In this paper, Finger-Toe Index (FTI) is proposed as an analytic parameter for the characterization of arterial vessel. Different from the currently being employed pulse wave velocity (PWV) information of the volume pulse wave measured from 4 arterial channels, the proposed FTI uses the ratio of the shorter of the two up-stroke time of PPG from fingers ($UT_{finger}$) and that of PPG (Photoplethysmography) from toes ($UT_{toe}$). To verify the usefulness of the proposed method, Finger-Toe Indexes were derived from the volume pulse waves acquired from 50 people under examination aged from 12 to 81 years old, and they were then compared with blood pressure ankle-brachial index (ABI). It was successfully demonstrated that the arterial stiffness can be estimated with respect to age and FTI is more strongly correlated with the pulse transit time than ABI. From the regression analysis, we also found that FTI has significant correlation PWV for a quantitative index of arterial stiffness and provides more accurate information than ABI for the characterization of arterial vessel.

주파수 위상 간섭계를 이용한 전기장 재구성 방법(SPIDER)을 이용하여 Kerr 렌즈 모드록킹된 티타늄 사파이어 레이저 공진기에서 생성된 펨토초 영역의 극초단 펄스의 펄스폭과 위상을 측정하였다. 8cm 길이의 SF10 매질과 마이켈슨형의 시간지연암(arm)을사용하여 주파수 층밀림(shearing)을 구현하고 제2종 BBO결정으로 합주파수 발생을 시켜 SPIDER 장치를 구성 하였다 얻어진 층밀림 주파수 간섭 신호로부터 SPIDER 알고리즘을 이용하여 펄스의 전기장을 복원하였다 SPIDER의 정확도를 확인하기 위해 SPIDER에서 얻은 펄스로 재구성한 간섭형 자체상솬신호를 직접 측정한 간섭형 자체상관 신호와 비교하였다. SPIDER를 티타늄 사파이어 레이저 공진기에 적용하여 19fs의 펄스폭을 얻었으며 sech$^2$나 가우시안으로 가정한 간섭형 자체상관의 결과는 이보다 작은 값으로 나타나서 펨토초 레이저의 정확한 펄스폭 측정을 위해서는 펄스모양의 가정이 필요없는 SPIDER 방법이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

리튬이차전지의 수요가 소형 휴대용 전자기기에서 중대형 전기자동차와 에너지저장장치로 변화함에 따라, 요구되는 전지 특성도 크게 달라지고 있다. 10년 이상의 장기 신뢰성, 팩 수준의 안전성, 가격 경쟁력 확보 등 기존 소형 전지보다 크게 강화된 요구 조건뿐만 아니라, 고출력 특성도 함께 필요로 한다. 그런데, 출력을 측정하기 위해서는 전압과 전류가 동시에 측정 및 제어되어야 하기 때문에, 기존의 단위셀 용량 측정보다 훨씬 어렵다. 또한, 측정 방법의 선택뿐만 아니라 출력유지시간, 충전상태(State-of-Charge, SOC), Cut-off 조건, 측정온도 등의 측정 조건에 따라서도 그 측정값이 크게 달라지는 경향이 있다. 본 논문에서는 HPPC (Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization)법, J-pulse(Japan Electric Vehicle Association Standards, JEVS D 713)법, 정출력 측정법(Constant Power Measurement)의 측정 원리 및 실제 실험에 어떻게 적용해야 하는지 설명하고, HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle)용 단위셀을 이용해 출력법간 측정 결과를 비교 분석한다.

This paper proposed an analyzable parameter and its analytic method to provide more accurate information than currently employed 4 channels system which uses pulse wave velocity (PWV) information of the volume pulse wave measured from 4 arterial channels for the characterization of arterial vessel. In order to verify the volume pulse waves on 4 sites were simultaneously acquired subjects aged from 12 to 81 years old. and the proposed parameters were extracted from time (UT) was then compared with blood pressure. Then, the regression analyses were done relationships among the proposed parameter and others, such as aging, pulse transit time pressure (BP). The followings are the results of linear regression analysis of the proposed parameter for total 50 normal subjects. We selected any two subjects (58 years and 27 years) and measured PPG (photoplethysmogram) and BP of before and after exercise. The coefficient of correlations between BP and UT observed was -0.928 for 50 years subject, and -0.922 for 20 years subject. For total 50 normal subjects, in case of correlation between the pulse transit time and BP, the result showed -0.170 on left side and -0.233 on right side, and the coefficient value of correlation between the pulse transit time and UT was -0.607 on left side and -0.510 on right side. UI is strongly correlated with the pulse transit time than BP. Hence, we believe that the proposed parameter is related with the index of arterial stiffness.

