Transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) are. currently attracting attention for application to transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices and active channel layers in thin-film transistors. One of the key issues for the realization of next generation transparent electronic devices such as transparent complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor thin-film transistors (CMOS TFTs), transparent wall light, sensors, and transparent solar cell is to develop p-type TOSs. In this talks, I will introduce issues and status related to p-type TOSs such as LnCuOQ (Ln=lanthanide, Q=S, Se), $SrCu_2O_2$, $CuMO_2$ (M=Al, Ga, Cr, In), ZnO, $Cu_2O$ and SnO. The growth and properties of SnO and Cu-based oxides and their application to electronic devices will be discussed.

Website design (due to increased online retailing) has received more attention as a way to influence consumer responses (Eroglu et al., 2001, 2003; Kim et al., 2009; Kim & Lennon, 2008; Yoo et al., 2010); however, the website design of multichannel retailers has not been examined from the perspective of the consistency of online store image with the brand image. This study examines the effect of brand image consistency (especially through the website) on consumer attitude and patronage intentions. The findings of this research will add to the growing body of literature on multichannel retailing and provide practical information for online retailers in the development of a website for their online business.

The studies to estimate the surface spectral reflectance of an object have received widespread attention using the multi-spectral camera system. However, the multi-spectral camera system requires the additional color filter according to increment of the channel and system complexity is increased by multiple capture. Thus, this paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the estimation error of surface spectral reflectance with the conventional 3-band RGB camera. In the proposed method, adaptive principal components for each pixel are calculated by renewing the population of surface reflectances and the adaptive principal components can reduce estimation error of surface spectral reflectance of current pixel. To evacuate performance of the proposed estimation method, 3-band principal component analysis, 5-band wiener estimation method, and the proposed method are compared in the estimation experiment with the Macbeth ColorChecker. As a result, the proposed method showed a lower mean square ems between the estimated and the measured spectra compared to the conventional 3-band principal component analysis method and represented a similar or advanced estimation performance compared to the 5-band wiener method.

In this paper, we propose two receiver structures of the impulse radio (IR) system to improve its performance in multipath environments. Recently, the impulse radio system has drawn much attention for future high-speed wire-less communication services. The conventional IR receiver directly correlates received signals with the ideal reference waveform, which results in performance degradation in multipath environments. The Key idea of the proposed receiver structures is to reflect the multipath Characteristics into the IR receiver. One is to deconvolve the received waveform with estimates of the multipath gains to obtain the transmitted waveform while the other is to modify the reference waveform of the correlator according to the estimates of the multipath gains. We examine the performance of the proposed schemes for the statistical indoor wireless communication channel model using computer simulation.

Industrial communication networks have attracted much attention in the area of decentralized control systems for factory automation and computer integrated manufacturing. In this paper, we investigate the rate-based traffic control of industrial communication networks employing LonWorks to improve the performance measures of throughput, fairness, and error rates. To this end, we utilize the Feedback channel information through the additional network monitoring node and make the overall system closed-loop. We demonstrate the improved performance of the controlled network system by the experimentation upon an implemented lab-scale network system.

In this paper, analytical methods for calculating the average probability of bit error of direct sequence pulse amplitude modulation ultra wideband (DS-PAM UWB) system and time hopping pulse position modulation ultra wideband (TH-PPM UWB) system are given. For the multi-user DS-PAM UWB system, the bipolar pulse amplitude modulation is used in order to achieve better performance. As we know, more attention is paid to the TH-PPM UWB systems recently. In this paper. we first introduce the accurate BER calculation methods of the multi-user DS-PAM UWB and TH-PPM UWB systems and then give the performance analysis over the ideal AWGN channel and a correlation receiver. Furthermore, we also introduce their applications in image transmission and data transmission and give the simulation results. The analytical method yields simple and exact formulas relating the performance to the system parameters.

This study has collected prescriptions of individual chronic outpatients in an army hospital, analysed them, and investigated the possible drug interactions. It also reviewed the mechanism of drug interactions. Out of total of 42 outpatients with chronic diseases, the percentages of populations having hypertension, hypertension with diabetes, uncomplicated diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension with cardiac insufficiency, and ventricular septal defect were 62%, 19%, 10%, 5%, 2%, and 2%, in the corresponding order. The average number medications prescribed for the outpatients were 2.5 with the highest frequency of five medications in two patients. The number of drug-drug interactions detected was 456 prescriptions out of total of 1104 prescriptions during the study period, accounting for 41.3%. The most frequent drug-drug interaction was between beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers with 132 prescriptions followed by one between beta-blockers and cimetidine with 89 prescriptions. Based on the high incidence of possibly dangerous drug interactions, much attention needs to be aid to the drug-drug interactions in the pharmacotherapy for the treatment of outpatients with chronic diseases in army hospital setting.

The video coding for very low bit rate has recently received considerable attention, but conventional block based transform coding schemes suffer from the blocking effect for the constraints of bit rates. In this paper, we present a video coding sysem suing multi-resolution motion estimation/compensation with variable size block(VMRME/C) and multi-resolution vector quantization(MRVQ) in wavelet transform domain for very low bit rate coding. It is shown that the presented scheme has better performance in the peak signal-to-nose ratio(RSNR) by 0.2-0.6 dB as well as subjective quality than that of conventional block based transform video coding techniques(especially, H. 263 which is DCT based video coding).

Future logic device over the FinFET generation requires a complete electrostatics and transport characteristic for low-power and high-speed operation as extremely scaled devices. Silicon, Germanium and III-V based nanowire-based MOSFET devices and few-layer TMDC (Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers) based multi-gate devices have been brought attention from device engineers due to those excellent electrostatic and novel device characteristic. In this study, we simulated ultrascaled Si/Ge/InAs gate-all-around nanowire MOSFET and MoS2 TMDC based DG MOSFET and TFET device by tight-binding NEGF method. As a result, we can find promising candidates of the future logic device of each channel material and device structures.

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) can be defined as a communication network consisting of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology, which has been attracting much attention due to its promising technology. This paper addressed the factors on how to design routing protocols for WMN. 2 examples of designing routing metric and routing algorithm are given for case study. With consideration of those factors such as wireless broadcast advantage (WBA)/channel assignment (CA) or intra-flow/inter-flow interference high throughput is achieved.
