본 논문에서는 4.5-5.5GHz 저잡음 증폭기 (low noise amplifiers, LNAs)를 위한 새로운 구조의 검사용 설계(Design-for-Testability, DfT) 회로를 제안한다. 이러한 검사용 설계회로는 고가의 장비를 사용하지 알고도 저잡음 증폭기의 전압 이득, 잡음 지수, 입력 임피던스, 입력 반사 손실 및 출력 신호대 잡음 전력비를 측정한다. 검사용 설계회로는 $0.18{\mu}m$ SiGe 공정을 이용하여 설계되었으며, 입력 임피던스 정합과 직류 출력 전압 측정을 이용한다. 이러한 회로를 이용한 회로 검사 기술은 검사 방법이 간단하고 검사하는데 드는 비용이 저렴하다.

The crystal structure and ferroelectricity of the $(1-x)BiFeO_3\;(BF)-xPbTiO_3$ (PT) ceramic system with the addition of $DyFeO_3$ (DF) have been investigated for attaining a high temperature piezoelectric material. This study is focused on the relation between crystal structure and ferroelectric property with the addition of DF over the phase boundary in the (1-x)BF-xPT system. Hysteresis curves of polarization-electric field at room temperature have been measured. The X-ray and neutron diffraction data were analyzed by the rietveld refinement method. The addition of 0.1 mole DF into BF-PT system greatly increases the ferroelectric remanant polarization Pr values, e.g. 17 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.6BF-yDF-(0.4-y)PT and 31${\mu}C/cm^2$ in 0.5BF-yDF-(0.5.y)PT, respectively. The improved Pr value has been discussed in relation with crystal structure and electrical property.

Bacterial DNA containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs can stimulate antigen-presenting cells to express co-stimulatory molecules and to produce various cytokines in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we fragmented macromolecular E.coli genomic DNA with DNase I, and analyzed the ability of the resulting DNA fragments to induce the NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and humoral immune response. Furthermore, using computational analysis and luciferase assay for synthetic ODNs based on the sequence of the immunostimulatory DNA fragments (DF-ODNs), an active component of DF-ODNs sequences was investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that DF-ODN is optimal for the NF-${\kappa}B$-responsive promoter activation in the mouse macrophage cell line and the humoral immune response in vivo. In agreement with the activity of the DF-ODNs processed by DNase I, a synthetic ODN based on the DF-ODN sequences is potent at inducing IL-12 mRNA expression in primary dendritic cells. These results suggest that the discovery and characterization of a highly active natural CpG-ODN may be achieved by the analyses of bacterial DNA fragments generated by a nuclease activity.

Advancements in nanotechnology and novel nano materials in the past decade have provided a set of tools that can be used to design and manufacture integrated nano devices, which are capable of performing sensing, computing, data storing and actuation. In this paper, we have proposed cooperative nano communication using Power Switching Relay (PSR) Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) protocol and Time Switching Relay (TSR) WPT protocol over independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels in the Terahertz (THz) Gap frequency band to increase the range of transmission. Outage Probability (OP) performances for the proposed cooperative nano communication networks have been evaluated for the following scenarios: A) A single decode-and-forward (DF) relay for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, B) DF multi-relay network with best relay selection (BRS) for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, and C) DF multi-relay network with multiple DF hops with BRS for PSR protocol and TSR protocol. The results have shown that the transmission distance can be improved significantly by employing DF relays with WPT. They have also shown that by increasing the number of hops in a relay the OP performance is only marginally degraded. The analytical results have been verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

이동 통신 시스템에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 수신신호의 최대 도플러 주파수를 찾는 과정이다. 하지만 실제적인 이동 통신 환경에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 부가된 잡음의 영향으로 많은 왜곡을 가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 최대 도플러 주파수 추정 시 부가 잡음의 영향을 억제하기 위한 결정 궤환 적응형 대역 제한(Decision Feedback Doppler Adaptive Band-Limit : DF-DABL) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 잡음의 2차 통계 특성을 대역 제한 방법을 통하여 신호의 특성과 일치하게 함으로서 부가된 잡음의 영향을 효과적으로 제거한다. 특히 제안된 방법에서는 신호대잡음비 (SNR)와 같은 추가 채널 정보를 필요로 하지 않는다.

Current on-demand ad-hoc routing protocols are not appropriate for wireless mesh networks (WMNs), because flooding-based route discovery is both redundant and expensive in terms of control message overhead. In this paper, we propose an efficient on-demand routing approach with directional flooding (DF), which is suitable for the WMNs with limited mobility. In the route discovery process to reach a gateway, our DF scheme can reduce the number of route request (RREQ) packets broadcast by using a restricted directional flooding technique. Simulation results show that ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) with DF (AODV-DF) can significantly reduce routing overhead by RREQ packets and enhance overall performance compared with the original AODV.

화학레이저는 혼합현상을 이용하는 확산형태의 화학반응을 이용하게 된다. 따라서, 화학레이저 공동 내에서 산화제(F)와 연료(D$_2$)가 기저부에 의해서 분리되어 유입된다. 초음속 연소현상에서 혼합 및 연소특성에 큰 영향을 주는 기저부의 화학레이저 시스템에서의 분포역전현상에 초점을 맞추어 기저부의 크기를 0.4mm, 0.8mm, 1.6mm로 변화시켜가면서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 결과로서 분포역전현상이 두드러지게 기저부의 크기가 커짐에 따라서 넓은 영역에서 발생하게된다.

Cognitive radio has been proposed to mitigate the spectrum scarcity problem by allowing the secondary users to access the under-utilized frequency bands and opportunistically transmit. Spectrum sensing, as a key technology in cognitive radio, is required to reliably detect the presence of primary users to avoid the harmful interference. However, it would be very hard to reliably detect the presence of primary users due to the channel fading, shadowing. In this paper, we proposed a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on conventional DF (decode-and-forward) cooperative diversity protocol. We fist consider the cooperation between two secondary users to illustrate that cooperation among secondary users can obviously increase the detection performance. We then compare the performance of DF based scheme with another conventional AF (amplify-and-forward) protocol based scheme. And it is found that the proposed scheme based on DF has a better detection performance than the one based on AF. After that, we extend the number of cooperative secondary users, and demonstrate that increasing the cooperation number can significantly improve the detection performance.

The operations in the design lifecycle of a nuclear power plant targeted to be decommissioned lead to neutron activation. Operations in the decommissioning process include cutting, decontamination, disposal, and processing. Among these, cutting is done close to the target material, and thus workers are exposed to radiation. As there are only a few studies on pressurizers, there arises the need for further research to assess the radiation exposure dose. This study obtained the specifications of the AP1000 pressurizer of Westinghouse and the distribution of radionuclide inventory of a pressurizer in a pressurised water reactor for evaluation based on literature studies. A cutting scenario was created to develop an optimal method so that the cut pieces fill a radioactive solid waste drum with dimensions 0.571 m × 0.834 m. The estimated exposure dose, estimated using the tool VISIPLAN SW, in terms of the decontamination factor (DF) ranged from DF-0 to DF-100, indicating that DF-90 and DF-100 meet the ICRP recommendation on exposure dose 0.0057 mSv/h. At the end of the study, although flame cutting was considered the most efficient method in terms of cutting speed, laser cutting was the most reasonable one in terms of the financial aspects and secondary waste.
