This paper presents an ultra-low partial discharge(PD) measurement system that has been accepted as a non-destructive method to estimate electrical insulation of low-voltage electric devices. The PD measurement system is composed of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. A shielding box is used to make a better condition against electromagnetic interference. A low cut-off frequency of the coupling network was 1MHz(-3 dB). Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 11.4mV/pC. In an application experiment on a low-voltage induction motor(5HP), we could detect 0.77pC level of partial discharge pulse at the applied voltage of AC 664 V$_{peak}$.

측면주사소나 영상의 화질은 소나 운용 주파수의 영향을 받는다. 저주파 측면주사소나 장비로 얻는 영상은 저화질 영상이며, 잡음이 화질 저하의 요소 중 하나가 된다. 균일한 잡음을 가정하는 광학 영상과는 달리. 측면주사소나 데이터의 잡음은 해양 환경(장비 소음, 신호 간섭 등)에 의해 발생한다. 또한 소나 신호의 전달 손실을 보상하고자 시간변환이득(Time-Varied Gain, TVG)을 수행하며, 이로 인해 측면주사소나 영상에 비균일 잡음이 생성된다. 본 논문에서는 측면주사소나 영상에 포함된 비균일 잡음을 제거하는 구조적 희소성에 기반한 압축 센싱 알고리즘 (Structural Sparsity based Compressive Sensing, SSCS)을 제안한다. 영상의 구조적 특징 도메인에서 국부적 및 비국부적 모델링을 동시에 구현하여 계수의 희소성을 보장하면서 비국부적 자가 유사성을 강화한다. 그리고 잡음의 비균일성을 고려하여 비국부적 모델링을 보상한다. 다양한 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증한다.

We proposed several systems for 1Giga bit Modem. The first, Binary ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) system has a high speed shutter transmitter and no IF(Intermediate Frequency) receiver only by symbol synchronization. The advantage of proposed system is that circuitry is very simple without IF process. The disadvantage of proposed system are that line spectrum occurs interference to other channels, and enhancement to 4-level system is impossible due to its large SNR degradation. The second, Binary phase modulation system has a high speed shutter transmitter and IF-VCO(IF-Voltage Controlled Oscillator) control by base-band phase rotation. Polarity of shutter window is changed by the binary data. The window should be narrow same as above ASK. The advantage of proposed system is which error rate performance is superior. The disadvantage of proposed system are that Circuitry is more complex, narrow pull-in range of receiver caused by VCO and spectrum divergence by the non-linear amplifier. The third, 4-QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)system has a nyquist pulse transmitter and IF-VCO control by symbol clock. The advantage of proposed system are that signal frequency band is a half of 1GHz, reliable pull-in of VCO and possibility of double speed transmission(2Gbps) by keeping 1GHz frequency-band. The disadvantage of proposed system are that circuit complexity of pulse shaping and spectrum divergence by the non-linear amplifier.

준동기 이동 위성 리턴링크에서 MC-CDMA와 MC-DS/CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 각 사용자 단말의 리턴링크간 동기가 수 칩 이내인 준동기를 고려하였다. MC-DS/DMA와 MC-DS/CDMA의 송신 신호는 정포락선 신호가 아니기 때문에 송신 증폭기의 비선형성에 의한 왜곡을 받게 된다. MC-CDMA 시스템은 Walsh 코드를 이용해 주파수 영역 확산을 하기 때문에 증폭기 입력신호레벨이 MC-DS/CDMA 시스템에 비해서 낮게 되어 사용자 수가 1명인 경우 증폭기 입력 backoff가 0dB일 때는 2.3dB, 증폭기 입력 backoff가 6dB일 때는 1dB 성능이 우수하였다. 그러나 준동기 AWGN 채널에서 사용자 수가 증가하게 되면 MC-DS/CDMA 시스템이 많은 수의 부 반송파를 사용하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 비해서 간섭량이 적어 성능이 매우 우수하였다.

Tumor cell morphology is closely related to its migratory behaviors. An active tumor cell has a highly irregular shape, whereas a spherical cell is inactive. Thus, quantitative analysis of cell features is crucial to determine tumor malignancy or to test the efficacy of anticancer treatment. We use 3D time-lapse phase-contrast microscopy to analyze single cell morphology because it enables to observe long-term activity of living cells without photobleaching and phototoxicity, which is common in other fluorescence-labeled microscopy. Despite this advantage, there are image-level drawbacks to phase-contrast microscopy, such as local light effect and contrast interference ring. Therefore, we first corrected for non-uniform illumination artifacts and then we use intensity distribution information to detect cell boundary. In phase contrast microscopy image, cell is normally appeared as dark region surrounded by bright halo ring. Due to halo artifact is minimal around the cell body and has non-symmetric diffusion pattern, we calculate cross sectional plane which intersects center of each cell and orthogonal to first principal axis. Then, we extract dark cell region by analyzing intensity profile curve considering local bright peak as halo area. Finally, we calculated the Fourier descriptor that morphological characteristics of cell to classify tumor cells into active and inactive groups. We validated classification accuracy by comparing our findings with manually obtained results.

