Characteristics of solar cells employing a lattice matched GaInP/GaAs quantum well (QW) structure in a single N-AlGaInP/p-InGaP heterojunction (HJ) were investigated and compared to those of solar cells without QW structure. The epitaxial layers were grown on a p-GaAs substrate with $6^{\circ}$ off the (100) plane toward the <111>A. The heterojunction of solar cell consisted of a 400 nm N-AlGaInP, a 590 nm p-GaInP and 14 periods of a 10 nm GaInP/5 nm GaAs for QW structure and a 800 nm p-GaInP for the HJ structure (control cell). The solar cells were characterized after the anti-reflection coating. The short-circuit current density for $1{\times}1mm^2$ area was $9.61mA/cm^2$ for the solar cell with QW structure while $7.06mA/cm^2$ for HJ control cells. Secondary ion mass spectrometry and external quantum efficiency results suggested that the significant enhancement of $J_{sc}$ and EQE was caused by the suppression of recombination by QW structure.

A MANPADS(Man Portable Air Defense System), which tracks infrared energy, is light enough for individuals to carry and can against to a variety of aircraft, making it widely deployed around the world, posing a major threat to aircraft. A flare has been developed as an IRCM(Infrared Countermeasures) that protects the life of friendly aircraft and combatants by deceiving such guided missiles. However, DIRCM, which can overcome the problems of existing IRCM, is being developed mainly in some developed countries, and the need for it has been increasing gradually. This paper modeled first generation IR seeker of AM modulation method, the second generation IR seeker of FM modulation method, and the third generation IR seeker of pulse modulation method among various MANPADS, and modeled the scattering light phenomenon in the seeker when laser beams are investigated in DIRCM. Using this, jamming simulations were performed in various engagement environments of the MANPADS and aircraft equipped with DIRCM, and the miss distance of the guided missiles and aircraft were analyzed. Simulation results show that DIRCM, which irradiates a modulated laser beam with one jamming code, deceives both first, second and third generation MANPADS at 1km and 2km of engagement distance. In particular, the survival rate of aircraft equipped with DIRCM increased when the distance of engagement increased from 1km to 2km, and the survival rate was at least 99% at 2km of engagement distance.

Debris flows occur in mountainous areas due to heavy rains resulting from climate change and result in disasters in the downstream area. The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact force of a debris flow when a check dam according is installed in various locations in the channel of a highly mountainous area. A Finite Differential Element Method (FDM) model was used to simulate the erosion and deposition based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation while considering the continuity of the fluid. The peak impact force from the debris flow occurred at 0 to 5 sec and 15 to 20 sec. When the supplied water discharge was increased, greater peak impact force was generated at 16 to 19 sec. This means that when increasing the water supply, the velocity of the debris flow became faster, which results in increased energy of the consolidation between the particles of the water and the sediment made. If a number of check dams were to be set up, it would be necessary to investigate the impact force at each location of the check dam. The results of this study could provide useful information in predicting the impact force of the debris flow and in installing the check dams in appropriate locations.

Energy which is released by a huge earthquake can reach the ionosphere and induce disturbances. Those disturbances can detected by analyzing the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellite's signal. For detecting those disturbances, band-pass filter is generally used. Therefore, it is important to select proper pass band that can contain disturbance's frequency. In this paper, we analyzed a frequency of the ionospheric disturbances which are induced by earthquake by using GNSS signal. For analyzing seismogenic ionospheric disturbances, we calculated a geometry free combination of carrier phase to obtain a ionospheric delay. After that, the fast Fourier transform was applied to the 1 mHz high-passed ionospheric delay. As a result of analyzing disturbances, the frequency band of earlier disturbances was 4.5 mHz~11mHz and the representative frequency was 5.7 mHz. The frequency band of subsequent disturbances was 6 mHz~10 mHz and the representative frequency was 7.3 mHz.

The supplementation level of barley was limited because of high contents of fiber in monogastric animals. Barley contained high soluble fiber, thus it could prevent to diarrhea of weaning pigs. Moreover, as the barley break down by enzymes, free sugars come out from the barley, which could be used as an energy source in weaning pigs and replace milk by-products in weaning pig's diet. Therefore, present study was conducted to investigate the influence of barley to replace milk by-product in weaning pig's diet on growth performance, blood profile, nutrient digestibility, diarrhea incidence, and economic analysis in weaning pigs. A total of 112 crossbred ($[Yorkshire{\times}Landrace]{\times}Duroc$, weaned at 28 days of age) piglets were allotted to 4 treatments in a randomized complete block (RCB) design. Each treatment has 7 replications with 4 pigs per pen. Pigs were fed each treatment diet which containing different levels of barley (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) at the expense of whey powder and lactose. Three phase feeding programs were used for 6 weeks of growth trial (phase 1: 0-2 weeks; phase 2: 3-4 weeks; phase 3: 5-6 weeks). During 0-2 week, body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG) and G:F ratio were decreased as barley level increased in the diet (linear response, p < 0.01). In blood profile, blood urea nitrogen was decreased as the barley level increased in the diet (linear, p < 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed in blood glucose level. In nutrient digestibility, crude fat digestibility was linearly increased as barley increased (linear, p < 0.01). The incidence of diarrhea was improved as increasing barley contents in all phases (linear, p < 0.01). These results demonstrated that supplementation of barley to replace milk by-product influenced negatively on growth performance during 0-2 week. However, the incidence of diarrhea and later growth performance from 3 week postweaning were improved as dietary barley level increased.

