We study X-ray characteristics of shocked ambient gas of the Galactic core-collapse supernova remnant Cas A. Using 1 Msec observation with Chandra X-ray Observatory, we identify thermal emissions from the shocked ambient gas along the outer boundary of the remnant. Our results show that Cas A is expanding into a circumstellar wind with a wind density n ~ 1 $cm^{-3}$ at the current outer radius of the remnant (~ 3 pc). We suggest that the progenitor star of Cas A, which exploded as a Type~IIb SN, had an initial mass ~16 Msun, and have lost ~10 Msun as a RSG wind. We discuss the implications of our results for the mass loss of massive stars and the resulting supernova type.

A computer simulation of biochemical process was carried out using Macintosh-based BioDesignerTM developed at Bioprocess and Engineering Center(BPEC) of MIT. Based on the assumptions and flask culture experiments, a porcine growth hormone (PGH, Porcine Somatotropin) production process was simulated by a two-stage continuous culture. The economical and sensitivity analyses were evaluated for the scale-up production of PGH. A high return on investment (ROI, 104%/year) suggested that the process be profitable. However, sensitivity analysis indicated that ROI was dependent on the yield of PGH, selling price, dose and the achievement of projected market penetration.

In this paper, a Hardware-In-the-Loop simulator to simulate attitude control of space craft using momentum wheels is developed. The simulator consists of a spherical air bearing system allowing rotation and tilt in all three axes, three momentum wheels for actuation, and an AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System). The simulator processes various types of data in PC104 and wirelessly communicates with a host PC using TCP/IP protocol. A simple low-cost momentum wheel assembly set and its drive electronics are also developed. Several experiments are performed to test the performance of the momentum wheels. For the control performance test of the simulator, a PID controller is implemented. The results of experimental demonstrations confirm the feasibility and validity of the Hardware-In-the-Loop simulator developed in the current study.

편대비행 위성이 공동의 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 편대를 이루는 위성의 각기 다른 초기 오차와 다양한 외란 환경에서도 자세 동기화를 이룰 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 편대비행위성의 자세 동기화를 위하여 비선형 시스템에 대한 준최적 제어기법인 SDRE(State-Dependent Riccati Equation)에 기반한 추적 제어기가 사용되었다. 반작용 휠이 포함된 위성의 자세 동역학이 SDRE 추적 제어기를 구성하는데 이용된다. 이를 Leader/Follower 편대비행 시스템에 적용하며, 기준 자세를 추적하는 Leader 위성의 자세를 Follower 위성이 추적하여 자세 동기화를 이룰 수 있다. MATLAB과 SIMULINK를 이용한 수치해석적 시뮬레이션으로 추적 제어기의 성능을 검증하였으며, 이에 대한 실시간 HIL(Hardware-In-the-Loop) 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다. 무중력 환경을 모사하는 에어베어링시스템과 세 개의 반작용 휠을 장착한 자세제어 HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulator)는 PC104 타입의 임베디드 컴퓨터에서 SIMULINK의 xPC Target을 이용한 실시간 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공하며, 이에 적용되는 SDRE 추적 제어기는 이산화되어 설계되었다. 또한 SDRE 추적 제어기에 대한 안정성을 보장하는 영역이 추정되어 위 추적 제어기가 위성 편대비행에 적합한 자세 동기화 기법임을 보였다.

In this paper, we implement a video conference system, which connects remote PCs. Each system receives video and audio data from devices attached to a PC and compresses them by using CODECs. It sends the compressed data to the opponent. Compared to the existing ones, the proposed system can combine two video streams into a new one. Thus, additional video data can be transferred to the opponent during a call.

Polyester cloth (PC) was selected as a prospective inexpensive substitute separator material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). PC was compared with a traditional Nafion proton exchange membrane (PEM) as an MFC separator by analyzing its physical and electrochemical properties. A single layer of PC showed higher mass transfer (e.g., for $O_2/H^+/ions$) than the Nafion PEM; in the case of oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_o$), a rate of $50.0{\times}10^{-5} cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$ was observed compared with a rate of $20.8{\times}10^{-5}cm/s$ in the Nafion PEM. Increased numbers of PC layers were found to reduce the oxygen mass transfer coefficient. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen ($D_O$) for PC ($2.0-3.3{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$) was lower than that of the Nafion PEM ($3.8{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$). The PC was found to have a low ohmic resistance ($0.29-0.38{\Omega}$) in the MFC, which was similar to that of Nafion PEM ($0.31{\Omega}$); this resulted in comparable maximum power density and maximum current density in MFCs with PC and those with Nafion PEMs. Moreover, a higher average current generation was observed in MFCs with PC ($104.3{\pm}15.3A/m^3$) compared with MFCs with Nafion PEM ($100.4{\pm}17.7A/m^3$), as well as showing insignificant degradation of the PC surface, during 177 days of use in swine wastewater. These results suggest that PC separators could serve as a low-cost alternative to Nafion PEMs for construction of cost-effective MFCs.

The rotational properties of late-type main sequence stars in the solar neighborhood have been investigated. So rotation periods and stellar radii are determined for 104 field stars, 8 Ursa Major Group stars, and 20 Hyades cluster stars. Most of the rotation periods are derived using the Noyes et al. (1984)'s relation between chromospheric activity and rotation period. Stellar radii are calculated by the Stefan law for the nearby stars within 25 pc from the sun. Rotational velocities at equator are determined by the above rotation periods and stellar radii. Their distribution along the (B-V) color shows an upper boundary and an abrupt drop for the stars in the range of 0.4<(B-V)<0.8, as found from the apparent rotational velocity data. Furthermore, it is apparent that there is an lower boundary of rotational velocity. The inclination of rotation axis to line-of-sight is obtained by comparing the rotational velocity at equator with the apparent rotational velocity given by the analysis of the line profiles. For the field stars, it is found that the inclination has no correlation with the galactic lattitude and follows random distribution.

To evaluate the whitening effect of black tea water extract (BT), BT was topically applied to artificially hyperpigmented spots on the back skins of brown guinea-pigs (weight: 450~500 g) induced by 1,500 mJ/$cm^2$ of ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. The test compounds of 30 ${\mu}l$ were applied twice a day, six days a week, for four weeks. The artificially hyperpigmented spots were divided into 5 groups: control (UVB + saline, C), vehicle control [UVB + propylene glycol: ethanol: water (5 : 3 : 2), VC], positive control (UVB + 2% hydroquinone, PC), experimental 1 (UVB + 1% BT), experimental 2 (UVB + 2% BT). After 4-week application, the spots were removed by biopsy punch under anesthetic condition and used as specimens for the histological examination. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of BT were 104 and 91 mg/g, respectively. The electron-donating ability of BT revealed a dose-dependent response, showing the excellent capacities of 86% at 800 ${\mu}g$/ml. The artificially hyperpigmented spots treated with the PC and BT were obviously lightened compared to the C and VC groups. At the fourth week, the melanin indices for the PC and BT groups were significantly lower (p < 0.001) than those of the C and VC groups. In histological examination, PC and BT groups were significantly reduced in the melanin pigmentation, the proliferation of melanocytes and the synthesis of melanosomes compared to the C and VC groups. It is found that BT inhibits the proliferation of melanocytes and synthesis of melanosomes in vivo using brown guinea pigs, thereby showing a definite skin whitening effect.
