<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Procured 7.1 billion won in national funding. Selected 4 years in a row [May 11, 2011] Yeungnam University (president Lee, Hyo-soo) was selected for the \'2011 Education Capacity Improvement Support Program\' and will be receiving 7.1 billion won in national funding, which is the highest amount among national private universities. Since the first education capacity improvement program in 2008, it has been selected for all four years. Recently, the Ministry of Science, Education and Technology (MEST; minister Lee, Ju-ho) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (president Oh, Se-jeong) announced the results of the selections for the 2011 \'Education Capacity Improvement Support Program\'. The \'Education Capacity Improvement Support Program\' for improvement of the quality and competitiveness of university education selects schools depending on the educational conditions and performance. For the first time this year, pre-examination procedures on the formula index was implemented to enhance the reliability and feasibility of this program, and for the final selection, the indexes of the 17 pre-selected universities were pre-examined and reflected in the final results. In result, a total of 80 schools including Yeungnam University were selected. This represents that 18 of the 88 universities (20.5%) supported in 2010 were disqualified, with 10 new schools receiving the funding. MEST stated, \"This shows how much effort is made by universities for educational achievements and improvement of conditions, and we expect that through the process of being qualified and disqualified, improvement of educational capacities will be promoted.\" The total national funding of the education capacity improvement support program is 241.96 billion won. Yeungnam University received the most among private schools in the nation with 7.1 billion won. When including national, public and private schools, it has placed second (Kyungpook National University - 7.2 billion won). The funds can be invested as desired to improve the educational capacities of each university according to their own development strategy. Yeungnam University is planning to used the funding for strengthening research abilities and innovating education to foster \'Y-type Human Resources\', increasing scholarships, improving environments of education and research, developing various employment programs, and providing support for employment. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_047300753612640733 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard-2011/cheditor/show_image.php?im=__2011-06-08_09-31-24_1335.gif\" target=_blank> Students participating in the \'overseas company expedition\' as part of the education capacity improvement program pose for a photo

This exhibit that will continue until June 17 is the third museum exchange exhibit between Yeungnam University and Waseda University. Beginning with the \'Ainu comes to Korea - Life Culture Special Exhibit of Ainu in Japan\' (Nov 20, 2008 - Mar 27, 2009) held at the Yeungnam University Museum in 2008, it was followed in 2009 by the 2nd Special Exchange Exhibit \'Korean Peninsula seen through Ancient Maps of Yeungnam University Museum\' at the Aizu Museum of Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. There are 250 artifacts on display from the Kanto region that show the creative and unique ancient culture of Japan from the Jomon Period, Yayoi Period and Kofun Period. Most ancient Japanese artifacts exhibits held in Korea approached the comparative culture studies from a Korean perspective, and this is unique in the fact that it displays artifacts mainly from the Kanto region. In particular, the earthenware, bone tools, shells, stone tools, etc of the Japanese Jomon Period, which is equivalent to the Korean New Stone Age, will help people understand the times, as well as the appearance and development of earthenware, the tools and technologies (stone, bone and shell tools) of the people of the Jomon, mentality (ornaments, funeral rituals), and other cultures of the Jomon. Earthenware of Yayoi period found in Waseda University campus shows that this is when rice-farming became widespread in Japan. Also, the metal artifacts and Haniwa, which are terracotta clay figures, from the Kofun Period, which is equivalent to the Three Kingdoms Period of Korea, show a hint of ancient Japanese culture when royalty was first established. Meanwhile, Yeungnam University Museum offered various educational programs in relation to the exhibit with the sponsorship of the The Hahn Cultural Foundation. They include Korea-Japan archaeological seminars, gallery talks, \'at-your-door archaeological classes\' for multi-cultural families, on-site experience education for kindergarten and elementary school students (making Jomon earthenware patterns, playing the artifact puzzle, etc), as well as commentaries for exhibits. Professor Lee, Cheong-gyu (Department of Cultural Anthropology), director of Yeungnam University Museum, who planned this special exhibit, stated, \"It will not only be an opportunity for better understanding of ancient Japanese culture, but will be a valuable exhibit that promotes cultural exchanges between the two countries.\"

I came to the decision to chase my dreams of a new future in Korea, which I came to know about because of \'HOT\' and \'Shinhwa\' when I was an elementary school student. Being the only daughter, it was difficult to persuade my mother, but finally in 2004, I came to study in Korea filled with dreams and hopes. Finally, after sever years, I have become able to go back home in glory.

