We report investigation of structural and optical characteristics of $In_2Se_3$ thin films fabricated by thermal annealing process. Indium (In) is deposited on substrates by sputtering methods and $In_2Se_3$ thin films are fabricated by thermal annealing it with selenium vapor. The annealing temperature was changed from $150^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. We observe formation and phase changes of $In_2Se_3$ thin films with increase of annealing temperature. Conglomeration of In is observed at low annealing temperature (${\leq}150^{\circ}C$). $In_2Se_3$ phases are started to form at $200^{\circ}C$ and ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ phase form at $350^{\circ}C$. High-quality ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ thin film with wurtzite structure is obtained at $400^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. Furthermore, we confirm that band gaps of $In_2Se_3$ thin films are increased according to increase of annealing temperature. Optical band gap of high-quality ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ is found to be 1.796eV. 열처리 공정으로 제조한 $In_2Se_3$ 박막의 구조 및 광학적 물성을 조사하여 보고한다. 기판위에 스퍼터링 방법으로 인듐(In: indium)을 증착하고 셀레늄 분위기에서 열처리 온도를 변화시키며 In-Se 박막을 제조하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 $In_2Se_3$ 박막의 형성과 상의 변화를 관찰 할 수 있었다. 낮은 열처리 온도(${\leq}150^{\circ}C$)에서는 In의 뭉침 현상을 관찰할 수 있었고 열처리 온도가 $250^{\circ}C$ 부터 $In_2Se_3$ 박막이 형성되며 $350^{\circ}C$ 에서 ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ 상이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 열처리 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$로 증가면 wurtzite 구조의 고품질 ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 $In_2Se_3$ 박막의 밴드갭이 증가함을 알 수 있었고, 열처리 온도 $400^{\circ}C$에서 제조된 ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ 결정질 박막의 밴드갭이 1.796eV임을 알았다.

망의 경계에 위치한 에지 라우터는 다른 망과의 연동을 위해서 여러 가지 형태의인터페이스와 각각의 인터페이스에 해당하는 여러 가지 프레임을 처리할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 여러 형태의 망과 연동 가능한 특성을 제공하기 위해서, 프로그램 가능한 이더넷 패킷 프로세서를 기반으로 에지 라우터의 프로토타입을 설계하고 구현한다. ATM 인터페이스에는 패킷을 처리할 수 있는 기능이 없으므로 프로그램 가능한 이더넷 패킷 프로세서에 기반한 포워딩 엔진과 1:1 대응시킴으로써 ATM 인터페이스에서 들어오는 셀화된 패킷에 대한 처리 및 전달을 담당한다. 또한, ATM 인터페이스에서 들어온 패킷일 경우 출력 인터페이스로 전단하기 위해서 포워딩 엔진의 기반인 패킷 프로세서의 되돌림 기능을 이용한다. 본 논문에서 구현된 에지 라우터의 성능은 실험을 통하여 분석한 포워딩 엔진의 성능에 근거하여 평가하고, 다른 라우터와의 연동시험을 통해서 상호 연동성을 시험한다. As the edge router provides the facility that it is capable of interworking with various kinds of networks, the forwarding engine should have the flexibility processing the corresponding types of frames from such network interfaces. In order to support the flexibility, we design and implement a prototype of edge router with ATM and Ethernet interfaces based on the programmable Ethernet packet processor Our forwarding engine handles and forwards the frames from ATM interfaces by using loop-back functionality of Ethernet packet processor. The performance of our edge router is evaluated by experiments throughout its performance of forwarding engine and tested by interworking with another kinds of routers.

