The linearization technique for low noise amplifier (LNA) has been implemented in standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ BiCMOS process. The MOS-BJT derivative superposition (MBDS) technique exploits a parallel LC tank in the emitter of bipolar transistor to reduce the second-order non-linear coefficient ($g_{m2}$) which limits the enhancement of linearity performance. Two feedback capacitances are used in parallel with the base-collector and gate-drain capacitances to adjust the phase of third-order non-linear coefficients of bipolar and MOS transistors to improve the linearity characteristics. The MBDS technique is also employed cascode configuration to further reduce the second-order nonlinear coefficient. The proposed LNA exhibits gain of 9.3 dB and noise figure (NF) of 2.3 dB at 2 GHz. The excellent IIP3 of 20 dBm and low-power power consumption of 5.14 mW at the power supply of 1 V are achieved. The input return loss ($S_{11}$) and output return loss ($S_{22}$) are kept below - 10 dB and -15 dB, respectively. The reverse isolation ($S_{12}$) is better than -50 dB.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated power PHEMT’s with an unit gate width of 80$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 4 fingers, and MIMIC power amplifiers using the PHEMT’s as well. The PHEMT’s have a 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ gate length and source to drain spacing of 3$\mu\textrm{m}$. The characteristics of the fabricated PHEMT’s are 4.08dB of S$\sub$21/ gain at the 35GHz and 317mS/mm of gm, and 62GHz of f$\sub$T/ and 120GHz of f$\sub$max/. The designed and fabricated MIMIC’s power amplifiers with 6 PHEMT’s and MIN capacitors were fully passivated by 1000 Α of Si$_3$N$_4$ film for higher performance and surface protects. The chips were processed using the MINT processes, and size was 3.25 ${\times}$ 1.8$\textrm{mm}^2$. The fabricated MIMIC power amplifiers have RF characteristics such as 11.25dB of S$\sub$21/ gain, 11.37dB of input return-loss and 12.69dB of output return-loss at the 34.55GHz.

In 2002, property loss caused by failure or leakage of existing river levee structures was about 1.8 trillion in Korean Won, and furthermore in which damages of river structures are getting more severe due to characteristics of extremely extraordinary rain such as torrential rain in the locality or guerrilla heavy rain. In this regards, this paper collects and analyzes those damage records and costs for repair by statistic method, and moreover categorizes the causes of failure, erosion and overtopping of levee structures in large and small scale rivers threatened frequently by typhoon and heavy rainfall. It is believed that the results from the analyses can be used as a basic source in developing criteria of standards for design, construction, maintenance and inspection(or diagnosis) of hydraulic structures such as levee and drain conduit.

In this study, very fine photoresist pattern was examined using the image reversal process. And very fine photoriesist pattern (less than 0.2um) was obtsined by optimizing the exposure and reversal baking condition of photoresist. The produced pattern does not show the loss of thickness, and has a sparp negative edge profile. also, the ion implanted 0.25um T-shaped gate MESFET was fabricated using this resist pattern and the directional evaporation of gate metal. The fabricated MESFET has the maximum transconductance of 302 mS/mm, and the threshold voltage of -1.8V, and the drain saturation current of this MESFET was 191 mA/mm.

In this paper, we reported on a single balanced monolithic diode mixer using Marchand balun for millimeter-wave applications. The single balanced monolithic mixer was fabricated using drain-source-connected pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) diodes considering the PHEMT MMIC full process. The average conversion loss is 16 dB in the RF frequency range of 81~86 GHz at LO frequency of 75 GHz with LO power of 10 dBm. The RF-to-LO isolation characteristics are greater than -30 dB and the total chip size is $1.0mm{\times}1.35mm$.

This study investigates the effect of high-skilled inventor emigration rate on growth rate of the country of origin (COO). Inventor emigrants represent the human capital that can generate highly innovative work. The social network they form spurs knowledge diffusion and technology transfer back to their COOs, which in turn affects innovation and growth in their home countries. We run dynamic panel estimation for 154 countries during 1990-2011, and empirically show that a positive and statistically significant effect exists for the interaction of inventor emigration and trade. The result indicates that the direct negative impact of the brain drain can be mitigated by the positive feedback effect generated by the high-skilled inventor emigrants abroad. When coupled with an active trade policy that reinforces growth, countries can partially recoup the direct effect of the human capital loss. We stress the importance of international trade for successful technology transfer to occur, and offer insights for policies that can utilize the benefits of the rich social network of their high-skilled emigrants.

