A new method for the estimation of pitch-frequency contour of voiced speech is presented. The method is based on the double application of Kaiser's energy operator［1］, which has the capabilities of extracting amplitude and frequency of a sinusoidal waveform. According to the modulation model, a vowel can be represented by a combination of damped sinusoids representing formants, modulated by pitch pulses. Therefore, the amplitude envelope of each of the components will give a pitch-like waveform and the pitch can be obtained by averaging the frequencies of this waveform. The first part is the same as Gopalan's approach［9］, but by substituting the LPC based spectral analysis with the second application of energy operator, the algorithm becomes very simple and can be processed on-line. Although the estimation is rather coarse, the suggested algorithm can be useful for getting a general sketch of pitch contour on-line.

Organic dye-doped silica nanoparticles are used as a promising nanomaterials for bio-labeling, bio-imaging and bio-sensing. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles(NPs) have been synthesized by the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. In this study, dye-free fluorescent silica NPs of various sized were synthesized by Sol-Gel process as the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. The functional material of APTES((3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane) was added as an additive during the Sol-Gel process. The as-synthesized silica NPs were calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The surface morphology and particle size of the as-synthesized silica NPs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The fluorescent characteristics of the as-synthesized silica NPs was confirmed by UV lamp irradiation of 365 nm wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) of the as-synthesized silica NPs with different size was analyzed by fluorometry. As the results, the as-synthesized silica NPs exhibits same blue fluorescent characteristics for different NPs size. Especially, as increased of the silica NPs size, the intensity of PL was decreased. The blue fluorescence of dye-free silica NPs was attributed to linkage of $NH_2$ groups of the APTES layer and oxygen-related defects in the silica matrix skeleton.

In this paper, the identification of connections for a vibration system has been presented using FRF-based substructural sensitivity analysis. The substructural design sensitivity formula is derived and plugged into a commercial optimization program, MATLAB, to identify connection stiffness of an air-conditioner system of passenger car. The air-conditioner system, composed of a compressor and a bracket is analyzed by using FRF-based substructural(FBS) method. To obtain the FRFs, FE model is built for the bracket, and the impact hammer test is performed for the compressor. Obtained FRFs are combined to calculate the reaction force at the connection point and the system response. Connection element properties are determined by minimizing the difference between a target FRF and calculated one. It is shown that the proposed identification method is effective even for a real problem.

The electrochemical impedance spectra of polyaniline film prepared by cyclic voltammetry have been investigated in 0.1 M aqueous sulfuric acid solution. Charge transfer resistances were rather low at the oxidized states in agreement with the conductive behavior reported at these potentials. The corresponding exchange current densities were very high. Large values of capacitance associated with the polymer have been found which vary as a function of the electrode potentials. An equivalent electrical circuit has been deduced from the impedance data. It was therefore possible to obtain the parameters of the ionic mass transport within the film.

근세포 융합에 있어서 당단백질의 역할을 세포내 glycosylation의 저해제인 tunicamycin을 이용하여 검토하였다. 근세포가 읖합하기 전 여러 시기에 tunicamycin을 0.04091m숙 농도로 처리하면 세포내 glycosylation과 근세포 융합은 크게 감소되지만, 단백질 합성률과 creatine kinase 활성은 별로 변하지 않는 점으로 미루어 보아 근세포 표면의 당단백질은 세포간의 recognition과 adhesion에 관여하는 것으로 추정할 수있었다. 따라서, 표지된 Con A 염색법을 써서 근세포 원형질막의 당단백질의 변화를 검토해 본 결과 tunicamycin을 처리한 경우 원형질막 당단백질의 대부분이 감소됨을 볼 수 있었으며, 아울러 근세포내 단백질의 분해속도는 증가하고 fibronectin은 감소하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 한편, fibronectin(20 ug/ml) 을 tunicamycin과 같이 처리한 경우에는 융합이 억제되지 않았다. 이상의 결과들은 tunicamycin이 근세포가 adhesion하는데 필요한 세포막표면의 fibronectin의 유용성을 감소시킴으로써 근세포의 융합을 억제할 가능성을 제시하는 것이다.

