본 논문에서 는 WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 기지국용 고출력 비 대칭 도허티 전력 증폭기를 구현하였다. 구현된 도허티 증폭기는 P1 dB로부터 9 dB의 영역에 걸쳐 높은 효율을 가지며, 전체 동적 영역에서 선형적인 특성을 갖는다. 고효율 구간의 확장과 선형적인 동적 영역 특성을 얻기 위해서 주 증폭기의 소자보다 두 배 큰 피킹 소자를 사용했으며, 입력에는 비대칭 전력 분배기를 사용하였다. WCDMA 1FA(Frequency Assignment) 신호를 사용하여 측정한 결과 P1 dB로부터 9 dB 백-오프 지점에서 31 %의 전력 부가 효율과 -35 dBc의 ACLR(Adjacent Channel Leakage Power) 특성을 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 도파관 슬롯 배열 안테나 설계 시 분기 도파관 내에서 결합 슬롯과 복사 슬롯 간의 원하지 않는 고차 모드 결합을 줄일 수 있는 슬롯 커플러용 결합 요소를 제안하였다. 제안된 소자는 수직 교차하는 두 도파관이 공유하는 도파관 광벽에 위치한 중심 종방향 션트-시리즈 결합 슬롯과 이를 여기시키는 비대칭 복합아이리스로 구성된다. 먼저 HFSS를 사용하여 커플러 구조의 산란 계수를 구하고, 결합 슬롯의 T - 회로망 등가 회로의 파라미터를 추출하였다. 또한, 소자의 구조적인 치수를 변화시키면서 공진 길이 및 정규화 어드미턴스와같은 공진 특성을 분석하였다. 결합 슬롯으로부터 ${\lambda}_g/4$ 떨어진 단락 블록을 갖는 커플러를 설계 제작하여 측정한 실험 결과는 모의실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

온실가스 인벤토리 불확도 산정을 위해서는 인벤토리의 신뢰구간 추정이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 모수에 대한 신뢰구간 추정시에는 모집단이 정규분포를 따른다고 가정한다. 그러나 자료의 구조가 복잡해짐에 따라 정규분포가 아닌 비대칭형 자료, 즉 양의 왜도를 갖는 자료의 경우 기존의 정규분포를 가정한 신뢰구간 추정 방식은 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 비대칭형 분포인 지수분포의 신뢰구간추정 방법으로 모수적인 방법과 비모수적인 방법에 대해 각각 비교분석하였다. 모의실험을 통한 신뢰구간 추정 결과를 바탕으로 범위확률, 신뢰구간 길이, 상대적 편의를 비교한 결과 모수적 방법 중에서 예상했던 대로 정확한 방법인 카이제곱방법이 신뢰계수와 유사한 범위확률을 보이고 상대적 편의도 작아 모수적 방법 중에서 신뢰구간 추정에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 마찬가지로 비모수적 방법 중에서는 표준화된 t-붓스트랩 방법이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

The methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase (MTHFDC) from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum is a 30.6kDa molecular-mass enzyme that sequentially catalyzes the conversion of formyltetrahydrofollate to methylenetetrahydrofolate, with a preference for NADP as a cofactor, rather than NAD. In order to elucidate the functional and structural features of MTHFDC from archaeons at a molecular level, it was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized in the presence of its cofactor, NADP, at 295K using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 as a precipitant. The crystal is a member of the monoclinic space group $P2_1$, with the following unit cell parameters: $a=66.333{\AA},\;b=52.868{\AA},\;c=86.099{\AA},\;and\;{\beta}=97.570^{\circ}$, and diffracts to a resolution of at least $2.40{\AA}$ at the synchrotron. Assuming a dimer in the crystallographic asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews parameter $(V_M)\;was\;2.44{\AA}^3/Da$ and the solvent content was 49.7%.

