The current distribution structure in Korea film industry is in the multiplex chain. As a result, most small or medium-sized theaters have been excluded from the market, and all the multiplex chain have gradually been formed into the vertical integration structure. The strike by multiplex theaters in Chuncheon who did not screen for one month led to the problem of the vertical integration, which resulted in many effects. Particularly, it caused considerable effect on the cultural desire and instigated movie-goers to turn to illegal content. This study surveys the process in which Korean multiplex theaters in vertical integration structure took over the Korean film market, and consequently, small theaters collapsed, and the theaters in vertical integration structure kick out small theaters in horizontal integration structure, and conducts a survey on the effect of the one-month strike by Chuncheon CGV from September 27 to October 30, 2008 in Chuncheon where said processes had completed so as to determine the effect of and impact of the problem of the vertical integration, monopoly structure. When major consumers of the film industry, i.e., people in their 20s, see their access to newly released films limited due to closing of multiplex theaters, they feel the impulse to access illegal contents. If they miss viewing the newly released films, they prefer to view illegal contents or films on recording media rather than visiting theaters showing those films. They are also influenced by timing of film release. Specifically, methods of illegal access to newly released films, permanent accessibility to them via recording media, and timing of film release influence their viewing patterns.

The diffusion cell method is the main technique employed for the in vitro diffusion test of transdermal drug delivery preparations. Most existing transdermal diffusion devices use a water bath heating structure and direct current motor magnetic stirrer. However, these devices are confronted with problems, such as large volume, incompatible vertical and horizontal diffusion cells, few diffusion cell sets, and poor reliability. To overcome these deficiencies, the system adopts a dry heating method and uses a rotating magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic stirrer to drive the magnetic stirrer. Accordingly, the resulting device is characterized by a simple structure and small volume, convenient operation, compatible vertical and horizontal diffusion cells, and numerous diffusion cell sets. The reliability and practicability of the system is verified by the in vitro percutaneous permeability test of the bisoprolol patch.

In order to estimate the characteristics of water movements around artificial upwelling structure, current measurements were carried out along lines E-W and S-N on May 4th(neap tide} and May 30th(spring tide), 2006. In the study area, southeastward flow was dominant during the field observations, and the pattern of water movement in the upper layer above 30m depth was different from that in the lower layer below 30m depth Vertical flow(w-component} around the artificial structure area and western area was shown to be upward flow, but downward flow occurred in the southern, northern and eastern parts at the neap tide. At the spring tide, the ebb current along E-W line showed upwelling flow in the eastern part and western area and showed upwelling flow near the artificial structure area and downwelling flow far away that one. At the spring tide, upward flow was dominant along S-N line during the flood current Volume transport by upward flow was higher than that by downward flow. Volume transport by upward flow during ebb of neap tide was greater than during flood current of neap tide, but was reverse at the spring tide.

In this paper, Trench emitter electrode IGBT structure is proposed and studied numerically using the device simulator, MEDICI. The breakdown voltage, on-state voltage drop, latch up current density and turn-off time of the proposed structure are compared with those of the conventional trench gate IGBT(TIGBT) structures. Enhancement of the breakdown voltage by 19 % is obtained in the proposed structure due to dispersion of electric field at the edge of the bottom trench gate by trench emitter electrode. In addition, the on-state voltage drop and the latch up current density are improved by 25 %, 16 % respectively. However increase of turn-off time in proposed structures are negligible.

In semi-enclosed shallow sea areas typified by the Yellow sea and the East China Sea, currents and sea surface variations are predominantly tidal. During the recent years two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic model of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea has been developed, based on the vertically-integrated equations of motion and continuity, capable of reproducing amplitudes and phases of the principal components of tides to satisfiable accuracy. As a subsequent development a three-dimensional hydrodynamical nymerical model covering the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea has been formulated to investigate the vertical distribution of horizontal tidal current and the response of the continented to investigate the vertical distribution of horizontal tidal current and the response of the continental shelf sea to steady uniform wind stress field imposed over the surface. Features of the M2 tidal current and the wind-induced three-dimensional current structure determined from the computation have been examined and discussed.

