We have fabricated and tested a simple circuit of the rapid single-flux-quantum(RSFQ) four-stage shift register using a single layer high-T$_c$ superconducting (HTS) YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin film structure with 9 step-edge Josephson junctions. The circuit includes two read superconducting quantum interference devices(SQUID) and four stages. To establish a robust HTS RSFQ device fabrication process, we have focussed the reproducible process of sharp and straight step-edge formation as well as the ratio of film thickness to step height t/h. The spread of step-edge junction parameters was measured from each13 junctions with t/h=l/3, l/2, and 2/3 at various temperatures. We have demonstrated the simplified operation of the shift register at 65 K..

Reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition(RPCYD) technology has been investigated for the growth of SiGe epitaxial films with two dimensional in-situ doped boron impurities. The two dimensional $\delta$-doped impurities can supply high mobility carriers into the channel of SiGe heterostructure MOSFETs(HMOS). Process parameters including substrate temperature, flow rate of dopant gas, and structure of epitaxial layers presented significant influence on the shape of two dimensional dopant distribution. Weak bonds of germanium hydrides could promote high incorporation efficiency of boron atoms on film surface. Meanwhile the negligible diffusion coefficient in SiGe prohibits the dispersion of boron atoms: that is, very sharp, well defined two-dimensional doping could be obtained within a few atomic layers. Peak concentration and full-width-at-half-maximum of boron profiles in SiGe could be achieved in the range of 10$^{18}$ -10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ and below 5 nm, respectively. These experimental results suggest that the present method is particularly suitable for HMOS devices requiring a high-precision channel for superior performance in terms of operation speed and noise levels to the present conventional CMOS technology.

A reactor vibration monitoring has been performed using neutron noise obtained from excore detectors for the safety operation, Traditionally, the spectral estimator based on Fourier analysis has been widely used in the noise analysis of the reactor system. If the bias is too severe, the resolution would not be adequate for a given application. One major motivation for the current interests in the parametric approach to spectral estimation is the apparent higher resolution achievable with these modern techniques. In considering an unbias, a consistency, an efficency, and a minimum lower bound of the statictic estimation, an AR model is appropriate for noise spectral estimation with sharp peaks but not deep valley. In order to select an appropriate model order, the lag value of autocorrleaton function is applied. Burg method to trace the vibration mode of RPV internal is the most sucuessful.

Characteristics of various material surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chips were investigated in angular interrogation mode and intensity interrogation mode. Among five metals, silver (Ag), gold (Au), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr) and titanium (Ti), three metals, Ag, Au and Cu were paid attention to since their characteristics can be easily analyzed in angular interrogation mode by investigating the change of their reflectance curves according to refractive index change from 1.331 to 1.335. Most of SPR chips with various configurations showed the similar property in angular interrogation mode. The application of the SPR chip made of Ag, Au and Cu or their combinations depends on their reflectance properties. In intensity interrogation mode, the operation range may be limited since the variation of the intensity was not linearly related to refractive index change ranging from 1.331 to 1.335. However, the SPR chip containing high ratio of Ag may be applicable to high sensitive detection due to their sharp reflectance curves in intensity interrogation mode.

In order to operate the computerized traffic signal system, it requires the detectors which ensure the exact detections of actual traffic data (e.g., traffic volume, occupancy and velocity of vehicles). The octagonal detectors are used currently in Korea. However, the maintenance of the detectors has many problems with the road repairs and the constructions on the pavement, and failure due to the disconnection of the wires. Serious delay due to the long installation time of loops also causes the traffic disturbances. The low sensitivities and splash-over effect can sometimes create error data after installation of the octagonal loops. The mai purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of domestic use of the round (circular) inductive loops which developed recently in U.S.A. It was found that the round loops are comparable to the existing octagonal loops. In addition, the use of the high quality of materials in the round loop system can reduce the current problems and weakpoints of the octagonal loops. The installation cost of the round loop was found out as economic as the octagonal loop. The installation time of the round loop system can be reduced with the specially equipped loop truck, and wide/deep slots without sharp corners can extend the durability without serious stress of loop head wires. In conclusion, the round loop is superior to the octagonal type in overall points. It is recommended that the localization of the materials and equipments of round loop system is required to carry out the extensive local installations. Also, several contractors to meet the nationwide demand should be arranged to gurantee the proper maintenance and operation of the systems.

