  • In this paper, compact linear dual polarized series-fed $1{\times}2$ linear and $2{\times}2$ planar arrays antennas for airborne SAR applications are proposed. The proposed antenna design consists of a square radiating patch that is placed on top of the substrate, a quarter wave transformer and $50-{\Omega}$ matched transformer. Matching between a radiating patch and the $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip line is accomplished through a direct coupled-feed technique with the help of an impedance inverter (${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer) placed at both horizontal and vertical planes, in the case of the $2{\times}2$ planar array. The overall size for the prototype-1 and prototype-2 fabricated antennas are $1.9305{\times}0.9652{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$ and $1.9305{\times}1.9305{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$, respectively. The fabricated structure has been tested, and the experimental results are similar to the simulated ones. The CST MWS simulated and vector network analyzer measured reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) results were compared, and they indicate that the proposed antenna prototype-1 yields the impedance bandwidth >140 MHz (9.56-9.72 GHz) defined by $S_{11}$<-10 dB with 1.43%, and $S_{21}$<-25 dB in the case of prototype-2 (9.58-9.74 GHz, $S_{11}$< -10 dB) >140 MHz for all the individual ports. The surface currents and the E- and H-field distributions were studied for a better understanding of the polarization mechanism. The measured results of the proposed dual polarized antenna were in accordance with the simulated analysis and showed good performance of the S-parameters and radiation patterns (co-pol and cross-pol), gain, efficiency, front-to-back ratio, half-power beam width) at the resonant frequency. With these features and its compact size, the proposed antenna will be suitable for X-band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications.

  • X-ray systems for medical treatment use noninvasive procedures. Being capable of locally inspecting the inside of the body, X-ray systems are routinely used for basic diagnosis. X-ray systems to be used for medical purposes were originally made with a gas filled tube inside an induction coil in the initial stages of development but with this approach it becomes difficult to take a satisfactory picture through thick body sections, non invasively. However continued development made it possible to take non-invasive pictures of breasts, blood vessels and other body parts through thick body sections. Recently, high-voltage X-ray generators of more compact size, increased generation efficiency, and sophisticated output control have become possible. All of these features are made possible by the use of a high-frequency output from an inverter and a fast switching semiconductor device. In this paper, we describe a new X-ray generator operating with a resonant inverter in order to reduce switching loss and high frequency noise. In addition, in order to identify the differences amongst types of rectification, we have compared output and the quality of X-ray pictures obtained with full-wave rectification and dual-voltage rectification methods.

  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL) is not just the poor grades of treating a type of blood cancer hayeoteul combination with chemotherapy despite concurrent radiation therapy are known to exhibit a greater effect and also works on normal cells to result in side effects. In this study, when after treatment with gamma rays, such as $TNF-{\alpha}$ in order to reduce these side effects was confirmed how affected the cell death of normal cells and cancer cells. HL-60 cells were used as the APL cell line HL-60 cells were differentiated with DMSO for treatment are shown the properties of normal granulocytes was used as a control group. As a result, HL-60 cells treated with $TNF-{\alpha}$ and gamma rays with only showed a cytotoxic effect by inducing the apoptosis cells were put to death. Consequently, $TNF-{\alpha}$ is thought to active substances that can increase the efficiency of cancer treatment to increase the removal of cancer cells when used with low-density gamma-ray treatment in order to eliminate the side effects of chemotherapy.

  • We present a quantitative analysis of a dipole antenna and its characteristics from the viewpoint of quantum mechanics. The method makes use of a Maxwell equation used in an existing antenna propagation formula. This includes radiation resistance, input reactance, and antenna efficiency as functions of frequency and antenna length. Particular attention is paid to the Schr$\ddot{o}$odinger equation. We accomplish E-field and H-field analyses of a dipole antenna by combining the Maxwell and Schr$\ddot{o}$odinger wave equations. When comparing the existing Maxwell wave equation with the Schr$\ddot{o}$odinger wave equation, quantum-electric movement is more accurate than using the Maxwell wave equation alone.

  • High pressure die casting is one of the precision casting methods. It is highly productivity and suitable for manufacturing components with complex shapes and accurate dimensions. Recently, there has been increasing demand for efficient heat dissipation components, to control the heat generated by devices, which directly affects the efficiency and life of the product. Die cast aluminum alloys with high thermal conductivity are especially needed for this application. In this study, the influence of elements added to the die cast aluminum alloy on its thermal conductivity was evaluated. The results showed that Mn remarkably deteriorated the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. When Cu content was increased, the tensile strength of cast aluminum alloy increased, showing 1 wt% of Cu ensured the minimum mechanical properties of the cast aluminum. As Si content increased, the flow length of the alloy proportionally increased. The flow length of aluminum alloy containing 2 wt% Si was about 85% of that of the ALDC12 alloy. A heat dissipation component was successfully fabricated using an optimized composition of Al-1 wt%Cu-0.6 wt%Fe-2 wt%Si die casting alloy without surface cracks, which were turned out as intergranular cracking originated from the solidification contraction of the alloy with Si composition lower than 2 wt%.

  • Continuous and tremendous data (canopy temperature and meteorological variables) are necessary to determine Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI). This study investigated the optimal monitoring time and interval of canopy temperature and meteorological variables (air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed) to determine CWSIs. The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) was used to quantitatively describe the accuracy of sampling method depending upon various time intervals (t=5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes) and CWSIs per every minute were used as a reference. The NSE coefficient of wind speed was 0.516 at the sampling time of 60 minutes, while the ones of other meteorological variables and canopy temperature were greater than 0.8. The pattern of daily CWSIs increased from 8:00 am, reached the maximum value at 12:00 pm, then decreased after 2:00 pm. The statistical analysis showed that the data collection at 11:40 am produced the closest CWSI value to the daily average of CWSI, which indicates that just one time of measurement could be representative throughout the day. Overall, the findings of this study contributes to the economical and convenient method of quantifying CWSIs and irrigation management.

  • Contrails are line-shaped clouds formed by the condensation of water vapor from the interaction of exhaust gas from aircraft engines and the high-altitude atmosphere. Contrails are known to aggravate global warming by creating a greenhouse effect by absorbing or reflecting radiation emitted from the Earth. In this study, development of a model that can quantitatively predict the contrail occurrence was conducted for the reduction of contrail, which is likely to form an aircraft certification category in the future. Based on prior research results, a model that can predict the occurrence of contrail between Tokyo and Qingdao was developed, in addition to proposing improved flight altitude that can minimize the occurrence of contrail.
