The present work was mainly concerned with studying the operation of RC-phase shift oscillator based on MOSFET type 2N6660 under the influence of different temperature levels ranging from room temperature (25 ℃) up-to135 ℃ and gamma-irradiation up-to 3.5 kGy. In this concern, both the static (I-V) characteristic curves of MOSFET devices and the output signal of the proposed oscillator were recorded under ascending levels of both temperature and gamma-irradiation. From which, it is clearly shown that the drain current was decreased from 0.22 A, measured at 25 ℃, down to 0.163 A, at 135 ℃. On the other hand, its value was increased up-to 0.49 A, whenever the device was exposed to gamma-rays dose of 3.5 kGy. Considering RC-phase shift oscillator, the oscillation frequency and output pk-pk voltage were decreased whenever MOSFET device exposed to gamma radiation by ratio 54.9 and 91%, respectively. While, whenever MOSFET device exposed to temperature the previously mentioned parameters were shown to be decreased by ratio 2.07 and 46.2%.

This study aims at characterizing the rheological properties of uranium oxide powders for nuclear fuel pellets manufacturing. The flowability of these powders must be compatible with a reproducible filling of press molds. The particle size distribution is known to have an impact on the rheological properties and fine particles (<100 ㎛) are suspected to have a detrimental effect. In this study, the impact of the particle size distribution on the rheological properties of UO₂ powders was quantified, focusing on the influence of fine particles. Two complementary approaches were used. The first approach involved characterizing the powder in a static state: density, compressibility and shear test measurements were used to understand the behavior of the powder when it is transitioned from a static to a dynamic state (i.e., incipient flow conditions). The second approach involved characterizing the behavior of the powder in a dynamic state. Two zones, corresponding to two characteristic behaviors, were demonstrated for both types of measurements. The obtained results showed the amount of fines should be kept below 10 % wt to ensure a robust mold filling operation (i.e., constant mass and production rate).

The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is most suitable for practical application and can be determined with knowledge of only the first and second moments of the probability density function. Although the BLUE is an existing algorithm, it is still largely unexplored and has not yet been applied to channel estimation in amplify and forward (AF)-based wireless relay networks (WRNs). In this paper, a BLUE-based algorithm is proposed to estimate the overall channel impulse response between the source and destination of AF strategy-based WRNs. Theoretical mean square error (MSE) performance for the BLUE is derived to show the accuracy of the proposed channel estimation algorithm. In addition, the Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is derived to validate the MSE performance. The proposed BLUE channel estimation algorithm approaches the CRLB as the length of the training sequence and number of relays increases. Further, the BLUE performs better than the linear minimum MSE estimator due to the minimum variance characteristic exhibited by the BLUE, which happens to be a function of signal-to-noise ratio.

Background: The most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pregnancy is preeclampsia. Serum cystatin C (CysC) is a potential biomarker of early kidney damage as its levels are not disturbed by volume status changes in pregnancy, and serum CysC levels could serve as a replacement for conventionally used creatinine. In this study, we investigated the serum levels of CysC in severe preeclampsia cases and the associations between CysC levels and poor obstetric outcomes. Methods: Our cohort included severe preeclampsia patients with a normal serum creatinine level. Creatinine was measured to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on the Cockcroft and Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations, while CysC was measured to calculated eGFR based on a CysC-based equation. We then evaluated the correlations between serum CysC level, eGFR, and obstetric outcomes. Results: Twenty-six patients were evaluated of which 38.5% delivered preterm and 30.8% had low-birth weight babies. Unlike creatinine-based eGFR and CysC-based eGFR, serum CysC demonstrate significant negative correlation with gestational age. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that serum CysC is a potential biomarker of preterm delivery with a cut-off serum level of 1.48 mg/L with 80% sensitivity and 75% specificity. Conclusion: GFR estimation using CysC is likely to be inaccurate in pregnancy. However, we found a significant correlation between preterm delivery and serum CysC level. Our results suggest that serum CysC level has the potential to predict preterm delivery in severe preeclampsia patients.

The fiber reinforced composite material is widely used in the multi-industrial field where the weight reduction of the infrastructure is demanded because of their high specific modulus and specific strength. Pressure vessels using this composite material in comparison with conventional metal vessels can be applied in the field where lightweight and the high pressure is demanded from the defense and aerospace industry to rocket motor case due to the merits which are energy curtailment by the weight reduction and decrease of explosive damage precede to the sudden explosion which is generated by the pressure leakage condition. In this paper, for nonlinear finite element analysis of E-glass/epoxy filament winding composite pressure vessel receiving an internal pressure, the standard interpretation model is developed by using the ANSYS 5.7.1, the general commercial program, which is verified as the accuracy and useful characteristic of the solution based on Auto LISP and ANSYS APDL. Both the preprocessor for doing exclusive analysis of filament winding composite pressure vessel and postprocessor that simplifies result of analysis have been developed to help the design engineers.

