In this study, we used the Monte Carlo N-Particle program to simulate the gamma-ray spectra obtained from plastic scintillators holes filled with bismuth nanoparticles. We confirmed that the incorporation of bismuth nanoparticles into a plastic scintillator enhances its performance for gamma-ray spectroscopy using the subtraction method. The subtracted energy spectra obtained from the bismuth-nanoparticle-incorporated and the original plastic scintillator exhibit a distinct energy peak that does not appear in the corresponding original spectra. We varied the diameter and depth of the bismuth-filled holes to determine the optimal hole design for gamma-ray spectroscopy using the subtraction method. We evaluated the energy resolutions of the energy peaks in the gamma-ray spectra to estimate the effects of the bismuth nanoparticles and determine their optimum volume in the plastic scintillator. In addition, we calculated the peak-to-total ratio of the energy spectrum to evaluate the energy measuring limit of the bismuth nanoparticle-containing plastic scintillator using the subtraction method.

A photonic crystal fiber with two large air holes outside the holey cladding region is fabricated to induce an effective long periodic grating (LPG) in the core by an electric arc discharge. We believe that the two large air holes lead to the asymmetric perturbation in the core under the electric arc discharge, thereby introducing the coupling to the first higher-order mode. The transmission characteristics of the PCF with the LPG for the external perturbation such as strain, curvature, and temperature are also investigated. It was found that the shift of resonance peak in the transmission spectrum depends on the bending direction. The curvature of 8.55 $m^{-1}$ results in the center wavelength shifts of 1.8, 4.3, and 11 nm for a vertical, diagonal, and horizontal direction of the curvature to the large air-hole alignment, respectively.

스펙트럼 센싱은 인지무선통신(CR, Cognitive Radio) 네트워크를 구성함에 있어 핵심적인 기술 중에 하나이다. 2차 사용자인 CR사용자는 1차 사용자에게 간섭을 주지 않기 위해 스펙트럼을 센싱 하여 해당 채널이 비어있거나 규정된 레벨 이하일 경우에만 해당 채널을 사용하게 된다. 최근 스마트폰의 사용으로 데이터의 트래픽이 증가함에 따라 광대역 서비스가 급증하고 있으며, 그에 따라 한 번에 넓은 대역을 센싱하는 광대역 센싱 기법의 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 이러한 광대역 센싱은 인지무선통신이 수행되기 위한 매우 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 높은 분해능을 갖는 광대역 센싱을 수행하기 위해서는 신뢰 할 수 있는 신호를 얻기 위한 알고리즘 처리가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 채널 상태가 좋지 않은 부 대역을 제외한 나머지 대역을 CR 사용자가 각각 센싱하여 정보를 취합하여 1차 사용자의 유무를 결정하는 협력 센싱 기법을 제안하였다. 이 때, 신호의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 각각의 부 대역으로 나눈 CSI(Channel State Information)를 이용하여, 채널 상태를 파악한다. 또한, 검출 기법으로는 시스템 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 에너지검출 기법을 사용한다. 모의실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였고 그 성능은 SNR(Signal Noise ratio)에 따른 검출 확률로 나타내었다.

In this study, blue light emiting, soluble PPV copolymers were synthesized by Witting reaction and characterized. ITO/copolymer/Ca and ITO/copolymer/A1 structured light emitting diodes(LED) were fabricated and their I-V characteristics were examined. Copolymers showed $\pi$-$\pi$ transition in UV-Vis./NIR spectra. The PL and abosorption spectrum showed the symmetric vibration modes with mirror images which means that copolymers are highly aligned. By introducing aliphatic hydrocarbon group on polymer main chain, the solubility of copolymers was improved and no significant effects of substituent were observed. The band offset of copolymers are well suited as light emitting material for LED application than monomer or oligomer does. THe band offset of copolymers is ∼3eV in PL spectrum and the threshold voltages of ITO/copolymer/Ca and ITO/copolymer/Al structured LED 3V, 12V respectively. In the case of ITO/copolymer/Ca LED, it is believed that the amount of electrons and holes is well balanced and the recombination of opposite charges occurs easily because the work functions of Ca and Al electrodes are 2.9 and 4.3eV respectively and the difference in barrier height between polymer and electrode was small.