Blunt intrathoracic tracheal injuries are rare, even among blunt chest trauma patients. An early diagnosis based on a high index of suspicion allows for timely surgical management of potentially fatal airway trauma, thereby improving overall outcomes. Diagnosing these injuries can be difficult due to their nonspecific clinical features and the occasional difficulty in radiologic diagnosis. If a patient exhibits respiratory compromise with difficult ventilation and poor lung expansion, despite the insertion and management of an intercostal drain following high-energy blunt trauma, there should be a heightened suspicion of potential airway trauma. The aim of primary repair is to restore airway integrity and to minimize the loss of pulmonary parenchyma function. This case report discusses the rare clinical presentation of a patient with blunt trauma to the intrathoracic airway, the surgical management thereof, and his overall outcome. Although blunt traumatic injuries of the trachea are extremely rare and often fatal, early surgical intervention can potentially reduce the risk of mortality.

강원도 홍천군에 위치한 내린천 상류의 자운리는 석비레 성토지에서 대다수 영농활동을 하고 있어 강우에 의한 토양유실이 심각하게 발생하고 있다. 자운 2리와 4리의 농경지에 대해 필지별로 지료를 구축한 후 토양유실량을 RUSLE를 기준으로 평가하였으며, 허용토양유실량을 $11MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$로 보고, 그 이하로 낮추기 위한 최적영농관리방안을 살펴보았다. 조사결과, 토양관리가 불량하여 40% 이상의 경작지에 토양보전을 위한 적정관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 관리방안의 적용이 없을 경우 발생하는 토양유실량은 자운 2리에서 평균 $15.6MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, 자운 4리에서 평균 $9.0MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ 이었으며, 석비레 성토지는 대부분 토양유실허용 수준을 초과하였다. 이 지역에 필요한 적정관리방안은 완충식생대, 등고선 및 부초, 승수로 및 배수로, 초생수로, 승수로, 우회수로, 사면정비, 그러고 피복작물 등이 제시되었으며, 이 지역에서 토양유실량을 허용수준 이하로 낮추기 위해 필지별로 필요한 영농관리방안의 필요량은 완충식생대 7,680 m, 등고선 및 부초 123 ha (35%), 승수로 및 배수로 201 ha (58%), 초생수로 13,880 m, 우회수로 3,860 m, 사변정비 8,365 m, 그리고 피복작물 3,492 ha (100%)인 것으로 평가되었다. 경사지 농경지의 적정관리방안의 도입은 우리나라와 같이 수계에 직접 연결된 밭이 많고 상류권에 위치하여 상수원에 영향이 우려되는 지역에서 특히 시급한 과제로 최적영농관리방안에 대한 깊은 연구와 작용이 이루어져야 하며 이러한 프로그램을 교육하고 지속적으로 감시하며 더 나은 관리방안을 찾아서 보완해 나가는 연구가 요구된다.

Massive weight loss results in skin excess, leading to an unsatisfying body contour. Various thigh lift procedures can correct flabby skin in the lower leg. We present a lower body contouring technique with a report on two patients. The procedure is determined by the body contour of the patient. As the skin excess in the thigh area tended to appear mostly on the medial side, a vertical medial thigh lift was considered. Moreover, for patients with a pear/guitar-shaped body contour, we added the spiral thigh lift for skin excess in the buttocks and the lateral thigh area. The extent of tissue to excise was determined by pinching the patient in a standing position. The inferior skin flap was fixed to non-movable tissue, which was helpful for lifting the tissue and preventing the widening of the scar. After the operation, a drain was kept for 3 to 4 days. A compressive garment was used after removing the drain. There were no complications. The patients were discharged 6 to 8 days after the operation. In conclusion, skin excess, especially in the lower body, can be corrected by a thigh lift combining several procedures, varying from person to person.
