초음파신호를 이용하여 두 물체 사이의 거리를 측정할 수 있도록 초음파신호를 발생시키고 이를 수신하여 증폭하는 프론트-앤드 IC를 설계하였다. 40[kHz]~300[kHz]의 초음파 신호를 발생시켜서 피에조진동자를 통해 간헐적으로 송신하는 회로와 피에조 수신기에서 받은 미세한 반사 신호를 증폭하여 노이즈를 제거한 후 처음 송신된 신호와의 시간 차이를 펄스폭으로 출력하고 이를 이용하여 물체사이의 거리를 계산할 수 있는 기능을 내장하였다. 본 설계에서는 두 가지 기술을 작용하여 기능을 개선하였다. 첫째, 주파수 자동조정(SFC) 회로이다. OTA회로의 gm을 가변시켜 초음파 신호발생기의 출력주파수와 수신단의 밴드패스필터의 중심주파수가 서로 연동되도록 조정해 줌으로써 신호 복원을 용이하게 하였다. 둘째, 가변 이득 조절회로(VGC)이다. 이 회로는 두 물체사이의 거리에 상관없이 수신되는 신호의 진폭이 일정하도록 동작하는 기능을 한다. 또한, 출력레벨변환회로를 적용하여 송신신호의 진폭을 40[V]로 상승시켜 측정거리를 늘리는 시도를 하였다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 공정은 0.6um] 급, 40[V] CMOS 공정을 사용하였다. 전원전압 5[V], 소비전력은 약 12[mW]정도이다. 회로의 규모가 최소화 되어 있고 외부소자 수를 줄였기 때문에 휴대형기기에 편리하게 사용할 수 있게 하였다.

본 논문에서는 저주파 혼변조 신호의 크기만을 조절하여 혼변조 신호를 제어하는 새로운 전치 왜곡 선형화기를 제안하였다. 이 방법은 고조파 발생기 출력에서 생성된 저주파 혼변조 신호를 주 신호와 진폭 변조시켜 혼변조 신호를 만들었으며, 저주파 가변 이득 조절기를 이용하여 혼변조 신호의 크기와 위상을 조절하였다. 제안한 전치 왜곡 선형화기는 국내 셀룰러 기지국 송신 주파수($869{\sim}894\;MHz$) 반송파 2 톤 신호를 전력 증폭기에 인가하여 입력 신호 레벨을 변화시켰을 때, 3차 혼변조 신호는 20 dB 이상 개선되었으며, IS-95 CDMA 1FA 신호입력 시에는 중심 주파수에서 ${\pm}885\;kHz$ 및 ${\pm}1.25;MHz$ 이격 지점에서 인접 채널 전력 비(ACPR: Adjacent Channel Power Ratio)를 10 dB 이상 개선시켰다.

Recently the adaptive control system, which keeps the control system always optimal by adjusting the control parameters automatically according to the variations of the plant parameters, have become very important in the field of control engineering. The adaptive control systems are usally composed of the plant identification, the decision of the optimal control parameters, and the adjustment of the control parameters. This paper deals with a method of the adaptive control system when PI or PID controller is used in the feed back control system. Its controlled object (the plant) is assumed to be described by the transfer function of $\frac{ke^{-LS}}{1+TS}$ where k, T and L are steady state gain, time constant and pure dead time respectively, and their values are variable in accordance with the change of environmental circumstance. It has been known that a pseudo-random binary signal is quite effective for the measurement of an impulse response of a plant. In adaptive control systems, however, the impulse response itself is not appropriate to determine the control parameters. In this paper, the authors propose a method to estimate directly the parameters of the plant k, T and L by means of the correlation technique using 3 level M-sequence signal as a test signal. The authors also propose a method to determine the optimal parameters of the PI or PID controller in the sense of minimizing the square integral of the control error in the feed back control system, and the values of the optimal parameters are computed numerically for various values of T and L, and the results are examined and compared with those of the conventional methods. Finally the above-mentioned two methods are combined and an algorithm to struct an adaptive control system is suggested. The experiments for the indicial responses by means of both the model of the temperature control system using SCR actuater and the analog simulations have shown good results as expected, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. The M-sequence generator and the time delay circuit, which are manufactured for the experiments, are operated in quite a good condition.

