We have examined post-annealing and passivation for the transparent bottom gate IGZO TFT having an inverse co-planar structure. The oxygen-vacuum two step annealing enhanced the field effect mobility up to 18 $cm^2$/Vsandthesub-threshold swing down to 0.2V/dec. However, the hysterysis and the bias stability problems could not be solved just by post-annealing. Thus, we have passivated the bottom gate IGZO TFTs with organic and inorganic materials. $Ga_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and some polymer materials were effective materials for passivations. The hysterysis and the stability of the TFTs were remarkably improved by the passivations. We have manufactured the AMOLED panel with the transparent bottom gate IGZO TFT array successfully.

A heuristic method treating a layered ocean bottom in a ray modeling is to use the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered structure, named an one-layer assumption in this paper. We examine the validity of one-layer assumption in the case of two-layered ocean bottom, and obtain a simple inequality condition depending on the sound speed ratio, the ratio of layer thickness to source-receiver range, and the grazing angle of first reflected ray. From this inequality condition, it is shown that an one-layer assumption can be applicable to ray propagation problems at mid frequencies. Finally, numerical experiments are performed in the ocean environment similar to the East Sea in Korea. Incoherent transmission loss is calculated by the geometrical beam model with the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered ocean bottom and compared with the result of SNUPE 2.0, which is a parabolic equation package developed in Seoul National University.

There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility and task planning to adapt in various uneven environments. In this paper, we propose the design method and task planning of quadruped robot which can have top-bottom docking structure. The proposed quadruped robot is designed to adjust leg length using linear actuators and perform top-bottom docking and undocking using octagonal cone shaped docking module. Also, to stable walking and information gathering in the various environments, a geomagnetic sensor, PSD sensor, LRF sensor and camera. We propose an obstacle avoidance method and the topbottom docking algorithm of the two quadruped robots using linear actuator. The robot can overcome obstacles using adjusting leg length and activate the top-bottom docking function. The top-bottom docking robots of two quadruped robot can walk 4 legged walking and 6 legged walking, and use 4 arms or 2 arms the upper. We verified that the docking robots can carry objects using 4 leg of the upper robot.

3.5KHz subbottom profiling systems are useful for delineating of shallow (up to 10~100m below the sea bottom) geological structure. These systems are generally used to image geological structures with less than 1m of vertical resolution. However swell in the sea is quite often higher than 1m, causing degradation in the quality of the 3.5KHz subbottom profiles. In this paper, we show the quality of digitally recorded data can be enhanced by the suppression of swell effect. Prior to suppression of swell effect, sea bottom detection procedure was applied using the characteristics that the amplitude of sea bottom reflection is high. To suppress the swell effect, we applied moving average method and high-cut filtering method using the extracted water depth of adjacent traces. Acceptable results were obtained from both methods. In the case of bad quality data or shallow data interfered with direct wave, the suppression of swell effect is difficult due to incorrect sea bottom detection.

The threshold voltage roll-off for an asymmetric junctionless double gate MOSFET is analyzed according to the top and bottom gate oxide thicknesses. In the asymmetric structure, the top and bottom gate oxide thicknesses can be made differently, so that the top and bottom oxide thicknesses can be adjusted to reduce the leakage current that may occur in the top gate while keeping the threshold voltage roll-off constant. An analytical threshold voltage model is presented, and this model is in good agreement with the 2D simulation value. As a result, if the thickness of the bottom gate oxide film is decreased while maintaining a constant threshold voltage roll-off, the top gate oxide film thickness can be increased, and the leakage current that may occur in the top gate can be reduced. Especially, it is observed that the increase of the bottom gate oxide thickness does not affect the threshold voltage roll-off.

