Patterns of amylase secretion in mouse pancreatic fragments were studied over a period of time after the tissue was stimulated by acetyicholine and MNNG. MNNG is known to activate guanylate cyclase and thus increase the cGMP concentration in the pancreatic acinar cell. These amylase secretion patterns were studied to investigate the role of cGMP in reaction cascade during secretion response of the tissues stimulated by acetyicholine. Cellular response of amylase secretion in the pancreas by acetyicholine was divided into two phases. During the first phase, zymogen granules which had existed in the cells were secreted by the action of $Ca^2$+ and calmodulin immediately after secretagogue administration, this being known as the initial response. When the tissue was stimulated by acetylcholine in a $Ca^2$+-deficient medium or one containing trifluoperazine as a calmodulin antagonist, this initial response was reduced. In the second phase, newly formed zymogen granules were secreted as sustained response after protein synthesis was triggered by secretagogue. This response was provoked by an activation of protein kinase C. When either cycloheximide as a protein synthesis inhibitor or dibucaine as a protein kinase C inhibitor were added to the incubation medium, this sustained response was remarkablely depressed in the pancreatic fragments stimulated with acetylcholine. In the pancreatic acinar cell, phosphatidylinositol turnover plays an important role in the secretion response and hexachlorocyclohexane inhibits this phosphatidylinositol turnover. The pancreatic tissue treated with the hexachlorocyclohexane exhibited inhibition on both initial and sustained responses of amylase secretion by acetylcholine. MNNG also accelerated amylase secretion from the tissue gradually along incubation time. The 22 minutes fraction of the pancratic secretion after administration of both acetylcholine and MNNG showed higher amylase activity than the neighboring fractions. Guanylate cyclase potentiated the sustained response. Even if it is experimented with an indirect method, guanylate cyclase was found responsible for activation of the sustained response of a step prior to the action of protein kinase C. As conclusion, it was considered that amylase secretion in mouse pancreatic fragments stimulated by acetylcholine is a three phasic response.

This paper considers the problem of determining a set of PI, PD and PID controller gains, for a given linear time invariant plant, that meets or exceeds the closed loop step response specifications. The proposed method utilizes two recent results: for a given system, (1) finding a set of stabilizing PI, PD and PID gains and (2) the relationship between time response (overshoot and speed) and the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial. The method allows us to extract a subset of PI, PD and PID gains that meets stability as well as time domain performance requirements. The intersections of two dimensional sets described by linear and quadratic inequalities in the controller design space are need to be Identified through numerical computation. The procedure is illustrated by examples.

In this paper the characteristics of vibration induced by subway trains running on track is discussed. The quantitative prediction of the vibration level and the countermeasure for reduction of necessary, is of importance for the better environment. It was made the constructed Bundang line as first step with the modified Young-Dan type to basis on the Japanese Young-Dan type. In this paper it was measured and analyzed to two region (①Susuh-Bokjung, ②Chorim-Suhyun region) of this, at present operational Bundang line when averaging velocity of train is 60(㎞/h). As the response characteristics of frequency induced by subway operation, it was confirmed that frequency band of neighborhood of 30∼80Hz in generally dominant. Also to assess the quantitative vibration as response level to be measured for each point of two region in subway operation, the vibrational response level was measured at the state to be not subway operation. And the level was approximately 1/5∼1/10 level comparing to subway operation.

In this paper, the convergence behavior of timing phase when an adaptive partial response equalizer and decision-directed type of a PLL work together in a digital recording channel is described. The phenomena of getting biased in timing phase when the convergence parameter of an adaptive partial response equalizer and timing recovery constant of a PLL are not selected properly is introduced. The phenomena, occurring due to perturbation of timing phase, are analyzed, by computer simulation and the region of ocnvergence for timing phase is discussed. Also, a method to overcome the phenomena using a variable step-size parameter is described.

