In this paper, we propose to analyze the physical characteristics of a planar dual-composite right-left handed transmission line by a common application of Bond Graph approach and Scattering formalism (Methodology S.BG). The technique, we propose consists, on the one hand, of modeling of a dual composite right-left metamaterial transmission line (D-CRLH-TL) by Bond Graph approach, and, it consists of extracting the equivalent circuit of this studied structure. On the other hand, it consists to exploiting the scattering parameters (Scattering matrix) of the DCRLH-TL using the methodology which we previously developed since 2009. Finally, the validation of the proposed and used technique is carried out by comparisons between the simulations results with ADS and Maple (or MatLab).

본 논문에서는 가요성(flexible) 있는 영차 공진 안테나를 제안하였다. 안테나의 성능을 결정하는 본 논문의 위상 상수는 영차 공진일 때 기판의 변형에 독립적이다. Composite right/left-handed(CRLH) 전송 선로를 영차 공진 현상을 실현하기 위해 coplanar waveguide technology(CPW)를 기반으로 구현되었다. CRLH는 병렬 인덕턴스와 직렬 캐패시턴스를 추가함으로써 메타 물질로 구현된다. 추가적인 회로 변수를 만들기 위해 칩 인덕터와 갭 캐패시터가 각각 추가되었다. 제안된 ZOR 안테나는 대역폭 6.5 %와 최대 이득 0.69~1.39 dBi으로 좋은 성능을 보인다. 시뮬레이션과 측정 결과를 통해서 곡면의 지름이 서로 다른 각각 30, 50, 70 mm 뿐만 아니라 평면일 때 공진 주파수와 방사 패턴이 거의 변하지 않았음을 보였다.

Objective : Thoracic pedicles have special and specific properties. In particular, upper thoracic pedicles are positioned in craniocaudal plane. Therefore, manipulation of thoracic pedicle screws on the left side is difficult for right-handed surgeons. We recommend a new position to insert thoracic pedicle screw that will be much comfortable for spine surgeons. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 33 patients who underwent upper thoracic pedicle screw instrumentation. In 15 patients, a total of 110 thoracic pedicle screws were inserted to the upper thoracic spine (T1-6) with classical position (anesthesiologist and monitor were placed near to patient's head. Surgeons were standing classically near to patient's body while patients were lying in prone position). In 18 patients, a total of 88 thoracic pedicle screws were inserted to the upper thoracic spine with the new standing position-surgeons stand by the head of the patient and the anesthesia monitor laterally and under patient's belt level. All the operations performed by the same senior spine surgeons with the help of C-arm. Postoperative computed tomography scans were obtained to assess the screw placement. The screw malposition and pedicle wall violations were divided and evaluated separately. Cortical penetration were measured and graded at either : 1-2 mm penetration, 2-4 mm penetration and >4 mm penetration. Results : Total 198 screws were inserted with two different standing positions. Of 198 screws 110 were in the classical positioning group and 88 were in the new positioning group. Incorrect screw placement was found in 33 screws (16.6%). The difference between total screw malposition by both standing positions were found to be statistically significant (p=0.011). The difference between total pedicle wall violations by both standing positions were found to be statistically significant (p=0.003). Conclusion : Right-handedness is a problem during the upper thoracic pedicle screw placement on the left side. Changing the surgeon's position standing near to patient's head could provide a much comfortable position to orient the craniocaudal plane of the thoracic pedicles.