Postoperative cardiac outputs and other hernoaynamic values were serially measured in fifteen patients of cyanotic congenital heart disease, after use of blood cardioplegic solution. Cardiac indices showed no change untill eight postoparative hours, then it began to decline to reach as low as 3.22$\pm$0.7L/min/m2 at 12 hours. After then gradual increse occ-ured to recover upto immediate postoperative value at 20 hours. Sharp decrese of heart rate and increse of systemic vascular resistance during 8~16 hours and steady increase of stroke indices during the whole study periods were observed. These observations suggested that the myocardium recovered gradually after open heart surgery, and that the decrease of cardiac indices during 8~16 hours could be a result of decrease of heart rates and increase of afterload. The changes of cardiac indices correlated with the changes of heart rate, postoperative time and mixed venous oxygen saturation [p<0.05]. No other hemodynamic values found to be in statistically significant correlation with the changes of cardiac indices. Left ventricular dysfunction seemed to occur more frequently during 8~12 hours, but it was not statistically significant. [p=0.73] In conclusion, great care must be taken during 2~3 days after the operation of cyanotic congenital heart disease, not to fall into a low cardiac output state, by maintaing adequate heart rates and reducing afterload especially when the systemic vascular resistance increases.

The pilot study was conducted to (i) investigate the ability of various membrane integrity monitoring methods to detect changes in membrane integrity during operation, and (ii) determine the impact of membrane damage on microbial removal by microfiltration. Two variations of air pressure hold tests were investigated for direct integrity monitoring: pressure decay (PD) and diffusive air flow (DAF) tests which are most commonly used integrity tests for microfiltration (MF) membranes. Both PD and DAF tests were sensitive enough to detect one damaged fiber out of 66,000 under field operaing conditions. Indirect integrity monitoring such as turbidity and particle counting, however, responded poorly to defects in membrane systems. Microbial challenge study was performed using both new and deliberately damaged membranes, as well as varying the state of fouling of the membrane. This study demonstrated that MF membrane with nominal pore size $0.2{\mu}m$ was capable of removing various pathogens including coliform, spore, and cryptosporidium, at the level required by drinking water regulations, even when high operating pressures were applied. A sharp decrease in average log reduction value (LRV) was observed when one fiber was damaged, emphasizing the importance of membrane integrity in control of microbial contamination.

This paper aims to seek ways of optimizing the operations of Collaborative Digital Reference Service(CDRS) in Korea. CDRS tries to specialize the reference service through world-wide collaborative service. In this study seven international CDRS services including "QuestionPoint" operated by ALA and one national service, "Ask a Librarian" by the National Library of Korea were surveyed. A focused analysis of CDRS in Korea shows not only a sharp increase in use by the public, but also much application in research and academic activities by university students and workers.

In this paper, Analysis of parameters effecting on the derailment factor was conducted in oder to deduce technical requisites have to be reflected in design of Track and rolling-stocks because it is important to grasp the risk of derailment quantitatively. And then go far toward becoming practical study with that select two section of sharp curved track of actual train in service, incheon Metro Line 1 and make field research in condition of vehicles and track and analysis As a result of parameter study, the following conclusions were obtained. The radius of curve and Cant is in inverse proportion to the derailment factor, but as train operation velocity, standard deviation of alignment irregularity and the ratio lateral force : wheel load of the inside track increase, the derailment factor rise. In the investigation for the derailment safety of incheon Metro Line 1, the derailment factor was below 0.43 in both section R=200 and R=300, so that it proved safe compare with allowance limits 0.8, but it appeared that risk of the derailment in second transition curve is the highest among the entire curve.
