This paper proposes a wideband monopole antenna with improved band rejection characteristics by inserting two band notch slots with half wavelength in radiator. The designed antenna is composed of bow-tie patch fed electromagnetically with parasitic ground patch of a semicircular shape. We obtained band rejection filter-like characteristics by controlling coupling amounts between two horizontal resonance slots. Using this technique, we achieved the broad rejection bandwidth and improved skirt characteristics compared with only one notch slot. The measured bandwidth is from 2.7 GHz to 6.9 GHz for VSWR below 2.0 except the limited band of $4.96{\sim}5.51GHz$. This antenna shows a similar radiation pattern of the ideal monopole and the radiation gain reduction is more than $5{\sim}10dB$ on the x-z plane at rejection frequency.

It is known that the earth pressure acting on the cylindrical retaining wall in cohesionless soils is small than that acting on the retaining wall in plane strain condition due to three dimensional arching effect. In this study, the earth pressure equation considering the earth pressure decrease by horizontal and vertical arching effects, overburden, wall friction, and failure surface slope is proposed. For the purpose of verifying the applicability of proposed equation, model test is performed with apparatuses that can control wall displacement, wall friction, and wall shape ratio. Influence of each factor on the active earth pressure acting on the cylindrical retaining wall is analyzed according to the model test in constant wall displacement condition. The comparison of calculated results with measured values shows that the proposed equations satisfactorily predict the earth pressure distribution on the cylindrical retaining wall.

Gap junctions are distributed within various cells and function as electrical synapses by freely exchanging small molecules. In the retina, the practical role of gap junctions in an animal's motion detection has not been investigated very much. In this study, optometer response (OMR) was used to Investigate the effects of drugs which modulate electrical synapses between retinal ceils. An Injection of carbenoxolone, 8-Br-cAMP, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or 8-Br-cGMP decreased goldfish's OMR in both light and dark conditions. In light conditions, an intravitreal injection of dopamine, SKF-38393 or eticlopride decreased OMR and that of SCH-23390 increased it. In dark conditions, the injections produced opposite results: dopamine, SKF-38393 and eticlopride increased OMR and SCH-23390 caused OMR to decrease. These results indicate that gap junctions between retinal cells have an Important role in goldfish's motion detection.

This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the new type of encased composite beams that use deep deck plates, which could reduce the story height of buildings by controlling the bottom flange of steel beams. The profiled steel beam was thus developed. It was advantageous to the long span of the buildings. Seven full-scale specimens were constructed, and simply supported bending tests were conducted on the encased composite beams with different steel plate thicknesses, with and without shear studs, reinforcing bars, and web openings. The test results showed that the encased composite beams that were developed in this study had sufficient composite action without additional shear connectors due to their inherent shear-bond effects between the steel beams and concrete.

