A new frequency-variant equivalent circuit model of power/ground plane is presented. The equivalent circuit is modeled with grid cells. The circuit parameters of each cell were extracted by using Fasthenry. To verify the developed circuit model, its s-parameters are compared with the measured s-parameters 〔2〕 and the full-wave simulation-based s-parameters. Consequently, it is shown that our frequency-variant equivalent circuit model can accurately predict imperfect ground effects under the high frequency operation of electronic package.

The acoustical sources of intake and exhaust systems in fluid machines are often characterized by the source impedance and strength using linear frequency-domain modeling. In the case of the sources which are nonlinear and time-variant, however, the source parameters were sometimes incorrectly obtained. In this paper, the source model and direct measurement technique are modified in order to evaluate the effect due to nonlinear and periodically time-varying source character as well as the linear property of the reflectivity of in-duct fluid machine source. With a priori known kinematical information of the source, the types of nonlinear time-variant terms can be presumed by a simple physical model, in which there is practically no restriction on the form of the model. The concept of source impedance can be extendable by introducing the linear frequency response function for each nonlinear or time-variant input. Extending the conventional method and adapting the reverse MISO technique, it is possible to develop a direct method that can deal with the nonlinear time-variant source parameters. The proposed direct method has a novel feature that there is no restriction on the probability or spectral natures of the excited sound pressure data. The present method is verified by the simulated measurements for simplified fluid machines. It is thought that the proposed method would be useful in predicting the insertion loss or the radiated sound level from intake or exhaust systems.

The Parallel Model Compensation Using Frequency-variant: FV-PMC for noise-robust speech recognition is a method to classify the noises, which are expected to be intermixed with input speech when recognized, into several groups of noises by setting average frequency variant as a threshold value; and to recognize the noises depending on the classified groups. This demonstrates the excellent performance considering noisy speech categorized as good using the standard threshold value. However, it also holds a problem to decrease the average speech recognition rate with regard to unclassified noisy speech, for it conducts the process of speech recognition, combined with noiseless model as in the existing PMC. To solve this problem, this paper suggests a enhanced method of recognition to prevent the unclassified through improving the extent of rating scales with use of maximum likelihood so that the noise groups, including input noisy speech, can be classified into more specific groups, which leads to improvement of the recognition rate. The findings from recognition experiments using Aurora 2.0 database showed the improved results compared with those from the method of the previous FV-PMC.

In this paper, we propose a chip timing recovery algorithm that is robust to frequency offset and time variant fading environments for DS/CDMA. The proposed structure is a modified non-coherent Delay Locked Loop (DLL) that employs a decimator. Analytical expression for the proposed non-coherent DLL S-curve and steady-state timing jitter is derived and confirmed by computer simulation. The results show that the proposed structure can reduce a steady-state timing jitter of the regenerated spreading code replica to frequency offset and time-variant fading in mobile radio channel, especially in very low SNR.

The common speech recognition system displays higher recognition performance in a quiet environment, while its performance declines sharply in a real environment where there are noises. To implement a speech recognizer that is robust in different speech settings, this study suggests the method of Parallel Model Combination adaptation using frequency-variant based on environment-awareness (FV-PMC), which uses variants in frequency; acquires the environmental data for speech recognition; applies it to upgrading the speech recognition model; and promotes its performance enhancement. This FV-PMC performs the speech recognition with the recognition model which is generated as followings: i) calculating the average frequency variant in advance among the readily-classified noise groups and setting it as a threshold value; ii) recalculating the frequency variant among noise groups when speech with unknown noises are input; iii) regarding the speech higher than the threshold value of the relevant group as the speech including the noise of its group; and iv) using the speech that includes this noise group. When noises were classified with the proposed FV-PMC, the average accuracy of classification was 56%, and the results from the speech recognition experiments showed the average recognition rate of Set A was 79.05%, the rate of Set B 79.43%m, and the rate of Set C 83.37% respectively. The grand mean of recognition rate was 80.62%, which demonstrates 5.69% more improved effects than the recognition rate of 74.93% of the existing Parallel Model Combination with a clear model, meaning that the proposed method is effective.

In this paper, an equalization technique for OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in a time-variant multipath fading environment is described. A loss of subchannel orthogonality due to time-varying multipath fading channels leads to interchannel interference (ICI) which increases the error floor in proportion to Doppler frequency. A simple frequency-domain equalizer which can compensate the effect of ICI caused by time variation of multipath fading channel is proposed by modifying the previous frequency-domain equalization technique with taking into account only the ICI terms significantly affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via computer simulation by applying it to OFDM systems when the multipath fading channel is slowly time variant.

Major milk proteins have considerable variane which comes from substitution and deletions in their amino arid sequences. Variants in genes that code for milk proteins, such as ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (${\beta}-LG$) have been established as genetic markers for milk production and milk protein composition in dairy cattle. The effect of ${\beta}-LG$ variant on milk production traits, such as milk yield. fat yield, protein yield, fat percentage and protein percentage, was estimated for 482 Holstein cows in the first lactation. The ${\beta}-LG$ variants were determined by PCR-RFLP technique at the DNA level. Single trait linear model was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results of this study indicated that ${\beta}-LG$ variants affected significantly protein yield (p<0.05) and fat percentage (p<0.05). Animals with the AA variant produced 31kg of milk protein more than animals with the BB variant. On the contrary, cows with the BB variant had fat percentage higher by 0.35 and 0.32% compared with cows with the AA and AB variants, respectively. No associations between the ${\beta}-LG$ variants and milk yield, protein percentage and fat yield were found Therefore, milk production traits could be improved through ${\beta}-LG$ typing by increasing the frequency of A variant for protein yield or the frequency of B variant for fat content in Holstein dairy cattle population.

Frequency-variant transmission line parameters are determined. Then the signal transient characterizations of frequency-dependent multi-coupled lines are investigated. With the proposed method, an accurate signal integrity degradation such as signal ringing (overshoot, undershoot) and crosstalk noises relevant to the switching patterns of signals, rising / falling time(tr, tf) and line lengths is investigated. It is shown that there may be approximately 26% discrepancy of signal transients and 260% difference of crosstalk noises between the constant RLC model and frequency-variant RLC model in on-chip global interconnects while those of package lines are 11% and 70%, respectively.

hybridoma cells producing IgM anti-pneuococcal 6B polysaccharide antibodies were induced to switch to IgG-producing cells in vitro by treating with acridine orange. Treating 0.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of acridine orange for 24 hours generated maximal number of variant cells. The maximal isotype switch frequency was 3${\times}$10-5, which is about 30-fold higher than the frequency of spontaneous switching. Resulting IgG-producing variants were enriched by sib selection and ELISA spot assay. Two IgG3-producing variant cells were finally cloned by limiting dilution. The variant cells produced similar amounts of antibodies as their parental cells did. The two switched antibodies had similar reactivity to pneumococcal 6B polysaccharide. When compared to their parental IgM antibodies, the switched IgG3 than that of IgM antibody. The antibodies will be useful as essential tools for comparative study of the role of heavy chain isotypes in protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae.

MC-DS-CDMA is technique where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other. With this technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. Time variant channels lead to interchannel interference which increases the bit error rate for MC-DS-CDMA systems. The performance of PSAM MC-DS-CDMA system over time variant channels is analyzed. The BER performance of this system over multipath fading environment is evaluated, considering the channel estimation error, carrier frequency offset.
