순차 회전 배열 안테나에서, 순차 배열 정수(배열소자 수, 회전정수)의 변화에 따른 안테나 이득, 축비 및 교차편파 특성을 각각 비교 분석하였다. 여기서 안테나 기본소자로는 중심주파수 11.85GHz인 좌원편파(LHCP), 프로브급전 트렁케이티드 마이크로스트립 안테나를 사용하였다. M=2, 3, 4, 6, 8인 경우에 대하여 P값을 $1{\sim}M$으로 변화시킨 순차 회전 배열 안테나 총 23개에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 축비 대역폭은 배열소자 수 M에 상관없이 P=2인 경우가 가장 넓으며, 이득은 순차배열 정수(M, P)가 (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (6, 3), (8, 1)일 때 가장 크게 나타나고 있다. 특히 M=P인 경우 모든 안테나 특성이 나빠진다. 따라서 순차 회전 배열 안테나를 설계할 때, 많은 시뮬레이션 데이터들 중에서 최적의 순차배열 정수를 찾아 다음 설계하여야 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 포화지반의 전기적 특성파악을 위한 4전극 전기비저항 프로브(4-Electrode Resistivity Probe: 4ERP)의 개발과 검증이다. 4ERP는 웨너 배열을 적용하여 전극에서 분극작용 없이 전기비저항을 산정할 수 있도록 쐐기형과 평면형으로 제작되었다. 쐐기형은 지반속에 관입하기 위한 용도이며 평면형은 실내실험시 사용되는 셀등에 설치하기 위한 것이다. 크기가 다른 6종류의 글라스비드와 3종류의 모래를 사용하여 압밀시험을 수행한 결과, 간극률이 감소함에 따라 전기비저항이 증가하였으며, Arichie 공식에 사용되는 m값이 입자의 크기보다 형상에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 액상화 수조에서 수행된 실험결과 체적간극률과 유사한 전기비저항 간극률이 산정되었다. 대형 토조에서 수행된 관입실험으로부터 간극률 주상도를 얻을수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제시된 4ERP는 포화 지반의 간극률을 효과적으로 산정할 수 있는 장비가 될 수 있을것으로 판단된다.

Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori eradication rates are decreasing because of increases in clarithromycin resistance. Thus, finding an easy and accurate method of detecting clarithromycin resistance is important. Methods: We evaluated 70 H. pylori isolates from Korean patients. Dual-labeled peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes were designed to detect resistance associated with point mutations in 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene domain V (A2142G, A2143G, and T2182C). Data were analyzed by probe-based fluorescence melting curve analysis based on probe-target dissociation temperatures and compared with Sanger sequencing. Results: Among 70 H. pylori isolates, 0, 16, and 58 isolates contained A2142G, A2143G, and T2182C mutations, respectively. PNA probe-based analysis exhibited 100.0% positive predictive values for A2142G and A2143G and a 98.3% positive predictive value for T2182C. PNA probe-based analysis results correlated with 98.6% of Sanger sequencing results (${\kappa}$-value=0.990; standard error, 0.010). Conclusions: H. pylori clarithromycin resistance can be easily and accurately assessed by dual-labeled PNA probe-based melting curve analysis if probes are used based on the appropriate resistance-related mutations. This method is fast, simple, accurate, and adaptable for clinical samples. It may help clinicians choose a precise eradication regimen.

Cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS) is used in the primary cooling piping system of nuclear power plant for it's relative low cost, corrosion resistance and easy of welding. However, the coarse-grain structure of cast austenitic stainless steel can strongly affect the inspectability of ultrasonic testing. The major problems encountered during inspection are beam skewing, high attenuation and high background noise of CASS component. So far, the best inspection performance involving CASS components have been achieved using low frequency TRL(Transmitter/Receiver side-by-side L wave) angle beam probe. But TRL technique could not detect shallow defect and it contains an uncertainty for sizing capability. Currently, most of researchers are studying to overcome these challenge issue. In this study, low-frequency phased array TRL technique used to detect and sizing the flaws in CF8A cast austenitic stainless steel.As conclusion, we could detect and size not only axial flaw but also circumferential flaw using low frequency phased array technique.

Despite differences in virulence between strains of Toxoplasma gondii, rapid and accurate genotyping methods are lacking. In this study, a method was developed to detect and genotype T. gondii in food and environmental samples using PCR and a novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) melting array. An alignment of genome sequences for T. gondii type I, II, and III obtained from NCBI was generated, and a single nucleotide polymorphism analysis was performed to identify targets for PCR amplification and a PNA melting array. Prior to the PNA melting array, conventional PCR was used to amplify GRA6 of T. gondii. After amplification, the PNA melting array was performed using two different PNA hybridization probes with fluorescent labels (FAM and HEX) and quenchers. Melting curves for each probe were used to determine genotypes and identify mutations. A 214-bp region of the GRA6 gene of T. gondii was successfully amplified by PCR. For all T. gondii strains (type I, II, and III) used to evaluate specificity, the correct genotypes were determined by the PNA melting array. Non-T. gondii strains, including 14 foodborne pathogens and 3 protozoan parasites, such as Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Entamoeba histolytica, showed no signal, suggesting that the assay has a high specificity. Although this is only a proof-of-concept study, the assay is promising for the fast and reliable genotyping of T. gondii from food and environmental samples.

A rapid method for the detection of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) was developed by utilizing nano-gold labeled oligonucleotide probes, silver stain enhancement and the microarray technique. The 5'-end -$NH_2$ modified oligonucleotide probes were immobilized on the surface of the chip base as the capture probe. The detection probe was made of the 3'-end -SH modified oligonucleotide probe and nano-gold colloid. The optimal concentrations of these two probes were determined. To test the detection sensitivity and specificity of this technique, a conservative fragment of the virus RNA was amplified by the RT-PCR/PCR one step amplification. The cDNA was hybridized with the capture probes and the detection probes on microarray. The detection signal was amplified by silver stain enhancement and could be identified by naked eyes. 100 fM of amplicon could be detected out on the microarray. As the results, preparation of nano-gold was improved and faster. Development time also was shortened to 2 min. Thus, considering high efficiency, low cost, good specificity and high sensitivity, this technique is alternative for the detection of HEV.

This paper presents the assessment of input impedance of a sectoral cylindrical cavity-backed slot antenna excited by a probe. This antenna is proposed to be an element of array that can be assembled to be the antenna for UHF TV broadcasting system. The integral equations are derived based on boundary conditions of the proposed structure and are expressed in terms of dyadic Green's functions and unknown currents. The unknown current densities are solved by the Method of Moments and the input impedance is derived subsequently. Numerical results show the variation of input impedance, for the specified dimensions of the antenna, as a function of frequency. This result is validated by measurement and found that the result is sufficiently accurate. The result from this study is useful for the design of a sectoral cylindrical cavity-backed slot antenna excited by a probe.

In this paper, a thermo-piezoelectric mechanism with integrated heaters and piezoelectric sensors has been studied for low power probe-based data storage. Silicon nitride cantilever integrated with silicon heater and piezoelectric sensor has been developed to improve the uniformity of cantilevers. Data bits of 40 nm in diameter were recorded on PMMA film. The sensitivity of the piezoelectric sensor was 0.615 fC/nm after poling the PZT layer. And, the $34\times34$ probe array integrated with CMOS circuits has been successfully developed by simple one-step bonding process. The process can simplify the process step and reduce tip wear using silicon nitride tip.