Professor Duvernay, who is well known as an avid fan of traditional Korean archery and also nicknamed the \'blue-eyed Jumong\', stated, \"Traditional archery can be enjoyed by anybody, regardless of disabilities, with practice. It not only improves health, but also can uplift a person\'s spirit,\" and added, \"I am very happy to be able to share the experience of archery, which is a tradition of the Korean people, together with both disabled and non-disabled people.\" Following the archery experience, another event for improving the mental and physical health of disabled youths through indoor sculling was held at the College of Education\'s rehabilitation training center. Kim, Han-cheol, dean of the Department of Special Physical Education, who hosted this event, stated, \"30 undergraduate students of the Department of Special Physical Education prepared for this event as volunteers, despite being the middle of mid-terms so that disabled youths could experience the traditional martial arts of archery at Apryangbeol, which was a training center for young warriors in the past.\" He also added, \"This is becoming a site for true character-building that is destroying the walls between the disabled and non-disabled.\"

My retirement is set because of YU so this is the least I can do to show my appreciation,\" and added, \"The happiest thing that I could want now is to see my students in the international stage.\" On this, president Lee, Hyo-soo stated, \"I am deeply appreciative of coming to college of music early in its years to contribute to the development of the voice major and of her great donation to foster students in the future,\" and added, \"We will use this donation wisely according to her intent.\" Lee Eui-won, the dean of the college of music also expressed his gratitude saying, \"The college of music is proud of her efforts to develop the college of music and to become a role model for us,\" and added, \"We will repay her for efforts by fostering great students.\" Her love for her students continues even after her retirement. She is famous for always visiting her students when they hold solo recitals regardless of the place and time to encourage and congratulate them. In early 2007, just before her retirement, she organized KATS (Korea Association of Teachers of Singing) with 20 professors and instructors from universities in the Daegu and Gyeonbuk. She chaired this organization for three years and after elevating it to an international society in 2009, she left her post as the chair, which was succeeded by her student Choi, Yun-hi, professor at the YU college of music, and is currently acting as an advisor. She visits Daegu to attend every meeting held once every three months. \"It\'s only natural for a teacher to want the best for her student,\" said Lee, while also adding, \"I majored in singing because I loved it, and I was able to teach students at the podium afterwards. I\'ve been blessed so I will live the rest of my life by giving what I can.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_07727026913997004 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard-2011/cheditor/show_image.php?im=__2011-05-16_15-21-51_1275.jpg\" target=_blank> Honorary professor Lee, Young-soon graduated from the Seoul National University Department of Vocal Music in 1977 and taught students for 30 years at Yeungnam University, while also being the dean of the major of voice and the college of music.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Professor Kim, Wha-kyong\'s Book Proves sovereignty over Dokdo Island from a Historic View Japanese claim based on myth [April 4, 2011] Recently, Japan\'s ministry of education, culture, sports, science and technology presented the results of verifying the textbooks for middle school sociology and announced its policies to \"Teach that Dokdo Island is the territory of Japan by both history and international law, and that Korea is illegally occupying it,\" and thus Korea-Japan foreign relations are once again being strained. At such point, YU\'s Professor Kim, Wha-kyong (64, Department of Korean Language and Literature) published the <History of Dokdo> (YU University Press, p. 397), clarifying the reason why Japan\'s claim is false and its problems. The author, who is also the director of the YU Dokdo Institute, begins his argument under the premise that Dokdo Island is a historic issue, and not one of international law. This is to make sure that Korea does not fall for Japan\'s plans to make Dokdo Island a regional of territorial dispute according to international law so that it can take the case to the International Court of Justice. Kim criticized, \"Japan is intending to make Dokdo Island an area of international territorial dispute so that Japan can make it into an issue of international law. However, behind this there is a conspiracy to ignore historic facts.