A full-range analytic drain current model for depletion-mode long-channel surrounding-gate nanowire field-effect transistor (SGNWFET) is proposed. The model is derived from the solution of the 1-D cylindrical Poisson equation which includes dopant and mobile charges, by using the Pao-Sah gradual channel approximation and the full-depletion approximation. The proposed model captures the phenomenon of the bulk conduction mechanism in all regions of device operation (subthreshold, linear, and saturation regions). It has been shown that the continuous model is in complete agreement with the numerical simulations.

Cheonggyecheon, covered and Paved with concretes for about more than 50 years, is a losing stream crossing over the downtown of Seoul, Korea. Due to several environmental and economic Problems about the Cheonggyecheon area, the Cheonggyecheon restoration construction has started in 2003. In restoration of Cheonggyecheon, hydraulic barriers are to be installed so as to reduce stream depletion rates for maintaining the stream flow with supplying a certain amount of water. This study evaluates the groundwater-stream interaction by analyzing stream depletion rates of Cheonggyecheon. Results show that significant stream depletion occurs at the up-midstream where the Seoul subway lines are concentrated. Simulation results demonstrate that both horizontal and vertical hydraulic barriers impeding groundwater flow into subway lines are more efficient than a horizontal barrier only for stream depletion rate reduction.

The ZTO/p-Si thin film was produced and investigated for tunneling phenomena caused by the interface characteristics of the depletion layer. ZTO thin film was deposited and heat treated to produce barrier potentials by the depletion layer. The negative resistance characteristics were shown in the thin film of ZTO heat treated at $100^{\circ}C$, and the insulation properties were the best. Current decreased in the negative voltage direction by nonlinear show key characteristics, and current decreased in tunneling phenomenon by negative resistance in the positive voltage direction. Heat treated at $100^{\circ}C$, the ZTO thin film has increased barrier potential in the areas of the depletion layer and therefore the current has increased rapidly. The current has decreased again as we go beyond the depletion layer. Therefore, tunneling can be seen to make insulation better. In the ZTO thin film heat treated at $70^{\circ}C$ without tunneling, leakage current occurred as current increased at positive voltage. Therefore, tunneling effects by negative resistance were found to enhance insulation properties electrically.

The rapid urbanization had led to a distortion of natural hydrological cycle system. The change in hydrological cycle structure is causing streamflow depletion, changing the existing use tendency of water resources. To manage such phenomena, a streamflow depletion impact assessment technology to forecast depletion is required. For performing such technology, it is indispensable to build GIS-based spatial data as fundamental data, but there is a shortage of related research. Therefore, this study was conducted to use the use of GIS-based time series spatial data for streamflow depletion assessment. For this study, GIS data over decades of changes on a national scale were constructed, targeting 6 streamflow depletion impact factors (weather, soil depth, forest density, road network, groundwater usage and landuse) and the data were used as the basic data for the operation of continuous hydrologic model. Focusing on these impact factors, the causes for streamflow depletion were analyzed depending on time series. Then, using distributed continuous hydrologic model based DrySAT, annual runoff of each streamflow depletion impact factor was measured and depletion assessment was conducted. As a result, the default value of annual runoff was measured at 977.9mm under the given weather condition without considering other factors. When considering the decrease in soil depth, the increase in forest density, road development, and groundwater usage, along with the change in land use and development, and annual runoff were measured at 1,003.5mm, 942.1mm, 961.9mm, 915.5mm, and 1003.7mm, respectively. The results showed that the major causes of the streaflow depletion were lowered soil depth to decrease the infiltration volume and surface runoff thereby decreasing streamflow; the increased forest density to decrease surface runoff; the increased road network to decrease the sub-surface flow; the increased groundwater use from undiscriminated development to decrease the baseflow; increased impervious areas to increase surface runoff. Also, each standard watershed depending on the grade of depletion was indicated, based on the definition of streamflow depletion and the range of grade. Considering the weather, the decrease in soil depth, the increase in forest density, road development, and groundwater usage, and the change in land use and development, the grade of depletion were 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.3, 2.8, 2.2, respectively. Among the five streamflow depletion impact factors except rainfall condition, the change in groundwater usage showed the biggest influence on depletion, followed by the change in forest density, road construction, land use, and soil depth. In conclusion, it is anticipated that a national streamflow depletion assessment system to be develop in the future would provide customized depletion management and prevention plans based on the system assessment results regarding future data changes of the six streamflow depletion impact factors and the prospect of depletion progress.

