Target strength (TS) information is an important parameter that estimates the detection, distribution, and abundance of Aurelia aurita. In order to investigate the biological TS of jellyfish, some factors such as size (bell diameter), tilt angle, pulsation, and symbion should be known. In the ex situ TS measurements, the tilt angles and pulsation from synchronized swimming behavior of four live A. aurita (bell diameters in the air: 54.2 ~ 94.2 mm) were measured with the acoustic data at 70 kHz. The reduced target strength (RTS) of A. aurita was found to change ranged from 13.4 ~ 16.5 dB according to the incidence angles from $-30^{\circ}$ to $24^{\circ}$. When the change rate of bell diameter in the water was 0.2, the TS value showed a 7.2 dB change. These results could be utilized as an important data to understand the acoustic characteristic scattering of A. aurita.

Acoustic target strength (TS) of 12 commercially important fish species caught in the Korean waters had been investigated and their results were presented. Laboratory measurements of target strength on 12 dominant fish species were carried out at a frequencies of 75 kHz by single beam method under the controlled condition of the water tank with the 241 samples of dead and live fishes. The target strength pattern on individual fish of each species was measured as a function of tilt angle, ranging from $-45^{\circ}$ (head down aspect) to $45^{\circ}$ (head up aspect) in $0.2^{\circ}$ intervals, and the averaged target strength was estimated by assuming the tilt angle distribution as N ($-5.0^{\circ}$, $^15.0{\circ}$). The 75 to fish length relationship for each species was independently derived by a least - squares fitting procedure. Also, a linear regression analysis for all species was performed to reduce the data to a set of empirical equations showing the variation of target strength to fish length and fish species. An empirical model for fish target strength(TS, dB) averaged over the dorsal aspect of 158 fishes of 7 species and which spans the fish length(L, m) to wavelength(${\lambda}$, m) ratio between 6.2 and 21.3 was derived: TS: 27.03 Log(L)-7.7Log(${\kanbda}$)-17.21, ($r^2$=0.59).

Although ex situ target strength (TS) measurements using dual- and split-beam systems have become the primary approach of estimating fish abundance, theoretical model estimation is a powerful tool for verifying the measurements, as well as for providing values when making direct measurements is difficult. TS values for 20 samples of live bambooleaf wrasse (Pseudolabrus japonicus) whose target length (TL) ranged between 13.7 and 21.3 cm were estimated theoretically using the Kirchhoff-ray mode model, and the TS values for 18 live fish samples were additionally measured at ${\sim}0^{\circ}$ tilt angle to the swimming aspect using a tethered method at a frequency of 120 kHz to verify the theoretical values. The digitizing intervals used to extract the fish body and swim bladder morphology in the X-ray photographs significantly affected the calculated TS patterns, but variations based on the speed of sound and density ratio values for the general range of fish flesh were relatively small (within 1 dB). Close agreement was observed between the measured and theoretical TS values, and the correlation between the average TS and body length of the fish could be calculated accurately as <$TS_{120kHz}$>= 20logTL (cm) -71.6 using the theoretical method.

A study on Nacelle Lidar (Light detection and ranging) measurement error and the data reliability verification was carried out at Haengwon wind farm on Jeju Island. For measurement data error processing, the characteristics of Nacelle Lidar measurements were analyzed by dividing into three parts, which are weather conditions (temperature, humidity, atmosphere, amount of precipitation), mechanical movement (rotation of wind turbine blades, tilt variation of Nacelle Lidar) and Nacelle Lidar data availability. After processing the measurement error, the reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was assessed by comparing with wind data by an anemometer on a met mast, which is located at a distance of 200m from the wind turbine with Nacelle Lidar. As a result, various weather conditions and mechanical movement did not disturb reliable data measurement. Nacelle Lidar data with availability of 95% or more could be used for checking Nacelle Lidar wind data reliability. The reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was very high with regression coefficient of 98% and coefficient of determination of 97%.

High spatial and temporal surface pressure measurements were carried out in the state-of-the-art tornado simulator, the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Dome, to explore the characteristics of stationary and translating tornado-like vortices (TLV) for a wide range of swirl ratios (S=0.21 to 1.03). The translational speed of the TLV and the surface roughness were varied to examine their effects on tornado ground pressures, wandering, and vortex structure. It was found that wandering is more pronounced at low swirl ratios and has a substantial effect on the peak pressure magnitude for stationary TLV (error percentage ≤ 35%). A new method for removing wandering was proposed which is applicable for a wide range of swirl ratios. For translating TLV, the near-surface part lagged behind the top of the vortex, resulting in a tilt of the tornado vertical axis at higher translating speeds. Also, a veering motion of the tornado base towards the left of the direction of the translation was observed. Wandering was less pronounced for higher translation speeds. Increasing the surface roughness caused an analogous effect as lowering the swirl ratio.

