본 연구에서는 새로운 형태의 미세 전자 소자용 절연필름으로서 사용이 기대되는 폴리우레탄이미드를 용해성 폴리이미드와 폴리우레탄의 가교에 의해 합성하여 폴리우레탄의 함량에 따른 잔류응력 및 모폴로지, 열적 특성변화에 관해 연구하였다. 기존의 폴리우레탄이미드와는 달리 가교가 가능한 말단기로서 maleic anhydride(MA)를 사용하여 용해성 폴리이미드(6FDA-ODA/MA)를 화학적 이미드화법을 사용하여 합성하였다. 여기에 폴리우레탄 전구체를 hydroxyl ethyl acrylate로 반응시켜 만들어진 폴리우레탄을 가교시킴으로써 네트워크 구조의 새로운 폴리우레탄이미드 필름을 제조한 후 thin film stress analyzer(TFSA), XRD, TGA, DMTA를 이용해 그 특성을 분석하였다. 종래의 다른 폴리우레탄이미드 합성법과는 차별화된 각각의 폴리머의 가교형 말단끼리의 결합을 유도하는 제조법을 이용하여 합성함으로써 상온에서 잔류응력 값이 폴리우레탄의 함량이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 응력 실험 결과는 고분자 주쇄 구조의 모폴로지에 의해 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 열안정성 또한 기존 폴리우레탄($240^{\circ}C$)에 비해 많이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 잔류응력 측정 온도 범위하에서 열팽창계수는 폴리우레탄의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

지상 LiDAR 측량은 구조물이나 지형의 시간별 변형을 쉽게 파악할 수 있어 토목시설물의 유지관리에 활용성이 높다. 그러나 제방과 같은 하천시설물은 식생의 영향으로 식생 하부의 지형이나 구조물의 변형을 파악하기 어렵다. 식생 제거 필터는 색상필터와 형태필터로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 식생필터의 정확도 향상을 위해 색상과 지형을 결합한 복합필터를 개발하였다. 8개의 색상필터, 6개의 지형필터, 4개의 복합필터를 제방 비탈면의 식생제거에 적용하여 정확도와 계산시간을 비교하였다. 색상필터는 계산시간은 짧으나 식생 영역에서 정확도가 낮게 나타났다. 형태필터는 식생 영역에서는 정확도가 높으나 거석 등 국부적 지형 변화가 심한 곳에는 정확도 낮게 나타났다. 복합필터도 대체로 지형필터와 유사한 경향을 나타내나 ExGGM의 경우 식생 영역과 거석 영역 모두에서 정확도가 우수하였다. 정확도와 계산시간을 고려하며 일반적인 경우에는 복합필터인 ExGGM이 적합하며, 국부적인 지형 변화가 심하지 않은 경우에는 형태필터인 GrMIn 또는 복합필터인 ExGISL이 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: To investigate the value of ultrasound (US) microflow assessment in distinguishing malignant from benign solid breast masses as well as the association between US parameters and histologic microvessel density (MVD). Materials and Methods: Ninety-eight breast masses (57 benign and 41 malignant) were examined using Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) before biopsy. Two radiologists evaluated the quantitative and qualitative vascular parameters on SMI (vascular index, morphology, distribution, and penetration) and CEUS (time-intensity curve analysis and enhancement characteristics). US parameters were compared between benign and malignant masses and the diagnostic performance was compared between SMI and CEUS. Subgroup analysis was performed according to lesion size. The effect of vascular parameters on downgrading Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4A masses was evaluated. The association between histologic MVD and US parameters was analyzed. Results: Malignant masses were associated with a higher vascular index (15.1 ± 7.3 vs. 5.9 ± 5.6), complex vessel morphology (82.9% vs. 42.1%), central vascularity (95.1% vs. 59.6%), penetrating vessels (80.5% vs. 31.6%) on SMI (all, p < 0.001), as well as higher peak intensity (37.1 ± 25.7 vs. 17.0 ± 15.8, p < 0.001), slope (10.6 ± 11.2 vs. 3.9 ± 4.2, p = 0.001), area (1035.7 ± 726.9 vs. 458.2 ± 410.2, p < 0.001), hyperenhancement (95.1% vs. 70.2%, p = 0.005), centripetal enhancement (70.7% vs. 45.6%, p = 0.023), penetrating vessels (65.9% vs. 22.8%, p < 0.001), and perfusion defects (31.7% vs. 3.5%, p < 0.001) on CEUS (p ≤ 0.023). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) of SMI and CEUS were 0.853 and 0.841, respectively (p = 0.803). In 19 masses measuring < 10 mm, central vascularity on SMI was associated with malignancy (100% vs. 38.5%, p = 0.018). Considering all benign SMI parameters on the BI-RADS assessment, unnecessary biopsies could be avoided in 12 category 4A masses with improved AUCs (0.500 vs. 0.605, p < 0.001). US vascular parameters associated with malignancy showed higher MVD (p ≤ 0.016). MVD was higher in malignant masses than in benign masses, and malignant masses negative for estrogen receptor or positive for Ki67 had higher MVD (p < 0.05). Conclusion: US microflow assessment using SMI and CEUS is valuable in distinguishing malignant from benign solid breast masses, and US vascular parameters are associated with histologic MVD.

