This study examined the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of lithium on nickel electrodes in 1 mol $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6$ dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) containing different 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) concentrations as a co-solvent. The DME concentration was found to have a significant effect on the reactions occurring at the electrode. The poor cycleability of the electrodes in the pure PC solution was improved considerably by adding small amounts of DME. This results suggested that the dendritic lithium growth could be suppressed by using co-solvents. After hundredth cycling in the 1 M $LiPF_6$/PC:DME (67:33) solution, almost no dead lithium has been found from the disassembled cell, resulting from suppression of dendritic lithium growth. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that dendritic lithium formation was greatly affected by the ratio of DME. Raman spectroscopy results suggested that the structure of solvated lithium ions is a crucial important factor in suppressing dendritic lithium formation.

The present study investigated the neuroprotective effect of Carpinus tschonoskii MAX and its intracellular protective mechanism on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced oxidative damage in PC12 cells. We found that pretreatment of PC12 cells with C. tschonoskii extract significantly inhibited the cell death induced by 6-OHDA in a dose dependent manner. C. tschonoskii extract decreased 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic events such as chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, the decrease of Bcl-2/Bax ratio, caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. C. tschonoskii extract also reduced generation of 6-OHDA-induced reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. Furthermore, C. tschonoskii extract up-regulated the myocyte enhancer factor 2 D (MEF2D), a critical transcription factor for neuronal survival, and Akt activity, whereas it inhibited the activity of ERK1/2 and JNK. The results suggest that C. tschonoskii extract decreases 6-OHDA-induced oxidative stress and could prevent PC12 cell apoptosis induced by 6-OHDA via the up-regulation of MEF2D and Akt activity, and thus may have application in developing therapeutic agents for Parkinson's disease.

본 연구는 무금속프탈로시아닌 색소계를 이용한 전자사진 감광체의 개발에 관한 것이다. 전하발생물질로서는 각종 형태의 무금속프탈로시아닌을 사용했고, 결합제로서는 각종 폴리머를 사용했으며, 전하이동물질로서는 히드라존유도체나 아연착화합물을 사용했다. 전하발생물질로서 사용한 ${\alpha}-$, ${\beta}-$, x형의 프탈로시아닌중에서는 x형의 무금속프탈로시아닌($x-H_2Pc$)의 경우가 가장 좋은 감도를 보였다. 전하발생물질로서는 $x-H_2Pc$를, 전하수송물질로서는 히드라존유도체를 사용했을 때, 다른 감광체들과 비교하여 73.1%의 높은 $1.50lux{\cdot}sec$의 좋은 감도를 보였다.

이 연구에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트(PC) U형 쉘을 사용하는 PC 모멘트 골조의 일부인 보-기둥 내부접합부의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 실험연구를 수행하였다. 5개의 PC 보-기둥 내부접합부와 1개의 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 내부접합부를 실물 크기로 제작하여 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 변수는 보 주철근비, 보 전단철근 간격, U형 PC쉘과 기둥 모서리의 보강철물 설치 유무이다. 실험 결과, 변수에 관계없이 PC 보-기둥 접합부는 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부와 비교하여 유사한 하중재하능력, 연성능력을 나타냈다. 그러나 주기 하중동안 PC 보-기둥 접합부는 보-기둥 이음부에서 보 주철근의 부착파괴로 인한 미끄러짐 변형과 대각방향의 전단균열로 인하여 심한 강도 저하를 나타냈고, 이로 인해 현장타설 콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부보다 접합부의 강성과 에너지소산능력이 감소되었다.

