  • Poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) has been known since 1948, when its synthesis was first reported by ICI. Co. In spite of its long history. application of PEN is limited as compared with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). because PEN monomer is very expensive, and PEN exhibits relatively high melt viscosity that is not easy for fiber spinning and injection molding.(omitted)

  • This thesis defines an end-to-end billing process model. The processes in the model can be mapped to the TMN(Telecommunications Management Network) model which is based on an international telecommunications management standard. We have identified two interfaces in this billing process model. Part 1 of this thesis provides a protocol-independent design of the UAI(Usage Accounting interface) between the service provider and the network provider. Part 2 of this thesis provides information modeling of the UMI(Usage Metering Interface) between the network provider and the equipment provider. This interface is applied to the B-ICI(Broadband ISDN Inter-Carrier Interface) environment.

  • In this paper, the performance of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and FMT(Filtered Multi-tone) Systems is compared under jamming environment. Two systems are multi-carrier systems to improve data rates. Through the comparison of two systems under jamming environment, the characteristics and strong/weak points of each system are analyzed.

  • In this paper, the structure of OFDM system is studied, and causes of inter carrier interference (ICI) are analyzed. Based on analysis, this paper shows a technique to prevent a distortion due to nonlinearity of high Power amplifier. The proposed scheme is a predistorter for high power amplifier linearization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system used in wireless local area network(WLAN). This is verified by comparing BER characteristics of OFDM system, between used PD and not used PD.

  • A method to estimate the relative sensitivity of a self-powered rhodium detector for an upcoming cycle is developed by combining the rhodium depletion data from a nuclear design with the site measurement data. This method can be used both by nuclear power plant designers and by site staffs of Korean standard nuclear power plants for determining which rhodium detectors should be replaced during overhauls.

  • The objective of this work was to study the direct effects of daidzein on steroidogenesis in cultured mouse Leydig cells. Adult mouse Leydig cells were purified by Percoll gradient centrifugation, and the cell purity was determined using a $3{\beta}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ($3{\beta}$-HSD) staining method. The purified Leydig cells were exposed to different concentrations ($10^{-7}$ M to $10^{-4}$ M) of daidzein for 24 h under basal and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated conditions. The cell viability and testosterone production were determined, and the related mechanisms of daidzein action were also evaluated using the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 and measuring the mRNA levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), and $3{\beta}$-HSD-1 involved in testosterone biosynthesis. The results revealed that daidzein did not influence cell viability. Daidzein increased both basal and hCG-stimulated testosterone production in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was statistically significant at concentrations of $10^{-5}$ M and $10^{-4}$ M daidzein (p<0.05). ICI 182,780 had no influence on daidzein action. RTPCR results revealed that $10^{-5}$ M and $10^{-4}$ M daidzein did not exert any obvious influence on the mRNA level of P450scc in Leydig cells. However, in the presence of hCG, these concentrations of daidzein significantly increased the StAR and $3{\beta}$-HSD-1 mRNA levels (p<0.05), but in the absence of hCG, only $10^{-5}$ M and $10^{-4}$ M daidzein up-regulated the StAR and $3{\beta}$-HSD-1 mRNA expression (p<0.05), respectively. These results suggest that daidzein has direct effect on Leydig cells. Daidzein-induced increase of testosterone production is probably not mediated by the estrogen receptor but correlates with the increased mRNA levels of StAR and $3{\beta}$-HSD-1.

  • In this paper, a resource management technique for digital duplexing (DD) systems using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is proposed. The proposed technique can reduce the dynamic range of the signal received at the subscriber station (SS) and minimize the effects of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) due to the time difference of arrival (TDoA) without using a cyclic suffix. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed technique can reduce the number of bits for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and increase the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) significantly.

  • In this paper, comparisons of the superimposition schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system are made. The time domain superimposition of data (TDSD) has a tradeoff between the degree of freedom for data transmission and inter-carrier interference (ICI). While SPPT and APSB experiences the increases of interference as the transmit data rate increases, TDSD can effectively improve spectral efficiency by exploiting preprocessing structures which prevents interference between the signals in the different domain. TDSD which we proposed is compared with the conventional superimposition schemes or OFDM, such as SPPT (the superimposed periodic pilot in the time domain) and APSB (the added pilot semi-blind channel estimation) by simulation. As the result, comparing the conventional OFDM, TDSD can increase the spectral efficiency up to about 20% with the superimposition factor M=16 while SPPT has the similar efficiency. APSB has the worst efficiency.