This research was done to gain the health information in one of the target areas(rural area) of the Korea University Community Health Project, and to improve and standardize the methodology of the health interview survey. There were two types of questions;one was the simple open-ended question and the other was check list in the interview survey for a total of 1,406 inhabitants. And so the result obtained from the above survey was analysed. The results as follows; 1) The morbidity rate in general was 11.2% by simple open-ended question and 32.5% by check list during recent 20 days in interview method. 2) Women had higher morbidity rate in both kinds of method. 3) The most prevalent diseases in the interview method using check list were the ones of the musculo-skeletal system and connective tissue (22.5%), and diseases of the respiratory system (19.8%) and digestive system (13.7%) were in order of frequency. 4) By the position in the family, housewives had highest morbidity rate in the interview method unrespectedly, and the reason seemed that the respondents were houseweives themselves and the morbidity rate was the one by spell not by person. But morbidity rate by the socio-economic status had no significant difference in both methods. 5) The agreement rate on simple open-ended question and check list was 72.5%, but if limiting respondents themselves only, the rate was falled to 54%. 6) The morbidities were diverse in the review of the results of previous morbidity surveies, but the morbidity rate was higher and less variable in case of using check list and getting the replies individually than using simple open-ended question and proxy respondents.

본 논문에서는 불완전 전력 제어 방식과 주파수 선택적 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 DS-CDMA 시스템을 위한 역방향링크 동기식 전송 방식(Reverse-Link Synchronous Transmission Technique: RLSTT)이 채용된 개선된 다단계 병렬식 간섭 제거기(Parallel Interference Cancellation: PIC)에 대한 성능을 분석한다. 로그 노말 분포의 랜덤 변수로 근사화되는 전력 제어 오차(Power Control Error: PCE)에 의한 성능 열화가 PCE의 표준 편차의 함수로 추정된다. 시스템 수용 용량을 추정하기 위하여 비부호화된 비트 오류 성능을 계산한다. 기존의 단일단계 간섭제거기 시스템과 비교하여 전력 제어 오차가 존재하는 경우에서도 RLSTT를 채용함으로 $60\%$ 정도의 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 보여준다. 즉 결론적으로 RLSTT는 수용용량을 더욱 개선해줄 수 있으며 PCE의 악영향을 감소시켜줄 수 있다.

Background: Wild ginseng, Panax ginseng Meyer, is an endangered species of medicinal plants. In the present study, we analyzed variations within the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) cluster to gain insight into the genetic diversity of the Oriental ginseng, P. ginseng, at artificial plant cultivation. Methods: The roots of wild P. ginseng plants were sampled from a nonprotected natural population of the Russian Far East. The slides were prepared from leaf tissues using the squash technique for cytogenetic analysis. The 18S rDNA sequences were cloned and sequenced. The distribution of nucleotide diversity, recombination events, and interspecific phylogenies for the total 18S rDNA sequence data set was also examined. Results: In mesophyll cells, mononucleolar nuclei were estimated to be dominant (75.7%), while the remaining nuclei contained two to four nucleoli. Among the analyzed 18S rDNA clones, 20% were identical to the 18S rDNA sequence of P. ginseng from Japan, and other clones differed in one to six substitutions. The nucleotide polymorphism was more expressed at the positions 440-640 bp, and distributed in variable regions, expansion segments, and conservative elements of core structure. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed conspecificity of ginseng plants cultivated in different regions, with two fixed mutations between P. ginseng and other species. Conclusion: This study identified the evidences of the intragenomic nucleotide polymorphism in the 18S rDNA sequences of P. ginseng. These data suggest that, in cultivated plants, the observed genome instability may influence the synthesis of biologically active compounds, which are widely used in traditional medicine.

