  • The growth and electronic properties of ultrathin silver films deposited onto Pt(211) surface were studied using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The AES and LEED results indicate that the silver grows by a layer by layer growth followed by three dimensional islands growth. The XPS results show that the Ag 3d core-level binding energy of Ag overlayers on Pt(211) shifts toward lower binding energy relative to the bulk value at lower Ag coverage. This negative binding energy shift of the Ag 3d core level is explained by the reduced coordination number of the overlayer atoms and the resulting initial state band narrowing effect suggested by Wertheim and Citrin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 1978, 41, 1425].

  • Purpose: Support policies for small and medium-sized retailers (SMSRs) have been promoted in various ways over the past 20 years, but they are generally regarded as unsuccessful. The purpose of this study is to analyze the process and impact of policy changes, identify the reasons for the lack of success, and explore policy alternatives. Research design, data and methodology: This study explored major policies in various categories such as the retail industry, traditional markets, and Micro-Enterprises from the mid-1990s to the present. It also analyzed the short- and long-term impacts of major policies at the retail format level like SMSRs, using data from Statistics Korea's service industry survey. Results: This research found that sudden shifts in policy philosophy conflicted with the existing market structure and reduced the effectiveness of policies. It also found that policies aimed at improving competitiveness at the SMSRs-level had some effect, while polices aimed at supporting expenses at the individual store-level were difficult to achieve their intended purpose. Conclusions: The failure of the policy to support SMSRs is fundamentally due to the late response and conflicts between policies. It was also not successful due to the policy's focus on individual store-level expenses and maintaining employment rather than structural improvements of SMSRs format.

  • 목 적 : 본 연구는, 교대근무자에 있어 세 교대근무간의 수면양상과 자율신경계활동성을 비교함으로써, 근무자들은 어떤 근무시에 가장 적합하다고 느끼는지 그리고 교대근무자의 심리적, 신체적 문제점의 특성은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 본 연구는 근무자들이 교대근무에 좀 더 효과적으로 적응하는데 도움을 주고자 기획되었다. 방 법 : 3일 정도 연속적으로 한 교대근무를 한 후 1일 휴무, 그 다음에 다른 교대로 넘어가는 빠른 순환주기의 교대근무자 51명이 연구에 참여하였다. 각 대상은 수면일기를 작성하였으며 수면잠복기, 수면기간시간, 수면 중 깨어난 횟수를 세 교대근무간에 비교하였다. Epworth 졸음척도와 시각아날로그척도를 사용하여 졸음을 평가하였으며 기분상태는 기분상태척도로 평가하였다. 심박수변동성과, 스트레스 호르몬(아드레날린, 노르아드레날린) 및 그 대사산물을 측정하여 자율신경계 활동성을 살펴보았다. 심박수변동성에는 저주파영역의 스펙트럼 파워, 고주파영역의 스펙트럼 파워, 저주파영역의 파워와 고주파영역의 파워간의 비가 포함되었다. 결 과 : 수면기간시간은 오후근무시 가장 길었고 수면잠복기는 밤근무시 가장 짧았다. 깨어났을 때의 각성도는 오전근무시 가장 저하되었고 작업 중의 각성도는 밤근무 중 가장 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 밤근무시 근무자들은 신체적인 피곤감과 인지기능의 저하를 호소하였다. 심박수변동성의 비교를 통해 오후근무시 부교감신경계가 가장 활성화된다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 아드레날린 및 노르아드레날린 분비도 통계적인 의미는 없었지만 오후근무시 가장 감소하였다. 결 론 : 본 연구결과 오후근무가 교대근무자에게 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 오전근무시에는 빛을 아침에 투여하고 밤근무시에는 근무 중에 빛을 투여하면 교대근무에의 적응이 촉진될 것으로 생각된다.

  • The electronic property of graphene was investigated by hydrazine treatment. Hydrazine ($N_2H_4$) highly increases electron concentrations and up-shifts Fermi level of graphene based on significant shift of Dirac point to the negative gate voltage. We have observed contact resistance and channel length dependent mobility of graphene in the back-gated device after hydrazine monohydrate treatment and continuously monitored electrical characteristics under Nitrogen or air exposure. The contact resistance increases with hydrazine-treated and subsequent Nitrogen-exposed devices and reduces down in successive Air-exposed device to the similar level of pristine one. The channel conductance curve as a function of gate voltage in hole conduction regime keeps analogous value and shape even after Nitrogen/Air exposure specially whereas, in electron conduction regime change rate of conductance along with the level of conductance with gate voltage are decreased. Hydrazine could be utilized as the highly effective donor without degradation of mobility but the stability issue to be solved for future application.

  • A new level shifter using n-channel aluminum-doped zinc tin oxide (AZTO) thin film transistors (TFTs) was proposed to integrate driving circuits on qVGA panels for mobile display applications. The circuit used positive feedback loop to overcome limitations of circuits designed with oxide TFTs which is depletion mode n-channel TFTs. The measured results shows that the proposed circuit shifts 10 V input voltage to 20 V output voltage and its power consumption is 0.46 mW when the supply voltage is 20 V and the operating frequency is 10 kHz.

