This paper presented the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for micro plate heat exchanger with straight channel. The metal sheets for straight channel are manufactured by chemical etching and fabricated micro plate heat exchangers by using the vacuum brazing of bonding technology. The performance experiments are performed within the Reynolds numbers range of 15$\sim$250 under the same flow rate conditions for hot and cold sides. The inlet temperature of hot and cold water are conducted in the range of $30^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Heat transfer rate and pressure drop are evaluated by the Reynolds numbers and mass flow rates as the inlet temperature variations of the hot and cold sides. Correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor are suggested for micro plate heat exchanger with straight channel using the results of performance experiment.

We present a novel pilot-aided channel estimation method for OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Muitiplexing) system using WT(Wavelet transform) and interpolation. Due to excellent AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) cancellation capability of n, pilot channels are estimated quite exactly and then, Dey are used in 2-degree polynomial interpolating the other remaining data symbol channels. The simulation results for Short WATM (Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode) channel show that the degradation in BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance of OFDM system iか this estimator is negligible compared to the case of perfect knowledge of CSI (Channel State Information).

There is a rapidly growing demand for wireless telecommunication. The restricted number of channels is a significant bottleneck for the capacity of mobile communication systems. Consequently, when assigning the channels to the different base stations, it is desirable to reuse the same channel af much as possible. It is then important to avoid any possible interference between different mobile users, while satisfying the given demand. The objective of this thesis is to develop a hybrid heuristic algorithm to find the channel assignment method for allocating the channels in an efficient way, which does not violate the compatibility constraints. We also show several benchmarking channel assignment problems using proposed channel assignment method for validation in this thesis.

Recently, WiBro has been developed to efficiently support real-time broadcasting with wireless system. MBS (Multicast Broadcast Service) based on WiBro has numerous applications such as DMB. Since the current MBS uses only common channel managed by scheduling, it cannot effectively support many users at the same time. This paper proposes a new counting scheme with which the channel mode can be properly switched between common channel and dedicated channel. It thus allows efficient use of limited radio resource in WiBro for the MBS.

The developments of double skin composite (DSC) walls with novel enhanced C-channel connectors (DSCW-EC) were reported. Followed axial compression tests on prototype walls were carried to evaluate structural performances of this novel DSC composite structures. The testing program consists of five specimens and focused on the layout of the novel enhanced C-channel (EC) connectors, which include the web direction of C-channels, steel-faceplate thickness, vertical and horizontal spacing of C-channels. Crushing in concrete core and buckling of steel faceplate were two main observed failed modes from the compression tests. However, elastic or plastic buckling of the steel faceplate varies with designed parameters in different specimens. The influences of those investigated parameters on axial compressive behaviors of DSCW-ECs were analyzed and discussed. Recommendations on the layout of novel EC connectors were then given based on these test results and discussions. This paper also developed analytical models for predictions on ultimate compressive resistance of DSCW-ECs. Validation against the reported test results show that the developed theoretical models predict well the ultimate compressive resistance of DSCW-ECs.

This study proposes a single-channel satellite remote sensing algorithm for retrieving aerosol optical thickness over global ocean using FY-1C/1D data. An efficient lookup table (LUT)method is adopted in this algorithm to generate apparent reflectance in channel 1 and channel 2 of FY-1C/1D over ocean. The algorithm scale the apparent reflectance in cloud-free conditions to aerosol optical thickness using a state-of-art radiative transfer model 6S with input of the relative spectral response of channel 1 and 2 of FY-1C/1D. Monthly mean composite maps of the aerosol optical thickness have been obtained from FY-1C/1D global area coverage data between 2001 and 2003. Aerosol optical thickness maps can show the major aerosol source which are located off the west coast of northern and southern Africa, Arabian Sea and India Ocean. These result is very similar to other satellite sensors such as AVHRR and MODIS in the location area of heavy aerosol optical thickness over global ocean. The algorithm have been used to FY-1D operational performance and it is the first operational aerosol remote sensing product in China.

