  • Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a gastrointestinal hormone which plays an important role in satiety and gastric motility. It is also widely distributed throughout the central nervous system, where it appears to be involved in the central control of anxiety, feeding behavior and nociception. Two distinct CCK receptor types, $CCK_A$ and $CCK_B,$ have been found in the brain. Both CCK receptors coexist in the rat nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), which is the primary center for the coordination of peripheral and central activities related to gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and respiratory functions. In order to study ionic actions of CCK on each type of receptor, we investigated the effects of CCK-8S on neurons located in the NTS of the rat using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in brainstem slices. Application of CCK-8S, under current clamp, produced a membrane depolarization accompanied by action potential firing. This CCK-evoked excitation was dose-dependent $(10\;nM{\sim}10\;{\mu}M)$ and observed in more than 60% of NTS neurons. Under voltage clamp conditions, CCK-8S induced an inward current with a notably increased spontaneous excitatory synaptic activity. However, CCK-8S did not significantly change the amplitude of pharmacologically isolated and evoked EPSP(C)s. Using selective $CCK_A$ and $CCK_B$ receptor antagonists, we observed two different effects of CCK-8S, which suggest $CCK_A$ receptor-mediated inhibitory and $CCK_B$ receptor-mediated excitatory effects in the NTS. These results may help to explain the ability of CCK to modulate gastrointestinal and other reflex systems in the NTS.

  • Striatum plays a crucial role in the movement control and habitual learning. It receives an information from wide area of cerebral cortex as well as an extensive serotonergic (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) input from raphe nuclei. In the present study, the effects of 5-HT to modulate synaptic transmission were studied in the rat corticostriatal brain slice using in vitro extracellular recording technique. Synaptic responses were evoked by stimulation of cortical glutamatergic inputs on the corpus callosum and recorded in the dorsal striatum. 5-HT reversibly inhibited coticostriatal glutamatergic synaptic transmission in a dose-dependent fashion (5, 10, 50, and $10{\mu}M$), maximally reducing in the corticostriatal population spike (PS) amplitude to $40.1{\pm}5.0$% at a concentration of $50{\mu}M$ 5-HT. PSs mediated by non-NMDA glutamate receptors, which were isolated by bath application of the NMDA receptor antagonist, d,l-2-amino-5-phospohonovaleric acid (AP-V), were decreased by application of $50{\mu}M$ 5-HT. However, PSs mediated by NMDA receptors, that were activated by application of zero $Mg^{2+}$ aCSF, were not significantly affected by $50{\mu}M$ 5-HT. To test whether the corticostriatal synaptic inhibitions by 5-HT might involve a change in the probability of neurotransmitter release from presynaptic nerve terminals, we measured the paired-pulse ratio (PPR) evoked by 2 identical pulses (50 ms interpulse interval), and found that PPR was increased ($33.4{\pm}5.2$%) by 5-HT, reflecting decreased neurotransmitter releasing probability. These results suggest that 5-HT may decrease neurotransmitter release probability of glutamatergic corticostriatal synapse and may be able to selectively decrease non-NMDA glutamate receptor-mediated synaptic transmission.

  • 본 논문은 TV 출력 기능이 필요한 기기를 위한 비디오 인코더의 설계에 관한 것이다. 설계된 비디오 인코더는 International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication (ITU-R) BT.470 표준을 모두 지원한다. ITU-R BT.470에는 NTSC, PAL, SECAM의 3가지로 구분되는데, NTSC와 PAL은 색차 신호를 전송하기 위해서 진폭변조(AM)를 사용하고, SECAM은 주파수변조(FM)를 사용한다. SECAM에서는 anti-cloche 필터가 필요한데, 표준(ITU-R BT.470)에서 권장하는 필터의 특성이 아주 예리해서 이전까지는 아날로그 필터를 사용하여 설계하였다. 본 논문에서는 anti-cloche 필터를 디지털 필터로 설계하고 필터의 특성을 설계하기 쉽도록 바꾸었다. 그리고 표준에서 요구하는 결과와 동일하도록 수정된 변조 방법을 제안한다. 또한 핸드폰 등의 모바일 기기에 적용 할 수 있도록 동작 모드에 따른 소비전력을 가변 하였다. 제안된 비디오 인코더는 Altera사의 FPGA APEX20K1000-EBC652-3과 삼성 LCD-TV를 이용하여 실시간 검증을 수행하였다.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate the coordination patterns of the sternocleidomastoid and posterior cervical muscles in response to symmetrical and asymmetrical jaw functions in normal adults. Methods: Twenty-seven healthy volunteers (8 females, 19 males; mean age, $30.4{\pm}2.5$ years) participated in this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to record activities in the masseter, suprahyoid, sternocleidomastoid, and posterior cervical muscles at rest and during maximum tooth clenching, biting of a cotton roll with the anterior teeth, unilateral biting of a cotton roll with the posterior teeth, bilateral biting of cotton rolls with the posterior teeth, and jaw opening while seated. Normalized amplitude, activity indices, and asymmetry indices were compared between the muscles and the jaw tasks. Results: During symmetrical jaw functions (e.g., tooth clenching, biting with the anterior teeth, bilateral biting with the posterior teeth, jaw opening), the sternocleidomastoid and posterior cervical muscles showed elevated EMG amplitudes compared with the resting condition. The co-activation pattern of the sternocleidomastoid muscle was more pronounced than those of the posterior cervical muscles during these tasks. During asymmetrical jaw functions (e.g., unilateral biting with the posterior teeth), the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid and masseter muscles showed higher contraction activity than did the contralateral muscles, but the contralateral posterior cervical muscles were more active than the ipsilateral muscles. Conclusions: The sternocleidomastoid and posterior cervical muscles were shown to be co-activated and coordinated anteroposteriorly or bilaterally according to symmetrical or asymmetrical jaw function. These results suggest an integrated neural control mechanism for the jaw and neck muscles, and provide further evidence supporting the intimate functional coupling between the trigeminal and cervical neuromuscular systems.

