This paper investigates the characteristics of high $PM_{2.5}$ episodes occurred at Anmyeondo area in spring time, 2009. The monthly mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentration during April was the highest in the year and especially, high levels of $PM_{2.5}$ exceeding standard regulation level were sustained consecutively during 5 to 13 April. To analyze more detailed $PM_{2.5}$ characteristics, numerical simulations were carried out using CMAQ(Community Multi-scale Air Quality) with IPR(Integrated Process Rate) and DDM-3D(Decoupled Direct Method). $PM_{2.5}$ level was lower in daytime than that in nighttime due to vigorous vertical mixing during daytime. The chemical composition was showed that ratio of primary ion components such as sulfate($SO_4{^{2-}}$), nitrate($NO_3{^-}$) and ammonium($NH_4{^+}$) were nearly half of total amount of $PM_{2.5}$. Aerosol and transport process dominantly contributed to $PM_{2.5}$ concentration in Anmyeondo area and contribution rate of local emissions was nearly zero since Anmyeondo area has rare anthropogenic PM emission sources. DDM-3D analysis result showed that $PM_{2.5}$ in Anmyeondo area was influenced by emissions from Shanghai and Shandong region of China.

Resulties of research on the capacity of ground water of 994 concrete-pipe-wells and 97 infiltration-gallerys in ground-water-developement-works region executed from March to Julyin 1969, in Choong Chung Nam Do, and research on the quality of ground water for 88 wells for home-use around of River Geum Area, are as fellows: (1) Thickness of aquifer is no more than 2.85m averagely even at river-overflowed plain, alluvial plain and valley plain area that are estimated to contain ground water mostly. And so, it is guessed that ground water capacity is not much especially. (2) Soil of aquifer of the above area is sand or gravel and it is estimated to be good for ground water developement and its mean permeability coefficient is bout $2.5{\times}10^{-3}$(m/sec), and its porosity is about 33.9%. (3) The quality of ground water is good for irrigation water exception of delta plain area. Warm water plan is to need for irrigation water when water temperature is less than 19 degrees below zero. (4) Prospect of ground water developement, judging from quality and quantity, expects to lay infiltration gallery under the ground at river bed in order to utilize under-flow-water of river bed, river-overflowed plain, alluvial plain and valley plain that ground level is less than 50m. (5) Collectable water volume of under-flow-water of river bed is about 450 to $750m^3/day$ to be able to irrigate 3ha to 5ha of the cultivated land in case that infiltration gallery length is 50m and its depth is about 5m. (6) Collectable water volume at river-overflowed plain, alluvial plain and valley plain area, is estimated $150m^3/day$ to be able to irrigated 1ha of the cultivated land.

In this paper, we proposed variable threshold dual rate ADPCM coding method which adapts two coding rates of the standard ADPCM of ITU G.726 for speech quality improvement at a comparably low coding rates. The ZCR(Zero Crossing Rate) is computed for speecd data and under the noisy environment, noise data dominant region showed higher ZCR and speech data dominant region showed lower ZCR. The speech data with the higher ZCR is encoded by low coding rate for reduced coded data and the speech data with the lower ZCR is encoded by high coding rate for speech quality improvements. For coded data, 2 bits are assigned for low coding rate of 16[Kbps] and 5 bits are is assigned for high coding rate of 40[Kbps]. Through the simulation, the proposed idea is evaluated and shown that the variable dual rate ADPCM coding technique shows the qood speech quality at low coding rate.

In this paper, we have constructed phoneme discriminant filters [PDF] according to the linear discriminant function. These discriminant filters do not follow the heuristic rules by the experts but the mathematical methods in iterative learning. Proposed system. is based on the piecewise linear classifier and error correction learning method. The segmentation of speech and the classification of phoneme are carried out simutaneously by the PDF. Because each of them operates independently, some speech intervals may have multiple outputs. Therefore, we introduce the unified coefficients by the output unification process. But sometimes the output has a region which shows no response, or insensitive. So we propose time windows and median filters to remove such problems. We have trained this system with the 549 monosyllables uttered 3 times by 3 male speakers. After we detect the endpoint of speech signal using threshold value and zero crossing rate, the vowels and consonants are separated by the PDF, and then selected phoneme passes through the following PDF. Finally this system unifies the outputs for competitive region or insensitive area using time window and median filter.