실리콘 나노와이어는 높은 표면적으로 인해 뛰어난 감지 능력을 가지는 재료 중 하나로 다양한 센서 응용 분야에 사용되고 있다. 이를 제작하는 방법에는 Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) 공정을 이용한 Top-down 방식과 Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) 공정을 이용한 Bottom-up 방식이 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD)와 Au 촉매를 이용한 Bottom-up 방식은 수십 나노미터 이하의 실리콘 나노와이어를 간단한 변수 조절을 통해 성장시킬 수 있다. 또한 Au/Si의 공융점인 363$^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서 $SiH_4$를 분해시킬 수 있어 열적 효과로 인한 손실을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 하지만 PECVD를 이용한 실리콘 나노와이어 성장은 VLS 공정을 통해 표면으로부터 수직으로 성장하게 되는데 이는 센서 응용을 위한 전극 사이의 수평 연결 어려움을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이를 피하기 위한 표면 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 PECVD VLS 공정을 이용하여 $HAuCl_4$를 촉매로 이용한 표면 성장된 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어를 성장시켰다. 공정가스로는 $SiH_4$와 이를 분해시키기 위해 Ar 플라즈마를 사용 하였고 웨이퍼 표면에 HAuCl4를 분사하고 고진공 상태에서 챔버 기판을 370$^{\circ}C$까지 가열한 후 플라즈마 파워(W) 및 공정 압력(mTorr)을 변수로 두어 실험을 진행하였다. 기존의 보고된 연구와 달리 환원된 금 입자 대신 $HAuCl_4$용액을 그대로 사용하였는데 이는 표면 조도(Surface roughness)를 가지는 Au 박막 상태로 존재하게 된다. 이 중 마루(Asperite) 부분에 PECVD로부터 발생된 실리콘 나노 입자가 상대적으로 높은 확률로 흡착하게 되어 실리콘 나노와이어의 표면성장을 유도하게 된다. 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어는 SEM과 EDS를 이용하여 직경, 길이 및 화학적 성분을 측정하였다. 직경은 약 100 nm, 길이는 약 10 ${\mu}m$ 정도로 나타났으며 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어가 성장되었다. 향후 전극이 형성된 기판위에 이를 직접 성장시킴으로써 이 물질의 I-V 특성을 파악 할 것이며 이는 센서 응용 분야에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the curtain-wall structure design evaluation manual that can easily examine the curtain-wall structural members (Mullion and Transom) stability from the position of the construction managers. Through analyzing the structural design reports in the previous studies and interview with industry experts, the curtain-wall structural member design process was elicited. The manual, which consists of Microsoft Excel-based work sheet and its manual, was applied to a real curtain-wall design project to make sure its usability. A workshop with three curtain-wall experts and three construction managers was conducted to identify pros and cons of the manual, thereby enhancing its applicability in the future.

Anterior openbite is defined as the lack of contacts between the functional occluding teeth on vertical line at centric occlusion and classified into functional and skeletal anterior openbite based on its causes and characteristics. In mixed dentition, habit control and the elimination of abnormal perioral muscle function and moving the vertical direction development to the sagittal direction of the mandible by the functional appliance is a goal of treatment. This study presents the effective interception of oral habit by the tongue crib and functional-fixed treatment and treatment response of openbite related to tongue thrust habit.

Recent theoretical calculations predicted that a system composed exclusively of 3d transition metals without 4d/5d transition metals or rare earth metals can have strong perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) if Fe and Ni layers are arranged appropriately. They considered only Fe-terminated surfaces, noting that Fe/MgO(001) and CoFeB/MgO(001) show strong perpendicular MCA. In this paper, we investigate magnetism and MCA of Ni/Fe(001) surface where Ni layer is positioned at the surface, by using complementarily the first principles calculational methods of Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) and Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FLAPW) method. Comparing results of magnetism and MCA obtained by VASP with the results by FLAPW method, we find the VASP results do not show big difference from results by FLAPW method. Magnetic moments of Fe and Ni are enhanced due to strong hybridization between Fe and Ni bands. MCA of Ni/Fe(001) is parallel to the surface, which implies the surface termination plays a crucial role in determining MCA of a system.

In this paper a Super Multi-view display method using a pinhole array with full parallax was proposed. The proposed method was simulated and its parameters analyzed. Also, the distribution and irradiance of light through each pinhole on the retina receiver, according to the change of crystalline lens focal length, were found by simulation. As a result, an image free of blurring was obtained while the crystalline lens focused on the depth plane of the three-dimensional image created by the imaging lens.

In this paper, it is designed a microstrip U-slotted patch antenna with double resonances to enhance the bandwidth. In the design of an U-slotted patch antenna, there are considered the input impedance, the width of patch, the total length of the slot, the height of foam, the position of the probe and the radius of feed pin. The broadband behavior of antenna can be obtained by adjusting the length and width of the slot. The radiation from the antenna is linear polarized with the E-paine parallel to the vertical slots and the H plane parallel to horizontal slot. The radiation pattern, impedance locus, and VSWR of the antenna are calculated using "ENSEMBLE" software, and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the bandwidth for VSWR $\le$ 2:1 is about 28.6%, a directivity 14.18dBi at 6.040GHz. 6.040GHz.
