For a thorough accounting for economic growth, it is desired to include the working hours and the efficiency of labor as production factors in addition to the number of workers and human and physical capital stocks. This paper estimates the distribution of weekly working hours of total workers as a continuous variable using the maximum likelihood method, estimates the efficiency of labor as a function of working hours using wage statistics, and by combining these results, estimates the labor efficiency index in Korea for the period 1963~2003. Estimation results show that the efficiency of labor was maximized when the weekly working hours was 40 hours, and the average annual growth rate of the labor efficiency for the period 1963~2003 was 0.14 percent.

Ecotourism refers to tourism that senses and observes superior natural resources, cultural resources and history around. Today, as the current leisure patterns of the people change, a healing trip to find nature is being activated. In this paper, we propose a platform design and construction for providing ecotourism information. In the proposed platform, first, the image file of the eco-tourism objects taken every day from the image capture device is collected, converted into a video, uploaded to the server, then, when the tourist arrives at the eco-tourism object, It is designed to be able to watch.

태양광 발전산업에서 현재 주류인 결정 실리콘 태양전지의 변환효율은 꾸준히 향상되고 있으나, 태양전지의 가격이 매년 서서히 하강되고 있는 실정에서 결정질 실리콘 가격의 상승 등으로 부가가치 창출에 어려움이 있으며, 생산 원가를 낮출 수 있는 태양전지 제조기술로는 2세대 태양전지로 불리는 박막형이 현재의 대안이며, 특히 에너지 변환 효율과 생산 원가에서 장점이 있는 것이 CIGS 박막 태양전지로 판단된다. 화합물반도체 베이스인 CIGS 박막 태양전지는 연구실에서는 세계적으로 20.3% 높은 효율을 보고하고 있으며, 모듈급에서도 13% 효율로 생산이 시작되고 있다. 국내에서도 연구실 규모 뿐만 아니라 대면적(모듈급) CIGS 박막 태양전지 증착용 장비, 제조공정 등의 기술개발이 진행되고 있다. CIGS를 광흡수층으로 하는 CIGS 박막 태양전지의 구조는 여러 층의 단위박막(하부전극, 광흡수층, 버퍼층, 앞면 투명전극, 반사방지막)을 순차적으로 형성시켜 만든다. 이 중에 하부전극은 Mo 재료을 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하여 주로 사용한다. 하부전극은 0.24 Ohm/cm2 정도의 전기적 특성이 요구되며, 주상조직으로 성장하여야 하며, 기판과의 밀착성이 좋아야하고 또한 레이저 패턴시 기판에서 잘 떨어져야 하는 특성을 동시에 가져야 한다. 그리고 CIGS 박막 내에서 Na 도핑을 어떻게 제어할 것인지도 고려해야한다. 본 연구에서는 대면적(모듈급) CIGS 박막 태양전지에서 요구되는 하부전극 Mo 박막의 특성과 기술적 이슈들에 대해서 연구결과들을 논하고자 한다.

The growth of GaN on the patterned substances has proven favorable to achieve thick, crack-free GaN layers. In this paper, numerical modeling of transport and reaction of species is performed to estimate the growth rate of GaN from tile reaction of TMG(trimethly-gallium) and ammonia. GaN growth rate was estimated through the model analysis including the effect of species velocity, thermal convection and chemical reaction, and thermal condition for the uniform deposition was to be presented. The effect of shape and construction of microscopic pattern was also investigated using a simulator to perform surface analysis, and a review was done on the quantitative thickness and shape in making GaN layer on the pattern. Quantitative analysis was especially performed about the shape of reactor geometry, periodicity of pattern and flow conditions which decisively affect the quality of crystal growth. It was found that the conformal deposition could be obtained with the inclination of trench ${\Theta}>125^{\circ}$. The aspect ratio was sensitive to the void formation inside trench and the void located deep in trench with increased aspect ratio.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to investigate the spread pattern of Korean legal certification systems and their impact on industry performance. Methods: It first analyzes the life cycle of legal certification systems and classifies them into four categories based on the spread patterns in a chronological view. A survey study is then conducted to find out the impact of legal certification systems on financial performance. Both the legal mandatory certification systems and the legal voluntary certification systems are included in the survey. Results: Four spread patterns of legal certification systems are sustainable growth, stagnation after growth, decrease after growth, and repetition of growth and declination. 56% of 293 certified corporations responded positively about the financial impact of their certification systems. Conclusion: The policy makers can utilize the results of this study in designing additional certification systems as well as promoting the current legal certification systems.

