One-dimensional $TiO_2$ array grown on optically transparent electrode holds a promise as a photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical water splitting; however, its crystal structure is rutile, imposing constraints on the potent use of this nanostructure. To address this issue, a heterojunction with type-II band alignment was fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. One-dimensional core/shell structured $TiO_2$/ZnO heterojunction was superior to $TiO_2$ in the photoelectrochemical water splitting because of better charge separation and more favorable Fermi level. The heterojunction also possesses better light scattering property, which turned out to be beneficial even for improving the photoelectrochemical performance of semiconductor-sensitized solar cell.

A series of amphiphilic dendrons n-18 (n: generation number, 18: octadecyl chain) based on an aliphatic polyether denderitic core and octadecyl peripheries were synthesized using a convergent dendron synthesis consisting of a Williamson etherification and hydroboration/oxidation reactions. This study investigated their thermal and self-assembling behavior in the solid state using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). DSC indicated that the melting transition and the corresponding heat of the fusion of the octadecyl chain decreased with each generation. FT-IR showed that the hydroxyl focal groups were hydrogen-bonded with one another in the solid state. DSC and FT-IR indicated microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic cores and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries. SAXS data analysis in the solid state suggested that the lower-generation dendrons 1-18 and 2-18 self-assemble into lamellar structures based upon a bilayered packing of octadecyl peripheries. In contrast, the analyzed data of higher-generation dendron 3-18 is consistent with 2-D oblique columnar structures, which presumably consist of elliptical cross sections. The data obtained could be rationalized by microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic core and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries, and the degree of interfacial curvature associated with dendron generation.

As insurers have undergone changing customer expectations, increased cross-industry competition and restructured distribution channels, they need to enhance customer relationships, cut costs, increase agility and streamline operations while differentiating the core competency. As such, the importance of e-business transformation has increased where organizational core processes are restructured around customers and interned-based technology is adopted for flexible and adaptive information systems. This paper presents a case study of process innovation for e-business transformation in a Korea-based leading property & casualty insurance company. The company initiated three years-long e-business transformation program to remain competitive and to keep sustainable growth under risky and down economy. The program, which covered enterprise-wide business processes such as product, marketing & sales, customer, claim, investment & loan, accountings, etc., included redesigning processes from customers' viewpoint and then implementing process-aligned information systems. Leadership, sponsorship, change management, performance measurement, business and IT alignment, empowerment, and customized methodology, were emphasized throughout the program. As a result, the company could expect not only improvements in customer-centricity, sales productivity, and operational excellence but also increased revenues and profits in the next three years. The presented case addresses a feasible approach for enterprise-wide e-business transformation. Although the strategies, actions, and business and IT models are not described in detail due to confidentiality, the methodology and the success factors would be applicable to other insurers and possibly organizations in different industries.

