Recent developments such as concern over global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and increase in energy demands by the increasing world population has eventually lead to mass production of electricity using renewable sources. Ocean contains energy in form of thermal energy and mechanical energy: thermal energy from solar radiation and mechanical energy from the waves and tides. The current paper looks at generating power using waves. The primary objective of the present study is to maximize the primary energy conversion (first stage conversion) of the base model by making some design changes. The model entire consisted of a numerical wave tank and the turbine section. The turbine section had three components; front guide nozzle, augmentation channel and the rear chamber. The augmentation channel further consisted of a front nozzle, rear nozzle and an internal fluid region representing the turbine housing. Different front guide nozzle configuration and rear chamber design were studied. As mentioned, a numerical wave tank was utilized to generate waves of desired properties and later the turbine section was integrated. The waves in the numerical wave tank were generated by a piston type wave maker which was located at the wave tank inlet. The inlet which was modeled as a plate wall which moved sinusoidally with the general function, $x=asin{\omega}t$. In addition to primary energy conversion, observation of flow characteristics, pressure and the velocity in the augmentation channel, rear chamber as well as the front guide nozzle are presented in the paper. The analysis was performed using the commercial code of the ANSYS-CFX. The base model recorded water power of 29.9 W. After making the changes, the best model obtained water power of 37.1 W which represents an increase of approximately 24% in water power and primary energy conversion.

This article describes the characteristics of nondispersive infrared carbon dioxide gas sensor according to the temperatures and humidifies. In this researches, a thermopile sensor that included application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was used and the White-cell structure was implemented as an optical waveguide. The developed sensor modules were installed in gas chamber and then the temperature of gas chamber has been increased from 283 K to 313 K with 10K temperature step. In order to analyze the effects of humidity levels, the relative humidity levels were changed from 30 to 80%R.H. with small humidifier. Then, the characteristics of sensor modules were acquired with the increment of carbon dioxide concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm. When the initial voltages of sensors were compared before and after humidifying the chamber at constant temperature, the decrements of the output voltages of sensors are like these: 9mV (reference infrared sensor), 41 mV (carbon dioxide sensor), 2 mV (temperature sensor). With the increment of ambient temperature, the averaged output voltage of carbon dioxide sensor was increased 19 mV, however, when the humidity level was increased, it was decreased 14mV. Based upon the experimental results, the humidity effect could be alleviated by the increment of temperature, so the effects of humidity and temperature could be only compensated by the ambient temperature itself. The estimated carbon dioxide concentrations showed 10% large errors below 200 ppm, however, the errors of the estimations of carbon dioxide concentrations were less than ${\pm}5%$ from 400 to 2,000 ppm.

To develop a biomarker predicting tumor treatment efficacy is helpful to reduce time, medical expenditure, and efforts in oncology therapy. In clinics, microvessel density using immunohistochemistry has been proposed as an indicator that correlates with both tumor size and metastasis of cancer. In the preclinical study, we hypothesized that vascular morphometrics using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) could be potential indicators to estimate the treatment efficacy of breast cancer. To verify this hypothesis, a 13762-MAT-B-III rat breast tumor was grown in a dorsal skinfold window chamber which was applied to a nude mouse, and the change in vascular morphology was longitudinally monitored during tumor growth and metronomic cyclophosphamide treatment. Based on the daily OCTA maximum intensity projection map, multiple vessel parameters (vessel skeleton density, vessel diameter index, fractal dimension, and lacunarity) were compared with the tumor size in no tumor, treated tumor, and untreated tumor cases. Although each case has only one animal, we found that the vessel skeleton density (VSD), vessel diameter index and fractal dimension (FD) tended to be positively correlated with tumor size while lacunarity showed a partially negative correlation. Moreover, we observed that the changes in the VSD and FD are prior to the morphological change of the tumor. This feasibility study would be helpful in evaluating the tumor vascular response to treatment in preclinical settings.

An integrated grader which measures soluble solid content, color and weight of fresh apples was developed by NAMRI. The prototype grader consists of the near infrared spectroscopy and machine vision system. Image processing system and an algorithm to evaluate color were developed to speed up the color evaluation of apples. To avoid the light glare and specular reflection, an half-spherical illumination chamber was designed and fabricated to detect the color images of spherical-shaped apples more precisely. A color revision model based on neural network was developed. Near-infrared(NIR) spectroscopy system using NIR reflectance method developed by Lee et al(1998) of NAMRI was used to evaluate soluble solid content. In order to observe the performance of the grader, tests were conducted on conditions that there are 3 classes in weight sorting, 4 classes in combination of color and soluble solid content, and thus 12 classes in combined sorting. The average accuracy in weight, color and soluble solid content is more than about 90 % with the capacity of 3 fruits per second.

