In this paper, the stress induced leakage currents of thin silicon oxides is investigated in the ULSI implementation with nano structure transistors. The stress and transient currents associated with the on and off time of applied voltage were used to measure the distribution of high voltage stress induced traps in thin silicon oxide films. The stress and transient currents were due to the charging and discharging of traps generated by high stress voltage in the silicon oxides. The transient current was caused by the tunnel charging and discharging of the stress generated traps nearby two interfaces. The stress induced leakage current will affect data retention in electrically erasable programmable read only memories. The oxide current for the thickness dependence of stress current, transient current, and stress induced leakage currents has been measured in oxides with thicknesses between $113.4{\AA}$ and $814{\AA}$, which have the gate area 10-3cm2. The stress induced leakage currents will affect data retention and the stress current, transient current is used to estimate to fundamental limitations on oxide thicknesses.

A lower-threshold-voltage (LVth) SRAM cell with an elevated cell biasing scheme, which enables to reduce the random threshold-voltage (Vth) variation and to alleviate the stability-degradation caused by word-line (WL) and cell power line (VDDM) disturbed accesses in row and column directions, has been proposed. The random Vth variation (${\sigma}Vth$) is suppressed by the proposed LVth cell. As a result, the LVth cell reduces the variation of static noise margin (SNM) for the data retention, which enables to maintain a higher SNM over a larger memory size, compared with a conventionally being used higher Vth (HVth) cell. An elevated cell biasing scheme cancels the substantial trade-off relationship between SNM and the write margin (WRTM) in an SRAM cell. Obtained simulation results with a 45-nm CMOS technology model demonstrate that the proposed techniques allow sufficient stability margins to be maintained up to $6{\sigma}$ level with a 0.5-V data retention voltage and a 0.7-V logic bias voltage.

Results obtained from this research showed that the anaerobic contact process was applicable to pear waste with COD removal efficiencies of up to $95\%$ depending on conditions, provided ammonium and phosphate salts were added as well as other nutrients, present in the commercial fertilizer, Milorganite or in yeast extract. These latter materials were required in minimum concentrations of 5 and 1.5 g/L, respectively, in the feed independent of HRT and volatile solids loading rate, with part of the effect due to the mineral fraction. Digestion was satisfactory over the whole range of volatile solids loading rates and liquid retention time of 30 to 0.5 days tested, although treatment efficiency dropped off noticeably between 1 and 0.5 day liquid retention time because of poorer flocculation and separation of anaerobic bacteria. Settling of anaerobic bacteria including methane producing bacteria was related to settling of mixed liquor suspended solids only at 1 to 5 days liquid retention times, at other liquid retention times anaerobic microorganism settled markedly less efficiently than mixed liquor suspended solids. Further studies are being made to provide information of practical and basic interest. Data on the composition of the active fraction of yeast extract might solve many practical nutrient problems encountered with the anaerobic contact process and improve its economics. Further improvement in the flocculation and settling of anaerobic bacteria as well as other bacteria would improve overall performance and allow the use of shorter liquid retention times with dilute waste. Knowledge about the numbers of methane formers present would allow a degree of understanding and control of the process not presently attainable.

The retention behaviors of polystyrenes influenced by mixed solvents are examined in thermal field-flow fractionation(ThFFF). Experimental data are obtained with polystyrene samples of molecular weights of 35,000, 110,000, 200,000 and 470,000 dissolved in organic solvents. The pure and mixed solvents are tetrahydrofuran(THF), chloroform(CHL), cyclohexane(CH), and benzene(BZ), respectively. The values of retention ratio(R) and thermal diffusion coefficient($D_T$) are measured with change of molecular weight and composition of mixed solvents. Atempts are then made to correlate the measured values with various physicochemical parameters of polymers and solvents. Studies suggest that R is significantly increased with the density of solvent and a good correlation is found between them. $D_T$ values decreases in the mixed solvent having has a higher concentration of poor solvent.

