Recently, the R&D of weapon systems has been strengthened in terms of economic cost management throughout the entire life cycle from performance. This study proposes the method for setting the optimal maintenance concept based on RAM-C in weapon system acquisition stage by calculating the operation & maintenance cost as well as reliability, availability, and maintainability. First, we design a simulation model for analysis of weapon system logistic supportability. In addition, information such as weapon system Part Breakdown Structure, operation & maintenance system, cost, and etc for simulation analysis, is applied. Based on the obtained simulation results, the optimal plan is selected among alternatives designed with various maintenance concepts through normalization and weight setting. It is expected to be of technical help in the application of RAM-C in the weapon system acquisition stage.

In January 2005, the BTL private investment project was introduced in the Korean construction market as part of the plan to provide high-quality public service and expand the required facilities in a timely manner. Nonetheless, problems such as the low earning rate at the beginning of the business, burden of service compared to the cost of the proposed business, and limitations of the local small and medium-sized companies in relation to their participation in the project arose. The LCC analysis system for the BTL projects was developed as part of efforts toward efficiently investigating the investment eligibility. Specifically, methods for LCC analysis were selected for each stage of the BTL project in relation to the requests of experts for military residential facilities and public educational facilities. Variables were then extracted to derive an accurate analysis value, LCC for the 5 cost items (initial investment cost, operating expenses, maintenance expenses, energy cost, and disposal cost), analyzed, and system enabling comparative analysis for single and multiple initiatives by year and item, developed. Thus, we have to clearly require the accumulation of data to examine the appropriateness of the results of LCC analysis based on data and results.

It is still difficult to share and utilize the information generated at each phase of a steel box girder production process due to the spatial gap and different level of management information. The physical distance results in the inefficiency of the information transmission, the accidental omission and typos of the relative information, and so on. Various levels of management information make it difficult to embody a new management system. Eventually, these factors incur the loss of cost and schedule and interrupt development of a new management system. This paper analyzes a current process and presents graphical process flow by using IDEF0. Based this analysis, the research for new production process and work breakdown structure (WBS) is conducted. At the end of this paper, the conceptual design of this system is suggested. Through new management system, it is expected that the model proposed in this study will improve the management process in the steel box production, and the improved process will reduce the redundant cost and schedule information, transmission and deposit generated by manual paper.

In this study, the effects of $WSi_x$, thickness and fluorine concentration in tungsten polycide gate structure on gate oxide were investigated. As $WSi_x$, thickness increases, gate oxide thickness increases with fluorine incorporation in gate oxide, and time-to-breakdown($T_{BD,50%}$) of oxide decreases. The stress change with $WSi_x$ thickness was also examined. But it is understood that the dominant factor to degrade gate oxide properties is not the stress but the fluorine, incorporated during $WSi_x$ deposition, diffused into $WSiO_2$ after heat treatment. In order to understand the effect of fluorine diffusion into oxidem fluorine ion implanted gates were compared. The thickness variation and $T_{BD,50%}$ of gate oxide is saturated over 600 $\AA$ thickness of $WSi_x$. The TEM and SIMS studies show the microstructure less than 600 $\AA$ thickness is dense and flat in surface. However, over 600$\AA$, the microstructure of $WSi_x$ is divided into two parts: upper porous phase with rugged surface and lower dense phase with smmoth interface. And this upper phase is transformed into oxygen rich crystalline phase after annealing, and the fluorine is captured in this layer. Therefore, the fluorine diffusion into the gate oxide is saturated.

This paper proposes a 10-${\mu}m$ thick oxide layer structure that can be used as a substrate for RF circuits. The structure has been fabricated using an anodic reaction and complex oxidation, which is a combined process of low-temperature thermal oxidation (500 $^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$) and a rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process (1050 ${\circ}C$, for 1 min). The electrical characteristics of the oxidized porous silicon layer (OPSL) were almost the same as those of standard thermal silicon dioxide. The leakage current density through the OPSL of 10 ${\mu}m$ was about 10 to 50 $nA/cm^2$ in the range of 0 to 50 V. The average value of the breakdown field was about 3.9 MV/cm. From the X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, surface and internal oxide films of OPSL prepared by a complex process were confirmed to be completely oxidized. The role of the RTO process was also important for the densification of the porous silicon layer (PSL) oxidized at a lower temperature. The measured working frequency of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) type short stub on an OPSL prepared by the complex oxidation process was 27.5 GHz, and the return loss was 4.2 dB, similar to that of the CPW-type short stub on an OPSL prepared at a temperature of 1050 $^{\circ}C$ (1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$). Also, the measured working frequency of the CPW-type open stub on an OPSL prepared by the complex oxidation process was 30.5 GHz, and the return was 15 dB at midband, similar to that of the CPW-type open stub on an OPSL prepared at a temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$ (1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$).

