A new dual-mode algorithm for blind equalization of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals is proposed. To solve the problem that the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) converges to the constellation with the arbitrary phase rotation, with the modification of the CMA, the proposed algorithm accomplishes blind equalization and carrier phase recovery simultaneously. In addition, the dual-mode algorithm combining the modified constant modulus algorithm (MCMA) with decision-directed (DD) algorithm achieves the performance enhancement of blind convergence speed and steady-state residual ISI. So we can refer the proposed algorithm to as a scheme for joint blind equalization and carrier phase recovery. Simulation results for i.i.d. input signals confirm that the dual-mode algorithm results in faster convergence speed, samller residual ISI, and better carrier phase recovery than those of the CMA and DD algorithm without any significant increase in computational complexity.

The demand of LNG as a cheap and clean energy which does not cause an environmental problem has sharply been increased in Korea. In general LNG is stored in a cargo tank specially designed as a liquid state below $-162^{\circ}C$. The main engine of a LNG carrier is generally a steam boiler because LNG is a highly flammable fluid with the possibility of explosion. The main engine of a cargo ship has to be capable of the propulsion load and various auxiliary loads for the safe navigation since it is the primary energy source. Therefore the evaluation of a main boiler's energy capacity is a key design point in the planning of LNG carrier's construction. This research is to develop the computational program for the analysis of steam boiler Heat balance for LNG carrier.

We studied the dependence of hot-tarrier-induced degradation characteristics on nitrogen concentration in NO(Nitrided-Oxide) gate of nMOS, under ac and dc stresses. The $\Delta$V$_{t}$ and $\Delta$G$_{m}$ dependence of nitrogen concentration were observed, We observed that device degradation was suppressed significantly when the nitrogen concentration in the gate was increased. Compared to $N_2$O oxynitride, NO oxynitride gate devices show a smaller sensitivity to ac stress frequency. Results suggest that the improved at-hot carrier immunity of the device with NO gate may be due to the significantly suppressed interface state generation and neutral trap generation during stress.ess.

This research approached electrical characteristics of organic light emitting diodes getting into the spotlight by next generation display device. Basic mechanism of OLED's emitting is known as that electron by cathode of lower work function and hole by anode of higher work function are driven and recombine exciton-state being flowed in emitting material layer passing carrier transport layer In order to make many electron-hole pairs, we must manufacture device in multi-layer structure. There are Carrier Injection Layer(CIL), Carrier Transport Layer(CTL) and Emitting Material Layer(EML) in multi-layer structure. It is important that regulate thickness of layer for high luminescence efficiency and set mobility of hole and electron.

The present study was conducted in order to elucidate the asymptomatic carrier state of dermatophytes on the laboratory rodents in Korea during the period from August 1986 to April 1987. A total of 988 laboratory rodents, comprising 393 albino rats, 285 albino mice, 238 guinea pigs and 72 hamsters, were randomly selected for the isolation of dermatophytes from 6 research institutes and 2 breeding farms. And the mating experiments were performed to identified the perfect states of Trichophyton mextagrophytes isolated from albino rats. Dermatophytes were recovered from 94 of 393(23.9%) albino rats and from 3 of 5 colonies. Isolation rate of each colony was 38.4%, 32.0% and 9.8%, respectively, and the albino rats over 2 months old(28.2%) were higher than below 2 months old(2.9%) in the isolation rate of dermatophytes. Among 94 strains of dermatophytes isolated from albino rats, all the strains were identified T mentagrophytes, except 1 strain of Microsporum gypseum, and its perfect states were Arthroderma $vanbreuseghemii^+$.

New experiments focusing on the evolution characteristics of nonlinear wave trains were conducted in a large wave flume. A series of wave trains with added sidebands, varying initial steepness, perturbed amplitudes and frequencies, were physically generated in a long wave flume. The experimental results show that the increasing wave steepness, increases the speed of sidebands growth. To study the frequency and phase modulation, the Morlet wavelet transform is adopted to extract the instantaneous frequency of wave trains and the phase functions of each wave component. From the instantaneous frequency, there are local frequency downshifts, even an effective frequency downshift was not observed. The frequency modulation increases with an increase in amplitude modulation, and abrupt changes of instantaneous frequencies occur at the peak modulation. The wrapped phase functions show that in the early stage of the modulation, the phase of the upper sideband first diverges from that of the carrier waves. However, at the later stage, the discrepancy phase from the carrier wave transformed to the lower sideband. The phase deviations appear in the front of the envelope's peaks. Furthermore, the evolution of the instantaneous frequency exhibits an approximate recurrence-type for the experiment with large imposed sidebands, even when the corresponding recurrence is not observed in the Fourier spectrum.

This study investigates an economic and highly efficient power-converter topology and its modulation scheme for 60 kW rapid EV charger system. The target system is a three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier topology. A new carrier-based PWM scheme, which is characterized by simple implementation using logic gates, is introduced in this paper. This PWM scheme replaces the diode rectifier equivalent switching state with an active switching state to produce the same effective current flowing path. As a result, the distortion of input current during the polarity reversal of capacitor line voltage can be mitigated. The proposed modulation technique is confirmed through simulation verification. The proposed modulation technique and its implementation scheme can expand the operation range of the three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier with high-quality AC input and capacitor ripple current.

This study is on the development of the computer program that calculates a 3-D hull temperadistribution and analyzes BOR(Boil off rate) to be important to the heat design of a membrane type LNG carrier. The quarter of a tank is taken as an calculation model. And the thermal conductivity of insulation is assumed to be the function of a temperature. In the present steady state calculation, the temperature of LNG in a cargo tank is assumed to be -$162^{\circ}C$ and the air temperature of a cofferdam, to be +$5^{\circ}C$. The lowest air temperature in compartments is calculated as $21.39^{\circ}C$ under the USCG condition ($T_{air}=-18^{\circ}C,\;T_{sw}=O^{\circ}C)$ and B.O.R value is O.0977%/day under the maximum boil-off condition, IMO IGC ($T_{air}=45^{\circ}C,\;T_{sw}=32^{\circ}C$), which satisfies the requirement by KOGAS. The calculated temperature distribution over tank panels at each condition is maximum 3% less than GTT's results. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the present design of LNG cargo tank satisfies the requirement by KOGAS.

As underwater channel is very complex and time-varying, don't supports good-quality for communication service. In this paper, a multi-carrier CDMA(MC-CDMA) system for the reliability and robust service in the underwater acoustic channel is proposed and analyzed for its performance. Applied variable rate algorithm to the proposed system gets a channel state information from relationship between SINR and user data-rate. Using channel state information make spectrum usage more efficient and overall system performance improved. In this paper, the performance of proposed system analyzed by simulation.

This paper deals with the novel DPWM(discontinuous PWM) for 3-level inverter. Although DPWM methods generate higher harmonics than SVPWM they are of special interest because of their lower switching losses. And in the high modulation region the harmonic characteristics of DPWM is superior to the that of CPWM. However when DPWM applies to the 3-level inverter there is the problem that the output state is varied suddenly in the low modulation region($\textrm{m}_{I}$=0~0.5) The novel DPWM that this problem improves will be introduced.