계배 limb bud 간충직 연골원성 세포로부터 연골세포로의 분화에 미치는 transforming growth factor-f2(TGF-$\beta$2)의 영향을 알아보기 위하여, Hamburger-Hamilton stages 23/24의 간충직 세포들을 미세배양법으로 배양하면서. TGF-$\beta$2의 농도 및 처리시간에 따른 연골세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 그 결과 TGF-$\beta$2는 배양 첫 24시간 동안 1-2 ng/ml의 농도로 처리하였을 때 가장 효과적으로 연골세포의 분화를 촉진하였으며, 또한 TGF-$\beta$2의 처리군에서 배양 3일째에 tsss) sulfate의 glycosaminoglvcan으로의 유입량이 현저히 증가함을 보였다 한편. 배양 48시간내에TGF-$\beta$2를 처리한 경우 분화를 촉진 유도한 반면, 배양 48시간 이후에 처리하였을 때에는 분화 촉진 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 TGF-$\beta$2는 연골원 세포의 분화 초기단계에 세포외기질의 합성을 촉진시켜 세포응축을 유발하고. 세포-세포 및 세포-세포외기질의 상호작용을 증대시킴으로써 연골세포로의 분화를 촉진시킬 것으로 추정되었다.

$TiO_2$ powders were prepared via hydrolysis of titanium n-butoxide in n-butanol and hydrolysis mechanism of titanium n-butoxide was studied using UV-Vis spectrometer. Hydrolysis reactions were controlled to proceed to pseudo-first order reaction in the presence of excess water. The phases of $TiO_2$ powders, prepared under the these conditions, were identified by XRD and reaction rates were calculated by Gugggenheim method. Prepared powders were noncrystalline states in their initial stage of formation but transformed to crystalline rutile structure by heating. Reaction mechanism of titanium n-butoxide was proposed as Interchange-Associative(Ia) mechanism, based on the data of n-value and termodynamic parameters which were determined from the rate constants.

On September 28, 2020, the Korea Fair Trade Commission introduced a proposed bill entitled the "Fair Online Platform Intermediary Transactions Act." We quantify the impact of this proposed act on Naver, Korea's major digital platform. Finding a proper control unit is not an easy task in social science studies. We overcome this caveat by constructing a synthetic version of Naver using Abadie & Gardeazabal's (2003) synthetic control method. It appears that the economic cost of the proposed act is not negligible at all. Naver's opportunity loss amounted to 16.18% of its market capitalization (approximately 8.5 trillion won in comparison with its pre-regulation market capitalization). Any regulation-based approaches to resolving digital platform issues have both promises and pitfalls. The results highlight that regulatory bodies should carefully gauge the impact of such regulations, as we have seen with Naver's case.

Generally, in a steel-concrete composite gilder, the shear connector which was constructed between concrete deck and steel girder should have enough stiffness to behave as one body, because the conformity between plate and concrete deck is influences by the stiffness and spacing of the shear connectors. If the stiffness of shear connectors are insufficient, slip would happen at the contact surface. Partial interaction is the case that takes account of slips. In this paper, an easy method is presented to evaluate the stiffness or spacing of the shear connector according to the degree of imperfection without difficult calculations for a composite gilder with partial interaction. Also, the horizontal shearing force applied to the shear connector and the longitudinal axial force, which is occurs at contact surface between concrete deck and steel girder, have been presented in a simple influence line that is various to the parameters of sectional properties, degree of imperfection and applied load points. Furthermore, through the case study, it determined the relationships between the degree of imperfection and the follows 1) spring constants 2) axial force and horizontal shearing force 3) stress and neutral axis by using the partial differential equation based on Newmark's Partial Interaction Theory.
