The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport carried out a pilot project for data maintenance in 2011 to ensure the accuracy of cadastral records nationwide, and now trying to reduce the errors such as omission of the cadastral book, inconsistency of land category between cadastral account book and cadastral map, etc. and the boundary between the map boundary, scale, and administrative areas. In this study, we looked at the currents status and problems of the cadastral research, improving the cadastral map, which has been promoted by the government and the cadastral office. In order to revitalize the cadastral map data maintenance project, it is necessary to re-establish the plan for each step for challenging the limitation of current data maintenance, and the master plan for promotion system, and develop manuals to maintain consistency and secure accuracy of cadastral map maintenance, such as "Coverage and Maintenance Guidelines for Cadastral Maps", and secure the national budget for error correction in cadastral map led by government.

Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a powerful technique to control the morphology and microstructure of thin film prepared by physical vapor deposition. Chromium (Cr) thin films were deposited on a polymer substrate by a sputtering technique using GLAD. The change in thickness and Vickers microhardness for the samples was observed with a change in the glancing angle. The adhesion properties of the critical load (Lc) by a scratch tester for the samples were also measured with varying the glancing angle. The critical load, thickness and Vickers microhardness for the samples decreased with an increase in the glancing angle. However, the thickness of the Cr thin film prepared at a $90^{\circ}$ glancing angle showed a relatively large value of 50 % compared to that of the sample prepared at $0^{\circ}$. The results of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the effect of GLAD on the microstructure of samples prepared by sputter technique was not as remarkable as the samples prepared by evaporation technique. The relatively small change in thickness and microstructure of the Cr thin film is due to the superior step-coverage properties of the sputter technique.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have greatly contributed to the identification of common variants responsible for numerous complex traits. There are, however, unavoidable limitations in detecting causal and/or rare variants for traits in this approach, which depends on an LD-based tagging SNP microarray chip. In an effort to detect potential casual and/or rare variants for complex traits, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and triglycerides (TGs), we conducted a targeted resequencing of loci identified by the Korea Association REsource (KARE) GWAS. The target regions for resequencing comprised whole exons, exon-intron boundaries, and regulatory regions of genes that appeared within 1 Mb of the GWA signal boundary. From 124 individuals selected in population-based cohorts, a total of 0.7 Mb target regions were captured by the NimbleGen sequence capture 385K array. Subsequent sequencing, carried out by the Roche 454 Genome Sequencer FLX, generated about 110,000 sequence reads per individual. Mapping of sequence reads to the human reference genome was performed using the SSAHA2 program. An average of 62.2% of total reads was mapped to targets with an average 22X-fold coverage. A total of 5,983 SNPs (average 846 SNPs per individual) were called and annotated by GATK software, with 96.5% accuracy that was estimated by comparison with Affymetrix 5.0 genotyped data in identical individuals. About 51% of total SNPs were singletons that can be considered possible rare variants in the population. Among SNPs that appeared in exons, which occupies about 20% of total SNPs, 304 nonsynonymous singletons were tested with Polyphen to predict the protein damage caused by mutation. In total, we were able to detect 9 and 6 potentially functional rare SNPs for T2D and triglycerides, respectively, evoking a further step of replication genotyping in independent populations to prove their bona fide relevance to traits.

Copper thin films have been prepared by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology on polyimide and TiN substrates. The Cu-MOCVD technology has advantages of the high deposition rate and the good step coverage compared with the conventional physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology in several industrial applications. The Cu films have been deposited with varying the experimental conditions of substrate temperatures and copper source vapor pressures. The films were annealed in a vacuum condition after the deposition, and the annealing effect on the electrical properties of the films was measured. The crystallinity and the microstructures of the films were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrical resistivity was measured by 4-point probe. In the case of the Cu deposition on TiN substrate, the best electrical property of the films was measured for the samples prepared at 18$0^{\circ}C$. Very high deposition rate of the Cu film up to 250 nm/min was obtained on the polyimide substrate when the mixture of liquid and vapour precursor was used.

Yttrium oxide (Y2O3)는 band gap이 5.5 eV 정도로 상대적으로 넓고, 굴절상수가 1.8, 유전율이 10~15, Silicon 과의 격자 불일치가 작은 특성을 가지고 있다. 또한 녹는점이 높아 열적으로 안정하기 때문에 전자소자 및 광학소자에 다양하게 응용되는 물질이다. Y2O3 박막은 다양한 방법으로 증착할 수 있는데, 그 방법에는 e-beam evaporation, laser ablation, sputtering, thermal oxidation, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, and atomic layer deposition (ALD) 등이 있다. ALD는 기판 표면에 흡착된 원자들의 자기 제한적 반응에 의하여 박막이 증착되기 때문에 박막 두께조절이 용이하고 step coverage와 uniformity 측면에서 큰 장점이 있다. 이전에는 Y(thd)3 and Y(CH3Cp)3 와 같은 금속 전구체를 이용하여 ALD를 진행하여, 증착 속도가 낮고 defect이 많아 non-stoichiometric한 조성의 박막이 증착되는 문제점이 있었다. 이번 연구에서는, (iPrCp)2Y(iPr-amd)와 탈이온수를 사용하여 Y2O3 박막을 증착하였다. Y2O3 박막 증착에 사용한 Y 전구체는 상온에서 액체이고 $192^{\circ}C$ 에서 1 Torr의 높은 증기압을 갖는다. Y2O3 박막 증착을 위하여 Y 전구체는 $150^{\circ}C$ 로 가열하여 N2 gas를 이용하여 bubbling 방식으로 공정 챔버 내로 공급하였다. Y2O3 박막의 ALD window는 $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ 였으며, Y 전구체의 공급시간이 5초에 다다르자 더 이상 증착 두께가 증가하지 않는 자기 제한적 반응을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 증착된 Y2O3 박막의 특성 분석을 위해 Atomic force microscopy (AFM)과 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) 를 진행하였다. 박막의 Surface morphology 는 매끄럽고 uniform 하였으며, 특히 고체 금속 전구체를 사용했을 때와 비교하여 수산화물이 거의 없는 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 조성 분석을 통해 증착된 Y2O3 박막이 stoichiometric하다는 것을 알수 있었다. 또한 metal-insulator-metal (MIM) 구조 (Ru/Y2O3/Ru) 의 resistor 소자를 형성하여 저항 스위칭 특성을 확인하였다.