무선 통신 시스템에서 전력 증폭기는 신호를 원거리로 송신하기 위해 필수적인 부품이다. 일반적으로 전력증폭기는 비선형 특성을 가지고 있는 소자이며, 입력 전력이 높을수록 심한 비선형 특성을 보인다. 또한 이러한 비선형 왜곡은 신호품질을 저하시키고 인접 채널 간섭을 유발하게 된다. 전력증폭기의 비선형 특성을 선형화하기 위한 다양한 기술들이 알려져 있는데, 그 중에서 디지털 전치왜곡 방식이 디지털 신호처리를 이용하여 효과적으로 전력증폭기를 선형화 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만, 전력 증폭기가 포화 영역에서 동작 할 경우 심한 비선형 왜곡의 영향으로 전력증폭기의 선형화가 제대로 이루어지지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 포화 영역에서 디지털 전치왜곡 성능개선을 다루는데, 계수를 구하는 적응형 알고리즘에서 왜곡이 심한 포화영역의 입력 신호에서는 적응형 알고리즘을 동작시키지 않고 비포화 영역의 신호에서는 알고리즘을 동작시킴으로써 전치왜곡의 성능을 개선하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 MATLAB을 사용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하였고, 기존의 디지털 전치왜곡 방식과의 비교 분석도 수행하였다.

Background: Brennan's rodent paw incision model has been extensively used for understanding mechanisms underlying postoperative pain in humans. However, alterations of physiological parameters like blood pressure and heart rate, or even feeding and drinking patterns after the incision have not been documented as yet. Moreover, though eicosanoids like prostaglandins and leukotrienes contribute to inflammation, tissue levels of these inflammatory mediators have never been studied. This work further investigates the antinociceptive effect of protein C after intra-wound administration. Methods: Separate groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were used for quantitation of cyclooxygenase (COX) activity and leukotriene B4 level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, as well as estimation of cardiovascular parameters and feeding and drinking behavior after paw incision. In the next part, rats were subjected to incision and $10{\mu}g$ of protein C was locally administered by a micropipette. Both evoked and non-evoked pain parameters were then estimated. Results: COX, particularly COX-2 activity and leukotriene B4 levels increased after incision. Hemodynamic parameters were normal. Feeding and drinking were affected on days 1 and 3, and on day 1, respectively. Protein C attenuated non-evoked pain behavior alone up to day 2. Conclusions: Based upon current observations, Brennan's rodent paw incision model appears to exhibit a prolonged period of nociception similar to that after surgery, with minimal interference of physiological parameters. Protein C, which is likely converted to activated protein C in the wound, attenuated the guarding score, which probably represents pain at rest after surgery in humans.

Recently, pest-resistant living modified (LM) crops developed using RNA interference (RNAi) technology have been imported into South Korea. However, the potential adverse effects of unintentionally released RNAi-based LM crops on non-target species have not yet been reported. Coccinella septempunctata, which feeds on aphids, is an important natural enemy insect which can be exposed to the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) produced by RNAi-based LM plants. To assess the risk of ingestion of Snf7 dsRNA by C. septempunctata, we first identified the species through morphological analysis of collected insects. A method for species identification at the gene level was developed using a specific C. septempunctata 12S rRNA. Furthermore, an experimental model was devised to assess the risk of Snf7 dsRNA ingestion in C. septempunctata. Snf7 dsRNA was mass-purified using an effective dsRNA synthesis method and its presence in C. septempunctata was confirmed after treatment with purified Snf7 dsRNA. Finally, the survival rate, development time, and dry weight of Snf7 dsRNA-treated C. septempunctata were compared with those of GFP and vATPase A dsRNA control treatments, and no risk was found. This study illustrates an effective Snf7 dsRNA synthesis method, as well as a high-concentration domestic insect risk assessment method which uses dsRNA to assess the risk of unintentional released of LM organisms against non-target species.

An efficient molecular breeding technique for coffee plants was developed. In order to produce transgenic coffee plants, we established a model transformation procedure via Agrobacterium method. We isolated a gene encoding a protein possessing 7-methylxanthine methyltransferase (theobromine synthase) activity, and it was designated as Coffea arabica 7-methylxanthine methyl transferase; CaMXMT. Using this clone, we produced transgenic coffee plants, in which the expression of CaMXMT is suppressed by double-stranded RNA interference (RNAi) andlor anti-sense methods. The expression pattern of CaMXMT was analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR method and we found that, in the transformed cell lines, the level of transcripts were obviously suppressed by RNAi. The endogenous level of caffeine in the transformed cells was dramatically reduced in comparison with non-transformed cells.
