The effect of inter-band transition on surface plasmon resonance in gold thin film was investigated. We induced localized inter-band transition in the film by using incident light on its surface from a green laser (532 nm) source, and the surface plasmon resonance for inter-band transition was investigated at different wavelengths. It was determined that the reflectivity of blue light (450 nm) was significantly reduced in the region where the green laser was incident. We demonstrated that this decrease is mainly due to the coupling between the blue light and the surface plasmon resonance of excited electrons in higher energy states, based on experimental results for the incident and polarization angle-dependent reflectivity of the blue light.

이동 애드혹 네트워크(MANET)는 기반 네트워크 없이 구성되어 원격지의 환경에 대한 정확한 모니터링 또는 제어를 가능하게 한다. 이러한 MANET에서는 정적인 네트워크에 비해 토폴로지가 자주 변하므로 이동성을 고려한 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜이 요구된다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는, 상황인식 기반의 적응적이며 계층적 클러스터링 기법인 CACH(Context-aware Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)를 제안한다. CACH는 적응적 라우팅 기법과 비적응적 라우팅 기법을 융합한 하이브리드 라우팅 방식을 분산 클러스터링 기반으로 구성하였다. CACH는 또한 토폴로지 변경에 대해 상황인식을 기반으로 하여 적응적으로 토폴로지의 계층구조를 수정하는 새로운 기법을 이용하여, 네트워크의 수명을 연장하고 지연시간을 줄일 수 있다.

Our recent observations of the Sun through strong spectral lines have revealed several important properties of the three-minute umbral oscillations inside sunspots -- the oscillations of intensity and Doppler velocity with periods of 2 to 3 minutes. The oscillations usually occur in the form of a time series of oscillation packets each of which lasts 10 to 20 minutes, not as continuous trains. Each oscillation packet is characterized by a singly peaked power spectrum of velocity oscillation. The oscillations propagate in the vertical direction from the photosphere to the corona. In the upper chromosphere, they develop into shocks that eventually collide with the transition region. When shocks propagate along a highly inclined direction, the merging of two successive shocks can take place. Once they enter the corona, they change to linear compressional waves. In the image plane, the three-minute oscillations propagate with high speeds in the transverse direction as well, usually propagating radially outwards from a point, and sometimes accompanying spiraling patterns of Doppler velocity. These observational properties can be theoretically explained by postulating the spatio-temporally localized source of fast MHD waves at a depth of about 2000 km below the surface, the excitation of slow MHD waves via mode conversion near the photosphere, and the resonance of the slow waves in the photospheric layer below the temperature minimum, and the nonlinear development of slow waves in the chromosphere.

In order to reasonably predict damage extents of naval ships under in-compartment explosion (INCEX) loads, two conditions should be fulfilled in terms of accurate INCEX load generation and fracture estimation. This paper seeks to predict damage extents of various naval ships by applying the CONWEP model to generate INCEX loads, combined with the Hosford-Coulomb (HC) and localized necking (LN) fracture model. This study selected a naval ship with a 2,000-ton displacement, using associated specifications collected from references. The CONWEP model that is embedded in a commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS/Explicit was used for INCEX load generation. The combined HC-LN model was used to simulate fracture initiation and propagation. The permanent failures with some structural fractures occurred where at the locations closest to the explosion source points in case of the near field explosions, while, some significant fractures were observed in way of the interfaces between bulkheads and curtain plates under far field explosion. A large thickness difference would lead to those interface failures. It is expected that the findings of this study enhances the vulnerability design of naval ships, enabling more accurate predictions of damage extents under INCEX loads.

Recent earthquakes in Korea, like Gyeongju and Pohang, have highlighted the need for accurate seismic hazard assessment. The lack of substantial ground motion data necessitates stochastic simulation methods, traditionally used with a simplistic point-source assumption. However, as earthquake magnitude increases, the influence of finite faults grows, demanding the adoption of finite faults in simulations for accurate ground motion estimates. We analyzed variations in simulated ground motions with and without the finite fault method for earthquakes with magnitude (Mw) ranging from 5.0 to 7.0, comparing pseudo-spectral acceleration. We also studied how slip distribution and hypocenter location affect simulations for a virtual earthquake that mimics the Gyeongju earthquake with Mw 5.4. Our findings reveal that finite fault effects become significant at magnitudes above Mw 5.8, particularly at high frequencies. Notably, near the hypocenter, the virtual earthquake's ground motion significantly changes using a finite fault model, especially with heterogeneous slip distribution. Therefore, applying finite fault models is crucial for simulating ground motions of large earthquakes (Mw ≥ 5.8 magnitude). Moreover, for accurate simulations of actual earthquakes with complex rupture processes having strong localized slips, incorporating finite faults is essential even for more minor earthquakes.