In spatial information processing, particularly in non-renewable resource exploration, the spatial data sets, including remote sensing, geophysical and geochemical data, have to be geocoded onto a reference map and integrated for the final analysis and interpretation. Application of a computer based GIS(Geographical Information System of Geological Information System) at some point of the spatial data integration/fusion processing is now a logical and essential step. It should, however, be pointed out that the basic concepts of the GIS based spatial data fusion were developed with insufficient mathematical understanding of spatial characteristics or quantitative modeling framwork of the data. Furthermore many remote sensing and geological data sets, available for many exploration projects, are spatially incomplete in coverage and interduce spatially uneven information distribution. In addition, spectral information of many spatial data sets is often imprecise due to digital rescaling. Direct applications of GIS systems to spatial data fusion can therefore result in seriously erroneous final results. To resolve this problem, some of the important mathematical information representation techniques are briefly reviewed and discussed in this paper with condideration of spatial and spectral characteristics of the common remote sensing and exploration data. They include the basic probabilistic approach, the evidential belief function approach (Dempster-Shafer method) and the fuzzy logic approach. Even though the basic concepts of these three approaches are different, proper application of the techniques and careful interpretation of the final results are expected to yield acceptable conclusions in cach case. Actual tests with real data (Moon, 1990a; An etal., 1991, 1992, 1993) have shown that implementation and application of the methods discussed in this paper consistently provide more accurate final results than most direct applications of GIS techniques.

Low resistance Ni thin films for using NiSi formation and metallization by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method have been studied. ALD temperature window is formed between $200^{\circ}C\;and\;250^{\circ}C$ with deposition rate of $1.25{\AA}$/cycle. The minimum resistance of deposited Ni films shows $4.333\;{\Omega}/\square$ on the $SiO_2/Si$ substrate by $H_2$ direct purging process. The reason of showing the low resistance is believed to be due to format ion of the $Ni_3C$ phase by residual carbon in Bis-Ni The deposited film exhibits excellent step coverage in the trench having 1(100 nm) : 16 (1.6 um) aspect ratio.

Objectives: The current study presents a new conceptual framework for physician-induced demand that comprises several influential components and their interactions. Methods: This framework was developed on the basis of the conceptual model proposed by Labelle. To identify the components that influenced induced demand and their interactions, a scoping review was conducted (from January 1980 to January 2017). Additionally, an expert panel was formed to formulate and expand the framework. Results: The developed framework comprises 2 main sets of components. First, the supply side includes 9 components: physicians' incentive for pecuniary profit or meeting their target income, physicians' current income, the physician/population ratio, service price (tariff), payment method, consultation time, type of employment of physicians, observable characteristics of the physician, and type and size of the hospital. Second, the demand side includes 3 components: patients' observable characteristics, patients' non-clinical characteristics, and insurance coverage. Conclusions: A conceptual framework that can clearly describe interactions between the components that influence induced demand is a critical step in providing a scientific basis for understanding physicians' behavior, particularly in the field of health economics.

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism affecting genome structure, gene regulation, and the silencing of transposable elements. Cell- and tissue-specific methylation patterns are critical for differentiation and development in eukaryotes. Dynamic spatiotemporal methylation data in these cells or tissues is, therefore, of great interest. However, the construction of bisulfite sequencing libraries can be challenging if the starting material is limited or the genome size is small, such as in Arabidopsis. Here, we describe detailed methods for the purification of Arabidopsis embryos at all stages, and the construction of comprehensive bisulfite libraries from small quantities of input. We constructed bisulfite libraries by releasing embryos from intact seeds, using a different approach for each developmental stage, and manually picking single-embryo with microcapillaries. From these libraries, reliable Arabidopsis methylome data were collected allowing, on average, 11-fold coverage of the genome using as few as five globular, heart, and torpedo embryos as raw input material without the need for DNA purification step. On the other hand, purified DNA from as few as eight bending torpedo embryos or a single mature embryo is sufficient for library construction when RNase A is treated before DNA extraction. This method can be broadly applied to cells from different tissues or cells from other model organisms. Methylome construction can be achieved using a minimal amount of input material using our method; thereby, it has the potential to increase our understanding of dynamic spatiotemporal methylation patterns in model organisms.

This study implemented a comparative analysis of the international mathematics curriculum on time learning. It aimed the improvement of challenges students facing when they learn time. As a preliminary step, I reviewed the previous literature on teaching and learning of time, and based on this, I drew five issues that require to be considered for better time learning. The coverage of time contents and the learning periods of respective time contents were compared across the mathematics curriculum of Korea, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Finland. The textbook cases of those countries were analyzed with a special focus on the five issues. The results showed that the Korean curriculum assigned time learning contents compressively during short periods compared to other countries. responded to the issues on teaching and learning of time, several improvement ideas were deduced from textbook cases of other countries. Implications for the curriculum reform were discussed underlying the results.