파프리카의 상하위엽의 광합성 속도 차이를 측정하고, 광합성 측정용 챔버를 이용한 광합성량 측정치와의 차이를 비교하여 보다 정밀한 파프리카 생육시의 $CO_2$ 요구도를 알아보고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 광합성측정장치(LI-6400)를 이용하여 위치 별 파프리카의 광합성속도를 측정하였다. 또한 파프리카 개체의 $CO_2$ 소모량의 정량화를 위하여 환경조절이 가능한 밀폐 챔버를 제작하고, 챔버 내부의 $CO_2$ 농도의 감소량을 측정하여 식물이 이용한 $CO_2$를 정량화하였다. 파프리카의 상위엽과 하위엽에서 광도증가에 따른 광합성 속도 상위엽에서 증가량이 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 제작한 챔버 내부의 $CO_2$ 농도를 $1,500{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ 수준으로 설정한 후, 일사량 변화에 따른 챔버 내부의 $CO_2$ 농도를 이용하여 식물체에 의해 소모된 양을 계산하였다. 엽면적이 $7,533.4cm^2$인 파프리카의 경우, 적산광(x)에 따른 $CO_2$ 소모량은 다음과 같은 광합성량 추정 모델식으로 추정되었다: $y=-0.06234+3.671^*x/(2.589+x)$ ($R^2=0.9966^{***}$). $300{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 광도범위에서 챔버를 이용한 파프리카의 광합성속도는 $3.4{\mu}mol\;CO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 이었고, 상위엽과 하위엽에서의 광합성 측정기에 의한 데이터와 비교하여 중간 값을 나타내었다. 따라서 실제 대규모 농가에서 단위엽의 광합성 측정에 의하여 $CO_2$ 시비량을 계산하면 실제 필요량과 공급량 간에 큰 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 엽 광합성속도 이외에도 본 연구에서와 같이 챔버를 이용하여 파프리카 식물체 개체가 소비하는 $CO_2$량을 정량화한다면 상업용 온실에 필요한 $CO_2$ 시비량을 정확하게 추정할 수 있다.

Development of a biomarker for predicting tumor-treatment efficacy is a matter of great concern, to reduce time, medical expense, and effort in oncology therapy. In a preclinical study, we hypothesized that the blood-flow parameter based on laser speckle flowmetry (LSF) could be a potential indicator to estimate the efficacy of breast-cancer treatment. To verify this hypothesis, a 13762-MAT-B-III rat breast tumor was grown in a dorsal skinfold window chamber applied to a nude mouse, and the change in blood flow rate (BFR) - or the speckle flow index (SFI) is used together as the same meaning in this manuscript - was longitudinally monitored during tumor growth and metronomic cyclophosphamide treatment. Based on the daily LSF angiogram, several BFR parameters (baseline SFI, normalized SFI, and △rBFR) were compared to tumor size in the normal, treated, and untreated tumor groups. Despite the incomplete tumor treatment, we found that the daily changes in all BFR parameters tended to have partially positive correlation with tumor size. Moreover, we observed that the changes in baseline SFI and normalized SFI responded one day earlier than the tumor shrinkage during chemotherapy. However, daily variations in the hypercapnia-induced △rBFR lagged tumor shrinkage by one day. This study would contribute not only to evaluating tumor vascular response to treatment, but also to monitoring blood-flow-mediated diseases (in brain, skin, and retina) by using LSF in preclinical settings.

For the Radio Frequency Integrated Passive Device (RFIPD) application, we have successfully developed and characterized high break-down voltage metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors with 2,000 ${\AA}$ plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon nitride which deposited with $SiH_4/NH_3$ gas mixing rate, working pressure, and RF power of PECVD at $250^{\circ}C$ chamber temperature. At the PECVD process condition of gas mixing rate (0.957), working pressure (0.9 Torr), and RF power (60 W), the AFM RMS value of about 2,000 ${\AA}$ silicon nitride on the bottom metal was the lowest of 0.862 nm and break-down electric field was the highest of about 8.0 MV/cm with the capacitance density of 326.5 $pF/mm^2$.

Aiming at a direct, also more realistic, prediction of unstable waves evolving in the combustion chamber, present paper introduces a new analytical method. Instability equations are freshly formulated, and solve the time-integrated ODEs for amplification factors to find the transients of pressure and velocity fluctuations. Present numerical approach requires no separate treatments for nonlinearities. Preliminary numerical experiments for unstable waves in quasi-one-dimensional rocket combustor, show validity and applicability of present model, and promise for its practical use. Study for the complex models for physics, especially velocity- and pressure-coupled responses, and inclusion of multi dimensionality remains as future tasks.
