The present paper deals with the liquid-liquid extraction and flat sheet supported liquid membrane studies of Pd(II) separation from nitric acid medium using a novel synthesized ligand, namely, N,N,N',N'-tetraethyl-2,2-thiodiethanthiodiglycolamide (TETEDGA). The effect of various diluents and stripping reagents on the extraction of Pd(II) was studied. The liquid-liquid extraction studies showed complete extraction of Pd(II) in ~ 5 min. The influence of nitric acid and TETEDGA concentration on the distribution of Pd(II) has been investigated. The increase in nitric acid concentration resulted in increase in extraction of Pd(II). Stoichiometry of the extracted species was found to be $Pd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}TETEDGA$ by slope analysis method. Extraction studies with SSCD solution showed negligible uptake of Pt, Cr, Ni, and Fe, thus showing very high selectivity and extractability of TETEDGA for Pd(II). The flat sheet supported liquid membrane studies showed quantitative transport of Pd(II), ~99%, from the feed ($3M\;HNO_3$) to the strippant (0.02 M thiourea diluted in $0.4M\;HNO_3$) using 0.01 M TETEDGA as a carrier diluted in n-dodecane. Extraction time was ~160 min. Parameters such as feed acidity, TETEDGA concentration in membrane phase, membrane porosity etc. were optimized to achieve maximum transport rate. Permeability coefficient value of $2.66{\times}10^{-3}cm/s$ was observed using TETEDGA (0.01 M) as carrier, at 3 M, $HNO_3$ feed acidity across $0.2{\mu}m$ PTFE as membrane. The membrane was found to be stable over five runs of the operation.

폼페병(PD, Pompe disease), 2형 당원축적병(Glycogen storage disease type II)은 보통염색체 열성 질환으로 용해소체 효소인 acid maltase (acid α-glucosidase, GAA) 결핍으로 인한 대사근육병이다. 한 종류의 효소 결핍에 의한 질환이지만, GAA의 결핍정도와 유전자형에 따라 임상양상이 다르게 나타난다. 발병 시기에 따라 크게 영아형 폼페병(infantile onset Pompe disease, IOPD), 성인형 폼페병(late onset Pompe disease, LOPD)으로 나눌 수 있다. 저자들은 신생아기 때 호흡곤란증후군을 진단받고 치료받은 후 잠시 혈중 CK 증가가 확인되었으나 다른 임상증상 없이 경과 관찰 후 호전되었고, LSD 스크리닝 검사 결과 상 GAA 수치가 0.58 umol/h/L로 감소되어 있음을 확인한 1례에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 해당 환아를 PD 의증으로 고려하여 시행한 GAA enzyme essay 상 total GAA level은 16.2 nmol/2hr/mg protein, GAA with acarbose level은 2.0 nmol/2hr/mg protein, acarbose/total level의 비율은 12.0%로 낮은 수치를 확인하였다. 환아의 유전자 검사 상 exon #4에서 두개의 likely pathogenic heterozygous mutation인 c.752C>T (p.Ser251Leu), c.761C>T (p.Ser254Leu), exon #12에서 heterozygous mutation인 c.1726G>A (p.Gly576Ser), exon #15에서 heterozygous mutation인 c.2065G>A (p.Glu689 Lys)이 확인되었다. 환아의 7세 오빠는 유전자 검사에서 정상으로 확인되었고, 아버지는 환아에서 동일하게 확인된 exon #12에서 heterozygous mutation인 c.1726G>A(p.Gly576Ser), exon #15에서 heterozygous mutation인 c.2065G>A (p.Glu689Lys)이, 어머니에서는 exon #4에서 두 개의 likely pathogenic heterozygous mutation인 c.752C>T (p.Ser251Leu), c.761C>T (p.Ser254Leu)가 확인되었다. Pathogenic한 유전자 두개가 있으면 보통 환자로 인식될 수 있으나 이 환아에서처럼 pathogenic한 유전자 두 개가 있더라도 cis 형태로 하나처럼 움직인 경우 PD 환자가 아니라 carrier 일 수 있다는 것을 경험한 증례였다. 이에 PD 환아의 유전검사 결과를 해석할 시 pathogenic variant 유전자가 두 개일지라도 혹시 cis 형태로 하나의 유전자인지를 확인하여, pseudodeficiency나 potential LOPD carrier일 수 있는 점을 고려하며 여러 임상 양상을 취합하여 진료를 시행하는 것이 필요하다.

본 논문은 Doherty 증폭기의 높은 효율을 유지하면서 선형성을 개선하기 위해 아날로그 전치왜곡기를 가진 Doherty 증폭기를 보여준다. 3차 전치왜곡기는 전치왜곡기와 Doherty 증폭기에서 3차와 5차 혼변조 성분이 이루는 위상차를 같게 만들어 3차뿐만 아니라 5차 혼변조 왜곡신호를 동시에 상쇄시킨다. 이것은 전치왜곡기에서 위상조절 왜곡발생기를 이용하여 3차와 5차의 위상차를 독립적으로 조절함으로서 이루어진다. 또한, 간단하고 정확한 위상 측정 장치를 이용하여 왜곡발생기의 위상조절 능력을 실험적으로 확인한다. 실험적인 검증을 위해, 3차 전치왜곡기는 2.11-2.17 GHz의 WCDMA 대역에서 180-W Doherty 증폭기와 구현된다. 투톤 실험결과는 3차와 5차 혼변조 왜곡성분이 크게 상쇄될 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 4-carrier WCDMA 응용에서도 넓은 출력 범위에서 상당한 ACLR이 개선된다. 이 기법은 간단한 구조, 작은 크기, 세 가지의 조절 파라미터 때문에 가격 효율적이며 편리하다.