Scale model measurements should be conducted under an actual sky or in a simulated sky where conditions can be held constant. A number of successful attempts have been made to develop artificial sky domes with man-made sun emulators. With reference to formerly-developed examples, sky simulator facility has recently been activated in oder to provide desirable sky conditions for teaching and studies. The structure is a 6m-diameter dome and promises to set various condition for energy related and lighting research activities. The sky dome is also equipped a heliodon, the tilt table, to facilitate additive direct sun impact under clear skies. Shading studies, using scale models with the heliodon, reveal how a building's design blocks or permits light's passage to the interior; solar access studies, and tests of the reflection and transmittance characteristics of new daylighting technologies. The design and construction specification and the initial operating experience with a building configuration are reported.

The properties of Ni/Au Ohmic contacts formed on nonpolar a-plane GaN grown on r-plane sapphire substrate with different tilt angles are investigated using current-voltage (I-V) measurements. To investigate the effects of pattern direction and size on Ohmic contact properties of a-plane GaN, transmission line method (TLM) patterns are formed either along c-axis and m-axis on nonpolar GaN surface with different size. I-V measurement results show that the size of TLM pattern and formation direction of electrode have an effect on the electrical properties of a-plane GaN. The large sized patterns show the relatively lower sheet resistance compared to the small sized patterns. In addition, the sheet resistance of a-plane GaN along m-axis shows lower values than that along the c-axis. Finally, the effects of miscut angle of r-sapphire substrate ($0.2^{\circ}$, 0.4oand $0.6^{\circ}$) on electrical properties of a-plane GaN will be discussed.

Structural measurements obtained from accelerometers, strain gauges. and tilt meters at Ieodo ocean research station was analyzed. In the acceleration signals, dynamic characteristics of the station were round by using the measured dynamic responses under different wave attacks and were compared with those by numerical analysis. Data from strain gauges and tilt-meters were also analyzed to identify the present state of dynamic response. Effect of wave height on the dynamic characteristics were investigated. The present results and those which will be measured and analyzed later can be used to identify and to assess the state of the station whether it is health or not.

For the fabrication of PMOS and integrated semiconductor devices, B, $BF_2$ and dual elements with B and $BF_2$ can be implanted in silicon. 15 keV B ions were implanted in silicon at $7^{\circ}$ wafer tilt and a dose of $3.0{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-2}$. 67 keV $BF_2$ ions were implanted in silicon at $7^{\circ}$ wafer tilt and a dose of $3.0{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-2}$. For dual implantations, 67 keV $BF_2$ and 15keV B were carried out with two implantations with dose of $1.5{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-2}$ instead of $3.0{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-2}$, respectively. For the electrical activation, the implanted samples were annealed with rapid thermal annealing at $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 30 seconds. The implanted profiles were characterized by using secondary ion mass spectrometry in order to measure profiles. The implanted and annealed results show that concentration profiles for the ${BF_2}^+$ implant are shallower than those for a single $B^+$ and dual ($B^+$ and ${BF_2}^+$) implants in silicon. This effect was caused by the presence of fluorine which traps interstitial silicon and ${BF_2}^+$ implants have lower diffusion effect than a single and dual implantation cases. For the fabricated diodes, current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) were also measured with HP curve tracer and C-V plotter. Electrical measurements showed that the dual implant had the best result in comparison with the other two cases for the turn on voltage characteristics.

Long-term complications such as loosening, wear, osteolytic lesion and granulomatous reaction by foreign bodies can occur, after total hip arthroplasty. The implantation alignment effects dislocation and wear, according to its amount and direction. Wear particles in total hip arthroplasty brings about biochemical complications such as osteolysis or send wear. In this sense, it is important to regularly check wear and alignment of total hip replacement. Because the wear in followup of 10 years may remain in a small amount, like a 1 or 2 mm generally, somewhat precise measurement tool has to be established. The wear and alignment measurement softwares commercially available currently lack in project saving or reproducibility. This study suggests a reliable method for the measurement using an X-ray image and a CAD software. The proposed method can be executed only if having a CAD software under most of current general clinical radiographical environment. The proposed was revealed through tests for the method to have accuracy of 0.06 mm with precision of 0.05 mm for wear measurement, and precision of 0.27 degrees for tilt measurement.
