In this paper, a novel analysis on the nonlinear response of a power amplifier (PA) with the intermodulation distortion (IMD) asymmetry is proposed based on the mutislice behavioral model. The coefficients of the odd-order and even-order polynomial of that model are represented with the PA practical circuit parameters such as intercept points, gain and amplitudes of excitation inputs. We also develop the analytic expressions to distinguish baseband frequency effect from second harmonic effect on the IMD asymmetry. We also validate the derived analytic expressions through measurements.

Purpose: Motivated by the fact that Malaysians fish consumption patterns and preferences have raised sustainability concerns, this study aims to understand the key entry points to promote sustainable consumption and increased uptake of sustainably sourced fish among Malaysian consumers. This is achieved by exploring the individual determinants of Malaysian consumers' fish purchasing behaviors and their subjective and objective knowledge of fish. Research design, data, and methodology: A survey was conducted using interviewled questionnaire on 250 consumers in selected Malaysian populations recruited via street-intercept random sampling. Results: Findings confirmed the homogeneous societal culture of fish consumption amongst Malaysians. Females and consumers with advanced degree are found to be potentially effective primary targets of sustainable consumption interventions. Future interventions should consider the solutions to the low health and sustainability literacies among Malaysian consumers, and limited availability, accessibility, and affordability of sustainable options in Malaysia. Conclusion: The study findings provide new insights for the multisectoral stakeholders in the region working on promoting sustainable fish consumption and sustainable fisheries in general.

중심합성계획(CCD)은 2차 선형 모형을 추정하기 위해서 자주 활용된다. 본 연구는 CCD를 활용하는 시뮬레이션 실험에서 공통난수(CRN) 상관유도전략을 사용하여 모형의 파라미터를 효율적으로 추정하고자 한다. CCD의 축점을 적절히 선택하면 모든 표본점에 공통난수를 할당하는 전략으로 얻은 파라미터의 가중최소자승(WLS) 추정량은 정규최소자승(OLS) 추정량과 일치한다. 본 연구는 선형모형의 파라미터를 추정하는 공통난수 상관유도전략이 파라미터 추정 효율성 측면에서 독립 난수 할당전략보다 우수함을 계량적으로 분석하였다. 2차 선형모형에서 상수항을 제외한 나머지 파라미터를 추정하는데 있어서 공통난수 상관유도전략이 우수하며 시뮬레이션 결과도 이러한 분석을 지지하고 있다. 제안된 난수 할당전략이 CCD 시뮬레이션 실험에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

An ultra-compact and wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) in a quad flat non-leaded (QFN) package is presented. The LNA monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is implemented in a $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN IC technology on a Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate provided by Triquint. A source degeneration inductor and a gate inductor are used to obtain the noise and input matching simultaneously. The resistive feedback and inductor peaking techniques are employed to achieve a wideband characteristic. The LNA chip is mounted in the $3{\times}3-mm^2$ QFN package and measured. The supply voltages for the first and second stages are 14 V and 7 V, respectively, and the total current is 70 mA. The highest gain is 13.5 dB around the mid-band, and -3 dB frequencies are observed at 0.7 and 12 GHz. Input and output return losses ($S_{11}$ and $S_{22}$) of less than -10 dB measure from 1 to 12 GHz; there is an absolute bandwidth of 11 GHz and a fractional bandwidth of 169%. Across the bandwidth, the noise figures (NFs) are between 3 and 5 dB, while the output-referred third-order intercept points (OIP3s) are between 26 and 28 dBm. The overall chip size with all bonding pads is $1.1{\times}0.9mm^2$. To the best of our knowledge, this LNA shows the best figure-of-merit (FoM) compared with other published GaN LNAs with the same gate length.

