본 논문에서는 휨 항복 메커니즘을 기반으로 한 강재이력 댐퍼를 제안하기 위한 해석 및 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 댐퍼는 휨모멘트에 의한 항복거동을 하도록 설계된 일련의 댐핑 플레이트로 구성된다. 실험 결과와 유한요소해석 결과의 비교를 통해서 본 연구에서 채택된 해석적 접근방식이 댐핑 플레이트의 형태 및 상세에 대한 민감도 연구를 수행하기에 적절함을 확인하였다. 최초에 제안된 댐퍼는 휨 항복 메커니즘을 기반으로 작동하는 것으로 고안되었으나, 댐핑 플레이트의 인장 거동에 대한 기여도가 상당할 수 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 댐핑 플레이트의 두께가 증가함에 따라 휨 항복에 의한 에너지 흡수량이 증가한다. 댐핑 플레이트의 두께가 감소함에 따라 인장에 의한 댐퍼의 비선형 거동 기여도가 증가하고 좌굴 발생으로 인하여 이력곡선의 형상이 댐퍼로서 불리해진다.

전력용 케이블은 전선로의 지중화 추세에 따라 사용이 증가하고 있다. 케이블 절연체의 경우 장기간의 전압인가에 의해 열화 및 절연파괴 된다. 전력용 케이블의 절연파괴시 발생하는 사회/경제적 문제는 매우 심각한 것으로 알려져 있다. 절연체의 열화에 영향을 주는 요인은 매우 복잡하지만 그중에서도 전기트리 열화에 의한 파괴는 비교적 두꺼운 고체 유전체인 경우에 절연파괴 사고의 주된 원인이 되고 있다. 전기트리의 개시나 진전시 부분방전이 발생하므로 부분방전의 검출에 의해 전기트리의 발생 및 진전 양상을 관측할 수 있고 부분방전의 해석에 의해 절연재료의 잔여 수명을 예측할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고전압 전력용 케이블 절연재로써 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 시편에서의 전기트리 진전 양상을 비파괴 진단 기법에 의하여 검출하고자 내부 부분방전을 관측/해석하였다.

One of the objectives to prevent building pounding between two adjacentstructures is to considerseparation distance or decrease relative displacement during seismic excitation. Although the majority of building codes around the world have basically suggested some equations or approximately recommended various distances between structuresto avoid pounding hazard, but a lot of reportsin zone of pounding have obviously shown thatsafety situation or economic consideration are not always provided due to the collisions between buildings and the cost of land, respectively. For this purpose, a dynamic MDOF model by having base isolation system is numerically considered and using various earthquake records, relative displacements are mathematically investigated. Different equations to determine the value of damping ratio are collected and the results of evaluations are listed for comparison among them to present a new equation for determination of impact damping ratio. Presented equation is depends significantly on impact velocity before and after impact based on artificial neural network, which the accuracy of them is investigated and also confirmed. In order to select the optimum equation, hysteresisloop of impact between base of building and rubber bumper is considered and compared with the hysteresis loop of each impact, calculated by different equations. Finally, using representative equation, the effect of thickness, number and stiffness of rubber bumpers are numerically investigated. The results of analysis indicate that stiffness and number of bumpers have significantly affected in zone of impact force while the thickness of bumpers have not shown significant influence to calculate impact force during earthquake. For instance, increasing the number of bumpers, gap size between structures and also the value of stiffness is caused to decrease impact force between models. The final evaluation demonstrates that bumpers are able to decrease peak lateral displacement of top story during impact.

Y chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) markers have been developed continuously to complement forensic DNA analyses and population genetic studies. Initially, we collected data from previously reported Korean population Y-STR haplotype studies on 1133 individuals. We then conducted a marker expansion analysis using a dataset from the Y-STR Haplotype Reference Database (YHRD), covering up to 29 Y-STRs, referred to as Ymax. Additionally, we examined the impact of rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs included in this expanded marker set on the discrimination capacity. We observed that marker expansions both with (0.9896), and without (0.9510), RM Y-STR improved the discrimination capacity. Subsequently, we focused on 16 individuals belonging to seven distinct groups sharing identical haplotypes. These particular haplotypes had been previously identified among 476 unrelated males using 23 Y-STR markers from the PowerPlex^® Y23 System. We expanded the marker panel up to Ymax to explore how discrimination improved with an expansion of Y-STR markers for these 16 individuals. Among the expanded markers, DYS627, which had high discriminatory power, had a high mutation rate (1.10 × 10^-2) and high gene diversity (0.83). In contrast, DYF387S1 displayed high gene diversity (0.95) but a relatively low mutation rate (2.80 × 10^-3). We propose that these findings will be valuable in the selection of suitable Y-STR markers, depending on the objectives of forensic analyses. Additionally, the presence of frequently observed Y-haplotypes in Korean population will facilitate statistical interpretation in Y-STR DNA profiling.

