본 연구에서는 갈조류인 큰열매모자반 에탄올 추출물(Ethanol extract of Sargassum Macrocarpum, EESM)의 항염증 활성을 조사하였다. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 EESM에 의한 항염증 효과를 조사한 결과 EESM은 nitric oxide (NO)와 prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$)의 분비를 억제하는 결과를 보였고, 이는 inducible NO synthase (iNOS)와 cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)의 발현 역시 억제하였다. 또한 전염증성 사이토카인인 tumor necrosis factor-alpha ($TNF-{\alpha}$)와 interleukin 1 beta ($IL-1{\beta}$)의 발현도 억제하였다. 이러한 염증반응이 어떤 신호경로를 통해 일어나는지 알아보기 위해 nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt 그리고 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) 신호전달 경로를 조사한 결과 EESM에 의해 $NF-{\kappa}B$가 세포질에서 핵으로 이동과 Akt 단백질의 인산화가 억제되었고 MAPK에 속하는 kinase 중 ERK의 단백질 인산화가 억제되었다. 따라서 EESM이 $NF-{\kappa}B$ 신호계를 포함한 PI3K/Akt 및 MAPK/ERK 신호경로를 동시에 관여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)과 그 전사 인자인 nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)의 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 EESM에 의해 HO-1 및 Nrf2의 발현이 증가됨을 보였다. 본 연구 결과 EESM은 높은 항염증 활성을 갖는 것으로 확인되였으며 향후 잠재적인 기능성 소재로서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper we compare performance of exponential effective SINR mapping (EESM) with traditional actual value interface (AVI) approach for various modulation and coding schemes (MCS) in terms of coded bit error rate (BER) or block error rate (BLER) using different transmission schemes. This paper provides explanation and comparison of the two algorithms for single input single output (SISO), and single input multi-output (SIMO, 1X2) in OFDM systems. We calibrate the value of beta ($\beta$) in EESM using large number of channel realizations, here $\beta$ is a calibration constant. This paper also presents importance of beta value in EESM and how it improves the performance of OFDM wireless systems. We propose different modulation and coding schemes. Here we consider Standford university interim (SUI) channel models. Furthermore this paper also shows the detail observation of the two algorithms. Finally the conclusion review given for short summary.

The switching frequency of the power electronic devices used in large synchronous motor drives is usually kept low (less than 1 kHz) to reduce the switching losses and to improve the converter power capability. However, this results in a couple of problems, e.g. an increase in the harmonic components of the stator current, and an undesired cross-coupling between the magnetization current component ($i_m$) and the torque component ($i_t$). In this paper, a novel complex matrix model of electrically excited synchronous motors (EESM) was established with a new control scheme for coping with the low switching frequency issues. First, a hybrid observer was proposed to identify the instantaneous fundamental component of the stator current, which results in an obvious reduction of both the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the low order harmonics. Then, a novel complex current controller was designed to realize the decoupling between $i_m$ and $i_t$. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of this novel control system for EESM drives.

A new control algorithm so called equal excursion sliding mode (EESM) control method is proposed to control the position of DC servo motor. This method introduces the concept of phase velocity vector that Filippov presented, and simplifies the problem of control gain selection in a conventional VSC strategy. And, by making state trajectories have equal excursions on both sides of switching hyperplane we minimized the probability of sliding mode's being collapsed, and approximated to the ideal sliding moed. Also, we proved the validity of this method by comparing the application results of this method to DC servo motor with those of conventional VSC strategy.
