Al doped ZnO(AZO) films as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrode were deposited on glass, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at room temperature by a conventional rf-magneton sputtering (CMS) and a facing target sputtering (FTS) using Al2O3 and ZnO targets. In order to investigation of AZO properties, the structural, surface morphology, electrical, and optical characteristics of AZO films were respectively analyzed. The resistivities of AZO films using FTS system were $6.50{\times}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on glass, $7.0{\times}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on PEN, and $7.4{\times}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on PET substrates, while the values of AZO films using CMS system were $7.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on glass, $1.20{\times}10-3{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on PEN, and $1.58{\times}10-3{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ on PET substrates. The AZO-films deposited by FTS system showed uniform surface compared to those of the films by CMS system. We thought that the films deposited by FTS system had low stress due to bombardment of high energetic particles during CMS process, resulted in enhanced electrical conductivity and crystalline quality by highly c-axis preferred orientation and closely packed nano-crystalline of AZO films using FTS system.

Using a target detection task, this study compared the processing automaticity of phonemes and features in spoken syllable stimuli to determine the primitive representation in speech perception, phoneme or distinctive feature. For this, we modified the visual search task(Treisman et al., 1992) developed to investigate the processing of visual features(ex. color, shape or their conjunction) for auditory stimuli. In our task, the distinctive features(ex. aspiration or coronal) corresponded to visual primitive features(ex. color and shape), and the phonemes(ex. /$t^h$/) to visual conjunctive features(ex. colored shapes). The automaticity is measured by the set size effect that was the increasing amount of reaction time when the number of distracters increased. Three experiments were conducted. The laryngeal features(experiment 1), the manner features(experiment 2), and the place features(experiment 3) were compared with phonemes. The results showed that the distinctive features are consistently processed faster and automatically than the phonemes. Additionally there were differences in the processing automaticity among the classes of distinctive features. The laryngeal features are the most automatic, the manner features are moderately automatic and the place features are the least automatic. These results are consistent with the previous studies(Bae et al., 2002; Bae, 2010) that showed the perceptual hierarchy of distinctive features.

At ship design stage, the maneuverability is generally estimated based on the empirical formula or the computational fluid dynamic (CFD), which is one of the numerical simulation methods. Using the hydrodynamic derivatives derived through these methods can quantitatively estimate the maneuverability of target vessels and evaluate indirect maneuverability. Nevertheless, research on estimating maneuverability is insufficient for ships not subject to IMO maneuverability standard, especially fishing vessels, and even at the design stage, the empirical formula developed for merchant ships is applied without modification. An estimation error may occur due to the empirical formula derived from the regression analysis results of a model test if the empirical formula developed for merchant ships with different hull shapes is applied to fishing vessels without any modification. In this study, the modified empirical formula that can more accurately estimate the fishing vessel's maneuverability was derived by including the hull shape parameter of target fishing trawlers in the regression analysis process that derives Kijima et al. (1990) formula. As a result, the modified empirical formula showed an average estimation error of 6%, and the result improved the average error of 49% of Kijima et al. (1990) formula developed for merchant ships.

Ti-Al-Si target and Cr-Si target are sputtered alternately to develop a multi-layered nitride coating on a steel mold to improve die-casting lifetime. Prior to the multi-layer deposition, a CrN layer is developed as a buffer layer on the mold to suppress the diffusion of reactive elements and enhance the cohesive strength of the multi-layer deposition. Approximately 50 nm CrSiN and TiAlSiN layers are deposited layer by layer, and form about three ㎛-thickness of multi-layered coating. From the observation of the uncoated and coated steel molds after the acceleration experiment of liquid metal injection casting, the uncoated mold is severely eroded by the adhesion of molten metallic glass. On the other hand, the multi-layer coating on the mold prevents element diffusion from the metallic glass and mold erosion during the experiment. The multi-layer structure of the coating transforms the nano-composite structured coating during the acceleration test. Since the nano-composite structure disrupts element diffusion to molten metallic glass, despite microstructure changes, the coating is not eroded by the 1,050 ℃ molten metallic glass.

The activation method of metallic foils is an important technique to measure the flux and energy of proton beams. In this paper, the method was used to measure the CSNS APEP proton flux at seven nominal proton energies ranging from 10 MeV to 70 MeV for beam spot sizes of the 20 mm × 20 mm and 50 mm × 50 mm. The reactions of ^natTi(p, x)⁴⁸V, ^natNi(p, x)⁵⁷Ni, ^natCu(p, x)⁵⁸Co, and ²⁷Al(p, x)²⁴Na were employed to measure the proton beam flux with a range of 10⁷-10⁹ p/cm²/s. Furthermore, we also proposed a method using the activity ratio with a stacked-foil target to determine the energy spread of a Gaussian-like distribution for different nominal proton energies. The optimal combinations of Al, Cu, Ti, Ni, Mo, Fe, Nb, and In foils were adopted for the proton energies. The measured energy spreads for degraded beams of 30 MeV-70 MeV were found to be smaller than 10.00%.