  • 본 연구는 두 지점간의 진동수 응답함수를 이용하여 시간 및 진동수 영역에서의 원심펌프(20Hp. 50Hp) 가진력을 추정하기 위한 것이다. 진동수 응답함수는 실수부와 허수부에 대한 신호정보를 가지고 있으며 응답함수 역시 실수부와 허수부에 대한 신호정보를 가지고 있다 따라서 이들 진동수 응답함수 및 응답함숴의 복소수 계산으로부터 가진력을 실험적으로 구하였으며 이론적인 방법에 의하여 구한 가진력과 실험적으로 구한 값을 비교함으로서 펌프에 의한 주진동수 성분의 크기는 펌프 및 모터중량의 10-25% 정도가 됨을 제시하였다. 가진력 산정을 위한 시간영역에서의 불평형질량의 크기는 펌프 및 모터중량의 약 30-60%임을 알수 있었다 한편 펌프회전에 의한 진동은 주진동수 이외에도 주진동수의 2-3배의 크기를 갖는 성분이 있음을 알 수 있었으며 대상 콘크리트 슬래브의 고유진동수와의 가진진도수비를 달리함에 따라 정확한 진동전달률을 조절하는데 활용할 수 있다.

  • As thermosonic ball bonding is developed for more and more advanced applications in the electronic packaging industry, the control of process stresses induced on the integrated circuits becomes more important. If Cu bonding wire is used instead of Au wire, larger ultrasonic levels are common during bonding. For advanced microchips the use of Cu based wire is risky because the ultrasonic stresses can cause chip damage. This risk needs to be managed by e.g. the use of ultrasound during the impact stage of the ball on the pad ("pre-bleed") as it can reduce the strain hardening effect, which leads to a softer deformed ball that can be bonded with less ultrasound. To find the best profiles of ultrasound during impact, a numerical model is reported for ultrasonic bonding with capillary dynamics combined with a geometrical model describing ball deformation based on volume conservation and stress balance. This leads to an efficient procedure of ball bond modelling bypassing plasticity and contact pairs. The ultrasonic force and average stress at the bond zone are extracted from the numerical experiments for a $50{\mu}m$ diameter free air ball deformed by a capillary with a hole diameter of $35{\mu}m$ at the tip, a chamfer diameter of $51{\mu}m$, a chamfer angle of $90^{\circ}$, and a face angle of $1^{\circ}$. An upper limit of the ultrasonic amplitude during impact is derived below which the ultrasonic shear stress at the interface is not higher than 120 MPa, which can be recommended for low stress bonding.

  • 제4세대 무선 통신은 송신기와 수신기양단에 다중 안테나와 순시 채널의 상태 정보를 이용함으로써 LDPC와 OFDM 무선 전송에 있어서 MQAM(M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)을 사용하는 적응 공간 부반송파 부호화 변조 방식에 기반으로 하고 있다. 적응 부호화 변조는 시변 협대역 무선 채널에 대해서 대역 효율이 좋은 전송방식으로 인식되어 가고 있다. 전력이 제한된 AWGN 채널에 대해서, LDPC 부호들은 오류 제어 부호의 한 부류이며 이는 어떤 조건하에서는 터보부호보다 오류 정정 능력이 더 좋은 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 MIMO 시스템에 적용된 LDPC 부호를 갖는 OFDM 방식과 적응 변조방식에 대해서 서술한다. 채널의 순시 정보를 알고 있다고 가정함으로써 각 부반송파에 대해서 비트와 전력 할당을 얻기 위한 최적화 알고리즘이 사용되였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안한 시스템이 가능성을 가짐을 보여준다.

  • 본 논문에서는 슬롯을 가진 마이크로스트립 사각 패치 형태의 balun-BPF를 제안한다. 기존의 balun-BPF는 대역폭이 좁고 손실이 다소 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 이런 점을 개선하기 위해 사각 패치 평면에 수직으로 교차하는 슬롯을 넣고 한 모서리에 perturbation을 준 구조를 제시한다. 이러한 구조는 패치의 공간을 최대로 활용하기 때문에 손실을 줄일 수 있고 또한, 슬롯의 길이를 변화시킴으로써 주파수를 조절하고 대역폭을 넓힐 수 있다. 시험 제작된 balun-BPF는 2.4 GHz 대역에서 300 MHz(12.7 %)의 넓은 대역폭과 0.56 dB의 낮은 삽입 손실을 가지며, 두 출력 포트 간에 $184^{\circ}{\pm}15^{\circ}$ 이내의 위상차와 1 dB 이내의 출력차를 나타낸다.
