Pd금속을 9$\AA$보다 많은 양을 Si표면에 증착한 경우에 형성되는 Pd-실리사이드는 순 수한 Pd금속이 쌓이기 전단계인 Pd양이 많은 $Pd_3Si$상이다. 또한, Si표면에 Pd금속을 1$\AA$이 상을 증착 하였을 때 형성되는 Pd-실리사이드는 $Pd_2Si$상이다. 그리고, Si표면에 Pd금속을 1 $\AA$보다 작은 양을 증착한 Pd 3d 내각준위의 분광을 보면, Pd의 증착 두께가 얇아질수록 Pd 3d 내각준위의 반높이에서 반너비(half width at half maximum:HWHM)의 크기가 넓어진 다. 매우 작은 양의 Pd금속을 Si표면에 증착한 경우에 반너비가 넓어진 이유는 많은 연구자 들이 찾아낸 Pd-실리사이드인 $Pd_2Si$상외에 Si양이 많은 새로운 Pd-실리사이드인 PdSi상이 존재하는 것 때문이다.

If the thickness of Pd deposited is larger than 9$\AA$, its phase is $Pd_3Si$. This phase is followed by pure Pd phase with further deposition of Pd. Also, when the thickness of Pd deposited on top of Si(111) is larger than 1$\AA$, the phase of Pd-silicide formed is found to be Pd2Si. The full width at half maximum of Pd 3d core-levels increases with decreasing of Pd film thickness at low coverages ($\leq0.5\AA$). This is due to the formation of additional phase of Pd silicide, i.e. PdSi, in addition to $Pd_2Si$.

The development of preneoplastic and neoplastic squamous cell proliferations of body sites such as the skin, female lower genital tract, and larynx is strongly associated with specific types of human papillomaviruses (HPV). Antitumor $CD^{8+}$ cells recognize peptide antigens presented on the surface of tumor cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The MHC class I molecule is a heterodimer composed of an integral membrane glycoprotein designated the alpha chain and a noncovalently associated, soluble protein called beta-2-microglobulin( $\beta$ -2-m). Loss of $\beta$-2-m generally eliminates antigen recognition by antitumor $CD^{8+}$ T cells. We evaluated the expression of $\beta$-2-m as a potential means of tumor escape from immune recognition and the presence of HPV DNA as a cause of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Laryngeal SCCs (n=39) were analyzed for MHC class I expression by immunohistochemistry and for presence of HPV by in situ hybridization technique. The results were as follows : 1) HPV DNA was detected in 10 (25.64%) out of 39 cases in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. 2) MHC class I down-regulation (heterogenous and negative expression) in HPV positive lesions was higher than HPV negative lesions. 3) The expression of MHC class I was related to cellular differentiation regardless of T-stage and nodal involvement. In conclusion, HPV was thought to be the etiological factor of SCC of larynx, and we found that the down-regulation of MHC class I was a common phenomenon In laryngeal SCC and may provide a way for tumor cells to escape from immune surveillance.

X-선 광전자 분광법 (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: SPS)과 반사 고에너지 전 자 회절법(reflection high energy electron diffraction: RHEED)을 이용하여 상온과 고온(약 300~$500^{\circ}C$)에서 알칼리금속(AM)/Si(111)7$\times$7표면에 1 monolayer(ML)의 AM을 흡착시키면 Si(111)7$\times$7표면에 비해 산소의 초기 부착 계수(initial sticking coefficient)와 산소의 포화량 은 증가하지 않았다. Si(111)7$\times$7-AM표면에 산소의 주입량을 증가시키면서 측정한 O ls 스 펙트럼으로부터 AM이 흡착된 Si(111)7$\times$7표면에 흡착되는 산소원자는 Si-O, AM-O 두 종 류의 결합형태를 가지는 것으로 생각되며 이중에서 AM-O 결합의 산화과정상에서의 역할 에 대하여 논의하였다. 상온과는 달리 고온에서는, Si(111)3$\times$1-AM표면으로 구조가 변화하 면서 산소의 흡착이 급격히 떨어지는 것을 관측할 수 있었다. 이때 3$\times$1-AM표면을 형성시 키는 AM종류의 산화에 대한 의존성을 살펴보았다.

We have studied initial oxidation of the alkali metal(AM)/Si(111) surface using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) at room temperature(RT) and high temperature(HT)(300~50$0^{\circ}C$). The oxidation of the Si(111)7$\times$7 surface was promoted by the adsorption of 1 momolayer(ML) AM, whereas no promotion occurred for submonolayer(<0.5 ML) adsorbed Si(111)7$\times$7 surface at RT. O Is core level spectra were measured with increasing oxygen exposure. It was found that the oxygen adsorbed on the Si(111)7$\times$7-AM surface have two different bond configuration, Si-O and Am-O, respectively. From these results, we discussed the role of AM-O bonding in the promoted oxidation. At HT(300~50$0^{\circ}C$), the AM-adsorbed surface became very inactive with the structural transformation to the 3$\times$1-AM. We present the results of the oxidation of the Si(111)3$\times$1-AM(Na, K, Cs) surface.

Lingual thyroid is the term applied to a mass of ectopic thyroid tissue located on the base of the tongue in the midline. It may be found anywhere between the circumvallate papillae and the epiglottis. It is believed to be caused by developmental anomalies involving the descent of the embryologic gland anlage from its position posterior to the tuberculum impar to its normal pretracheal location between week 3 and week 7 of embryologic development. Differential diagnosis of the lingual thyroid would include lingual tonsillar hypertrophy, vallecular cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, epidermal cyst, lymphoma. Lingual thyroid is found in approximately 1 in 100,000 people, and affected individuals have no other thyroid tissue in 70% to 100% of cases. Recently, we have experienced a case of lingual thyroid with mild dysphagia in a 48-year-old male. Now we report the case with literature review.

