This study has been carried out to investigate thermosyphon's geyser boiling phenomenon used to solar collector. evaporator section of thermosyphon used to solar collector is very much longer than that of condenser section. From the results from this study, Geyser boiling's cycle depends on cooling water, tilt angle and the applied heat load at the evaporator. In this study, according to heat load, the geyser boiling frequency is lower, but the amplitude higher. For the high tilt angle of heat pipe, the frequency and amplitude are lower and higher in the evaporator region, respectively. Whereas, these phenomena is in contrast in the condenser region.

In recent days, large-sized flat-panel display (FPD) has been increasingly applied to computer monitors and TVs. Mura defects, appearing as low contrast or non-uniform brightness region, sometimes occur in manufacturing of the Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Displays (TFT-LCD). Implementation of automatic Mura inspection methods is necessary for TFT-LCD production. Various existing Mura detection methods based on regression diagnostics, surface fitting and data transformation have been presented with good performance. This paper proposes an efficient Mura detection method that is based on a regression diagnostics using studentized residuals for automatic Mura inspection of FPD. The input image is estimated by a linear model and then the studentized residuals are calculated for filtering Mura regions. After image dilation, the proposed threshold is determined for detecting the non-uniform brightness region in TFT-LCD by means of monitoring the every pixel in the image. The experimental results obtained from several test images are used to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method for Mura detection.

A draconematid nematode species, Dracograllus filipjevi Allen and Noffsinger, 1978, is described from the washings of shallow littoral coralline algae at Guryongpo in the eastern coast of Korea. This species is recognized by the following characteristics: larger body size, number of posterior sublateral adhesion tubes (9 in male and 12-13 in female) and subventral adhesion tubes (8-9 in male and 9-10 in female), the absence of cephalic acanthiform setae on rostrum, the presence of longitudinally areolated body cuticle with dot-like punctations, the presence of some cuticular collar in swollen pharyngeal region, the shape of amphidial fovea (large, elongate, and loop-shaped in both sexes), the absence of preanal corniform setae, and the absence of lateral differentiation on narrow body region. Morphological features of the species using differential interference contrast photomicrographs are described in detail in the present work. The is the first report of D. filipjevi in Korea.

The X-ray projection system has long been used for steel-tube inspection and weld monitoring. The thickness of tubes and welded areas is based on the evaluation of radiographic shadow projections. The traditional tangential measurement estimates the distance of border lines of the projected wall shadows of a tube onto a radiographic image detector. The detected image in which although there is a variety of noise may be sectioned into several partitions according to its specific blocks. Imaging noise originates from most of elements of the system, such as shielding CCD camera, imaging screen, X-ray source, inspected object, electronic circuits and etc. The tangential projection incorrectness and noise influence on imaging quality. In this paper we first sectionalize the X-ray image on the basis of vertical contrast difference. And next functional and statistic analysis are carried on at each region. Geometrical distance and unsharpness of the edge caused by visual evaluation uncertainties are also discussed.

We have examined the chromatin structure of the HMRE/HSP82 and HMRa/HSP82 allels using three complementary approaches : DNase I chromating footprinting, micrococcal nuclease (MNase) nucleosome-protected ladder assay, and an in vivo E. coli dam methylase accessibility assay. The footprinting results indicate that the promoter and silencer sequences are assembled into nucleoprotein complexes which exhibit no detectable change in structure, despite a 70-fold range in expression levels. In addition, the promoter region of the HMRa/HSP82 allele is cleaved randomly by MNase in all cases, indicating the absence of anonical nucleosomes over this region irrespective of SIR4 or heat-shock. Finally, no discernible difference in the accessibility of the HMRE/HSP82 locus to dam methylase in SIR4 vs. sir4 cells was seenm which again suggests that the chromatin structure of HMRE/HSP82 allele is identical regardless of SIR4. Altogether, our results indicate that in contrast to other observations of the silent mating-type loci, no discernible structural alteration is detected at either HMR/HSP82 allele regardless of SIR genetic background or transcriptional state of the gene.

The dependence of the IR optical properties of PMMA/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite on the alumina content was investigated in the wavelength range of $3500-2800cm^{-1}$. The samples were prepared via emulsion polymerization technique using oleic acid as a coupling agent. Grafting density calculations were carried out by means of elemental analysis CHN to yield the best coupling agent content. FTIR analysis confirmed the existence of a chemical bond between aluminum oxide and oleic acid. The outcomes of XRD analyses showed the presence of cubic gamma aluminum oxide in the nanocomposite, in contrast to the amorphous nature of PMMA. TEM images showed the core-shell morphology of the particles other than pristine PMMA. Optical constants of the nanocomposite were calculated based on FTIR spectra and the Kramers-Kronig equations. The presence of nano alumina modified some of the optical indexes in IR region.

We investigate the radial properties of the narrow-line region (NLR) in two radio-quiet quasars, PG1012+008 and PG1307+085, using the spectra obtained with the FORS1 at the Very Large Telescope. These high quality spectra with seeing < 0.6" enable us to extract seven two-pixel (0.4") spectra as a function of the radial distance from the accretion disk. In contrast to [OIII] narrow-band imaging, which can be contaminated by starbursts, shock-ionized gas, and tidal tails, we use emission-line diagnostic to determine the true size of the AGN-excited NLR. In this poster, we present the results based on the radial variance of $H{\beta}$ to [OIII] ${\lambda}5007$ ratio. For both targets, the [OIII] emission line exhibits a blue wing, suggesting an outflow of gas. In the case of PG1307+085, the blue wing disappears at the distance of 1". We will discuss the properties of the NLR in detail.

In contrast to the $\pi$ -conjugated polymers which typically absorb light only in the visible spectral region, the $\sigma$-conjugated polymers can be used as efficient material absorbing light in the UV region. In this work, the electronic and optical properties of I$_2$-doped $\sigma$ -conjugated poly (methyl-phenylsilylene) (PMPSi) polymer were investigated. DC conductivity up to 1.2$\times$10$^{-4}$ S/cm was obtained by I$_2$-doping. In UV/Vis absorbance spectrum, a new peak was observed near 370 nm, which was explained by polaron model. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity decreased with increasing degree of I$_2$-doping, and the Infrared (IR) spectrum analysis revealed that the dopants are not directly coupled to the polymer, but effect motions of the methyl and phenyl groups.

In this paper, I propose a method which can enhance the visual quality of IRST images based on a loaded location in ship and an AOS. The IRST adjusts an AOS to detect targets with various altitudes because of its narrow vertical field of view and offers various functions to enhance images with its low contrast. In the proposed method, images are divided into two regions of sea and sky on the basis of the horizon after establishing relation between an AOS and a horizon location within an image. As a result, image enhancement of the proposed method is performed adaptively according to the divided region while that of conventional method is performed for entire image without the region division. Simulation results show that the proposed method represents higher visibility compared with conventional one.

Using VLT/MUSE and ALMA data, we present a spatially-resolved analysis of the central part of NGC 5728. We find enhanced star formation (${\sim}1.8M{\odot}/yr/kpc2$) at a region where AGN gas outflows intersect the star formation ring. In contrast, significantly weaker CO emission (~3.5 times) is found at the same region compared to other regions in ring, suggesting positive AGN feedback on star formation. On the other hand, we detect gas outflows outside of the spiral arms, implying that the inflowing gas in the arms is removed (i.e., negative feedback). Even though the positive and negative feedback are expected at the central part of NGC 5728, the impact of the AGN feedback in galaxy scale may be insignificant.