광역학치료는 질병을 치료함에 있어 전이가능성과 부작용이 매우 적고 국부적인 종양의 제거가 가능하다는 장점을 갖는 치료방법이다. 광역학치료에서는 빛 에너지를 흡수하여 세포 독성을 띠는 활성산소를 생성하는 감광제가 필수적이다. 하지만 일반적인 감광제는 가시광선을 광원으로 사용하므로 이에 따른 부작용 및 치료효과의 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 이유로 가시광선 대신 근적외선을 광원으로 사용할 수 있는 업컨버전 나노입자가 질병진단 및 치료 분야에서 주목을 받고 있다. 업컨버전 나노입자는 세포 독성 및 광원에 의한 부작용이 적고, 광원의 조직 내 높은 투과율 및 낮은 자가형광 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 근적외선 업컨버전을 광역학치료에 활용하기 위해서는 근적외선을 흡수하는 업컨버전 나노입자를 활성산소를 생성시키는 감광제와 결합시켜야 한다. 나노입자에 결합된 감광제는 나노입자로부터 빛 에너지를 흡수하고 이를 주위의 산소에 전이시켜 활성산소를 생성한다. 뿐만 아니라 질병의 치료 효율은 업컨버전 나노입자의 표면을 개질하거나 항암 약물의 첨가, 또는 광열치료와의 결합을 통해 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 총설은 업컨버전 나노입자를 이용한 광역학치료와 이를 이용한 질병 치료 효과 향상에 대한 최근의 연구결과를 바탕으로 서술하였다.

We propose a method to measure atrial arrhythmias (AA) such as atrial fibrillation (Afb) and atrial flutter (Afl) with a SQUID magnetocardiograph (MCG) system. To detect AA is one of challenging topics in MCG. As the AA generally have irregular rhythm and atrio-ventricular conduction, the MCG signal cannot be improved by QRS averaging; therefore a SQUID MCG system having a high SNR is required to measure informative atrial excitation with a single scan. In the case of Afb, diminished f waves are much smaller than normal P waves because the sources are usually located on the posterior wall of the heart. In this study, we utilize an MCG system measuring tangential field components, which is known to be more sensitive to a deeper current source. The average noise spectral density of the whole system in a magnetic shielded room was $10\;fT/{\surd}Hz(a)\;1\;Hz\;and\;5\;fT/{\surd}Hz\;(a)\;100\;Hz$. We measured the MCG signals of patients with chronic Afb and Afl. Before the AA measurement, the comparison between the measurements in supine and prone positions for P waves has been conducted and the experiment gave a result that the supine position is more suitable to measure the atrial excitation. Therefore, the AA was measured in subject's supine position. Clinical potential of AA measurement in MCG is to find an aspect of a reentry circuit and to localize the abnormal stimulation noninvasively. To give useful information about the abnormal excitation, we have developed a method, separative synthetic aperture magnetometry (sSAM). The basic idea of sSAM is to visualize current source distribution corresponding to the atrial excitation, which are separated from the ventricular excitation and the Gaussian sensor noises. By using sSAM, we localized the source of an Afl successfully.

Concentrations of fine particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$) and several of its particle constituents measured outside homes in Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, were characterized using multiple regression analysis with proximity to point and mobile sources and meteorological factors as the independent variables. $PM_{2.5}$ mass and the concentrations of organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), benzo-[a]-pyrene (BaP), perylene (Per), benzo-[g,h,i]-perylene (BghiP), and coronene (Cor) were examined. Negative associations of wind speed with concentrations demonstrated the effect of dilution by high wind speed. Atmospheric stability increase was associated with concentration increase. Petrochemical source proximity was included in the EC model in Houston. Area source proximity was not selected for any of the $PM_{2.5}$ constituents' regression models. When the median values of the meteorological factors were used and the proximity to sources varied, the air concentrations calculated using the models for the eleven $PM_{2.5}$ constituents outside the homes closest to influential highways were 1.5-15.8 fold higher than those outside homes furthest from the highway emission sources. When the median distance to the sources was used in the models, the concentrations of the $PM_{2.5}$ constituents varied 2 to 82 fold, as the meteorological conditions varied over the observed range. We found different relationships between the two urban areas, illustrating the unique nature of urban sources and suggesting that localized sources need to be evaluated carefully to understand their potential contributions to $PM_{2.5}$ mass and its particle constituents concentrations near residences, which influence baseline indoor air concentrations and personal exposures. The results of this study could assist in the appropriate design of monitoring networks for community-level sampling and help improve the accuracy of exposure models linking emission sources with estimated pollutant concentrations at the residential level.

음상정위를 제어하는 한 방법으로 음원으로부터 모의하고자 하는 두 귀까지의 머리전달함수 (HRTF)를 모의하는 방법이 유효하다. 그러나, 이 방법을 이용한 경우, 모의계를 설계할 때의 수음점과 청취시의 수음점이 완전하게 일치하는 경우에는 정밀한 모의가 가능하나, 청취시에 머리가 이동한 경우에는 모의정도가 크게 저하하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 외이도의 입구뿐만 아니라 그 근방의 복수개의 점의 음압을 제어하는 것에 의해 머리가 다소 이동하더라도 제어가 가능하도록 한 모의계의 구성 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 이 방법을 이용해 머리전달함수를 모의한 경우에 대하여 물리적인 모의정도와 청감상의 음상정위의 정확도에 대하여 종래의 방법과 비교하여 실험했다. 그 결과 복수개의 점에 있어서의 온압을 제어하는 것에 의해 청취위치가 6 cm 정도까지 이동한 경우에도 수평면상에서 방향의 지각 오차를 종래의 방법보다 적게 할 수 있다는 것을 인간을 대상으로 한 청취실험을 통해 증명했다.