박재형,김일진,이동진,심재학,송민섭,이영희,유중환,김한도,Park, Jae-Hyong,Kim, Il-Jin,Lee, Dong-Jin,Sim, Jae-Hak,Song, Min-Seop,Lee, Young-Hee,Yoo, Jung-Whan,Kim, Han-Do 한국청정기술학회 2018 청정기술 Vol.24 No.2

온도 변화에 따라 상 전이를 나타내는 열 감응성 고분자는 외부 온도 감응으로 태양광 투과 조절이 가능하므로 스마트 윈도우용 소재로 적용 가능하다. 넒은 온도 범위에서 사용 가능한 스마트 윈도용 열감응성 고분자의 개발은 바람직하다. 고 성능스마트 윈도우용 소재를 얻기 위하여, 단량체 N-isopropylacrylamide, 가교제 N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAm), 산화개시제 ammonium persulfate (APS)/촉매 tetramethylene diamine 및 혼합용매(물/글리세롤)을 사용하여 3차원의 열감응성(thermoresponsive) poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) 겔을 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 혼합용매 중의 글리세롤의 함량이 가교된 PNIPAm 겔 필름의 하한임계온도(low critical solution temperature, LCST), 어는점 및 태양광의 투광도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 글리세롤 함량이 0 wt%에서 10 wt%로 증가하면 PNIPAm 겔 필름의 LCST/어는점은 각각 $34.3/6.3^{\circ}C$에서 $28.2/-6.5^{\circ}C$로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. LCST보다 낮은 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 본 연구에서 합성한 모든 PNIPAm 겔 필름은 투명(광 투과)하지만 LCST보다 높은 $45^{\circ}C$에서는 불투명하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 본 연구에서 합성한 PNIPAm 겔 소재는 $-6.5^{\circ}C$ 부근에서도 스마트 윈도우용 소재로 활용할 가능성이 높음을 알 수 있다. Thermo-responsive polymers that exhibit phase transition in response to temperature change can be used as materials for smart windows because they can control solar light transmission depending on the outside temperature. The development of thermo-responsive polymers for smart windows that can be used over a wide temperature range is desirable. To obtain high performance smart windows materials, three-dimensional thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) gels were prepared by free radical polymerization from monomer N-isopropylacrylamide, N, N'-methylenebis acrylamide (MBAm) as a crosslinking agent, ammonium persulfate (APS) as a strong oxidizing agent/tetramethylene diamine as a catalyst, and a mixture of two solvents (water/glycerol). This study examined the effect of glycerol content on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), freezing temperature and the solar light transmittance of crosslinked PNIPAm gel films. The LCST and freezing temperature of PNIPAm gel films were found to be significantly decreased from 34.3 and $6.3^{\circ}C$ to 28.2 and $-6.5^{\circ}C$ with increasing glycerol content from 0 wt% to 10 wt%, respectively. It was found that the transparent PNIPAm gel films at $25^{\circ}C$ (temperature < LCST) were converted to translucent gels at higher temperature ($45^{\circ}C$) (temperature > LCST). These results suggested that the crosslinked PNIPAm gel materials prepared in this study could have high potential for application in smart glass materials.

