We utilized terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) to measure the thickness and electrical properties of nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) films. This technique not only aligns well with traditional methods, such as haze-meter and transmission-densitometer measurements, but it also reveals the electrical properties and thickness of films down to a few tens of nanometers. The complex conductivity of the Ni-Cr thin films was extracted using the Tinkham formula. The experimental values closely aligned with the Drude model, indicating the reliability of our Ni-Cr film's electrical and optical constants. The thickness of Ni-Cr was estimated using the complex conductivity. These findings emphasize the potential of THz-TDS in quality control of metallic nanofilms, pointing toward an efficient and nondestructive test (NDT) for such analyses.

LED는 저 전력, 긴 수명, 고 휘도, 빠른 응답, 친환경적인 특성의 여러 장점을 갖고 있기 때문에 청색과 녹색 LED는 교통신호, 옥외 디스플레이, 백색 LED는 LCD 후면광 등의 응용 제품에 사용되고 있다. 여기서 LED의 성능을 향상하기 위하여 출력전력과 소자의 신뢰성을 높이고, 동작전압을 낮추어야 LED 칩의 고효율화가 이루어져야 하는데, 이는 에피택셜층, 표면요철, 패턴이 있는 사파이어 기판, 칩 설계의 최적화, 특수 공정의 개선 등의 기술이 우수해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 측면 에칭 기술과 절연층 삽입기술을 이용하여 사파이어 에피 웨이퍼 위에 GaN-기반 백색 LED 칩을 제작하여 그 성능을 조사하였다. LED 칩의 성능을 개선하기 위한 최적화 설계와 CBL(current blocking layer) 삽입 기술의 개선된 공정을 통하여 LED 칩 성능의 향상을 확인할 수 있었으며, 출력 전력은 광 출력 7cd, 순방향 인가전압 3.2V의 값을 얻었다. 현재의 LCD 후면광원으로 사용되고 있는 LED 칩의 출력에 비하여 성능이 개선되었으며, 의료기기 및 LCD LED TV의 후면광원으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

인공위성 또는 항공기에서 사용되는 원격탐사용 센서는 지구 대기를 통과하는 전자기파를 측정하므로, 지구 대기에 의하여 흡수 또는 산란되는 과정에서 지표면의 정보가 영향을 받게 된다. 인공위성은 탑재센서의 사용목적에 따라 파장범위, 해상도가 다르지만, 공통적으로 지구 표면의 대상의 분광신호를 정확히 측정하기 위하여 대기에 의한 영향을 제거해야 하는 대기보정이 이루어져야 한다. 대기보정의 목적은 원격탐사 영상에서 대기 효과를 제거하여 지표면 반사도 값을 결정하고 지표면의 물리적 매개 변수를 도출하는 것이다. 현재까지 개발된 대기보정 알고리즘은 영상기반의 경험적인 방법 또는 현지 관측 자료를 이용한 간접적인 보정 방법에서 보다 복잡한 복사전달과정을 수치해석적으로 해석하는 직접적인 보정 방법으로 발전해 왔다. 본 연구는 지난 40여년 동안 개발된 대기보정 알고리즘에 대한 연구 기록을 분석함으로써, 대기보정 기술의 현황 및 주요 대기보정 알고리즘에 대한 연구 결과를 체계적으로 정립하여 관련 기술의 현황 및 연구동향을 제시하였다.

Omics-driven synthetic biology is a multidisciplinary research field that creates new artificial life by employing genetic components, biological devices, and engineering technique based on genetic knowledge and technological expertise. It is also utilized to make valuable biomaterials with limited production via current organisms faster, more efficient, and in huge quantities. As the bioeconomic age begins, and the global synthetic biology market becomes more competitive, investment in research and development (R&D) and associated sectors has grown considerably. By overcoming the constraints of present biotechnologies through the merging of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, huge ripple effects are envisaged in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and energy industries. In agriculture, synthetic biology is being used to solve current agricultural problems and develop sustainable agricultural systems by increasing crop productivity, implementing low-carbon agriculture, and developing plant-based, high-value-added bio-materials such as vaccines for diagnosing and preventing livestock diseases. As international regulatory debates on synthetic biology are now underway, discussions should also take place in our country for the growth of bioindustries and the dissemination of research findings. Furthermore, the system must be improved to facilitate practical application and to enhance the risk evaluation technology and management system.

