This study was carried out to characterize sources of atmospheric total suspended particulates (TSP) in urban and sub--urban areas of metropolitan taegu. The sources were tentatively identified by a multivariate technique, i.e. principal component analysis (PCA), and the source contributions to the atmospheric concentrations of TSP were further estimated by stepwise multiple regression analysis. A total of 5 sources was identified in the urban area of Taegu (soil dust resuspension, fuel combustion, secondary aerosol, traffic related aerosol, and refuge burning), while 4 sources were found to be significant in the sub--urban area as following: fuel combustion/secondary aerosol, soil dust resuspension, traffic related aerosol, and wood/agricultural burning. The largest contributor to the atmospheric TSP appeared to be the soil dust resuspension in both areas. The source apportionment of the extractable organic matter (EOM) was also carried out for the Taegu data. The EOM was determined with respect to the solvent polarity, i.e. cyclohexane (non-polar), dichloromethane (semi--polar), and acetone (polar). In addition, the source profiles for the TSP in Taegu area were estimated using a PCA-based algorithm, and the validity was evaluated tentatively by comparing the data in the literature.

A groung Fabry-Perot interferometer has been used to measure atomic oxygen nightglow (OI 630.0nm) from the thermosphere (about 250km) at King Sejong station (KSS, geographic: $62.22^{\circ}$S, $301.25^{\circ}$E; geomagnetic: $50.65^{\circ}$S, $7.51^{\circ}$E), Antarctica. While numerous studies of the thermosphere have been performed on high latitude using ground-based Fabry-Perot interferometers, the thermospheric measurements in the Southern Hemisphere are relatively new and sparse. Therefore, the nightglow measurements at KSS play an important role in extending the thermospheric studies to the Southern Hemisphere. In this study, we investigated the effects of the geomagnetic and solar activities on the thermospheric neutral temperatures that have been observed at KSS in 1989 and 1997. The measured average temperatures are 1400K in 1989 and 800K in 1997, reflecting the influence of the solar activity. The measurements were compared with empirical models, MSIS-86 and semi-empirical model, VSH.

Stereochemical isomers with hydroxy groups were synthesized by reacting 2-(dimethoxy-methyl)cyclohexanone with propargylmagnesium bromide. The stereo chemical structures were identified by NMR spectral interpretation and the geometry optimization. To assist the NMR interpretation, geometry optimization based on semi-empirical AM1 and PM3 methods was applied. Throughout this study, the structures of the two isomers were all determined and $^{1}H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra were fully assigned. It was proven that the less polar isomer is an axial alcohol and the more polar one is an equatorial alcohol.

Semi-diurnal internal tides and near-inertial waves are investigated using moored current meter measurements at four sites along the shelf break of the East China Sea during August 1987 and May-June 1988. Each mooring is equipped with four current meters spanning from near surface to near bottom. Spectral analyses of all current data reveal dominant spectra at the semi-diurnal frequency band, where the upper and lower current measurements show out-of-phase relationship between them with significant coherences. These are consistent with typical characteristics of the first-mode semi-diurnal internal tide. Strong intensification of the near-bottom baroclinic currents is observed only at one site, where the ratio of the bottom slope to the slope of the internal-wave characteristics at the semi-diurnal frequency is close to unity. An energetic near-inertial wave event is observed during the first half of May-June 1988 observation at two mooring sites. Rotary spectra reveal that the most dominant signal is clockwise rotating motion at the near-inertial frequency band. Upward phase and downward energy propagations, shown in time-depth contour plots of near-inertial bandpass filtered currents, are confirmed by cross correlations between the upper- and lower-layer current measurements. The upward-propagating phase speed is estimated to be about 0.13 cm $s^{-1}$ at both sites. Significant coherences and in-phase relationships of near-inertial currents at the same or similar depths between the two sites are observed in spite of their long distance of about 110 km.

In this work, the effects of plasma treatment on surface properties of semi conductive silicone rubber were investigated in terms of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The adhesion characteristics of semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber were studied by measuring the T-peel strengths. As a result, semiconductive silicone rubber surfaces treated with plasma discharge led to and increase in oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in improving the degree of adhesion of the semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber. these results are probably due to the modifications of surface functional groups or polar component of surface free energy of the semi conductive silicone rubber.