다제약 접근기반 OF(optical flow) 평가기술이 이동 물체의 인식에 자주 이용되고 있다. 그러나 OF 평가시간 뿐만 아니라 오차 문제로 인하여 사용이 제한되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 sobel 에쥐 검출과 다제약 접근기반 OF를 이용하여 효율적으로 움직임 정보를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 에쥐 검출 후 차영상과 영역분할기법으로 영상열 내 이동물체를 검출하고 임계치 처리로 잡음에 의해 검출된 이동물체들을 제거한다. 그리고 OF 최적 제약선을 찾기 위한 CHT와 Voting 누적을 적용한다. 이때 에쥐 검출과 영역분할을 이용함으로써 연속하는 영상열 내에서 이동 물체를 찾기 위한 CHT 계산시간을 현저히 줄이는 것이 가능하다. CHT 기반의 Voting은 최소자승법을 가미함으로써 오차 또한 감소시킨다. 그리고 제약선에 따른 수많은 점들을 계산하는 작업도 변환된 기울기-교점 파라미터를 사용함으로써 줄어들게 된다. 시뮬레이션 결과 영상 내에서 이동물체 인식비가 증가됨을 보였고 이동물체의 움직임 정보를 제공하는 OF 벡터도 매우 효율적으로 검출됨을 확인하였다.

Two separate animal trials were conducted to evaluate the coincidence of dry matter intake (DMI) and average daily gain (ADG) predicted by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) and observed actually in crossbred growing bulls kept in a traditionally confined feeding system in China. In Trial 1, 45 growing Simmental${\times}$Mongolia crossbred F1 bulls were assigned to three treatments (T1-3) with 15 animals in each treatment. Trial 2 was conducted with 60 Limousin${\times}$Fuzhou crossbred F2 bulls allocated to 4 treatments (t1-4). All of the animals were confined in individual stalls. DMI and ADG for each bull were measured as a mean of each treatment. All of the data about animals, environment, management and feeds required by the CNCPS model were collected, and model predictions were generated for animals on each treatment. Subsequently, model-predicted DMI and ADG were compared with the actually recorded results. In the three treatments in Trial 1, 93.3, 80.0 and 73.3% of points fell within the range from -0.4 to 0.4 kg/d for DMI mean bias; similarly, in the four treatments in Trial 2, about 86.7, 73.3, 73.3 and 80.0% of points fell within the same range. These results indicate that the CNCPS model can accurately predict DMI of crossbred bulls in the traditionally confined feeding system in China. There were no significant differences between predicted and observed ADG for T1 (p = 0.06) and T2 (p = 0.09) in Trial 1, and for t1 (p = 0.07), t2 (p = 0.14) and t4 (p = 0.83) in Trial 2. However, significant differences between predicted and observed ADG values were observed for T3 in Trial 1 (p<0.01) and for t3 in Trial 2 (p = 0.04). By regression analysis, a statistically different value of intercept from zero for the regression equation of DMI (p<0.01) or an identical value of ADG (p = 0.06) were obtained, whereas the slopes were significantly different (p<0.01) from unity for both DMI and ADG. Additionally, small root mean square error (RMSE) values were obtained for the unbiased estimator of the two variances (DMI and ADG). Thus, the present results indicated that the CNCPS model can give acceptable estimates of DMI and ADG of crossbred growing bulls kept in a traditionally confined feeding system in China.

본 연구는 위상천이 영사식 모아레 측정기의 기준 위상 측정단계에서 기준 위상의 검출 정확도를 높이기 위한 방안으로, 일반적인 N-bucket 방법이 아닌, 줄무늬 패턴 투사 영상의 직접적인 영상처리를 기반으로, 노이즈가 포함된 영상으로부터 기준 위상을 자동으로 검출하고 보정하는 방법을 다룬다. 일반적으로 기준위상을 정확히 구하기 위해서는 상대적으로 노이즈가 원천적으로 적은 고정밀도의 교정 시편과 이에 맞는 세분화된 교정방법이 필요하다. 하지만, 고가의 시편 제작비용 절감과 고정도 교정을 위한 교정시간의 단축을 위해, 상대적으로 일반 정밀도등급의 제작된 시편으로부터 획득된 영상을 이용하여, 효율적인 기준위상 교정 방법을 제안한다. 투사된 평행 라인 띠가 시편에서 반사되어 카메라로 입력되는 영상으로부터, 영상처리 라인마스크를 이용하여 격자 라인들의 중심점을 정밀하게 추출하고, 각 라인들에서 추출된 샘플링점 기반의 최소자승법을 이용하여, 라인 특징치인 기울기와 절편을 추출함으로써 실제 관측되는 격자 라인의 중심선을 획득하였으며, 획득된 중심선들을 이용하여 N-bucket 알고리즘에 적용할 수 있도록 위상을 추출한 후, 기준위상을 자동으로 생성하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 고가의 시편 제작 없이 빠르게 자동으로 기준위상을 추출할 수 있었다.