Composite plating is a method of co-deposition of plating layer with metallic and/or non-metallic particles to improve the plating layer properties such as high corrosion resistance and photolysis of organic compounds. The properties of nickel-ceramic composite plating are significantly depend on the surface characteristics of co-deposited particles as well as the quantity in electrolyte. In this study, Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coating layer was produced by electrodeposition technique from non-aqueous eletrolyte and its surface characteristics as well as photolytic properties were investigated. The amounts of immobilized $TiO_2$ particles increased with increasing the initial $TiO_2$ particles contents in the bath. Samples electroplated with the current density of $0.5\;A/dm^2$ showed the significantly improved homogeneous $TiO_2$ particles distribution. The corrosion resistance of Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coating layer also improved with increaing the amounts of $TiO_2$ particles. Etched sample showed about 10% increased photolytic rate of organic matter compare to that of the non-etched.

It has been known that shallow-water regions, such as tidal flats, sea grass and sea weed beds have water purification capability, and they also serve as nursery grounds for many fishes. On the other hand, tidal flat areas are economically attractive sites for reclamation, to be used for developing industries. When developing shallow-water areas, we have to propose a plan to mitigate the environmental impact associated with such a development plan. However, it is difficult to estimate the affects on the ecosystem and water purification, and the literature related to this matter is insufficient. In order to evaluate the ability of coastal tidal flat and to predict the future changes, it is necessary to develop a reliable prediction technique and construction of data by using a field investigation. In this study, we carried out a numerical model test for the tidal flat ecosystem, using the pelagic system and the benthic system, simultaneously, in order to show a change in the tidal flat ecosystem. The flow of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon has been identified as a primary consideration of marine ecosystem components, and the capability of water purification and the change of the tidal flat were predicted using this flow. In order to make a more reliable prediction, a field investigation to determine tide, current and creatures of the object coastal area has been done. The purification capability of this shallow-water region is estimated from the model results. According to the results of experiments, the tidal flat has a capability of water purification (Sink) of 11mgN/m2/day, but the other area has a load (Source) of 20mgN/m2/day. As a result, we could confirm that the tidal flat of an object coastal area plays an important role in water purification.

In the indoor location estimation system, which has recently been actively studied, the received signal strength indicator contains a high level of noise when measuring the signal strength in the range between two nodes consisting of a receiver and a transceiver. To minimize the noise level, this paper proposes an improved adaptive smoothing filter that provides different exponential weights to the current value and previous averaged one of the data that were obtained from the nodes, because the characteristic signal attenuation of the received signal strength indicator generally has a log distribution. The proposed method can effectively decrease the noise level by using a feedback filter that can provide different weights according to the noise level of the obtained data and thus increase the accuracy in the distance and location without an additional filter such as the link quality indicator, which can verify the communication quality state to decrease the range errors in the indoor location recognition using ZigBee based on IEEE 802.15.4. For verifying the performance of the proposed improved adaptive smoothing filter, actual experiments are conducted in three indoor locations of different spatial sections. From the experimental results, it is verified that the proposed technique is superior to other techniques in range measurement.

This study was conducted to estimate the potential acid production value (PAPV) of major diets and to determine the relationship between dietary PAPV and dairy production traits. Estimation of PAPV of major cattle feeds was based on an in vitro technique, which determined the degree of Ca dissociation from $CaCO_3$. Data on feeds and production traits were collected on 744 multiparous lactating Holstein dairy cows from five different farms. Grains had high PAPV with variable protein sources and by-products. High PAPV feedstuffs had a higher total gas production and lower pH compared to those with low PAPV. Dietary PAPV had a positive correlation with intake of dry matter, NDF, ADF, milk yield and milk solid production but a negative correlation with milk protein and milk fat concentration. Current results indicate that dietary PAPV can be utilized in predicting dairy production traits.
