We made attempts to improve photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under visible light exposure by combining two additional treatments. N-doping of $TiO_2$ by ammonia gas treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ increased absorbance of visible light. By coating thin film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and subsequent vacuum-annealing at $800^{\circ}C$, $TiO_2$, became more hydrophilic, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$. Four types of $TiO_2$ samples were prepared, bare-$TiO_2$, hydrophilic-modified $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/TiO_2$), N-doped $TiO_2$ ($N/TiO_2$) and hydrophilic-modified and N-doped $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/N/TiO_2$). Adsorption capability was evaluated under dark condition and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ was evaluated by photodegradation of MB under blue LED (400 nm< ${\lambda}$) irradiation. N-doping on $TiO_2$ was characterized using XPS and hydrophilic modification of $TiO_2$ surface was analyzed by FT-IR spectrometer. It was found that N-doping and hydrophilic modification both had positive effect on enhancing adsorption capability and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ at the same time. Particularly, N-doping enhanced visible light absorption of $TiO_2$, whereas hydrophilic surface modification increased MB adsorption capacity. By combining these two strategies, photocatalytic acitivity under visible light irradiation became the sum of individual effects of N-doping and hydrophilic modification.

Attention on daylighting should be focused not so much on a simple maximization of the natural light available in a space, as on improving the quality of lighting by ensuring as even but intense distribution of illumination in inner areas. An architectural means of optimal daylight distribution is by using so-called light shelf systems, horizontal shading and redirecting devices. The overall performance of the daylighting system can be improved by the incorporation with electric lighting control devices. This paper aims to exemplify the benefit of daylighting in term of economic consideration. In such a case a reasonable technique to compare system costs is by life-cycle costing. Stated simply, a life-cycle cost represents the total cost of a system over its entire life cycle, that is, the sum of first cost and all future costs. Four different electric lighting system designs are proposed and a lighting control system that is continuously operating according to the level of daylight in the space has been adapted. The result shows clearly that although denser layout of lighting fixtures might be more effective to interface to the level of daylight ceaselessly changeable, its economic benefit may not meet the expected criterion the reason of increased initial investment and maintenance cost for the fixtures and control devices.

Data Envelopment Analysis model is a linear programming based technique for measuring the relative performance of organizational units where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparison difficult. A common measure for relative efficiency is weighted sum of outputs divided by weighted sum of inputs. DEA model allows each unit to adopt a set of weight that shows it in the most favorable light in comparison to the other unit. In this paper, we present the mathematical background and characteristics of DEA model, and give a short case study where we apply the DEA model to evaluate the relative efficiencies of 51 global electricity companies. The technical efficiency and scale efficiency are also to be investigated. Generating capacity and the number of employees are used for input data, and revenue, net profit and electricity sales are used for output data. We find that the companies with 100% relative efficiency are only 9 among 51 electricity companies. And the technical and scale efficiency of KEPCO is 98.7% and 78.89%, respectively. This means that the inefficiency of KEPCO is caused by the scale inefficiency. The analysis shows that the employees should be decreased by 15% at minimum to get the 100% efficiency. The result suggests that KEPCO needs the structural reform to improve the efficiency.

The purpose of this study was the evaluation of spectral transmission of the commercial three shade guides and the relationship of hue, value, and chroma according to the transmission rate. The spectral transmittance of three shade guides - Vita Lumin Shade Guide, Vintage and Unibond Shade Guide, and Vitapan 3D-Master Shade Guide - were measured. For direct transmission measurements, each shade tabs were placed at the entrance port of the 1mm diameter intergrating sphere. The intensity of the light source passing through the shade tabs to the right angle was continuously recorded for wavelength from 400 to 700 nm. A transmission spectrum and digital data were obtained for each measurement and they were evaluated using Microcal Origin program. The obtained results of this study were as follows : 1. In Vita Lumin Shade Guide, sum of the transmission rate of the shade tabs at the wavelength 400-700nm was decreased in agreement with the arrangement order at each A, B, C, D group, except D4 shade tab. However, there were no relationships between the transmission rate of the shade tabs and the value-oriented. 2. In Vintage and Unibond Shade Guide, sum of the total transmission rate of the shade tabs was decreased in agreement with the arrangement order at each A, B, C, B group. When all shade tabs arranged in value-oriented, transmission rate was accord with the order, except D4 shade tab. 3. When shade tabs of the Vitapan 3D-Master Shade Guide have the same value and hue, sum of their total transmission rate decreased in accordance with the chroma-oriented. When the shade tabs have the same value and chroma, there were no differences from the order of the transmission rate to the various hue type. However, in the 'R' tabs of reddish hue type, the transmission rate increased at the long wavelength range area. In conclusion, we need the quantitative analyzing instruments in transmission determination. Vitapan 3D-Master Shade Guide covers the tooth color space taking into account the parameters of the systematic value, chroma, hue oriented, and the transmission rate relatively accorded with that sequence.

