We suggest that supercontinuum can be used for absorption spectroscopy to observe the exciton levels of a semiconductor nano-structure. Exciton absorption spectrum of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well was observed using supercontinuum generated by a microstructrured fiber pumped by a femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser. Significantly narrower peaks were observed in the absorption spectrum from 11 K up to room temperature than photoluminescence (PL) spectrum peaks. Because supercontinuum is coherent light and can readily provide high enough intensity, this method can provide a coherent ultra-broad band light source to identify exciton levels in semiconductors, and be applicable to coherent nonlinear spectroscopy such as electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), lasing without inversion (LWI) and coherent photon control in semiconductor quantum structures.

이 연구는 남서태평양 통가열도에 위치한 TA (Tofua Arc) 12 해저산에 대한 해저지형, 자력자료를 이용한 자화벡터역산 모델링을 통해 해저면에서 심부층까지의 종합적인 3차원 자력구조 특징을 분석하였다. 북서-남동 방향성을 가진 타원형의 칼데라 해저지형이 TA 12 해저산 정상부에서 나타나며, 두 개의 작은 콘 모양의 지형이 칼데라 정상부 함몰지형에 존재한다. 또한 해저산 정상부 서쪽 사면에서는 콘 지형이 나타나는 지역부터 해저산 기저부 남서쪽 사면까지 큰 규모의 사면 해저곡이 보인다. TA 12 해저산에서는 칼데라 함몰지형에 저자기이상대가 나타나고 그 주변 칼데라 정상부 및 사면 지역에 고자기이상대가 둘러싸여 있다. 이는 함몰지형을 포함한 칼데라 정상부 지역에 강한 자성체의 분포 또는 마그마 관입 가능성이 있다고 해석될 수 있다. 3차원으로 해석된 자화벡터역산 결과에서는 해저 -3000 m부터 해저산의 주변 사면지역에서의 고이상대 존재와 자기 감수율이 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형의 천부층으로 향해 증가함을 보여 준다. 한편 주로 칼데라 정상부의 해저면 근처에서 소규모 고이상대들이 곳곳에 나타나고 있다. 따라서 TA 12 해저산에서는 마그마가 심부에서 천부로 올라올 때 해저산 주변 사면부에서 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형으로 이동했음이 예상된다. 그리고 해저면 근처의 복잡한 자력분포는 잔류자화의 영향으로 추정된다.

티탄자철석(titanomagnetite)은 해양지각을 이루는 현무암에 존재하는 중요한 자성광물로서 일반적으로 저온산화에 의해 양이온이 결핍된(cation-deficient) 티탄맥히마이트(titanomaghemite)로 변한다. 실험실에서 철성분 제거방식(removal of iron mechanism)을 통해 자연에서 일어나는 티탄자철석의 수성 저온산화(low-temperature aqueous oxidation)를 재현하였으며, 산화정도에 따라 티탄맥히마이트의 자기적 특성이 민감하게 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 실험 결과 산화정도에 따라 티탄자철석의 큐리온도(Tc)는 166$^{\circ}C$에서 40$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하였고, 상온에서의 포화자화 강도(Ms)는 126.30 kA/m(25.26 emu/g)에서 16.55 kA/m(3.31 emu/g)로 감소하였으며, 항자기력(Hc)은 6.13 kA/m(77 Oe)에서 38.83 kA/m (488 Oe)로 잔류항자기력(Hcr)은 23.24 kA/m(292 Oe)에서 47.03 kA/m(591 Oe)로 증가함을 관찰하였다. 또한 대자율($\chi$)은 $2023{\times}10^{-6}SI$에서 $84{\times}10^{-6}SI$로 감소함을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과를 근거로 현재에서 30 Ma까지의 해양지각의 자화 강도의 변화는 티탄자철석의 저온산화에 의한 결과로 해석하였으며 30~120 Ma에 이르는 해양지각의 자화 강도의 변화는 해양지각에 포함된 티탄자철석의 산화와 산화에 순반되는 광물전에 의한 결과로 추정하였으며 보다 구체적인 원인은 해양지각에서 채취한 시료에 대한 체계적인 연구를 통해서 밝혀질 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of walk training on leg strength, flexibility, postural stability, balance and gait in home bound elderly women. Eighteen elderly women of the experimental group aged between 70 and 90 years image who have normal vision, hearing and Romberg test. They participated in the 12 week walk training. The subjects of the experimental group practiced walk training 3 times a week for during 12 weeks. During the 40 minute workout, the subjects practiced 5 minutes of warming-up exercises, 30 minutes of conditioning exercises and 10 minutes of a cool-down exercise. The intensity for the conditioning phase was determined by subject' heart rates, which ranged from 60% to 70% of age-adjusted maximum heart rates. The body composition, leg strength, flexibility, postural stability, balance and gait were measured prior to and after the experimental treatment. The body fat, lean body mass, leg strength (ankle dorsiflexor, plantarflexor, inversor and eversir, knee flexor, extensior), flexibility (range of motion of ankle dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion and eversion), and postural stability of the experimental group were significantly greater than those of the control group. Duration of standing on the right foot and that of standing on the left foot of the experimental group was greater than that of the control group. Total balance scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Among 13 items for balance, the scores of experimental group in balance with eyes closes, turning balance, sternal nudge, neck turning, one leg standing balance and back extension were higher than those of the control group. Total scores of gait of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group following the walking training. Scores of experimental group in step height, step length and walk stance while walking among 9 items for gait were significantly higher than those of the control group. The results suggest that walk training can improve physical fitness for prevention in home bound elderly women.