\" The author suggests that based on the fact that Dokdo Island was located at a visible distance from Ulleungdo Island, it was a living space of people of Usanguk (Ulleungdo). This presumption is based on the customs of ancient civilizations without clear-cut concepts of borders that \'living space is as far as the land visible\', and such perception of space was found in Saito\'s book, proving that this was a common perception of the two countries. He also stated that during the course of establishing the name of Dokdo as Usando, there was a clear perception that it was a territory of Korea when composing the map in the <Sejong Chronicles>. Additionally in the process of resolving the \'Ulleungdo Issue\' (Korea-Japan conflict on the fishing rights and territorial rights when Park, Eo-dun and Ahn, Yong-bok were kidnapped by fishers of the Murakami family in 1693), he reveals that the Japanese feudal government perceived Ulleungdo (Jukdo) and Dokdo (Songdo) as one set. The Japanese feudal government at the time recognized Ulleungdo as Korean territory and forbid the crossing of sea to Jukdo (Ulleungdo), and its basis was the \'distance\' to Ulleungdo from Korea and Japan. In other words, this was because \"Ulleungdo was near Korea and very far from Hoki of Japan.\" Thus, this proves that Dokdo, which is close to Ulleungdo, was recognized as the territory of Korea. The author states that such territorial recognition of Dokdo was completed by the time of King Sukjong\'s reign. Based on the records in the <Sukjong Chronicles> in the 40th year of Sukjong (1714), it states that \"There is an island visible on the east side of Ulleungdo and it is near the border with Japan,\" which shows the Dokdo was declared as Korea\'s territory since the reign of King Sukjong. The author proved that the \'Preoccupancy of unclaimed land\', \'inherent territory theory\' and the 17th century cognitive theory\' that are the bases of Japan\'s territorial claims were not based on facts, but merely a lie made to take Dokdo, with concrete evidence. One example is that Inherent territory of the empire in the \'inherent territory theory\' that Japan uses to claim that Dokdo is their inherent land, are Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Awajido just as legend has, appearing in <Imperial Territory> discovered by Yamabe Kentaro in Ito Miyoji\'s a document. The author revealed this lack of logic claimed by Japan saying, \"Japan is the only country in the 21st century that claims inherent land based on legend.\" Through many studies and observations, the author shows that Usando was not perceived as a territory of Korea overnight, but was recognized since the 15th century. In chapter 8, after examining the critical mind on \"How did Japan view Dokdo before trying to take Dokdo\', the author revealed that in 1869, the Sata Hakubo envoy submitted a document called \'Facts Exchange with Joseon\' with clear instructions to \'investigate the facts on how Jukdo and Songdo became part of Joseon\', which in turn reveals that the Meiji government also recognized that Jukdo (Ulleungdo) and Songdo (Dokdo) as Korea\'s territory. Kim stated that \"During my research, it was repeatedly found that Dokdo was historically the territory of Korea,\" and criticized, \"Japan trying to claim that Dokdo is theirs with fraudulent logic is like trying to cover the sun with their hands and saying that the sun does not exist.\" He also emphasized, \"I repeat, Dokdo is a historic issue and not one of international law. Thus, our sovereignty over Dokdo must be defined from a historic perspective. There is absolutely no reason to try to solve it through international law.\" Meanwhile, Professor Kim presented Lee, Ju-ho, Minister of Education, Science and Technology, who attended the opening ceremony of \'Meeting Dokdo\' at the Cheonan Independence Hall of Korea on the 4th, with his book \'History of Dokdo\', and once again emphasized the importance of education on the history of Dokdo.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> New material to overcome limitations of nano sized semiconductor copper wires process US Physics Society selects as paper with academic value in the world\'s published theses in the nano sector Domestic Patent registered, and preparing to register for international patent [March 24, 2011] “With the size of semiconductors becoming nano sized (10⁻⁹), it has become difficult to fill copper, which is a conductive material, in the wiring for the current semiconductor manufacturing process, and has also resulted in the limitations caused by increased resistance. After one year of research to overcome this, it was possible to develop an epochal new material that can simplify the process, while enhancing performance. The fundamental solution to this was accurately understanding the property and properly utilizing it.