In this paper new mesh generation method is proposed for crack propagation analysis based on the finite element method. The main tool of the method is the Delaunay Triangulation, Transfinete element mapping, and it allows the setting of the arbitrary crack-growth increment and the arbitrary crack direction. It has the form of a subroutine, and it is easily introduced as a subroutine for any mesh generation method which is based on the blocking method.

전력선 통신(Power Line Communication)은 최근 전력선을 이용한 통신기술의 발달과 더불어 세계적으로 관심도가 높아지고 연구 개발 및 자본 투자가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 안정적인 네트워크를 구성하기 위해서는 고주파 전력선 통신 신호를 차단하는 블로킹 필터가 반드시 적용되어야 한다. 전력선 통신용 블로킹 필터는 광대역의 주파수 특성과 높은 신호감쇄 특성 및 대전류 특성이 요구되며, 이러한 특성을 구현하기 위해서는 블로킹 필터의 핵심부품인 자심재료의 고투자율 및 대전류화가 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우수한 전 자기적 특성이 균일하게 유지되고, 전력선에 흐르는 대전류에 의한 자심재료의 포화가 발생하지 않도륵 새로운 자심 재료를 설계하여, 전력선 통신을 적용한 홈 네트워크 구축의 핵심 부품인 광대역 블로킹 필터를 개발하고자 하였다. 2350과 0.3 T의 투자율과 포화자속 밀도를 갖는 EI 형상의 자심재료를 해석모델로 설정하고 다중 에어 갭의 위치에 따른 전류와 자속밀도 변화를 유한요소 해석법으로 분석한 결과 자심재료의 대전류 특성에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 에어 캡의 삽입 위치를 알 수 있었고, 새로운 해석 모델인 I 형상의 로드(ROD) 코어에 대해 수치해석을 수행하여, 100A의 통전 전류에서도 자기적으로 포화되지 않고 인덕턴스의 정밀 제어가 가능하고, 특성의 신뢰성과 대전류에 대한 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있는 인덕터를 설계하였다. 또한 수동소자를 이용한 LC 공진회로를 기본 구성으로 하고, 주파수 대역, 신호 감쇄율과 대전류 특성, 상용화를 고려하여 블로킹 필터 회로를 설계하였으며, 유한요소해석법을 적용한 전자장 모의해석을 통하여 최소의 크기를 갖는 I 형상의 자심재료에 $6{\Phi}$의 에나멜 동선을 6.5턴, 6턴 권선하여 2.5, $2.15\;{\mu}H$의 인덕턴스를 갖는 직렬 인덕터를 구현하였고 블로킹 필터를 구성하였다. 주파수에 따른 신호감쇄 특성을 5 Hz~1 MHz의 주파수 범위에서 측정한 결과 약 490 kHz~450 kHz의 주파수 대역에서 -70dB의 신호감쇄 특성을 나타냈다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 100A급 광대역 블로킹 필터가 적용되어 상용화 될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 또한 모뎀 통신 주파수 대역에서 -70dB 이상의 높은 감쇄 특성을 갖기 때문에 신호차단 특성이 보다 우수할 것으로 사료된다.

폴리 실리콘 층의 유무에 따른 금속-옥사이드-반도체(MOS) 구조의 소자를 제작하였다. 터널링 산화막과 블로킹 산화막으로는 $Al_{2}O_{3}$ 층을 증착하였으며, 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 제작하였다. 터널링 산화막 층의 두께에 따른 I-V와 C-V 특성을 측정하였다. 전자들이 폴리 실리콘 층에 저장됨에 따라 N-형의 I-V 특성이 관찰되었다. C-V 측정 시에는 반시계 방향의 히스테리시스 특성을 나타내었으며, 전압이 증가할수록 플랫-밴드 전압 이동 폭이 더욱 증가하였다. 이러한 전기적 특성은 전압의 이동에 따른 전자들이 터널링 산화막 층을 통하여 폴리 실리콘 내부에 저장되기 때문이다. 이를 특성들은 폴리 실리콘의 전하 저장 가능성을 보여주는 것이며, 터널링 산화막 층의 두께에 따른 전기적 특성 변화도 관찰하였다.

A lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) method using carbon nanodot@silica as a signaling material was developed for analyzing the concentration of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), one of the lung cancer biomarkers. Instead of antibodies mainly used as bioreceptors in nitrocellulose membranes in LFIA for protein detection, aptamers that are more economical, easy to store for a long time, and have strong affinities toward specific target proteins were used. A 5' terminal of biotin-modified aptamer specific to RBP4 was first reacted with neutravidin followed by spraying the mixture on the membrane in order to immobilize the aptamer in a porous membrane by the strong binding affinity between biotin and neutravidin. Carbon nanodot@silica nanoparticles with blue fluorescent signal covalently conjugated to the RBP4 antibody, and RBP4 were injected in a lateral flow manner on to the surface bound aptamer to form a sandwich complex. Surfactant concentrations, ionic strength, and additional blocking reagents were added to the running buffer solution to optimize the fluorescent signal off from the sandwich complex which was correlated to the concentration of RBP4. A 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4) running buffer containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.05% Tween-20 with 0.6 M ethanolamine as a blocking agent showed the optimum assay condition for carbon nanodot@silica-based LFIA. The results indicate that an aptamer, more economical and easier to store for a long time can be used as an alternative immobilizing probe for antibody in a LFIA device which can be used as a point-of-care diagnosis kit for lung cancer diseases.

In this article, a portable and cost-effective voltammetric biosensor with nanoparticles was developed for the measurements of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 protein (hnRNP A1) biomarker which can potentially be used for lung cancer diagnosis. Gold nanoparticles were first electrodeposited onto screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) followed by immobilizing a single stranded DNA aptamer specific to hnRNP A1 onto the electrode surface. Ethanolamine was also used when immobilizing DNA aptamer on the surface to prevent signals from non-specific adsorption events. Sequential injection of hnRNP A1 biomarker and anti-hnRNP A1 conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) onto the aptamer chip surface allows to form the sandwich complex of DNA aptamer/hnRNP A1/ALP-anti-hnRNP A1 on the electrode surface which further reacted with 4-aminophenyl phosphate (APP). The electrocatalytic reaction of the enzyme, ALP, and the substrate, APP, resulting in the oxidative current response changes at -0.05 and -0.17 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) against the hnRNP A1 concentration was measured using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, respectively. The Au nanoparticles-integrated voltammetric biosensor was applied to analyze human normal serum solutions possibly suggesting potential applicability for lung cancer diagnosis.

Proposed CCRSVP (Candidate Casting RSVP) algorithm is a new fast handoff method which uses advanced multicasting method and RSVP for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in the handoff latency and the B/W efficiency aspect and guarantees QoS because it uses L2 information (BSSID) of WLAN and starts to reserve resources and multicast packets before L2 handoff completes. We also propose a Markov chain performance analysis model in which we can analyze the handoff performance of various handoff algorithms. Using the model, we compare bandwidth efficiency of the proposed algorithm with existing handoff algorithms which use RSVP by analyzing blocking probability of session, resource usage, and the average number of ongoing session in a cell. The results show that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existing algorithms in the above three performance aspects.

This research was conducted to establish appropriate methods to prune tomato side stems during summer. Cherry tomatoes "Unicorn" (Monsanto Korea, Korea) were grown in the coir based growing medium, and irrigation was controlled time based system. There were three pruning treatments: 1) removing all side stems (ACUT), 2) remaining two leaves on the side stems right below any cluster (PCUT), and 3) remaining two leaves on all side stems (LEFT). Experimental results showed that the occurrence of swollen stems, a symptom of nutrient excess, was influenced by side stem pruning due to blocking of consumption of photosynthetic products. The photosynthetic rate was not different between leaves on main stem and those on side shoots. Therefore the differences in the total amounts of photosynthetic products seemed to come out from the differences in leaf areas on each treatments, influencing on fruit yield difference. The yields and harvesting rates were better in ACUT treatment when tomato plants were harvested until $5^{th}$ cluster, however tomato yield was higher in LEFT treatment when more then $5^{th}$ clusters were harvested.
