The specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions in various models of the human head have been analyzed when the models are exposed to 350 MHz and 900 MHz plane waves. The numerical analysis is performed with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A homogeneous sphere including a cylinderical neck, a homogeneous head shaped model, and a heterogeneous realistic model are used as models of human head. The incident plane wave used for these calculations is propagating from the front to the back or from the back to the front of the head model, with its E-field vector orientation being parallel to the major length of the body. The specific findings are: 1) the average SARs of the three models are similar mutually but the local SARs of them differ greatly mutually; 2) the power is deposed more deeply in the head at 350 MHz, which is roughly the resonant frequency of a human head, than at 900 MHz; 3) for a plane wave propagating from the back, "hot spot" is found in the neck region, not in the head; 4) for a plane wave propagating from the front, "hot spot" is found in the nose at 900 MHz, and in the upper part of the lip and the jaw region at 350 MHz.

High frequency ultrasound imaging typically suffers from low sensitivity due to the small aperture of high frequency transducers and shallow imaging depth due to the frequency-dependent attenuation of ultrasound. These limitations should be overcome to obtain high-frequency, high- resolution ultrasound images. One practical solution to the problems is a high-performance signal receiver capable of detecting a very small signal and amplifying the signal with minimal electronic noise addition. This paper reports a recently developed low-noise, wideband ultrasound receiver for high-frequency, high-resolution ultrasound imaging. The developed receiver has an amplification gain of up to 73 dB and a variable amplification gain range of 48 dB over an operating frequency of 80 MHz. Also, it has an amplification gain flatness of ${\pm}1dB$. Due to these high performances, the developed receiver has a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 8.4 dB and a contrast-to-noise ratio of at least 3.7 dB higher than commercial receivers.

This study was conducted to propose a reasonable requirement regulation of cutoff barriers composed of bottom layer and vertical barrier of offshore landfill for the prevention of contaminant leakage. The bottom layer was composed of impermeable clay layer; vertical walls were composed of double walls; outer wall was composed of steel sheet pile which registed against outer force; cutoff vertical barrier took the role of inner wall. Seepage-advection-dispersion numerical analysis was conducted using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W programs under steady and unsteady flows. The results showed that the values calculated under steady flow showed higher migration of pollutant than those of unsteady flow. The values calculated under steady flow are more valid from a design point of view. Under steady flow and the bottom clay layer and when the vertical barrier are homogeneous and completely well installed, respectively, the minimum required cutoff regulations for hydraulic conductivity, thickness, and embedded depth of the bottom clay layer and vertical barrier were suggested.

The objective of this study was to compare the microleakage of five adhesive systems in the enamel and dentin of permanent teeth. Class V cavity preparations with occlusal margins in enamel and gingival margins in dentin were prepared on both buccal and lingual surfaces of 25 extracted human molar teeth. The tested adhesives were: Adper Scotchbond Multi-purpose Plus Adhesive (SM), Adper Single bond 2 (SB), Clearfil SE Bond (SE), Adper Prompt L-Pop (PL) and G-Bond (GB). The results were as follows: 1. At the enamel margins, PL showed the highest leakage value(0.85), and others showed values of SB(0.55), GB(0.50), SM(0.35) and SE(0.25) in decreasing order. There were statistically significant differences in PL vs. SM and PL vs. SE(p<0.05). 2. At the dentin margins, GB showed the highest leakage value(2.10), and others showed values of SE(1.45), PL(1.40), SB(1.05), SM(0.70) in decreasing order. There were statistically significant differences in GB vs. SB and GB vs. SM(p<0.05). 3. Dentin margins showed high dye penetration rate than enamel margins in all material tested groups and there were statistically significant differences for SE, PL and GB.

Rainfall-induced landslides are caused by reduction of effective stress and shear strength due to rainfall infiltration. In order to analyze the susceptibility of landslides, the statistical analysis approach has been used widely but this approach has the limitation which cannot take into account of landslide triggering mechanism. Therefore, the physically based model which can consider the process of landslide occurrence was proposed and commonly used. However, the most previous physically based model analyses evaluate and consider the strength characteristics for saturated soil only in the susceptibility analysis. But the strength parameters for unsaturated soil such as matric suction should be considered with the strength parameters for saturated soil since the shear strength in unsaturated soil also plays important role in the stability of slope. Consequently this study suggested the modified physically based slope model which can evaluate strength characteristics for both of saturated and unsaturated soils. In addition, this study evaluated the thickness of saturated part in slope with rainfall intensity and hydraulic characteristics of slope on the basis of physically based model. In order to evaluate the feasibility, the proposed model was applied to practical example in Jinbu area, Gangwon-do, which was experienced large amount of landslides in July 2006. The ROC graph analysis was used to evaluate the validation of the model, and the analysis results were compared with the results of the previous analysis approach.