\" Cheon, Tae-hoon (29, Master\'s degree course, photo), who is currently in the YU Graduate School of Materials Science and Engineering, recently developed a new material that can greatly reduce the stages for semiconductor processes. He became the first to develop the new material \'RuAlO\', which can replace the three layers (diffusion prevention layer, seed layer) that covers the copper wiring in semiconductors, with just one layer. \'RuAlO\' is a metallic material that was combined through the ALD (atomic layer deposition) of ruthenium (Ru) and ALD of aluminum oxide. When using this in the semiconductor process, it can not only sufficiently obtain space to install copper wires in semiconductor materials that are lower than 20nm, but also make direct plating of a thin layer on the copper wiring using the principle of electrolysis on top of this material, which can thus improve the properties of copper wires. It can also reduce resistance to minimize the size of the semiconductor materials, while also improving performance. Such achievement was made during the process of the ultra-fine/highly-reliable wiring technology development project, which was part of the \'industrial platform technology development project\', in which the Ministry of Knowledge Economy invests 2 billion won annually since March of last year. This was published in the international society last year, and caused quite a stir. Its value was recognized in early March by being published in the SCI-level international journal ≪Electrochemical and Solid-state Letters≫ (March 8). Also, on the 21st of this month, it was also published in the ≪Virtual Journal Of Nanoscale Science & Technology≫ co-published by the American Physical Society and American Institute of Physics. The ≪Virtual Journal Of Nanoscale Science & Technology≫ selects about 90 papers with great academic value among papers published around the world on the subject of nano and publishes them weekly. Cheon\'s paper received great interest from the international academic circles, as well as the semiconductor industry, after being published a week before. It is also being scheduled to be presented at the \'Materials Research Society\', which is the world\'s largest international academic conference on the materials sector, in San Francisco next month. Professor Kim, Soo-hyun (37, School of Materials Science and Engineering, right on photo), who was the advisor for the paper, stated, \"It is a great feat for a student in his master\'s degree program to have his paper selected with other papers in ≪Nature≫ or ≪Science≫ in the nano sector.\" Kim added, \"It is a great achievement in the semiconductor wiring process, which had become limited in procuring better performance during the course of reducing the size of semiconductors in order to enhance performance and degree of integration.\" Cheon, who is currently working as a TA at the YU Center for Research Facilities, is highly interested in understanding the properties of materials by utilizing various analysis techniques. He stated that he would like to continue research even after completing his studies, and said, \"We have already completed registration for domestic patents for the RuAIO that we developed, and we are currently getting ready to apply for an international patent. I am planning to continue experimenting to see if it can be used in other fields as well.\" He also added with a big smile, \"All new technologies are born through thorough understanding of the properties of the material, and various attempts at its application, and numerous trials and errors. Research on material properties, which is the basis for precision analysis, is very important and worth.\" ※ Atomic layer deposition: IT Dictionary Nano film attachment technology using the monoatomic layer that is chemically attached during the semiconductor manufacturing process. By repeatedly performing the adhesion and transposition of molecules on a wafer, it becomes possible for atomic layer-width ultra-fine layer-by-layer deposition, and oxide and metal film can be piled up at minimal thickness. In addition, because the particles made through the chemical reaction of gases can create a layer at a temperature lower than Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) at below 500 degrees, in which it is deposited on the wafer surface, it is suitable for SoC (system on chip) production. As a leader in high-technologies, Korea is at a leading position and exports core technologies.