The long-term mooring performed at a KOGA station, located at about $30^{\circ}20^{\prime}N$, $126^{\circ}12^{\prime}E$ in the East China Sea shelf, shows some different behaviors between "semi-diurnal" and "diurnal currents" defined as the currents with periods around, respectively, a half day and a day. They appear to be predominantly tidal having significant coherences with sea level changes around the semi-diurnal and diurnal frequencies. The "semi-diurnal current" is strongly barotropic all year round. However, contrastingly, it is largely baroclinic in summer in the area about 70 km nearer to the continental slope, referred to as the "slope-area", as was found in previous current observations. The "diurnal current" of tidal origin is strongly barotropic in winter. In spring and summer, however, it becomes more baroclinic although it still remains largely barotropic, also showing more of its barotropic nature than in the "slope-area". The inertial oscillation contributing to the "diurnal current" appears to be more prominent when the current is baroclinic, indicating the important role played by stratification in generation of inertial oscillations. Downward energy propagation of inertial oscillation is not observed, suggesting that it is not created at the surface by wind. Considering that the study area is both near a critical latitude and proximity to the continental slope, it is suggested that parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) plays a significant role in creating the baroclinic inertial oscillation.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) is one of the important components of optical properties of seawater to determine ecosystem dynamics in a given marine area. The optical characteristics of CDOM may depend on the various ecosystem and environmental variables in the sea and those variables may vary region to region. Therefore, the retrieval algorithm for determining light absorption coefficient of CDOM ($a_{CDOM}$) using satellite remote sensing reflectance ($R_{rs}$) developed from other region may not be directly applicable to the other region, and it must be validated using an in-situ ground-truth observation. We have tested 6 known CDOM algorithms (three Semi-analytical and three Empirical CDOM algorithms) developed from other regions of the world ocean with laboratory determined in-situ values for the East Sea using field data collected during seven oceanographic cruises in the period of 2009~2011. Our field measurements extended from the coastal waters to the open oceanic type CASE-1 Waters. Our study showed that Quasi-Analytical Algorithm (QAA_v5) derived $a_{CDOM}$(412) appears to match in-situ $a_{CDOM}$(412) values statistically. Semi-analytical algorithms appeared to underestimate and empirical ones overestimated $a_{CDOM}$ in the East Sea. $a_{CDOM}$(412) value was found to be relatively high in the relatively high satellite derived-chlorophyll-a area. $a_{CDOM}$(412) value appears to be influenced by the amount of chlorophyll-a in seawater. The outcome of this work may be referenced to develop $a_{CDOM}$ algorithm for the new Korean Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI).

높은 효율의 InGaN/GaN 전광소자는 현대 조명 산업에 필수적인 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 전광소자의 효율을 높이는 데에는 여러가지 한계들이 있다. 예를 들면 높은 전류에서의 효율저하, GaN 의 전위결함에 의한 비발광 재결합의 발생 등이 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 InGaN/GaN 전광소자의 효율을 높이기 위해 사파이어 기판의 표면을 거칠게 바꾸는 방법, 무분극 전광소자, 표면 플라즈몬 등 여러가지 많은 방법들이 개발되고 있다. c-plane InGaN/GaN LED 기반의 표면 플라즈몬 실험은 많은 연구가 수행되고 있으나, m-plane InGaN/GaN LED 기반의 표면 플라즈몬은 아직 연구가 진행되지 않았다. 본 실험의 목적은 표면 플라즈몬 효과를 이용하여 semi-polar InGaN/GaN LED의 광효율을 개선하는 것이다. 유기금속화학 증착 장비로 m-plane sapphire위에 $6{\mu}m$ 의 GaN 버퍼층을 증착하고 표면의 평탄화를 위해 $2{\mu}m$의 n-GaN을 증착하였다. 그 위에 3개의 다중양자우물 층을 증착하였고, 10 nm의 도핑이 되지않은 GaN를 증착하였다. 표면 플라즈몬 현상을 일으키기 위해 Ag박막을 10, 15, 20 nm 증착하여 급속 열처리 방법으로 $300^{\circ}C$에서 20분 열처리 하였다. 형성된 나노입자를 측정하기 위해 주사전자현미경으로 표면을 분석하였다. 표면플라즈몬에 의한 InGaN/GaN 광 세기를 측정하고자 여기 파장이 385 nm인 photoluminescence (PL) 를 사용하였다. 또한 내부양자효과의 증가를 확인하기 위해 PL을 이용하여 온도를 10~300 K까지 20 K 간격으로 광세기를 측정하였다. 향상된 내부 양자효과가 표면 플라즈몬에 의한 것임을 증명하기 위해 time-resolved PL을 이용하여 운반자 수명시간을 구하였다.

Optical remote sensing sensors provide visually more familiar images than radar images. However, it is difficult to discriminate sea ice types in optical images using spectral information based machine learning algorithms. This study addresses two topics. First, we propose a semantic segmentation which is a part of the state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms to identify ice types by learning hierarchical and spatial features of sea ice. Second, we propose a new approach by combining of semi-supervised and active learning to obtain accurate and meaningful labels from unlabeled or unseen images to improve the performance of supervised classification for multiple images. Therefore, we successfully added new labels from unlabeled data to automatically update the semantic segmentation model. This should be noted that an operational system to generate ice type products from optical remote sensing data may be possible in the near future.

Recently, many groups have attempted to fabricate 3-dimensional (3D) structures of GaN such as pyramids, rods, stripes and annulars. Since quantum structures on non-polar and semi-polar planes of 3D structures have less influence of internal electric filed, multi quantum wells (MQWs) formed on those planes have high quantum efficiency. Especially, pyramidal and annular structures consist of various crystal planes with different emission wavelength, providing a possibillity of phosphor-free white light emtting diodes (WLEDs).[1] However, it still has problem to obtain high color rendering index (CRI) number because of narrow-band emission and poor indium composition caused by the formation of few number of facets during metal-organic chemical vapor deposition growth.[2] If we can fabricate 3D structure having more various facets, we can make broad-band emittied WLEDs and improve CRI number. In this study, we suggest a simple method to fabricate 3D structures having various facet and containing high indium composition by means of a combination of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and wet chemical etching techniques.
