Experimentally, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is induced by Naegleria fowleri in mouse and development of PAM may be inauenced by the strain, weight and sex of mouse, and inoculum size of N. fowleri trophozoite. In this paper, the effect of these factors on PAM development of mouse was studied. N. fowleri trophozoites, strain 0359, were introduced into mouse intranasally under secobarbital anesthesia (0.05mg/g). 1. PAM was developed more frequently in BALB/C mouse than ICR mouse. 2. The survival time of mouse with PAM was influenced by the weight, that is, it was shorter in 15 g mouse than in the heavier groups. 3. No difEerence was observed on PAM development according to sect. 4. In case of inoculated amoeba, PAM incidence of $0.5{\times}10^4$ was markedly decreased.

We studied the effects of Ge preamorphization (PAM) on 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ Ti-salicide junctions using comparative study with As PAM. For each PAM schemes, ion implantations are performed at a dose of 2E14 ion/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and at 20keV energy using $^{75}$ /As+and GeF4 ion sources. Ge PAM showed better sheet resistance and within- wafer uniformity than those of As PAM at 0.257m line width of n +/p-well junctions. This attributes to enhanced C54-silicidation reaction and strong (040) preferred orientation of the C54-silicide due to minimized As presence at n+ junctions. At p+ junctions, comparable performance was obtained in Rs reduction at fine lines from both As and Ge PAM schemes. Junction leakage current (JLC) revels are below ~1E-14 A/$\mu\textrm{m}^{2}$ at area patterns for all process conditions, whereas no degradation in JLC is shown under Ge PAM condition even at edge- intensive patterns. Smooth $TiSi_2$ interface is observed by cross- section TEM (X- TEM), which supports minimized silicide agglomeration due to Ge PAM and low level of JLC. Both junction break- down voltage (JBV) and contact resistances are satisfactory at all process conditions.

호우기간 동안 내리는 빗방울의 타격에 의해 흙 입자는 침출수와 함께 이동하여 지표 아래 공극을 막는다. 다져진 지표면은 유출과 토양 유실의 원인이 된다. 발생원으로부터 유실되는 토양을 Polyacrylamide(PAM)과 지표피복재를 이용하여 저감하는 연구를 하였다. PAM은 토양 입자의 결합력을 강화시키고 이탈을 방지하여 토양 유실을 감소시키는데 효과적이다. 이 연구의 목적은 PAM을 덧붙인 볏짚거적, 볏짚거적+톱밥, 볏짚거적+왕겨 등을 이용하여 인공강우 동안 토양 유실을 저감하는 효과를 조사하는 것이다. 실험은 1시간 동안 강우를 모의했으며, 실험 도중에 6~7회 수질 샘플을 채취하였다. 초기유출시간은 총 4차 실험중에 2차를 제외한 나머지에서 볏짚거적+왕겨+PAM이 가장 느리게 유출되었다. SS와 탁도 항목에서 1차 실험을 제외한 나머지 실험에서 볏짚거적+톱밥+PAM이 효과적이었다. 단순히 PAM을 사용하는 것보다 잔여물(residue)을 같이 혼합한 피복재료가 토양 유실과 유출을 저감하는데 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 농촌지역에 토양 유실저감에 필요한 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

This thesis is regarding of fabricating wibro PAM. First of all, we need to set specification based on link budget for wibro communication circumstance in order to develop PAM, then we decided specification concerning of wibro PAM by considering TTAS_Ko_06_0082R1 which is standarded in Korea, and IEEE Std. 802. 16d/e which is international standard. We selected the Doherty structure to increase efficiency, and pre-distorter structure to increase linearity. The fabricated PAM has not only a result of $26.5dB{\pm}1.0dB$ gain characteristics and maximum of -14 dB return loss characteristics in full frequency bands and full output ranges, but also a result of 37 dBc at 4 tone IMD characteristics which is improved result of 843 and a result of 31 dBc spurious characteristics which is improved result of 5 dB at 4.77 MHz offset point in status of having 27 % efficiency in the 26 dBm high power amplifier output signal. We confirmed the suggested structure is better than others by comparing with normal structure, balanced structure and Doherty structure without predistorter.

The design of a 3.2 Gb/s serial link receiver in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process is presented. The major factors limiting the performance of high-speed links are transmission channel bandwidth, timing uncertainty. The design uses a multi-level signaling(4-PAM) to overcome these problems. Moreover, to increase data bit-rate and lower BER, we designed this circuit by using a current mode amplifier, Current-mode Logic(CML) sampling latches. The 4-PAM receiver achieves 3.2 Gb/s and BER is less than $1.0\;{\times}\;10^{-12}$. The $0.5\;{\times}\;0.6\;mm^2$ chip consumes 49 mA at 3.2 Gb/s from a 1.8-V supply.

