An all solid-state thin film supercapacitor (TFSC) with Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ structure was fabricated on Pt/Ti/Si substrate using Co$_3$O$_4$ thin film electrode. Each Co$_3$O$_4$ film was grown by reactive dc reactive magnetron sputtering with increasing $O_2$/[Ar+O$_2$] ratio. Amorphous LiPON electrolyte film was deposited on Co$_3$O$_4$/Pt/Ti/Si in pure nitrogen ambient by using reactive rf magnetron sputtering. The electrochemical behavior of the Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ multi-layer structures exhibits a behavior of a bulk-type supercapacitor, even though much lower capacity (from 5 to 25 mF/$\textrm{cm}^2$-$\mu\textrm{m}$) than that of the bulk one. It was found that the TFSC showed a fairly constant discharge capacity with a constant current of 50 $\mu\textrm{A}/\textrm{cm}^2$ at the cut-off voltage 0-2V during 400 cycles. It is shown that the electrochemical behavior of the Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ TFSC is dependent upon the sputtering gas ratio. The capacity dependency of electrode films on different gas ratios was explained by different structural, electrical, and surfacical properties.

In order to enhance the electron mobility in SOI n-MOSFET, we fabricated fully depletion(FD) n-MOSFET on the strained Si/relaxed SiGa/SiO$_2$/Si structure(strained Si/SGOI) formed by inserting SiGe layer between a buried oxide(BOX) layer and a top silicon layer. The summated thickness of the strained Si and relaxed SiGe was fixed by 12.8 nm and then the dependency of electron mobility on strained Si thickness was investigated. The electron mobility in the FD n-MOSFET fabricated on the strained Si/SGOI enhanced about 30-80% compared to the FD n-MOSFET fabricated on conventional SOI. However, the electron mobility decreased with the strained Si thickness although the inter-valley phonon scattering was reduced via the enhancement of the Ge mole fraction. This result is attributed to the increment of intra-valley phonon scattering in the n-channel 2-fold valley via the further electron confinement as the strained Si thickness was reduced.

In this paper, we analyzed wage determinants of the vocational high school graduates utilizing both individual-level and work region-level variables. We formulate the models in the way wage determination has multi-level structure in the sense that individual wage is influenced by individual-level variables (level-1) and work region-level (level-2) variables. To incorporate dependency between individual wages into the model, we utilize hierarchical linear model (HLM). The major results are as follows. First, it is shown that the HLM model is better than the OLS regression models which do not take level-1 and level-2 variables simultaneously into account. Second, random effects on sex, maester dummy and engineering dummy variables are statistically significant. Third, the fixed effects on business hours and mean wage of regular job for level-2 variables are statistically significant effect individual-level wages. Finally, parental education level, parental income, number of licenses and high school grade are statistically significant for higher individual-level wages.

We design an expert system for tomato smart farm using decision trees and construct a control system with decision structure similar to that of farmers by using the data generated by factors that vary depending on the surrounding environment of each house. At present, Smart farm's control system does not control itself like the way farmers have done so far. Therefore, the dependency of smart farm control system is still not high. Direct intervention by farmers is indispensable for environmental control based on surrounding environment such as sensor value in smart farm. Therefore, we aimed to design a controller that incorporates decision trees into the expert system to make a system similar to the decision making of farmers. Prior to controlling the equipment in the house, it automatically selects the most direct effect among the various environmental factors, and then builds an expert system for complex control by including criteria for decision making by farmers. This study focused on deriving results using data without using heavy tools. Data is coming out of many smart farms at present. We expect this to be a standard for a methodology that allows farmers to access quickly and easily and reduce direct intervention.

The model foods were prepared by simulating mositure, protein and starch, and they were heated for 30 mins, at $80^{\circ}C$ and then cooled at $25^{\circ}C$ in water bath. Their rheological properties were investigated by the use of Brookfield wide-gap rotational viscometer at $30{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, and the rotation speed ranged from 0.6 to 6 rpm and solid content ranged from 8% to 11%, the results obtained were as follows. 1. All the model foods ($P_1S_3$, $P_2S_2$, $P_1S_1$, $P_2S_1$, $P_3S_1$, $P_4S_0$) exhibited pseudoplastic behaviors with yeild stress and were thixotropic foods which showed time - dependent structural decays, but the starch food of 8 ~ 11 % solid content did not show the flow behavior. 2. The correlation between the rheological parameters and the protein content of model foods in various moisture content did not appeared a constant relationship. 3. The change of shear stress against shear rate in high starch foods was larger than that in high protein foods and the structure at initial shear time was decayed with a quatic equation according to the Tiu's Model and structural decay was in parallel with the increase of shear rate. 4. The temperature dependency of the apparent viscosity of $P_1S_2$, and $P_2S_1$ was fully expressed by Arrhenius equation and activation energies of their food were 2.35 and $1.34Kcal/g{\cdot}mol$, respectively.

This study is to identify the relationship in non-profit social welfare organizations(SWOs) between financial sources and service delivery. Especially the impact of the former to the latter is its main concern. For this purpose, gathered are the 1992, 1999 financial reports of those study organizations, and some qualitative data on a number of the organizations collected by the author is also used for verifying and interpreting the data. Gronbjerg's study(1992) provided an analytical tool for decomposing financial structure of human service organizations, and resource-dependency perspective was a theoretical framework for interpreting the impact of financial composition to service delivery. The findings are as follows: (1) Between 1992 and 1999, there was a noticeable change in financial composition among SWOs. Government subsidies has increased in terms of both amounts and percentages, for residential facilities 75% to 82% and for nonresidential facilities 37% to 47%. Funding from donations shows no abrupt changes, although absolute amounts were slight increasing. Fees were sharply decreasing, especially for the non-residential facilities which previously enjoyed them as valuable resources for preventing unnecessary influence from government. (2) The funding sources of SWOs and their strategies to acquire them has impact on service delivery. Although non-government fundings(donations and fees) were found to give elasticity to SWOs, various problems associated with acquiring them (i.e., changing the clientele) would prohibit SWOs from fully concentrating to those fundings. Meanwhile, government fundings are characterized as stable, and, as such, most of the SWOs prefers. Limited elasticity, red-tape, 'sacrifice of quality of service' over efficiency, etc. are referred to the problems.