A CFD analysis was performed to examine the inner channel blockage of dual-cooled fuel which has being developed for the power uprate of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The dual-cooled fuel consists of an annular fuel pellet($UO_2$) and dual claddings as well as internal and external cooling channels. The dual-cooled annular fuel is different from a conventional solid 려el by employing an internal cooling channel for each fuel pellet as well as an external cooling channel. One of the key issues is the hypothetical event of inner channel blockage because the inner channel is an isolated flow channel without the coolant mixing between the neighboring flow channels. The inner channel blockage could cause the Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB) in the inner channel that eventually causes a fuel failure. This paper presents the CFD simulation of the flow through the side holes of the bottom end plug for the complete entrance blockage of the inner channel. Since the amount of coolant supply to the inner channel depends on largely the pressure loss at the side hole, the pressure loss coefficient of the side hole was estimated by the CFD analysis. The CFD prediction of the loss coefficient showed a reasonable agreement with an experimental data for the complete blockage of both the inner channel entrance and the outer channel. The CFD predictions also showed the decrease of the loss coefficient as the outer channel blockage increases.

Aquaperin 4 (AQP4) is the mercurial water channel expressed abundantly in brain, especially the region related with cerebrospinal fluid reabsorption and osmoregulation. The primary structure of AQP4 water channel was elucidated but the molecular mechanism of AQP4 channel regulation is still unknown. To investigate the possible regulation of AQP4 water channel by phosphorylation via various protein kinases, osmotic water permeability of AQP4 expressed in Xenopus oocytes was measured by videomicroscopy technique. Forskolin (10 $\mu$M) did not affect osmotic water permeability of oocytes injected with AQP4 cRNA, excluding the regulation of AQP4 water cnannel by protein kinase A. Osmotic water permeability (P아래첨자) of AQP4-expressed oocytes was ingibited by the pretreatmeat of BAPTA/AM (up to 500$\mu$M), an intracellular Ca윗첨자 chelator, and calmidazolium (100$\mu$M), a specific Ca윗첨자/calmodulin antagonist, in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition of osmotic water permeability (P아래첨자) by the calmidazolium treatment was completely reversed by the addition of calyculin A (0.1$\mu$M), a nonspecific phosphatase inhibitor. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C activator, had biphasic effects on osmotic water permeability in AQP4 cRNA injected oocytes depending on its concentration; 21% increase by 100 nM PMA, 35% decrease by 1$\mu$M PMA. These effects were reversed with 2$\mu$M staurosporine, a nonspecific PKC inhibitor. These results suggest that phosphorylation of AQP4 water channel by Ca윗첨자/calmodulin kinase and protein kinase C might regulate the osmotic water permeability.

In this paper, prcess modeling of germanium condensation has been performed and a germanium PMOSFET having nanowire channel implented by the condensation process has been designed and characterized by device simulations. Based on the previous experimental results, our modeling results demonstrate that the ratio of germanium concentration at the silicon germanium-silicon dioxide interface ($C_S$) to that in the bulk region ($C_B$) which are obtainable during the germanium condensation is approximately 4.03 and the effective diffusion coefficient ($D_{eff}$) of germanium atom is $3.16nm^2/s$. Furthermore, a germanium nanowire-channel PMOSFET having the ultra-thin germanium channel on the silicon core that can be fabricated by the germanium condensation has been designed and characterized. As the result, it is confirmed that the proposed device having the coaxial nanowire consisting of silicon core and germanium channel might have superior performances over the device with either all-silicon or all-germanium channel.

In this study, the lateral overflow discharge coefficients for the curvatures of side weir on meandering channel were analyzed. The side weir installed in accordance with the variation of the radius of curvature of the central angle bends with $180^{\circ}$. FLOW-3D model is applied to calculate the discharge coefficients of the side-weir on meandering and straight channels and the characteristics of the discharge coefficients are analysed. In order to verify the numerical model, the results from the hydraulic experiment conducted by the former research are compared with the results simulated by FLOW-3D in the same conditions. The discharge coefficients are calculated for the ratio between curvature ($R_c$) and channel width (b), and the ratio between over flow discharge of the straight channel ($Q_{wc}$) and the meandering channel ($Q_{wc}$) are compared. As the result, the discharge coefficients depend on the weir depth on upstream, and the radius of curvature, so that the discharge coefficients of side weir on the meandering channel can be estimated by them on the straight channel.
