  • In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of initial channel estimation (CE) for the multiband-OFDM (MB-OFDM) UWB. The performance of the initial CE can be generally improved as increasing the number of the used preamble symbols. The MB-OFDM specification presents two CE symbols per band in preamble format. The performance of CE estimation with two CE symbols may be satisfied in relatively high sensitivity -77.5 and -72.5 dBm for 200 Mbps and 480 Mbps data rate, respectively, but can not be enough in the degraded 55 Mbps and 110 Mbps sensitivities such as -83.5 and -80.5 dBm, respectively. A method proposed in this paper achieves the performance improvement by extending CE estimation region to packet synchronization (PS) symbols and frame synchronization (FS) symbols including two CE symbols. This can improve the CE performance in the degraded SNR and increase the link-margin by reducing the error rate in physical-layer header. The link-margin improvement obtained by the proposed CE preamble can induce the decrease of error-rate in physical-layer header and increase of communication throughput. Simulation results for the proposed initial method show that the performance is improved by about 0.7 dB at 10-4 bit-error-rate using '4' symbols than initial method using only two CE symbols.

  • This paper describes an efficient hardware design of WiBro security processor (WBSec) supporting for the security sub-layer of WiBro wireless internet system. The WBSec processor, which is based on AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm, performs data oncryption/decryption, authentication/integrity, and key encryption/decryption for packet data protection of wireless network. It carries out the modes of ECB, CTR, CBC, CCM and key wrap/unwrap with two AES cores working in parallel. In order to achieve an area-efficient implementation, two design techniques are considered; First, round transformation block within AES core is designed using a shared structure for encryption/decryption. Secondly, SubByte/InvSubByte blocks that require the largest hardware in AES core are implemented using field transformation technique. It results that the gate count of WBSec is reduced by about 25% compared with conventional LUT (Look-Up Table)-based design. The WBSec processor designed in Verilog-HDL has about 22,350 gates, and the estimated throughput is about 16-Mbps at key wrap mode and maximum 213-Mbps at CCM mode, thus it can be used for hardware design of WiBro security system.

  • In plants, calcium ($Ca^{2+}$)-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are important sensors of $Ca^{2+}$ signals. Previous research demonstrated the expression of the OsCPK11 gene in various tissues at the transcription level, but its developmental and biochemical functions at the protein level were not determined. This study was aimed to identify biochemical characteristics of OsCPK11. GST- OsCPK11 was expressed in E. coli and used for an in vitro kinase assay. Biochemical analyses identified OsCPK11 as a CDPK. OsCPK11 autophosphorylated itself and transphosphorylated histone III-s and MBP as substrates in the presence of $Ca^{2+}$. The activity of the recombinant OsCPK11 was influenced by $Mg^{2+}$, with optimum activity detected at pH 7.0-7.5. OsCPK11 activity was not affected by $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, or $Na^+$ in the presence of a high level of $Ca^{2+}$. Autophosphorylation of OsCPK11 decreased $Ca^{2+}$ sensitivity of OsCPK11. An anti-OsCPK11 rabbit antibody recognized 95.5 kD of GST-OsCPK11, as shown by an immunoblot analysis. These results shed light on the function of OsCPK11 in $Ca^{2+}$-mediated signaling in rice.

  • This paper implemented into hardware SEED which is the KOREA standard 128-bit block cipher. First, at the respect of hardware implementation, we compared and analyzed SEED with AES finalist algorithms - MARS, RC6, RIJNDAEL, SERPENT, TWOFISH, which are secret key block encryption algorithms. The encryption of SEED is faster than MARS, RC6, TWOFISH, but is as five times slow as RIJNDAEL which is the fastest. We propose a SEED hardware architecture which improves the encryption speed. We divided one round into three parts, J1 function block, J2 function block J3 function block including key mixing block, because SEED repeatedly executes the same operation 16 times, then we pipelined one round into three parts, J1 function block, J2 function block, J3 function block including key mixing block, because SEED repeatedly executes the same operation 16 times, then we pipelined it to make it more faster. G-function is implemented more easily by xoring four extended 4 byte SS-boxes. We tested it using ALTERA FPGA with Verilog HDL. If the design is synthesized with 0.5 um Samsung standard cell library, encryption of ECB and decryption of ECB, CBC, CFB, which can be pipelined would take 50 clock cycles to encrypt 384-bit plaintext, and hence we have 745.6 Mbps assuming 97.1 MHz clock frequency. Encryption of CBC, OFB, CFB and decryption of OFB, which cannot be pipelined have 258.9 Mbps under same condition.

