Laser Thomson scattering measurements of electrom temperature and density in a neutral loop discharge (NLD) plasma were performed in order to reveal the electron behavior around the neutral loop (NL). The experimental results were examined by using a simulation model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field with spatial decay of the RF electric field, and the limitation of the spatial extent of the electron motion and collision effect. From the experiments and modeling of the electron behavior, it was found that NLD plasma posses the electron temeprature $T_{e}$ and density ne peaks around the NL is essential for the formation of plasma. Also, the optimum condition of plasma production could be simply estimated by the calculation of $U_{av}$ and $F_{0}$././.

The duration of spatial memory in cattle is potentially important for grazing management. The ability of livestock to remember the location of food patches may lead to uneven range use. In this experiment, how long cattle are able to remember food locations was determined. Six steers were used to conduct this study in a pasture with an 8 row by 8 column grid of 64 plastic containers 5 meters apart. Four randomly chosen containers were loaded with feed pellets. All steers were trained to find the loaded locations until a minimum of empty containers were visited. After this initial training, each steer was tested at 5, 10, 20 and 48 days post-training. Total number of visits (TV), number of containers visited (NC), the ratio of loaded containers (LC) to NC were recorded. Once the steers learned the locations of loaded containers NC did not increase with time since last training up to 48 days (p>0.05). Logarithmic transformation of NC (LNC) was 0.70 and 0.80 for the control and 48 day treatments, respectively. Steers were equally efficient in locating containers with feed. The steers also showed that their ability in locating food was much better than expected by chance (Z>1.62). Findings of the present study do not suggest using spatial memory decay as a tool to promote better grazing distribution. Because steers remembered food locations accurately for at least 48 days.

As increasing interest for soot emission. etc in combustion systems, various studies are being carried out for the reduction and measurement techniques of soot. Especially, laser induced incandescence is the useful measurement technique which has distinguished spatial and temporal resolution for primary particle size, volume fraction and aggregated particle size etc. Time resolved laser induced incandescence is the technique for measuring primary particle size that is decided to solve the signal decay rate which is related to the cooling behavior of heated particle by pulsed laser. The cooling behavior of heated particle is able to represent the heat and mass transfer model which are involved constants of soot property for surround gas temperature on the our previous work. In this study, it is applied to the time-dependence thermodynamic properties for soot temperature instead of constants of soot property for surround gas temperature and compared two different model results.

Cancer therapy using high-energy $^{12}$ C ions is successfully under way at HIMAC, Japan. An alternative beam to $^{12}$ C is $^{11}$ C ions. The merit of $^{11}$ C over $^{12}$ C is its capability for monitoring spatial distribution of the irradiated $^{11}$ C by observing the $\beta$$^{+}$ decay with a good position resolution. One of the several problems to be solved before its use for therapy is the amount of nuclear interaction that deteriorates the dose concentration owing to the Bragg curve. Utilizing the dedicated secondary beam course for R&D studies at HIMAC, we measured the total energy loss of $^{11}$ C ions in a scintillator block that simulates the soft tissue in human bodies. In addition to the total absorption $^{11}$ C peak, non-negligible bump-shaped contribution is observed in the energy spectrum. The origin of the bump contribution can be nuclear interaction of the incident $^{11}$ C ions with hydrogen and carbon atoms. Further studies to reduce the ambiguity in dose distribution are mentioned.

In order to obtain guidelines for design and operation of a new plasma source by a magnetic neutral loop discharge(NLD), the electron behavior was studied experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, the magnetic field gradient was changed over a wide range, and it was found that there existed an optimum value for efficient plasma production. Analyses of the electron behavior were performed using a model that included effects of a three dimensional electromagnetic field configuration considering the spatial decay of the electric field, and the limitation to the motion of electron caused by the existence of walls and thus electron loss at wall surfaces. These three dimensional factors were found to explain the existence of the optimum magnetic field gradient. It was shown that the L dependence of the plasma production efficiency was firstly decided by the finite decay length of the electric field strength, which was further modified by electron elastic collisions with neutral atoms which drove the electron to walls. The latter effect tends to reduce the optimum value of L.

