The purpose of this study was to compare of the kinematic variables from takeoff preparation to takeoff used by long jumpers who recorded over 8meters in 2002 Busan Asian Game and 2003 Daegu Universiade and 2001 national championship. The kinematic characteristics from the last three stride to takeoff at the takeoff board were analyzed such as velocities, heights and angles. The conclusion were as follows; In order to record over 8meters the national long jumpers should have under 5cm height variation at the penultimate stride of the run-up. In the approach phase the horizontal velocity of the jumpers should reach to 10m/s in touchdown at takeoff board The vertical velocity must have 3.75m/s simultaneously in order to record 8meters. The jumpers need to continue talent of the horizontal velocity in touchdown at takeoff board and require jumping power of the takeoff leg at takeoff board The appropriate body variation range ratio between takeoff and touchdown should be 1.2 vs 1 and the trunk angle at touch down on the board should be close to the erect posture for higher body flight.

Recently, ESA (European Space Agency) has launched CryoSAT-2 for polar ice observations. CryoSAT-2 is equipped with a SIRAL (SAR/interferometric radar altimeter), which is a high spatial resolution radar altimeter. Conventional altimeters cannot measure a precise three-dimensional ground position because of the large footprint diameter, while SIRAL altimeter system accomplishes a precise three-dimensional ground positioning by means of interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique. In this study, we developed an efficient SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique to measure a precise three-dimensional ground position. We first simulated SIRAL SARIn RAW data for the ideal target by assuming the flat Earth and linear flight track, and second accessed the precision of three-dimensional geopositioning achieved by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) azimuth processing that determines the squint angle from Doppler centroid, and 2) range processing that estimates the look angle from interferometric phase. In the ideal case, the precisions of look and squint angles achieved by the proposed algorithm were about -2.0 ${\mu}deg$ and 98.0 ${\mu}deg$, respectively, and the three-dimensional geopositioning accuracy was about 1.23 m, -0.02 m, and -0.30 m in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. This means that the SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique enables to measure the three-dimensional ground position with the precision of several meters.

This study presents a prediction methodology of transport properties using the methane-based TRAPP (m-TRAPP) method in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both subcritical and supercritical regions, in order to obtain thermo-physical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The viscosity and thermal conductivity are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid, gas, and the supercitical regions of representative hydrocarbon fuels. The predicted values are compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. It was demonstrated that the m-TRAPP method can give reasonable predictions of both viscosity and thermal conductivity in the wide range of temperature and pressure conditions studied in this paper. However, there still exists large discrepancy between the current data and established values by NIST, especially for the liquid phase. Compared to the thermal conductivity predictions, the calculated viscosities are in better agreement with the NIST database. In order to consider a wide range of conditions, it is suggested to select an appropriate method through further comparison with another improved prediction methodologies of transport properties.

In the recent defence industries, it is required to develop the small and low cost embedded systems for guided missiles. According to the characteristics of guided missiles, the mission is conducted with multiple phases, which include a squib activation phase. By considering the unexpected squib activation, the squib system should be disabled after the launch of a guided missile. Therefore, the squib system needs to include the functions of the safe ignition and status check. This paper presents the squib ignition and status check circuits design for the compact embedded systems in guided missiles. Validation results show that for the functions of the squib ignition and status check, the presented circuits design performs well. The designed circuits also were implemented with various electronic devices and validated by the ground and flight tests.

This paper presents an analysis of the trans-lunar trajectory insertion performance of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), the first lunar exploration spacecraft of the Republic of Korea. The successful launch conducted on August 4, 2022 (UTC), utilized the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The trans-lunar trajectory insertion performance plays a crucial role in ensuring the overall mission success by directly influencing the spacecraft's onboard fuel consumption. Following separation from the launch vehicle (LV), a comprehensive analysis of the trajectory insertion performance was performed by the KPLO flight dynamics (FD) team. Both orbit parameter message (OPM) and orbit determination (OD) solutions were employed using deep space network (DSN) tracking measurements. As a result, the KPLO was accurately inserted into the ballistic lunar transfer (BLT) trajectory, satisfying all separation requirements at the target interface point (TIP), including launch injection energy per unit mass (C3), right ascension of the injection orbit apoapsis vector (RAV), and declination of the injection orbit apoapsis vector (DAV). The precise BLT trajectory insertion facilitated the smoother operation of the KPLO's remainder mission phase and enabled the utilization of reserved fuel, consequently significantly enhancing the possibilities of an extended mission.

Guanosine-5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) serves as alarmone in bacterial stringent responses. In this study, an affinity column was constructed by immobilizing ppGpp to NHS-Sepharose for isolating ppGpp-binding proteins. A novel ppGpp-binding protein, YjgA, was isolated and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry) coupled with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. YjgA and truncated forms of YjgA were cloned and over-expressed in BL21 (DE3). The binding affinity of YjgA to ppGpp was determined by equilibrium dialysis. The interaction of YjgA with ppGpp was very specific, considering that the dissociation constant of YjgA with ppGpp was measured as $5.2{\pm}2.0{\mu}M$, while the affinities to GTP and GDP were about 60 and 30 times weaker than ppGpp. Expression of yjgA gene in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RT-PCR results revealed that yjgA was expressed from early to late stationary phase. The yjgA deletion mutant exhibited decreased cell number at stationary phase compared to parent strain and the over-expression of YjgA increased the cell number. These results suggested that YjgA might stimulate cell division under stationary phase. In most prokaryotic genome, about half of the protein candidates are hypothetical, that are expected to be expressed but there is no experimental report on their functions. The approach utilized in this study may serve as an effective mean to probe the functions of hypothetical proteins.

