GaAs-based metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs) and InP-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have good microwave and millimeter-wave frequency performance with lower minimum noise figure. MHEMTs have some advantages, especially for cost, compared with InP-based ones. In this paper, InAlAs/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs MHEMTs are simulated for DC/RF small-signal analysis. The hydrodynamic simulation parameters are calibrated to a fabricated 0.1-${\mu}m$ ${\Gamma}$-gate MHEMT device having the modulation-doped $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As$ heterostructure on the GaAs substrate, and the simulations for RF small-signal characteristics are performed, compared with the measured data, and analyzed for the devices. In addition, the simulations for the DC/RF characteristics of the MHEMTs with different gate-recess structures are performed, compared and analyzed.

Either the contraction of isolated was deferens or the increase of heart rate in the pithed rats induced by electrical stimulation was significantly augmented by cadmium administration (10 ${\mu}mols$ of cadmium acetate every other day for 2 weeks i.p.). These stimulation-induced responses were diminished by ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine, and the inhibition was antagonized by yohimbine. Furthermore, the increase in diastolic blood pressure by clonidine was also significantly reduced after cadmium administration, whereas that by methoxamine was not influenced with this dose range of cadmium. With these results it may be postulated that the long-term cadmium exposure may preferentially affect the responsiveness of the presynaptic as well as the postsynaptic ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptors.

The basic concept of functionally gradient materials (FGM) is to fabricate materials type having possibilities of applications in various fields by changing their intrinsic properties with continuous gradient. The present communication has reviewed the developments and applications of various FGMs designed for improved thermo-mechanical properties, in which the thermal protective and wear resistant materials are especially focused. Effects of thermo-mechanical properties and limits of FGMs designed for high temperature applications were mainly understood in terms of residual stress evolved from the design and fabrication. In addition, FGMs applied in structural parts were also introduced and discussed in terms of typical fabrication method for FGMs.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the new regional geography approaches that have been lively discussed in English speaking countries since 1980s. The discussion of the new regional geography is based on intellectual interchange between geographers and social theorists. The new regional geographers regard a space as a more active thing. A space is not a merely passive container. It is not a outer settings, but a essential dimention of the human being. The new regional geography has been discussed in four perspectives: structuration theory perspective, spatial division of lavour theory perspective, world-systems theory perspective, and post-poststructuralism perspective. The new regional approaches well provide a new direction to regional studies. However, it is so abstracted in concepts for the empirical examinations that it is necessary to introduce a meso-level of concept.

A sensitive competitive heterogeneous bioluminescence immunoassay for serotonin was developed using photoprotein, aequorin as a label for the first time with the optimal assay conditions; especially, serotoninavidin conjugate was prepared by Mannich reaction and the synthetic process of serotonin-avidin conjugate was optimized by controlling the initial molar ratios of serotonin, formaldehyde and avidin (1:12,000:25). The developed bioluminescence immunoassay for serotonin showed good sensitivity (LOD of 0.68 ng/mL) with wide area of dynamic range ($5.0{\times}10^{-10}\;M\sim5.0{\times}10^{-7}\;M$). (cf. the range for serotonin in human blood serum is $151{\pm}45\;ng$/mL). In addition, cross-reactivity studies demonstrated that 5-methoxytryptamine showed some cross-reactivity (28.0%), whereas 3-methylindole, melatonin and 5-hydroxylindole-3-acetic acid showed no crossreactivity, and good recoveries were obtained in serum. Thus, this developed method provides a good tool to monitor serotonin in serum.

Double skin composite (DSC) wall is a structural wall that is filed with concrete between two steel plate skins connected by tie bars. This type of wall was developed to enhance the structural performance of wall, to reduce wall thickness, and to enhance constructibility, eliminating the use of formwork and re-bars. In this study, cyclic tests were performed to investigate the inelastic behavior and earthquake resistance of isolated and coupled DSC walls with rectangular and T-shapedcross-sections. The DSC walls showed stable cyclic behaviors, exhibiting excellent energy dissipation capacity. The te st specimens failed by the tensile fracture of welded joints at the wall base and coupling beam and by the severe local buckling of the steel plate. The deformation capacity of the walls varied with the connection details at the wall base and their cross-sectional shapes. The specimens with well-detailed connections at the wall base showed relatively god deformation capacity ranging from 2.0% to 3.7% drift ratio. The load-carrying capacities of the isolated and coupled wall specimens were evaluated considering their inelastic behavior. The results were compared with the test results.