Radon is an invisible, odorless, and radioactive gas. It is formed by the disintegration of radium, which is a decay product of uranium. Some amounts of radon gas and its products are present ubiquitously in the soil, water, and air. Particularly high radon levels occur in regions of high uranium content. Although radon is permeable into indoor environment not only through geological features (bed rock and permeability) but also through the construction materials and underground water, the radiation from the geological features is generally main exposure factor. So there can be a problem in a certain space such as the underground and/or relatively poor ventilation condition. In this study, a GIS technique was used in order to investigate spatial distribution of radon measured from sub- way stations of 1 thru 8 in Seoul, Korea in 1991, 1998, 2001, and 2006. Spatial analysis was applied to reproduce the radon distribution. We utilized spatial analysis techniques such as inverse distance weighted averaging (IDW) and kriging techniques which are widely used to relate between different spatial points. To validate the results from the analyses, the jackknife technique for an uncertainty test was performed. When the number of measuring sites was less than 100 and also when the number of omitted sites increased, the kriging technique was better than IDW. On the other hand, when the number of sites was over 100, IDW technique was better than kriging technique. Thus the selection of analytical tool was affected sensitives by the analysis based on the number of measuring sites.

미국 오하이오주 씬씨내티 대도시지역을 연구지역으로 하여 소규모 기업의 입지 및 연계 그리고 당면 문제점을 구명하였다. 현 입지의 유리성은 제품의 판매 용이가 가장 중요하게 나타나고 있으며 다음으로 고속도로와의 근접성이 중요한 입지조건이며 이들 기업의 물자의 공간연계는 아주 탄력적인 거리 조락 현상을 나타내고 있다. 지역별 물자의 공간연계를 보면 압도적 다수가 역내에서 공급되고 판매되어 소기업이 물자의 전방연계와 후방연계가 높고 지역경제에의 발전기여도가 높다는 기존의 주장들과 일치된다. 입지적 문제점 조사 결과는 전체적으로 불리한 입지조건이 없다는 응답이 가장 많았으나, 노동력 부족, 과다한 세금, 인접지역의 노후화, 용지부족이 현재 입지에서 불리한 것으로 조사되었다. 현재 소규모 기업이 당면하고 있는 가장 큰 문제는 양질의 노동력 확보가 어렵다는 것이며, 다음으로 제품 판매, 자금, 기술, 시설, 장비의 순으로 어려옴을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 외부조직과 자문하겠다는 기업이 많지 않으나 이들이 역내 자문조직을 선호하는 것으로 드러났다. 이를 통해 볼 때 양질의 노동력 배출이 우선 과제이며 소규모 기업에 대한 판로개척과 자금지원, 기술 상담 등이 주된 육성방향이라고 본다. 이를 위해 역내 소규모 기업들간의 긴밀한 네트워크가 형성될 필요가 있으며 이들을 지원하는 연구소, 기업 협동조합, 대학간의 상호 협력적인 네트워크 체계를 구축할 필요가 있다.