Three-dimensional (3-D) optimally-interpolated sea surface temperature (SST) field was produced by using AQUA/AMSR-E satellite data, and its limitations were described by comparing the temporal average of sea surface temperatures. The 3-D OI (Optimum Interpolation) SST showed a small error of less than $0.05^{\circ}C$ in the central North Pacific, but yielded large errors of greater than $0.4^{\circ}C$ at the coastal area where the satellite microwave data were not available. OI SST composite around pixels with no observation due to heavy rainfall or cloudy pixels had estimation errors of $0.1-0.15^{\circ}C$. Comparison with temporal means showed a tendency that overall OI SSTs were underestimated around heavy cloudy pixels and smoothed out by reducing the magnitude of SST fronts. In the low-latitude areas near the equator, OI SST field produced discontinuity, originated from the window size for the OI procedure. This was mainly caused by differences in the spatial scale of oceanic features. Infernal Rossby deformation radius, as a measure of spatial stale, showed dominant latitudinal variations with O(1) difference in the North Pacific. This study suggests that OI SST methodology should consider latitudinally-varying size of window and the characteristics of spatial scales of oceanic phenomena with substantial dependency on latitude and vertical structure of density.

In this study, three-dimensional fluid flow analyses have been performed in order to investigate the performance characteristics of a horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations utilizing the shear-stress-transport turbulence model. The computational domain for the flow analysis has been composed of hexahedral grids, and the grid dependency test has been carried out so as to determine the optimum grid size. Performance characteristics of the HATT have been investigated in consideration of the effects of hub nose geometry, inflow angle, and the tower. It has been found that the power output can be enhanced along with an increase of the ratio of the length to the diameter of the turbine nose, and the power of HATT has been reduced by approximately 10% when the primary fluid flow had an inflow angle of 15°. The power output of downstream HATT is found to be lower than that of the upstream HATT by about 1%.

We are currently conducting studies on culturing and biocompatibility assessment of various cells such as neural stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells(IPS cells) on carbon nanotube (CNT), on nerve regeneration electrodes, and on silicon wafers with a focus on developing nerve integrated CNT based bio devices for interfacing with living organisms, in order to develop brain-machine interfaces (BMI). In addition, we are carried out the chemical modification of carbon nanotube (mainly SWCNTs)-based bio-nanosensors by the plasma ion irradiation (plasma activation) method, and provide a characteristic evaluation of a bio-nanosensor using bovine serum albumin (BSA)/anti-BSA binding and oligonucleotide hybridization. On the other hand, the researches in the case of "novel plasma" have been widely conducted in the fields of chemistry, solid physics, and nanomaterial science. From the above-mentioned background, we are conducting basic experiments on direct irradiation of body tissues and cells using a micro-spot atmospheric pressure plasma source. The device is a coaxial structure having a tungsten wire installed inside a glass capillary, and a grounded ring electrode wrapped on the outside. The conditions of plasma generation are as follows: applied voltage: 5-9 kV, frequency: 1-3 kHz, helium (He) gas flow: 1-1.5 L/min, and plasma irradiation time: 1-300 sec. The experiment was conducted by preparing a culture medium containing mouse fibroblasts (NIH3T3) on a culture dish. A culture dish irradiated with plasma was introduced into a $CO_2$-incubator. The small animals used in the experiment involving plasma irradiation into living tissue were rat, rabbit, and pick and are deeply anesthetized with the gas anesthesia. According to the dependency of cell numbers against the plasma irradiation time, when only He gas was flowed, the growth of cells was inhibited as the floatation of cells caused by gas agitation inside the culture was promoted. On the other hand, there was no floatation of cells and healthy growth was observed when plasma was irradiated. Furthermore, in an experiment testing the effects of plasma irradiation on rats that were artificially given burn wounds, no evidence of electric shock injuries was found in the irradiated areas. In fact, the observed evidence of healing and improvements of the burn wounds suggested the presence of healing effects due to the growth factors in the tissues. Therefore, it appears that the interaction due to ion/radicalcollisions causes a substantial effect on the proliferation of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and transforming growth factor (TGF) that are present in the cells.

If 1st order ZFC is consistent(has a model($M_1$)) it has a transitive denumerable model($M_2$). This leads to a paradoxical situation called 'Skolem paradox'. This can be easily resolved by Skolem's typical resolution. but In the process, we must accept the model theoretic relativity for the concept of set. This relativity can generate a situation where the meaning of the set concept, for example, is given differently depending on the two models. The problem is next. because the sentence '¬denu(PN)' which indicate that PN is not denumerable is equally true in two models, A indistinguishability problem that the concept <¬denu> is not formally indistinguishable in ZFC arise. First, I will give a detail analysis of what the nature of this problem is. And I will provide three ways of responding to this problem from the standpoint of supporting ZFC. First, I will argue that <¬denu> concept, which can be relative to the different models, can be 'almost' distinguished in ZFC by using the formalization of model theory in ZFC. Second, I will show that <¬denu> can change its meaning intrinsically or naturally, by its contextual dependency from the semantic considerations about quantifier that plays a key role in the relativity of <¬denu>. Thus, I will show the model-relative meaning change of <¬denu> concept is a natural phenomenon external to the language, not a matter of responsible for ZFC.