High voltage SiC Schottky barrier diodes with field plate structure have been fabricated and characterized. N-type 4H-SiC wafer with an epilayer of ∼10$\^$15/㎤ doping level was used as a starting material. Various Schottky metals such as Ni, Pt, Ta, Ti were sputtered and thermally-evaporated on the low-doped epilayer. Ohmic contact was formed at the backside of the SiC wafer by annealing at 950$^{\circ}C$ for 90 sec in argon using rapid thermal annealer. Field oxide of 550${\AA}$ in thickness was formed by a wet oxidation process at l150$^{\circ}C$ for 3h and subsequently heat-treated at l150$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in argon for improving oxide quality. The turn-on voltages of the Ni/4H-SiC Schottky diode was 1.6V which was much higher than those of Pt(1.0V), Ta(0.7V) and Ti(0.7). The voltage drop was measured at the current density of 100A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ showing 2.1V for Ni Schottky diode, 1.45V for Pt 1.35V, for Ta, and 1.25V for Ti, respectively. The maximum reverse breakdown voltage was measured 1100V in the file plated Schottky diodes with 101an thick epilayer.

The layered BaTiO3 thin films with a high dielectric constant of polycrystalline BaTiO3 and a good in-sulating property of amorphous BaTiO3 were prepared. And their electrical properties were characterized with stacking methods. The BaTiO3 thin films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering technique using a ceramic target on Indium-doped Tin oxide coated glasses. A new stacking method resulted in higher dielec-tric constant, capacitance per unit area, and breakdown strength than those prepared by a conventional stacking method; the new method continuously decrease the substrate temperature after initial deposition of a polycrystalline BaTiO3 layer. The observed high dielectric constant could be explained only by a mul-tilayered amorphous/microcrystalline/polycrystalline structure, which was confirmed indirectly by AES depth profile.

Worldwide, rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea (Hebert) Barr. (anamorph, Pyricularia grisea Sacc.), is one of the most economically devastating crop diseases. Management of rice blast through the breeding of blast-resistant varieties has had only limited xuccess due to the frequent breakdown of resistance under field conditions (Bonman etal., 1992; Correa-Victoria and Zeigler, 1991; Kiyosawa, 1982). The frequent variation of race in pathogen populations has been proposed as the principal mechanism involved in the loss of resistance (Ou, 1980). Although it is generally accepted that race change in M. grisea occurs in nature, the degree of its variability has been a controversial subject. A number of studies have reported the appearance of new races at extremely high rates (Giatgong and Frederiksen, 1968; Ou and Ayad, 1968; Ou et al., 1970; Ou et al., 1971). Various potential mechanisms, including heterokaryosis (Suzuki, 1965), parasexual recombination (Genovesi and Magill, 1976), and aneuploidy (Kameswar Row et al., 1985; Ou, 1980), have been proposed to explain frequent race changes. In contrast, other studies have shown that although race change could occur, its frequency was much lower than that predicted by earlier studies (Bonman et al., 1987; Latterell and Rossi, 1986; Marchetti et al., 1976). Although questions about the frequency of race changes in M. grisea remain unanswered, the application of molecular genetic tools to study the fungus, ranging from its genes controlling host specificity to its population sturctures and dynamics, have begun to provide new insights into the potential mechanisms underlying race variation. In this review we aim to provide an overview on (a) the molecular basis of host specificity of M. grisea, (b) the population structure and dynamics of rice pathogens, and (c) the nature and mechanisms of genetic changes underpinning virulence variation in M. grisea.

As the demands for traditional Korean housing has been increased in recent years, modernized Korean traditional housing (Hanok) was developed as a way of providing Hanok for the public. Modernized Hanok attempts to remedy the shortcomings of the traditional hanok (i.e., high unit cost of building and low energy performance). In the previous researches, standardization and productivity improvement for modernized Hanok dissemination have been intensely developed. Above all, cost estimating for modernized Hanok is also an important factor. In an effort to provide effective system for Hanok construction, this paper developed 'standard cost data' for modernized Hanok. Distinct characteristic of modernized Hanok construction were analyzed first. Then, basic structure was identified, and major items were selected for Hanok standard cost data. However, this set of cost data was developed based on two mock-up Hanok projects actually constructed. Accordingly, this standard cost data will be further updated and modified by continuously accumulating real-world Hanok projects