Creatine kinase (CK; E.C. 2.7.3.2) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to creatine in energy homeostasis. The brain-type cytosolic isoform of creatine kinase (BB-CK), which is found mainly in the brain and retina, is a key enzyme in brain energy metabolism, because high-energy phosphates are transfered through the creatine kinase/phosphocreatine shuttle system. The recombinant human BB-CK protein was overexpressed as a soluble form in Escherichia coli and crystallized at $22^{\circ}C$ using PEG 4000 as a precipitant. Native X-ray diffraction data were collected to $2.2{\AA}$ resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space group $P4_32_12$, with cell parameters of a=b=97.963, $c=164.312{\AA},\;and\;{\alpha}={\beta}={\gamma}=90^{\circ}$. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules of CK, giving a crystal volume per protein mass $(V_m)$ of $1.80{\AA}^3\;Da^{-1}$ and a solvent content of 31.6%.

We have examined a technique of one-dimensional (1D) fluid modeling for radio-frequency Ar capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP) between unequal-sized powered and grounded electrodes. In order to simulate a practical CCP reactor configuration with a grounded side wall by the 1D model, it has been assumed that the discharge space has a conic frustum shape; the grounded electrode is larger than the powered one and the discharge space expands with the distance from the powered electrode. In this paper, we focus on how much a 1D model can approximate a 2D model and evaluate their comparisons. The plasma density calculated by the 1D model has been compared with that by a two-dimensional (2D) fluid model, and a qualitative agreement between them has been obtained. In addition, 1D and 2D calculation results for another reactor configuration with equal-sized electrodes have also been presented together for comparison. In the discussion, four CCP models, which are 1D and 2D models with symmetric and asymmetric geometries, are compared with each other and the DC self-bias voltage has been focused on as a characteristic property that reflects the unequal electrode surface areas. Reactor configuration and experimental parameters, which the self-bias depends on, have been investigated to develop the ID modeling for reactor geometry with unequal-sized electrodes.

Two-way relaying is an effective way of improving system spectral efficiency by making use of physical layer network coding. However, energy efficiency in OFDM-based bidirectional relaying with asymmetric traffic requirement has not been investigated. In this study, we focused on subcarrier transmission mode selection, bit loading, and power allocation in a multicarrier single amplified-and-forward relay system. In this scheme, each subcarrier can operate in two transmission modes: one-way relaying and two-way relaying. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. We adopt a structural approximation optimization method that first decouples the original problem into two suboptimal problems with fixed subcarrier subsets and then finds the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets. Although the suboptimal problems are nonconvex, the results obtained for a single-tone system are used to transform them to convex problems. To find the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets, an iterative algorithm based on subcarrier ranking and matching is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve system performance compared with conventional methods. Some interesting insights are also obtained via simulation.

We examine the morphology and luminosity distribution of a strongly warped spiral galaxy PGC 20348 by conducting a detailed BVI CCD surface photometry using BOAO 1.8m telescope. The radial surface brightness shows a break at warp radius $(r_{\omega})$ with a shallow gradient in the inner disk and a steeper gradient in the outer disk. The luminosity of east side of the disk is ${\sim}0.5$ mag fainter than the west side at r > $r_{\omega}$. The reason for the asymmetric luminosity distribution is thought to be the asymmetric flarings that result in the formation of a large diffuse region at the edge of the east disk and a smaller diffuse region at the west disk. The vertical luminosity profiles show a thick disk component whose scale heights increase with increasing galactocentric distances. The warp of PGC 20348 seems to be made by the tidal interactions with the two massive companion galaxies since the flarings and radial increase of disk scale heights are thought to be general properties of tidally perturbed disks. According to the colors of the two clumps inside the diffuse region at the edge of the east disk, they seem to be sites of active star formation triggered by tidal forces from the companion galaxies.

This paper examines how corporate social responsibility is related to the degree of asymmetric information in the Korean financial market. Recent theory argues that there is a negative relationship between a firm's corporate social responsibility and its information asymmetry. To test this hypothesis, we use the environment, social and governance (ESG) score, published by the Korean Corporate Governance Service, to proxy a firm's management practices toward socially responsible activities. In the entire sample of the Korean firms, we find contrasting results; the ESG score shows negative relationships with the price impact measure but statistically insignificant relationships with the dispersion of analyst forecasts. However, the ESG score shows negative relationships with both measures when we exclude chaebol affiliates from the sample. These findings are robust when we examine environmental, social and corporate governance scores separately. This set of results argues for the extant theory, expecting a negative relationship between a firm's engagement in corporate social responsibility and asymmetric information. It further argues for the importance of firm characteristics in determining the influence of socially responsible activities.
