The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of fresh red paprika treated by electron-beam irradiation at quarantine doses. The initial microbial loads were low with $10^4$ and $10^2$ colony-forming units/g for total aerobic bacteria and coliform, respectively; however, a dose of 1 kGy resulted in load reduction of 1 log cycle. A dose level of more than 1 kGy caused significant decreases in the hardness and carotenoid content parameters. An applied dose level of less than 2 kGy did not affect vitamin C content; however, a decrease of 87-90% was observed after 40-day storage. Samples treated with 2 kGy showed significantly lower acceptance compared to the control, with lower sensory evaluation scores for color and texture. Therefore, e-beam irradiation at dose range of 0.4 and 1 kGy was found to be appropriate for quarantine applications for microbiological control and quality maintenance of paprika.

Conventionally, a pulse radar is used for middle-sized or large-sized ships to detect other ships or obstacles located at a long distance. However, it is hardly equipped for most of the small-sized ships due to mounting and maintenance costs. Therefore, FMCW(frequency modulated continuous wave) radar is suggested as an alternative for the small-sized ships. Since it operates with low power and has good range resolution for relatively close objects, it is eligible for the small-sized ships. In previously proposed FMCW radar system, it only estimates distance and velocity of a target ship placed in the direction of main beam and is hard to detect several ships simultaneously. Thus, we suggest the method for detecting several ships at the same time by applying MUSIC(multiple signal classification) algorithm to FMCW radar signal received by a phased array antenna. In addition, by combining digital beam forming with the MUSIC algorithm, better angle resolution is achievable.

최근 평판 디스플레이 산업의 발전에 따라 능동행렬 액정 표시 소자 (AMOLED : Active Matrix Organic Liquid Crystral Display) 가 차세대 디스플레이 분야에서 각광을 받고있다. 기존의 TFT-LCD에 사용되는 a-Si:H는 균일도가 좋지만 전기적인 스트레스에 의해 쉽게 열화되고 낮은 이동도는 갖는 단점이 있으며, ELA (Eximer Laser Annealing) 결정화 poly-Si은 전기적인 특성은 좋지만 uniformity가 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있어서 AMOLED 및 대면적 디스플레이에 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 a-Si:H TFT보다 좋은 전기적인 특성을 보이며 ELA 결정화 poly-Si TFT보다 좋은 uniformity를 갖는 SPC (Solid Phase Crystallization) poly-Si TFT가 주목을 받고있다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 디스플레이 적용을 위해서 glass 기판위에 증착된 a-Si을 SPC 로 결정화 시킨 후 TFT를 제작하고 평가하였다. 또한 TFT 형성시에 저온공정을 실현하기 위해서 소스/드레인 영역에 실리사이드를 형성시켰다. 소자 제작시의 최고온도는 $500^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 공정을 진행하는 저온 공정을 실현하였다. Glass 기판위에 a-Si이 80 nm 증착된 기판을 퍼니스에서 24시간 동안 N2 분위기로 약 $600^{\circ}C$ 에서 결정화를 진행하였다. 노광공정을 통하여 Active 영역을 형성시키고 E-beam evaporator를 이용하여 약 70 nm 의 Pt를 증착시킨 후, 소스와 드레인 영역의 실리사이드 형성은 N2 분위기에서 $450^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $550^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 통하여 형성하였다. 게이트 절연막은 스퍼터링을 이용하여 SiO2를 약 15 nm 의 두께로 증착하였다. 게이트 전극의 형성을 위하여 E-beam evaporator 을 이용하여 약 150 nm 두께의 알루미늄을 증착하고 노광공정을 통하여 게이트 영역을 형성 후 에 $450^{\circ}C$, H2/N2 분위기에서 약 30분 동안 forming gas annealing (FGA)을 실시하였다. 제작된 소자는 실리사이드 형성 온도에 따라서 각각 다른 특성을 보였으며 $450^{\circ}C$에서 실리사이드를 형성시킨 소자는 on currnet와 SS (Subthreshold Swing)이 가장 낮은것을 확인하였다. $500^{\circ}C$와 $550^{\circ}C$에서 실리사이드를 형성시킨 소자는 거의 동일한 on current와 SS값을 나타냈다. 이로써 glass 기판위의 SB-TFT 제작 시 실리사이드 형성의 최적온도는 $500^{\circ}C$로 생각되어 진다. 위의 결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 SPC 결정화 방법을 이용하여 SB-TFT를 성공적으로 제작 및 평가하였고, 차세대 디스플레이에 적용할 경우 우수한 특성이 기대된다.

Atomic behavior during ion beam sputtering was investigated by using classical molecular dynamics simulation. When Ar ion bombards on Au and Pd(001) surface with various incidence energies and angles, some atoms which gained substantial energy by impacting Ar ion were sputtered out and, simultaneously, others were landed on the surface as if surface atoms were redeposited. It was observed that the redeposited atoms are five times for Au and three times for Pd as many as sputtered atoms irrespective of both incidence energy and angle. From sequential ion bombarding calculations, contrary to the conventional concepts which have described the mechanism of surface pattern formation based only on the erosion theory, the redeposition atoms were turned out to play a significant role in forming the surface patterns.

