This paper addresses the analysis and the design optimization of differential interconnects for Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) applications. Thanks to the differential transmission and the low voltage swing, LVDS offers high data rates and improved noise immunity with significantly reduced power consumption in data communications, high-resolution display, and flat panel display. We present an improved model and new equations to reduce impedance mismatch and signal degradation in cascaded interconnects using optimization of interconnect design parameters such as trace width, trace height and πace space in differential flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) transmission lines. We have carried out frequency-domain full-wave electromagnetic simulations, time-domain transient simulations, and S-parameter simulations to evaluate the high-frequency characteristics of the differential FPCB interconnects.

유기물을 기반으로 하는 유기발광소자(OLED), 유기메모리(OBD) 및 유기 태양전지(organic solar cell) 등과 같은 차세대 전자 소자는 기존의 무기물 기반의 소자에 비해 가격이 싸고 제작방법이 간단하며 휘어지게 만들 수 있다는 장점을 갖기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 유기물질을 기반으로 한 전자 소자의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 유기물 자체의 물리적인 특성을 고찰하는 연구가 중요하다. 특히, 유기물 내에서의 전하 전송 메카니즘을 이해하기 위해 유기물의 이동도에 대한 연구가 중요하나, 아직까지 유기물질을 기반으로 한 전자 소자의 전하이동도에 대한 이론적인 연구가 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 온도 변화에 따른 유기물 내에서의 전자 이동도를 몬테카를로 방법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 기본 구조로 소자의 길이는 50~500 사이트로 하였으며, 이웃한 사이트간 거리는 3A로 결정하였다. 유기물 내에 존재하는 트랩의 분포는 가우시안 분포로 가정하였다. 유기물 내에서의 전자 이동도를 추출하기 위해 이웃한 트랩간의 천이 확률을 Miller and Abrahams 식을 이용하여 계산하고[1], 트랩간의 천이시간을 컴퓨터에서 발생시킨 난수를 통해 얻어 이들을 통계적으로 처리하여 유기물 내에서의 전자 이동도를 계산하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 전자 이동도는 전계가 증가함에 따라 일정하게 증가하다가 일정 전계에서 포화된 후, 다시 감소하는 현상을 갖는다. 초기의 전계영역에서는 전계의 증가에 따라 유기물 내 트랩간의 천이 확률이 증가하기 때문에 전자 이동도가 증가한다. 하지만, 일정 전계 이상의 큰 전계 영역에서는 전자의 이동 속도는 거의 변하지 않는 상태에서 전계는 계속 증가하기 때문에 상대적으로 전자 이동도는 줄어들게 된다. 다양한 길이를 갖는 벌크 상태의 유기소자에 대한 전자 이동도를 시뮬레이션 하였을 때, 소자의 크기와 상관없이 전자 이동도는 거의 일정 하였다. 이는 순수한 벌크 상태의 유기소자는 유기물 자체에서의 전자 움직임에 의해 전자 이동도가 결정되기 때문이다. 온도가 높아짐에 따라 유기물 내의 전자 이동도는 증가하였다. 이는 온도가 증가할수록 열적 여기에 의한 트랩간의 천이 확률이 증가하기 때문이다. 하지만, 트랩의 분산도가 30 meV로 작을 경우, 일정 온도 이상에서의 전자 이동도는 포화되어 일정한 값으로 유지한다. 유기물 내에 존재하는 트랩 분포에 따라 온도의 변화에 따른 전자 이동도 특성이 달라짐을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 유기물질을 기반으로 한 전자소자에서의 전하 전송 메카니즘을 이해하고 소자의 제작 및 특성 향상에 도움이 된다고 생각한다.

Space-Time Coding(STC) is a technique that utilizes joint correlation of transmitted signals in both time and space domains. Through this approach, diversity and coding gains can be simultaneously obtained. In this paper, we use SPW simulation tool to implement the IEEE 802.11a system. Based on this system, OFDM system with STC and convolutional coder concatenated is implemented. The system performance is analyzed and compared with the performance of the IEEE 802.11a system. The simulation results show that the performance with concatenated codes at a data rate of 6Mbps shows approximately a 5dB gain over the system with the convolutional code only. At a data rate of 12Mbps, the performance with concatenated codes is further improved by approximately 6dB.