Purpose: In this study, we intended to ascertain the benefit of KT-2000 Knee arthrometer(KT-2000) in the diagnosis of ACL(Anterior cruciate ligament) injury by comparing the anterior displacement of normal knee with that of ACL deficient knee. Materials and Methods: We designated two examiners to measure the anterior displacement of the knee joint of 30 healthy individuals, using KT-2000, at 30$^{\circ}$ flexion setting of muscle full relaxation, contraction, 25$^{\circ}$ internal rotation and 25$^{\circ}$ external rotation and analyzed these results according to the variables and measured the preoperative anterior displacement of the ACL injured knee in the 30 patients who have gone through an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction later. Results: The results of examiner 1 are 6.5${\pm}$1.5 mm, 2.5${\pm}$0.9 mm, 4.8${\pm}$1.2 mm, 6.4${\pm}$1.3 mm in right knee and 5.6${\pm}$1.3 mm, 2.1${\pm}$0.8 mm, 4.5${\pm}$1.2 mm, 5.2${\pm}$1.3 mm in left knee, in order of muscle full relaxation, contraction, 25$^{\circ}$ internal rotation and 25$^{\circ}$ external rotation. The results of examiner 2 are 6.9${\pm}$1.2mm, 2.9${\pm}$1.1mm, 5.6${\pm}$1.6mm, 6.9${\pm}$1.5mm in right, 5.5${\pm}$1.7 mm,1.9${\pm}$0.9 mm, 5.1${\pm}$1.9 mm, 5.7${\pm}$1.6 mm in left knee, The side to side difference of examiner 1 in the setting of muscle relaxation is 0.9${\pm}$1.0 mm. The anterior displaement of ACL injured knee is average 11${\pm}$2.93 mm and difference of average 6.5${\pm}$2.31 mm form that of normal. In comparison between the right and left knees of healthy individuals, the both results of two examiners showed the statistical difference in the setting of muscle full relaxation but, the results showed the side to side difference below 2 mm in 25case(83%), 21case(70%) respectively and above 3 mm in just 1 case. In the comparison between the normal and ACL injured knees, the results show the statistical difference of the side to side difference in the setting of muscle relaxation(p<0.05). Conclusion: The KT-2000 result is affected by relaxation of muscles around knee, flexion angle of knee joint, rotation of tibia, the strength of displacing force, time of the test and physical factors as height and weight. However, the Accuracy of diagnosis of ACL injury by KT-2000 will increase if the examiner is skillful and the tests are made on the exact position of knee joint.

박재형,김형수,김현철,지정민,Park Jai-Hyung,Kim Hyoung-Soo,Kim Hyun-Chul,Ji Jeong-Min 대한정형외과스포츠의학회 2004 대한정형외과스포츠의학회지 Vol.3 No.2

Thigh injuries are relatively uncommon sports injuries. But the incidence is increasing as many kinds of sports activity develops. And the prompt recognition and treatment of these injuries are critical to prevent prolonged disability. Also, despite the simple anatomic structure of the thigh, this region is finely tuned muscular mechanism with both anterior and posterior muscles crossing two joints. So the contracture of thigh muscle can result in not only decreased range of motion of the knee and hip joint, but also painful lumbar spine. So we reviewed recent literatures about the type of thigh injuries, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

박재형,Kenya Kusunose,Deborah H. Kwon,Margaret M. Park,Serpil C. Erzurum,James D. Thomas,Richard A. Grimm,Brian P. Griffin,Thomas H. Marwick,Zoran B. Popović 대한심장학회 2015 Korean Circulation Journal Vol.45 No.5

Background and Objectives: Right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) is a new parameter of RV function. We evaluated the relationship of RVLS by speckle-tracking echocardiography with functional and invasive parameters in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. Subjects and Methods: Thirty four patients with World Health Organization group 1 PAH (29 females, mean age 45±13 years old). RVLS were analyzed with velocity vector imaging. Results: Patients with advanced symptoms {New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III/IV} had impaired RVLS in global RV (RVLSglobal, -17±5 vs. -12±3%, p<0.01) and RV free wall (RVLSFW, -19±5 vs. -14±4%, p<0.01 to NYHA class I/II). Baseline RVLSglobal and RVLSFW showed significant correlation with 6-minute walking distance (r=-0.54 and r=-0.57, p<0.01 respectively) and logarithmic transformation of brain natriuretic peptide concentration (r=0.65 and r=0.65, p<0.01, respectively). These revealed significant correlations with cardiac index (r=-0.50 and r=-0.47, p<0.01, respectively) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, r=0.45 and r=0.45, p=0.01, respectively). During a median follow-up of 33 months, 25 patients (74%) had follow-up examinations. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP, 54±13 to 46±16 mmHg, p=0.03) and PVR (11±5 to 6±2 wood units, p<0.01) were significantly decreased with pulmonary vasodilator treatment. RVLSglobal (-12±5 to -16±5%, p<0.01) and RVLSFW (-14±5 to -18±5%, p<0.01) were significantly improved. The decrease of mPAP was significantly correlated with improvement of RVLSglobal (r=0.45, p<0.01) and RVLSFW (r=0.43, p<0.01). The PVR change demonstrated significant correlation with improvement of RVLSglobal (r=0.40, p<0.01). Conclusion: RVLS correlates with functional and invasive hemodynamic parameters in PAH patients. Decrease of mPAP and PVR as a result of treatment was associated with improvement of RVLS