The current hierarchical model of galaxy formation predicts that galaxy halos contain merger relics in the form of long stellar streams. In order to find stellar substructures in galaxy, we focused our investigation on the stellar spatial density around globular clusters and on the quantitative properties of the evolved sequences in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). First, we investigated the spatial configuration of stars around five metal-poor globular clusters in halo region (M15, M30, M53, NGC 5053, and NGC 5466) and one metal-poor globular cluster in bulge region (NGC 6626). Our findings indicate that all of these globular clusters show strong evidence of extratidal features in the form of extended tidal tails around the clusters. The orientations of the extratidal features show the signatures of tidal tails tracing the clusters' orbits and the effects of dynamical interactions with the galaxy. These features were also confirmed by the radial surface density profiles and azimuthal number density profiles. Our results suggest that these six globular clusters are potentially associated with the satellite galaxies merged into the Milky Way. Second, we derived the morphological parameters of the red giant branch (RGB) from the near-infrared CMDs of 12 metal-poor globular clusters in the Galactic bulge. The photometric RGB shape indices such as colors at fixed magnitudes, magnitudes at fixed colors, and the RGB slope were measured for each cluster. The magnitudes of the RGB bump and tip were also estimated. The derived RGB parameters were used to examine the overall behavior of the RGB morphology as a function of cluster metallicity. The behavior of the RGB shape parameters was also compared with the previous observational calibration relation and theoretical predictions of the Yonsei-Yale isochrones. Our results of studies for stellar spatial distribution around globular clusters and the morphological properties of RGB stars in globular clusters could add further observational evidence of merging scenario of galaxy formation.

가상공간 시현이나 GIS 및 이동통신과 같은 다양한 응용분야에 정확한 3차원 도시모델은 기본적인 자료가 되고 있다. 수동적인 3차원 자료 구축은 시간과 경비측면에서 비효율적이기 때문에 LIDAR는 DTM을 취득하는데 새로운 기술로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 필터링을 이용하여 지면과 비지면점을 추출하기 위한 방법을 제시하였고, 지면점으로부터 DU을 생성하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 그 동안 많은 필터기법들이 개발되어 왔지만 필터링의 자료처리특성을 분석하기 위해 높이차에 근거한 필터, 경사에 근거한 필터, 모폴로지에 근거한 필터 등 3가지 필터를 선택하고, 고층아파트지역과 저층주거지역에 적용하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 그 결과, LIDAR 자료로부터 취득된 DTM의 정확도는 고층아파트지역에서 0.16m, 저층아파트지 역에서 0.59m로 나타났으며, 도시지역의 정밀DTM 생성에 있어서 LIDAR자료의 활용이 기대된다

Detailed investigations on both submarine and subaerial volcaniclastic deposits around Dokdo were carried out to identify geomorphologic characteristics, stratigraphy, and associated depositional processes of Dokdo caldera. Dokdo volcano has a gently sloping summit (about 11km in diameter) and relatively steep slope (basal diameter is about 20-25 km) rising above sea level at about 2,270m. We found ragged, elliptical-form of Dokdo caldera with a diameter of about 2km estimated by Chirp (3-11 kHz) sub-bottom profile data and side scan sonar data for the central summit area of Dokdo volcano. We interpreted that the volcaniclastic deposits of Dokdo unconformably consist of the Seodo (west islet) and the Dongdo(east islet) formations based on internal structure, constituent mineral composition, and bedding morphology. The Seodo Formation mainly consisted of massive or inversely graded trachytic breccias (Unit S-I), overlain by fine-grained tuff (Unit S-II), which is probably supplied by mass-wasting processes resulting from Dokdo caldera collapse. The Dongdo Formation consists of alternated units of stratified lapilli tuff and inversely graded basaltic breccia (Unit D-I, Unit D-III, and Unit D-V), and massive to undulatory-bedded basaltic tuff breccias (Unit D-II and Unit D-IV) formed by a repetitive pyroclastic surge and reworking processes. Although, two islets of Dokdo are geographically near each other, they have different formations reflecting their different depositional processes and eruptive stages.

