We present an update on our proposal that during the 'quasar era' (1.5 $\le$ z $\le$ 3), powerful radio galaxies could have played a major role in the enhanced global star-formation, and in the widespread magnetization and metal pollution of the universe. A key ingredient of this proposal is our estimate that the true cosmological evolution of the radio galaxy population is likely to be even steeper than what has been inferred from flux-limited samples of radio sources with redshift data, when an allowance is made for the inverse Compton losses on the cosmic microwave background which were much greater at higher redshifts. We thus estimate that a large fraction of the clumps of proto-galactic material within the cosmic web of filaments was probably impacted by the expanding lobes of radio galaxies during the quasar era. Some recently published observational evidence and simulations which provide support for this picture are pointed out. We also show that the inverse Compton x-ray emission from the population of radio galaxies during the quasar era, which we inferred to be largely missing from the derived radio luminosity function, is still only a small fraction of the observed soft x-ray background (XRB) and hence the limit imposed on this scenario by the XRB is not violated.

The application of time-domain methods in emission measurement instruments allows for a reduction in scan time by several orders of magnitude and for new evaluation methods to be realized such as the real-time spectrogram to characterize transient emissions. In this paper two novel systems for time-domain EMI measurements above 1 GHz are presented. The first system combines ultra-fast analog-to-digital-conversion and real-time digital signal processing on a field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) with ultra-broadband multi-stage down-conversion to enable measurements in the range from 10 Hz to 26 GHz with high sensitivity and full-compliance with the requirements of CISPR 16-1-1. The required IF bandwidths were added to allow for measurements according to MIL-461F and DO-160F. The second system realizes a system of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and has an upper bandwidth limit of 4 GHz. With the implementation of an automatic mismatch calibration, the system fulfills CISPR 16-1-1 dynamic range requirements. Measurements of the radiated emissions of electronic consumer devices and household appliances like the non-stationary emissions of a microwave oven are presented. A measurement of a personal computer's conducted emissions on a power supply line according to DO-160F is given.

This study was designed to determine the effects of three cooking methods, boiling, microwave, and steaming, on elemental compositions of green pumpkin, zucchini, and sweet and ripened pumpkin. The cooking methods were carried out at 3, 5, and 10 min. The samples were then dried, crushed, and decomposed by microwave-assisted digestion method. Macro elements were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES), whereas ICP-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) was used for micro elements determination. From the results, macro elements were present in the order of K, P, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Zn, and Na in all analyzed pumpkins. Among micro elements, Mn, Cu, Rb, and Ba, were present at high levels. For the effects of cooking methods, boiling significantly reduced the concentrations of elements. Cooking time affected concentrations of elements in the same manner with large differences between elemental contents in samples cooked for 5 and 10 min. Regarding micro elements contents, both effects were not significant. Similar elemental compositions with different concentration levels in all pumpkin types were observed. Green pumpkin and ripened pumpkin showed high retention rates of inorganic components upon steaming, and zucchini and sweet pumpkin showed high retention rates upon microwave cooking. Conclusively, cooking method and time affect amounts of residual inorganic ingredients in pumpkin.

The emission of microwave sulfur lamp is mainly composed of visible light. This lamp producing little infrared radiation, has high light efficiency, long lifespan and less power consumption. In comparison with xenon lamp, growing under sulfur lamp apparently postponed jointing, increased the number of tillers, accelerated root growth of wheat. Relatively, xenon lamp evidently promoted heading and grain maturation. The development characteristics of wheat plant under sulfur lamp were more similar with that in natural condition.

Ultra-thin silicon nitride films were fabricated with ECR(Electron cyclotron Resonance) nitrogen plasma at room temperature. Film thickness was about 50$\AA$ after nitridation for 1min at microwave power of 1000W, RF power of 500W, and NS12T pressure of ${\times}10^{-3}$ torr. 50$\AA$ fo nitride film was grown within 1 min and no appreciable growth occured thereafter. Dielectric breakdown strength and leakage current density in Al/SiN/Si structure were measured to be about 7-11 MV/cm and ${\times}10^{-10}~5{\times}10^{-10}A/cm^{2}$, respectively. Observed linear relationship in 1n(J/E)-vs-E$^{1/2}$ and no polarity-dependence of the leakage current indicated that the Poole-Frenkel emission is mainly responsible for the conduction in this nitrided silicon films.

