  • OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)는 여러 단층영상 촬영기법의 하나로써 절개 없이도 생체의 복잡한 내부구조를 고분해능으로 이미징할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 고분해능 OCT 이미지는 사용되는 광원에 의해서 결정되는데 가우시안 형태를 갖는 넓은 파장대역의 광원일수록 높은 분해능이 가능하게 된다. OCT에서 사용되는 광원의 종류는 SLD, EELED, ASE등이 사용되고 있다. 그 중에서 ASE광원은 높은 출력 파워를 갖고 넓은 파장대역을 포함하지만 스펙트럼의 형태가 가우시안이 아닌 단점을 가지고 있다. (중략)

  • 본 연구는 돼지 동결-융해 정자의 배양에 의한 체외수정능력과 glycosidase activity의 관계를 검토하였으며, 또한 돼지난자의 투명대내에서 발견된 당잔기에 대한 정자의 glycosidase 특이성을 확인하기 위하여 $\alpha$-L-fucosidase, $\alpha$-D-mannosidase, $\beta$-D-galactosidase 및 N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucosaminidase ($\beta$-GlcNAc'ase)의 activity를 분석하였다. 그 결과 glycosidase activity는 동결정자의 융해 후 배양하지 않았을 때보다 2시간 배양했을 때 더 높게 나타났다. $\beta$-GlcNAc'ase의 activity는 정자 배양 유무에 관계없이 다른 glycosidase 처리시보다 최소한 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. 또한 첨체반응이 유기된 정자의 비율은 glycosidase ($\alpha$-D-mannosidase; P<0.05)에 의해 영향을 받았으며 정자를 배양하지 않은 경우보다는 배양된 정자에서 높게 나타났다. 그러나 배양시간에 따른 정자의 생존성에 대해 glycosidase의 종류에 따른 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 한편 투명대내 정자의 접착과 침입에 대한 또 다른 실험에서, 서로 다른 glycosidase가 첨가된 배양액내에서 수정된 정자가 배양시간이 길어짐에 따라 정자의 침입율은 낮아졌다($\beta$-GlcNAc'ase; P<0.05). 투명대내의 정자접착 정도는 glycosidase의 첨가시에 무첨가시보다 접착정도가 더 높았으며, 가장 높은 접착율은 $\beta$-GlcNAc'ase첨가시 나타났다. 또한 모든 glycosidase 처리시 2시간 배양한 정자보다는 배양하지 않은 정자에서 투명대에 대한 접착정도가 높게 나타났으며, $\alpha$-D-mannosidase의 처리시 유의적인 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 본 연구의 결과, $\beta$-GlcNAc'ase가 주로 돼지정자의 원형질막내에 존재하는 것으로 추측되며, 배양된 정자에 의한 투명대 접착정도와 침입율이 낮았음에도 불구하고 glycosidase activity가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다

  • The amplifier properties of single distributed feedback dye laser with 106 ps pulse width and 616 nm wavelength were invested using only one XeCl-excimer laser as pump source. For optimized amplification of DFDL, the three-stage amplifiers were arranged with increasing cross-section and accordingly increasing pump energies. The first AmpI, II stages were dye cell of 5 mm, 10 mm and contained a $6{\times}10^{-4}$ [mol/l](solvent : Methanol) of Rhodamine 610. Double-pass amplification in the AmPII was measured to suppress the ASE by using a diffraction grating. The beam intensity of AmpI, II was saturated with a gain of respectively 10 and 48. The last AmpIII was Bethune cell of 30 mm and contained a $3{\times}10^ {-4}$ [mol/l] (solvent : Ethanol) of Rhodamine 610. In the single-pass and double-pass amplification, the output energy was obtained 168.2 $\mu$J and 471$\mu$J respectively.

