  • In this paper, we investigate joint power allocation and relay selection (PARS) schemes in non-orthogonal cooperative protocol (NOCP) based cognitive relay networks. Generally, NOCP outperforms the orthogonal cooperative protocol (OCP), since it can provide more transmit diversity. However, most existing PARS schemes in cognitive relay networks focus on OCP, which are not suitable for NOCP. In the context of NOCP, we first derive the joint constraints of transmit power limit for secondary user (SU) and interference constraint for primary user (PU). Then we formulate optimization problems under the aforementioned constraints to maximize the capacity of SU in amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) modes, respectively. Correspondingly, we derive the closed form solutions with respect to different parameters. Numerical results are provided to verify the performance improvement of the proposed PARS schemes.

  • Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), often referred to as equine Cushing's disease, is a common endocrine disorder often diagnosed in older horses. A 13-year-old 460 kg Warmblood gelding showed clinical signs suggestive of PPID, including hypertrichosis, fat redistribution, polyuria and polydipsia (PU/PD), and weight loss. Physical examination, complete blood cell count, and serum chemistry results were normal. However, dexamethasone suppression and plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level tests confirmed PPID. Three months after the confirmed diagnosis, the horse was referred again with symptoms of laminitis. Radiography and venography were performed to evaluate the laminitis severity level. However, the foot condition continued to worsen, and the horse was eventually euthanized. The purpose of this case report is to describe clinical signs and diagnosis of PPID with laminitis.

  • The localizations and morphological characteristics of immunoreactive cells for prolactin(PRL) and growth hormone(GH) antisera were studied with double immunohistochemistry in the adenohypophysis of the Korean native goat. PRL immunoreactive cells(mammotropes) and GH immunoreactive cells(somatotropes) were present in the pars distalis and pars tuberalis, but not in the pars intermedia. A few cells were stained with both PRL and GH antisera (somatomammotropes). The possessional percentages of mammotropes, somatotropes and somatomammotropes were 37.0%, 32.6%, 1.0% in females and 35.6%, 32.6%, 1.1% in males, respectively. Mammotropes were oval or round in shape, and $10{\sim}20{\mu}m{\times}17{\sim}25{\mu}m$ in size. These cells were distributed throughout the pars distalis, but were more abundant on the dorsal part adjacent to the hypophyseal cavity and along the lateral and ventral peripheral regions. Somatotropes were elliptical, triangular or polygonal in shape, and $8{\sim}17{\mu}m{\times}17{\sim}18{\mu}m$ in size. The distribution pattern of somatotropes was similar to that of mammotropes. Some somatomammotropes were intercalated between clusters of mammotropes while the others were dispersed independently among the secretory cells.

  • Relaxed Static Stability(RSS) has been applied to improve flight performance of modern version supersonic jet fighters. Flight control systems are necessary to stabilize an unstable aircraft and to provide adequate handling qualities. Also, flight control systems of modern aircraft employ many safety measure to cope with emergency situations such as a pilot unknown attitude flight conditions of an aircraft in night flight-testing. This situation is dangerous because the aircraft can lose if the pilot not take recognizance of situation. The system called the "Pilot Activated Recovery System" or PARS, provided a pilot initiated automatic maneuver capable of an aircraft recoveries in situations of unusual attitudes, speed and altitude. This paper addresses the concept of PARS with AARS(Automatic Attitude Recovery System), ATCS(Automatic Thrust Control System) and MARES(Minimum Altitude Recovery Estimation System), and this control law is designed by nonlinear control law design process based on model of supersonic jet trainer. And, this control law is verified by real-time pilot evaluation using an HQS(Handling Quality Simulator). The result of evaluation reveals that the these systems support recovery of an aircraft unusual attitude and speed, and improve a safety of an aircraft.

  • Ultrastructures of hypophyseal gonadotropes were studied in the hypophysis of the Korean native goat by electron microscopic immunohistochemistry with antisera to follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and luteinizing hormone(LH). 1. Gonadotropes in the adenohypophysis were observed in the pars distalis and the pars tuberalis, but not in the pars intermedia. 2. FSH cells were round or oval in shape, and contained two types of round secretory granules, i.e., small and large granules. Small secretory granules were electron-dense and 180-275nm in diameter. Large secretory granules were less electron-dense than small granules and 485-555nm in diameter. 3. LH cells were round or oval in shape and also contained two types of secretory granules, the size of which were smaller than that of FSH cells. Small secretory granules were electron-dense and 160-230nm in size. The size of large secretory granules were 315-415nm with moderate electron densities.

  • Passive auto-catalytic recombiners (PARs) are widely used to mitigate a hydrogen hazard. The first step to evaluate the hydrogen safety by PARs is to obtain qualified test data of the PARs for validation of their analytical model. SPARC PAR tests SP8 and SP9 were conducted to evaluate the hydrogen recombination characteristics of a honeycomb-shaped catalyst PAR. To obtain the hydrogen recombination rate from the PAR test data, two methods, Method-1 and Method-2, introduced by the THAI project, were applied. Since a large gradient of hydrogen concentration developed during hydrogen injection can cause a large error in the hydrogen mass obtained by integrating the measured hydrogen concentrations, a gate was installed at the PAR inlet to homogenize hydrogen in the test vessel before the PAR operation in the tests. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code with a PAR model was also applied to evaluate the characteristics of the PAR recombination according to the PAR inlet conditions, and the results were compared with those from Method-1 and Method-2. It was confirmed that the recombination rates from Method-1 require a correction factor to be compatible with results from Method-2 and the CFD simulation in the case of the SPARC-PAR tests.

  • An investigation has been carried out on collision-induced dissociation (CID) in the development of an analytical protocol for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PARs) by ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. Two different considerations were used to choose the optimal CID conditions for complex matrix environmental samples, namely, to determine the highest signal-to-noise (SIN) ratio and the other to eliminate the background interferences originated from complex matrix samples. The PAR content of agricultural soil was measured to estimate overall distribution of PAR in throughout the country, we collected and analyzed 226 soil samples from paddy and upland soil. The average content of total PAR in all samples was 236 ${\mu}g$ $kg^{-1}$, and the range was from 23.3 to 2, 834 ${\mu}g$ $kg^{-1}$. The overall distribution of PAR was found to be closely related to the pollution sources, the size of city and the type of industry.

  • Common finch is a kind of ornamental birds and could not distinguish male and female birds. For sex discrimination of Common finch, we investigated 400 birds of Common finch using the anatomical differences of Pars intermandibularis and traditional methods that currently used at the farms. Both methods have the sex determination accuracy of 48.82 and 46.0 % that the anatomical difference method seems little higher results than the traditional methods. More researches is needed for improving the sex determination accuracy.