The change of subthreshold swing for channel length of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET has been analyzed. The subthreshold swing is the important factor to determine digital chracteristics of transistor and is degraded with reduction of channel. The subthreshold swing for channel length of the DGMOSFET developed to solve this problem is investigated for channel thickness, oxide thickness, top and bottom gate voltage and doping concentration. Especially the subthreshold swing for asymmetric DGMOSFET to be able to be fabricated with different top and bottom gate structure is investigated in detail for bottom gate voltage and bottom oxide thickness. To obtain the analytical subthreshold swing, the analytical potential distribution is derived from Possion's equation, and Gaussian distribution function is used as doping profile. As a result, subthreshold swing is sensitively changed according to top and bottom gate voltage, channel doping concentration and channel dimension.

In recent years, floating offshore wind turbines have attracted more attention as a new renewable energy resource while bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines reach their limit of water depth. Various projects have been proposed with the rapid increase in installed floating wind power capacity, but the economic aspect remains as a biggest issue. To figure out sensible approaches for saving costs, a comparison analysis of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) between floating and bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines was carried out. The LCOE was reviewed from a social perspective and a cost breakdown and a literature review analysis were used to itemize the costs into its various components in each level of power plant and system integration. The results show that the highest proportion in capital expenditure of a floating offshore wind turbine results in the substructure part, which is the main difference from a bottom-fixed wind turbine. A floating offshore wind turbine was found to have several advantages over a bottom-fixed wind turbine. Although a similarity in operation and maintenance cost structure is revealed, a floating wind turbine still has the benefit of being able to be maintained at a seaport. After emphasizing the cost-reduction advantages of a floating wind turbine, its LCOE outlook is provided to give a brief overview in the following years. Finally, some estimated cost drivers, such as economics of scale, wind turbine rating, a floater with mooring system, and grid connection cost, are outlined as proposals for floating wind LCOE reduction.

The L-bending of inner-structure bonded sandwich sheet metal is examined to reduce springback and defects of bent parts. The specimen is composed of top and bottom layers and a middle layer with dimple type-inner-structure and each layer is bonded by resistance welding. This specimen with hollow type-inner-structure shows different bending characteristics from the conventional sandwich sheet metals with solid type-inner-structure. The experiments were conducted for two kinds of working conditions, that is, clearance and movement of first bent specimen for second bending. The deformed profile, bend angle and springback were investigated and compared and then the proper working conditions for L-bending of sandwich sheet metal were prosed.

A new type of earthquake resilient reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure, installed with replaceable coupling beams and replaceable corner components at the bottom of wall piers, is proposed in this study. At first, the mechanical behavior of replaceable components, such as combined dampers and replaceable corner component, is studied by cyclic loading tests on them. Then, cycling loading tests are conducted on one conventional coupled shear wall and one new type of coupled shear wall with replaceable components. The test results indicate that the damage of the new type of coupled shear wall concentrates on replaceable components and the left parts are well protected. Finally, a case study is introduced. The responses of one conventional frame-tube structure and one new type of structure installed with replaceable components under the wind and the earthquake are compared, which verify that the performance of new type of structure is much better than the conventional structure.

Seven new species of genus Dysidea (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida: Dysideidae) are described from Jejudo Island and Geomundo Island, Korea. These new species are compared with other reported species in fibre structure and arrangement, and cored detritus. Dysidea reticulum n. sp. is similar to D. glavea in skeletal structure but differ in sponge shape. Dysidea simplex n. sp. is close to D. glavea with loosely arranged skeletal structure but fibres in this new species are not cored with large sands. Dysidea pyeongdaensis n. sp. is characterized by tube-like surface oscules open toward the sandy bottom. Dysidea capillus n. sp. is similar to D. dokdoensis in skeletal structure, but differs in long surface conules. Dysidea mukriensis n. sp. is close to D. corallina in distinct dense surface conules, but differs in sponge shape and skeletal structure. Dysidea membrana n. sp. is similar to D. sabulum in primary fibres cored with numerous large sands, but differs in sponge surface conules and secondary fibres. Dysidea chujaensis n. sp. is unique in the sponge shape and skeletal structure.
