The Korea Coast Guard(KCG) is the only comprehensive maritime administrative agency in Korea that performs various tasks taking place in the ocean, including rescue operations, disaster management, policing, Drug and smuggling crackdown, responding to Response to invasion of maritime territory, environmental conservation, and maritime security. It is vital to inform the public of the role and mission of KCG as the only comprehensive maritime administrative agency in Korea. However, most citizens, excluding residents of the coastal and island areas, have little knowledge of the security administration services of the KCG due to lack of exposure. This study reviewed the KCG's public relations(PR) organization and current status using KCG promotional materials, diagnosed the actual conditions of KCG's PR, and suggested ways to improve public relations activities through a questionnaire survey of public relations personnel. Through literature research and questionnaire survey, the KCG's public relations status was estimated and the measures to enhance publicity was derived as follows: strengthening the PR organization by reinforcing the personnel in charge of PR, improving customized promotion by clarifying the promotion strategy according to the promotion target, enhancing job training for PR personnel, and increasing the interest and support of commanders and internal members in charge of PR work.

Metal-Ferroelectric-Metal(MFM) capacitors were prepared using $Bi_{3.3}$ $La_{0.7}$ $Ti_3$$O_{12}$ (BLT) ferroelectric thin films which were spin coated on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2$/Si substrates by the Sol-Gel method. BLT thin films annealed at above $650^{\circ}C$ showed polycrystalline structures with typical c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and surface roughness were increased as the annealing temperature increased from $650^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values were decreased with increasing annealing temperatures, indicating the improvement of crystallinity. The remanent polarization (2Pr= $Pr^{+}$ $+Pr^{-) }$ and leakage current of the BLT film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were about 29.3 $\mu$C/cm$^2$ and $2.3$\times$10^{-8}$$ A/cm^2$ at 3V. There were no distinct changes in the retention charges after $10^{10}$ polarization switching cycles, showing good fatigue property of the annealed BLT films.

The organometallic chemical vapor deposition of single precursors, $[Me_2Al({\mu}-NHR)]_2\;(R=^iPr,\;^tBu)$, for alumininum nitride thin films has been investigated to evaluate their poroperties as potential precursors. In chemical vapor deposition processes the gas phase products scattered from a Ni(100) substrate were analyzed by mass spectrometry and the deposited films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optimum temperatures for the formation of AlN films have been found to be between 700 K and 800 K. Carbon contamination of the films seems to be attributed mainly to the methyl groups bonded to the aluminum atoms. It is apparent that $^tBu$ group is better than $^iPr$ group as a substituent on the nitrogen atom of the single precursors for the AlN thin film formation.

For the purpose of optimizing the counter current extraction process for separation of [Sm] and [Pr, Nd] group in hydrochloric acid solution using Cyanex 572 as an extractant, the theory of Xu Guangxian was derived for calculating the optimized extraction factors. From the basic batch test result, the separation factor of [Sm]/[Pr, Nd] was 14.59 at pH 1.75 in extraction process and 14.61 at 0.01 M HCl in scrubbing process. The process parameters can be calculated using a theory of optimum extraction ratio. From the result of calculation, the total extraction and scrubbing stage numbers at counter current process were 11 and for maintain extraction ratio the flow rate ratio of feed solution, solvent solution, scrubbing solution was 6.25 : 1.74 : 5.80 using 0.1 M HCl.

Calmodulin (CaM) mediates cellular Ca²⁺ signals in the defense responses of plants. We previously reported that GmCaM-4 and 5 are involved in salicylic acid-independent activation of disease resistance responses in soybean (Glycine max). Here, we generated a GmCaM-4 cDNA construct under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and transformed this construct into potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The constitutive over-expression of GmCaM-4 in potato induced high-level expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, such as PR-2, PR-3, PR-5, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and proteinase inhibitorII (pinII). In addition, the transgenic potato plants exhibited enhanced resistance against a bacterial pathogen, Erwinia carotovora ssp. Carotovora (ECC), that causes soft rot disease and showed spontaneous lesion phenotypes on their leaves. These results strongly suggest that a CaM protein in soybean, GmCaM-4, plays an important role in the response of potato plants to pathogen defense signaling.

RFe$_2$(R=rare earth) Laves Phase intermetallic compounds are one of the promising materials for magnetostrictive applications, due to large magnetostriction coefficients in the order of 10$^{-3}$ . However, because RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds have large magnetostriction constants as well as large magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants, a large external magnetic field is necessary to reach saturation magnetostriction. Hence researches on giant magnetostriction have been concentrated on producing materials exhibiting a high value of magnetostriction in a low magentic field. The main research trend of the giant magnetostriction to obtain the large value in the low magnetic filed, fortunately as the signs of magnetocrystalline anisotropy constans in RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds alternate with the rare earth metals, has been to substitute the rare earth metal for others and hence to reduce the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. In addition, amorphous RFe$_2$alloys have been researched. In this research, both of the methods which are substitution of the rare earth metal and amorphization in RFe$_2$ intermetallic compounds are simultaneously conducted to obtain the large magnetostriction coefficient in the low external magnetic field. Among them, SmFe$_2$and PrFe$_2$are selected, and amorphized in substrate-free bulk state. Magnetism in amorphous bulk (Sm$_{1-x}$ Pr$_{x}$) Fe$_2$alloys is investigated in the low magnetic field.ld.

