Parallel imaging technique can provide several advantages for a multitude of MRI applications. Especially, in SENSE technique, sensitivity maps were always required in order to determine the reconstruction matrix, therefore, a number of difference approaches using sensitivity information from coils have been demonstrated to improve of image quality. Moreover, many filtering methods were proposed such as adaptive matched filter and nonlinear diffusion technique to optimize the suppression of background noise and to improve of image quality. In this study, we performed SENSE reconstruction using computer simulations to confirm the most suitable method for the feasibility of filtering effect and according to changing order of polynomial fit that were applied on variation of spatial resolution of sensitivity map. The image was obtained at 0.32T(Magfinder II, Genpia, Korea) MRI system using spin-echo pulse sequence(TR/TE = 500/20 ms, FOV = 300 mm, matrix = $128{\times}128$, thickness = 8 mm). For the simulation, obtained image was multiplied with four linear-array coil sensitivities which were formed of 2D-gaussian distribution and the image was complex white gaussian noise was added. Image processing was separated to apply two methods which were polynomial fitting and filtering according to spatial resolution of sensitivity map and each coil image was subsampled corresponding to reduction factor(r-factor) of 2 and 4. The results were compared to mean value of geomety factor(g-factor) and artifact power(AP) according to r-factor 2 and 4. Our results were represented while changing of spatial resolution of sensitivity map and r-factor, polynomial fit methods were represented the better results compared with general filtering methods. Although our result had limitation of computer simulation study instead of applying to experiment and coil geometric array such as linear, our method may be useful for determination of optimal sensitivity map in a linear coil array.

In this paper, a model of a Eddy-current probe coil with a ferrite core in the presence of a half-space with a layer is developed. The half-space with a layer is accounted for by computing the appropriate Green's function by using Bessel transforms. Upon introducing equivalent Amperian currents within a core to explain effect to a impedance change in the coil due to a (ferrite) core, we derive a volume integral equation, The integral equation is transformed via the method of moments into a vector-matrix equation, which is then solved using a linear equation solver. Through the above processing, we computed impedance value in a Eddy-current probe coil due to a conductivity change of layer.

Longitudimal and transverse normal zone propagations in the superconducting coil are analyzed and propagation velocity is derived from the heat balance equations in the propagating boundary region. The results of applying to the specific superconducting wire show that propagation velocity is linearly proportional to the transport current and increasing ramp current speeds up the longitudinal velocity by 1.22[m/s] under the applied field of 2T. Transient heat transfer has a significant effect on the normal zone propagation velocity and it decreases longitudinal velocity by 5.2[m/s] under the applied field of 2T as being compared to the steady-state heat transfer. Increasing ramp current speeds up the Z-axis transverse propagation velocity by 0.042[m/s] and transverse velocity of R and Z axis is costant regardless of the current flows.

Recently, the demand for the development of high quality and high-speed laser printers and efficient power utilization has required. Among complicated electro-mechanic devices in laser printers, the toner-fusing unit consumes above 90[%] of all electrical energy needed for printing devices. Therefore, the development of a more effective energy-saving toner fusing process becomes a significant task in great demand. Generally, there are several ways to implement a fusing unit. Among them this paper presents a new induction heating method. The proposed induction heating method enables the increase of coupling coefficient between heating coil and heat roller which also increases total energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, the proposed IH (Induction Heating) inverter system provides very fast W.U.T. (Warm UP Time) as well as higher efficiency. Through experimental results, the proposed control system is verified.

We report on development of a ground-based bi-axial Search-Coil Magnetometer (SCM) designed to measure time-varying magnetic fields associated with magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes. The instrument provides two-axis magnetic field wave vector data in the Ultra Low Frequency or ULF (1 mHz to 5 Hz) range. ULF waves are well known to play an important role in energy transport and loss in geospace. The SCM will primarily be used to observe generation and propagation of the subclass of ULF waves. The analog signals produced by the search-coil magnetic sensors are amplified and filtered over a specified frequency range via electronics. Data acquisition system digitizes data at 10 samples/s rate with 16-bit resolution. Test results show that the resolution of the magnetometer reaches $0.1pT/{\sqrt{Hz}}$ at 1 Hz, and demonstrate its satisfactory performance, detecting geomagnetic pulsations. This instrument is scheduled to be installed at the Korean Antarctic station, Jang Bogo, in the austral summer 2016-2017.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate image blurring according to variation of the ETL and propose the clinically appropriate ETL range. SIEMENS MAGNETOM Skyra 3.0T and 20 channel head coil were used for the study. MRI phantom was kept the lines horizontally to three direction(X,Y,Z) of the coil and T1, T2 weighted images that used the fast spin echo technique acquired. The ETL with increase of 10 was applied from 10 to 80. In addition, the ETL with increase of 1 was applied in the interval statistically significant differences occurred. And T1, T2 weighted images that used the conventional spin echo technique acquired to compare image blurring of the images that used the fast spin echo technique. The slope of lattice in the images was measured using Image J 1.47v program to evaluate image blurring. And image blurring was determined by the degree of the slope. The statistical significance of both techniques was evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis test of the SPSS 17.0v. And the correlation of the ETL and image blurring was evaluated quantitatively by regression analysis. The slope of the T1, T2 weighted images that used fast spin echo technique decreased as contrasted with conventional spin echo technique. In the result of the Kruskal-Wallis test, the T1, T2 weighted images that used fast spin echo technique made a significant difference with conventional spin echo technique. Particularly, in the Tomhane' T2 test, the T1, T2 weighted images made a significant difference from ETL 22 and 31 respectively. In the result of the regression analysis, the R-squared of the T1, T2 weighted images are 0.762 and 0.793. It is difficult to apply the long ETL in the T1 weighted image caused by the short TR and multi-slices study. Therefore, clinical impact according to variation of the ETL is very slight in the T1 weighted images. But the application of the proper ETL is demanded in T2 weighted images using the fast spin echo technique in order to prevent image blurring.

TMC (Tautomycetin) is a liner polyketide immunosuppressive antifungal compound produced by Streptomyces spp. Inhibition of T cell proliferation with TMC was observed highly efficient at 100-fold lower than those needed to achieve maximal inhibition with cyclosporin A. To elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of TMC, a genomic DNA library was constructed using a E. coil-Streptomyces shuttle cosmid vector, pOJ446. The DNA libraries were screened by colony blot hybridization using several polyketide ${\beta}-ketosynthase$ (KS) probes amplified from TMC-producing Streptomyces genomic DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), of which the degenerate primers were designed based on the highly conserved sequences present in KS domains of various type I polyketide synthase genes in Streptomyces species. This library construction and screening approach led to the isolation of several positive cosmid clones representing type I polyketide biosynthetic gene clusters. In addition, a Streptomyces regulatory gene called afsR2 (a global regulatory gene stimulating antibiotic production in both S. coelicolor and S. lividans) was successfully integrated into the TMC-producing Streptomyces chromosome via E. coil-Streptomyces heterologous conjugation mehtod. The more detailed results of production improvement and genetic characterization of TMC-producing Streptomyces spp. will be discussed.
