The formation of Co-silicide between Co/Zr bilayer on the amorphous and crystalline Si substrates has been investigated. The films of Zr(50$\AA$) and Co(l50$\AA$) were deposited with e-beam evaporation system and were heattreated with the rapid thermal annealing system at the temperatures between 50$0^{\circ}C$ and 80$0^{\circ}C$ with 10$0^{\circ}C$ increments for 30 seconds. The phase identification of Co-silicide was carried out by XRD and the chemical analysis was examined by AES and RBS. The interface morphologies of Co/Zr bilayer films were investigated by cross sectional TEM and HRTEM. $CoSi_2$ was formed epitaxially on the crystalline Si substrate above $700^{\circ}C$ while polycrystalline $CoSi_2$ was grown on the amorphous Si substrate. The formation temperature of Co-silicide on the amorphous Si substrate was about 100 C lower than that on the crystalline Si. The COzSi phase was not identified on the both Si substrates. The formation temperature of first phase of Co-silicide on ColZr bilayer was higher than that on Co mono layer. CoSizlayer formed on the amorphous Si substrate exhibits better uniformity compared to the CoSiz formed on the crystalline substrate. The sheet resistance of CoSiz layer on crystalline Si was lower than that on the amorphous Si at high temperatures.tures.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $MnAl_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $MnAl_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $MnAl_2S_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=3.7920eV-5.2729{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+786 K)$. In order to explore the applicability as a photoconductive cell, we measured the sensitivity (${\gamma}$), the ratio of photocurrent to dark current (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD) and response time. The results indicated that the photoconductive characteristic were the best for the samples annealed in S vapour compare with in Mn, Al, air and vacuum vapour. Then we obtained the sensitivity of 0.93, the value of pc/dc of $1.10{\times}10^7$, the MAPD of 316 mW, and the rise and decay time of 14.8 ms and 12.1 ms, respectively.

Developed nations are increasingly seeking to secure competitiveness in the international market through the development of human resources of workers in high value-added industries. And what is especially important in this process is the fact that workers, employers, and concerned government agencies are participating together in building and improving workers' skills through partnerships. This is based on the perception that workers training programs conducted according to the interest of one side are difficult to bring desired results. For the past decades, Korea has focused mostly on labor-management-government partnerships and strategies for developing the human resources of workers in developed nations in Europe. Related case studies show labor-management-government partnerships in European countries established through powerful trade unions, and interested parties actively cooperate and participate in employment and training programs that benefit both workers and employers. In contrast, studies on human resource development participated by workers and employers are relatively rare in the US, the reason being the lack of a mechanism for establishing labor-management-government partnership due to the country's strong tradition of decentralization and the emphasis on market principles. However, while it is difficult to find such channels for dialogue between workers, employers, and the government in th US on the federal level, there are many regional-level or industry-level programs that tackle common problems through partnerships between interested parties. This study analyzes how the regional labor-management-government partnerships in the US work and examines the types of programs operated by investigating the One-Stop Center based on the Workforce Investment Act and the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership. While the One-Stop Center is a regional labor-management-government partnership model that is institutionally executed in each state according to the Workforce Investment Act, the WRTP is a regional labor-management -government partnership model led by the private sector. The two examples are introduced in the OECD as best practice examples of regional partnerships, and are key references to Korea's current human resource development policy.

