A high-performance transmit/receive (T/R) switch is essential for every radio-frequency (RF) device. This paper proposes a T/R switch that is designed in the CEDEC 0.13 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology for 2.4 GHz ISM-band RF applications. The switch exhibits a 1 dB insertion loss, a 28.6 dB isolation, and a 35.8 dBm power-handling capacity in the transmit mode; meanwhile, for the 1.8 V/0 V control voltages, a 1.1 dB insertion loss and a 19.4 dB isolation were exhibited with an extremely-low power dissipation of 377.14 μW in the receive mode. Besides, the variations of the insertion loss and the isolation of the switch for a temperature change from - 25℃ to 125℃ are 0.019 dB and 0.095 dB, respectively. To obtain a lucrative performance, an active inductor-based resonant circuit, body floating, a transistor W/L optimization, and an isolated CMOS structure were adopted for the switch design. Further, due to the avoidance of bulky inductors and capacitors, a very small chip size of 0.0207 mm² that is the lowest-ever reported chip area for this frequency band was achieved.

화석 연료의 고갈로 인해 신재생 에너지에 관한 관심이 날로 증가하고 있다. 그 중에서도 예측가능성이 높고 이용 가능한 양이 풍부한 파력에너지에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 부유체-균형추식 파력발전장치는 진동 타입과 비교해 구조 강도가 증진된 장치이며, 부유체의 포면에 웨이브 캠버라 불리우는 격벽을 설치하여 파도가 오직 상하운동만을 하도록 만들었다. 본 논문은 주로 병렬 연결된 파력 발전장치의 발전량에 중점을 두고, 그 발전량을 계산하였다. 그 결과, nl/L의 값이 증가할수록, 더 많은 전력량이 발생하고, nl/L=0.40 이상이 되었을 때, 상시 연속적인 발전량이 얻어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구를 통해서, 실제 해역 조건에 유리한 유수실을 설계하는데 기본 자료로 활용할 수 있다.

By examining the relationship between physiological character of stomach and true viscera pulse(眞臟脈) with "Huangdinejing(黃帝內經)", the study shows these fallowing results. Stomach is not only one of the six bowels(六腑), it represents them. It is called as yang brightness of foot(足陽明) because it has relation with function of earth among five phases(五行), great storage(倉廩) and root of five visceras and six bowels(五臟六腑), has close relationship with triple energizers(三焦). Stomach is an important organ that feeds acquired qi(後天之氣) based on food and stomach qi (胃氣) which is a transformed form by going through digestion, is significant for life conservation. In human body, the activation of stomach qi can be known by pulse. The true viscera pulse is a pulse which predicts the period of death. If stomach qi exsits, viscera qi can be led to greater yin of hand(手太陰), however, when it does not exist, five viscera qi can not be led to greater yin of hand and this kind of situation appears the true viscera pulse. Hence, by knowing the relation between stomach qi and five viscera qi, the condition of normality, disease, and death can be known. In "Hwangdineijing" it says, stomach qi, shortly string like pulse(微弦), shortly surging pulse(微鉤), shortly floating pulse(微毛), and shortly sunken pulse(微毛) shown in four seasons are normal pulse. And also it emphasizes, normal pulse is made when four seasons, five viscera pulse, and stomach qi are in harmony. In conclusion, stomach qi is based on food for well being, and a standard of judging people whether they are living in a healthy life or not.

파력발전시스템의 에너지 흡수 효율은 입사파의 파력과 발전기 구동 동력의 비로 정의된다. 흡수 효율은 파력발전시스템의 동적 거동에 의존하기 때문에 파력발전시스템의 에너지 흡수 효율을 예측하기 위해서 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 흡수 효율을 예측하기 위하여 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석을 수행하였다. 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석을 위해서 상용 다물체동역학 해석 프로그램인 RecurDyn을 사용하였고, 부유체에 작용하는 파력을 모델링하기 위해서 Morison equation을 적용하였다. 효율분석 결과 파고가 낮고, 주기가 짧을수록 흡수효율이 높아지는 경향을 보인다.

The basic principles in the "Spleen-stomach theory(脾胃論)" sets up the phases and roles of spleen-stomach (脾胃) by establishing Earth(地 坤 土) and exposing the reality of spleen-stomach(脾胃) of human body which has its own shape and form with Heaven's reality exhibited. The meaning of Earth is based on the constant meaning of Earth in 'Earth Original-Earth as extended and stable ground(坤元一正之土)' giving form and shape, and Earth's movement with circulation, then exposes itself as 'Earth as plowing land(耕種之土)' concerning both the application of Five Phases and the physical characteristics of Earth. The Yin-Yang recognition on Earth is revealed as Yin Earth(陰土)-Yang Earth(陽土). Spleen(脾) was established as Yin Earth(陰土) and Stomach(胃) as Yang Earth(陽土). The seasonal assignment of Earth is Indian Summer(長夏), which is divided from Summer, and becomes Heat(熱), and the Yin-Yang recognition of Earth comes to be the meaning of the center and border. According to the Five Phasic recognition, it becomes Earth(土) and gets to be Dampness(濕) in accordance with Six Qi(六氣). 'Extreme Yin(至陰)' indicates Qi's status exposing the fundamental meaning regarding the role of creating, changing, and propelling Spleen-Stomach(脾胃) as a characteristic Yin Earth. Earth comprehends 'Four Courses(四維)' meaning, recognizes them as four parts of the 12 Earth's Branches(辰戌丑未) and the terminals of four seasons(四季之末), and has the meaning of the president of the change in four seasons. The theory of principle in the "Spleen-stomach theory(脾胃論)" stands on the basis of the 'Form Qi theory(形氣論)' and that of 'Upbearing, Downbearing, Floating, and Sinking theory(升降浮沈論)'. It manifests the theory of movement in the interaction between Form(形) and Qi(氣), and 'Qi Interior Form Exterior(氣裏形表)' indicates that Qi(氣) moves interiorly and Form(形) exteriorly.