최근 다양한 목적의 대공간 사용이 보편화되고 있다. 이들 공간에 대한 다목적요구로 인해 최근 건립되는 대형 스포츠시설들은 스포츠뿐만 아니라 공연과 같은 다양한 이벤트를 수용하도록 요구받고 있다. 다양한 이벤트 상태의 제공을 위해서 건물의 일부를 부분적으로 개폐하는 방식의 사용이 빈번해지고 있으며 이와 같은 부분적 개폐는 자유음장과 확산음장의음향적 연결을 초래하여 음향설계단계에서 어려움을 초래할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 1/10 축소모형을 이용하여 확산음장과 자유음장의 음향적 연결에 따른 음장의 음향특성을 측정 분석하였다. 연구결과, 저중주파수 대역에서의 잔향시간은 개구율이 증가함에 따라 고주파수 대역에서보다 빠른 감쇠를 나타내었다. 또한 EDT는 모든 주파수대역에서 개구율 증가에 선형적으로 비례하여 감쇠하는 것으로 나타났다. 명료도는 개구율이 12.5%에 이르기까지 거의 영향을 받지 않으며 그 이후에는 선형적으로 비례하여 증가하였다. 에너지 감쇠패턴의 분석결과, 이중 및 삼중의 감쇠패턴이 나타나고 있으며, Schroeder 적분에 의한 잔향시간의 산출은 부적절한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 부분적 개방형 공간의 잔향예측에 있어서 EDT가 보다 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 지붕개폐형 구조물에서 지붕을 개폐함으로써 나타나는 음장의 특성변화를 파악하기 위하여 1/20스케일의 축소모형을 제작하고 이를 대상으로 개폐율을 조절하면서 음장변화를 측정 분석하였다. 공간의 음향설계 시 사용되는 기존의 설계 및 평가파라메타들을 검토한 결과, 잔향음의 감쇠과정이 비선형적이며 기존의 잔향감 평가파라메타인 잔향시간에 의해서 적절한 설계 및 성능평가가 이루어지기 어려울 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 비선형적 감쇠구간에 대한 선형적 curve-fitting에 의해 실제 청감과는 거리가 먼 매우 긴 잔향시간이 도출되어 실질적인 효용성이 의심된다. 따라서 잔향시간(T30)을 음향설계 및 평가과정에서 중요설계변수로 활용 시 완공 후 얻게 되는 음장특성과 상이한 결과를 초래할 가능성이 있다. EDT의 경우 전체적으로 초기감쇠시간은 개폐율이 증가할수록 짧아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 주파수별로 저주파수대역에서의 감쇠율이 가장 높게 나타났으며 고주파수 대역으로 갈수록 감쇠율은 둔화되는 것으로 평가되었다. 명료도 관련 파라메타인 D50 또한 개폐에 따른 음장의 변화를 효과적으로 나타내고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 객석부위별로는 지붕개폐면에 직접 노출되지 않는 객석에서 개폐율 증가에 따라 선형적인 감쇠현상이 나타나고 있으나, 직접 노출되는 객석의 경우에는 40%이상의 개폐율에서는 명료도와 잔향감에 영향을 거의 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well grown on GaN pyramid structures have attracted much attention due to their hybrid characteristics of quantum well, quantum wire, and quantum dot. This gives us broad band emission which will be useful for phosphor-free white light emitting diode. On the other hand, by using quantum dot emission on top of the pyramid, site selective single photon source could be realized. However, these structures still have several limitations for the single photon source. For instance, the quantum efficiency of quantum dot emission should be improved further. As detection systems have limited numerical aperture, collection efficiency is also important issue. It has been known that micro-cavities can be utilized to modify the radiative decay rate and to control the radiation pattern of quantum dot. Researchers have also been interested in nano-cavities using localized surface plasmon. Although the plasmonic cavities have small quality factor due to high loss of metal, it could have small mode volume because plasmonic wavelength is much smaller than the wavelength in the dielectric cavities. In this work, we used localized surface plasmon to improve efficiency of InGaN qunatum dot as a single photon emitter. We could easily get the localized surface plasmon mode after deposit the metal thin film because lnGaN/GaN multi quantum well has the pyramidal geometry. With numerical simulation (i.e., Finite Difference Time Domain method), we observed highly enhanced decay rate and modified radiation pattern. To confirm these localized surface plasmon effect experimentally, we deposited metal thin films on InGaN/GaN pyramid structures using e-beam deposition. Then, photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence were carried out to measure the improvement of radiative decay rate (Purcell factor). By carrying out cathodoluminescence (CL) experiments, spatial-resolved CL images could also be obtained. As we mentioned before, collection efficiency is also important issue to make an efficient single photon emitter. To confirm the radiation pattern of quantum dot, Fourier optics system was used to capture the angular property of emission. We believe that highly focused localized surface plasmon around site-selective InGaN quantum dot could be a feasible single photon emitter.