A five-week trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic chromium from different sources on growth performance, immune response and serum parameters of weaned pigs. One hundred and eighty Tianjin white pigs weaned at $35{\pm}1$ days of age, were allotted to three treatments with six replicates and10 pigs per pen. Pigs were fed corn-soybean-whey-fishmeal basal diets with either no supplemental Cr, $200{\mu}g/kg$ Cr as chromium picolinate (CrPi), or $200{\mu}g/kg$ Cr as chromium yeast (Cr-yeast). To assess humoral immune response, all pigs were immunized with swine fever virus on day 21 and two pigs from each pen were immunized with pure albumin on day 14. Cell-mediated immunity was measured by determining the double skinfold thickness (DST) of two pigs from each pen before and 24h after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) on day 28. The results indicated that: (1) diets with Cr-yeast increased average daily gain (ADG, p<0.05) and tended to increase average daily feed intake (ADFI, p<0.10). Diets with CrPi did not increase ADG and ADFI (p>0.05). (2) Dietary CrPi or Cr-yeast supplementation did not affect blood urea nitrogen, glucose, or cholesterol (p>0.05), but blood urea nitrogen in CrPi and Cr-yeast supplemented groups and blood glucose in the Cr-yeast supplemented group were significantly influenced by sampling days (p<0.05). (3) Serum proteins (TP, ALB, and GLB) were influenced by sampling days (p<0.05), but not by dietary Cr treatment (p>0.10). (4) There were no significant differences among treatments in the titers of albumin antibody and swine fever virus antibody (p>0.05) or DST before and after PHA stimulation (p>0.05), indicating that organic chromium has no significant effect on the immune function of weaning pigs. Therefore, these results agree with other research that the effects of supplemental Cr are variable in weanling pigs.

Postweaning performance data were obtained on 187 group fed purebred Angus calves from 12 selected sires (six high and six low feed conversion sires) in 1985 and 1986. The objective of this portion of the study was to develop prediction equations for feed conversion from a stepwise regression analysis. Variables measured were on-test weight (ONTSTWT), on-test age (ONTSTAG), five weights by 28-d periods, seven linear body measurements: heart girth (HG), hip height (HH), head width (HDW), head length (HDL), muzzle circumference (MC), length between hooks and pins (HOPIN) and length between shoulder and hooks (SHHO), and backfat thickness (BF). Stepwise regressions for maintenance adjusted feed conversion (ADJFC) and unadjusted feed conversion (UNADFC) over the first 140 d of the test, and total feed conversion (FC) until progeny reached 8.89 mm of back fat were obtained separately by conversion groups and sexes and for combined feed conversion groups and sexes. In general, weights were more important than linear body measurements in prediction of feed utilization. To some extent this was expected as weight is related directly to gain which is a component of feed conversion. Weight at 112 d was the most important variable in prediction of feed conversion when data from both feed conversion groups and sexes were combined. Weights at 84 and 140 d were important variables in prediction of UNADFC and FC, respectively, of bulls. ONTSTWT and weight at 140 d had the highest standardized partial regression coefficients for UNADFC and ADJFC, respectively, of heifers. Results indicated that linear measurements, such as MC, HDL and HOPIN, are useful in prediction of feed conversion when feed in takes are unavailable.

VBR(variable bit rate) MPEG 비디오 트래픽의 가장 큰 특징은 픽쳐 형태별로 통계 특성과 GOP(group of pictures)구조에 따른 주기적인 트래픽 발생 패턴이다. 특히, GOP의 시작인 1-픽쳐에서는 다른 픽쳐들보다 매우 큰 양의 트래픽이 발생한다. 따라서, VBR MPEG비디오 정보원이 다중화 될 때, 이들의 시작 시간 배열은 ATM 다중화기의 셀 손실 특성에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 VBR MPEG 비디오 정보원들이 임의의 시작 시간 배열을 갖는 환경하에서의 ATM 다중화기의 성능 해석 모델을 제안하였다. 성능 해석을 위하여 개별 트래픽과 다중화된 트래픽을 NDPP(non-deterministic periodic process)로서 모델링 하였고, 다중화기는 U-state NDPP/D/1/B 큐잉 시스템으로 모델링 하였다. 해석 결과는 모의 실험의 결과와 매우 유사한 경향임을 보여준다. 시작 시간 배열과 ATM 다중화기의 성능간의 관계를 고찰함으로서. 다중화 성능을 최대화하도록 다중화되는 VBR MPEG 비디오 정보원들의 시작 시간을 배열하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다.