The distribution characteristics of data retention time for DRAM was studied in connection with the probability distribution of the cell parameters. Using the cell parameters and the transient characteristics of cell node voltage, data retention time was investigated. The activation energy for dielectric layer growth on cell capacitance, the recombination trap energy for leakage current in the junction depletion region, and the sensitivity characteristics of sense amplifier were used as the random variables to perform the Monte Carlo simulation, and the probability distributions of cell parameters and distribution characteristics of cumulative failure bit on data retention time in DRAM cells were calculated. we found that the sensitivity characteristics of sense amplifier strongly affected on the tail bit distribution of data retention time.

The implicit formulation of rotor dynamics for helicopter flight simulation has been derived and and presented. The generalized vector kinematics regarding the relative motion between coordinates were expressed as a unified matrix operation and applied to get the inertial velocities and accelerations at arbitaty rotor blade span position. Based on these results the rotor aeromechanic equations for flapping dynamics, lead-lag dynamics and torque dynamics were formulated as an implicit form. Spatial integration methods of rotor dynamic equations along blade span and the expanded applicability of the present implicit formulations for arbitrary hings geometry and hinge sequences have been investigated. Time integration methods for present DAE(Differential Algebraic Equation) to calculate dynamic response calculation are recommenaded as future works.

Device characteristics of the Metal-Ferroclecric-Semiconductor FET(MFSFET) are simulated in this study. The field-dependent polarization model and the square-law FET model are employed in our simulation. C-V$_{G}$ curves generated from our MFSFET simulation exhibit the accumulation, the depletion and the inversion regions clearly. The capacitance, the subthreshold and the drain current characteristics as a function of gate bias exhibit the memory windows are 1 and 2 V, when the coercive voltages of ferroelectric are 0.5 and 1 V respectively. I$_{D}$-V$_{D}$ curves are composed of the triode and the saturation regions. The difference of saturation drain currents of the MFSFET device at the dual threshold voltages in I$_{D}$-V$_{D}$ curve is 1.5, 2.7, 4.0, and 5.7 ㎃, when the gate biases are 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3V respectively. As the drain current is demonstrated after time delay, PLZT(10/30/70) thin film shows excellent reliability as well as the decrease of saturation current is about 18 % after 10 years. Our simulation model is expected to be very useful in the estimation of the behaviour of MFSFET devices.T devices.

This study develops a variable structure controller using the time-varying nonlinear sliding surface instead of the fixed sliding surface, which has been the robustness against parameter variations and extraneous disturbance during the reaching phase. By appling TS fuzzy algorithm to the regulation of the rionlinear sliding surface, the reaching time of the system trajectory is faster than the fixed method. This proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional method in reaching time, parameter variation and extraneous disturbance. To demonstrate its performance, the proposed control algorithm is applied to a rotational inverted pendulum.

This study intends to identify the effect of the simulation-based adult nursing education on resilience, clinical competence, and role transition of nursing students. Similar experimental study of a single group pretest-posttest design was used to investigate the effects of the program. The study was conducted from March to June, 2017 on senior nursing students at the university in M city who take an 'Integrated nursing practice I' class for the semester. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires and data of 52 participants were analyzed. The data were analyzed by frequencies, paired t-test and pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS 21.0 program. As a result, the effectiveness of the simulation-based adult nursing education on resilience, clinical competence, and role transition were found. The result of this study showed that the improvement after simulation education was significant in resilience(t=-2.51, p=.016), clinical competence(t=-4.18, p<.001), and role transition(t=-2.89, p=.006). Resilience was found to be positively correlated with clinical competence(r=.464, p<.001) and role transition(r=.473, p<.001). These findings imply the value of simulation education to enhance the resilience, clinical competence, and role transition of nursing students. In the future, more studies should be conducted in the same group with control group to validate the effectiveness of variables.

Today, we are using computer simulations in various engineering disciplines to reduce the time and cost of product development. The scope of simulations is increasingly complex and diverse for different fields such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid. Thus, it is necessary to use integrated simulations. In order to overcome these problems, a language has been developed to effectively describe and implement simulations is Modelica. To model and simulate a system, physical models can be broadly divided into causal and acausal models. The most important feature of Modelica is acausal programming. In this study, we will introduce simple concepts and explain about the usage of Modelica. Furthermore, we will explain the vibration analysis of a two degree-of-freedom system and the design of appropriate parameters by using Modelica.
