Monthly mean data of ${\AA}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent and Aerosol optical thickness (AOT) from Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) measurements over the East Asian waters were analyzed. Increasing trend of the satellite-derived ${\AA}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent from 1998 to 2004 was found while AOT mean was observed stable during the same period. The trend of ${\AA}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent is then interpreted as increase in fraction of small aerosol particles to give quantitative estimates on the variability of aerosols. The mean increase is evaluated to be $4{\sim}5%$ over the 7-year period in terms of the contribution of small particles to the total AOT, or sub-micron fraction (SMF). Possibilities of the observed trend arising from the sensor calibration or algorithm performance are carefully checked, which confirm our belief that this observed trend is rather a real fact than an artifact due to data processing. Another time series of SMF data (2000-2005) estimated from the fine-mode fraction (FMF) of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) supports this observation yet with different calibration system and retrieval algorithms.

High-fidelity nuclear data libraries and neutronics simulation tools are essential for the development of fast reactors. The IAEA coordinated research project on "Neutronics Benchmark of CEFR Start-Up Tests" offers valuable data for the qualification of nuclear data libraries and neutronics codes. This paper focuses on the verification and validation of the CEFR start-up modelling using OpenMC Monte-Carlo code against the experimental measurements. The OpenMC simulation results agree well with the measurements in criticality, control rod worth, sodium void reactivity, temperature reactivity, subassembly swap reactivity, and reaction distribution. In feedback coefficient evaluations, an additional state method shows high consistency with lower uncertainty. Among 122 relative errors in the benchmark of the distribution of nuclear reaction, 104 errors are less than 10% and 84 errors are less than 5%. The results demonstrate the high reliability of OpenMC for its application in fast reactor simulations. In the companion paper, the influence of cross-section libraries is investigated using neutronics modelling in this paper.

CCD differential photometry was carried out for seven stars in the "New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars" in order to discover new short-period pulsating variables such as low and high amplitude $\delta$Scuti stars and RR Lyrate stars. It was found that NSV1132, NSV3031, and NSV5119 are RRs, Irregular, and low amplitude $\delta$Scuti type variables respectively.

본 논문에서는 라인 형태인 가닥(Strand) 지오메트리 이미지와 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional Neural Network, ConvNet 혹은 CNN)을 이용하여 저해상도 헤어 및 털 시뮬레이션을 고해상도로 노이즈 없이 표현할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 저해상도와 고해상도 데이터 간의 쌍은 물리 기반 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻을 수 있으며, 이렇게 얻어진 데이터를 이용하여 저해상도-고해상도 데이터 쌍을 설정한다. 학습할 때 사용되는 데이터는 헤어 가닥 형태의 위치를 지오메트리 이미지로 변환하여 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 헤어 및 털 네트워크는 저해상도 이미지를 고해상도 이미지로 업스케일링(Upscaling)시키는 이미지 합성기를 위해 사용된다. 테스트 결과로 얻어진 고해상도 지오메트리 이미지가 고해상도 헤어로 다시 변환되면, 하나의 매핑 함수로 표현하기 어려운 헤어의 찰랑거리는(Elastic) 움직임을 잘 표현할 수 있다. 합성 결과에 대한 성능으로 이전 물리 기반 시뮬레이션보다 빠른 성능을 보였으며, 복잡한 수치해석을 몰라도 쉽게 실행이 가능하다.

New lead-free piezoelectric ceramics $0.96[\{Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.84}K_{0.16})_{0.5}\}_{1-x}La_x(Ti_{1-y}Nb_y)O_3]-0.04SrTiO_3$ (BNKT-ST-LN, where $x=y=0.00{\leq}(x=y){\leq}0.015)$ were synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. Their crystal structure, microstructure, and electrical properties were investigated as a function of the La and Nb (LN) content. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the formation of a single-phase perovskite structure for all the LN-modified BNKT-ST ceramics in this study. The temperature dependence of the dielectric curves showed that the maximum dielectric constant temperature ($T_m$) shifted towards lower temperatures and the curves became more diffuse with an increasing LN content. At the optimum composition (LN 0.005), a maximum value of remnant polarization ($33C/cm^2$) with a relatively low coercive field (22 kV/cm) and high piezoelectric constant (215 pC/N) was observed. These results indicate that the LN co-modified BNKT-ST ceramic system is a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

Purpose: In this study, the dosimetric characteristics of lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plans using the new Halcyon system were analyzed to assess its suitability. Methods: We compared the key dosimetric parameters calculated for the Halcyon SBRT plans with those of a conventional C-arm linear accelerator (LINAC) equipped with a high-definition multileaf collimator (HD-MLC)-Trilogy Tx. A total of 10 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer were selected, and all SBRT plans were generated using the RapidArc technique. Results: Trilogy Tx exhibited significant superiority over Halcyon in terms of target dose coverage (conformity index, homogeneity index, D_{0.1 cc}, and D_95%) and dose spillage (gradient). Trilogy Tx was more efficient than Halcyon in the lung SBRT beam delivery process in terms of the total number of monitor units, modulation factor, and beam-on time. However, it was feasible to achieve a dose distribution that met SBRT plan requirements using Halcyon, with no significant differences in satisfying organs at risk dose constraints between both plans. Conclusions: Results confirm that Halcyon is a viable alternative for performing lung SBRT in the absence of a LINAC equipped with HD-MLC. However, extra consideration should be taken in determining whether to use Halcyon when the planning target volume setting is enormous, as in the case of significant tumor motions.

이 연구에서는 자연과학을 전공하는 대학생과 고등학교 과학교사를 대상으로 대학에서의 과학 학습에 영향을 주는 요인과 고등학교 과학교육 개선 방향에 대한 인식을 알아보았다. 대학생들은 전공별로 대학에서의 과학 학습에 주는 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 다른 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 물리학과의 경우에는 수학 능력과 논리적 사고력, 화학과와 생물학과의 경우에는 영어 능력과 기초 과학 지식이 대학에서 공부하는 데 큰 영향을 준다고 인식하는 경향이 있었다. 대학생과 과학 교사 두 집단 모두 기초 과학 지식과 수학 능력이 대학에서의 과학 학습에 크게 영향을 준다고 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 대학에서의 성공적인 과학 학습을 위한 과학교육 개선 방안으로, 대학생들은 탐구 기회 확대, 과학교사들은 선택과목의 필수 이수 확대라고 각각 응답하여 두 집단 간 다른 양상을 나타내었다.

For the application of field emission display (FED), it is essential to develop a carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode with high emission current density. In this study, we developed and demonstrated a post-heat treatment (PHT) process to improve field emission properties of CNT cathodes. Since the PHT is intended to burn out organic materials covering the CNTs, the PHT was carried out by heating samples at a high temperature in an atmosphere. The PHT process is applied for samples processed by surface treatment with an adhesive tape. Compared to samples prior to the PHT, samples after the PHT at $360^{\circ}C$ showed about 17% improvement in emission current density. The major reason for the increased current density is mainly the increased aspect ratio of the CNTs because of the removal of the adhesive organic residues covering the CNTs, which were attached on the CNT surfaces during the surface treatment using the adhesive taping method.
