Chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process has been widely used to planarize dielectric layers, which can be applied to the integrated circuits for deep sub-micron technology. The reverse moat etch process has been used for the shallow trench isolation(STI)-chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process with conventional low selectivity slurries. Thus, the process became more complex, and the defects were seriously increased. In this paper, we studied the direct STI-CMP process without reverse moat etch step using high selectivity slurry(HSS). As our experimental results show, it was possible to achieve a global planarization without the complicated reverse moat process, the STI-CMP process could be dramatically simplified, and the defect level was reduced. Therefore the throughput, yield, and stability in the ULSI semiconductor device fabrication could be greatly improved.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer for IMT-2000 base-station was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second order harmonic component of LO signal. The dual-gate FET mixer has the characteristic of high conversion gain and good isolation between ports. Sub-harmonic mixing is frequently used to extend RF bandwidth for fixed LO frequency or to make LO frequency lower. Furthermore, the LO-to-RF isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer because the frequency separation between the RE and LO frequency is large. As RF power is -30dBm and LO power is 0dBm, the designed mixer shows the -47.17dBm LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10dB conversion gain, -0.5dBm OIP3, -10.5dBm IIP3 and -1dBm 1dB gain compression point.

To overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer chemotherapy, we prepared various plant extracts and searched for a component which is effective for inhibition of MDR. MDR inhibition activity was determined by measuring cytotoxicity to MDR cells using multidrug resistant human fibrocarcinoma KB V20C, which is resistant to 20 nM vincristine and expresses high level of mdr1 gene. Of various plant extracts, the MeOH extract of the root of Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum was found to have potent inhibitory activity on MDR. The bioassayguided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the plant led to the isolation of an alkaloid, lycaconitine, as an active principle. And the $IC_{50}$ of lycaconitne for KB V20C cells was $74\mu{g}$/ml.

This paper proposes an algorithm that enables mobile nodes to implement self-regulated movements in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). It is important for mobile nodes to maintain a certain level of network-based stability by harmonizing these nodes' movements autonomously due to their limited transmission range and dynamic topology. Entropy methods based on relative position are suggested, as a means for mobile nodes to regulate their local movements. Simulations show that an early warning mechanism is suitable to maintain movement-based stability. Isolation can be reduced by 99%, with an increased network cost of 12% higher power consumption, using the proposed algorithm.

For effective screening research, to isolate many different strains not duplicated would be essential. Three kinds of media were used for selective isolation of actinomycetes to test the reisolation frequency. Sixty species were isolated on Bennet's agar, 47 were on glycerol-asparagine agar and 77 were on humic acid-vitamin agar from 10 domestic soil samples. All of these isolates were identified to the genus level based on morphological characters and examined the sameness on each medium. The reisolation frequency between two different media was 10% or so(8.3~16.7%) and among three different media was 25% or so(22.1~27.7%).

The earthquake-resistant structural systems have to ensure the sufficient stiffness and ductility for the stability. For those purposes, recently, the performance design concept to increase the degree of absorbed energy level of structures has been proposed. One practical way of the performance design in the spatial structures is to apply the isolation system to boundary parts of roof system and sub-structure to obtain the target performance. So, it is necessary to examine the characteristics of dynamic behavior of spatial structures governed by higher modes rather than lower modes different from the cases of high rise buildings. The objectives of this paper are to develop the equivalent model to simplify the analytical processes and to investigate the dynamic behavior of roof system according to the mass and the stiffness of sub-structures as a fundamental study of performance design for the spatial structures.

The Line-Of-Sight stabilization system is designed to minimize the error of Line-Of-Sight under the disturbing circumstances. In order to control this system more accurately and reduce the level of the disturbance, adding an isolator is mostly considered. However, it is difficult to predict the exact the behavior of the isolator and the effect of a stabilization Error. Therefore, the simulation model of the control system using co-simulation with Adams and matlab simulink is presented and the effects of the isolation properties are reviewed.

Surface swab samples from beef (188), pork (240) and chicken (95) carcasses were collected from slaughterhouse in Kangwon and Kyunggi areas from March through July 1996. The samples were examined on the level of E. coli biotype I relevant to fecal contamination due to unsanitary processing control and the existence of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC). E. coli biotype I were confirmed from 38.8% of beef, 40.0% of pork, and 69.5% of chicken carcasses. Little variation was noted among three sampling points; rump, flank and neck of beef, ham, belly and jowls of pork. coli O157:H7 was only confirmed from 2 of 188 beef carcasses. E. coli biotype I. All the isolated E. coli O157 showed positive for vero cell cytotoxicity test. Isolation rate of E. coli O157 in summer was higher than in spring. In case of pork and chicken carcasses, E. coli O157 was isolated in summer only.

This study examines the difference of airborne sound isolation between laboratory and field test. The airborne sound isolation between adjacent dwellings in multi-family buildings is often much less than would be expected from the rated sound reduction index of the nominally-separating wall, due to structure-borne transmission of vibration at the junctions of wall. A variety of construction modifications to control such transmission have also been evaluated. This study presents a factor of the difference for flanking involving joint of wall, and shows the effect of some practical modifications that control the key flanking paths

The paper describes the testing facilities and the methodology on testing of laminated rubber bearings envisaged for application in the system of Dynamic Damper (DD) of seismic isolated buildings, as well as the obtained results. For the first time in Armenia laminated rubber bearings were tested simultaneously under the action of horizontal shear force and vertical tension force. The test results have proven the possibility of using rubber bearings as elements subjected to tension due to action of the mass of DD. Also it was confirmed that the suggested structural concept of DD for reducing the displacements and shear forces of seismic isolation systems will have reliable behavior during the design level earthquakes.