Red phosphors of $Gd_{1-x}Al_3(BO_3)_4:{Eu_x}^{3+}$ were synthesized by using the solid-state reaction method. The phase structure and morphology of the phosphors were measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. The optical properties of $GdAl_3(BO_3)_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors with concentrations of $Eu^{3+}$ ions of 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 mol were investigated at room temperature. The crystals were hexagonal with a rhombohedral lattice. The excitation spectra of all the phosphors, irrespective of the $Eu^{3+}$ concentrations, were composed of a broad band centered at 265 nm and a narrow band having peak at 274 nm. As for the emission spectra, the peak wavelength was 613 nm under a 274 nm ultraviolet excitation. The intensity ratio of the red emission transition ($^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$) to orange ($^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_1$) shows that the $Eu^{3+}$ ions occupy sites of no inversion symmetry in the host. In conclusion, the optimum doping concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ions for preparing $GdAl_3(BO_3)_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was found to be 0.15 mol.

Objectives : The evaluation of peripheral nerve injuries has traditionally relied on a clinical history, physical examination, and electrodiagnostic studies. The purpose of the present study was to examine serial magnetic resonance image(MRI) changes following acute muscle denervation under experimental conditions and to identify potential advantages and disadvantages of this use of MRI. Methods : An experimental transection of right sciatic nerve on Spargue-Dawley rats was performed. MRI was performed with T1-weighted spin-echo and STIR sequences. The imaging findings were compared with EMG in order to determine its sensitivity relative to this standard procedure. A simultaneous histopathological study provided information about the morphological basis of the imaging findings. Signal intensities were expressed as a ratio of abnormal to normal. Results : The signal intensity ratio of muscles with the STIR sequence was increased significantly at 2 weeks after sciatic nerve transection(p<0.05), although definite signal change was seen as early as 4 days postdenervation in one. EMG revealed significant denervation potential from 3 days after nerve transection. Diffuse cell atrophy was revealed hostologically at 2 weeks after transection, which was at the same time of significant signal change in MRI. Conclusion : MRI signal changes in denervated muscles secondary to nerve injury correlate with the degree of muscle atrophy on histologic examination. In addition to EMG, MRI can document the course of muscle atrophy and mesenchymal abnormalities in denervation. These results indicate that MRI can play a complementary role in the evaluation of patients with denervation.

Aeromagnetic and gravity data were analyzed to delineate the subsurface structure of the Yeongdong basin and its related fault movement in the Okcheon fold belt. The aeromagnetic data of the total intensity (KIGAM, 1983) were reduced to the pole and three dimensional inverse modeling, which considers topography of the survey area in the modeling process, were carried out. The apparent susceptibility map obtained by three dimensional magnetic inversion, as well as the observed aeromagnetic anomaly itself, show clearly the gross structural trend of the Yeongdong basin in the direction on between $N30^{\circ}E$ and $N45^{\circ}E$. Gravity survey was carried out along the profile, of which the length is about 18.2 km across the basin. Maximum relative Bouguer anomaly is about 7 mgals. Both forward and inverse modeling were also carried out for gravity analysis. The magnetic and gravity results show that the Yeongdong basin is developed by the force which had created the NE-SW trending the magnetic anomalies. The susceptibility contrast around Yeongdong fault is apparent, and the southeastern boundary of the basin is clearly defined. The basement depth of the basin appears to be about 1.1 km beneath the sea level, and the width of the basin is estimated to be 7 km based on the simultaneous analysis of gravity and magnetic profiles. There exists an unconformity between the sedimentary rocks and the gneiss at the southeastern boundary, which is the Yeongdong fault, and granodiorite is intruded at the northwestern boundary of the basin. Our results of gravity and magnetic data analysis support that the Yeongdong basin is a pull-apart basin formed by the left-stepping sinistral strike-slip fault, which formed the Okcheon fold belt.

Objective : MR perfusion and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) are well known imaging studies to evaluate hemodynamic change between prior to and following superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) anastomosis in moyamoya disease. But their side effects and invasiveness make discomfort to patients. We evaluated the ivy sign on MR fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images in adult patients with moyamoya disease and compared it with result of SPECT and MR perfusion images. Methods : We enrolled twelve patients (thirteen cases) who were diagnosed with moyamoya disease and underwent STA-MCA anastomosis at our medical institution during a period ranging from September of 2010 to December of 2012. The presence of the ivy sign on MR FLAIR images was classified as Negative (0), Minimal (1), and Positive (2). Regions were classified into four territories: the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), the anterior MCA, the posterior MCA and the posterior cerebral artery. Results : Ivy signs on preoperative and postoperative MR FLAIR were improved (8 and 4 in the ACA regions, 13 and 4 in the anterior MCA regions and 19 and 9 in the posterior MCA regions). Like this result, the cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) on SPECT was significantly increased in the sum of CVR in same regions after STA-MCA anastomosis. Conclusion : After STA-MCA anastomosis, ivy signs were decreased in the cerebral hemisphere. As compared with conventional diagnostic modalities such as SPECT and MR perfusion images, the ivy sign on MR FLAIR is considered as a useful indicator in detecting brain hemodynamic changes between preoperatively and postoperatively in adult moyamoya patients.