The optimum mobile phase condition for analysis of the six purine derivatives (caffeine, guanine, hypoxanthine, purine, theobromine, and theophylline) were determined by a HCI program. Reversed-phase HPLC system was used with the binary mobile phase, water and methanol. Three retention models (Snyder, Langmuir, and Binary polynomial) were considered to predict the retention factors. The elution profiles were calculated by the plate theory based on the binary polynomial retention model. From the final calculated results, the binary polynomial retention model showed the best agreements between the calculated and experimental data. In the isocratic mode, the optimum mobile phase composition of water/methanol is 93/7(v/v). However, we used step-gradient mode to decrease the run-time ($1^{st}$ mobile phase : water/methanol = 93/7 (v/v), gradient time : 5 min, $2^{nd}$ mobile phase : water/methanol = 75/25 (v/v)). The experimental and simulated profiles of above the two conditions show a good agreement.

Objectives: This study compared the retention of BioAggregate (BA; Innovative BioCeramix) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Angelus) as coronal plugs after applying different intracanal medications (ICMs) used in regenerative endodontic. Materials and Methods: One-hundred human maxillary central incisors were used. The canals were enlarged to a diameter of 1.7 mm. Specimens were divided into 5 groups (n = 20) according to the ICM used: calcium hydroxide (CH), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), triple-antibiotic paste (TAP), double-antibiotic paste (DAP), and no ICM (control; CON). After 3 weeks of application, ICMs were removed and BA or MTA were placed as the plug material (n = 10). The push-out bond strength and the mode of failure were assessed. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance, the Tukey's test, and the ${\chi}^2$ test; p values < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results: The type of ICM and the type of plug material significantly affected bond strength (p < 0.01). Regardless of the type of ICM, BA showed a lower bond strength than MTA (p < 0.05). For MTA, CH showed a higher bond strength than CON, TAP and DAP; CHX showed a higher bond strength than DAP (p < 0.01). For BA, CH showed a higher bond strength than DAP (p < 0.05). The mode of failure was predominantly cohesive for BA (p < 0.05). Conclusions: MTA may show better retention than BA. The mode of bond failure with BA can be predominantly cohesive. BA retention may be less affected by ICM type than MTA retention.

The purpose of this study was to establish the basic data of rational work environment management by grasping the interrelationship between motivation or organizational fairness and retention intention. From March 1, 2019 to April 12, 2019, clinical dental hygienists working in dental hospitals and clinics in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Jeonra provinces were sampled as a convenience, using self-informative methods. There was a significant positive correlation between motivation and organizational fairness, and there was a positive correlation with retention intention. Organizational fairness had a positive correlation with retention intention. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of the dental hygienists by establishing the working period based on the positive organizational fairness and the application of the active motivation program to increase the dental hygienist's intention.

Recent market saturation makes the local retailers consider an attempt to innovate the market with the retailer's brand. This is the retailers' efforts to expand the market control through the enhancement of private brands. As the competition among manufacturers extends to the competition between manufacturers and retailers, the marketing knowledges of manufacturers need to be diversified to the ones that can be applied to the manufacturers and retailers due to their bilateral competition. This research concentrates on the customer acquisition strategy (attack strategy) and customer retention strategy (defense strategy) in the place of both sides of manufacturers and retailers. Also this research targets to develop the differential marketing strategies for target market's National Brand(NB)/Private Brand(PB) purchase by analyzing individual customer's purchase probability on repurchase and switch-purchase of NB and PB. This study is based on the data of frequently consumed product, tomato ketchup on scanner panel from the ERIM data of University of Chicago, USA. This study compares and analyzes the NB and PB repurchases and switch-purchase of 4 types. The comparisons provide the informations that which factors should be managed for the attack strategy, the defense strategy, and the differential marketing strategies both for manufacturers and retailers. This research is expected to contribute on cumulating the industrial knowledges of retailers' and manufacturers' survival strategy, expecially focusing on the effect of marketing factors and consumer-characteristic factors.