  • The scalability of optical cross-connect nodes is analyzed based on the limiting factor of transmission performance. The limiting factors considered are ASE noise accumulation and gain saturation in the optical amplifiers, and crosstalk in both wavelength multiplexers/demultiplexers and optical switches. When the wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexers crosstalk is lower than 25dB, Power Penalty is below 1dB for the cascaded transmission of 10 nodes with 4 input/output ports. When 10Gbps signals are transmitted through nodes with 4 and 16 input/output Ports, performance degradation due to switch crosstalk is dominant compared to that due to ASE noise accumulation if the switch crosstalk is larger than 30dB and 45dB, respectively. For the single stage transmission of 10Gbps signal with 21dB fiber link loss, the maximum loss of optical cross-connect nodes must be under 34dB to achieve the BER of $10^{-12}$.

  • We analyze the transmission performance of WDM system based on cascaded optical add/drop multiplexers. The considered factors degrading the performance in this paper include the intra-channel corosstalk caused from space switches and demultiplexers/multiplexers, the amplified spontaneous emission noise, and the extinction ratio. To ensure the power penalty within 1dB, the extinction ration more than 13dB, the switch corosstalk less than 39dB, and the demultiplexer/multiplexer crosstalk less than 20dB are required. Under the assumption of switch corosstalk less than 30dB, performance degradation due to the ASE noise is dominant compared to the crosstalk. With the fixed decision threshold in an optical receiver, the maximum number of cascaded nodes reduces to a half compared to the case of the optimum decision threshold.

  • This paper presents a simple but novel gain deviation detector scheme which can be used for general gain-clamping systems. By using the difference of ASEJprobe powers extracted from the edges of gain-flattened bandwidth, gain deviation of EDFA can be exactly detected regardless of the operating condition of a constructed EDFA. To prove the vahd1ty of the suggested scheme, we Implemented gain clamping systems on a single EDFA and cascaded EDFA's link and achieved sufficient gam-clamping performance without the elaborate measurement for tlIe determination of control parameters. eters.

  • This study examined the immunomodulatory activities of apple seed extracts (ASE). The immunomodulatory effects were estimated through nitric oxide production, cytokine induction, protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the phosphylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and inhibitory kappa $B{\alpha}$ ($I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$) in the RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. In the cytotoxicity asay, ASE (31 to $250{\mu}g/mL$) did not induce cytotoxicity; thus, the optimal concentration of ASE was confirmed to be less than $250{\mu}g/mL$. Nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ and interleukin (IL)-6) production significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, the protein expression of iNOS and the phosphorylation of MAPKs and $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ were also increased by ASE treatment. Overall, our results suggest that extracts from apple seeds potentially have immunomodulatory activities on macrophages.

  • The increasing interest in the use of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems in Korea enables to enforce speed violation by National Police Agency. We have analyzed the mechanism of ASE systems on traffic safety throughout Korea. 1 The data collected on a 2km road-section of each 32 ASE stations during one rear period indicate significant safety improvement. The results were (a) a decrease in the total number of accidents of 28%, (b) a decrease in the number of fatalities of 60%. 2. The study also that ASE systems are effective to reduce average speed, speed variance, and short headway. 3. Based on the operational data collected at 15 locations, an aggregate safety prediction model is proposed as a multiple regressions form. The primary operational variables that appear to affect the frequencies of accident are : average speed, speed variance, and the number of vehicles exceeding 30km/h of posted speed limit.

  • In this study, the purpose of this study was to quantitatively grasp the specific correlation between the raw material and the occurrence of leakage by analyzing the characteristics of leakage by adjusting the type and content of the raw material constituting the asphalt mastic coating waterproofing material. To this end, two raw materials, CA (calcium carbonate) and ASE (anti-sedimentation), which are organic and mineral extender for asphalt mastic waterproofing membrane coating, were selected. viscosity and oil leakage stability (20 ℃, 40 ℃) was evaluated. As a result of the evaluation, the oil leakage stability and viscosity were inversely proportional to the CA average particle size, and it was quantitatively proven that a correlation in proportion to the ASE content was established. The results of this study are expected to be used as core data for basic mixing design in the future mixing studies to improve leakage of asphalt mastic waterproofing membrane coating.
