The contribution of electrostatic interactions to protein folding reaction was studied by using mutant ubiquitin with lysine to alanine mutation at residue position 29. Based on the three dimensional structure of ubiquitin, lysine 29 is located close to negatively charged glutamate 16 and aspartate 21 and considered to stabilize the native state of ubiquitin by electrostatic interactions between these residues. The equilibrium unfolding experiment showed that the native stability was decreased by about ~20% upon mutation. This observation indicates lysine 29 indeed forms electrostatic interactions with nearby residues. Folding kinetics measurements using stopped-flow device and quantitative analysis of kinetics data indicate that ubiquitin folds from unfolded state to native state via intermediate state as observed previously. This intermediate state was observed to form immediately after the initiation of folding reaction. The folding intermediate was shown to be destabilized considerably upon lysine to alanine mutation. These observations indicate that electrostatic interactions can form early stage of protein folding and hence lead the folding reaction.

본 연구에서는 코움 드라이브에 비해 구동력은 크고 평행 판 구동 방식에 비해서는 선형 특성이 우수하며 안정된 구동거리가 증가하는 특성을 갖는 새로운 정전력(electrostatic force) 구동 방식을 제안한다. 운동 전극과 고정 전극을 기울어지게 배치하여 전극 면에 평행한 정전력 $F_x$와 전극 면에 수직인 정전력 $F_y$의 합력 $F_e$ 방향으로 전극을 운동시킴으로써 정전력의 방향과 전극의 운동 방향을 일치시킨다. 제안된 구동방식의 정전력 모델을 이용한 해석 결과 코움 드라이브에 비해서는 구동력이 50 % 이상 크며 평행 판 구동에 비해서는 안정된 구동 거리가 10 - 30 % 이상 증가하는 구동 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 제안된 구동방식을 이용하여 HDD의 트랙 방향 저장 밀도를 증가시키기 위한 듀얼스테이지 서보(dual-stage servo)에 사용 될 마이크로 액츄에이터 (microactuator)를 설계하고 SoG(Silicon on Glass) 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다.

Large capacity UPS and emergency generators are being installed and operated at the specific target of important electric facilities that need uninterruptible power supply by the method of countermeasure against power failure for the less reliable incoming power method. Recently, CTTS (Closed Transition Transfer Switch) is being used as uninterruptible power transfer switch at the Common sources of electricity, generator and multiple generators. In this paper, construction plans for uninterruptible power supply system has been suggested in which CTTS has been applied to the secondary of incoming power generator for reliable common dual system method. By briefing the construction of incoming power facilities, large capacity UPS, emergency generator installation space and investment saving effects can be achieved.

The operation properties of DBD plasma reactors were observed by using 20 kV square pulse at the cylindrical and planar type of reactors in the condition of air pressure. The optimum operation frequency $f_0$ which optimizes the efficiency of operation was found as such $f_0\proptoexp(-C)$ when the current-voltage curve and charge-voltage curve were observed. Using these properties the dissipated power was evaluated. The dissipated power at the optimum frequency of operation was varied as the value of capacitance which is dependent on the structure and the dielectric material of the reactor, and had the maximum value at the specific value of capacitance. With these value of capacitance, DBD reactors which has a high level of efficiency can be formed.

Demand of enhanced bilge separation sensor system has been recently increased due to the severe regulation reinforcement of MEPC(Marine Environment Production Committee). Up to date bilge separation sensor has to be extremely accurate and highly reliable. To design and build such a bilge separator. a precise oily water separation level sensor that distinguishes oil from water is critical. Three dimensional simulations have been carried out to figure out the characteristics of capacitive level sensors, which grounds the finding of the parameters required to design the sensors. The parasitic capacitance problem which is inherent to capacitive level sensors has been taken care of. This paper concludes with the future research direction that can be pursued with the newly defined parameters of the capacitive level sensors.

A voltage regulator can be used to reduce the effect of the power-supply noise on the control voltage of the VCO. An accurate analysis of the voltage regulator circuit is needed for the optimal design of the voltage regulator. This paper clarifies an inaccuracy in a recent paper on the replica-compensated regulator far supply-regulated PLLs: neglect of MOSFET parasitic capacitances. As a consequence, an improved analytical model is derived for the replica-compensated voltage regulator. The derived model is verified through circuit simulation. The voltage regulator has been fabricated in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS technology. The chip area is $1mm^2$.

This paper deals with the analytical approach for the reliability assessment in radially operated distribution systems. The approach can estimate the expected reliability performance of distribution systems by a direct assessment of the configuration of the systems using the reliability indexes such as NDP(Non-Delivery Power) and NDE(Non-Delivery Energy). The indexes can consider the number and configuration of the load. but can not consider the characteristics of the load which is the one of the most important factor in the investment cost for the distribution systems. Therefore, this paper presents the new indexes considering the expected interruption cost for the load section and shows the effectiveness by simulating at the model systems.

In this paper, a distributed amplifier is designed using distributed network synthesis that provides the optimum absorption capability of a capacitance. Transfer functions of filters, which consist of the amplifier, are synthesized by a low-pass Chebyshev approximation. Capacitances that a filter network can absorb are calculated as a function of its minimum insertion loss(MIL) and ripple. Active devices in a distributed amplifier are modeled as equivalent circuits by using their S-parameters, and their equivalent capacitances are absorbed into filter structures by properly adjusting the MIL and ripple of a transfer function. As an application example, a distributed amplifier with the gain of about 12.5dB is designed that operates over the frequency range between 0.1 and 7.5GHz. Experimental results prove that distributed network synthesis, which considers capacitance absorption capability, is useful to the design of distributed amplifiers.

한국과학기술연구원에서는 2007년부터 시작된 중대형가속기구축사업을 통하여 3기의 정전형 가속기를 설치하였다. 1996년에 도입된 2.0 MV Pelletron을 비롯하여 신규 도입된 6 MVTandetron과 400 kV implanter 등 모두 3기의 정전형가속기로 30 keV부터 ~60 MeV까지의 단색 이온빔을 인출, 이용할 수 있는 실험설비의 구축이 완성되었다. 정전형가속기의 주요 활용분야는 femto~atto mole정도의 동위원소를 측정하는 가속기질량분석법(AMS)를 비롯하여 RBS/ERD로 대표되는 이온빔분석법(ion beam analysis, IBA) 그리고 고에너지 이온빔을 이용한 물질 개질분야(ion beam material modification, IBMM)로 크게 분류된다. 이 시설은 당 연구원의 연구 수요 뿐 아니라 국내 연구자의 수요를 아우르는 시설로 계획하고 있다. 여타 실험/분석장비와 달리 가속기시설은본체의 완성 후 활용목적에 맞춰 빔라인의 증설이 필요하며 최근 가장활용성이 큰 가속기질량분석(accelerator mass spectrometry, AMS)의 경우는 활용분야별 시료 전처리 시설과 기술의 개발이 요구된다. 따라서 KIST에서는 향후 수년간 활용 분야별 대표적인 주제를 선정하고 필요한 선행연구를 통하여 KIST 이온빔시설에 대한 연구자들의 접근편의성을 제고하고자한다. 본 발표에서는 지난 6년간의 수행된 가속기 시설의 개요와 함께 장차 수행할 선행연구의 방향과 내용을 소개한다(Figure capture).