본 연구에서는 FT-NMR 분광기를 사용하여 $NaMgCl_3$ 단결정의 구성 원자인 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵에 대한 핵 자기 공명 실험을 하였다. 이로부터 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵이 모결정 내에서 입방정계 대칭성 내에 존재한다는 것을 알았고, 200 K~410 K 온도 범위에서 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵에 대한 스핀-격자 완화 시간 $T_1$을 온도 변화에 따라 계산하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라서 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵의 $T_1$ 값이 점차적으로 감소하였다. 스핀-격자 완화율 $1/T_1$ 이 온도 T에 선형적으로 비례하였고, $^{23}Na$ 원자핵의 스핀-격자 완화 메커니즘을 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵 스핀과 단일 포논이 직접적으로 작용하는 직접과정(direct process)으로 설명하였다. 또한 $^{23}Na$ 원자핵의 활성화 에너지를 계산하여 $E_a=4.82J/mol$를 얻었다.

사슬연장제로 사용되는 디올형 올리고머를 상온주형용의 폴리우레탄(PU) 엘라스토머의 반응 및 물성조절제로 사용하였다. 기본 수지에 대해 one-shot 방식으로 혼합된 디올형 올리고머는 반응속도 지연효과를 나타내었으며 혼합 농도가 증가함에 따라 지수적으로 반응속도가 감소하는 현상을 나타내었다. Kissinger의 열분석에 관한 연구 결과는 본 연구에서의 해석에서 도 ln $(q/T^2_p)$ vs. $(1/T_p)$ 플롯이 직선성을 보이고 계산된 활성화에너지 $E_a$값이 44.80 kJ/mol로서 일반적인 주형용 폴리우레탄 생성반응에서의 활성화에너지와 유사한 값을 보임으로서 매우 유효하게 적용될 수 있었다. 기계적인 성질에 있어서도 약 20 phr 정도에 이르기까지의 조절제 농도에서는 뚜렷한 강도의 저하가 이루어지고 그 이후에는 점차적으로 낮아지는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 조절제가 약 20 phr 이상 혼입되는 경우에는 항복점의 구분이 매우 약화되고 고무탄성체의 특징인 저강도 고신율의 거동을 보이는 특징적인 현상이 관찰되었다. 또한 파단강도의 경우 조절제의 함량이 증가할수록 지수적으로 강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내어 조절제의 혼합 농도조건에 따라 강도변화가 매우 민감함을 보여 주었다.

AAD16034 is an alginate lyase from Pseudoalteromonas sp. IAM14594. A very close homologue with known 3D structure exists (marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain no. 272). A three-dimensional structure of AAD16034 was generated based on this template (PDB code: 1J1T) by comparative modeling. The modeled enzyme exhibited a jelly-roll like structure very similar to its template structure. Both enzymes possess the characteristic alginate sequence YFKhG+Y-Q. Since AAD16034 displays enzymatic activity for poly-M alginate, docking of a tri-mannuronate into the modeled structure was performed. Two separate and adjacent binding sites were found. The ligand was accommodated inside each binding site. By considering both binding sites, a plausible binding pose for the poly-M alginate polymer could be deduced. From the modeled docking pose (i.e., the most important factor that attracts alginate polymer into this lyase) the most likely interaction was electrostatic. In accordance with a previous report, the hydroxyl group of Y345 was positioned close to the ${\alpha}$-hydrogen of ${\beta}$-mannuronate, which was suitable to initiate a ${\beta}$-elimination reaction. K347 was also very near to the carboxylatemoiety of the ligand, which might stabilize the dianion intermediate during the ${\beta}$-elimination reaction. This implies that the characteristic alginate sequence is absolutely crucial for the catalysis. These results may be exploited in the design of novel enzymes with desired properties.

본 연구는 소음전파에 대한 옥외실험과 축적 음향모형실험에 의해서 지표면에 의한 초과감쇠 특징을 밝힌 것으로써, 옥외실험에 의한 소음전파감쇠는 음향출력이 큰 소형엔진을 사용하여, 거리감쇠로부터 산출한 실측의 초과감쇠와 Log(D/(Hs+Hr))의 관계를 확인했다. 그 결과 소음전파감쇠는 풍향, 주파수에 따라 다르며 직선회귀 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 지표면상의 초과감쇠치는 통기저항을 이용해서 Log(D/Hs+Hr))을 파라미터로써 구할 수 있었고, 가장 적당한 통기저항$\sigma$는 실측의 초과감쇠치와 임의의 $\sigma$에 대한 $L=-20Log\mid1+(r_1/r_2)Qexp(ik, \bigtriangleup r)\mid$ 식의 평균자승 오차가 가장 적어질 때 결정된다. 모형의 지표로써 축척 1/40의 모형실험으로, 큰 무향실내에서 거리감쇠의 측정을 한 결과, 실측치와의 대응이 충분하다는 것을 확인했다.
