Changes in visual sensitivity were investigated as a function of distance from the locus of attention. While a subject was fixating at a point on a frontal plane, one of the two attention inducing points placed horizontally and symmetrically 4。 apart from it was blinked and a target immediately followed at a location around the blinking dot. The subject's task was to decide and report whether the target was present or abscent. The rate of detection was the highest at the immediate vicinity of the locus of attention and decreased gradually as a function of the distance from it. Results of the experiments support the gradient model of attention-induced changes in visual sensitivity.

저차원 나노구조인 자발형성 양자점은 그 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이미 양자점을 이용한 소자들의 우수성이 입증이 되고 있다. 그러나 양자점의 형성은 단결정 기판 위에서 Stranski-Krastanow 성장 방법을 통해 일어나기 때문에 성장표면에 존재하는 표면 계단구조 등의 국부적인 표면 불균일성에 의해서 모두 동시에 형성되는 것은 아니다. 표면 핵생성의 시간차에 의해 양자점의 크기 불균일성이 나타나게 되며 이는 양자점의 우수성을 저해하는 요인이 된다. 특히, 비정상적으로 크게 성장된 양자점은 내부에 전위 등의 결정결함을 내포하게 되고, 양자점의 우수한 광특성을 손상시키는 주 요인이 된다. 양자점의 우수한 광특성을 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 이러한 비정상적으로 큰 양자점이 없으면서 균일한 양자점을 성장하는 것이 매우 필요하다. 본 발표에서는 그 동안 본 연구실에서 제안한 새로운 양자점 성장 방법에 대한 소개를 하고자 한다. 유기화학금속화학성장(Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) 도중에 V족 소스가스인 $AsH_3$의 주입을 주기적으로 끊어 주는 새로운 성장 방법(Periodic Arsine Interruption; PAI)을 제안하였다. 이 방법을 통해서 비정상적으로 형성되는 큰 양자점을 완전히 제거할 수 있었다. $AsH_3$을 끊어주는 시간 동안에 표면에서 As의 탈착을 유도하여 표면을 In-rich 쪽으로 유도하였고, 이렇게 함으로써 성장 표면에너지를 높은 쪽으로 바꾸어 줌으로써 핵생성을 위한 표면 roughening이 시작되는 것을 억제하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 미리 핵생성이 되어 비정상적으로 크게 성장하는 양자점으로 억제하면서 거의 동시에 모든 양자점이 핵생성되게 유도하였다. $AsH_3$의 주입 방법의 변화에 따른 양자점의 형성 거동을 연구함으로써 PAI 의 메카니즘을 이해할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a waypoint guidance algorithm for the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV). The proposed simplified guidance algorithm is presented, which is combined LOS guidance and cross-track guidance for path following. Cross-track error is calculated using the position of the AUV and reference path. LOS guidance and cross-track guidance are appropriately changed according to cross-track error. And the stability of the system has been improved using variable cross-track control gain by cross-track error. Also, in this paper, navigation hardware in-the loop simulation(HILS) is implemented to verify navigation algorithm of AUV that performs combined navigation using inertial navigation device and doppler velocity log(DVL). Finally, we design integrated system HILS (including navigation HILS) for performance verification of guidance algorithm of the autonomous underwater vehicle. By comparing the sea test result with HILS result, the proposed guidance algorithm and HILS configuration were confirmed be correct.

Purpose: This paper compares the clinical outcomes of patients who were treated with a cervical nerve block by ultrasound and C-arm and reports the complication. Materials and Methods: A total of 97 patients were treated with an ultrasound-guided nerve root block from May 1, 2015 to February 8, 2018. On the other hand, 94 patients were treated with a C-arm guided nerve root block. The consequences of the cervical pain and the radiating pain before and after the procedures were reviewed using the verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS). In addition, the complications related to the procedures from the daily notes from the chart were inspected. Results: Sixty-six cases out of 97 cases of ultrasound-guided nerve root block were enrolled in the study. The average age of the patients was 57 years, including 41 males and 25 females. Seventy seven out of 94 cases by a C-arm guided root block were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 55 years, including 40 males and 37 females. Before the nerve root block, the mean numeric rating pain scale (NRS) of the cervical pain in ultrasound-guided block decreased from 5.4 points to 2.7 points at three weeks and 1.4 points at six weeks (p=0.0023, p<0.001), and 3.1 points in the C-arm (p<0.001, p<0.001) at three weeks and 1.5 points at six weeks (p<0.001, p<0.001). In the case of radiating pain, the mean NRS in the ultrasound-guided nerve root block group improved from 6.3 points after the procedure to 2.8 points at three weeks and 1.5 points at six weeks (p<0.001, p<0.001). In the C-arm guided nerve root block group, the NRS improved from 7.4 points after the procedure to 3.3 points at three weeks and 1.9 points at six weeks. In the case of complications, Horner's syndrome and propriospinal myoclonus were observed in one case of C-arm guided block group. Conclusion: The clinical results of the patients who underwent ultrasound-guided cervical nerve root block were not significantly different from those who underwent a C-arm guided cervical nerve root block.

This paper describes an automatic landing approach algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs using waypoint guidance. The proposed algorithm utilizes simple 2D Dubin's vehicle pre-simulations in planning the waypoints for landing approach. The remaining time to reach the runway is also estimated in the pre-simulation, and it is used for altitude control. The performance of the designed algorithm was verified by simulations and flight tests.

Communication induced checkpointing (CIC) is one of the checkpointing techniques to provide fault tolerance for distributed systems. Independent checkpoints that each distributed process produces without coordination are likely to be useless. Useless checkpoints, which cannot belong to any consistent global checkpoint sets, induce nondeterminant rollback. To prevent the useless checkpoints, CIC forces processes to take additional checkpoints at proper moment. The number of those forced checkpoints is the main source of failure-free overhead in CIC. In this paper, we present two new CIC protocols which satisfy 'No Z-Cycle (NZC)'property. The proposed protocols reduce the number of forced checkpoints compared to the existing protocols with the drawback of the increase in message delay. Our simulation results with the synthetic data show that the proposed protocols have lower failure-free overhead than the existing protocols. Additionally, we show that the classical 'index-based checkpointing' protocols are inefficient in constructing the consistent global cut in distributed executions.

This paper presents a new point navigation guidance law which is useful for unmanned helicopters. Predicting the future position, the guidance law generates velocity and heading commands, which are used as input to autopilot. This method differs from conventional guidance law in that it reorients the direction of flight velocity vector directly, not by bank angle indirectly. For flight tests, we have developed a flight control system for a R/C helicopters. The system consists of a flight control computer, navigation sensors, and a ground station The results of the test show that the proposed law guides a unmanned helicopter along a line path within a given area. In the future, we are planning to extend the guidance law to the mission of path following. i.e., waypoint navigation.

Ths paper describes the transient response characteristics of the grounding systems for electric power facilities against impluse currents. In this work, when the impulse current was injected through the grounding conductor for arrester, the investigations treasuring and analyzing potential rises induced at the cormron cormection trint and other grounding conductors were conducted. The lightning impulse current was awliErl so as to simulate the on-set of arrester due to lightning surges. Measured results of impulse response characteristics from the present experinrrits are as follows;

The measure to encourage participation of ESCO business for companies with core technology may vary on the conditions of preference policy considerations. Accordingly, the three measures are can be suggested, evaluation points for incentives, loan allocated to a separate, and participation with consortium. This study recommends that the evaluation points for incentives is preferred in the ways. If the assumption that the allocation of large amounts of money, the amount of the loan allocated to a separate may be considered as suboptimal.
