Steel plate concrete (SC) structure has been developed as a new structural type. Rational damping value shall be determined for the seismic design of SC structure. This study evaluated damping ratio of SC structure through experiments. For the study, a SC shear wall specimen was constructed and dynamically tested on the shaking table. Acceleration time history responses measured from testing were converted to the transfer functions and analyzed by using experimental modal analysis technique. The structural damping ratio of the specimen was identified as 4% to critical. Considering the shaking table test was performed at the excitation level corresponding to the low stress level of the specimen, 4% could be suggested as a structural damping for design of SC structure for operating basis earthquake.

Recently, a variety of methods for the performance improvement of ultra-high speed wideband wireless transmission systems have been suggested. This paper proposes a space-frequency (SF) block coded single side band (SSB) single carrier (SC)-frequency division multiple access (FDMA) transmission system. In the proposed SSB SC-FDMA system, SF block code is implemented with the complex conjugates, which are formed from discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading of pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signals. As a result, transmit diversity gain can be obtained in the proposed SF block coded SSB SC-FDMA system without any significant increase of the system computational complexity. The simulation result shows that the signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) performance of the proposed SF block coded SSB SC-FDMA system is approximately 4 dB better than the SNR performance of the conventional SSB SC-FDMA system with single transmit antenna at a symbol error rate (SER) of $10^{-2}$.

In this paper, we evaluate the underwater frequency diversity communication performance of Selective Combination (SC) using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). In an underwater multipath frequency selective channel, destructive interference fading due to delay spread of a received signal affects the increase in error and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) variability of an underwater acoustic communication. Selective Combination frequency diversity using a single sensor is applied as a transmission performance improvement technique according to the frequency selectivity of a channel. In the sea experiment applying MLE for SC decision value extraction, we evaluate the performance of SC frequency diversity and MLE-SC frequency diversity. In experiment result, we confirm through experiment that the Bit Error Rate (BER) is relatively lower when the decision value extracted through MLE-SC is applied than when the SC decision value is fixed.

The $PbSc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_3$ ceramics at a relatively low temperature of $1300^{\circ}C$ was successful synthesized. Solid state reaction of two-step process is not necessary. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and admittance of ceramic samples were determined. The pyroelectric characteristics are in good agreement with the dielectric properties. Ferroelectric properties of well-formed the $PbSc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_3$ ceramics are in agreement with broad distribution of relaxation phenomenon. Relatively strong frequency dependent of dielectric constant is observed at about $110^{\circ}C$. The distinct thermal hysteresis was observed in the measurement of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss. The critical exponents of during cooling and heating measurements in the $PbSc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_3$ ceramics were 1.14 and 1.59 at 1 kHz, respectively.

Lead scandium tantalate powders were prepared by a molten salt synthesis method using NaCl-KCl as a flux. Variations in phase formation and particle morphology were investigated for the temperature range from $700^{\circ}C\;to\;800^{\circ}C$. $Pb(Sc_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, with pure perovskite phase was formed at $750^{\circ}C$ fur 2 hrs and the prepared powder had the cubic-like morphology and the average particle size below $0.5{\mu}m$. The results were discussed with respect to DTA, X-ray diffraction, and microstructural characterization data.

Liver is an important target of the toxicity of drugs, xenobiotics and oxidative stress. Acetaminophen pverdose causes acute liver injury in both humans and animals. This study was performed to observe the effect of sachunwhan and its component groups on recovery of hepatoxicity in acetaminophen treated rats. The experimental group was divided into 4 groups: sachungwhan(SC), samultang group(SC-1: 當歸, 川芎), chungyul group(SC-2: 龍膽草, 大黃, 梔子), and haepyo group(SC-3:羌活, 防風). Under the same condition Normal group was fed basal diet and water; Control group was injected acetaminophen and fed basal diet for 2 weeks; Experimental groups were injected acetaminophen and fed each extracts for 2 weeks respectively. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the study on antioxidative defense system in vivo, SC reduced the amount of lipid peroxide in both serum and liver and showed activity on antioxidative enzymes such as catalase, glutathion. Other groups had effect only on glutathion. 2. In the study on hepatotoxicity(GOT, GPT, ${\gamma}$-GTP, ALP, LDH, Bilirubin), SC had a significant effect on recovery of hepatoxicity in acetaminophen treated rats. Other groups had no effect except SC-1 having effect on ${\gamma}$-GTP. As results shown, only Sachungwhan(SC) has significant effects on recovery of hepatoxicity and antioxidative defense system in vivo. These results suggest that Sachungwhan(SC) made antioxidative defense system active and it seemed to be very important to its effect on recovery of hepatoxicity. In the other hand, Component groups had no effect on recoverv of hepatoxicity and antioxidative defense system in vivo. This was thought that component drugs' cooperative synergy effect would be important to Sachungwhan(SC)'s effects mentioned in this paper.

In this paper, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity in the multipath Rayleigh fading environment is analyzed and compared with that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system. Each carriers of the number of the input diversity branches in the Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is L and among L, the branches of $L_c$ are chosen to be maximum-ratio-combined. And the diversity outputs are coherent-detected and despread by the correlator of each carrier. As the result, we have known that the structure of the Wideband DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC-L_{c}/L$ diversity reception becomes simple due to no synchronization of bit or phase and in terms of the error performance, the performance of Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity is better than that of selection diversity, but worse than that of MRC diversity. Moreover, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is better than that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel since Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_c/L$ diversity can obtain gain from each diversity branch. In case four carriers are used and required BER is $10^{-6}$ in wireless data communication, Hybrid SC/MRC-2/4 diversity can increase more 17 users than Hybrid SC/MRC-2/3 diversity because the better input branches can be selected through increase of input branches.

In this paper, microalgae lipid extractions were performed using conventional organic solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$) for biodiesel-convertible lipid fractions. The highest levels (58.31%) of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content in the lipid extracted by SC-$CO_2$ was obtained, and 18.0 wt.% crude lipid yield was achieved for Bligh-Dyer method. In the SC-$CO_2$ extraction, methanol as a co-solvent was applied to increase the polarity of extract. The experimental results indicated that crude lipid yield, FAME content and yield extracted by combination of SC-$CO_2$ with methanol were 12.5 wt.%, 56.32% and 7.04 wt.%, respectively, and this method could reduce the extraction time from 2 hour to 30 min when compared to SC-$CO_2$ extraction. Therefore, SC-$CO_2$ extraction is proven to be an environmentally-friendly and an effective method for lipid extraction from microalgae.