In this report, the results of a systematic study on the effects of polycrystalline silicon gate depletion on the reliability characteristics of metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices were discussed. The devices were fabricated using standard complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, wherein phosphorus ion implantation with implant doses varying from $10^{13}$ to $5{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$ was performed to dope the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. For implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, the threshold voltage was increased with the formation of a depletion layer in the polycrystalline silicon gate layer. The gate-depletion effect was more pronounced for shorter channel lengths, like the narrow-width effect, which indicated that the gate-depletion effect could be used to solve the short-channel effect. In addition, the hot-carrier effects were significantly reduced for implant doses of $10^{14}/cm^2$ or less, which was attributed to the decreased gate current under the gate-depletion effects.

Spatial distributions of phytoplankton biomass and nutrients were examined to investigate the magnitude of phytoplankton blooms along the marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the northwestern Weddell Sea during austral summer of 1995. High phytoplankton biomass was associated with the MIZ in the study area. Vertical stability induced by meltwater appears to be the most important factor controlling phytoplankton biomass distribution. Nitrate concentrations are significantly depleted within the upper water column at the phytoplankton biomass maximum. The time required to attain the observed nutrient depletion was calculated from phytoplankton biomass and nitrate depletion, which ranges from 27 to 68 days in transect 4 and from 33 to 145 days in transect 3. Phytoplankton production was also calculated from nitrate depletion and time-scales of nitrate depletion, which varies from 272 to 1752 mg C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ in transect 4 and from 327 to 2648 mg C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ in transect 3. In the Southern Ocean where primary productivity shows large temporal and spatial variations, the productivity measurement from nutrient depletion can provide an average rate of primary production during phytoplankton bloom.

Groundwater pumping from a well has different impacts on streamflow depletion because hydraulic properties of the aquifer and the stream bed differ depending on its location. Therefore, quantitative assessment of streamflow depletion due to each groundwater pumping with different well locations is needed for the effective groundwater development and streamflow management. In this study, a watershed-based surface water and groundwater integrated model, SWAT-MODFLOW was used to assess the streamflow depletion near stream reach due to groundwater pumping from a well located within the Sinduncheon watershed. The arbitrary 50 wells among the currently used groundwater pumping wells were selected within the study area and the streamflow responses to each groundwater pumping were simulated at nearby and downstream reaches. In particular, the applicability of the Stream Depletion Factor (SDF) and Stream Bed Factor (SBF), which are widely used for evaluating the degree of streamflow depletion due to groundwater pumping, was evaluated. The simulated results demonstrated that the streamflow depletion rate divided by the pumping rate significantly differ depending on well locations and distance between well and stream, showing a wide range of values from below 20% to above 90%. From the simulated results, it was found out that the SDF or the SBF can be a partial referred value but not an absolute criterion in determining whether a pumping well has a great impact on streamflow depletion or not.

The streamflow depletion due to groundwater pumping from deep aquifer near the Juksan stream has been simulated, in this study, by using the surface water and groundwater integrated model, SWAT-ODFLOW in order to analyze the relationship between the stream depletion and hydraulic properties of aquifer and streambed, and to spatially assess the streamflow depletion. The simulated results showed that the streamflow depletion rate divided by the pumping rate for each well location ranges from 10% to 90% with reflecting the various well-stream distance, transmissivity, storativity, and streambed hydraulic conductance. In particular, the streamflow depletion exceeds about 50% of pumping rate for conditions with transmissivity higher than $10m^2/day$ or storage coefficient lower than 0.1. The simulated results in the form of spatial maps indicated that the spatially averaged percent depletion of streamflow is about 53.6% for five years of pumping which is lower than that for shallow aquifer pumping by 12.9%. From the spatially distributed stream depletion, it was found that higher and more rapid stream depletion to pumping occurs near middle-downstream reach.

Solar wind density depletions are phenomena that solar wind density is rapidly decreased and keep the state. They are generally believed to be caused by the interplanetary (IP) shocks. However, there are other cases that are hardly associated with IP shocks. We set up a hypothesis for this phenomenon and analyze this study. We have collected the solar wind parameters such as density, speed and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data related to the solar wind density depletion events during the period from 1996 to 2013 that are obtained with the advanced composition explorer (ACE) and the Wind satellite. We also calculate two pressures (magnetic, dynamic) and analyze the relation with density depletion. As a result, we found total 53 events and the most these phenomena's sources caused by IP shock are interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME). We also found that solar wind density depletions are scarcely related with IP shock's parameters. The solar wind density is correlated with solar wind dynamic pressure within density depletion. However, the solar wind density has an little anti-correlation with IMF strength during all events of solar wind density depletion, regardless of the presence of IP shocks. Additionally, In 47 events of IP shocks, we find 6 events that show a feature of blast wave. The quantities of IP shocks are weaker than blast wave from the Sun, they are declined in a short time after increasing rapidly. We thus argue that IMF strength or dynamic pressure are an important factor in understanding the nature of solar wind density depletion. Since IMF strength and solar wind speed varies with solar cycle, we will also investigate the characteristics of solar wind density depletion events in different phases of solar cycle as an additional clue to their physical nature.