For the first time, the new dual trench gate Emitter Switched Thyristor is proposed for eliminating snap-back effect which leads to a lot of serious problems of device applications. Also, the parasitic thyristor that is inherent in the conventional EST is completely eliminated in the proposed EST structure, allowing higher maximum controllable current densities for ESTs. Moreover, the new dual trench gate allows homogenous current distribution throughout device and preserves the unique feature of the gate controlled current saturation of the thyristor current. The conventional EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 2.73V and $354/{\S}^2$, respectively. But the proposed EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 0.93V and $58A/{\S}^2$, respectively. Saturation current density of the proposed EST at anode voltage 6.11V is $3797A/{\S}^2$. The characteristics of 700V forward blocking of the proposed EST obtained from two dimensional numerical simulations (MEDICI) is described and compared with that of the conventional EST.

In comparison with edge-emitting lasers(EELs), predicting the output power and slope efficiency of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers(VCSELs) is very difficult due to the absorption loss in DBR layers. However, by using transfer matrix method(TMM), we've made possible to calculate such parameters of multi-layer structures like VCSELs. In this paper, we've calculated the threshold gain, threshold current and slope efficiency through the methodology based on TMM. Also TMM is the way of customizing the VCSEL structure for the desired threshold current and slope efficiency by changing the number of DBR mirror layers.

Implemented at the Geochang Observatory in South Korea, our slope detection and ranging (SLO-DAR) system features a 508 mm Cassegrain telescope (f /7.8), incorporating two Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensors (WFS) for precise measurements of atmospheric phase distortions, particularly from nearby binary or double stars, utilizing an 8 × 8 grid of sampling points. With an ability to reconstruct eight-layer vertical atmospheric profiles, the system quantifies the refractive index structure function (C_n²) through the crossed-beam method. Adaptable in vertical profiling altitude, ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers, contingent on the separation angle of binary stars, the system operates in both wide (2.5 to 12.5 arcminute separation angle) and narrow modes (11 to 15 arcsecond separation angle), covering altitudes from 122.3 to 611.5 meters and 6.1 to 8.3 kilometers, respectively. Initial measurements at the Geochang Observatory indicated C_n² values up to 181.7 meters with a Fried parameter (r₀) of 8.4 centimeters in wide mode and up to 7.8 kilometers with an r₀ of 8.0 centimeters in narrow mode, suggesting similar seeing conditions to the Bohyun Observatory and aligning with a comparable 2014-2015 seeing profiling campaign in South Korea.

The occurrence of progressive collapse induced by the removal of the vertical load-bearing element in the structure, because of fire or earthquake, has been a significant challenge between structural engineers. Progressive collapse is defined as the complete failure or failure of a part of the structure, initiating with a local rupture in a part of the building and can threaten the stability of the structure. In the current study, the behavior of the structures equipped with a cylindrical friction damper, when the vertical load-bearing elements are eliminated, is considered in two cases: 1-The load-bearing element is removed under the gravity load, and 2-The load-bearing element is removed due to the earthquake lateral forces. In order to obtain a generalized result in the seismic case, 22 pair motions presented in FEMA p 695 are applied to the structures. The study has been conducted using the vertical push down analysis for the case (1), and the nonlinear time-history analysis for the second case using OpenSEES software for 5,10, and 15-story steel frames. Results indicate that, in the first case, the load coefficient, and accordingly the strength of the structure equipped with cylindrical friction dampers are increased considerably. Furthermore, the results from the second case demonstrate that the displacements, and consequently the forces imposed to the structure in the buildings equipped with the cylindrical friction damper substantially was reduced. An optimum slip load is defined in the friction dampers, which permits the damper to start its frictional damping from this threshold load. Therefore, the optimum slip load of the damper is calculated and discussed for both cases.