근접촉쌍성 XZ CMi의 BV 측광관측을 수행하여 새로운 광도곡선과 총 7개의 극심시각을 획득하였다. 관측한 극심시각과 지금까지 발표된 극심시각을 수집하여 XZ CMi의 궤도 공전주기를 분석한 결과, 이 쌍성계의 공전주기가 지난 70년간 영년 주기감소와 더불어 규칙적으로 변화함을 확인하였다. 규칙적인 변화를 제3천체에 의한 광시간 효과로 가정하여 0.0056일의 진폭, 약 29년의 주기, 그리고 0.71의 궤도이심율의 광시간 궤도를 결정하였다. 관측된 영년 주기감소($-5.26{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)를 자기제동 항성풍의 각운동량 손실에 의한 주기감소($-8.20{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)와 질량이 작은 반성에서 주성으로 질량 이동에 의한 주기 증가($2.94{\times}10^{-11}d/P$)가 동시에 일어나는 것으로 해석하였다. 이런 관점에서 AML에 의한 주기감소율은 질량 이동에 의한 공전주기 증가율보다 그 크기가 약 3배 정도 크며, 반성에서 년간 $3.21{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}$의 질량이 주성으로 이동된다. 관측된 BV 광도곡선을 최근의 Wilson & Devinney 쌍성코드로 주성의 온도를 달리하는 두가지 모형(8200K와 7000K)을 상정하여 분석하였다. 두가지 모형 해 모두 XZ CMi가 반성이 로쉬 로브를 채웠으나, 주성은 아직 로쉬 로브를 채우지 않은 근접촉 쌍성임과 약 15-17%의 제3광도가 이 계에 있음을 보여준다. 그러나, 제3광도를 내는 천체가 주기연구에서 제안한 제3천체와 동일 천체가 아닌 것은 확실하다. 두 모형의 $\sum(O-C)^2$의 차이는 너무 미미하여, 현 시점에서 어느 해가 더 관측치를 잘 맞추는 지를 가릴 수는 없었다. 그간 연구자간에 불일치하였던 질량비의 다양성 문제는 아직도 풀리지 않는 숙제로 남아있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 분광시선속도곡선과 스펙트럼의 관측과 더불어 정밀 측광관측이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of light cured glass ionomer restorative materials in class 5 cavities. In this in vitro study, class 5 cavities were prepared on buccal and lingual surfaces of forty extracted human premolars and molars on cementum margin. These specimen were randomly divided into four groups of 10 each : Group 1 was Fugi II (control), Group 2 was Fugi II LC, Group 3 was Vitremer, and Group 4 was Dyract. Group 2 was also divided once more into 2 groups of 5 each : Group 2-1 was pretreated with dentin conditioner and Group 2-2 was not. All teeth were restored according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 500 thermocycling between $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$, the 40 teeth were placed in 2 % Methylene blue dye for 24hr, then rinsed with tab water. The specimen were embedded in clear resin, then sectioned buccolingually through the center of restoration with a low speed diamond saw. The dye penetration on each of the specimen were then observed with a stereomicroscope at 20. The results of the study were statistically analyzed using the Student-Newman-Keuls Methods and the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test. Tooth restorative interfaces were evaluated using SEM analysis. Results were as follows, 1. Compared to conventional glass ionomer restoratioqs, all light cured glass ionomer restorations were fairly resistant to microleakage (P<0.05). 2. Groups 3 (Vitremer) and Group 4 (Dyract) were found to be the most resistant, Group 2 (Fugi II LC) fairly resistant, and Group 1 (Fugi II) least resistant to microleakage(P<0.05). 3. No significant differences were found between Group 2-1 and Group 2-2 (P>0.08). 4. With the backscattered SEM analysis, the degrees to which tight bonding occurred were also observed in all the groups except for Group 1. Group 4 showed the highest degree of tight bonding than any other materials used in this study.

