A 440MHz wireless and passive surface acoustic wave (SAW) based chemical sensor was developed on a $41^{\circ}YX\;LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate for simultaneous measurement of $CO_2$ gas and relative humidity (RH) using a reflective delay line pattern as the sensor element. The reflective delay line is composed of an interdigital transducer (IDT) and several shorted grating reflectors. A Teflon AF 2400 and a hydrophilic $SiO_2$ layer were used as $CO_2$ and water vapor sensitive films. The coupling of mode (COM) modeling was conducted to determine optimal device parameters prior to fabrication. According to simulation results, the device was fabricated and then wirelessly measured using the network analyzer. The measured reflective coefficient $S_{11}$ in the time domain showed high signal/noise (S/N) ratio, small signal attenuation, and few spurious peaks. In the $CO_2$ and humidity testing, high sensitivity ($2^{\circ}/ppm$ for $CO_2$ detection and $7.45^{\circ}/%$RH for humidity sensing), good linearity and repeatability were observed in the $CO_2$ concentration ranges of $75{\sim}375ppm$ and humidity levels of $20{\sim}80%$RH. Temperature and humidity compensations were also investigated during the sensitivity evaluation process.

In this research, we have investigated the sensitivity of an extraordinary optical transmission sensor depending on the angle of incident light. Three types of light, including a collimated beam and focused beams (4× and 10×), were designed for the sensor system. To compare the sensitivity of the sensor, we measured transmittance spectra using deionized water (n=1.333) and refractive-index-matching oils (n=1.360 and 1.380). Those spectra were analyzed in terms of redshifting of the peak, so that we could determine the sensitivity. The sensitivity tended to increase when the collimated beam is used on the system, and we have concluded that the sensitivity could be affected by the incidence angle on an extraordinary optical transmission sensor.

Because of accumulation of operation time, the performance of main components(compressor, combustor, turbine, etc.) come to be deteriorated in gas-turbine engine. So, high reliability and minimun of expense are important problem for engine manufacturer and user in operation of gas-turbine engine. In this study, the diagnostic code of the engine performance using the thermodynamic sensitivity between the sensed parameters and the health parameters has been developed without an application of the commercial program. The single performance deterioration of the turbo-shaft engine has been estimated with this code.

In projection moire topography, the investigation of fringe sensitivity, which means the change rate of fringe order according to object height, is important and necessary to reduce the measurement error of the shape of an object. Using the fringe sensitivity, the determination of the absolute orders of moire fringes can be performed very easily and rapidly. The important parameters in the determination of absolute orders of fringes are the positions of light source and object, and the grating period in projection moire topography. Among these parameters, the fringe sensitivity due to the transverse motion of the light source and the longitudinal motion of the object according to grating periods are analyzed and compared. As a result, whereas the fringe sensitivity in the transverse-motion method increases linearly and gradually as the distance between light source and imaging sensor increases, the fringe sensitivity due to the longitudinal-motion method decreases dramatically as the distance between imaging lens and object increases. In these methods, the fringe sensitivity and its change increase as the grating period increases.

This paper describes resonant mode selection with which the relative permittivity can be measured exactly. To measure the relative permittivity, a circular cylindrical cavity filled with dielectric material is used. When the circular cylindrical cavity is filled with the dielectric material, the air gap occurs on account of machining error. Accurate relative permittivity can be obtained by using less sensitive mode in resonant frequency variation by the air gap. As a result, Average 0.009% resonant frequency variation in the vertical and the radial direction appears at $TE_{011}$ mode. It is interesting that the frequency variation by the air gap at $TE_{011}$ mode turns out to be the least sensitive.

Purpose : Obesity is a significant health problem with medical and psychological consequences for children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between body fat percent using bioelectrical impedance(BI) and other variable methods. Methods : We measured height, weight, body mass index(BMI) and body fat percent by skinfold thickness(ST) and BI in 1,035(496 male; 539 female) children from seven to 18 years of age. The correlation coefficients between BI and each of the other different methods were obtained. The sensitivity and specificity to predict obesity by these several methods were studied. Results : Fat percent estimated by BI analysis and BMI showed a strong correlation(r=0.749). Fat percent estimated by BI analysis and ST showed a very strong correlation(r=0.835). At the 95th percentile cut-off point for BI, ST showed a sensitivity of 57.7%, and a specificity of 97.6% for estimating body fat. At the 95th percentile cut-off point for BI, BMI showed a sensitivity of 84.9%, and a specificity of 99.3% for estimating body fat. Conclusion : The fat percent estimated by BI analysis correlated strongly with ST or BMI. BI analysis is an objective and accurate method for estimating body fat in childhood obesity.

