공중파 방송과는 달리 통신망을 이용하는 IPTV는 사용자가 채널을 변경하면 변경된 채널 데이터를 서버로부터 받아와야 하므로 지연시간이 발생하게 되며 이러한 채널변경 지연시간의 발생은 사용자의 체감품질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 다중체인 구조를 이용한 P2P기반의 IPTV시스템에서 채널을 변경할 때 발생하는 지연시간을 감소시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 인접한 채널을 함께 전송하는 방법과 새로운 채널그룹에 접속할 때 미리 구성되어 있는 테이블을 이용하여 유효한 peer로 직접 접속하는 방법으로 구성된다. 이 방법은 첫 번째 채널변경에서의 지연시간을 없애고 사용자가 채널을 계속 변경하면서 원하는 채널을 찾는 채널탐색 환경에서도 지연시간을 줄이는 장점이 있다. 수치적인 분석을 통해서 제안하는 구조의 지연시간 감소 효과가 높다는 것을 보여준다.

In an asymmetrical speed channel environment like asymmetric digital subscriber line, the up-link bandwidth is normally smaller than the down-link bandwidth, which will lead to extremely low utilization of down-link bandwidth when current P2P video transmission is applied. To overcome this, a new fast P2P video transmission method applied in an asymmetrical speed channel environment is proposed in this paper. On the basis of the many-to-one concept, the proposed method uses a new multipeer aggregation technique to enhance the utilization of down-link bandwidth. In addition, an adaptive peer assignment algorithm is also introduced in order to minimize the overall transmission time. Experimental results show that by using our proposed method, the utilization of down-link bandwidth is significantly improved, and the overall transmission time is greatly reduced.

Single smooth muscle cells of the rabbit pulmonary artery were isolated by treatment with collagenase and elastase. Using the patch clamp technique, potassium channel activity was recorded from the inside-out membrane patch. The channel had a sin히e channel conductance of about 360 pS in symmetrical concentration of K on both sides of the patch, 150 mM, and had a linear current-voltage relationship. During the application of 10 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA) to the intracellular membrane surface, the amplitude of single channel current was reduced and very rapid flickering appeared. The open probability $(P_0)$ of this channel was increased by increasing positivity of the potential across the patch membrane, with e-fold increase by 20 mV depolarization, and by increasing the internal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration. These findings are consistent with those of large conductance Ca-activated K channels reported in other tissues. But the shortening of the mean open time by increasing $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, was an unexpected result and one additional closed state which might be arisen from a block of the open channel by Ca binding was suggested. The $P_0-membrane$ potential relationship was modulated by internal pH. Decreasing pH reduced $P_0$. Increasing pH not only increased $P_0$ but also weakened the voltage dependency of the channel opening. The modulation of Ca-activated K channel by pH was thought to be related to the mechanism of regulation of vascular tone by the pH change.

The IEEE 802.11p-based wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) [1] communication is a method used exclusively for wireless communication on the road. This technique enables information sharing not only among moving vehicles but also between vehicles and infrastructure [2]. As part of WAVE communication, data is transmitted to and from vehicles in motion; in this case, it is difficult to determine the channel accurately in an outdoor environment owing to the Doppler shift [3]. This paper proposes a new channel estimation scheme for enhancing the reception performance of the IEEE 802.11p-based WAVE system. The proposed technique obtains the initial channel value by estimating the least square in the time domain by inserting a pilot signal for channel estimation into the IEEE 802.11p virtual subcarrier. Subsequently, a least mean square algorithm is applied to the initial channel value to update the estimated channel value. The simulation results obtained using the proposed channel estimation technique confirm its remarkable efficiency.

The immunocytochemical method was used to identify the existence of voltage-dependent $Ca^{2＋}$-channels in mouse follicular oocytes. Three types of voltage-dependent $Ca^{2＋}$-channels were shown to exist in the follicular oocytes for the first time, the P/Q-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel, the N-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel, and the L-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel. Among proven $Ca^{2＋}$-channels distributions of the P/Q-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel and L-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel showed localized staining (clustered pattern) on the oolemma. The distribution of the P/Q-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel showed all localized staining, and the range of localized staining was from 1 to 8 in staining intensity. As the staining intensity increased from 1 to 8, the number of localized staining decreased. The L-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel are homogeneously stained (29.4%-54.2%), while some of them (around 28.7%-44.1%) showed localized staining on the oolemma. However, the rest of them showed no staining at all (17.1%- 26.5%). On the contrary, the N-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel showed mostly homogeneous staining, while nonstaining oocytes were around 33.8%. The rest showed localized staining (10%). However, staining intensity was much weaker than those of the P/Q-type and L-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel. In fact, the N-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel has been known to exist only in neurons (from ectoderm origin), but it is unknown how the N-type $Ca^{2＋}$-channel exists in the follicular oocytes (from mesoderm origin). Further studies are needed to examine the expression of $Ca^{2＋}$-channels during the developmental stages of the oocytes.