Existing tubes for concrete filled tubular structure are made through welding of four plates irrespective, but the production performance is poor and special welding technique is needed to weld the internal or through diaphragm. Accordingly, We developed a welded built-up square steel tube having a welding lines and a stiffeners at location out of stress concentration. The welded built-up square steel tube occurred a interference with stiffeners at the internal or through diaphragm, therefore researches of a external diaphragm for welded built-up square CFT column connections are needed for the purpose of avoidance of a interfere with stiffeners. In this study we suggest a design formulation for external diaphragm of the welded built-up square CFT external diaphragm connections. Four specimens were manufactured for a experimental test, then we analyzed the behaviors of the specimens.

In this paper, a novel method of equalization of RF transceivers is suggested for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna actively studied for high speed data transmission in the recent IMT-2000 system. The core of suggestion is in equalizing the transfer characteristics of multiple transceivers using feedback and memory during the predefined calibration time. This makes it possible to weight the signals in the intermediate frequency, which is easier in the application of recently developed DoA(Direction of Arrival) algorithms. In addition, the time varying optimum cell formation according to traffic is feasible by antenna beam-forming based on the DoA information. The suggested method of equalizing multiple transceivers are successfully verified using envelope simulation. two outputs.

Pyramid type three roll bending machines are widely used in roll-bending process to produce singly curved plate. In forming singly curved plate, controlling the vertical displacement of the center roller is most important to acquire the shape required and automation system of the process. In this paper roller bending process is modeled as an elastic-plastic phenomenon and analyzed using beam theory and finite element method. In finite element analysis the workpiece is modeled by using beam elements and plane strain elements respectively. Through the analyses vertical center roller displacement is obtained to get constant curvature distribution along arc length. The relationship between center roller displacement and curvature in steady state as well as residual stress and strain along plate thickness direction are calculated through finite element analysis.

Digital retrodirective antenna system is easy to modify and upgrade because it can control the phase information of the output signal toward opposite direction to input signal without a priori knowledge of the arrival direction. Due to this advantage, it is possible to do fast beam tracking. Especially, we need to design the digital PLL performance for the digital retrodirective array antenna system. So, in this paper the settling time of phase estimator and BER performance of retrodirective antenna system are investigated according to design of filter in digital PLL. When QAM signal is used for 1 Mbps with $30^{\circ}$ of phase delay, simulation results show that digital phase conjugation technique has better BER performance by about 1 dB than non-phase conjugation system when digital filter is stable. If not, the system can't estimate the exact phase because of oscillation of filter.

Masonry infills are normally considered as non-structural elements in design practice, therefore, the interaction between the bounding frame and the strength contribution of masonry infills is commonly ignored in the seismic analysis work of the RC frames. However, a number of typical RC frames with irregular distributed masonry infills have suffered from undesirable weak-story failure in major earthquakes, which indicates that ignoring the influence of masonry infills may cause great seismic collapse risk of RC frames. This paper presented the investigation on the risk of seismic collapse of RC frames with irregularly distributed masonry infills through a large number of nonlinear time history analyses (NTHAs). Based on the results of NTHAs, seismic fragility curves were developed for RC frames with various distribution patterns of masonry infills. It was found that the existence of masonry infills generally reduces the collapse risk of the RC frames under both frequent happened and very strong earthquakes, however, the severe irregular distribution of masonry infills, such as open ground story scenario, results in great risk of forming a weak story failure. The strong-column weak-beam (SCWB) ratio has been widely adopted in major seismic design codes to control the potential of weak story failures, where a SCWB ratio value about 1.2 is generally accepted as the lower limit. In this study, the effect of SCWB ratio on inter-story drift distribution was also parametrically investigated. It showed that improving the SCWB ratio of the RC frames with irregularly distributed masonry infills can reduce inter-story drift concentration index under earthquakes, therefore, prevent weak story failures. To achieve the same drift concentration index limit of the bare RC frame with SCWB ratio of about 1.2, which is specified in ACI318-14, the SCWB ratio of masonry-infilled RC frames should be no less than 1.5. For the open ground story scenario, this value can be as high as 1.8.

An active phased array antennas can not only electrically steer the beam by controlling the weighting of the excitation signal, but can also form a pattern null in the direction of the interference source. The weight of the excitation signal to steer the main beam can be easily calculated based on the position of the radiating element. In addition, the weight of the excited signal for pattern null formation can also be calculated by setting the required radiation pattern and using WLSM(Weighted Least Squares Method). However, in a general wireless communication network environment, the location of the interference source is unknown. Therefore, an adaptive pattern null synthesis is needed. In this paper, it was confirmed that pattern null synthesis according to the required radiation characteristic was possible. And based on this, adaptive pattern null synthesis into the direction of an interference source was studied using a binary search algorithm based on observation area. As a result of conducting a simulation based on the presented technique, it was confirmed that adaptive pattern null forming into the direction of an interference is possible in efficient way.