The cytokine IL-7 plays critical and nonredundant roles in T cell immunity so that the abundance and availability of IL-7 act as key regulatory mechanisms in T cell immunity. Importantly, IL-7 is not produced by T cells themselves but primarily by non-lymphoid lineage stromal cells and epithelial cells that are limited in their numbers. Thus, T cells depend on cell extrinsic IL-7, and the amount of in vivo IL-7 is considered a major factor in maximizing and maintaining the number of T cells in peripheral tissues. Moreover, IL-7 provides metabolic cues and promotes the survival of both naïve and memory T cells. Thus, IL-7 is also essential for the functional fitness of T cells. In this regard, there has been an extensive effort trying to increase the protein abundance of IL-7 in vivo, with the aim to augment T cell immunity and harness T cell functions in anti-tumor responses. Such approaches started under experimental animal models, but they recently culminated into clinical studies, with striking effects in re-establishing T cell immunity in immunocompromised patients, as well as boosting anti-tumor effects. Depending on the design, glycosylation, and the structure of recombinantly engineered IL-7 proteins and their mimetics, recombinant IL-7 molecules have shown dramatic differences in their stability, efficacy, cellular effects, and overall immune functions. The current review is aimed to summarize the past and present efforts in the field that led to clinical trials, and to highlight the therapeutical significance of IL-7 biology as a master regulator of T cell immunity.

Background: The facial artery is an important blood vessel responsible for supplying the anterior face. Understanding the branching patterns of the facial artery plays a crucial role in various medical specialties such as plastic surgery, dermatology, and oncology. This knowledge contributes to improving the success rate of facial reconstruction and aesthetic procedures. However, debate continues regarding the classification of facial artery branching patterns in the existing literature. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive anatomical study, in which we dissected 102 facial arteries from 52 embalmed and formaldehyde-fixed Vietnamese cadavers at the Anatomy Department, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Results: Our investigation revealed eight distinct termination points and identified 35 combinations of branching patterns, including seven arterial branching patterns. These termination points included the inferior labial artery, superior labial artery, inferior alar artery, lateral nasal artery, angular artery typical, angular artery running along the lower border of the orbicularis oculi muscle, forehead branch, duplex, and short course (hypoplastic). Notably, the branching patterns of the facial artery displayed marked asymmetry between the left and right sides within the same cadaver. Conclusion: The considerable variation observed in the branching pattern and termination points of the facial artery makes it challenging to establish a definitive classification system for this vessel. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an anatomical map summarizing the major measurements and geometric features of the facial artery. Surgeons and medical professionals involved in facial surgery and procedures must consider the detailed anatomy and relative positioning of the facial artery to minimize the risk of unexpected complications.

디지털 멀티미디어 방송(DMB)은 대용량의 멀티미디어 정보를 무선환경의 이동체에 전송하기 위해 제안된 방식이다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해 DM시스템은 COFDM 변조방식을 사용하여 다중 경로 페이딩 현상을 극복하고, 동시에 강력한 채널오류 정정 능력을 필요로 한다. DMB 수신기를 위한 비터비 디코더(구속장 7, code rate 1/4)는 가변 부호화된 데이터의 복호화를 수행해야 하고, 방송시스템이므로 실시간으로 동작하기 위해서 효율적인 구조를 가져야 한다. 따라서 DMB 시스템을 위한 비터비 디코더를 구현하기 위해서는 복호화 과정을 고속으로 수행할 수 있는 별도의 전용 하드웨어 모듈을 설계하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 많은 연산량을 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 결합된 Add-Compare-Select(ACS)와 Path Metric Normalization(PMN)구조를 새롭게 제안하고자 한다. PMN구조에서의 단점인 comparison tree에 의한 임계 경로(critical path)의 문제를 고정치(fixed value)에 의한 선택 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 고속 동작이 가능하게 하였고, ACS구조에서는 분할 기법(decomposition method)과 선계산(pre-computation)을 이용하여 덧셈기, 비교기, 표준화기의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 펑처드 비터비 디코더는 일반적인 구조를 적용했을 때 보다 면적 $3.78\%$, 전력소모 $12.22\%$, 최대 게이트 지연 $23.80\%$의 감소율을 보였다.