Landing phase is one of the crucial and most important phases during robotic aerospace explorations. It concerns the impact of the landing module of a spacecraft on a celestial body. Risks and uncertainties of landing are mainly due to the morphology of the surface, the possible presence of rocks and other obstacles or subsidence. The present work quotes results of a computational analysis direct to investigate the stability during the landing phase of a lander on Phobos, a Mars Moon. The present study makes use of available software tools for the simulation analyses and results processing. Due to the nature of the system under consideration (i.e., large displacements and interaction between several systems), multibody simulations were performed to analyze the lander's behavior after the impact with the celestial body. The landing scenario was chosen as a result of a DOE (Design of Experiments) analysis in terms of lander velocity and position, or ground slope. In order to verify the reliability of the present multibody methodology for this particular aerospace issue, two different software tools were employed in order to emphasize two different ways to simulate the crash-box, a particular component of the system used to cushion the impact. The results show the most important frames of the simulations so as to provide a general idea about how lander behaves in its descent and some trends of the main characteristics of the system. In conclusion, the success of the approach is demonstrated by highlighting that the results (crash-box shortening trend and lander's kinetic energy) are comparable between the two tools and that the stability is ensured.

Electrophysiological phenomena of pyramidal cells in the CA1 area of the dorsal hippocampus were recorded from and filled with neurobiotin in anesthetized rats. The electropharmacological properties of membrane as well as the cellular-synaptic generation of rhythmic slow activity (theta) were examined. The intracellular response characteristics of these pyramidal cells were distinctly different from responses of interneurons. Pyramidal cells had a high resting membrane potential, a low input resistance, and a large amplitude action potential. A afterhyperpolarization was followed a single action potential. Most of pyramidal cells did not display a spontaneous firing. Pyramidal cells displayed weak inward rectification and anodal break excitation. The slope of the frequency-current relation was 53.4 Hz/nA for the first interspike interval and 15.9 Hz/nA for the last intervals, suggesting the presence of spike frequency adaptation. Neurobiotin-filled neurons showed pyramidal morphology. Cells were generally bipolar dendritc processes ramifying in stratum lacunosum-moleculare, radiatum, and oriens. Commissural stimulation discharged pyramidal cells, followed by excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs and IPSPs). The frequency of theta-related membrane potential oscillation was voltage-independent in pyramidal neurons. At strong depolarization levels (less than 30 mV) pyramidal cells emitted sodium spike oscillation, phase-locked to theta. The observations provide direct evidence that theta-related rhythmic hyperpolarization of principal cells is brought by the rhythmically discharging interneurons. Furthermore, the findings in which interneurons were also paced by rhythmic inhibitory postsynaptic potentials during theta suggest that they were periodically hyperpolarized by their GABAergic septal afferents.

We present the ultraviolet (UV) color-color relation of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the nearby universe (0.05 < z < 0.12) to investigate the properties of hot stellar populations responsible for the UV excess (UVX). The initial sample of ETGs is selected by the spectroscopic redshift and the morphology parameter from the SDSS DR 7, and then cross-matched with the GALEX far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) GR6 data. The cross-matched ETG sample is further classified by their emission line characteristics in the optical spectra into quiescent, star-forming, and active galactic nucleus categories. Contaminations from early-type spiral galaxies, mergers, and morphologically disturbed galaxies are removed by visual inspection. By drawing the FUV-NUV (as a measure of UV spectral shape) versus FUV-r (as a measure of UVX strength) diagram for the final sample of -3700 quiescent ETGs, we find that the "old and dead" ETGs consist of a well-defined sequence in UV colors, the "UV red sequence," so that the stronger UVX galaxies should have a harder UV spectral shape systematically. However, the observed UV spectral slope is too steep to be reproduced by the canonical stellar population models in which the UV flux is mainly controlled by age or metallicity parameters. Moreover, 2 mag of color spreads both in FUV-NUV and FUV-r appear to be ubiquitous among any subsets in distance or luminosity. This implies that the UVX in ETGs could be driven by yet another parameter which might be even more influential than age or metallicity.