We have studied mutant forms of Kir2.1 in which an aspartate residue (D172), important for gating by intracellular polyamines, is replaced by one of three basic residues (Arg, Lys or His). Such channels are highly selective for $K^+$, but show inward rectification that is a shallow function of voltage compared with that found in wild type. This inward rectification occurs with a reduced affinity for spermine and persists in the absence of polyamines. Though the unitary current-voltage relation shows some inward rectification, it is insufficient to account for that seen under whole cell recording. Channels open and shut under single channel recording, and changes of $P_{open}$ appear to generate inward rectification. In D172H, the reduction in affinity for spermine is greater when His is protonated at low $pH_i$. The effective valency for spermine is reduced from $3.09{\pm}0.07$ in wild type to $1.95{\pm}0.09$ in D172H at $pH_i$ 6.3. In the presence of dual mutants of Kir2.1, where E224 is also replaced, spermine affinity becomes undetectable. However, channels still show inward rectification and open and shut under hyper- and depolarisation, respectively. We suggest that Kir2.1 channel are able to undergo conformation changes; these changes may be important physiologically in generating inward rectification, the normal parameters of which are set by the binding of polyamines such as spermine.

최신 영상 기법인 MAGiC sequence의 RF coil channel 수 변화에 따른 T1, T2 이완 시간 및 T1, T2 이완율을 측정하여 분석하였고 그에 따른 재현성을 평가하였다. Channel 수가 각각 (1, 8, 16, 32)channel 인 RF coil에 조영제 phantom(1.0, 0.6, 0.2, 0mM)을 위치시키고 MAGiC sequence를 이용하여 T1, T2, R1, R2 map을 획득하였다. 그리고 각각의 channel 수와 농도별로 T1, T2, R1, R2 value 그리고 relaxation rate를 측정하였고 이를 기반으로 각 농도에 따른 Relaxivity를 구하였다. 각각의 coil에서 T1, T2, R1, R2 value를 측정한 결과 T1, R1 value는 coil간의 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 하지만 T2, R2 value는 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 사후분석 결과에서는 T2 value의 경우 1 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 8, 16, 32 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 유의한 차이가 나타났고(p<0.05) 8, 16, 32 channel coil간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). R2 value의 경우도 마찬가지로 1 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 8, 16, 32 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 또한 8 channel coil에서 측정한 결과와 16 channel coil에서 측정한 결과가 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 T1, R1 value는 coil의 channel 수 변화에 따른 차이가 크지 않지만 T2, R2 value는 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 따라서 MAGiC sequence를 이용하여 T2, R2 value를 정량적으로 측정할 경우 재현성을 위해 동일한 channel 수의 coil을 사용해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated the role of L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel in receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation. BayK 8644, a L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel agonist, was shown to increase the RANKLinduced osteoclastogenesis and actin ring formation in mouse bone marrow-dereived macrophage (BMM) culture system. BayK 8644 stimulated RANKL-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) activation, which leads to increased nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1 expression. Taken together, these data indicate that L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel regulates osteoclast formation possibly through ERK- and p38-mediated NFATc1 expression.

본 논문에서 기존에 사용하고 있는 metamorphic high electron transistor (MHEMT)의 채널에 InP를 추가하여 제작 하였다. InP는 In0.53Ga0.47As와 비교하여 낮은 충돌 이온화 계수를 가지고 있다. 그런 특성을 MHEMT의 문제점 중의 하나인 낮은 항복전압의 개선에 이용하였다. 우리는 기존의 MHEMT와 InP 합성 채널 MHEMT의 항복 특성과 주파수 특성을 비교 하였다. 본 논문에서 InP 합성 채널 MHEMT의 on-state와 off-state 항복전압이 각각 2.4와 5.7 V가 측정 되었고 또한 cut-off 주파수와 maximum oscillation 주파수는 각각 160 GHz와 230 GHz가 측정 되었다. 위의 결과는 InP 합성 채널 MHEMT가 밀리미터파 대역의 전력용 소자에 이용되는데 큰 장점을 갖는 소자임을 알 수 있다.

We observe enhanced pH response of solution-gated field-effect transistors (SG-FET) having 1D-2D hybrid channel of vertical grown ZnO nanorods grown on CVD graphene (Gr). In recent years, SG-FET based on Gr has received a lot of attention for biochemical sensing applications, because Gr has outstanding properties such as high sensitivity, low detection limit, label-free electrical detection, and so on. However, low-defect CVD Gr has hardly pH responsive due to lack of hydroxyl group on Gr surface. On the other hand, ZnO, consists of stable wurtzite structure, has attracted much interest due to its unique properties and wide range of applications in optoelectronics, biosensors, medical sciences, etc. Especially, ZnO were easily grown as vertical nanorods by hydrothermal method and ZnO nanostructures have higher sensitivity to environments than planar structures due to plentiful hydroxyl group on their surface. We prepared for ZnO nanorods vertically grown on CVD Gr (ZnO nanorods/Gr hybrid channel) and to fabricate SG-FET subsequently. We have analyzed hybrid channel FETs showing transfer characteristics similar to that of pristine Gr FETs and charge neutrality point (CNP) shifts along proton concentration in solution, which can determine pH level of solution. Hybrid channel SG-FET sensors led to increase in pH sensitivity up to 500%, compared to pristine Gr SG-FET sensors. We confirmed plentiful hydroxyl groups on ZnO nanorod surface interact with protons in solution, which causes shifts of CNP. The morphology and electrical characteristics of hybrid channel SG-FET were characterized by FE-SEM and semiconductor parameter analyzer, respectively. Sensitivity and sensing mechanism of ZnO nanorods/Gr hybrid channel FET will be discussed in detail.
