In this paper, The four types SRA(Sequential Rotated Array) antennas has been analyzed. Those are consisted of a 4-elements SRA, a 8-elements SRA, the $2{\times}2$ planer array SRA and the triple (4+8+4)-elements SRA. These LHCP SRA antennas are used a probe feeding multi-layer truncated microstrip antenna whose center frequency is 11.85 CHz. The cooperated feeding circuits are designed for feeding to each elements with equal amplitude and regular phase. Comparing with the each simulation results and experiment results of this 4-type SRA antennas, the triple (4+8+4)-elements SRA showed the most electrical characteristics in the degree of integration, high gain and low cross polarization.

In this paper, a technique for increasing the bandwidth of microstrip array antennas using the parallel coupled lines on a single layer is presented. Four types of wideband microstrip array antenna are designed and the characteristics of each type are analyzed. In addition, an iterative method using a distributed network is proposed to design the parallel coupled lines as a wideband impedance matching network. Measurements show that the proposed antennas provide wider bandwidths ∼1.7 times those of conventional microstirp array antennas, while the sizes of proposed antennal are the same as that of a conventional array. And low cross-polarization level can be obtained through symmetrical locations of the parallel coupled lines section

In this paper, the sequentially rotated array(SRA) antenna with 256 elements applicable for satellite broadcasting reception was designed by arraying this triple(4+8+4 element) SRA antenna as a sub-array antenna. The structure of a triple SRA antenna is a combination of three coaxial shells composed with 4 elements of inner shell and 8 elements of middle shell and 4 elements of outer shell. In accordance with the optimum design rules for realizing a high gain antenna, the sequential array factors(M, P) of inner shell and outer shell have been chosen M=4 and P=1 and that of middle shell has been chosen M=8 and P=1. The results of the simulation and the measurement for the proposed triple(4+8+4 element) SRA antenna and the SRA antenna with 256 elements show good characteristics on the integration, bandwidth of the axial ratio and the cross-polarization, the gain respectively.

In this paper, wireless channel characteristics of massive MIMO system is analyzed by comparing angular spread, cross polarization discrimination(XPD) and delay spread of dual polarized 4 and 128 transmit array antenna systems, by using 3D rat-tracing simulator, Wireless Insite in microcell environments. The analysis shows that increasing the number of transmit antennas results in the smaller angular spread and delay spread, and the higher value of XPD.

Mixed primers based on the high sequence homology of selected regions of known connexins (Cxs) was used for PCR reaction. A full-length connexin cDNA of sweetfish (Plecoglossus altivelis) was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA 5'and (5'RACE) and 3'RACE method. When compared to other known Cx sequences, homology of sweetfish Cx cDNA to Atlantic croaker, Mycropogonias undulatus Cx32.7, bovine, Bos taurus Cx44 and Atlantic croaker Cx32.2 were $63.8{\%},\;61.6{\%}\;and\;56.7{\%}$, respectively. This cDNA encoded 308 amino acids (35,028 dalton) and named as sweetfish Cx35. Hydropathicity analysis of predicted amino acid sequences indicated that sweetfish Cx35 have four major hydrophobic regions and four major hydrophilic regions, suggesting its topology is similar to that of known Cxs. The presence of a tfical Cx consensus sequences were identified in each of the extracellular loops (first loop and second loop).

We made a study of 3-D migration which could precisely image data of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) applied to NDT (Non-Destructive Test) field for the inspection of structural safety. In this study, we obtained 3-D migrated images of important targets in structuresurvey (e.g. steel pipes, cracks) by using 3-D Kirchhoff prestack depth migration scheme developed for seismic data processing. For a concrete model consisting of steel pipe and void, the targets have been well defined with opposite amplitude according to the parameters of the targets. And migrated images using Parallel-Broadside array (XX configuration) have shown higher resolution than those using Perpendicular-Broadside array (YY configuration) when steel pipes had different sizes. Therefore, it is required to analyze the migrated image of XX configuration as well as that of general YY configuration in order to get more accurate information. As the last stage, we chose a model including two steel pipes which cross each other. The upper pipe has been resolved clearly but the lower has been imaged bigger than the model size due to the high conductivity of the upper steel.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of sling exercise program on muscle activity and cervical spine curvature of person with forward head posture. The subjects, 25 students, were divided into two groups. This experiment was intended to examine the muscle activity and cervical spine curvature while the subjects had performed the exercises to do for 2 times/week and 4 weeks. The factors of FHP were measured cranial vertical angle, cranial rotation angle, muscular activity and cervical spine curvature. Cervical spine curvature measured craniovertical, craniocervical, cervicohorizontal and upper cervical angle. Collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 10.0. After experiment for 4 weeks period, results were as following: Both group was significant difference of the results according to the CVA. Exercise group are more effective to increase muscle activity (p<.05), but cervical spine curvature was no significant difference. This result, we could find out there was a significant correlation between sling exercise and muscle activity, CVA and CRA.

The angle-tracking of maneuvering targets is required to the state estimation and classification of targets in underwater acoustic systems. The Problem of angle-tracking multiple closed and crossing targets has been studied by various authors. Sword et al. Proposed a multiple target an91e-tracking algorithm using angular innovations of the targets during a sampling Period are estimated in the least square sense using the most recent estimate of the sensor output covariance matrix. This algorithm has attractive features of simple structure and avoidance of data association problem. Ryu et al. recently Proposed an effective multiple target angle-tracking algorithm which can obtain the angular innovations of the targets from a signal subspace instead of the sensor output covariance matrix. Hwang et al. improved the computational performance of a multiple target angle-tracking algorithm based on the fact that the steering vector and the noise subspace are orthogonal. These algorithms. however. are ineffective when a subset of the incident sources are coherent. In this Paper, we proposed a new multiple target angle-tracking algorithm for coherent and incoherent sources. The proposed algorithm uses the relationship between source steering vectors and the signal eigenvectors which are multiplied noise covariance matrix. The computer simulation results demonstrate the improved Performance of the Proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an underwater acoustic sensor fault detection method for passive sonar systems. In general, a passive sonar system displays processed results of array signals obtained from tens of the acoustic sensors as a two-dimensional image such as displays for broadband or narrowband analysis. Since detection result display in the operation software is to display the accumulated result through the array signal processing, it is difficult to determine the possibility where signal may be contaminated by the fault or failure of a single channel sensor. In this paper, accordingly, we propose a detection method based on the analysis of RMSCR (Root Mean Square Crossing-Rate), and the processing techniques for the faulty sensors are analyzed. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the precision of detecting fault sensors is measured by using signals acquired from real array being operated in several coastal areas. Besides, we compare performance of fault processing techniques. From the experiments, it is shown that the proposed method works well in underwater environments with high average RMS, and mute (set to zero) shows the best performance with regard to fault processing techniques.

We synthesized the intercalation compound between a layered double hydroxide and an ethyl orange. The orientation of the intercalated ethyl orange into the layered double hydroxide was investigated. The molecular plane of the ethyl orange and its N＝N axis lie nearly perpendicular to the hydroxide layers with an antiparallel pattern.
