This study developed a new ceramics in which natural zeolite was mixed and calcined with industrial by-product such as converter slag, red mud, and fly ash and evaluated the feasibility of the ceramics for removal of heavy metals in acid wastewater. The removal rate of heavy metal by ceramics increased in the order of ZS (zeolite and slag) > ZR (zeolite and red mud) > ZF (zeolite and fly ash) ceramics. The alkalinity increment and coherence of ceramics were increased in the order of ZS > ZR > ZF ceramics. The mixing ratio of natural zeolite to industrial by-product for maximum removal efficiency of heavy metal was 1:1 for ZS ceramics and 1:3 for ZR and ZF ceramics. The order of removal efficiency of heavy metal was observed to be ZS > ZR > ZF ceramics under the mixing ratio of 1:1 for ZS ceramics and 1:3 for ZR and ZF ceramics. The removal efficiency of heavy metal by ZS ceramics with 1:1 mixing ratio was Al 100%, Cd 54.6%, Cr 99.9%, Cu 98.7%, Fe 99.9%, Mn 42.2%, Ni 59.9%, Pb 99.8%, Zn 87.6%, respectively. In addition, the removal capacity of heavy metal by ZS ceramics was observed to be Al 2.01 mM/g, Cd 0.27 mM/g, Cr 1.02 mM/g, Cu 0.83 mM/g, Fe 0.95 mM/g, Mn 0.41 mM/g, Ni 0.55 mM/g, Pb 0.25 mM/g, Zn 0.70 mM/g, respectively. The comparative evaluation in the light of removal capacity, alkalinity increment, and coherence of ceramics showed the ZS ceramics had higher feasibility as a media than others for removal of heavy metals in acid wastewater.

In this paper, we study the role of cooperative relays to provide and improve secure communication rates through decodeand-forward (DF) strategies in a full-duplex multiple relay network with an eavesdropper. We consider the DF scheme as a basis for cooperation and propose several strategies that implement different versions of this scheme suited for cooperation with multiple relays. Our goal is to give an efficient cooperation paradigm based on the DF scheme to provide and improve secrecy in a multiple relay network. We first study the DF strategy for secrecy in a single relay network. We propose a suboptimal DF with zero forcing (DF/ZF) strategy for which we obtain the optimal power control policy. Next, we consider the multiple relay problem. We propose three different strategies based on DF/ZF and obtain their achievable secrecy rates. The first strategy is a single hop strategy whereas the other two strategies are multiple hop strategies. In the first strategy, we show that it is possible to eliminate all the relays' signals from the eavesdropper's observation (full ZF), however, the achievable secrecy rate is limited by the worst source-relay channel. Our second strategy overcomes the drawback of the first strategy, however, with the disadvantage of enabling partial ZF only. Our third strategy provides a reasonable compromise between the first two strategies. That is, in this strategy, full ZF is possible and the rate achieved does not suffer from the drawback of the first strategy. We conclude our study by a set of numerical results to illustrate the performance of each of the proposed strategies in terms of the achievable rates in different practical scenarios.