Chain-linking is a method for aggregating volume measures which would improve the quality of estimates of economic growth over the present fixed base in Korea. There is a risk that choice of chain-linking techniques such annual overlap, one-quarter overlap or over-the-year overlap may create an artificial seasonality to the volume series. The empirical results on Korean GDP suggest that the use of the annual overlap is recommended. And conducting seasonal adjustment after chain-linking to produce the chain-linked seasonally adjusted GDP is more appropriated in Korea.

Hacking tools are evolving along the growth of on-line game industry. Those tools allow users with no programming knowledge to hack the game, which causes a lot of problems in on-line game services. Specifically, FPS games based on peer-to-peer networks are vulnerable to hacks. This paper analyzes cheating patterns by the case of Point Blank in Indonesia and prioritize countermeasures, which helps game companies handle hacks efficiently.

고분자 절연재료의 결함에 의하여 발생하는 부분방전은 고분자 재료의 화학적, 전기적 열화를 가져오며 때로는 전기 트리로 성장하여 재료의 절연파괴에 이르게 하기도 한다. 따라서 부분 방전 현상의 메카니즘 뿐만 아니라 측정법에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었으나 부분방전 열화가 고분자 재료에 미치는 열화과정에 대하여서는 명확한 메카니즘이 보고되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 부분방전에 의한 고분자 절연재료 내의 공간전하 축적 현상에 대하여 연구하였다. 고분자 재료로는 현재 전력용 케이블에 주로 사용되고 있는 가교 폴리에틸렌(XLPE)를 사용하였으며, 1kHz의 주파수로6kV, 8kV, 10kv 및 11kV로 수시간 부분방전을 발생시킨 후 펄스정전응력법(PEA)으로 공간전하를 측정하였다. 실험결과 부분방전에 의하여 고분자 재료 내에 이종공간전하의 주입이 확인되었으며 따라서 부분방전에 의하여 고분자 재료가 열화되며 이러한 열화에 의한 전자의 방출율의 변화와 같은 고분자 표면의 상태 변화에 의하여 부분방전의 패턴에 지배적인 영향을 미친다. 이러한 공간전하의 축적에 의하여 부분방전 현상에 미치는 영향은 추후 보고할 예정이다.

The GaAs epitaxial layers were grown on Si(100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) using the two-step method. The Si(100) substrates were cleaned with different surface cleaning method of vacuum heating, As-beam, and Ga-beam at the substrate temperature of $800^{\circ}C$. Growth temperature and thickness of the GaAs epitaxial layer were $800^{\circ}C$ and 1 ${\mu}m$, respectively. The surface structure and epitaxial growth were observed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction(RHEED) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). Just surface structure of the Si(100) substrate cleaned by Ga-beam at $800^{\circ}C$ shows double domain ($2{\times}1$). RHEED patterns of the GaAs epitaxial layers grown on Si(100) substrates with cleaning method of vacuum heating, As-beam, and Ga-beam show spot-like, ($2{\times}4$) with spot, and clear ($2{\times}4$). From SEM, it is found that the GaAs epitaxial layers grown on Si(100) substrates with Ga-beam cleaning has a high quality.

Vertically aligned Zinc Oxide rod arrays were grown by the self-assembly hydrothermal process on the GaN epitaxial layer which has a same lattice structure with ZnO. Zinc nitrate and DETA solutions are used in the hydrothermal process. The $(HfO_2)$ thin film was deposited on GaN and the patterning was made by the photolithography technique. The selective growth of ZnO rod was achieved with the patterned GaN substrate. The fabricated ZnO rods are single crystal, and have grown along hexagonal c-axis direction of (002) which is the same growth orientation of GaN epitaxial layer. The density and the size of ZnO rod can be controlled by the pattern. The optical property of ordered array of vertical ZnO rods will be discussed in the present work.
