  • Hydraulic engineers and scientists working on river restoration recognize the need for a deeper understanding of natural streams as a complex and dynamic system, which involves not only abiotic elements(flow, sediments) but also biotic components. From this point of view, the role played by riverine vegetation dynamics and flow conditions becomes essential. Hydro-mechanic interaction between flow and flexible plants covering a river bed is studied in this paper and some previous works are discussed. Measurements of turbulence and flow resistance in vegetated open channel were performed using rigid and flexible tube. Measuring detailed turbulent velocity profiles within and above submerged and flexible stems allowed to distinguish different turbulent regimes. Some interesting relationships were obtained between the velocity field and the deflected height of the plants, such as a reduced drag coefficient in the flexible stems. Turbulent intensities and Reynolds stresses were measured showing two different regions : above and inside the vegetation domain. In flexible vegetated open channel, the maximum values of turbulent intensities and Reynolds stresses appear above the top of canopy. Method to predict a flow resistance in flexible vegetated open channel is developed by modifying an analytical model proposed by Klopstra et al. (1997). Calculated velocity profiles and roughness values correspond well with flume experiments. These confirm the applicability of the presented model for open channel with flexible vegetation. The new method will be verified in the real vegetated conditions in the near future. After these verifications, the new method should be applied for nature rehabilitation projects such as river restorations.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A wiretap channel I is one of the channel models that was proved to achieve unconditional security. However, it has been an open problem in realizing such a channel model in a practical network environment. The paper is committed to solve the open problem by introducing a novel approach for building wiretap channel I in which the eavesdropper sees a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with error probability p while themain channel is error free. By taking advantage of the feedback and low density parity check (LDPC) codes, our scheme adds randomness to the feedback signals from the destination for keeping an eavesdropper ignorant; on the other hand, redundancy is added and encoded by the LDPC codes such that a legitimate receiver can correctly receive and decode the signals. With the proposed approach, unconditionallysecure communication can be achieved through interactive communications, in which the legitimate partner can realize the secret information transmission without a pre-shared secret key even if the eavesdropper has better channel from the beginning.

  • 본 연구에서는 OpenFOAM에서 제공하는 소스 코드를 이용하여 폭-수심비가 2인 직사각형 개수로 흐름에 대해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 여과된 연속 방정식과 운동량 방정식을 해석하기 위하여 큰 와 수치모의를 이용하였고, 비등방성 잔여 응력항을 산정하기 위하여 Smagorinsky 모형(1963)을 사용하였다. LES 모형을 Tominaga et al. (1989)의 폭-수심비가 2인 실험수로에 적용하고 평균흐름 및 난류량을 비교하였다. 추가로 Nezu and Rodi (1985)의 실험 결과와 Shi et al. (1999)의 LES 모의 결과와 함께 비교를 수행하였다. 비교 결과 평균흐름 및 난류량 모두 기존 실험 및 모의 결과를 잘 재현하는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 이차흐름 분포도에서 측벽과 자유수면의 접합부에서 발생하는 내부이차흐름이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 수심방향 난류강도의 경우 측벽과 바닥벽에서 난류강도의 등치선도가 측벽과 바닥벽의 접합부 방향으로 편향되는 현상을 확인하였다.

  • 개수로의 흐름 특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소 중 하나는 흐름의 저항을 나타내는 마찰속도와 마찰계수이다. 하지만 개수로 흐름에서는 그 중요성에도 불구하고 자유수면과 단면의 복잡함, 다양한 수리변수들에 의해서 완벽한 해석이 매우 어렵다. 마찰계수에 대한 연구는 경험적 실험결과에 의존하고 있으므로 손쉬운 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 엔트로피 개념을 활용하여 새로운 마찰계수 산정 공식을 제안하고 공식의 정확성을 증명하기 위해서 사다리꼴과 사각단면을 가진 개수로 실험 자료를 사용하였다. 본 공식의 장점은 무엇보다도 개수로에서 정확한 값을 알기 어려운 에너지 경사 항을 사용하지 않는 것에 있다. 그리고 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 높은 정확성을 가진 마찰계수 f의 산정이 가능함을 보여주었다.

  • 개수로의 난류흐름을 VOF(Volume of Fluid)기법을 채용한 RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식 모형을 사용하여 수치모의할 때 벽면함수의 거칠기를 산정하기 위해 고려해야 하는 점들을 연구하였다. 거친 벽면상의 흐름을 위한 벽면함수의 거칠기 상수(roughness constant)는 관수로 흐름의 실험을 통하여 얻어진 값을 사용한다. 그러나 개수로 흐름에서는 이 거칠기 상수가 Froude 수에 따라 변화하므로 이를 고려할 수 있어야 하며, 개수로에서 광범위하게 사용되는 Manning 조도계수에 상응하는 벽면 거칠기 높이(roughness height)를 산정하여 사용할 수 있어야 있다. 본 연구에서는 모형에 입력되는 벽면함수의 거칠기 높이와 Manning 조도계수 사이의 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 수치모형의 특성이 고려되고 Manning 조도계수의 함수로 표현되는 유효 거칠기 높이 산정식을 제안하였다.

  • The USIM(universal subscriber identity module)-unlock introducing in July 1, 2008 might be led to a significant change that mobile service provider's dominance is considerably dispersed to the handset manufacturer and distributor. Under USIM-unlock environment, mobile service provider, handset manufacturer, and distributor have to make their decisions on their handset distribution channel strategies: the closed distribution channel strategy or the open distribution channel strategy. The change of distribution channel strategy between members in distribution channel can be understood as a matter of strategy choice, and we have developed a theoretical model and analyzed how to make a decision for the member's optimal distribution strategy based on 3-person game model between members of mobile phone distribution channel, under both of '1 subscriber-1 handset' and '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumptions. Under '1 subscriber-1 handset' assumption, the closed strategy controlled by mobile service provider is all players' optimal solution because the maximum size of the mobile phone market is limited by subscribers. But, as total expected profit by the handset and distribution subsides is a deficit, mobile service provider have to choose the open strategy and consider the conversion to MNO(mobile network operator). Under '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumption, mobile service provider is trying to find the way how to lock-in its service and mobile phone and how to maximize ARPU(average revenue per unit), while handset manufacturer and distributor have to look for the way how to maximize the mobile phone market using their own marketing efforts, because it is expected that total mobile handset demand for the open market is bigger than demand for the closed market under '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumption.

  • The effect of cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressant, on human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) channel as it is expressed in human embryonic kidney cells was studied using a whole-cell, patch-clamp technique. CsA inhibited the HERG channel in a concentration-dependent manner, with an $IC_{50}$ value and a Hill coefficient of $3.17{\mu}m$ and 0.89, respectively. Pretreatment with cypermethrine, a calcineurin inhibitor, had no effect on the CsA-induced inhibition of the HERG channel. The CsA-induced inhibition of HERG channels was voltage-dependent, with a steep increase over the voltage range of the channel opening. However, the inhibition exhibited voltage independence over the voltage range of fully activated channels. CsA blocked the HERG channels predominantly in the open and inactivated states rather than in the closed state. Results of the present study suggest that CsA acts directly on the HERG channel as an open-channel blocker, and it acts independently of its effect on calcineurin activity.
