, EDTA, tartaric acid-were studied.Experimental meas-urements showed that the rate of electroless nickel deposition was closely related to electrochemical parame-ters such as temdperature, pH, concentration and the properties of complexing agets.

Estimating parameters of the lifetime distribution is investigated when field failure data are not completelyreported. To take into account the reality and the accuracy of the estimates in such a case, the failure reportingprobability is incorporated in estimating parameters, Firstly, method of maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) isused to estimate parameters of the lifetime distribution when failure reporting probability is known, Secondly,Expectation and Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to estimate the failure reporting probability and parame-ters of the lifetime distribution simultaneously when failure reporting probability is unknown. For both cases,procedures of estimation are illustrated for single Weibull distribution and mixed Weibull distribution. Simula-tion results show that MLE obtained by the proposed method is more accurate than the conventional MLE.

In this study a new analytical model which can describe the relationship between the bridging stress and microstructure has beenproposed in order to investigate the microstructural effect on the R-curve behavior in polycrystalline aluminas since the R-curve can be derived via the bridging stress function. In the currently developed model function the distribution of grain size is considered as a microstructural factor in modeling of bridging stress function and thus the bridging stress function including three constants PM, n, and Cx, can be established analytically and quantitatively. The results indicate that the n value is closely related to the grain size distribution thereby providing a reliability of the current model for the bridging stress analysis. Thus this model which explains the correlation of the bridging stress distribution and microstructual parame-ters is useful for the systematic interpretation of microfracture mechanism including the R-curve behavior in polycrystalline aluminas.

The fully developed turbulent momentum and heat transfer induced by the roughness elements on the outer wall surfaces in concentric annuli are analytically studied on the basis of a modified turbu-lence model. The resulting momentum and heat transfer are discussed in terms of various parame-ters such as the radius ratio the roughness density Reynolds number and Prandtl number accord-ing to the heating condition. The study shows that certain artificial roughness elements may be used to enhance heat transfer rates with advantage from the overall efficiency point of view.
