In this paper, an 1.2V 8b 800MSPS A/D Converter(ADC) with an odd number of folding block to overcome the asymmetrical boundary-condition error is described. The architecture of the proposed ADC is based on a cascaded folding architecture using resistive interpolation technique for low power consumption and high input frequency. The ADC employs a novel odd folding block to improve the distortion of signal linearity and to reduce the offset errors. In the digital block, furthermore, we use a ROM encoder to convert a none-$2^n$-period code into the binary code. The chip has been fabricated with an $0.13{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS technology. The effective chip area is $870{\mu}m\times980{\mu}m$. SNDR is 44.84dB (ENOB 7.15bit) and SFDR is 52.17dBc, when the input frequency is 10MHz at sampling frequency of 800MHz.

In wireless sensor networks, one of the most important goals of designing protocols is to extend the network lifetime. A node has lots of duplication in sensing and communication range with surrounding nodes after many of nodes are randomly scattered. Such a heavy duplication overhead affects on the network lifetime seriously so usually all nodes need not activated constantly to carry out sensing and communication operation. One of the optimal methods of prolonging the network lifetime is finding the number of surrounding nodes necessary to maintain the network coverage and connectivity. It has been studied till the current date in wireless networks. If the neighbor necessary can be acquired to satisfy the probability using the ideal number of neighbors necessary and the acquired number of neighbors m to guarantee network coverage and connectivity. We use the result that F. Xue et al and S. Song et al derive previously in finding the neighbor necessary to guarantee the network connectivity and cany out the computer simulation to verify the necessary number. We present that our scheme satisfy the network coverage and connectivity. We present the simulation results compared with constant probability scheme through computer simulation.

One of the largest changes in retail business in Korea since the distribution market was opened in the mid 1990s is the appearance of foreign discount stores and the rapid growth of department stores. Discount stores and department stores have changed the structure of distribution business which has been primarily made up of traditional markets and supermarkets that have been the main retail markets in Korea. The retail business is changing from just a product purchasing place to a space where various values such as pleasure, happiness, etc. are provided. Therefore the purpose of this research is to grasp the effects that the shopping experience values at department stores have on the department brands, images, and awareness by means of theoretical and empirical research. Especially I classified the shopping experience values, an independent variable, into aesthetics, pleasures, consumers' interests, and services' excellence, and I verified whether they have a meaningful effects on the brand recognition and image, an endogenous variable, and the store royalty, a final various. A total of 235 questionnaires were used for analysis to test the research hypotheses. The positive analysis was done with SPSS 17.0K and AMOS 17.0 covariance structure analysis was performed. As a result, variables of the shopping experience values except consumers' interests seemed to have not only right influences on recognition and image, but also right influences on store royalty. Therefore this research shows that department store customers not only make use of department stores to buy products, but also visit department stores to get the values of pleasure and happiness, and that these aspects have a greater influence on the department store's image, recognition, or royalty in a sense.

Under circumstances of rapid disappearing of traditional ethnobotanical knowledge, traditional ethnobotanical knowledge surveys are the major step in documenting useful species with a conservation priority. In the ethnobotanical research, the relevance to the survey intensity, ethnobotanical information and plant species richness is the most important research theme. We made up TEK database in south Korea using metadata which had been published by the Korea National Arboretum. We calculated species richness using species richness estimator like ACE, Chao1, Chao2, ICE, Jack 1, Jack 2, and Bootstrap. Species accumulation curves showed each province sampling efforts appeared to be wide range of variance so that Gangwon province need more sampling efforts, and Chungnam province approached a horizontal asymptote earlier. We found heterogeneous patterns in the rarefaction curves of TEK species between gender for each categories of use (medicinal, food and handicrafts). Comparing with regional floral diversities, it was predicted that more diverse species would be found in some provinces by carrying out additional survey.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of the e-learning courseware which is about the properties of earth environmental change. I made these materials using Lectora program, and to have more visual effect, I used movies and animations as much as possible. A lot of movies and pictures are added to help student understand the geographical age. Especially the forms of performance test questions are various, and student can check the answer right after taking test. Because of this, they can get a immediate feedback. In addition, this allows you to adapt yourself to the age of information by using the internet. Every plug-in is already linked together, so you only need to once. Pictures and moving reflections can be edited with ease. I hope this study will provide valuable aid for the education of earth science and a chance to develop better materials.

A computer program written to predict blast occurrence based on micro climatic events was developed and tested as an on-site microcomputer in field plots in 1984 and 1985. A microcomputer unit operating on alkaline batteries; continuously monitored air temperature, leaf wetness, and relative humidity; interpreted the microclimate information in relation to rice blast development and displayed daily values (0-8) of blast units of severity (BUS). Cumulative daily BUS values (CBUS) were highly correlated with blast development on the two susceptible cultivars, M-201 and Brazos grown in field plots. When CBUS values were used to predict the logit of disease proportions, the average coefficients of determination $(R^2)$ between these two factors were 71 to $91\%$, depending on cultivar and year. This was a significant improvement when compared to 61 to $79\%$ when days were used as a predictor of logit disease severity. The ability of CBUS to predict logit disease severity was slightly less with Brazos than M-201. This is significant inasmuch as Brazos showed field resistance at mid-sea­son. The results in this study indicate that the model has the potential for future use and that the model could be improved by incorporating other variables associated with host plants and pathogen races in addition to the key environmental variables.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential use of New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) as a new vegetable crop which will be cultivated in salt-affected soils such as reclaimed areas. New Zealand spinach ecotypes native to Korea were collected across the Southern, Western and Eastern seashore regions of the Korean peninsula, among which fifty-five accessions were later further propagated and evaluated genetically by using an AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) marker. Based on the AFLP analysis performed to uncover the genetic diversity of the collected ecotypes, enzymatic cleavage of the extracted DNA was implemented based on 12 EcoRI and MseI combinations. A total of 1,279 alleles (107 alleles per EcoRI and MseI enzyme combination) were successfully amplified, among which 62 alleles per enzyme combination were polymorphic (58%). The AFLP analysis indicated that the rate of genetic dissimilarity was 29% among the New Zealand spinach collections, which were clustered into the 7 genetic diversity group. This is the first report on the genetic variation in the genus Tetragonia, and the basic information can be applied to select parental lines for enhancing the segregation spectrum of the new halophytic vegetable plant grown in salt-affected areas.

This study proposed a Variable Speed Limits(VSL) algorithm to use traffic information based on Cumulative Demand-Capacity Analysis and evaluated its performance. According to the analysis result, the total of delay consisted of 3 separate parts. There was no change in total travel time although the total of delay decreased. These effects was analysed theoretically and then, evaluated through VISSIM, a microscopic simulator. VISSIM simulation results show almost same as those of theoretical analysis. Furthermore in SSAM analysis with VISSIM simulation log, the number of high risk collisions decreased 36.0 %. However, the total delay decrease effect is not real meaning of decrease effect because the drivers' desired speed is same whether the VSL model is operated or not. Nevertheless this VSL model maintains free flow speed for longer and increases the cycle of traffic speed fluctuation. In other words, this is decrease of delay occurrence and scale. The decrease of speed gap between upstream and downstream stabilizes the traffic flow and leads decrease number of high risk collision. In conclusion, we can expect increase of safety through total delay minimization according to this VSL model.
