This paper presents a new 3.3-1 V synchronous buck DC/DC converter that employs CMOS operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) as circuit-building blocks. An error amplifier OTA in a PWM circuit is compensated for to improve temperature stability. The temperature coefficient of the transconductance gain of the compensated OTA is less than $150\;ppm/^{\circ}C\;over\;0-100^{\circ}C$. The HSPICE simulation results of the $0.3{\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology show that the efficiency of the proposed converter is as high as 80% in the load current range of 40-125 mA. These results show that the proposed converter is adequate for use in battery-operated systems.

A lot of educators claim that the open education should be performed in elementary classroom, but it is true that they do not suggest the specific direction of practicing open education in case of mathematics subject. Although a project lesson is recommended, there is little case that suggests the direction of practice and the evaluation method of project lesson. Therefore this study searchs for the possibility of practicing open education in elementary mathematics classroom by reviewing the portfolio assessment and suggesting the specific case of applying the portfolio assessment to project lesson. A portfolio is a folder in which is recording solution process, student's self reflection, and teacher's comment, about topics and problems more than one. Students can see their own varying aspects and recognize their own merits and demerits, sincerities, and potentialities by portfolio assessment. Futheremore, teacher can both grasp the student's cognitive situation and give them the professional advice about the cognitive development. That is, they can perform the instruction underlining the learner's ability and personality, by identifying what Vygotsky calls 'the proximal zone of development' through portfolio assessment. Consequently, portfolio assessment is an alternative evaluation method for integrating process and product of learning, and can be used as an important tool for developing the learner's potential possibility of self-realization.

The energy band method for NaI spectrum calculates only the exposure rate due to natural radiation because it calculates exposure rate using energy spectrum of $1300{\sim}3000keV$. However, the total energy method includes in its calculation the exposure rate due to man-made radiation because it uses the energy spectrum of $150{\sim}3400keV$. Therefore, the resulting difference of extracting the exposure rate calculated by the energy band method from the exposure rate calculated by the total energy method is apparently the exposure rate due to man-made radiation. In this study, we measured the NaI spectrum during the period of significant changes of the exposure rate in the area without a man-made radiation. As the results, we found the exposure rates calculated by those two methods are equal within the statistical variation of ${\pm}0.3{\mu}R\;h^{-1}$. Consequently, if the difference between the exposure rates calculated by the two methods exists, it may be due to the man-made radiation exposure rate.

The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of environmental impact assessment(EIA) and to suggest new EIA technology. The problems of EIA in Korea can be summarized as follows. First, the EIA does not reflect the impact of policy, plan and program on environment. Second, the project EIA does not consider the cumulative impacts such as additive impacts, synergistic impacts, threshold/saturation impacts, induced and indirect impacts, time-crowded impacts, and space-crowded impacts. Third, the EIA techniques in Korea are not standardized. Finally, the present EIA suggests only alternatives to reduce adverse impacts. To solve above-mentioned problems, the development of new EIA technology is essential. First, the new EIA technology should be developed toward pollution prevention technology and comprehensive and integrated environmental management technology. Second, new fields of EIA for pollution prevention contain strategic environmental assessment, cumulative impacts assessment, socio-economic impact assessment, cyber EIA and EIA technology necessary after the reunification of Korean Peninsula. Third, EIA technology for integrated environmental management contains the development of integated environment assessment system and the development of packaged EIA technology. The EIA technology for integrated environmental assessment system contains (1) development of integrated impact assessment technology combining air/water quality model, GIS and remote sensing, (2) integrated impact assessment of EIA, traffic impact assessment, population impact assessment and disaster impact assessment. (3) development of integrated technology combining risk assessment and EIA (4) development of integrated technology of life cycle assessment and EIA, (5) development of integrated technology of spatial planning and EIA, (6) EIA technology for biodiversity towards sustainable development, (7) mathematical model and GIS based location decision techniques, and (8) environmental monitoring and audit. Furthermore, there are some fields which need packaged EIA technology. In case of dam development, urban or industrial complex development, tourist development, landfill or combustion facilities construction, electric power plant development, development of port, road/rail/air port, is necessary the standardized and packaged EIA technology which considers the common characteristics of the same kind of development project.