  • Objective: Pigs, an ideal biomedical model for human diseases, suffer from about 50% early embryonic and fetal death, a major cause of fertility loss worldwide. However, identifying the causal variant remains a huge challenge. This study aimed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes for the number of mummified (NM) piglets using the imputed whole-genome sequence (WGS) and validate the potential candidate genes. Methods: The imputed WGS was introduced from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) using a multi-breed reference population. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for NM piglets at birth from a Landrace pig populatiGWAS peak located on SSC11: 0.10 to 7.11 Mbp (Top SNP, SSC11:1,889,658 bp; p = 9.98E-13) was identified in cyclin dependent kinase on. A total of 300 Landrace pigs were genotyped by GBS. The whole-genome variants were imputed, and 4,252,858 SNPs were obtained. Various molecular experiments were conducted to determine how the genes affected NM in pigs. Results: A strong GWAS peak located on SSC11: 0.10 to 7.11 Mbp (Top SNP, SSC11:1,889,658 bp; p = 9.98E-13) was identified in cyclin dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) gene, which plays a crucial role in embryonic retardation and lethality. Based on the molecular experiments, we found that Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) was a crucial transcription factor for CDK8, which mediated the effect of CDK8 in the proliferation of porcine ovarian granulosa cells via transforming growth factor beta/small mother against decapentaplegic signaling pathway, and, as a consequence, affected embryo quality, indicating that this pathway may be contributing to mummified fetal in pigs. Conclusion: A powerful imputation-based association study was performed to identify genes associated with NM in pigs. CDK8 was suggested as a functional gene for the proliferation of porcine ovarian granulosa cells, but further studies are required to determine causative mutations and the effect of loci on NM in pigs.

  • Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) can lead to vascular dysfunction and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and arterial diseases. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying CIH-induced vascular dysfunction remain unclear. Herein, this study analyzed the role of aortic smooth muscle calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels in CIH-induced vascular dysfunction. CIH models were established in rats and rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Hemodynamic parameters such as mean blood pressure (MBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured in rats, along with an assessment of vascular tone. NO and ET-1 levels were detected in rat serum, and the levels of ET-1, NO, eNOS, p-eNOS, oxidative stress markers (ROS and MDA), and inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α) were tested in aortic tissues. The Ca2+ concentration in RASMCs was investigated. The activity of BK channels (BKα and BKβ) was evaluated in aortic tissues and RASMCs. SBP, DBP, and MBP were elevated in CIH-treated rats, along with endothelial dysfunction, cellular edema and partial detachment of endothelial cells. BK channel activity was decreased in CIH-treated rats and RASMCs. BK channel activation increased eNOS, p-eNOS, and NO levels while lowering ET-1, ROS, MDA, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in CIH-treated rats. Ca2+ concentration increased in RASMCs following CIH modeling, which was reversed by BK channel activation. BK channel inhibitor (Iberiotoxin) exacerbated CIH-induced vascular disorders and endothelial dysfunction. BK channel activation promoted vasorelaxation while suppressing vascular endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress, thereby indirectly improving CIH-induced vascular dysfunction.

  • 최근 차량의 멀티미디어 장치들이 증가하면서 이 장치들을 광 네트워크로 연결하여 멀티미디어 데이터를 송 수신해서 사용할 수 있는 MOST(Media Oriented Systems Transport) 네트워크를 적용한 차량들이 늘어나고 있다. MOST 네트워크는 최근 자동차 멀티미디어 시스템에 넓게 사용되고 있는 통신 시스템으로서, 동기 및 비동기 데이터를 동시에 전송할 수 있고, 최근에는 150Mbps를 전송할 수 있는 MOST150 네트워크를 이용한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MOST150 네트워크에서 Audio 데이터 입출력을 제어하기 위한 알고리즘을 설계 및 구현하였다. Audio 데이터를 제어하는 방식은 ADC(Analog to Digital Converter)를 통해 Audio 데이터가 들어오면 IOC(IO Companion)를 통해 INIC으로 Audio데이터를 전달한다. INIC은 MOST150 네트워크로 데이터를 전송하고 그렇게 보내진 Audio 데이터를 MOST150 네트워크 내부의 다른 장치에서 INIC을 통해 데이터를 수신하여 DAC(Digital to Analog Converter)를 통해 Audio 장치에서 소리가 나는 것을 테스트하여 정상적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

  • In this paper, we propose an ATM processor suitable for VoDSL subscriber's equipments. The processor is composed of ATM block, AAL protocol block and ATS scheduler, and provides up to 4 VCC which service data and voice traffics on the ATM network. The proposed ATS scheduler can guarantee QoS of the voice traffic and supports multiple AAL2 packet. The ATM processor is manufactured on the 0.35 micron fabrication line of HYNIX semiconductor and provides the maximum data transfer rate of up to 52 Mbps. We implement the LAD, which is the VoDSL subscriber's equipment. The experimental results on the test bed network shows that the proposed hardware scheme successfully services most of the applications of the VoDSL services.