The purpose of the present study was to kinetically investigate the carrier-mediated uptake in the hepatic transport of organic anions, and to simulate the 'in vivo counter-transport' phenomena, using kinetic model which was developed in this study. The condition that the mobility of carrier-ligand complex is greater than that of free carrier is not essential for the occurrence of 'counter-transport' phenomenon. To examine the inhibitory effects on the initial uptake of organic anions by the liver, it is necessary to judge whether the true counter-transport mechanism (trans-stimulation) is working or not. Effects of bromophenol blue (BPB) or bromosulfophthalein (BSP) on the plasma disappearance curves of a 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) were then kinetically analyzed based on a flow model, in which the ligand is eliminated only from the peripheral compartment (liver compartment). Moreover, 'in vivo counter-transport' phenomena were simulated based on the perfusion model which incorporated the carrier-mediated transport and the saturable intracellular binding. The 'in vivo counter-transport' phenomena in the hepatic transport of a organic anions were well demonstrated by incorporating the carrier-mediated process. However, the 'in vivo counter-transport' phenomena may be also explained by the enhancement of back diffusion due to the displacement of intracellular binding. In conclusion, one should be more cautious in interpreting data obtained from so-called 'in vivo counter-transport' experiments.

Partially-depleted Silicon on insulator metal-oxide-semiconductor field- effect transistors (PD-SOI MOSFETs) with Silicon-germanium (SiGe) layer is investigated. This structure uses SiGe layer to reduce the kink effect in the floating body region near the bottom channel/buried oxide interface. Among many design parameters influencing the performance of the device, Ge composition is presented most predominant effects, simulation results show that kink effect is reduced with increase the Ge composition. Because the bandgap of SiGe layer is reduced at higher Ge composition, the hole current between body and SiGe layer is enhanced.

In this paper, the structure of OFDM system is studied, and causes of inter carrier interference (ICI) are analyzed. Based on analysis, this paper shows a technique to prevent a distortion due to nonlinearity of high Power amplifier. The proposed scheme is a predistorter for high power amplifier linearization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system used in wireless local area network(WLAN). This is verified by comparing BER characteristics of OFDM system, between used PD and not used PD.

The interaction between whey carrier protein $\beta$-lactoglobulin type A and B (BLG-A and -B) and 2,2'-bipyridin n-hexyl dithiocarbamato Pd(II) nitrate (BPHDC-Pd(II)), a new heavy metal complex designed for anticancer property, was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy combined with chemometry and circular dichroism (CD) techniques. A strong fluorescence quenching reaction of BPHDC-Pd(II) to BLG-A and -B was observed. Hence, BPHDC-Pd(II) complex can be bound to both BLG-A and -B, and quench the fluorescence spectra of the proteins. The quenching constant was determined using the modified Stern-Volmer equation. The binding parameters were evaluated by fluorescence quenching method. The results of binding study provided evidences presence of two and three sets of binding sites on the BLG-B and -A, respectively, for BPHDC-Pd(II) complex. Using fluorescence spectroscopy and chemometry, the ability of BLG-A and -B to form an intermediate upon interaction with BPHDC-Pd(II) complex was assessed. CD studies displayed that under influence of different concentrations of BPHDC-Pd(II) complex, the regular secondary structure of BLG-B had no significant changes, whereas for BLG-A a transition from $\alpha$-helix to $\beta$-structure was appeared. The results for both of BLG-A and -B displayed that BPHDC-Pd(II) complex can induce a conformational transition from the native form to an intermediate state with a slightly opened conformation, which is detectable with chemometry analyses.

Hydrogen as a high-quality and clean energy carrier has attracted renewed and ever-increasing attention around the world in recent years, mainly due to developments in fuel cells and environmental pressures including climate change issues. In this processes for hydrogen production from fossil fuels, separation and purification is a critical technology. $(Ni_{60}-Nb_{40})_{95}-Pd_5$ alloy ingots were prepared by arc-melting the mixture of pure metals in an Ar atmosphere. Melt-spun ribbons were produced by the single-roller melt-spinning technique in an Ar atmosphere. Amorphous structure and thermal behavior were characterized by XRD and DSC. The permeability of the $(Ni_{60}-Nb_{40})_{95}-Pd_5$ amorphous alloy membrane was characterized by hydrogen permeation experiments in the temperature range 623 to 773 K and pressure of 2 bars. The maximum hydrogen permeability was $3.54{\times}10^{-9}[mol{\cdot}m^{-1}s^{-1}{\cdot}pa^{-1/2}]$ at 773 K for the $(Ni_{60}-Nb_{40})_{95}-Pd_5$ amorphous alloy.