  • 시그마 수준(sigma level)이란 미국 모토롤라사에 의해 소개된 프로세스 능력 지수로서 1970년대 이후 널리 활용되고 있는 다양한 지수들 중의 하나이다. 이는 다른 지수들과 비교할 때 모 프로세스의 확률 분포에 기초한다는 장점을 갖지만 양산 단계를 가정한 것으로 R&D 분야의 시제품 그리고/또는 초도 양산품 단계에 직접 적용하는 것은 적절하지 못할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 시그마 수준을 계산할 때 가정하는 치우침에 대한 통계적 고찰을 통하여 양산단계에서 6 시그마 품질 수준을 달성하기 위한 개발 단계의 시제품 그리고/또는 초도 양산품의 목표 시그마 수준 설정 방법을 소개한다. 그리고 이를 기초로 개발과 양산 단계에서 경제성을 달성할 수 있는 설계 공차의 강건 한계 도출 방법을 제시해 보고자 한다.

  • Time series of ocean climate indices and catch records were used to identify the alternation patterns of pelagic fish populations in relation to climate regime shifts. During 1910-2008, an orderly alternation of dominant pelagic fish groups was observed in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC; Yellow Sea-East China Sea-East Sea/Japan Sea) and Kuroshio-Oyashio Current (KOC; Northwestern Pacific) regions. After the collapse of herring fishery in the late 1920s, the sardine (A group) dominated in the 1930s, 3 other species (C group; Pacific saury, jack mackerel, and anchovy) dominated in the 1950s-1960s, chub mackerel (B group) dominated in the 1970s, and then sardine (A group) dominated again during cool regime in the 1980s. As sardine biomass decreased in association with the climate regime shift that occurred in the late 1980s, catches of C group immediately increased after the regime shift and remained at high levels during warm regime in the 1990s. Alternations of dominant fish groups occurred 6 times between 1910 and 2008. The dominant period of the 7 species lasted for 10-20 years. The catch of Pacific sardine in the TWC and KOC regions showed a negative correlation with the catch of the other 5 species (Pacific herring, anchovy, jack mackerel, Pacific saury, and common squid), suggesting that the abundance of the 5 species is strongly affected by the abundance of Pacific sardine in relation to the climate regime shifts. The total catch level of the 7 species in the KOC region was generally higher than that in the TWC region before 1991 but was lower after 1992, suggesting that the fish populations in the Pacific side are shifted to the TWC region by zonal oscillation of the oceanic conditions in relation to the climate regime shift in the late 1980s.

  • We determined the effects of temperature shifts on the kinetics of the numbers of antibody-secreting cell (ASC) in the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus immunised with formalin-killed Edwardsiella tarda. When fish that were acclimated to $22^{\circ}C$ and immunised at that temperature were transferred to a lower temperature ($12^{\circ}C$) at a various times (immediately, 1, 2 or 4 weeks) after immunisation, both further differentiation of B cells and secretion of antibody from the ASC developed at $22^{\circ}C$ were suppressed at $12^{\circ}C$. However, in the converse experiment ($12^{\circ}C$ to $22^{\circ}C$), the magnitude of the humoral immune response was recovered independent of the time of the transfer after immunisation at low temperature, even though the peak levels of each transferred group did not reach the level found in $22^{\circ}C$ control group. The results were confirmed by counting the number of specific antibody secreting cells (SASC) in the spleen. This study provides the evidences of the immune reaction that the potential for antibody production in B cells of flounder, the most important species in aquatic industry of Korea, immunized at high temperature is suppressed by subsequent exposure to low temperature and that low temperature-induced humoral immuno suppression can be reversed by exposure to a higher temperature.

  • Soil salinity due to accumulation of salts particularly sodium chloride affects agricultural lands and their vegetation. Generally, rice is a moderately sensitive plant with some cultivars with varying tolerance to salinity. Though there are physiological differences between salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant rice cultivars, both are still affected especially during high salinity and prolonged exposure. This also ultimately affects their indigenous bacterial endophytes particularly those that inhabit the rice seed endosphere. This study investigates the dynamic structure of seed bacterial endophytes of salt-sensitive and tolerant rice cultivars grown in different levels of soil salinity. Endophytic bacterial diversity was studied Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. Results revealed a very interesting pattern of diversity and shifts in community structure of bacterial endophytes in the rice seeds. There is a general decrease in diversity for the salt-sensitive rice cultivar, IR29 as soil salinity increases. For the salt-tolerant cultivars, IC32 and IC37, diversity interestingly increased at moderate salinity then decreased at high soil salinity. The patterns of community structure is also strikingly different for the salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant rice cultivars. IR29 has a more even distribution of abundance, but under soil salinity, the community shifted where Curtobacterium, Pantoea, Flavobacterium and Microbacterium become the more dominant bacterial communities. For IC32 and IC37, the dominant bacterial groups under normal stress conditions were also the dominant bacterial groups during salt stress conditions. Their seed bacterial community is dominated by endophytes belonging to Microbacterium, Flavobacterium, Pantoea, Kosakonia and Enterobacter. Stenotrophomonas and Xanthomonas have not changed in terms of abundance under different salinity stress level in the salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant rice cultivars. This study showed that soil salinity greatly influenced the seed bacterial communities of rice seeds irrespective of their physiological tolerance to salinity.