The current study analyzed appropriateness of abandoned rice paddy wetlands as habitats for the Amphibia by assessing functions and value of abandoned rice paddy wetlands within land development districts as a habitat for living creatures and researching into the Amphibia living in the subject districts. For this purpose, the study designated abandoned rice paddy wetlands within Hwaseong A District and Pangyo B District under land development as subject lands. Those wetlands went through succession after abandonment of farming. Detailed study results are as follows. From classification of wetland types and an analysis of their characteristics, it was found that herbaceous plants such as smartweed communities, horsetail communities and reed communities, and woody plants such as pussy willow communities appeared in both districts. These abandoned rice paddy wetlands shows typical characteristics of palustrine wetlands. As a result of a vegetation structure research, it was observed that succession has been progressed for at least over 2~3 years. In assessment of wetland functions by item, it was found that they are developing into fine wetlands in terms of functions because they are ranked over Moderate Class except separate distance from streams. Also from a research into animals living in the abandoned rice paddy wetlands, it was found that main inhabitants are Rana nigromaculata,Rana dybowskii, Hyla japonica, Bufo bufo gargarizans, etc. It can be confirmed that the abandoned rice paddy wetlands are providing appropriate conditions as habitats to the Amphibia in a view that those species have life cycles of inhabitation (shores and wetlands) - egg-laying (rice paddy, puddles and swampy places) - hibernation (rice field banks and swampy places). From this point of view, it was found that abandoned rice paddy wetlands that developed because of abandonment of farming can be used as means to improve structure and functions of habitats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate use and purchase behavior of sleeping wear for summer. Subjects in this study were composed of 591 males and females aged from twenties to fifties, living in Taejon and Chongju. For data analysis, descriptive analysis, $\chi$$^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, and factor analysis were used. The results are as follows. First, subjects used sleeping wear(a night gown and pajamas), and home wear(T-shirts and sweat suit with zippered top) with similar rates. The subjects, who are females, married, older and have professional jobs, owned sleeping wear such as a night gown and pajamas more than home wear. Also, the mean of using pajamas was the highest, and they were satisfied with them more than others who didn't wear them. Second, one-third of consumers purchased sleeping wear once a year in a specialty store. Consumers mainly searched for information regarding sleeping wear in the display section. Most consumers weren't influenced by others when they made their purchases. When consumers decided to purchase a product, they considered six criteria such as fabric/management, wearing/fitness, esthetic, service, symbolic status, and economic for evaluating. Among them, the factor wearing/fitness was considered the most important. These results imply that consumers would be conscious of sleeping wear even though sleeping wear and home wear are used interchangeably. In addition, consumer behavior concerning sleeping wear is different from their characteristics such as sex, age, occupation, the level of education, and marital state. Therefore, the markets with sleeping wear would be able to be segmented based on consumers’characteristics. Also, marketers should focus on distribution channels to reform the markets of sleeping wear, that is, they may offer products in specialty stores. Additionally, market managers would be able to concentrate on visual merchandising in stores in order to increase brand awareness and market share.

Two types of CoMo/zeolite as well as $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ were prepared and their activities and selectivities of low-temperature dibenzothiophene(DBT) hydrodesulfurization(HDS) were studied in high pressure fixed bed reactor. The HDS activities of CoMo/zeolites were higher than that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at temperatures below $225^{\circ}C$ while they were lower than that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at temperatures higher than $275^{\circ}C$. The main products from $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ were biphenyl and cyclohexylbenzene. The product distribution of CoMo/zeolite catalysts was different from that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. It is speculated that DBT is converted to alkylcyclohexane over zeolite based catalysts through both alkylation and hydrogenation reactions. The crystal structure of molybdenum was $MoO_3$ in fresh zeolite support while mixtures of $MoO_3$ and $MoS_2$ were observed in the aged catalyst.

The compilers of science textbooks during the enlightenment period of Korea had been active in teaching and writing of science education. Thus a research on their social and educational backgrounds would help us to understand the historical process of the formation of Korean science education. In finding out their backgrounds, the official government resumes and the bulletins of an academic society were used. It was found that seven compilers of science textbooks, with their known resumes and bulletins, studied in Japan and another six studied in Korea. However, most students who studied in Japan with the support from Korean government returned to Korea and took an active part in education. In the first place, they had written the scientific articles in the bulletins. Then, they published school textbooks, including science textbooks. However, their roles in the science education replaced with the Japanese teachers with the lapse of time. Furthermore, since they were rather specialists in translation than in subject matters and studies applied sciences in technical colleges, they did little to foster science and could not form a firm basis for an independent internal structure of science education in Korea.