In this report, we present a case study of how pharmacogenomics and pharmacometabolomics can be useful to characterize safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in early phase new drug development clinical trials. During conducting a first-in-human trial for a new molecular entity, we were able to determine the mechanism of dichotomized variability in plasma drug concentrations, which appeared closely related to adverse drug reactions (ADRs) through integrated omics analysis. The pharmacogenomics screening was performed from whole blood samples using the Affymetrix DMET (Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters) Plus microarray, and confirmation of genetic variants was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Metabolomics profiling was performed from plasma samples using liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A GSTM1 null polymorphism was identified in pharmacogenomics test and the drug concentrations was higher in GSTM1 null subjects than GSTM1 functional subjects. The apparent drug clearance was 13-fold lower in GSTM1 null subjects than GSTM1 functional subjects (p < 0.001). By metabolomics analysis, we identified that the study drug was metabolized by cysteinylglycine conjugation in GSTM functional subjects but those not in GSTM1 null subjects. The incidence rate and the severity of ADRs were higher in the GSTM1 null subjects than the GSTM1 functional subjects. Through the integrated omics analysis, we could understand the mechanism of inter-individual variability in drug exposure and in adverse response. In conclusion, integrated multi-omics analysis can be useful for elucidating the various characteristics of new drug candidates in early phase clinical trials.

무선통신 시스템은 동일채널 또는 인접채널에서 동작하는 무선 송신기에 의해서 간섭을 받는다. 때문에 새로운 서비스를 도입할 경우에는 도입하는 시스템과 기존 시스템 상호 간에 미치는 간섭분석을 통해서 서로 공존할 수 있는 기술기준을 마련해야 한다. FTS(Flight Termination System)는 공공의 안전을 보장하고 발사체의 비정상적인 임무수행을 막기 위해서 사용된다. 최근에는 보안성을 높이고 여러 발사체나 비행체에서 동시에 운용할 수 있는 차세대 FTS에 대한 연구가 진행 중이며, EFTS(Enhanced FTS)는 이러한 목적에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 간섭신호가 EFTS의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. EFTS의 변조방식으로는 비동기 DPSK(Differential PSK)와 비동기 CPFSK(Continuous Phase FSK)를 고려하였고, 간섭원으로는 FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) 신호와 펄스레이더를 고려하였다. 간섭원의 전력은 FMCW의 경우 원신호보다 20.3dB가 작고, 펄스레이더의 경우에는 원신호보다 19.1dB가 작은 것으로 설정하고 간섭 영향을 시뮬레이션하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 FMCW 간섭의 경우 $E_b/N_o$가 1dB 정도 악화되었고, 펄스레이더 간섭 신호의 경우 $E_b/N_o$가 약 0.5dB 악화되었다.

무선통신 시스템에서는 운용하는 송신기나 수신기의 이동에 의해서 도플러 주파수 천이가 발생하며, 도플러 주파수 천이나 송수신기 사이에 존재하는 주파수 오프셋을 제거해야 원하는 성능을 얻을 수 있다. FTS(Flight Termination System)는 공공의 안전과 발사체의 비정상적인 임무 수행을 막기 위해서 사용되는데 발사체의 경우에는 지구 탈출을 위해서 초기 속도가 아주 빠르고 그에 따라서 도플러 주파수 천이도 아주 크다. 최근 차세대 FTS의 도입을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이며, 새로운 FTS를 도입하기 위해서는 도입하는 시스템에 대한 도플러 주파수의 영향을 검토해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 발사체의 도플러 주파수 천이가 FTS 수신기의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 디지털 방식의 FTS와 톤 방식의 FTS에 미치는 영향으로 나누어 분석하였다. 디지털 방식의 FTS인 EFTS(Enhanced FTS)에서는 비동기 DPSK(Differential PSK)와 비동기 CPFSK(Continuous Phase FSK)에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 검토하였고, 200Hz의 도플러 주파수 천이가 채널코딩을 적용한 비동기 DPSK와 비동기 CPFSK에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 BER이 $10^{-5}$ 근처에서 RS코딩은 약 0.5dB의 $E_b/N_o$가 악화되었고, 컨볼루션코딩과 BCH코딩은 성능변화가 거의 없거나 $E_b/N_o$가 0.1dB 정도 악화되었다. 톤 방식의 FTS에서는 수신기가 직교검파기를 사용하는 경우에 대해서 분석하였으며, 직교검파인 경우에는 도플러 주파수 천이의 영향을 거의 받지 않는다.