Cellular network을 이용하는 휴대 단말기의 경우 TDMA(GSM, IS-136), CDMA(IS-95) 그리고 WCD-MA 등을 포함해서 년간 약 4억대 정도 생산되고 있고, PAM(Power Amplifier Module)은 단말기 한 대당 1~2개 정도 사용되며, 단말기의 battery 사용시간과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 또한 antenna front-end에 장착되기 때문에, 신호의 왜곡에 의한 인접채널 누설 전력과 harmonic 등 전기적인 규격의 적합성과 ESD, 습기 등 품질 신뢰성 문제에 직접적인 영향을 주는 중요한 부품 중의 하나이다. 이로 인하여 PAM의 핵심 기능을 담당하는 PA IC의 공정 기술과 설계 기술, PAM제조 기술 등의 향상에 대한 많은 연구와 개발이 이루어졌다. 본 고에서는 PAM의 최근 기술 동향과 기능적으로 PAM이 주변 수동 및 능동 부품과 집적화 되고 있는 복합 모듈의 동향에 대해서 기술한다.

In this paper, analytical methods for calculating the average probability of bit error of direct sequence pulse amplitude modulation ultra wideband (DS-PAM UWB) system and time hopping pulse position modulation ultra wideband (TH-PPM UWB) system are given. For the multi-user DS-PAM UWB system, the bipolar pulse amplitude modulation is used in order to achieve better performance. As we know, more attention is paid to the TH-PPM UWB systems recently. In this paper. we first introduce the accurate BER calculation methods of the multi-user DS-PAM UWB and TH-PPM UWB systems and then give the performance analysis over the ideal AWGN channel and a correlation receiver. Furthermore, we also introduce their applications in image transmission and data transmission and give the simulation results. The analytical method yields simple and exact formulas relating the performance to the system parameters.

Blends of poly (acrylic acid-co-maleic acid)(PAM) with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) were obtained by solution blending. The blends were solvent-on to a film to examine thermo-mechanical properties and gas permeability. The transition temperatures $(T_g\;and\;T_m)$ of the blends remained constant regardless of PAM contents. However, the values of enthalpy changes corresponding to melting transition $({\Delta}H_m)$ and initial degradation temperature $({T_D}^i)$ were decreased with increasing PAM content. The values of ultimate strength and initial modulus gave the maximum value at the 12 wt% PAM then decreased with further increase of PAM content up to 15 wt%. To measure the gas permeability of the PVA/PAM blend films, the PVA blend solutions were coated onto both biaxially oriented propylene (BOPP) and poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) films. The oxygen transmission rate $(O_2\;TR)$ permeability values mono- tonically decreased with increasing PAM content. However, moisture vapor transmission rate was not affected by PAM content.

This study conducted a series of field experiments using soil conditioners, Polyacrylamide(PAM) and gypsum, to evaluate their effects in reducing sediment loss and surface runoff. In addition, the correction factors (K-alpha) for the erodibility factor (K) were determined to reflect the effects of PAM and PAM+gypsum in applying the USLE equation. Experimental erosion plots individually sized $10m^2$ (5 m long, 2 m wide and 1 m deep) have different slopes (10, 20 and 30%). Erosion plots were prepared for one control (C; no PAM and gypsum) and two treatments (P; PAM 20 kg/ha, PG; PAM 20 kg/ha+gypsum 3,000 kg/ha). The amounts of soil eroded and runoff were continuously monitored from July $1^{st}$ to Oct. $31^{st}$ in 2010 and compared to each other. The amount of sediment loss from a control plot was 399.2 ton/ha and the relative reduction of sediment loss were 11.4% and 33.4% for PAM-treated and PAM+gypsum treated plots, respectively. This study also determined the K-alpha factors in the USLE equation to account for the erosion control effectiveness of PAM and gypsum application. The K-alpha factors were calculated as 0.92 for PAM-treated plot and 0.69 for PAM+gypsum-treated plot. The findings of this study revealed that soil conditioners (PAM and gypsum) could play a significant role in controlling soil erosion. In addition, the modified USLE equation using the K-alpha could provide valuable information to make better decision on establishment of best management practice for soil erosion control in agriculture.

This paper proposes a 3-user non-interfering binary pulse amplitude modulation(2PAM) and non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) scheme, to improve the bit-error rate(BER) performance of the weakest channel user with the tolerable BER loss of the stronger channel users. First, we design the 3-user non-interfering 2PAM NOMA, and then derive the closed-form expressions for the BERs of the proposed scheme. Numerical results are also presented to demonstrate that the BER of the weakest channel user improves greatly, with the small BER losses of the stronger channel users. As a result, the non-interfering 2PAM could be considered in NOMA of 5G systems.
