  • Capacitorless one transistor dynamic random access memory (1T-DRAM) cells were fabricated on the fully depleted strained-silicon-on-insulator (FD sSOI) and the effects of silicon back interface state on buried oxide (BOX) layer on the memory properties were evaluated. As a result, the fabricated 1T-DRAM cells showed superior electrical characteristics and a large sensing current margin (${\Delta}I_s$) between "1" state and "0" state. The back interface of SOI based capacitorless 1T-DRAM memory cell plays an important role on the memory performance. As the back interface properties were degraded by increase rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, the performance of 1T-DRAM was also degraded. On the other hand, the properties of back interface and the performance of 1T-DRAM were considerably improved by post RTA annealing process at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in a 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient.

  • The interface-states between the top silicon layer and buried oxide layer of nano-SOI substrate were developed. Also, the effects of thermal treatment processes on the interface-state distributions were investigated for the first time by using pseudo-MOSFETs. We found that the interface-state distributions were strongly influenced by the thermal treatment processes. The interface-states were generated by the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. Increasing the RTA temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, the interface-state density considerably increased. Especially, a peak of interface-states distribution that contributes a hump phenomenon of subthreshold curve in the inversion mode operation of pseudo-MOSFETs was observed at the conduction band side of the energy gap, hut it was not observed in the accumulation mode operation. On the other hand, the increased interface-state density by the RTA process was effectively reduced by the relatively low temperature annealing process in a conventional thermal annealing (CTA) process.

  • Strain-softening model is developed to characterize the interface behavior of geomembrane with geotextile and geosynthetic clay liner(GCL). The model proposed in this research is calibrated by using data from direct shear tests conducted on smooth and textured geomembrane. The research is divided into two regions, pre-peak and post-peak, to take into account of strain-softening effect. Although slight difference between measured and back calculated data is observed under high normal stress, good agreements, in general, are found from back calculations. Especially, good consistency is observed in the case of low normal stress. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the proposed model can be a reasonable constitutive law to figure out the behavior of strain-softening between interfaces of geomembrane. In addition, DSC(Disturbed State Concept) model is also presented for further application in geosynthetic interfaces.

  • Current subway station's office employee must perform safety management tasks by monitoring the various safety management systems. But these monitoring systems are limited in effective situational awareness and response to a state of emergency immediately. It is necessary to develop an integrated safety management system display. In this study, we developed subway station safety management system's (CCTV, fire detection & alarm system, screen door control equipment) integrated prototype display with ecological interface design framework and evaluated prototype display interface's usability with GOMS model. The result was that the ecological interface's performance was better than existing safety management system's interface.

  • While driving, the manual use of a mobile phone is heavily restricted due to the interference with the primary driving task. An alternative would be the use of speech interface. The current study aims to provide a guideline to implementation of a speech interface to the mobile phone. To do so, an expert evaluation was made and it revealed that a speech interface requires less workload, less performance degradation of the driving task than that of the keypad interface. To make speech interfaces more usable, new improvements are suggested. Subjective workload can be reduced and user satisfaction can be improved without degrading the primary task performance, for instance, by letting the user interrupt the speech of the phone, eliminating the repetitive words, letting the user know clearly what makes an error, providing a way to go back to the previous state, reducing the usage of keypad buttons and reducing the amount of the information on the screen.

  • Currently, we are living in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. In the field of shipping industry, the MASS is a revolutionary game changer in the making arising out of such an industrial and technical innovation in the pursuit of radically challenging the pre-existing system of a human-operated vessel. Given this trend, the entire maritime regulatory regime, which has been designed by, and intertwined with, human seaworthiness, abruptly faces the most unprecedented normative confrontations now and increasingly in the coming days. As the constitution of ocean, UNCLOS, provides, every flag state is obliged to effectively exercise its jurisdiction to secure technical and human seaworthiness. Moreover, the coastal state may institute protective proceedings against vessels in respect of any violations of its laws to protect its marine environment in maritime zones of the coastal state. Further, UNCLOS acknowledges that the port state's authority extends to take administrative measures to prevent sub-standard ships from sailing within the ports or offshore-terminals of the state. These three jurisdictional functions will be required to more closely interface with each other than ever over the legal and political implications created by MASS. Although states' jurisdictional nuances are significant in this present world tilting back to protectionism, there are few articles to present jurisdictional issues of states and conceivable normative discourse with regard to MASS. This articles visits potential jurisdictional conflicts underlying MASS and tries to strike balance between contradictory interpretive approaches under UNCLOS while it is undeniable that this doctrinal research tends to strive to find justifications within the current framework of international law.

  • The dynamic behavior of fatty acid monolayers at the air-water interface was investigated using a displacement current-measuring technique coupled with the so-called Langmuir film technique and also the dipole moment of the acids was determined. The displacement current flowing though a short circuit wan generated only when induced charges on an electrode flowing though suspended in air was changed by monolayer compression. The displacement current measurement was found to be a very sensitive method used for a better understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of the monolayers placed on the water surface and it was also found to be a very useful method for detecting the dynamic motion of molecules in the entire range from the so-called gaseous state to solid state at the same time. In the paper investigate fatty monolayer dynamic state and electric property character. As result. Displacement current generate higher nearly distance electrodel and water surface. Also, Molecule behavior was found pocess active higher thermal.

  • In this paper, we propose an EEG-based mental state prediction method during a mental tasks. In the experimental task, a subject goes through the process of responding to visual stimulus, understanding the given problem, controlling hand motions, and hitting a key. Considering the subject's varying brain activities, we model subjects' mental states with defining selection time. EEG signals from four subjects were recorded while they performed three mental tasks. Feature vectors defined by these representations were classified with a standard, feed-forward neural network trained via the error back-propagation algorithm. We expect that the proposed detection method can be a basic technology for brain-computer interface by combining with left/right hand movement or cognitive decision discrimination methods.

  • Driving simulations were performed to evaluate the effect of providing both visual information and body sensory information on changes in steering characteristics and the amount of perspiration in drift cornering. When the driver is provided with body sensory information and visual information, the amount of perspiration increases and the driver can perform drift control with a moderate level of tension. With visual information only, the driver tends to easily go into a spin because drift control is difficult. In this case, the amount of perspiration increases greatly as compared with the case where body sensory information is also provided, reflecting a very high perception of risk. When body sensory information is provided, the driver can control drift adequately, feeding back the roll angle information in steering. The importance of the driver's perception of the state of the vehicle was thus confirmed, and a desirable future direction for driver assistance systems was determined.

  • This paper presents results from a study undertaken to quantitatively evaluate the geotextile pore sizes using optical image analysis. The evaluation was conducted by observing surfaces of coupons cut from resin-impregnated specimens of geotextile-geomembrane layered under various load conditions. Stereological concepts were applied to collect representative specimens from a series of laboratory tests. The sizes of voids enclosed by filaments were expressed in terms of the largest inscribing opening size (LIOS) distribution. The opening diameter corresponding to the 50% cumulative frequency decreased by about 45mm as the load increased from 10 to 300kPa and recovered to about 90% of its initial state on unloading back to 10kPa. The average void size was reduced by 32 and 16.5% as the geotextile was sheared against a textured geomembrane under normal stresses of 100 and 300kPa, respectively. The results showed how the LIOS distribution varied as a function of normal stress and interface shear displacement against a smooth and a textured geomembrane surfaces.