Research was initiated to investigate early establislment characteristics and germination pattern of perennial ryegrass (PR, Lolium perenne L.). Eight varieties of PR were evaluated in the study. An alternative environmental condition for a PR germination test required by International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) was applied in the experiment, consisting of 8-hr light at $25^{\circ}C$ and 16-hr dark at $15^{\circ}C$ (ISTA conditions). Daily and cumulative germination pattern were measured and analyzed daily for 30 days. Significant differences were observed in germination pattern, days to the first germination, days to 50% germination, days to 75% germination, and final germination rate. Germination rates were variable among the varieties, being 66.00 to 93.75% at the end of study. There were considerable variations in early germination characteristics and germination pattern among PR varieties. The first germination in all entries tested was initiated from 3 to 5 DAS (days after seeding) under ISTA conditions, being 2 days in differences among the varieties. It was 4 to 7 DAS in days to the 50% germination, being 1 to 3 days later from the first germination and three days were variable among them. Days to the 75% germination were 5.93 to 10.50 DAS under ISTA conditions, being 4.57 days in variety differences. Pennant II and Brightstar II were the fastest varieties. The slowest ones were Revenge GLX and Brightstar SLT. Considering days to the first germination, days to 75% germination, and germination pattern etc, Pennant II and Brightstar II were regarded as excellent varieties under ISTA conditions. From tills study, information on differences in germination characteristics and pattern would be usefully applied for golf course design and construction, when established with PR.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of self-esteem (SE) and cooperation (CO) in the effect of parental attitudes (PA) as perceived by children on the quality of peer relationships (PR). To this end, the data of 1299 boys and 1278 girls in 4th grade were analyzed using the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey data. The correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling using phantom variables and bootstrapping were performed by using SPSS and AMOS programs. The results of this study are as follows. First, perceived PA had a significant effect on SE, CO, and PR, SE had a significant effect on CO and PR, and CO had a significant effect on PR. Second, the serial multi-mediating model that assumed that SE and CO mediate the relationship between PA and PR was found to be appropriate. These results suggest that it is important to consider the child's self-esteem and cooperation with parenting attitudes to improve the child's peer relationship. Future research and clinical implications were discussed.

Anti-diabetic effect of Platycodi radix (PR) extract fractions was determined if vitro by investigating insulin-like action, insulin sensitizing action, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, gene expression related to ${\beta}-cell$ function and mass, and ${\alpha}$-glucoamylase suppressing action. Insulin-like activity was not promoted by the treatment of PR methanol factions in 373-L1 fibroblast. However, treatment with 0, 20 and 100% PR methanol fractions along with 1 ng/mL insulin increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 373-L1 adipocytes. In addition, the treatment of 0% and 100% methanol fractions along with differentiation inducers significantly increased the differentiation of 373-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. These fractions may contain insulin sensitizer. The 20%, 80% and 100% methanol fractions enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in Min6 cells, insulin secreting cell line. This was related to the mechanism to promote glucose sensing and ${\beta}-cell$ proliferation, which was regulated by the induction of IRS-2, glucokinase and PDX-1 genes. As expected, 20, 80 and 100% methanol fractions increased mRNA levels of IRS-2, glucokinase and PDX-1 genes. However, PR fractions did not affect the ${\alpha}-glucoamylase$ activity in vitro. These data suggested that PR extract fractions have anti-diabetic actions through improving insulin sensitization, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and ${\beta}-cell$ proliferation. Therefore, PR extracts can be beneficial for anti-diabetic treatment in lean diabetic patients.

We prepared $Y_3Al_5O_{12};Ce^{3+},Pr3^{+}$ transparent ceramic phosphor using a solid state reaction method. By XRD pattern analysis and SEM measurement, our phosphors reveal an Ia-3d(230) space group of cubic structure, and the transparent ceramic phosphor has a polycrystal state with some internal cracks and pores. In the Raman scattering measurement with an increasing temperature, lattice vibrations of the transparent ceramic phosphor decrease due to its more perfect crystal structure and symmetry. Thus, low phonon generation is possible at high temperature. Optical properties of the transparent ceramic phosphor have broader excitation spectra due to a large internal reflection. There is a wide emission band from the green to yellow region, and the red color emission between 610 nm and 640 nm is also observed. The red-yellow phosphor optical characteristics enable a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) in combination with blue emitting LED or LD. Due to its good thermal properties of low phonon generation at high temperature and a wide emission range for high CRI characteristics, the transparent ceramic phosphor is shown to be a good candidate for high power solid state white lighting.
