Stochasitc gravitational wave background (SGWB) is expected to be contributed by primordial sources (e.g. inflation signature) and astrophysical sources (e.g., incoherent superposition of a large numbers of compact binary inspirals throughout in the Universe). Theoretically, SGWB is predicted to span in a broad frequency range between less than nHz up to kHz. Many gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such as LIGO or LISA aim to detect or constrain SGWB in different frequency band that is most sensitive for each detector. In this talk, we focus on the prospectives of constraining the energy density of SGWB between 0.1-10 Hz. We introduce the characteristics of SGWB and representative models for primordial and astrophysical sources. Then, we propose a signal extraction scheme to detect SGWB using one or several omni-directional GW detectors such as SLGT(Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope). Considering SLGT sensitivity, we discuss how to observe SGWB in 0.1-10 Hz if we have SLGT network. Finally, we highlight interesting SGWB models that can be constrained in 0.1-10 Hz with SLGT.

In this paper, a novel unequal broadband out-of-phase power divider (PD) is presented. Double-sided parallel-strip lines (DSPSLs) are employed to achieve an out-of-phase response. Also, an asymmetric dual-band matching structure with two external isolation resistors is utilized to obtain arbitrary unequal power division, in which the resistors are directly grounded for heat sinking. A through ground via (TGV), connecting the top and bottom sides of the DSPSLs, is used to short the isolation components. Additionally, this property can efficiently improve the broadband matching and isolation bandwidths. To investigate the proposed divider in detail, a set of design equations are derived based on the circuit theory and transmission line theory. The theoretical analysis shows that broadband responses can be obtained as proper frequency ratios are adopted. To verify the proposed concept, a sample divider with a power division of 2:1 is demonstrated. The measured results exhibit a broad bandwidth from 1.19 GHz to 2.19 GHz (59.2%) with a return loss better than 10 dB and port isolation of 18 dB.

We have measured the excited state absorption in $Ce:YAlO_{3}$, crystals for the first time and assigned it for a 5d$\rightarrow$conduction band transition. Two broad absorption bands were observed at 555 nm and 465 nm fowllowing the 308 nm XeCl laser excitation and their cross sections and oscillator strengths were calculated. We have also measured the fluorescence lifetimes in between 300 K and 700 K to study the nonradiative relaxation from the lowest 5d state of $Ce^{3+}$ ions and explained ESA and the transition process from the state in terms of a configurational coordinate.dinate.

Human mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH2) is mainly responsible for the oxidation of acetaldehyde generated during alcohol oxidation in vivo. To investigate the role of ALDH2 in alcohol metabolism, it was needed to get solubilized enzyme. The cDNA of ALDH2 is isolated from cDNA library and ligated to several expression vectors for E. coli. At almost expression system to be constructed, the broad expression band of ALDH2 was detected. But, the large part of the expressed protein consisted as inclusion body, the yield of solubilized enzyme was not more tan 5% of the total expressed amount. Recombinant ALDH2 was verified from the several expression systems.

Based on three scorpionfish specimens (131.8~163.4 mm SL) collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Scorpaenopsis neglecta as the first record from Korea. They were characterized by having 12 dorsal fin spines, lacking of palatal teeth and of black pigment between the first and third dorsal fin spines, wider interorbital region than orbital diameter, no median interorbital ridge, uppermost opercular spine with multicusps, and a broad blackish band distally and numerous various sized black spots on inner side of pectoral fin. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ssol-chi-u-reug" for the species.

It is necessary to apply SSB modulation method with high bandwidth efficiency to the DS-CDMA mobile communication systems in order to accommodate the increasing number of voice users as well as the broad band and high data rate service in the future. Even though the bandwidth efficiency increases if SSB modulation is applied to BPSK-DS/CDMA, its performance gets degraded because of the increased multiple access interference. Therefore for eliminating the increased multiple access interference, the SSB/BPSK-DS/CDMA with successive interference canceller(SIC) is proposed and its performance and capacity are analyzed. With the limited system bandwidth, it is shown that the SSB/BPSK-DS/CDMA with SIC can accommodate more capacity than the conventional BPSK-DS/CDMA with SIC.

Strain-gauges have been dominantly used to measure strain at various points on a rotor, however, either a slip ring or telemetry has to be used to send sensor signals to data acquisition instruments at stationary side. Both slip ring and telemetry have numerous inherent problems which force severe limitations in real applications. This paper introduces a new rotor condition monitoring system using FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and a rotary optical coupler. A single optical fiber with many FBG sensors is installed on the rotor and an optical dynamic interrogator is installed at stationary side. The sensor signal connection between rotating part and stationary part is made by the rotary optical coupling method which makes use of light's unique characteristic-light travels through space. Broad band light source from the interrogator travels to the optical fiber on the rotor and reflected FBG sensor signals travel back to the optical fiber on stationary side and are connected to the interrogator. Rotary optical coupler's insertion loss change due to rotation is compensated by using a reference sensor installed at the center of the rotor. The proposed system's performance has been successfully demonstrated by accurately measuring strains at 5 points on a blade rotating at high speed.

Target signal feature parameters are very important to classify target by active sonar. Two highly correlated broad band pulses separated by time T have a time separation pitch(TSP) of 1/T Hz which is equal to the trough-to-trough or peak-to-peak spacing of its spectrum. In this study, TSP informations which represent feature of each target signal were effectively extracted by the FFT. The extracted TSP feature parameters were also applied to the pattern recognition algorithm to classify target and to analyze their properties.

As electronic industry and radio communication technologies progress, mankind enjoys its abundant life. On the other hand, it becomes possible that the electrical and electronic equipments are on light weight, small size, high speed, broad bandwidth, and operation by small energy. At the same time, many social problems like EMI/EMS by electromagnetic waves occur. Therefore, tile organizations such as CISPR, FCC, ANCI, etc., have provided the standards of electromagnetic wave environments for the countermeasure of the EMC. In this paper, we designed and studied a new EMI filter for multi-tap in the frequency band from 150 kHz to 30 MHz.

Five types of agricultural wastes were used for the production of xylanolytic enzyme by Aspergillus flavus K-03. All wastes materials supported high levels of xylanase and ${\beta}-xylosidase$ production. A high level of proteolytic activity was observed in barley and rice bran cultures, while only a weak proteolytic activity was detected in corn cob, barley and rice straw cultures. Maximum production of xylanase was achieved in basal liquid medium containing rice barn as carbon source for 5 days of culture at pH 6.5 and $25^{\circ}C$. The xylanolytic enzyme of A. flavus K-03 showed low thermostability. The times required for 50% reduction of the initial enzyme activity were 90 min at $40^{\circ}C$, 13 min at $50^{\circ}C$, and 3 min at $60^{\circ}C$. Xylanolytic activity showed the highest level at pH $5.5{\sim}10.5$ and more than 70% of the original activity was retained at pH 6.5 and 7.0. The higher stability of xylanolytic enzymes in the broad range of alkaline pH is useful for utilization of the enzymes in industrial process requiring in alkaline conditions. Moreover, the highest production of xylanolytic enzyme was obtained when 0.5% of rice bran was supplied in basal liquid medium. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed a single xylanase band of approximately 28.5 kDa from the culture filtrates.