Exponential rise in the use of mobile communication devices has generated health concerns due to radiofrequency (RF) exposure due to its close proximity to the head. Calcium binding proteins like calretinin regulate the levels of calcium ($Ca^{2+}$) which plays an important role in biological systems. Ginseng is known for maintaining equilibrium in the human body and may play a beneficial radioprotectant role against electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. In the present study, we evaluated the radioprotective effects of red ginseng (RG) extract in a mouse model. Calretinin (CR) expression was measured using a free-floating immunohistochemical method in the hippocampus of mice after 835 MHz EMF exposure for 5 h/d for 5 d at specific absorption rate=1.6 W/kg for the different experimental groups. The control animals were treated with NaCl while the experimental animals received 10 mg/kg ginseng, or 30 mg/kg; EMF exposed mice were also treated with NaCl, 10 mg/kg ginseng (E10), or 30 mg/kg (E30). Decreases in CR immunoreactivity (IR) along with loss of CA1 and CA3 interneurons and infragranular cells were observed in the ENaCl group while such losses were not observed in the E10 and E30 groups. CR IR significantly increased in the RG-treated group compared to control and EMF-exposed groups treated with NaCl. The study demonstrates that RG extract can serve as a radioprotective agent that maintains $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis and prevents neuronal loss in the brain hippocampal region caused by RF exposure.

Generally, global performance analysis in offshore platforms is performed using potential-based numerical tools, which neglect hydrodynamic viscous effects. In comparison with the potential theory, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods can take into account the viscous effects by solving the Navier-Stokes equation using the finite-volume method. The open-source field operation and manipulation (OpenFOAM) C++ libraries are employed for a finite volume method (FVM) numerical analysis. In this study, in order to apply CFD to the global performance analysis of a hull-mooring coupled system, we developed a numerical wave basin to analyze the global performance problem of a floating body with a catenary mooring system under regular wave conditions. The mooring system was modeled using a catenary equation and solved in a quasi-static condition, which excluded the dynamics of the mooring lines such as the inertia and drag effects. To demonstrate the capability of the numerical basin, the global performance of a barge with four mooring lines was simulated under regular wave conditions. The simulation results were compared to the analysis results from a commercial mooring analysis program, Orcaflex. The comparison included the motion of the barge, catenary shape, and tension in the mooring lines. The study found good agreement between the results from the developed CFD-based numerical calculation and commercial software.

수생식물 개구리밥(Spirodela polyrhiza)의 식물체 발달 과정에서 나타나는 미생물과의 상호관계를 주사전자현미경 및 세포학적으로 추적하여 연구하였다. 개구리밥은 부유성 식물로 분화 발달 초기부터 잠수부위에 여러 종류의 박테리아, 남조류, 규조류 등이 서식하였다. 미분화된 어린 식물체에는 성숙 발달한 식물체에 비해 미생물들이 낮은 빈도로 출현하였고, 성숙한 식물체에서는 특히 엽상체 하피에 가장 많은 미생물들이 서식하였으며, 그 다음으로는 점액성 물질이 층을 이루는 근관에 많이 관찰되었다. 반면, 신장 발달 중의 뿌리에는 일반적인 분포를 보였으며, 상피에는 미생물이 거의 분포하지 않는 양상을 보였다. 이들 미생물이 개구리밥 조직 내에 침입하여 식물체에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 조사하기 위해 엽상체, 연결사, 뿌리, 근관, 무성생식낭 등의 구조를 세포학적으로 추적한 결과, 어느 부위에서도 조직 내로 미생물이 침입하여 세포를 괴사시키거나 감염시키는 일은 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 그러므로, 개구리밥 식물체의 발달과정에 있어 미생물들은 어떠한 해를 주지 않는 것으로 추정된다. 이후 개구리밥에 서식하는 미생물의 질소고정치를 측정하여 그 기능을 식물체의 세포학적 측면과 접목시켜 연구하면 개구리밥과 미생물과의 상호관계가 공생적인지를 더 확실하게 밝힐 수 있을 것이다.

As in the other fields of mechanics, analytical methods represent an important analysis tool in marine hydrodynamics. The analytical approach is interesting for different reasons : it gives reference results for numerical codes verification, it gives physical insight into some complicated problems, it can be used as a simplified predesign tool, etc. This approach is of course limited to some simplified geometries (cylinders, spheres, ...), and only the case of one or more cylinders, truncated or not, will be considered here. Presented methods are basically eigenfunction expansions whose complexity depends on the boundary conditions. The hydrodynamic boundary value problem (BVP) is formulated within the usual assumptions of potential flow and is additionally simplified by the perturbation method. By using this approach, the highly nonlinear problem decomposes into its linear part and the higher order (second, third, ...) corrections. Also, periodicity is assumed so that the time dependence can be factorized i.e. the frequency domain formulation is adopted. As far as free surface flows are concerned, only cases without or with small forward speed are sufficiently simple to be solved semi-analytically. The problem of the floating body advancing in waves with arbitrary forward speed is far more complicated. These remarks are also valid for the general numerical methods where the case of arbitrary forward speed, even linearized, is still too difficult from numerical point of view, and "it is fair to say that there exists at present no general practical numerical method for the wave resistance problem" [9], and even less for the general seakeeping problem. We note also that, in the case of bluff bodies like cylinders, the assumptions of the potential flow are justified only if the forward speed is less than the product of wave amplitude with wave frequency.