마이크로솔더링에 의한 전자기기는, 사회기능의 중추가 되는 컴퓨터, 통신 기기, 항공기 인공위성 등의 제어계를 구성하므로, 그 접속부에 대한 높은 신뢰성의 요구는 그 무엇보다 중요하다. 전자기기에 있어서의 솔더 접속부는 집과 기판의 전기 적.기계적 접속의 역할을 하고 있으며, 따라서 개개의 접속부의 파단은 전체의 불량 으로 연결된다. 실제 전자콤포넌트와 그 시스템의 단선 등의 사고에 있어서 자주 발생 하는 사고중의 하나가 솔더접속부의 단선에 의한 것이며, 그 단선중에서도 가장 보편 적이며 또한 대단히 심각한 문제로서 주목을 받고 있는 것이 솔더접속부의 열피로파단 이다. 전자기기를 사용할 때, 스위치의 on-off에 의한 power cycle과 환경의 온도변화 에 기인하는 반복열 사이클은 솔더접속부의 피로를 일으키게 되고, 결국에는 사용중에 파단을 초래하게 된다. 이러한 온도변화의 범위는 약 -55.deg. - 150.deg.C로 예상할 수 있으며, 여기서 최고온도인 150.deg.C는 Pb-Sn 공정합금의 경우 0.9Tm.p.이상의 고온에 해당한다. 이 피로는 등온적으로 또는 열사이클중에 발생하기도 한다. 솔더접 속부의 열피로수명은 대부분의 공업재료에서 나타나는 저사이클피로거동과 유사하게 발생하며, 솔더 접속부에 인가되는 열변형/응력(thermal strain/stress)의 크기에 크게 의존하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 솔더는 서로 다른 열팽창계수를 갖는 칩과 회로 기관의 두종류의 재료를 접속하기 때문에, 상기한 바와 같은 반복열사이클에 의하여 발생하는 열변형/응력이 접속부의 피로.파단을 야기시킨다. 이러한 솔더접속부에 대한 주기적인 응력/변형의 인가는 접속부에 내.외적으로 현저한 변화를 야기시키게 되고, 열피로로 연결되며 결국에는 시스템의 전기적 단선을 초래하게 된다. 또한 열피로파단 현상는 변형/응력의 크기 뿐 만아니라 솔더합금자체의 야금학적인 물성에도 크게 의존 하며, 내적.외적인 열변화에 의한 야금학적인 특성변화도 크게 영향을 미친다. 솔더 접속부의 신뢰성에 대한 연구는, 그 중요성에 비추어 볼 때, 지금까지 수많은 연구가 행하여져 왔다. 그러나 신뢰성과 관련된 열피로파단현상에 대한 야금학적인 면에서의 연구는 비교적 적은 편이다. 따라서 본 해설에서는 전자기기의 마이크로 솔더접속부 에서 발생하는 열피로파단현상에 대한 야금학적인 면에 중점을 두어 서술하고자 한다.

Recently, GPGPU has been widely used for general-purpose processing as well as graphics processing by providing optimized hardware for parallel processing. Memory system has big effects on the performance of parallel processing units such as GPU. In the GPU, hierarchical memory architecture is implemented for high memory bandwidth. Moreover, both memory address coalescing and memory request merging techniques are widely used. This paper analyzes the GPU performance according to various memory organizations. According to our simulation results, GPU performance improves by 15.5%, 21.5%, 25.5%, 30.9% as adding 8KB L1, 16KB L1, 32KB L1, 64KB L1 cache, respectively, compared to case without L1 cache. However, experimental results show that some benchmarks decrease performance since memory transaction increases due to data dependency. Moreover, average memory access latency is increased as the depth of hierarchical cache level increases when cache miss occurs significantly.

압전폴리머 PVDF(polyvinylidene difluoride)의 기판소재를 기반으로 한 디스플레이 소자를 연구하였다. 압전 폴리머 PVDF의 양면은 두께 300nm정도의 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)를 TCO(Transparent conducting oxide)로 R2R(roll to roll)증착하였으며, 이를 적외선 계열 Pulsed Laser로 상온 건식 에칭을 통해 패턴해내고, 이후 고진공 환경에서 Alq3 를 기반의 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 전기적 신호에 대해서 기계적인 작동이 가능한 투명 압전 폴리머 재료를 디스플레이 발광소자의 기판 소재로 사용함으로써, 궁극적으로 발광기능과 더불어 압전효과에 의한 스피커 기능이 한 개의 개체내에서 독립적으로 구현될 수 있도록 설계하고, 기술적으로 실현시켰다는 점이 본 연구의 의의라고 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서, 섭씨 80도 이상의 온도에서 압전 성질을 상실하는 것으로 알려진 PVDF에 대해서 투명산화전극을 레이져를 이용한 비가열식 승화방법을 통해 패턴화하는 것을 사용했으며, 밀리미터 단위에서 수십 마이크로미터 수준까지 패턴화할 수 있었다. 제작된 복합형 유연 OLED소자는 기계적으로 휘어진 상태에서도 발광 성능과 스피커 성능을 각각 독립적으로 보였으며, Alq3에 의한 녹색발광을 보임을 확인하였고, 이 경우 양자효율은 약 3%이하의 값을 보였다. 또한 각주파수별 음압(SPL: Sound Pressure Level)측정 결과는 압번폴리머가 가청주파수 영역에서 작동함을 보였으며, 고주파영역에서의 SPL값이 증가하는 전형적인 PVDF사용 필름 스피커의 특성을 보였다. 이로부터 제작된 복합형 소자는 본 연구에서 제안된 목적에서 보인 것과 같이, 두 개의 기능이 서로간의 간섭없이 독립적으로 한 개의 개체 내에서 작동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로부터 새로운 유연 전자 소자에 대한 디자인 개념을 제시하고, 기타 다른 기능이 접합된 형태의 신개념 전자 소자를 제안하는 것도 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
