본 연구에서는 단층구조 평면형 슬롯 도파관 배열 안테나에 있어서 전력분배기로 이용되는 유도성 포스트가 있는 도파관 π-결합의 특성과 각 포트로 나누어지는 전력의 주파수 특성을 고찰하였다. π-결합은 한 개의 결합창을 통해서 두 개의 도파관으로 전력을 분배하여 결합된 도파관들을 동위상·동진폭으로 급전시킬 수 있다. 전력분배 특성은 Galerkin법을 사용해서 해석했고 유도성 포스트를 붙임으로써 π-결합으로부터의 반사는 -27dB이하로 억제할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A new control strategy for dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is proposed. It is based on synchronous PI control strategy which features fast response. Therefore, the proposed control strategy takes faster action against a voltage sag. Experimental results, executed by DSP, are shown to validate the proposed control strategy.

We show how to evaluate the cubic continued fraction $G(e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$ and $G(-e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$ for n = 4^m, 4^−m, 2 · 4^m, and 2⁻¹ · 4^−m for some nonnegative integer m by using modular equations of degree 9. We then find some explicit values of them.

In this paper, we use theta-function identities involving parameters 𝑙_5,n, 𝑙'_5,n, and 𝑙'_5,4n to evaluate the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions $R(e^{-2{\pi}{\sqrt{n/20}}})$ and $S(e^{-{\pi}{\sqrt{n/5}}})$ for some positive rational numbers n.

In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.

Purpose To compare the sensitivity of tumor detection and inter-observer agreement between acquired diffusion-weighted imaging (aDWI) b2000 and computed DWI (cDWI) b2000 in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Materials and Methods Eighty-eight patients diagnosed with PCa by radical prostatectomy and having undergone pre-operative 3 Tesla-MRI, including DWI (b, 0, 100, 1000, 2000 s/mm²), were included in the study. cDWI b2000 was obtained from aDWI b0, b100, and b1000. Two independent reviewers performed a review of the aDWI b2000 and cDWI b2000 images in random order at 4-week intervals. A region of interest was drawn for the largest tumor on each dataset, and a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score based on PI-RADS v2.1 was recorded. Histologic topographic maps served as the reference standard. Results The study population's Gleason scores were 6 (n = 16), 7 (n = 53), 8 (n = 9), and 9 (n = 10). According to the reviewers, the sensitivities of cDWI b2000 and aDWI b2000 showed no significant differences (for reviewer 1, both 94% [83/88]; for reviewer 2, both 90% [79/88]; p = 1.000, respectively). The kappa values of cDWI b2000 and aDWI b2000 for the PI-RADS score were 0.422 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.240-0.603) and 0.495 (95% CI, 0.308-0.683), respectively. Conclusion cDWI b2000 showed comparable sensitivity with aDWI b2000, in addition to sustained moderate inter-observer agreement, in the detection of PCa.

Some new podands containing phenyl(B), benzyl(Bz), pyridine(Py), quinoline(Q) and naphthalene(Np) as end-groups, and oxygen(O) and sulfur(S) in ether chains as donor atoms have been synthesized. The univalent cation binding characteristics of these podands have been studied by NMR titration and solvent extraction. By NMR titration we have found that the most of podands form 1:1 complexes with $Ag^+$ ion. Especially, the substituted sulfur atoms in ether chains show the effects to enhance the stabilities. We also carried out the extractions of univalent cation picrates including alkaline metal, $Ag^+$, $Tl^+$ and $NH_4{^-}$ ions from aqueous to chloroform layer by using these podands. We found that the extractabilities of $Ag^+$ ion with the quinoline-containing podands such as, $Q_2O_4$, $Q_2O_5$ and $BQO_5$ were 86.8, 86.6 and 48.0% respectively, but the naphthalene-containing podands such as, $Np_2O_4$ and $Np_2O_5$ extracted quite small amount. Otherwise, in cases of $Bz_2O_3S_2$(89.4%), $B_2O_2S_2$(96.8%), $B_2O_3S_2$(58.9%), $Py_2O_2S_2$(58.8%), $Py_2O_3S_2$(42.1%), and $B_2O_4S$(15.0%), interestingly, $Bz_2O_3S_2$ which have sulfur atoms and benzyl groups showed the highest extraction selectivity for $Ag^+$ ion. This result seems due to not only the strong interaction of $Ag^+$ ion with sulfur donors according to the HSAB theory, but also the effective ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interaction between two aromatic end-groups which is enhanced by the flexible methylene spacing group in benzyl groups instead of phenyl groups. The extraction coefficients gave the similar tendency as the extractabilities and the stabilities. From these results, it could be concluded that the predominant factor affected to extraction coefficients is the stabilities, which are strongly influenced by the structures of podands.

Osteosarcoma, the most common primary mesenchymal malignant tumor, usually has bad prognosis in man, with cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) considered to play a critical role in tumorigenesis and drug-resistance. It is known that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is involved in regulation of tumor cell fates, such as proliferation, cell cycling, survival and apoptosis. Whether and how PI3K and inhibitors might cooperate in human osteosarcoma CSCs is still unknown. We therefore evaluated the effects of LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, on the cell cycle and apoptosis of osteosarcoma CSCs in vitro. LY294002 prevented phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) by inhibition of PI3K phosphorylation activity, thereby inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in osteosarcoma CSCs. Further studies also demonstrated that apoptosis induction by LY294002 is accompanied by activation of caspase-9, caspase-3 and PARP, which are involved in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Therefore, our results indicate PI3K inhibitors may represent a potential strategy for managing human osteosarcoma via affecting CSCs.