The introduction and operation of compensation committee can affect managers' incentive-compensation system. In this context, The purpose of this paper examines whether managers' pay-performance sensitivity is affected by the quality of the compensation committee(compensation committee size, the proportion of outside directors on the compensation committee, the proportion of directors with 2 or more non additional board seats on the compensation committee) To test this hypothesis, we use a sample of 260 firm-year observations between 2001-2013. The results are as follows. Firstly, we find that no significant relevance between the compensation committee size and pay-performance sensitivity. But the proportion of outside directors on the compensation committee and the proportion of directors with 2 or more non additional board seats on the compensation committee is positively associated with both pay-earnings based performance sensitivity and pay-stock based performance sensitivity. Secondly, we find that the integration quality of the compensation committee is positively associated with both pay-earnings based performance sensitivity and pay-stock based performance sensitivity. Overall, our analysis suggests that compensation committee are important mechanism in the design of efficient incentive-compensation system.

Introduction: This study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of simultaneous determination of 3 tumor markers {serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC Ag) and neuron specific enolase(NSE)} in lung cancer patients. Method: In 113 patients with primary lung cancer(70 with squamous cell carcinoma, 30 with adenocarcinoma, 13 with small cell carcinoma) and 103 patients with benign lung diseases, serum CEA and NSE were measured by enzyme immunoassay, and SCC Ag was measured by microparticle enzyme immunoassay. Results: 1) The mean serum levels of 3 tumor markers were significantly higher in lung cancer groups than benign lung disease groups respectively(p=0.001). 2) In squamous cell carcinoma, the SCC Ag was elevated in 67%, in adenocarcinoma CEA was elevated in 77% and in small cell carcinoma NSE was elevated in 77%, but there were no significant differences according to the stage of each cancer cell types. 3) CEA was the most sensitive marker, but nonspecific to cancer types. SCC Ag was less sensitive than other markers, but more specific toward squamous cell carcinoma, and NSE was more specific to primary lung cancer. 4) As the number of positive tumor markers was increased, the relative possibility of lung cancer was also increased. If two markers were positive, it increased to 77%, and if three markers were positive it increased to 90%. Conclusion: The simultaneous measurement of serum CEA, SCC Ag and NSE would provide additional information for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

유역의 유출특성을 정확히 분석하기 위해서는 모형에 내재된 매개변수의 적정한 추정이 필수적이나 정확한 측정이 불가능한 변수들의 최적해를 결정하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구에서는 괴산댐유역을 적용대상 유역으로 PRMS 모형의 최적 매개변수를 평가하고, 추정난해 매개변수 9개에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행함으로서 각 매개변수에 따른 결과의 불확실성과 유출특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 향후 정도 높은 매개변수 추정에 활용하고자 하였다. 연구결과 지표면유출 관련인자는 지표면-지표하유출량을 변화시키므로 유출특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지표하유출 관련 매개변수들은 비선형계수가 작아져 유출이 선형적으로 고려될 때 수문곡선에 영향을 주는 것으로 판명되었다. 한편 지하수유출 관련 계수는 지하수유출이 발생하는 경우 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났고, 지표하저수지에서 지하수유출을 발생시키는 매개변수는 크게 민감하지 않은 것으로 판명되었다. 그리고 토양대에서 지하수저수지로의 유입 관련 매개변수는 유출을 지연시키는 효과를 보였고 증발산을 조절하는 매개변수는 유출용적에만 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다.

최근 자동차 배기 가스 유출에 의한 환경문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있고, 이에 따라 그 중 NOx, SOx 등의 유해가스 검출을 위한 센서 개발이 강력히 요구되고 있다. 본 실험은 자동차에서 배출되는 NO 가스에 대한 민감한 센서 제작을 목적으로 In2O3 박막을 성장시켜 그 특성을 측정하였고, NO 가스에 대한 민감도를 증가시키기 위해 7 ~32 정도의 초박막 Co 촉매를 증착하여 NO 감도에 미치는 현상을 조사하였다. In2O3 2˝ target(순도 99.99%)을 사용하여 RF power와 Ar/O2의 비를 변화시켜가면서 상온에서 알루미나 기판위에 In2O3 박막 성장시켰다. 박막을 성장시킨 후 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 5$0^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시키면서 공기 중에서 열처리를 하였다. In2O3 박막의 결정성은 XRD를 이용하여 측정하였고 표면 특성을 알아보기 위해 AFM과 SEM 측정을 하였다. XRD 분석결과 상온에서부터 50$0^{\circ}C$까지 회절 peck의 강도차이는 있었지만 모든 시편에서 In2O3 박막이 cubic 구조로 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 100ppm 농도 NO 가스에 대한 센서 소자의 감도를 20$0^{\circ}C$~40$0^{\circ}C$ 온도 영역에서 측정하였다. 순수한 In2O3 의 경우 감도(S=Ra/Rg)는 25$0^{\circ}C$에서 S 6 정도로 가장 좋았다. 반면에 Co 촉매를 표면에 흡착시킨 경우 20$0^{\circ}C$~25$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 반응속도가 매우 빨라지고, 150 정도 Co를 흡착시킨 센서의 경우 S 14 로 감도가 매우 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
