Heart Rate Variability(HRV) is a parameter that represents monitoring variability of time intervals between R-peak in electrocardiography. HRV serves to various applications, such as indices of autonomic functions, prediction of cardiac sudden death, assessment of stress and emotional, etc. However, as measuring R-peak in ECG needs at least 3-electrodes, and it is inconvenient for end users. In this paper, we suggested the modified laplacian electrodes for measuring HRV at one-point, which are producted by MEMS fabrication and have the two circular electrodes on the pad. For optimal position and direction, we performed an experiment that compared with pearson correlation coefficient and the amplitude of signals, between standard lead II and proposed electrodes. We analyzed the HRV parameters, such as standard deviation of the NN interval(SDNN), high frequency(HF), low frequency(LF), LF/HF ratio. The result showed that the average correlation coefficient and amplitude are 0.967 and 0.685 mVpp at the position 2. The coeffiecient correlation between the standard HRV and proposed electrode-HRV is 0.999

This paper shows storage life estimation of next IR(infrared) flare material through accelerated degradation tests. Three temperature conditions for the accelerated degradation tests are 55, 65 and $75^{\circ}C$. Six performances of IR flare material are burning time, IR peak/continuous Intensity, total energy of near/mid-IR and color ratio, and they were measured after the tests. Storage life of the IR flare material was estimated through both analyzing the degradation data of those performances and applying distribution-based degradation models to the data. Over 30 years of storage life at $20^{\circ}C$ is estimated in terms of IR peak intensity with reliability 0.99 and confidence level 99 %. Additionally, 10 years of storage period at $21^{\circ}C$ would be equivalent to 68 days of accelerated test at $65^{\circ}C$ from the activation energy in Arrhenius model.

We have investigated the effect of the pad surface characteristics such as roughness, groove density and wear of pad on within wafer non-uniformity(WIWNU) in chemical mechanical polishing(CMP). We found that WIWNU increases as pad surface roughness($R_{pk}$; Reduced peak height) increases in an early stage of polishing. But after polishing time goes to a certain extent, WIWNU decreases as uniformity of pad surface roughness. Also, groove of pad has effect on relative pad stiffness although original mechanical properties of pad are unchanged by grooving. WIWNU decreases as relative pad stiffness decreases. In addition, conditioning process causes non-uniform wear of pad during in CMP. The profile of pad wear has a significant effect on WIWNU.

수소화된 비정질 탄소(a-C:H)는 그 증착 조건에 따라서 여러 가지 다른 구조와 특성을 갖게 되며, 특히 DLC(diamond-like carbon) 및 CNT(Carbon nanotube)는 FED (field emission display) 개발 면에서 중요하게 연구되고 있다. 우리는 a-C:H 박막을 PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법으로 증착하고 CH4 가스를 사용하였고 기판 온도는 상온-32$0^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 변화되었다. 기판은 Corning 1737 glass, quartz, Si, Ni 등을 사용하였다. 증착 압력과 R.F. power는 각각 0.1-1 Torr 와 12-60w 사이에서 변화되었다. ESR 측정은 X-band(주파수 약 9 GHz)에서 그리고 상온에서 행해졌다. 상온에서의 스핀밀도는 약한-표준피치(weak-pitch standard) 스펙트럼과 비교하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 a-C:H 박막의 구조는 He-Ne laser(파장 632.8 nm)를 이용하는 micro-Raman spectroscopy로 분석하였다. 증착조건에 따른 스핀밀도의 변화 및 Raman 스펙트럼에서의 D-peak, G-peak의 위치 및 반치록, I(D)/I(G) 등을 조사하였다. 증착된 a-C:H 박막은 R.F.power가 증가할수록 대체로 스핀밀도가 증가하였으며, Raman 스펙트럼에서의 I(D)/I(G) 비율은 대체로 감소하였다. 증착된 박막들은 polymer-like Carbon으로 추정되었으며, 스핀밀도가 증가할수록 대체적으로 흑연 구조 영역이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 glass나 Si 기판에 비해 Ni 기판위에서 polymer-like Carbon 구조는 향상되는 경향을 보였다.

In this study, DLC films deposited by PECVD were evaluated to the properties of super-hydrophobic by CF₄ treatment. The structure of DLC films were confirmed by Raman Spectra whether or not mixed sp³ (like diamond) peak and sp² (like graphite) peak. And the hydrogen contents in the DLC films (F-DLC) were measured by RBS analysis. In addition, DLC films were analyzed by scratch test for adhesion, nano-indentation for hardness and tribo-meter of Ball-on-disc type for friction coefficient. In the result of analysis, DLC films had traditional structure regardless of variation of hardness at constant conditions. Also adhesion of DLC film was increased as higher material hardness. Otherwise, friction coefficient was increased as lower material hardness. The DLC films were treated by CF₄ plasma treatment to enhance the properties of super-hydrophobic. And the DLC films were measured by ESEM(Enviromental Scanning Electron Microscope) for water condensation.