This study aims to empirically and statistically predict soil depths across areas affected by landslides. Using soil depth measurements from a landslide area in Korea, two sets of soil depths are calculated using a Z-model based on terrain elevation and a probabilistic statistical model. Both sets of calculation results are applied to derive landslide risk using the saturated infiltration depth ratio of the soil layer. This facilitates analysis of the infiltration of rainfall into soil layers for a rainfall event. In comparison with the probabilistic statistical model, the Z-model yields soil depths that are closer to measured values in the study area. Landslide risk assessment in the study area based on soil depth predictions from the two models shows that the percentage of first-grade landslide risk assessed using soil depths from the probabilistic statistical model is 2.5 times that calculated using soil depths from the Z-model. This shows that soil depths directly affect landslide risk assessment; therefore, the acquisition and application of local soil depth data are crucial to landslide risk analysis.

We have investigated the surface characteristics of n-GaAs (100) treated with Ar plasma (40 W, 5~120 sec) by photoreflectance (PR) measurement. With increasing Ar plasma treatment time, the intensity of $E_0$ peak observed to the minimum at 5 sec. The surface electric field ($E_0$), net carrier concentration ($N_P-N_A$), and surface state density ($Q_{SS}$ are $1.05{\times}10^5V/cm$ and $1.31{\tiems}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ and $1.64{\times}10^{-7}C/m^2$, respectively. These values were about 57.1, 81.4 and 56.9% smaller than those of bulk n-GaAs. On the other hand, the concentration of compensation centers ($N_A$) was maximum with value of $5.75{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ at 5 sec. And penetration depth of defects generated after treated with Ar plasma was about 450 $\AA$ from surface.

This paper introduces the eddy current signal characteristic of magnetic and non-magnetic gas turbine rotor. In the past, Magnetic particle inspection method was used in magnetic material for qualitative defect evaluation and the ultrasonic test method was used for quantitative evaluation. Nowadays, eddy current method is used in magnetic gas turbine rotor inspection due to advanced sensor design technology. We are studying on the magnetic gas turbine rotor by using eddy current method. We prepared diverse depth specimens made by magnetic and non-magnetic materials. We select optimum frequency according to material standard penetration data and experiment results. We got the signal on magnetic and non-magnetic material about 0.2 mm, 05 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm depth defects and compare the signal amplitude and signal trend according to defect depth and frequency. The results show that signal amplitudes of magnetic are bigger than non-magnetic material and the trends are similar on every defect depth and frequency. The detection and resolution capabilities of eddy current are more effective in magnetic material than in non-magnetic materials. So, the eddy current method is effective inspection method on magnetic gas turbine rotor. And it has the merits of time saving and simple procedure by elimination of the ultrasonic inspection in traditional inspection method.

우리나라 면적의 약 67%에 이르는 660만ha의 산림 중 침엽수림은 혼효림을 포함하여 약 74%를 차지해 활엽수림보다 넓게 분포하고 있다. 이와 같이 넓은 산림은 가뭄, 홍수와 같은 수문현상과 관련이 있으며 강우에 따른 유출에의 기여하는 바가 클 뿐만 아니라 강우, 증발산, 침투 유출에 이르는 다양한 수문현상이 복합적으로 나타난다. 특히, 최근 임목밀도의 증가가 오히려 증발산량의 증가, 옆면에 의한 강우 차단량의 증가 등을 발생시켜 가뭄과 홍수 또는 산사태의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 수자원 함양을 저해하는 요소로 작용하고 있다는 우려의 목소리가 나오고 있다. 따라서 산림지역의 증발산과 관련 있는 토양수분의 지속적인 모니터링과 감쇄특성 및 토양수분 환경에 대한 연구는 중요한 요소 연구가 될 수 있다. 봄에서 여름으로 진행되는 시기에는 강우발생에 비해 수목의 생육이 활발하여 증발산에 따른 토양수분 변화 및 감소가 급격하게 일어나며, 여름에는 토양수분의 감소도 뚜렷한 반면, 강우사상도 많이 발생하여 이에 따른 변화폭이 크게 나타난다. 또한, 가을에서 겨울로 진행되는 시기에는 수목의 생육의 둔화와 기온 하강으로 인하여 토양수분 감쇄현상 및 변화가 적게 나타나 토양수분의 변화양상이 계절마다 다르게 나타난다. 이에 토양수분의 감쇄현상을 파악하면 곧 산림지역에서의 증발산량 및 토양수분 소비특성을 파악할 수 있기 때문에, 산림에서 실제 토양수분 모니터링과 이를 통한 시간별, 깊이별 토양수분 변화 및 감쇄현상을 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 침엽수 산림에서의 토층별 월별 토양수분의 감쇄특성을 분석하기 위하여 침엽수림에서 토양수분 장기 모니터링 시스템을 구축하여 시간별, 토층별 토양수분 모니터링을 실시하고, 이를 바탕으로 침엽수림에서의 토양수분 감쇄현상을 분석하였다. 또한 토양수분 데이터 및 기상자료를 활용하여 월별, 기간별 토양수분 감쇄곡선을 산정하고 감쇄상수를 비교하였으며, 감쇄특성에 대하여 비교 분석하였다.