As the first step to the dynamic stress analysis of structures, transient responses of a Timoshenko beam with variable section subject to impact load are analyzed. According to the various characteristics of impact load, time histories of the transient response of Timoshenko beam with general boundary conditions are obtained and compared with those of one degree of freedom system. Numerical solutions of the governing equations of motion are calculated by adopting the equivalent lumped-mass system and the finite difference method. It is found that the dynamic responses of Timshenko beam depend on the effect of concentration and location of impact load. As a result, increasing tendency of fluctuation in dynamic response, especially in bending moment, is found according to the increase of load concentration factor in time and space.

To provide the appropriate direction for development of transient control in a gasoline engine, transient performance analysis and evalution under four accelerating types based on typical driver's acceleration type were implemented by experimental study. In order to evaluate the characteristics of transient performance quanititatively, the concept and method by transient response specifications were introduced. Several performance parameters in terms of engine speed(RPM), manifold absolute pressure(MAP), fuel injection duration($\DeltatI_{nj}$) and air excess ratio($\lambda$) were emasured simultaneously during the four types of the throttle valve opening with the step motor controlled by PC. The result showed that transient response specifications in terms of delay time, rising time and settling time characterized the transient performance for four acceleration types quantitatively. Intensified acceleration type was most economical and linear acceleration type revealed the best emission performance.

When a tractor travels slope lands, problems of operator safety and the reduction of job efficiency usually occur. Therefore, maintaining the tractor body being horizontal is critical to improve the security of traveling and the job performance. An experiment was made in a soil bin using the experimental model system built and equipped with a leveling control system. Adaptability of the control system was tested and investigated by analyzing system response in time and frequency domains. Control response time of hydraulic cylinder with 10lpm flow rate on a step input of 10$^{\circ}$slope was about 0.42sec. And it showed a linearly increasing trend without any hunching state. A steady state error of 0.6$^{\circ}$occurred but it was negligible. The hydraulic control system showed a little phase differences within the range of 0.4Hz input frequency. The experimental model showed that implementation of the proposed tractor control system to on slope lands tractor was feasible.

This paper presents a study on fuzzy speed and flux controller used in a vector control of a CRPWM(Current Ragulated PWM) induction motor drive. In this paper, an approach for an easier design of the fuzzy controller is presented in order to obtain the desired value for the response time with minimal overshoot and to improve the steady state performance for speed step commands. The fuzzy controller is constructed only upon the knowledge of the motor behaviour and the desired speed response, and provides fast and robust control by reducing the effects of nonlinearities, parameter changes and load disturbance. The results of applying the fuzzy logic controller to an IM drive system are compared with those obtained by application of a conventional PI controller. The fuzzy controller provided a better response than the PI controller.

A two-degrees-of-freedom servosystem for step-type reference signals has been preposed, in which the integral compensation is effective only when there is a modeling error or a disturbance input. this paper considers robust stability of the servosystem incorporating an observer against both structured and unstructured uncertainties of the plant. A condition is obtained as a linear matrix inequality, under which the servosystem is robustly stable independently of the gain of the integral compensator. This result implies that we can tune the gain to achieve a desirable transient response of the servpsystem preserving robust stability. An example is presented to demonstrate that under the robust stability condition, the transient response can be improved by increasing the gain of the integral compensator.

Low-velocity impact responses of composite laminates are investigated using the finite element method based on various theories. In two-dimensional nonlinear analysis, a displacement field considering higher order shear deformation and large deflection of the laminate is assumed and a finite element formulation is developed using a C$^{o}$-continuous 9-node plate element. Also, three-dimensional linear analysis based on the infinitesimal strain-displacement assumptions is performed using 8-node brick elements with incompatible modes. A modified Hertzian contact law is incorporated into the finite element program to evaluate the impact force. In the time integration, the Newmark constant acceleration algorithm is used in conjuction with successive iterations within each time step. Numerical results from static analysis as well as the impact response analysis are presented including impact force histories, deflections, strains in the laminate. Impact responses according to two typical low-velocity impact conditions are compared each other.