Recently, a target detection based on a distributed sensor network has been much studied in active sonar. Zhou et al. proposed a target localization method using line fitting based on a distributed sensor network which consists of low complexity sensors that only report binary detection results. This method has three advantages relative to ML estimator. First, there is no need to estimate propagation model parameters. Second, the computation is simple. Third, it only use sensors with "detection", which implies less data to be collected by data processing center. However, this method has larger target localization error than the ML estimator. In this paper, a target localization method which modifies Zhou's method is proposed for reducing the localization error. The modified method shows the performance improvement that the target localization error is reduced by 40.7% to Zhou's method in the point of RMSE.

In this study, we investigated the effect of threshold on a delivered dose in organ with internal motion by respiration. With mathematic model for 3D dose calculation reported by Lujan et al., we had calculated the position of organ as a function of time in previous study. This result presented that the variation of organ is within 2 mm from initial exhale position to the organ position during operating 1 s. Gating threshold, in this study, is determined to the moving region of target during 1s at a primary position of exhale. This period of gating threshold is 50% of the duty cycle in a half breathing cycle which is period from the top position of exhalation to the bottom position of inhalation. Radiation fields were then delivered under three conditions; 1) existent of moving target in the region of threshold(1sec, 1.5sec), 2) existent of moving target out of the region of threshold, 3) non-moving target. The non-moving target delivery represents a dose different induced due to internal organ motion.

As an advanced study on the method of calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks through the leakage component analysis method proposed by Kim et al. (2022), this study developed a model to calculate the achievable revenue water ratio within the specified project cost, the required project cost to achieve the specified target revenue water ratio, and the economically appropriate target revenue water ratio level by considering the leakage reduction cost and leakage reduction benefit for each revenue water ratio improvement strategy, and conducted an applicability evaluation of the developed model using actual field data. The procedure for calculating the target revenue water ratio of local waterworks considering economics proposed in this study consists of three stages: physical data linkage model construction, leakage component analysis, and economic analysis, and the applicability was evaluated for Zone H with branch type and the Zone M network type. As a result of the application, it was calculated that approximately 32.5 billion won would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 70% in the Zone H, and approximately KRW 10.5 billion would be required to achieve the target revenue water ratio of 75% in the Zone M. If the business scale of Zones H and M was corrected to 10,000 m³/day of water usage, the required project cost for a 1% improvement in the revenue water ratio of Zone H was calculated to be 0.7642 billion won and 0.4715 billion won for Zone M.

투명전극은 디스플레이, 태양전지와 같은 광전자 소자에 필수적이며, 지금까지 개발된 재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기전도도가 높고 생산성도 좋기 때문에 투명전극의 재료로 사용하고 있다. ITO는 낮은 비저항(${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) 과 높은 투과율 (~85 %), 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭 에너지 (3.5 eV) 의특성과 같이 뛰어난 전기적 광학적 특성에 반해서 높은 원자재 가격, 불안정한 공급량 등으로 인한 문제점이꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 $In_2O_3$:Sn, ZnO:Al, ZnO:Ga, ZnO:F, ZnO:B, TiN 등과 같은 물질들로대체하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ZnO는 ITO보다원자재의 수급이 원활하기 때문에 원가가 낮으며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서도 제작이 가능하다. 또한 화학적으로 안정적이므로 ZnO에 Al, Ga 등의 3족 원소를 도핑함으로써 낮은 비저항의 박막 제작이 가능하고, ITO 박막과 비교하여 etching이 쉬우며 기판과의 접착성이 좋으며, sputtering 공정시 plasma 분위기에서의 안정성이 뛰어나고 박막증착율이 높기 때문에 투명전극으로 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 cylindrical type의 Aldoping된 ZnO single target을 사용하여 박막 증착 압력의 변화를 주어 유리기판 위에 DC sputtering을 하였다. Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)을 통해 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 투명전극용 물질로서 ZnO:Al 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용하여 박막의 비저항, 전자 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 박막의 기계적 성질 및 표면 접착성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indentaion 분석을 하였다. 또한 UV-vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 ZnO:Al 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 투명전극으로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, an electromagnetic pulse shielding effect was obtained by applying the arc metal spraying method to the ordinary concrete. For this study, to evaluate the electrical properties in the thickness of the metal sprayed coating, 8 types of metals(Cu, CuAl, CuNi, CuZn, Al, Zn, ZnAl, AlMg) were sprayed as coatings with a thickness of 100, 200 and 500㎛. The electrical conductivity on the surface was measured with a 4-pin probe, and an electromagnetic wave shielding effect test was performed according to KS. Based on the test results, 200 ㎛ was proposed as an optimal metal coating thickness for electromagnetic pulse shielding, and it was thermally sprayed on a 300×300×100mm concrete specimen to analyze the electromagnetic wave shielding performance. However, in the area of adhesion strength, the maximum was 1.11MPa, which was found to be less than 74% of the target performance.