본 논문에서는 Sphere decoder의 최대 복잡도 문제를 극복하기 위한 기법을 소개한다. 최소 근접 격자점을 탐색하는 과정 중 접근하는 노드의 회수에 제한을 두고, 만약 노드 접근 회수가 제한치를 넘으면, 가장 최근에 접근한 노드와 초기 단계의 ZF 검출 값을 이용해서 제 1 후보 심볼을 얻는다. 그리고 ZF 검출 값을 이용해서 제 2 후보 심볼 벡터를 얻은후, 이 두 후보 심볼 벡터 중 수신 신호와 유클리드 거리가 작은 후보 심볼 벡터를 최종적으로 검출한 심볼 벡터로 얻는다. 또한 제한치 설정에 따른 SER 성능의 upper bound를 이론적으로 분석하였다. 전산 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 높은 SNR 영역에서는 SER 성능에서 최대 0.5dB의 열화가 있었으나, 평균 복잡도와 최대 복잡도가 기존의 제안된 sphere decoder에 비해 상당히 줄어든 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 협력 빔형성(Coordinated Multi-Point Coordinated Beamforming : CoMP CB) 시나리오에서 인접한 사용자들 때문에 발생되는 간섭(Inter User Interference : IUI)을 제거하기 위해 사용된 Block Diagonal Geometric Mean Decomposition(BD-GMD)기반의 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 Successive Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio(SSLNR) 환경에서의 ZF(Zero-Forcing)에 적용하여 누출 전력을 제거한다. 또 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 사용했을 시 문제가 되는 원하는 신호 전력(Desired signal power)의 크기를 크게 보장할 수 없다는 점을 보완하기 위해 적절한 채널 열 순열(Channel ordering)을 수행하여 원하는 신호의 전력을 높인다. IUI 제거 알고리즘 사용과 적절한 채널 열 순열을 통해 기존의 SSLNR-Zero-Forcing Tomlinson Harashima precoding(ZF-THP) 기법보다 더 나은 비트오류확률(Bit Error Rate : BER)성능을 낼 수 있다.

Phthalates and their metabolites are well-known endocrine disrupting chemicals. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been widely used in industry and the exposing possibility to adult is high. In this study, DEHP was treated (133 ㎍/L and 1,330 ㎍/L in drinking water) according to the OECD test guideline 443 to mature female mice and their adrenal gland were examined for histological characteristics and steroidogenic gene expression. The wet weight of the adrenal gland was increased in all administrated groups compared to control. The diameter of zona fasciculata (ZF) was increased by DEHP in both outer ZF and inner ZF but there was no difference in morphology of the cells and arrangements into zona between groups. In addition, the arrangement of extracellular matrix was not different between control and DEHP groups. CYP11B1 was mainly localized at ZF and the intensity was not different between groups. DAX1 was localized in zona glomerulosa (ZG) and ZF, and its expression levels were decreased by DEHP administration. Its level was lower in DEHP133 group than DEHP1330 group. On the other hand, CYP17A1 was localized in ZG of DEHP1330 group. These results suggest that chronic low-dose DEHP exposing may modify the microstructure and function of the adrenal cortical cortex.

Let p be an analytic function defined on the open unit disk 𝔻. We obtain certain differential subordination implications such as ψ(p) := p^λ(z)(α+βp(z)+γ/p(z)+δzp'(z)/p^j(z)) ≺ h(z) (j = 1, 2) implies p ≺ q, where h is given by ψ(q) and q belongs to 𝒫, by finding the conditions on α, β, γ, δ and λ. Further as an application of our derived results, we obtain sufficient conditions for normalized analytic function f to belong to various subclasses of starlike functions, or to satisfy |log(zf'(z)/f(z))| < 1, |(zf'(z)/f(z))² - 1| < 1 and zf'(z)/f(z) lying in the parabolic region v² < 2u - 1.

Further f(z) is said to belong to the class $C_p*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})\;if\;zf'(z)/p{\in}S_p*(\alpha,\beta,\mu)$. In this paper we obtain for these classes sharp results concerning coefficient estimates, disortion theorems, closure theorems, Hadamard products and some distortion theorems for the fractional calculus.

This paper applies transmit antenna selection algorithms to spatial-temporal combining-based spatial multiplexing (SM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The employed criterion is based on the largest minimum output signal-to-noise ratio of the multiplexed streams. It is shown via simulations that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the SM UWB systems based on the two-dimensional Rake receiver is significantly improved by antenna diversity through transmit antenna selection on a log-normal multipath fading channel. When the transmit antenna diversity through antenna selection is exploited in the SM UWB systems, the BER performance of the spatial-temporal combining-based zero-forcing (ZF) receiver is also compared with that of the ZF detector followed by the Rake receiver.
