By the voltage threshold (Vt) close-curve measurement method, the changes in the discharge characteristics such as a firing voltage and IR emission among the three electrodes were examined relative to the low or high panel temperature ranging from -10 to $80^{\circ}$. The variation in the panel temperature was found significantly influence the surface discharge between the MgO surfaces rather than the plate gap discharge between the MgO and phosphor layers. Based on this experimental observation, a modified reset waveform that alleviates the surface discharge during a ramp-up and -down period was deeloped. By adopting the proposed reset waveform, a stable address discharge could be obtained irrespective of the panel temperature variation.

This paper introduces a maintenance support tool for C++ programs. The tool was extended by adding a documentation supporting tool(DT) and an OOD/OOP style guidelines supporting tool(OOD\ulcornerP-GT) to previous work results, the complexity measurement tool(CT) and the visualization tool(VT). The tool was named C++ MT. For the extention, we studied a documentation method of object oriented programs, analyzed and grouped the OOD/OOP style guidelines suggested in some works. The DT developed in this paper helps programmer understand, cange, and est programs, and also extract the reuse components. OOD/P-GT provides guielines for programmer to improve program quality.

This paper analyzes a broadcasting technique for wireless multi-hop sensor networks that uses a form of cooperative diversity called opportunistic large arrays (OLAs). We propose a method for autonomous scheduling of the nodes, which limits the nodes that relay and saves as much as 32% of the transmit energy compared to other broadcast approaches, without requiring global positioning system (GPS), individual node addressing, or inter-node interaction. This energy-saving is a result of cross-layer interaction, in the sense that the medium access control (MAC) and routing functions are partially executed in the physical (PHY) layer. Our proposed method is called OLA with a transmission threshold (OLA-T), where a node compares its received power to a threshold to decide if it should forward. We also investigate OLA with variable threshold (OLA-VT), which optimizes the thresholds as a function of level. OLA-T and OLA-VT are compared with OLA broadcasting without a transmission threshold, each in their minimum energy configuration, using an analytical method under the orthogonal and continuum assumptions. The trade-off between the number of OLA levels (or hops) required to achieve successful network broadcast and transmission energy saved is investigated. The results based on the analytical assumptions are confirmed with Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper proposes a new high-speed level shifter using a special high voltage device with low threshold voltage. Also, novel low voltage swing method is proposed. The high voltage device is a standard LDMOS(Laterally Diffused MOS) device in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process without adding extra mask or process step to realize it. A level shifter uses 5V LDMOSs as voltage clamps to protect 1.8V NMOS switches from high voltage stress the gate oxide. Also, level-up transition from 1.8V to 5V takes only 1.5ns in time. These circuits do not consume static DC power, therefore they are very suitable for low-power and high-speed interfaces in the deep sub-quarter-micron CMOS technologies.

We have developed a new gate driver circuit for liquid crystal displays using oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs). In the new gate driver, negative gate bias is applied to turn off the oxide TFTs because the oxide TFT occasionally has negative threshold voltage (VT). In addition, we employed three parallel pull-down TFTs that are turned on in turns to enhance the stability. SPICE simulation showed that the proposed circuit worked successfully covering the VT range of -3 V ~ +6 V And fabrication results confirmed stable operation of the new circuit using oxide TFTs.

This study was conducted to investigate characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia (E.) coli isolates isolated from vaginal mucosa and clitorial fossa of 105 Thoroughbred mares suspicious of the genital disease in Korea during the period from March 2006 to July 2007. Ninety six E. coli isolates were identified as standard biochemical properties and using BIOLOG system. Fifty three isolates (55.2%) could be classified into a total of 21 O serotypes and forty three isolates (44.8%) were non-typeable with 51 O antisera used in this study. The verotoxin 1 (VT 1) and verotoxin 2 genes were analyzed by multiplex PCR. Among them, one isolate was detected VT 1 gene (130 bp). Most of isolates showed a high susceptibility in ciprofloxacin (100%), enrofloxacin (100%), norfloxacin (100%), cefoxitin (96.9%), gentamicin (96.9%), sulphamethoxazole (96.9%), nitrofurantoin (94.8%), amikacin (93.8%), nalidixic acid (92.7%) and tetracycline (90.6%). These results may provide the basic information to establish strategies for the treatment and prevention of reproductive disease in Thoroughbred mares in Korea.

In this paper several access schemes for voice and data packet over CPCH with waiting time signalling are proposed. Waiting time signalling is used for reducing the excessive attempt of UE when all the CPCH channel resources is being used by other UEs. The proposed schemes in this paper are better than other schemes in view of the voice/data packets? dropping probability, average access attempt to transmit voice/data packets successfully and the average throughput.

Seventy-six animals including cattle, sheep, horses, 6 species of zoo animals were employed for collection of fresh feces in order to detect verotoxigenic Esherichia coli (VTEC) by safe, quick and sensitive PCR-based molecular methods. Bacterial cell disruption with bead-beating followed by bacterial DNA purification with hydroxyapatide chromatography and gel filtration allowed DNA preparation from animal feces with high recovery and purity. A mountain goat was firstly shown by PCR and sequencing to shed verotoxin 2 gene (vt2) that was used to generate vt2 probe and second primer set for nested PCR to attempt more sensitive detection. Most sensitive nested PCR revealed that 45% of tested cattle and 47% of tested zoo animals were VTEC-positive, while least sensitive normal PCR detected VTEC from none of these animals except a mountain goat. Moderately sensitive detection by PCR in combination with hybridization suggested that the VTEC density varied between the VTEC-positive cattle.

In this paper, high Xe(Ne+Xe 10%, 20%, 30%) AC-PDP's discharge characteristics according to aging time were studied. The static margin, Vt close curve, discharge time lag was measured for experiments. According to increase of Xe partial pressure, the static margin and luminance was increased. As the result of analysis for misfiring probability, the misfiring is frequently occurred in accordance with increasing of aging time. To improve misfiring, we proposed 3Reset waveform and achieved misfiring probability which was improved.

Each season, many clothing companies dump small pieces of fabrics left over from making samples. Since fabrics do not decompose easily, this results in environmental pollution. This research was done to discover effective ways to reuse these fabric remnants. As most of these remnants were not large enough for making clothes, fashion accessories was chosen as the design object. Four steps of design development process followed: information research & analysis, prototype design & sample making, market testing, final design decision. After market research and trend analysis, four neck decoration wear -- scarf & muffler(SM). collar & cape(CC), vest & top(VT), and necklace(NE) -- were selected as final product types. 45 designs arose, and 120 items with variations in fabric materials and colors were produced as samples. The three main themes (multiple. reversible, cross) were applied throughout all of the design items. Samples were evaluated from the reactions of the consumers through a 10-day sale at a retail store. Based on the sales record and customers' opinions, five designs from each of the product types SM, CC, and VT were picked out as final designs. In conclusion, fashion accessories turned out to be a more appropriate item to reuse fabric remnants from clothing companies than clothes were, because they necessitate small fabric size and the limitation in fabrics could be compensated with creative design ideas.
