In this paper characteristics of ATM-PON is described and a TC layer controller for ATM-PON OLT is designed. This paper proposes an algorithm of economically controlling the grant information written by CPU to dynamically allocate the upstream bandwidth on the PON among the ONUs in a fair way and of encrypting the downstream data using a lower standard of encryption, termed data churning, which is used to distinguish it from existing transmission system scramblers and higher layer encryption methods. This paper also proposes a method of allocating churning-related message into the PLOAM cell in order to synchronously change the churning key between the OLT and the ONU.

EDM is the manufacturing process that uses the thermal energy to machine electrically conductive part. Despite a lot of research has been conducted for decades, the best aspect ratio of the micro hole using micro-EDM has not been over 30, yet. In the present study, new fabrication scheme was introduced to increase the aspect ratio of micro hole dramatically. Micro holes with less than 10 aspect ratio were aligned and welded together to manufacture a micro hole with extreme aspect ratio. Alignment of the micro hole with over 380 aspect ratio was conducted by the home-made apparatus installed with microscope and laser beam. The micro hole with extreme aspect ratio was used to shape pencil beam from proton beam generated from MC-50 cyclotron. The pencil beam was utilized to machine test specimen whose result was compared with GEANT4 computer simulation. It was shown that the experimental and simulation result were closer as the aspect ratio of the micro hole was bigger.

Next generation mobile communication system will have various access networks and provide seamless multimedia data service to mobile nodes. The WiNGS system, one of these access network, has superior RAT(Radio Access Technology) and network connectivity other than previous ones. In this paper, we propose link-layer SR-ARQ between mobile node and WAGW to solve packet re-ordering problem during handover. In the proposed scheme, we apply the adaptive timer at the SR-ARQ sender to reduce unnecessary packet retransmission during handoff and delayed NAK algorithm at the SR-ARQ receiver for delaying NAK response due to temporary out-of-sequenced frames. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by implementing the new SR-ARQ protocol at the link-layer using ns-2 simulator, and show the handover performance is improved greatly by preventing unnecessary retransmission.

ZnO는 3.37 eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 투명 전도성 반도체이며 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 인해 광원소자 개발을 위한 새로운 물질로 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 더욱이, ZnO는 쉽게 나노구조 형성이 가능하기 때문에 이를 응용한 가스센서, 염료감응태양전지, 광검출기 등의 소자 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 최근에는 GaN 기반 발광다이오드 (light emitting diode, LED)의 광추출 효율을 향상시키기 위한 ZnO 나노구조 응용에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. GaN 기반 LED의 경우 반도체 물질과 공기 사이의 높은 굴절률 차이로 인하여 낮은 광추출 효율을 나타낸다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 표면 roughening, texturing 등 에칭공정을 이용해 광추출 효율을 개선하려는 연구들이 보고되고 있으나, 복잡한 공정과정을 필요로 하고 에칭공정에 의한 소자 표면 손상으로 전기적 특성이 나빠질 수 있다. 반면 전기화학증착법으로 성장된 ZnO 나노구조를 이용할 때, 보다 간단한 방법으로 쉽고 빠르게 나노구조를 형성할 수 있고 낮은 공정온도를 가지기 때문에 소자의 전기적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 수직방향으로 잘 정렬된 ZnO 나노구조를 갖는 LED의 경우 내부 Fresnel 반사 손실을 효과적으로 줄여 발광 효율을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서, ZnO 나노구조의 성장제어 및 성장특성을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 ITO glass 위에 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. ITO glass 기판 위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 사용하여 Al 도핑된 ZnO (AZO)를 얇게 증착한 후 전기화학증착법으로 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하였다. 농도, 인가전압, 공정시간 등 다양한 공정조건을 변화시키면서 성장 메커니즘을 분석하였고, scanning electron microscope (SEM) 및 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 통하여 구조 및 결정성 등을 분석하였다. 또한, UV-Visible-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 투과율을 실험적으로 측정하여 ZnO 나노구조의 광학적 특성을 분석하였고, rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) 방법을 사용하여 계면에서 발생하는 내부 반사율을 계산함으로써 나노구조의 효과를 이론적으로 분석하였다.

With increasingly strict requirements for advanced energy storage devices in electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary energy storage systems (EES), the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high power density and safety has become an urgent task. Because the performance of LIBs is determined primarily by the physicochemical characteristics of its electrode material, TiO₂, owing to its excellent stability, high safety levels, and environmentally friendly properties, has received significant attention as an alternative material for the replacement of commercial carbon-based anode materials. In particular, self-organized TiO₂ micro and nanostructures prepared by anodization have been intensively investigated as promising anode materials. In this review, the mechanism for the formation of anodic TiO₂ nanotubes and microcones and the parameters that influence their morphology are described. Furthermore, recent developments in anodic TiO₂-based composites as anode electrodes for LIBs to overcome the limitations of low conductivity and specific capacity are summarized.

Purpose of this study is to analyze the roles and strategies of imagistic simulation observed in mental simulation about problematic situation of prediction, and thereby identify the process of generating prediction, explanation and sophistication. For this study, a framework for mental simulation process and strategy based on literary research was developed and content was validated from four experts of science education. This study was participated by 10 preliminary elementary school teachers, and a total of 20 cases were gathered for two thought experiment tasks based on the think-aloud method. The results were as follows: First, mental simulation process described based on the seven elements of 'perception,' 'interpretation,' 'statement of initial representation,' 'running imagistic simulation,' 'identifying result of simulation,' 'identifying alignment' and 'restatement structured representation.' The study confirmed that initial representation by interpreting related concepts and running imagistic simulation a number of times to develop explanation and prediction. Second, the study identified the use of strategies to enhance simulation such as 'zoom in,' 'partition,' 'dimensional enhancement,' 'dimensional reduction,' 'remove,' 'replace' and 'extreme case.' Running spatial transformation that uses strategy to enhance simulation contributed to discovering mechanism elements in problematic situations.

The aim of this study was to show the antioxidant properties of chestnut (Castanea crenata) bur extracts fermented by Lactobacillus casei. The chestnut has been used as a cosmetic material in Korea for many years. This study showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were inhibited by the fermentation materials of chestnut bur extracts. The antioxidant activities were analyzed and expressed as EDA, ABTS, reducing power, SOD-like activity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, and nitric oxide scavenging ability. The antioxidant activities of fermentation materials from L. casei of chestnut bur extracts were higher than those of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and ascorbic acid (AA). Therefore, we expect that fermentation materials from L. casei of chestnut bur extracts are valuable resources as natural antioxidants and functional cosmetics ingredients.

S&OP(Sales and Operations Planning) is an ongoing process of periodic planning, reviewing, and evaluation through the involvement of all key stakeholders. Within this process, performance is regularly reviewed and early warning signals are generated, so that the company can react quickly to changing market and operational environment. This paper presents a framework for effective S&OP for fair alignment, accountability, teamwork, visibility, and risk management. This framework focuses on supply chain information governance, level of information sharing through S&OP, role of S&OP as coordination mechanism, APS effectivesness as a planning tool and SCM performance. In addition, a brief case study on the operating characteristics of S&OP at three Korean firms is presented. Implications of the study finding are also provided. It will also make companies that are considering the introduction of S&OP aware of the importance of S&OP, which will provide practical guidelines for the introduction of S&OP.