Purpose To evaluate the effect of the emergence of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) on pediatric intussusception. Materials and Methods Patients (< 18 years) who were diagnosed with intussusception and received enema reduction from 2011 to 2020 were included. We reviewed the demographics, yearly/monthly/seasonal incidence of intussusception, method and failure rate of enema reduction, recurrence rate of intussusception, surgical record, and pathologic report. Subsequently, we investigated the differences in mean age, failure rate of enema reduction, and recurrence rate of intussusception between the cases in 2020 and those in the period from 2011 to 2019. Results A total of 859 enema reductions were performed during the past decade, more in males and in the age < 1 year (mean age, 22.2 months). The yearly incidence was highest in 2014 and lowest in 2020, and the monthly incidence was highest on December and September. The cases in 2020 (n = 27) had a lower mean age (18.1 months vs. 22.8 months), higher failure rate of enema reduction (7.4% vs. 2.4%), and higher recurrence rate of intussusception (14.8% vs 7.3%) compared with those that occurred between 2011 and 2019 (n = 832). However, these results did not show statistical significance (p = 0.07, p = 0.15, p = 0.14, respectively). Conclusion With the emergence of COVID-19, the number of enema reductions was remarkably decreased with a lower mean age, higher failure rate, and higher recurrence rate.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of push, pull and push-pull interactive factors for CFMC (Contract Foodservice Management Company)'s internationalization. The study was a quantitative study part in mixed methods (QUAL ${\rightarrow}$ quan) which was mainly qualitative study and quantitative study. Mail survey was carried out for quantitative study. For study subjects, 1,281 persons who completed 'Food Service Management Professional Program' of 'Y' University were selected as a population because the program was mainly for CFMC's workers. The analysis methods used in this study were frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 17.0. Push factors had the saturation in domestic market and the manager's purpose (fac.1) and the investment for internationalization (fac.2). Pull factors had the company's external environment for internationalization (fac.3) and the global network and spread of culture (fac.4). Push-pull interactive factors had the information about foreign market (fac.5), the procedure and budget of overseas expansion (fac.6) and the national network and size of domestic market (fac.7). Internal dynamics factors had the deterrents for internationalization (fac.8) and the enablers for internationalization (fac.9). The result showed that the company's external environment in pull factors had positive effects on the deterrents for internationalization. The global network and the spread of culture had positive effects on the enablers for internationalization. The information about foreign market in push-pull interactive factors had positive effects on the deterrents and enablers for internationalization. The national network and the size of domestic market had positive effects on the enablers for internationalization. The deterrents and enablers for internationalization had positive effects on the level of internationalization, and the deterrents had more effects on the level of internationalization than the enablers did (${\beta}$= .492 > .177).

Image segmentation is a process of partitioning of an image into different regions that have similar properties. It is an old and difficult problem. They have developed many image segmentation systems and have studied to evaluate the existing segmentation systems. However, evaluation of image segmentation systems is very difficult in nature. In this paper, we propose the evaluation criteria that evaluate image segmentation systems automatically. In order to overcome the drawbacks of using only a single evaluation criterion, we have incorporated four evaluation criteria, that is, boundary difference, boundary consistency, region uniformity, and region difference. As the experimental results show, our evaluation criteria performs very well.

최근에 데이터베이스 기술에 이은 차세대 사무업무 전산화의 핵심 기술일 뿐만 아니라 CALS/EC의 핵심기술인 워크플로우 기술에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 워크플로우 기술은 사무업무의 흐름을 자동화하기 위한 일종의 운영체계 역할을 수행하는 워크플로우 관리 시스템분야와 그 워크플로우 관리 시스템의 이론적 기반일 뿐만 아니라 사무업무의 흐름 자체를 정의하고 분석하는 워크플로우 모델 분야로 나뉘어 진다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 워크플로우 모델중의 하나인 ICN (Information Control Nets) 모델을 기반으로 하는 모델링 도구의 설계 및 구혀에 관하여 기술하였다. 본 워크플로우 모델링 도구는 자바 기반의 워크플로우 정의 및 분석 환경을 제공함으로서 컴퓨터 시스템에 의존적인 기존의 모델링 도구가 갖는 단점을 개선하였으며, 또한 ICN으로 정의된 사무업무 워크플로우를 국제표준의 워크플로우 정의 언어인 WPDL(Workflow Procedure Description Language)로 변환시킴으로써 워크플로우 관리 시스템에 독립적인 워크플로우 모델링 환경을 제공하는 것을 특징으로 한다. 결론적으로, 본 ICN 모델링 도구는 사무업무 흐름과 리엔지니어링을 위한 분석 도구로서 확장될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 분석된 결과인 사무업무 프로세스를 다른 워크플로우 관리 시스템에 직접 적용할 수 있게 하는 Streamlining 워크플로우 정의 업무의 기반이 된다.