박재형,장익현,정민영,원용관,Park, Jae-Hyung,Jang, Ik-Hyeon,Chung, Min-Young,Won, Yong-Gwan 한국정보처리학회 2003 정보처리학회논문지 C : 정보통신,정보보안 Vol.10 No.5

인터넷에서 IP 패킷 전송은 링크의 전송 속도와 더불어 라우터에서의 패킷 처리 속도에 영향을 받는다. 라우터는 외부 인터페이스에서 입력되는 패킷을 목적지로 보내기 위한 다음 홉을 결정하여 패킷을 전달하는 역할을 수행한다. 이 과정에서 주소 검색은 고성능의 라우터 설계에 중요한 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 트라이 자료 구조 기반의 IP 주소 검색 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 경로 압축을 이용한 분할 압축 트라이 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 분할 압축 트라이에서는 IP 주소 프리픽스들을 여러 개의 분할 압축 트라이로 나누어서 하나의 분할된 압축 트라이에서만 검색이 이루어지도록 하여 압축 트라이에서 탐색하는데 드는 시간을 줄이는 방법이다. 분할을 함으로써 늘어나게 되는 메모리의 부담이 적음을 보여준다. Packet processing speed of routers as well as transmission speed of physical links gives a great effect on IP packet transfer rate in Internet. The router forwards a packet after determining the next hop to the packet's destination. IP address lookup is a main design issue for high performance routers. In this paper, we propose a partitioned compressed-trie for speeding-up IP address lookup algorithms based on tie data structure by exploiting path compression. In the ,proposed scheme, IP prefixes are divided into several compressed-tries and lookup is performed on only one partitioned compressed-trie. Memory access time for IP address lookup is lessen due to compression technique and memory required for maintaining partition does not increased.

Background: New 2-dimensional strain echocardiography enables quantification of right ventricular (RV) mechanics byassessing global longitudinal strain of RV (GLSRV) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, theprognostic significance of impaired GLSRV is unclear in these patients. Methods: Comprehensive echocardiography was performed in 51 consecutive PAH patients without atrial fibrillation (40females, 48 ± 14 years old) with long-term follow-up. GLSRV was measured with off-line with velocity vector imaging (VVI,Siemens Medical System, Mountain View, CA, USA). Results: GLSRV showed significant correlation with RV fractional area change (r = -0.606, p < 0.001), tricuspid annular planesystolic excursion (r = -0.579, p < 0.001), and RV Tei index (r = 0.590, p < 0.001). It showed significant correlations with pulmonaryvascular resistance (r = 0.469, p = 0.001) and B-natriuretic peptide concentration (r = 0.351, p = 0.012). During a clinical followuptime (45 ± 15 months), 20 patients experienced one or more adverse events (12 death, 2 lung transplantation, and 15 heartfailure hospitalization). After multivariate analysis, age [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.343, p = 0.040] and GLSRV (HR = 2.122, p =0.040) were associated with adverse clinical events. Age (HR = 3.200, p = 0.016) and GLSRV (HR = 2.090, p = 0.042) were alsosignificant predictors of death. Impaired GLSRV (≥ -15.5%) was associated with lower event-free survival (HR = 4.906, p = 0.001)and increased mortality (HR = 8.842, p = 0.005). Conclusion: GLSRV by VVI showed significant correlations with conventional echocardiographic parameters indicating RVsystolic function. Lower GLSRV (≥ -15.5%) was significantly associated with presence of adverse clinical events and deaths inPAH patients.
