OFDM technique was adopted as the standard of IEEE 802.1 la and it has been widely used for wireless LAN, European DVB/DAB system, Korean DMB system. In the standard of IEEE 802.11a the data packet is composed of two parts, preamble and data. Preamble is composed of short pilots and long pilots, which are used for synchronization and estimation of frequency offset and channel. We can also compensate phase noise effect in the transceiver by using above pilots. The phase noise is more complicate than frequency offset and seriously affects system performance. In this paper, we newly propose CPE and ICI simultaneous compensation method to compensate phase noise generated by transceiver oscillator and compare with previous studies. As results, phase noise effect can be significantly compensated by CPE cancellation method, PNS algorithm and our proposed CPE and ICI compensation method. Especially, the proposed CPE and ICI compensation method can achieve the best BER performance compared with original OFDM, CPE cancellation method and PNS algorithm.

Calcium ion ($Ca^{2+}$) is thought to play the important role as a second messenger for signal transduction that results in various physiological responses to cope with developmental programs and environmental changes in plant. In plant cells, the central vacuole functions as a major calcium store, which is important for both signal transduction and preventing cytotoxicity. Although there is evidence for the biochemical characterizations of a calmodulin-regulated $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase (ACA11) localized to vacuole membrane, the biological function to ACA11 in plant has not been verified. In this study, we show that the cell death as the hypersensitive response (HR) in mature leaves is induced in transgenic plant of a vacuole ACA-type $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase, ACA11. Evidence that cell death phenotype is the result of ACA11 gene silencing is provided by Western blot assay using membrane fraction proteins extracted from transgenic plant. The 3, 3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining study provides that the cell death is caused by the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mature leaves of transgenic plants.

Production of circulating specific antibodies to the lung fluke (Paragenimus westermani) by its host is well known and used in various kinds of immunodiagnostic methods, However, it has not been well documented which compartments (or structures) of the lung fluke are most responsible for the production of specific antibodies. The present immunohistochemical study was undertaken to demonstrate the antigenicity of each body compartment of p. westermani such as suckers, tegument, spines, vitelline glands, intestine, reproductive organs(male and female), and eggs. Indiret immunoperoxidase(IP) stain technique was applied, using formalin-fked, paraffin- embedded lung tissues of P westermani-infected cats sectioned in 4 Um thickness as the antigen and cat antisera (11~20 weeks of infection) as the primary antibody. Peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-cat IgG was used as the secondary antibody and diaminobensidine(DAB) as the coloring agent. Strong yellow or yellowish brown staining was regarded positive. The primary and secondary antibody dilutions were made at 1 : 500~1 : 2, 000 and 1 : 200~1 : 500 respectively, and IP stain was repeated 10 times for each dilution. A consistent result obtained was that the intestinal epithelial border, intestinal content, vitelline glands, and eggs scattered around the worm capsule showed strong positive staining, while uterine eggs and some parenchymal portions showed weak positive reaction. On the other hand, the suckers, tegument, spines, subtegumental cells, cytoplasm of intestinal epithelial cells, male reproductive organs, and ovary revealed negative staining. The body compartments showing higher antigenicity were, in the decreasing order, the intestinal epithelial border, intestinal content, eggs in the worm capsule, vitelline glands, uterine eggs, and parenchymatous portions. The intestinal epithelial border and luminal contents revealed positive staining even at a few concentration of 1 : 4, 000 primary antibody(secondary ab., 1 : 200) whereas the parenchymatous portion showed positive reaction only at higher concentrations than 1'500 (secondary ab., 1 : 200). The results suggest that the specific antibody responses of the host to p. westermani occur most strongly upon the excretes from the intestinal epithelium of the worm and e99s Produced around the worm capsule,

This study was attempted to investigate the regional distribution and shapes of pancreatic endocrifle cells in the hedgehog, Erinaceus koneanus by the immunocytochemical PAP methods (Nalane, 1968; Stemberger, 1979). The tissue specimen taken from the splenic and duodenal regions of pancreas(proximai, middle and distal portions, respectively) were fixed with Bouin solution and the sections(5$\mu$ m) were followed by simple and double staining with 2 substrates, DAB and 4-CI-1-naphthol. The results were as following: Glucagon(A) cells, 13 $\mu$ m x 9.5 $\mu$ m in size, were found in the islets periphery and among the exocrine parenchyma. A cells were abundant in all the portions of splenic region and distal portion of duodenal region in contrast to a few in the proximal and middle portion of duodenal region. The shapes of the A cells were round, oval and pyramidal types. Insulin(B) cells, 11.6$\mu$m x 9.4$\mu$m in sise, were round or oval in shape and located throughout the islets. B cells were the most numerous cell types in all portions of splenic region and distal protion of duodenal region as compared with the other portions. Somatostatin(D) cells, 12.6$\mu$m x 9.1 $\mu$m in size, were round or oval in shape and found in the islets periphery and scattered in the exocrine parenchyma. These cells were rare in all the portions of splenic and duodenal region. Pancreatic polypeptide(PP) cells of various type, 12.8$\mu$ m x 8.5 $\mu$ m in size, were found in the islets periphery and among the exocrine parenchyma. PP cells were numerous in the proximal and middle portion of duodenal region, but rarely scattered in the other portions.