FPGA는 대용량의 게이트를 지원하는 하드웨어를 프로그램 할 수 있는 디바이스이다. ASIC을 위해 설계된 로직은 칩으로 제조되기 전에 검증 과정을 거친다. 이 검증 과정에서 시뮬레이션의 한계를 극복하기 위해 FPGA를 사용한 에뮬레이션 방법을 많이 채택한다. 에뮬레이션 과정에서 ASIC의 동작 속도로 검증하는 것이 바람직하지만 FPGA의 특성상 ASIC과 같은 속도로 동작하기는 쉽지 않은 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 HDL 코딩 방법에 따른 FPGA의 성능 민감도를 실험하였다. 실험 및 평가를 위해 다양한 알고리즘을 가진 가산기를 이용하였고 각 가산기 종류와 비트수에 따라 Verilog-HDL을 이용하여 코딩하였으며 대표적인 FPGA 제조사(Altera와 Xilinx)별, 디바이스별로 동작 속도와 자원 사용량을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 FPGA 제조사별로 다른 경향을 보임을 확인하였다. 성능 면에서는 비트별로 다소 차이는 있지만 Altera 디바이스에서는 Ripple Carry, Carry Lookahead 가산기보다 Prefix 가산기의 성능이 우수하게 나왔다. Xilinx 디바이스에서는 예상과 달리 가산기들 사이의 성능 차이가 크게 나지 않았으며 Ripple Carry, Carry Lookahead 가산기가 Prefix 가산기보다 높은 성능을 보이는 경우도 있었다. 비용 면에서는 디바이스별로 큰 차이가 나지 않았으며 ASIC과 비슷한 성능 민감도를 보였다. 그리고 각 제조사에서 제공하는 IP(Intellectual Property) Core를 사용했을 경우는 대부분의 디바이스에서 우수한 성능을 보여 주었다. TSMC 90nm 공정 기술로 제작한 ASIC과 IP Core를 비교했을 때는 ASIC의 성능이 4배 정도 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper investigated the applicable possibility of PTT and wool staple fibers to the air vortex system as high quality yarns for a high emotional and comfort garment. It was found that the tactile hand of vortex yarn knitted fabrics was harsher than ring and compact yarns knitted fabrics. It was observed that formability and sewability of air vortex yarn knitted fabrics seemed worse than ring and compact yarns due to low tensile and compressional resilience and high bending and shear hysteresis of air vortex yarn knitted fabrics. It revealed that wicking and drying rates of air vortex yarn knitted fabric were better than ring and compact yarns; in addition, the heat keepability of vortex yarn knitted fabric was higher than ring and compact yarns due to low thermal conductivity and max heat flow rate ($Q_{max}$). Any difference of thermal shrinkage between air vortex and ring yarn knitted fabrics was not shown, but pilling characteristic of air vortex yarn knitted fabric was superior. However, it was shown that wicking, drying, thermal property and pilling characteristics of air vortex yarn knitted fabric were superior due to air vortex yarn structure with parallel fibers in the core part and periodical and fasciated twists in the sheath part of the yarns.

The electrical property and microstructure in $BaTiO_3$ ceramics doped rare-earth ions with intermediate ionic size ($Dy^{3+},Ho^{3+},Y^{3+}$) were investigated. Microstructures have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Incorporation of rare-earth ions to $BaTiO_3$ ceramics depended on their ionic radius sensitively. Compared to Ho and Y ions, Dy ions provide $BaTiO_3$ ceramics with the high rate of densification and well-developed shell formation, due to their high solubility in the $BaTiO_3$ lattice, but the microstructure of Dy doped $BaTiO_3$ ceramics is unstable at high temperature, because Dy ions could not play a role of grain growth inhibition, leading to diffuse into $BaTiO_3$ lattice continuously after completion of densification during sintering. Comparing electrical property and microstructure, it is shown that the reliability of capacitor improved by high shell ratio.

The effects of fast neutron irradiation on the electrical and optical properties of Li (3 at%) doped ZnSnO (ZTO) thin films fabricated using a sol-gel process are investigated. From the results of Li-ZTO TFT characteristics according to change of neutron irradiation time, the saturation mobility is found to increase and threshold voltage values shift to a negative direction from 1,000 s neutron irradiation time. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level shows that the relative area of oxygen vacancies is almost unchanged with different irradiation times. From the results of band alignment, it is confirmed that, due to the increase of electron carrier concentration, the Fermi level (E_F) of the sample irradiated for 1,000 s is located at the position closest to the conduction band minimum. The increase in electron concentration is considered by looking at the shallow band edge state under the conduction band edge formed by fast neutron irradiation of more than 1,000 s.

Cruciform conjugated molecule, 4(DP3T)-benzene bearing terthiophene moieties has been synthesized through Horner-Emmons Reaction using 5-dodecyl-5"-aldehyde-[2,2';5',2"] terthiophene as dendrons and octaethyl benzene- 1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene)tetraphosphonate as the core unit; this molecule has been fully characterized. The terthiophene-based molecule exhibits good solubility in common organic solvents and good self-film forming property. They are intrinsically crystalline as they exhibit well-defined X-ray diffraction patterns from uniform orientations of molecules. Thus, intermolecular interaction can be enhanced to affect the carrier transport phenomena after annealing at $148^{\circ}C$. The semiconducting property of 4(DP3T)-benzene have been evaluated in organic field-effect transistors. 4(DP3T)-benzene exhibit carrier mobility as high as $(6.6{\pm}0.5)$ ${\times}$ $10^{-6}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$.