광양만의 해저에서 채취한 점성토시료의 물리적 성질과 역학적 특성을 규명하기 위한 일련의 실내시험을 수행하였다. 주요 시험내용은 제반 물리적 성질시험, 표준압밀시험, 비배수 및 배수 삼축시험(CIU, CID) 등이다. 통일분류에 의하면 CL, CH로 구분되는 광양만 점토는 자연함수비, 38.3~84.6%, 액성지수, 0.71~0.98 이고 과압밀비가 1.06~l.60인 실질적인 정규압밀상태라고 볼 수 있다. 비배수 삼축시험에서의 유효응력경로는 (q, p)공간에서 등방압밀응력($p_0$) 으로 규준화되고, 등 전단변형률선은 원점을 통과하며 선형적이다. 비배수 전단변형률($\varepsilon$)은 응력비($\eta$) 만의 함수이고, ($\varepsilon/\eta, \eta$) 공간에서 절편값을 갖는 직선으로 나타났다. 또한, 등방압밀응력으로 규준화된 간극수압도 응력비에 대하여 직선이고, 그 구배, C는 간극수압 매개변수로 정의될 수 있다. 이상에서 기술된 경향을 근거로 하여 비배수 응력경로 및 전단변형률을 예측할 수 있는 계산식을 제안하였고, 제안식에 의하여 계산된 응력경로와 전단변형률은 기존의 Cam-clay이론 보다 실측치에 더 가까운 값을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 배수시험 결과에서 얻어진 응력경로 상의 파괴점은 비배수 응력경로의 한계상태선과 동일 선상에 위치하며, 이 사실은 한계상태이론의 기본 개념과 일치한다.

This study investigates the age of the surficial rocks in the Arunta region using Uranium-Lead (U-Pb) geochronological dating. Rock samples were collected at four locations, Cattle-Water Pass (CP 1610), Gough Dam (GD 1622 and GD 1610), and London-Eye (LE 1601), within the Strangways Metamorphic Complex and crushed by selFragging. Subsequently, the zircon grains were imaged using Cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis and the U-Pb (uranium and lead) isotope ratios and the chrono-stratigraphy were measured. The imaged zircon revealed an anomalous heterogeneous crystal structure. Ellipses of the samples at locations GD1601, CP1610, and GD1622 fall below the intercept indicating the ages produced discordant patterns, whereas LE1601 intersects the Concordia curve at two points, implying the occurrence of an event of significant impact. For the rock sample at CP1610, the estimated mean age is 1742.2 ± 9.2 Ma with mean squared weighted deviation (MSWD) = 0.49 and probability of equivalence of 0.90; 1748 ± 15 Ma - MSWD = 1.02 and probability of equivalence of 0.40 for GD1622; and 1784.4 ± 9.1 Ma with MSWD of 1.09 and probability of equivalence of 0.37 for LE1601. But for samples at GD1601, two different age groups with different means occurred: 1) below the global mean (1792.2 ± 32 Ma) estimated at 1738.2 ± 14 Ma with MSWD of 0.109 and probability of equivalence of 0.95 and 2) above it with mean of 1838.22 ± 14 Ma, MSWD of 1.6 and probability of equivalence of 0.95. Analysis of the zircon grains has shown a discrepancy in the age range between 1700 Ma and 1800 Ma compared to the ASO dated to have occurred between 440 and 300 Ma. Moreover, apparent similarity in age of the core and rim means that the mineral crystallized relatively quickly without significant interruptions and effect on the isotopic system. This may have constraint the timing and extent of geological events that might have affected the mineral, such as metamorphism or hydrothermal alteration.