본 논문에서는 composit right-left handed (CRLH) 전송 선로에서 발생하는 -1 모드를 이용하여 십자 개구 결합 급전을 갖는 소형 원형 편파 메타 물질 안테나를 제안한다. -1 모드는 일반적인 패치 안테나의 기본 모드인 $TM_{010}$ 모드와 동일한 성질을 가지고 있기 때문에, 원형 편파의 동작원리를 동일하게 적용할 수 있다. 원형 편파는 두 개의 수직인 모드가 $90^{\circ}$의 위상 차이를 가질 때 형성된다. 두 개의 -1 모드를 얻기 위해서 사각형 형태를 갖는 4개의 버섯 구조를 이용하였고, 모드 간에 $90^{\circ}$의 위상차를 인가하기 위해서 십자형 개구의 폭과 길이를 최적화 하였다. 제작된 안테나의 4개로 배열된 버섯 구조의 면적은 $0.34{\lambda}_g{\times}0.34{\lambda}_g$이며, RT/duroid5880 기판에 설계되었다. 제안된 안테나의 중심 주파수는 좌수 원형 편파 안테나의 경우 1.622 GHz 원형 편파의 3 dB 대역폭은 3 MHz로 측정되었다. 우수 원형 편파 안테나의 경우, 중심 주파수는 1.609 GHz로 원형 편파의 3 dB 대역폭은 3 MHz로 측정되었다. 각각 안테나의 효율은 좌수 원형 편파 안테나의 경우 61.1 %, 우수 원형 편파 안테나의 경우 54.5 %로 측정되었다.

This study proposes a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) that permits switching between the right-handed (RH) and left-handed (LH) modes using single crystalline silicon (SCS) RF MEMS switches. It is possible to change modes from the RH to LH mode, or vice versa, by controlling the admittance of capacitors and the impedance of inductors using switch operations. The proposed switchable CRLH-TL consists of SCS RF MEMS switches, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and shunt inductors. At 8 GHz, the fabricated device shows a phase response of $87^{\circ}$ with an insertion loss of 2.7 dB in the LH mode, and a phase response of $-77^{\circ}$ with an insertion loss of 0.56 dB in the RH mode.

The binding interaction of ethidium to a series of synthetic deoxyoligonucleotides containing a B-Z junction between left-handed Z-DNA and right-handed B-DNA, was studied. The series of deoxyoligonucleotides was designed so as to vary a dinucleotide step immediately adjacent to a B-Z junction region. Ethidium binds to the right-handed DNA forms and hybrid B-Z forms which contain a B-Z junction, in a highly cooperative manner. In a series of deoxyoligonucleotides, the binding affinity of ethidium with DNA forms which were initially hybrid B-Z forms shows over an order of magnitude higher than that with any other DNA forms, which were entirely in B-form DNA The cooperativity of binding isotherms were described by an allosteric binding model and by a neighbor exclusion model. The binding data were statistically compared for two models. The conformation of allosterically converted DNA forms under binding with ethidium is found to be different from that of the initial B-form DNA as examined by CD spectra. The ratio of the binding constant was interestingly correlated to the free energy of base unstacking and the conformational conversion of the dinucleotide. The more the base stacking of the dinucleotide is unstable, or the harder the conversion of B to A conformation, the higher the ratio of the binding constant of ethidium with the allosterically converted DNA forms and with the initial B-Z hybrid forms. DNA sequence around a B-Z junction region affects the binding affinity of ethidium. The results in this study demonstrate that ethidium could preferentially interact with unusual DNA structures.

The symmetry is general geometric design principal in contemporary architecture shape. But, Symmetry sometimes easily causes unreasonable design. In some reason, two of symmetric units in the apartment, one side of unit have very reasonable plan and arrangement but opposite side unit nay not. For example, if the kitchen on right unit had right-handed arrangement, the symmetrical other would have left-handed kitchen arrangement. In addition to this, if each house unit has the same plan but different direction, each unit has different usage or affects the residents' life pattern. Nevertheless, Architects use only one unit plan to design public housing development by using symmetric operator (mirror, proper rotation, inversion center) at their option. This study suggests that using group theory and mathematical matrix rather than designer's discretion can solve this symmetry problem clearly. And, this study analysis the merits and demerits between each symmetrical pair of unit plan shapes by using mathematical point group theory and matrix.

In this study electrical impedance plethysmograph was developed and each ten digital blood flow was measured for eight nomal males and a patient tvith digital arterial reconstruction surgery. Blood flow of the digit with surgery was approximately fourty percent compared to that of the other normal digit. For the normal subjects, right - handed subjects generally have larger blood flow in right fingers than that in left fingers while it was reverse for the left - handed subjects. The relative average magnitude of the digltal blood flow Is the third, first, second, fourth, and fifth digit in descending order for the left and rich hand, respectively. Blood flow of the fifth digit for all subjec!s except one was the smallest among the five digits.