본 논문에서는 4색 잉크에서 6색 잉크로 분리하기 위해 중간 계조 영역에서 낟알 무늬 특성을 감소하기 위한 객관적인 낟알 무늬 값을 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 낟알 무늬 특성은 light cyan과 cyan, 그리고 light magenta와 magenta가 섞여서 출력되는 중간계조 영역에서 cyan 및 magenta 패턴이 상대적으로 눈에 띄게 되는 현상을 의미한다. 이러한 출력 영상의 낟알 무늬 특성을 향상시키기 위해, 낟알 무늬 특성을 수치적인 값으로 계산하고 이를 6색 분리 과정에 적용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 낟알 무늬 특성은 인간 시각의 공간 칼라 민감도를 반영하는 S-CIELAB 공간 좌표계를 사용하여, 밝기와 색도의 표준편차를 구하고 정규화 과정을 통해서 결정한다. 객관적인 낟알 무늬 특성을 중간 계조 영역의 색 분리 과정에 적용함으로써, 좀 더 부드럽고 낟알 무늬가 줄어드는 향상된 결과가 나타났다.

가시광 통신은 LED의 빠른 점멸을 통해 데이터를 보내는 통신 방법이며, 조명이 영향을 미치는 범위가 넓어 도청에 취약하다. IEEE 표준 802.15.7에서는 가시광 통신을 위해 OOK(On-Off Keying), VPPM(Variable Pulse Position Modulation), CSK(Color Shift Keying)를 모듈레이션을 정의한다. 이 논문에서는 VPPM을 사용한 통신에서 보안을 위한 물리계층 암호화를 제안한다. VPPM은 4B6B를 사용하여 메시지를 인코딩하는데 16개의 출력을 6-bit를 사용해 표현한다. 제안하는 인코딩은 4B6B의 생성조건을 위배하지 않으며 복잡도를 높이기 위해 20개의 출력으로 확장한다. 그리고 확장된 4B6B 테이블의 각 출력을 vigenère cipher를 이용하여 암호화한다. 도청자가 암호화된 각 6-bit 데이터를 복호화할 확률은 $\frac{1}{20}$ 이다. 따라서 키의 개수가 n일 때 도청자는 메시지를 복호화하기 위해 최대 $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}20^k$ 만큼 전수조사해야 한다. PHY II의 OOK와 PHYIII의 CSK에서도 입력과 출력을 관리하는 테이블을 사용하기 때문에 제안하는 방식을 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 OOK와 CSK방식에서도 성능 저하 없이 사용할 수 있는 보안 인코딩에 대해 논의한다.

Connecting two or more sub-cells is a simple and effective way of improving power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells, and the theoretical efficiency of this tandem cell is known to reach 85~88% of the sum of the sub-cell's efficiencies. There are two ways of connecting sub-cells in the tandem structure, i.e. parallel and series connection. The parallel connection can increase the short circuit current (Jsc) and the series connection can increase the open circuit voltage (Voc). Although various tandem structures have been studied, the full use of incident light and optimization of cell efficiency is still limited. In this work, we designed series tandem solar cells consisting of lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots/zinc oxide-based QDSC and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)/C60-based small molecule OSCs. It is expected that the loss of the incident light is minimized because the absorption range of the PbS quantum dots and ZnPc is significantly different, and the Voc increases according to the Kirchhoff's law.

The management of energy resources for efficient utilization of the energy resources while reducing the system costs is a critical technical issue. Among many kinds of the energy resource management, the energy reduction for indoor lighting systems is getting much concern as a large portion of energy consumption has been made for indoor lightings. In this paper, an energy-efficient lighting control scheme for indoor lighting systems in order to reduce the energy consumption by controlling the luminous flux and the lighting direction under the illuminance constraints is proposed. With the use of the user location information for the luminaire which is closely located to the user, the proposed scheme firstly sets the light direction of the luminaire to be aligned to the user location. Then, an optimization problem to find the luminous flux of each luminaire is formulated in order to minimize the luminous flux sum of the luminaires with the constraints for the dynamic ragne of the luminous flux, and the light flux for each luminaire is determined by the solution of the problem. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the luminaire control scheme with only the luminous flux control in the evaluation of satisfaction of the required illuminance level.