Transformin the huge size of drawings into a suitable format for CAD system and recognizng the contents of drawings are the major concerans in the automated analysis of engineering drawings. This paper proposes some methods for text/graphics separation, symbol extraction, vectorization and symbol recognition with the object of applying them to electronic cirucit drawings. We use MBR (Minimum bounding rectangle) and size of isolated region on the drawings for separating text and graphic regions. Characteristics parameters such as the number of pixels, the length of circular constant and the degree of round shape are used for extracting loop symbols and geometric structures for non-loop symbols. To recognize symbols, nearest netighbor between FD (foruier descriptor) of extractd symbols and these of classification reference symbols is used. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate compact vector representation of extracted symbols and perform the scale change and rotation of extracted symbol using symbol vectorization. Also we achieve an efficient searching of circuit drawings.

The increasing incidence of multiple primary carcinomas occuring in the upper aerodigestive tract is well documented, with the accepted incidence being as high as 20-30%. The fiberoptic endoscopy has also enabled visualization of areas previously inaccessible without general anesthesia. A prospective panendoscopic examination of the upper aerodigestive tract was peformed on 104 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head & neck in our hospital between 1989 and 1994. Five second primary cancers (4.8% ：2 stomach, 2 esophagus, 1 lung cancers) were detected endoscopically. These finding should reinforce the belief that head & neck cancer is a panmucosal disease of the aerodigestive tract that silent second primary cancers are not uncommon. So every effort should be done to detect second primary cancers in head & neck squamous cell carcinomas. Panendoscopy has proved valuable in achieving that.

아크 용접작업은 그 작업 환경이 매우 열악하여 로보트를 이용한 자동화가 어느 분야보다 절실히 필요한 분야이다. 특히 인건비의 증가, 생산성 향상 등 여러 가지 측면에서 볼 때 용접 로보트의 도입이 요망되고 있다. 대표적으로 자동차 업계, 조선업계, 중장비 업계 등에서 아크용접 로보트를 필요로 하고 있다. 현재 국내에서 사용되는 대부분의 아크 용접용 로보트는 일본 및 유럽의 선진사들이 제조한 것들이 다. 일부 국내 로보트 제조업체들이 용접 로보트를 생산, 공급하고 있으나 대부분 선진사와 기술 제휴하여 국내에서 생산만하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 최근 들어 용접 용 로보트를 국산화하려는 노력들이 도처에서 보여지고 있다. 이 글에서는 아크용접 로보트 중에서 핵심 부분 중의 하나인 제어기의 구성과 그 필요기술, 기능등을 살펴 봄으로써 국내의 용접용 로보트 기술 개발 방향을 살펴 보고자 한다.

The styloid process is a slender, cylindrical bony outgrowth located immediately in front of the stylomastoid foramen and fused to the inferior aspect of the temporal bone. The elongated styloid process is not so frequent and the styloid syndrome is a dull, nagging pain in the oropharynx, often referred to the ear and the mastoid region. The symptoms are secondary stimulation of the nerves and vessels which pass close to the tip of the process. The clinical diagnosis is certain if the elongated styloid process is palpated through the tonsillar area. Radiologic investigation give information about the length of the styloid process and medial angulation. The treatment of choice is surgical shortening of the process. Recently, the authors experienced a case of elongated styloid syndrome misdiagnosed as pharyngeal neurosis in a 28 year-old male patient.

To evaluate the diagnostic value of pulmonary perfusion scan, we obtained 99mTc MAA per-fusion lung scan from 25 cases of airway foreign bodies. The results were as follows. 1) Significant changes in blood gases were not observed after the establishment of regional hypoperfusion caused by airway foreign body. 2) Near total or total defect was noted on perfusion scan from most of the airway foreign body. 3) There was correspondance of findings of perfusion lung scan and duration of airway foreign body. 4) After the removal of airway foreign bodies, perfusion scan abnormalities were reversed in parallel with the recovery of pulmonary blood flow. We concluded that pulmonary perfusion scan may be valuable for detection of foreign body and reversible hypoperfusion.

TiN 박막은 저온(<$500^{\circ}C$), 저압(1Torr)에서 Tetrakis(diethylamido)titanium[TDEAT, Ti(NEt2)4]single precursor를 사용하여 증착하였다. 증차고딘 박막은 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy)으로 surface morphology와 step coverage를 측정하였고, TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy)분석결과 microcrystalline의 TiN을 확인하였다. XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)분석결과에 따르면 $200-500^{\circ}C$구간에서는 $\beta$-hydogen elimination에 의한 반응이 일어나고 $600-700^{\circ}C$구간에서는 thermal decomposition에 의한 반응이 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있다. Carbon과 oxygen의 농도는 AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 측정하였으며 온도가 감소할수록 carbon의 농도가 감소하는 경향을 보여주고 있다.

It is assumed in the block matching algorithm(BMA) that all the pels in a block have a same motion vector. Then, the motion vector of a block in the BMA is matched to only one or none of the objects in the worst case if objects in a block have different motion vectors. This is apparent in the motion estimation using the fast BMA which has the effect of reducing the computation time and hardware complexity, compared to the full search BMA. Although the motion vector in the motion estimation using small block size is accurate, the increased number of bits is required to represent motion vectors. In this paper, new motion vector segmentation with less additional information and hardware complexity than the conventional method is proposed. In the proposed method, a motion vector is derived from the block for motion vector segmentation and another motion vector is extracted from four neighboring blocks to consiture a motion vector pair. For the accurate motion vector of each subblock, the motion vector is assigned to each subblock by mean squared error measure. And the overlapped motion compensation using window is also applied to reduce displaced frame difference.