수소화된 비정질 탄소(a-C:H0는 그 형성 조건에 따라서 여러 가지 다른 구조와 특성을 갖게 되며, 특히 DLC(diamond-like carbon)-FED(field emission display) 개발 면에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 a-C:H 박막을 PECVD(plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법으로 증착하고 주고 ESR 및 Raman 측정을 통하여 그 결과를 조사해 보았다. PECVD 증착가스는 CH4 가스를 사용하였다. 기판은 Corning 1737 glass를 사용하였고, 기판 온도는 32$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 증착 압력과 R>F. power는 각각 0.1-1 Torr 와 12-36 W 사이에서 변화되었다. ESR를 피하기 위하여, microwave power에 대한 ESR 신호 의존성을 측정하고 포화효과를 피하기 위한 Raman spectroscopy로 분석하였다. R.F.power가 증가할수록 증착속도는 0.06 nm/sec 정도까지 대체로 증가하였으나, pressure가 1 Torr 일때는 같은 R.F. power로써 증착이 일어나지 않는 경우도 발생하였다. 증착된 a-C:H 박막은 R.F.power가 증가할수록 스핀밀도의 증가가 두드러졌으며, 기타 증착가스 압력 등의 증착 조건에 따른 ESR 및 Raman 스펙트럼의 변화를 관찰하였다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently attracted great attention because of their excellent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electronic properties. These useful properties of carbon nanotubes make themselves good candidates for various application field, such as a transistor, battery, field emission display, nanoscale inter-connects, and so on. Gas-phase techniques offer the unique ability to synthesize well-oriented arrays of CNTs. However, it is seldom reported that the pressure influences on the growth of CNTs under low substrate temperature. In this work, the effect of the working pressure and the influence of the catalyst preparation on the properties of CNTs grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) were investigated.

Because of the result of a large use of electronic equipments, the occupation density of microwave frequency band is highly increased, and electromagnetic environment is getting more seriously bad. It is sometimes reported that electronic machines are not normally operated on account of the influence of undesired electromagnetic wave, which often gives fatal blow to even human life and thus becomes serious social problems. OATS(Open Area Test Site) is principally used to measure EMI or examine elelctromagnetic emission. Because of various restrictions we often build semi-anechoic chamber which has the function of OATS to measure EMI or EMS other than OATS. If the difference of the site attenuation between semi-anechoic chamber and OATS is within ${\pm}3dB$, the semi-anechoic chamber is recognized as adequate facility to measure EMI or EMS. Accordingly authors evaluate and analyze site attenuation due to absorbent materials, polarization, mutual coupling effects, etc. The calculated and the measured site attenuation in semi-anechoic chamber are compared. As a result good agreement is obtained.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) is a type of flat panel display utilizing the light emission produced by gas discharge. Barrier Ribs of PDP separating each sub-pixel prevents optical and electrical crosstalks from adjacent sub-pixels. The mold for forming the barrier ribs has been newly researched to overcome the disadvantages of conventional manufacturing processes such as screen printing, sand-blasting and photosensitive glass methods. The mold for PDP barrier ribs have stripes of micro grooves transferring glass-material wall. In this paper , Stripes of grooves of which width 48$\mu$m, depth 124$\mu$m , pitch 274$\mu$m was acquired by machining of single crystal silicon with dicing saw blade. Maximum roughness of the bottom of the grooves was 59.6 nm Ra in grooving Si. Barrier ribs were farmed with silicone rubber mold, which is transferred from grooved Si forming hard mold. Silicone rubber mold has the elasticity, which enable to accommodate the waviness of lower glass plate of PDP. The methods assisted by the microwave and UV was adopted for reducing the forming time of glass paste.
