PCBs had numerous uses such as hydraulic fluid, heat exchange fluid, sealant, lubricant, and carbonless copy paper. They are most likely found in electric utilities, power stations, industrial facilities, electronic manufacturing plants, petrochemical plants, railroad systems, electric equipment repair facilities, mining sites (active or abandoned), and military camps. Due to its outstanding chemical and thermal stabilities and electrical insulation properties, the commercial and industrial products of PCBs, such as Aroclors, Kaneclors, Clophens, Phenaclors etc., had been widely used as thermal oil and transformer oil from 1930s until the 1970s. The transformer oils were analyzed as a main source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) emission into the environment. Qualitative estimation of oil extracts as carried out with Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260. The transformer oils contained the pure and mixed of Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, and Aroclor 1260. Also, commercial screening kit of 20 ppm and 50 ppm were applied to the transformer oil samples.

Purpose : The purpose of the present study was to examine the causal relationships among head nurses' leadership (consideration oriented leadership, structure initiated leadership), nursing unit culture (human development culture, task development culture), and nurses' organizational commitment. Method : Four large general hospitals located in and around Seoul were selected to participate. The total sample of 286 registered nurses represents a response rate of 90 percent. Data for this study was collected from August to September in 2000 by questionnaire. Path analyses with LISREL program were used to test the fit of the proposed model to the data and to examine the causal relationships among variables. Result : Both the proposed model and the modified model fit the data adequately. The model revealed relatively high explanatory power. 52% of human development culture was explained by predicted variables and 44% of task development was explained by predicted variables; 47% of the organizational commitment was explained by predicted variables. In predicting developmental (both human and task) nursing unit culture, the findings of this study clearly demonstrated that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable. The result also showed that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable among the predicted variables in predicting organizational commitment. Conclusion : Based on the findings of this study, it was suggested that various studies, for example, matching leadership and nursing unit culture, were needed.

We present the design of a radiometer in W-band which operates simultaneously with a single antenna configured FMCW radar. We choose a total power radiometer(TPR) which shares an antenna and a front-end with the radar for miniaturizing the system. We separate the radiometer signal from the radar signal using a diplexer in IF band. Because the radiometer has an unwanted transmitter section due to the common use of the MMW front-end with the radar, some additional noise signals caused by the transmitter degrade the sensitivity of the radiometer system. To compensate the degradation of sensitivity, we use matching circuits and a diode detector configured as the voltage doubler. Through some experiments, we have verified that the designed radiometer system has good performances in detecting metal targets tying at several hundred meters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of dental white light scanner. Methods: The impression(Zerosil, Dreve, Germany) were digitized in white light scanner(Identica, Medit, Korea) to create 3-dimensional surface-models. The distribution of the discrepancies between the number of points in the corresponding CRM models and the point clouds in the others were measured by a matching-software(PowerInspect 2012, Delcam Plc, UK). The discriptive statistics were used for statistical analysis(SPSS 20.0). Results: The measurement of repeatablity showed very good reliability. The mean(SD) discrepancy value on the white light scanner digital models was 8.7(0.67) ${\mu}m$, based on SD and absolute mean values. Conclusion: These in vitro studies showed that repeatability of dental white light scanner is high reliability. These results can be confirmed in further clinical studies.

Design procedure of corrugated horn antenna for the mm-wave frequency range is presented, and hybrid condition in horn is calculated. In this paper, corrugate profiles of horn which satisfy both transition to balanced hybrid condition and fabrication possibility under the mm-wave short wavelength are obtained. Electromagnetic fields inside horn and corrugation are derived by the cylindrical mode theory. Propagation characteristics in the horn are calculated by the mode impedance matching method with boundary conditions, and radiation fields are obtained by the Kirchhoff-Hyugen principle to the horn aperture fields. A mm-wave corrugated horn antenna which operates on $85{\sim}115GHz$ is fabricated by electric forming method. Measurements show that VSWR is under 1.3:1 over whole band and the half power beamwidth on radiation pattern 9.2, 9.16 and 9.02 degree on 85, 100 and 110 GHz are agree well with theoretical calculation.

This paper presents development of a small size LNA operating at 824 ∼ 849 MHz used for a receiver of a CELLULAR CDMA Base station and a transponder. Using resistive decoupling circuits, a signal at low frequency is dissipated by a resistor. This design method increases the stability of the LNA and is suitable for input stage matching. The LNA consists of low noise GaAs FET ATF-10136 and internally matched VNA-25. The LNA is fabricated with both the RF circuit and the self-bias circuits in aluminum housing. As a result, the characteristics of the LNA implemented here shows above 35dB in gain and below 0.9dB in noise figure, 18.6dBm P1dB power, a typical two tone IM3, -31.17dB with single carrier backed off 10dB from P1dB.

An accurate characterization of the display device is essential for better color matching. The calibration and characterization process in display device is needed to transform the device dependent color to the device independent color. The process of characterization performs a linearization and transforms the linearized values into the CIE XYZ tristimulus values. The purposes of this paper is to propose optimal color transformation method for accurate reproduction of original copy in display device and to explain the propriety of transformation method using specific variable for the power of gradation expression.

In this paper, a broadband RF module is designed and tested for 2.4GHz band applications. The RF module is composed of a low noise amplifier (LNA) with a three stage amplifier, a single ended gate mixer, matching circuits, a hairpin line band pass filter and a Chebyshev low pass filter to convert the radio frequency (RF) into the intermediate frequency (IF). The LNA has a high gain and stability, and the single ended gate mixer has a high conversion gain and wide dynamic range. In the analysis of the broadband RF module, the composite harmonic balance technique is used to analyze the operating characteristics of an RF module circuit. The RF module has a 55.2dB conversion gain with a 1.54dB low noise figure, $-120{\sim}-60dBm$ wide RF power dynamic range, -60dBm low harmonic spectrum and a good isolation factor among the RF, IF, and local oscillator (LO) ports.

This paper presents a bandpass filter using a current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA)s for application to low-voltage and low-power analog signal processing systems. The presented filter employs grounding and floating active inductors, which are composed of two or three CDTAs, and is capable of realizing all the standard functions of the filter without requiring any component matching criteria or extra active components. The HSPICE simulation result of the designed active bandpass filter showed that it had a 10MHz center frequency with -2.5dB attenuated bandwidth from 9.5 MHz to 10.5 MHz, and -50dB from 8 MHz to 17 MHz.