This study was carried out to investigate a point of difference between normal and inferior Korean red ginseng (Naeback red ginseng = red ginseng with white part of clear boundary in phloem and/or xylem of ginseng body, saengnaeback red ginseng red ginseng with white part of indistinct boundary). White part with clear or indistinct boundary in center of ginseng body was observed in inferior red ginseng (naeback and saengnaeback red ginseng), and the differences in the internal color intensity was also found with naked eye. In hunter color values of normal and inferior parts of red ginseng in accordance with particle size, L value was increased with a diminishment in particle size, while a and b value were decreased. Absorbance at visible spectrum did not differ from water and 70% ethanol extract from normal and inferior parts of red ginseng, but absorbance in UV spectrum of extract from naeback part showed higher than those of normal and saengnaeback part. In comparison of intrastructure by electron microscope, the horizontal and vertical section of cortex and pith layer from normal part showed the very dense state, but small holes were found in naeback part of red ginseng by naked eye and electron microscope. The specific surface area of normal, naeback and saengnaeback part appeared 3.02, 3.33 and 6.55 ㎡/g, respectively. From above results, we consider saengnaeback red ginseng is red ginseng in the intermediate process which normal red ginseng changes to naeback red ginseng.

Photoelectric characteristics of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor(a-Si:H TFT) were obtained for the illumination from various backlight sources and the results were compared and analyzed in terms of the photon energy spectral characteristics of the backlights obtained from the integration of the multiplication of the photon energy and the spectral intensity at etch wavelength. It was possible to conclude that the absorption of illuminated backlight to a-Si:H layer and the generation of electrons and holes are mainly carried out at the wavelength less than 500nm.

This paper deals with the comparison of signal processing techniques of ultrasonic data. The goal of signal processing is the ultrasonic speckle suppression and the visibility enhancement of flaw-reflected ultrasonic echo. The performance of conventional SSP(split spectrum processing) method and the wavelet denoising method are compared and discussed for tested ultrasonic data. Tested ultrasonic data obtained from the weld area of centrifugal-casted stainless steel material and safe-ending material with holes and notch of variable depths are presented. In experimental results, the outputs of wavelet-based denoising method show the clear and sharp peaks at the positions of flaw-reflected echos comparing with those of SSP method.

The present study investigates flow characteristics in an optical disc drive. Detailed knowledge of the flow characteristics is essential to analyze flow-induced noise and vibration, forced convection and flow friction loss. The ODD used in the personal computer is used for the experiment and rotating velocity of disc is under the 4500 rpm. Time-resolved velocity components and velocity spectrum are obtained using the laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). The results show that the front holes reduce now-induced noise and the position of pickup body affects flow near the window. In addition, il is possible for cooling of heat sources in an optical disc drive through measuring the flow fields under the tray.

Luminescence of bismuth activated CaS, CaS:Bi, prepared in sodium polysulfide is studied. Excitation spectrum of CaS:Bi shows a band at 350 nm due to the recombination process between holes in Na+Ca2+ and electrons in conduction bands, in addition to bands at 260 nm from band gap of CaS, and at 320 nm (1S0→1P1) and at 420 nm (1S0→3P1) from electronic energy transitions of Bi. Emission band at 450 nm is from 3P1→1S0 transition of Bi3+, bands at 500 nm and 580 nm correspond to recombinations of electron donors (Bi3+Ca2+ and VS2-) with acceptors (VCa2+ and Na+Ca2+). Emission band of 3P1→1S0 transition is shifted to longer wavelength from CaS:Bi to BaS:Bi, due to the increase of the Stokes shift by the decrease of the crystal field parameter from CaS:Bi to BaS:Bi.

인지전파 기술은 유효한 스펙트럼을 찾기 위하여 면허사용자(주사용자)의 존재를 검출하는 적절한 센싱 기술이 필요하다. 또한 분산형 ad-hoc 네트워크의 경우 검출된 정보는 부사용자 간에 서로 제공될 수 있어야 한다. 동시에 주사용자의 성능은 부사용자에 의하여 열화 되지 않아야 한다. 특히, 주사용자의 검출은 음영지역에서는 매우 어렵다. 이를 위하여 분산형 협력 스펙트럼 센싱 기술이 제안되었는데 이는 검출 성능을 향상하기 위하여 다수의 부사용자에 의하여 검출된 정보를 협력적으로 조합하는 방법이다. 그러나 이 기술은 주사용자를 검출하는 정확성과 신속성 측면에서 성능 향상이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 UWB를 사용하여 주사용자를 검출하고 또 이를 사용하여 검출된 정보를 부사용자 노드들에게 제공하는 방법을 제안하였다. UWB는 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능한 장점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 underlay 방법으로 주사용자와 공존하여 전송이 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 UWB를 사용한 주사용자의 검출 확률 측면에서 개선이 됨을 보였다. 또한 throughput을 해석한 결과 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하여 개선되었음을 보였다.