센서 노드는 사막, 도시, 데이터 센터등과 같이 온도의 변화가 심한 환경에 설치될 수 있다. 특히 온도가 증가하게 되면 설정한 파워에 비해 출력되는 파워가 감쇄되기 때문에 RSSI와 같은 링크 품질의 저하를 초래하며, 패킷 손실이 발생될 수 있다. 무선 환경에서 온도의 변화를 보상하기 위한 노드간에 링크 품질의 변화를 파악하고 일련의 피드백 과정을 통하여 전송파워 제어하는 기존의 방법이 있으나, 추가적인 제어 패킷들이 많이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 온도 변화에 따른 링크품질의 유지를 위하여 T2PC(Temperature-aware Transmission Power Control)를 제안하였다. T2PC는 각 노드에서 자체적으로 얻을 수 있는 온도정보를 이용하여 전송파워를 제어함으로서 감쇄된 랭크 품질을 보상하도록 하였다. 또한 기존의 피드백을 이용한 전송파워 제어 기법보다 적은 컨트롤 패킷으로 패킷 수신율을 향상시켰다.

This paper deals with the implementation of walking for a humanoid robot by ZMP measurement using wireless sensor network. ZMP is measured by FSR sensors which are mounted at each corner of a sole. The wireless sensor network collects the sensor data according and exchanges robot information between host PC and a robot system. The master controller mounted on robot body receives trajectory data from the host PC via sensor network and drives the joint motor based on trajectory data. The time scheduler of the master controller controls the events at the ratio of 100ms. With this configuration, the walking of the humanoid robot KHR-1 could be realized successfully.

Recently, polar code has attracted the attention of many scholars and has been developed as a code technology in coded-cooperative communication. We propose a polar code scheme based on Plotkin structure and quasi-uniform punching (PC-QUP). Then we apply the PC-QUP to coded-cooperative scenario and built to a new coded-cooperative scheme, which is called PCC-QUP scheme. The coded-cooperative scheme based on polar code is studied on the aspects of codeword construction and performance optimization. Further, we apply the proposed schemes to space-time block coding (STBC) to explore the performance of the scheme. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the proposed cooperative PCC-QUP-STBC scheme can obtain a lower bit error ratio (BER) than its corresponding noncooperative scheme.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effects of acupuncture applied at PC6 and SP4 points on heart rate variability (HRV) in normal subjects under mental stress Methods: 24 healthy male subjects were recruited and randomized to a treatment group (12 subjects) or a control group (12 subjects). Both groups performed a mental arithmetic stress test and then acupuncture needles were inserted on PC6 and SP4 for the study group. In the control group, they took sham acupuncture as a control. Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured during the whole study period by FM-150 (digital Holter ECG recorder). Results: In the both groups, low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) was significantly increased after mental stress. Acupuncture induced significant decrease in low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) which were increased after mental stress test. But sham acupuncture induced no changes. Results: In both groups, low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) significantly increased after mental stress. Acupuncture induced significant decrease in low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) which increased after mental stress test. In contrast, sham acupuncture induced no changes. Conclusions: Acupuncture on PC6 and SP4 could be useful to decrease sympathetic activity and balance autonomic nervous system for those who are under stress.

High aspect ratio of nano hairs on a plastic substrate is molded using thermoplstic materials including COC, PP, PC and PMMA. As a template for molding nano hairs, AAO membrane is adopted, which is 60um thick and 13mm in diameter. This membrane has about 109 of through-holes of which diameter is around 200nm. This AAO membrane and the pellet of materials are stacked in the mold and pressed to mold after heating up to be melted. The AAO membrane is removed using KOH to obtain the molded nano hairs. As a result, the diameter of the molded hairs is around 200nm and the length is $2um{\sim}60um$ depending on the molding conditions and materials.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. The temperature dependence of conductivity impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical properties of PDF/PAN electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio were reported for PVDF/PAN based polymer electrolyte films which were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PVDF/PAN plasticizer and Li salt. The conductivity of PVDF/PAN electrolytes was 10$\^$-3/S/cm. 20PVDF5PEN LiCiO$\_$4//PC$\_$10//EC$\_$10/ electrolyte has the better conductivity compared to others. 20PVDF5PANLICIO$\_$4//PC$\_$10//EC$\_$10/ electroylte remains stable up to 5V vs. Li/Li$\^$+/. Steady state current method and ac impedance were used for the determination of transference numbers in PVDF/PAN electrolyte film. The transference number of 20PVDF5PANLiCO$\^$4//PC$\_$10//EC$\_$10/ electrolyte is 0.48.