Ultrashort pulse laser drilling of polycarbonate track-etched membrane (pTEM) material was used to fabricate a mouse embryo cell trapping device. Holes with a diameter of $2{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ were fabricated on a $10{\mu}m$ thick membrane using a femtosecond laser with a 150 fs pulse width and 775 nm wavelength and multiple-pulse irradiation. In cell trapping tests, the overall cell occupancy of the machined holes in the fabricated pTEM was found to be more than 80%. The results of a single pulse and multiple pulse irradiation were compared in terms of the surface quality. It was generally found that a single pulse with high energy was less desirable than irradiation with multiple pulses of lower energy.

The sciaenid species, which has swimbladder, generates sounds by vibrating in its length wards when spawning or getting stimulus from something else. This research analyzed on sound frequency characteristics relatives to their swimbladder length of three sciaenid species, yellow croaker(Larimichthys polyactis), brown croaker(Miichthys miiuy), and white flower croaker(Nibea albiflora). As results, the dominant frequency for yellow croaker ranged over 38.08 to 141.60Hz in wide frequency band, and the averaged pulse duration expressed in $280.3{\pm}156.0ms$. For brown croaker, the dominant frequency ranged in 49.80 to 59.57Hz, and the averaged pulse duration was $129.1{\pm}36.9ms$. Moreover, the dominant frequency of white flower croaker ranged in 73.24 to 86.91Hz, and the averaged pulse duration was $88.0{\pm}15.9ms$, it has shorter pulse duration than any two species. Therefore, the dominant frequency relatives to swimbladder length of sciaenidae showed that it had widely resonant characteristics and long pulse duration as in shorter swimbladder length. Additionally, for white flower croaker, we could confirm their behavior and sounds in response to production of recorded sounds using underwater speaker.

Ni $TiO_2$ nano composite coatings were fabricated by using pulse current electrodeposition technique at 100 Hz pulse frequency with a constant 50% pulse duty cycles and reference was taken with respect to the direct current electrodeposition. The properties of the composite coatings were investigated by using SEM, XRD, Wear test and Vicker's microhardness test. XRD patterns of pulse deposited composite coatings were found to be changed from preferred (100) orientation to the random mixed orientations. The results demonstrated that the Vickers microhardness of composite coatings under pulse condition was significantly improved than that of pure nickel coating as well as direct current electrodeposited Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coatings. Wear tracks have shown the less plastic deformation at pulse condition with reduced coefficient of friction. Nickel matrix grain size was also found to be lower in pulse plated composite coatings as compared to direct current electrodeposited composite coatings.

The pulse diagnosis studies reported to date has mainly been performed to clinically reveal the pulse wave characteristics according to the specific diseases, whereas no attempts have been made to study the effects on the pulse wave characteristics of the daily activities such as taking meals, exercise, and sleep, etc. This work reports the effect of feeding stimulus on the healthy subjects on the pulse wave pattern which has quantitatively been analyzed using the objective model for the pulse diagnosis in oriental medicine. The pulse waves right before/after the meal and 30 minutes after the meal were measured using the pulse analyzing equipment (3D-Mac, Daeyo Medi, Korea) and at the same time oriental medicine doctors' diagnoses were given. The pulse parameters obtained from the equipment and clinical records on the subjects were statistically processed and the variables showing statistically significant differences were analyzed. The results indicate that the pulse pressure, the pulse rate, and the respiratory rate increase while the blood pressure decreases after the meal. For the floating/sinking and the deficient/excess coefficients characterizing the pulse states described in the oriental medicine, the floating/sinking coefficients were observed to decrease whereas the deficiency/excess coefficients increase after the meal. The results indicates that besides the standard bio-indicators like blood pressure and respiratory rate, etc., the pulse wave characterization in terms of the pulse classifications in the oriental medicine using the floating/sinking, deficient/excess pulse states provide an important piece of biomedical information.

The RAD4 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is essential for the incision step of UV-induced excision repair. A yeast RAD4 gene has been previously isolated by functional complementation. In order to identify the RAD4 homologous gene from fungus Coprinus cinereus, we have constructed cosmid libraries from electrophoretically separated chromosomes of the C. cinereus. The 13 C. cinereus chromosomes were resolved by pulse-field gel electrophoresis, hybridized with S. cerevisiae RAD4 DNA, and then isolated homologous C. cinereus chromosome. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of fungus C. cinereus homolog of yeast RAD4 gene. Southern blot analysis confirmed that C. cinereus contains the sequence homologous DNA to RAD4 gene and this gene exists as a single copy in C. cinereus genome. When total RNA isolated from C. cinereus cells was hybridized with the 3.4 kb BglII DNA fragment of the S. cerevisiae RAD4 gene, a 2.5 kb of transcript was detected. The isolated gene encodes a protein of 810 amino acids.