Morphologic changes or functional impairments of the papillary muscle (PM) can influence mitral valve competence. The purpose of this study was to investigate PM size and contractile function using two-dimensional and color tissue Doppler echocardiography in normal dogs. 35 unsedated Beagle dogs without cardiovascular disease were examined. The vertical (VD) and horizontal diameter (HD) of the posterior and anterior PM was measured at end-diastole, and compared with the thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall (LVPWd). Longitudinal systolic movement of the PM was quantified as myocardial velocity and strain using tissue Doppler. The VD, HD, and ratios (VD/LVPWd, HD/LVPWd, VD/HD) were significantly greater in the posterior than anterior PM (P < 0.001). The VD and HD of posterior PM and the HD of anterior PM were significantly correlated with LVPWd (r = 0.47, 0.44, and 0.42, respectively). Body weight was significantly correlated with VD of posterior PM (r = 0.37). The peak systolic tissue velocity of the PM was $4.93{\pm}1.25cm/sec$ and peak strain was $-30.83{\pm}11.92%$. PM size and systolic function can be quantitatively assessed using two-dimensional and tissue Doppler. The establishment of these objective PM measurements may be useful to evaluate morphological and functional abnormalities of the canine PM.

The elastic modulus and the structural evolution were examined with the film thickness in polymeric, hard, graphitic diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The DLC films used in the present study were prepared by radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (r.f.-PACVD) from $C_6H_6\;and\;CH_4$ gas. Elastic modulus of very thin DLC film was measured by free overhang method. This method has an advantage over the other methods. Because the substrate was removed by etching technique, the measured value is not affected by the mechanical property of the substrate. The structural evolution was investigated by the G-peak position of the Raman spectrum. The polymeric and graphitic films exhibited the decreased elastic modulus with decreasing film thickness. In polymeric films, the reason was that more polymeric film had been deposited in the initial stage of the film growth and in graphitic film more graphic films which had been deposited in the initial stage decreased the elastic modulus. The G-peak position of the Raman spectrum confirmed this result. On the other hand, the hard film showed the constant elastic modulus regardless to the film thickness. The structural change was not observed in this range of the film thickness.

Double-peak normal distribution function was suggested as the probability density function of the tidal elevation data in Korean coastal zone. Frequency distribution analysis was carried out using hourly tidal elevation data of the ten tidal gauging stations, i.e., Incheon, Kunsan, Mokpo, Cheju, Yeosu, Masan, Gadeokdo, Pusan, Pohang, and Sokcho which were served through the Internet Homepage by the National Ocean Research Institute. Based on the RMS error and $R^2$ value comparison analysis, it was found that this suggested function as the probability density function of the tidal elevation data was found to be more appropriate than the normal distribution function. The parameters of the double-peak function were estimated optimally using Levenberg-Marquardt method which was modified from the Newton method. The estimated parameters were highly correlated with the non-tidal constants of the tidal gauging stations.

Light-emitting chromophores have been separated from silica spheres modified the surface with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (TMSPM). The photoluminescence characteristics of the chromophores were investigated with various excitation wavelengths. The TMSPM was attached to the surface of silica spheres at $75^{\circ}C$. Large number of round shaped particles of the TMSPM was on the surface of silica spheres after 3 h reaction. The TMPSM was completely covered on the surface of the spheres after 6 h reaction. The surface modified silica spheres were soaked into acetone and stored for 20 days at ambient condition. The solution color slowly changed from light yellow to deep yellow with the increase of the storing time. The FTIR absorption peaks at 3348, 2869, 2927, 1715, 1453/1377, 1296, and $1120cm^{-1}$ represent C-OH, $R-CH_3$, $R_2-CH_2$, -C=O, C-H, C=C-H, and Si-O-Si absorption, respectively. The FTIR absorption peak at $1715cm^{-1}$ representing the ester -C=O stretching vibration for silica spheres stored for 20 days was increased compared with the spheres without aging. The UV-visible absorption peaks were at 4.51 eV (275 nm) and 3.91 eV (317 nm). There were two luminescence peaks at 2.51 eV (495 nm) and 2.25 eV (550 nm). The emission at 2.51 eV was dominant peak when the excitation energy was higher than 2.58 eV, and emission at 2.25 eV became dominant peak when the excitation energy was lower than 2.58 eV.