Emission reduction targets to respond to climate change have been discussed and set locally, nationally and globally. After Korean government set the national target in 2009, 16 metropolitan cities established voluntary emission reduction targets by 2020. This study review and compare historical greenhouse gas emissions, reduction target by 2020 and strategies in 16 metropolitan cities. Most cities chose a consumption-based inventory approach. Some cities set the reduction target excluding land use change and forestry (LUCF) at 30% against business-as-usual by 2020, while others set the absolute reduction target against past year including LUCF. The stringency of reduction target in metropolitan cities was evaluated differently according to the comparative indicators such as the targets against BAU or past year and per capita emission, etc. Key mitigation sectors were different across metropolitan cities. It is suggested that national government share detailed raw data for metropolitan cities' emission inventory with the local government. Using advanced mitigation model and two types' target based on BAU and historical year and integrating local government's climate change plan with its energy plan are also required.

Technology for energy recovery from waste can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. So recently, there are several companies using RDF, RPF, WCF instead of using only coal fuel and it's part of the fuel on the increase. In this study, we developed Wood chip fuel $CO_2$ emission factor through fuel analysis. It's moisture content is 23%, received net calorific value is 2,845 kcal/kg, and received basis carbon is 34%. The result of emission factor is $105ton\;CO_2/TJ$, it's 5.9% lower than 2006 IPCC guideline default factor $112ton\;CO_2/TJ$. The gross GHG(Greenhouse gases) emissions of plant A is $178,767ton\;CO_2 eq./yr$, and Net GHG emissions is $40,359ton\;CO_2 eq./yr$. Therefore, the reduction of GHG emissions is $138,408ton\;CO_2/yr$ through using WCF, and I accounts for 77% of all GHG emissions.

This study is analyzed the financial feasibility of biomass power plant in China in terms of fuel marginal price of biomass power plant. The range of fuel price is 150~300 RMB and IRR(Internal Rate of Return), NPV(Net Present Value), DSCR(Debt Service Coverage Ratio) and operation time are analyzed by 10 RMB from 150 RMB. The sensitivity of IRR went down by 1.35 on average. The sensibility of NPV showed big difference by 20% on 260 RMB and 270 RMB. In addition, DSCR of loan is at 1.0 at raw cost of 242 RMB and at lower than 1.0 when the raw cost over 242 RMB. It means that the pay-off of principal and interest of the loan is expected to be difficult in that case. The operation time of power plant should be 88% against standard operation time to maintain over 1.0 of DSCR. Therefore, the factors affecting the cost of raw material to build the power plant and to operate it should be prioritized.

This study has purpose to minimize the impact of climate change of Siheung. Vulnerability assessment was carried out for establishing the Siheung Climate Change Master Plan. Climate change vulnerability assessment analyzed using climate exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity indicators. A proxy variable is selected from each indicator. Meteorological data uses the RCP scenarios provided by the Meteorological Administration, and this study assumes that the same trend will continues in the future. Siheung are vulnerable to heavy rains in the flooded roads and farmland. Also, it is necessary to be careful heat wave in summer. The size and scale of the damage depends on the city's ability to respond to the impacts of climate change. It is necessary to make a adaptation plan for climate change impact assessment and vulnerability analysis. This study will be used to make Siheung Climate Change Master Plan and to determine the priority of the policy as guideline. It is expected that this study is helpful to pursue climate change vulnerability assessment of other local governments.

In this research, we describe the methodology and the quantification about GHG reduction effects, expected by optimization of operation mode according to establishing additional heat storage system of Bundang Combined Cycle Power Plant. As an intermediate form of General Combined Cycle Power Plant and Heat supply only district heating plant, Bundang Combined Cycle Power Plant(and Ilsan, Anyang, Bucheon) is possible to satisfy demand for the electrical load and thermal load capacity at the same time through changes to the operation mode itself. Therefore, through the operating transition of high-efficiency mode that the condenser cooling water is recovered and supplied to district heat and cooling, establishing additional heat storage system have flexible supply ability at the power and heat market. In this research, We calculated using the operating performance for the last three years(2008~2010) and efficiency of each mode-specific values. As a result, GHG reduction effects were calculated as $97.95kg_{-}CO_2/Gcal$ per heat energy 1 Gcal supplied at the heat storage system and we expected emmision reduction effect about $13,500Ton_{-}CO_2/yr$.
