We utilized atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the growth of the ZnO channel layers in the oxide thin-film-transistors (TFTs) with a bottom-gate structure using a $SiO_2/p-Si$ substrate. For fundamental study, the effect of the channel thickness and thermal treatment on the TFT performance was investigated. The growth modes for the ALD grown ZnO layer changed from island growth to layer-by-layer growth at thicknesses of > 7.5 nm with highly resistive properties. A channel thickness of 17 nm resulted in the good TFT behavior with an onloff current ratio of > $10^6$ and a field effect mobility of 2.9 without the need for thermal annealing. However, further increases in the channel thickness resulted in a deterioration of the TFT performance or no saturation. The ALD grown ZnO layers showed reduced electrical resistivity and carrier density after thermal treatment in oxygen.

The chemical bond differences between a normal tissue and a fat tissue make a chemical shift artifact which is caused by a primary inacuracy of resonance signal location. The chemical shift also makes a variation of the transverse time T$_2$. An attempt is made to compare the values of SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio), the signal response, and the imaging time computed by applying T$\sub$2/$\^$＊/ for a fat-proton with ones of those computed by applying T$_2$ for a water-proton under the conditions of T$_1$/T$_2$=3 and T$\sub$2/$\^$＊/T$_2$=0.9. The results of the attempt show that the first two reduce to 5％ and 8％ out of 100％, respectively, and the last rather increases up to 10％. This shows that the chemical shift contributes to the deterioration of an MR imaging efficiency in addtion to the image distortion.

The basis principle of conservation about deterioration and corrosion of cultural assets building is the archetype maintenance, and should not make a factitious damage mistake by repair. Accordingly, conservation processing method using synthetic resins is embossed. The purpose of this paper is about flexural capacity of rectangular section wood using synthetic resins, the 11 specimens are manufactured and made an experiment about reinforcement length, ratio, material strength, direction of synthetic resins as variable. The results of this paper has shown that flexural reinforcement of wood by synthetic resins are efficient and found the possibility of using.

In digital era image processing has been utilized in a variety of media such as TV, camera and smart phone. However, in the process of analyzing, recognizing, and processing image data, deterioration occurs due to various causes and Salt & Pepper noise occurs. Typical methods for removing such noise include SMF, CWMF, and SWMF. However, existing methods have a somewhat poor noise canceling characteristic in Salt & Pepper noise environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm to remove Salt & Pepper noise effectively by using bilinear interpolation method and median filter according to noise density of local mask. And using the PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) it compared to the existing methods and their performance in order to determine the performance of the proposed method.

Purpose: Most if buildings need various repair works for preventing or delaying the deterioration which gives rise to affect the living condition or function after constructed. Therefore, a long-term repair schedule should be planned and a repair cost is required. In this paper, it aimed at providing the statistical forecast model for a repair cost in roof water-proofing work and elevator work using statistical approach with three variables such as number of household, management area and a elapsed year. Data are collected in apartment housings which are located in Seoul area and conducted with interview and questionnaire sheet. Each analyzed work is divided into a partly work and fully work. Results of this study are shown that, first, the regression model takes a multiplying type like a Cobb-Douglas function and is changed into the log-linear type to include the three variable simultaneously. Second, the goodness-of-fit of the repair cost forecasting model has a good statistics in determinant's coefficient and Dubin-Watson value. Third, the management area is stronger factor than other the number of household and an elapsed year in roof water-proofing work and elevator work.

PURPOSES : Surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance should be inspected field applicability. This study(Part II) aimed to checkup coating characteristics and performance analysis using lab and field tests. The hydrophobic - low viscosity filling material for pavement preventive maintenance is presented in Part I, which is a series of companion study. METHODS : Relative comparison between general asphalt mixtures and surface treatment asphalt mixtures are analyzed and measured for the field application such as indirect tensile strength ratio(TSR), abrasion resistance, crack propagation resistance, temperature resistance, coating thickness, permeability resistance and skid resistance in terms of british pendulum number(BPN). RESULTS : It is found that TSR, crack propagation resistance and permeability resistance is increased as against uncoated asphalt specimen. Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance is secured from the initial coating thickness point of view, which is about 0.2~0.3mm. Skid resistance on the surface treatment pavement is satisfied with the BPN criteria of national highway because of exposed aggregate and crack sill induced pavement deterioration and damage cracks. CONCLUSIONS : The hydrophobic - low viscosity surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance is validated on field applicability evaluation based on quantitative analysis of coating thickness and performance analysis using lab and field tests.

Along with the rapid development in digital times, image media are being used in internet, computer and digital camera. But image deterioration occurs due to various exterior reasons in the procedures of acquisition, processing, transmission and recording of digital image and major reason is noise. Therefore in order to remove salt & pepper noise, this study suggested the algorithm which replaces the noise to original pixel in case of non-noise, and processes the noise with Lagrange interpolation method in case of noise. In case high density noise was added and the noise could not be removed, noise characteristics were improved by processing the noises repeatedly. And for objective judgment, this method was compared with existing methods and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as judgment standard.

Flow carrying capacity of water distribution systems is getting reduced by deterioration of pipes in the systems. The objective of this study is to develop a managerial decision-making model for the rehabilitation of water distribution systems with a minimum cost. The decisions made by the model also satisfy the requirements for the discharge and pressure at demanding nodes in the system. The replacement cost, pipe break repair cost, and pumping cost are considered in the economic evaluation of the decision along with the break ratio and interest ratio to determine the optimal replacement time for each pipe. Then, the hydraulic integrity of the water distribution system is checked for the decision by a pipe network simulator, KYPIPE, if the discharge and pressure requirements, the decision made for the optimal replacement time is revised until the requirements are satisfied. The model is applied to an existing water distribution system, the Metropolita Water Supply Project (1st Phase). The result shows that the decisions for the replacement time determined by the economix analysis are accepted as optimal and the hydraulic integrity of the system is in good condition.

Physical, mechanical and deteriorating properties of Phellodendron amure were investigated. Air dried density located indoor was 0.41 but $0.43g/cm^3$ outdoor. In oven dry shrinkage, T/R ratio for located indoor was 1.40 but 1.32 outdoor. Hygroscopic property at $40^{\circ}C$ with 90% relative humidity was 16.30% for indoor and 15.80% for outdoor. Compressive strength for outdoor conditioned sample was 43.81 MPa but 40.33 MPa for indoor conditioned. Also bending strenght for outdoor conditioned was 84.63 MPa but 68.80 MPa for indoor conditioned. Impact strength was 3.43 and $4.00J/cm^2$ indoor and outdoor, respectively. Hardness at cross-section was 47.92 and 49.20 MPa indoor and outdoor, respectively. With one-year conditioning at indoor or outdoor, there was no significantly different in strength properties, which came from strong resistance for deterioration. Also Phellodendron amure wood showed dimensionally stable raw material based on low T/R ratio.