알루미늄 박막을 코팅하기 위해서 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터 소스를 이용하였으며 빗각 증착과 외부 자기장에 의한 플라즈마 밀도 제어가 알루미늄 박막의 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 빗각 증착은 타겟과 기판이 서로 평행하지 않고 빗각을 이루도록 기판을 기울여 코팅하는 방법으로 박막의 미세구조를 제어할 수 있다. 마그네트론 스퍼터 소스 외부에 원형의 전자석을 위치시키고 직류의 전류를 인가하여 타겟 표면에서 발생하는 플라즈마 밀도를 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 알루미늄을 물리기상증착으로 코팅하면 일반적으로 주상정 구조를 갖는다. 알루미늄 박막이 주상정 구조로 이루어지면 박막의 표면 거칠기가 증가하고 밀도가 감소하는 현상을 보인다. 알루미늄을 빗각 증착으로 코팅하면 주상정 형성이 억제되어 박막의 밀도가 높아지고 표면 거칠기는 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 알루미늄의 빗각 증착 시 전자석에 인가하는 전류의 세기와 방향을 제어하여 타겟 표면의 플라즈마 밀도를 증가시키면 알루미늄 박막의 밀도가 빗각 증착만 적용했을 때보다 증가하고 비정질과 같은 박막 구조를 보이는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 전자석에 인가하는 전류의 방향을 기판 표면의 플라즈마 밀도가 증가하도록 바꾸면 알루미늄 주상정의 크기가 증가하고 기공의 크기도 증가하는 현상을 관찰하였다. 마그네트론 스퍼터 공정 시 자기장과 빗각 증착을 적절하게 이용하여 밀도가 높고 표면 거칠기가 낮은 알루미늄 박막을 코팅할 수 있었으며, 이러한 알루미늄 박막은 기능성 향상을 위한 표면처리 소재로 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

기후변화 대응을 위해 세계적으로 신 재생에너지의 분담율(penetration rate)은 갈수록 증가하고 있고, 정부에서는 2015년까지 신 재생에너지의 개발에 총 40조원을 투자한다는 적극적인 계획을 세우고 있다. 하지만 신 재생에너지 중 전력 생산에 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 풍력발전은 비급전성과 간헐성 등의 제약으로 인해 안정적인 전력을 공급하기 힘들뿐만 아니라 전력계통의 신뢰성을 악화시킬 수도 있는 리스크를 잠재하고 있는 에너지원이다. 이에 풍력발전 등 신 재생에너지원의 출력을 안정화시키기 위한 Smart Renewable 프로젝트가 현재 제주도에서 실증 단계에 있다. 이 논문에서는 한국전력 컨소시엄의 Smart Renewable 프로젝트 대상인 660kW급 풍력터빈과 200kWh급 리튬-이온 배터리 에너지저장장치를 이용하여, 풍력터빈의 출력을 평활화시키는 평활화 제어(Smoothing Control)와 일정시간동안 균일한 출력을 낼 수 있게 하는 정출력 제어(Constant Power Control)의 두 가지 기법을 시뮬레이션 하였다. t 시점의 에너지저장장치 잔존용량을 피드백 받아 t+1 시점의 풍력터빈과 에너지저장장치 합성출력의 목표치를 설정하는 잔존용량 피드백 방법을 이용하여 에너지저장장치의 운전모드, 초기 용량, 평활화 시정수(time constant) 등의 조건 변화가 평활화 제어와 정출력 제어에 미치는 영향을 각각 확인하고, 주어진 기기 조건 하에서 최적의 시정수 값과 운전모드를 도출하였다.