Purpose: Among RF pulses, a sinc pulse is typically used for slice selection due to its frequency-selective feature. When a sinc pulse is implemented in practice, it needs to be apodized to avoid truncation artifacts at the expense of broadening the transition region of the excited-band profile. Here a sinc pulse tailored by a new apodization function is proposed that produces a sharper transition region with well suppression of truncation artifacts in comparison with conventional tailored sinc pulses. A multiband pulse designed using this newly apodized sinc pulse is also suggested inheriting the better performance of the newly apodized sinc pulse. Materials and Methods: A new apodization function is introduced to taper a sinc pulse, playing a role to slightly shift the first zero-crossing of a tailored sinc pulse from the peak of the main lobe and thereby producing a narrower bandwidth as well as a sharper pass-band in the excitation profile. The newly apodized sinc pulse was also utilized to design a multiband pulse which inherits the performance of its constituent. Performances of the proposed sinc pulse and the multiband pulse generated with it were demonstrated by Bloch simulation and phantom imaging. Results: In both simulations and experiments, the newly apodized sinc pulse yielded a narrower bandwidth and a sharper transition of the pass-band profile with a desirable degree of side-lobe suppression than the commonly used Hanning-windowed sinc pulse. The multiband pulse designed using the newly apodized sinc pulse also showed the better performance in multi-slice excitation than the one designed with the Hanning-windowed sinc pulse. Conclusion: The new tailored sinc pulse proposed here provides a better performance in slice (or slab) selection than conventional tailored sinc pulses. Thanks to the availability of analytical expression, it can also be utilized for multiband pulse design with great flexibility and readiness in implementation, transferring its better performance.

Wake-induced boundary-layer transition on a NACA0012 airfoil with zero angle of attack is experimentally investigated in periodically passing wakes under the moderate level of free-stream turbulence. The periodic wakes are generated by rotating circular cylinders clockwise or counterclockwise around the airfoil. The free-stream turbulence is produced by a grid upstream of the rotating cylinder, and its intensities $(Tu_{\infty})$ at the leading edge of the airfoil are 0.5 and 3.5%, respectively. The Reynolds number (Rec) based on chord length (C) of the airfoil is $2.0{\times}10^5$, and Strouhal number (Stc) of the passing wake is about 1.4. Time- and phase-averaged streamwise mean velocities and turbulence fluctuations are measured with a single hot-wire probe, and especially, the corresponding wall skin friction is evaluated using a computational Preston tube method. The patch under the high free-stream turbulence $(Tu_{\infty}=3.5%)$ grows more greatly in laminar-like regions compared with that under the low turbulence $(Tu_{\infty}=0.5%)$ in laminar regions. The former, however, does not greatly change the turbulence level in very near-wall region while the latter does it. At further downstream, the former interacts vigorously with high environmental turbulence inside the pre-existing transitional boundary layer and gradually loses its identification, whereas the latter keeps growing in the laminar boundary layer. The calmed region is more clearly observed under the lower free-stream turbulence level and with the receding wakes.

차세대 반도체 제조에서 Design rule 이 점점 더 shrink 됨에 따라 shallow junction 분석의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이러한 shallow junction에 대한 분석방법중의 하나인 SIMS 분석에 있어서 depth resolution을 향상시키는 것이 중요하며, 일차이온의 에너지를 낮추어 줌으로써 이러한 효과를 달성할 수 있다. 그러나 최근의 연구에 따르면 O2+를 이용한 low energy SIMS 분석 시에 non-zero incidence angle로 분석할 경우 surface roughness가 발생한다는 사실이 보고되었으며, surface roughness를 줄이고 분석 초기의 transient region을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 oxygen flooding을 사용하는 경우 특정 각도에서 surface roughness가 여전히 존재할 뿐 아니라 분석 초기영역에서의 sputter rate이 변화하는 문제가 있음이 보고된바 있다. 본 연구에서는 2keV O2+ 일차이온을 이용하여 oxygen flooding 하에서 기존 조건인 60도 incidence로 분석하는 방법의 문제점을 파악하고 incidence angle을 45도로 바꾸어 분석하는 방법을 검토하였다. 그 결과 기존의 분석조건에서는 분석도중 표면부근에서 sputter rate이 변화하고 surface roughness가 증가하는 것을 확인하였고, 그로 인하여 oxygen flooding을 하지 않은 경우와 많은 차이가 발생하는 것을 발견하였다. Incidence angle을 45도로 바꾼 결과 이러한 문제가 해결되는 것을 확인하였으며, 특히 GaAs $\delta$layer 분석을 통하여 이 분석조건이 기존의 분석조건에 비하여 획기적으로 향상되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 여러 가지 shallow junction 분석을 통하여 이 분석방법이 상당히 신뢰성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 여전히 oxygen flooding을 하지 않은 경우에 비하여 다소간의 차이가 있는 것이 발견되었는데, 이는 주로 표면에 잔존하는 산화막에 의한 효과와 oxygen flooding에서 보다 더 depth resolution이 좋음으로 인하여 발생하는 것으로 추정되었으며 그 밖에 다른 가능성도 제기되었다. 따라서 이 방법은 표면 산화막이 거의 없는 시료에 대하여 적용한다면 oxygen flooding을 하지 않은 경웨 비하여 transient region이 거의 없고 junction depth를 보다 신뢰성 있게 측정할 수 잇는 장점이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. As, P의 저 에너지이온 주입시료에 대해 이 분석방법을 적용할 경우 C+s 분석법에 비하여 depth resolution을 비교적 쉽게 향상시킬 수 있었고, oxygen follding을 쓰지 않은 경우에 비해서는 검출한도를 약 100배 정도 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 2.5keV Cs+ 분석법에 비하면 아직 depth resolution이 불충분하여 실제로 shallow As 분석에 적용하기에는 다소 문제점이 있었다.

In this report, we present the results of a study on the effects of the particle size on the properties of the Prussian blue (PB) analog $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$. A novel synthesis method of the $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$ nano-particles using an organic solvent, formamide, is employed. The size of the PB particles is found to be 100-150 nm for the samples prepared in the formamide solvent, which is much smaller than that of the samples prepared using water only. The broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks of the nano-sized PB samples is attributed to the lattice disorder and a dramatic reduction in the particle size. The compositions of the samples are confirmed by an energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and the result proves that the samples are actually $Na_xMn_y[Fe(CN){_6}]$ Prussian blue. The UV-vis spectra show a broad intervalence charge-transfer (CT) band in the visible region between 400 and 700 nm, and the absorption decreases abruptly in the green region for the nano-sized PB sample. A divergence between the field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves is observed for the nano-sized PB sample at 11 K, indicating that nanoparticles in the sample are single domain superparamagnets with a blocking temperature of 11 K. Our results reveal that the nano-sized PB samples show significantly different optical and magnetic properties than those of the bulk PB samples.

The actual magnetic induction waveform of cores in electrical machines is not sinusoidal i.e. higher harmonics are always included. Thus the core loss in actual electrical machines is different from the core loss which is measured by the standard method, because the waveform of magnetic induction should be sinusoidal in the standard testing method. Core loss analysis under higher harmonic induction is always important in electric machine design. In this works we measured the core loss when a hysteresis loop has only one period of an ac minor loop of higher harmonic frequency, depending on the position of the ac minor loop of relative to the fundamental harmonic frequency. From this experiment, the core loss P(B/sub 0/f/sub 0/, B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/)) under a higher harmonic magnetic induction B/sub h/ could be expressed by the linear combination the core loss at fundamental harmonic frequency P/sub c/(B/sub 0/, f/sub 0/), the core loss of ac minor loop at zero induction region of the major hysteresis loop P/sub cL/ (B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/), and the core loss of an ac minor loop in the high induction region of the major hysteresis loop P/sub cH/ (B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/) i.e., P/sub c/, (B/sub 0/, f/sub 0/, B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/)=P/sub c/ (B/sub 0/, f/sub 0/,)+(n-1)[k₁(B/sub 0/) P/sub cL/ (B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/)+(1-k₁(B/sub 0/)) P/sub cH/ (B/sub h/, nf/sub 0/)]. This will be useful formula for electrical machine designers and one of effective methods to predict core loss including higher harmonic induction.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments is essential not only for the safety of the user but also for improving the immersion of the user. If the coefficient of a virtual spring is increased, the system becomes unstable. Therefore, the coefficient of the virtual spring is limited. The haptic system with the high-frequency zero-order-hold (HF-ZOH) is proposed to enhance the stability margin of a virtual spring. In this paper, the relationship among the sampling period of HF-ZOH, the coefficient of the physical damper, and the maximum stable margin of the virtual spring is analyzed. The lager the coefficient of the physical damper is, the shorter the sampling period of the HF-ZOH is, the larger the stable region of the virtual spring becomes. If the ratio N is larger than 40, the stable region of the proposed method is about three times to eight times that of the previous method, according to the coefficient of the physical damper. Hence the method enables to improve the user's realism in virtual environments.
