In this paper, we analyze the communication performance in a time synchronous multi-channel environment and deal with a packet collision avoidance technique to improve it based on IEEE1609.4 for increasing the efficiency of the control channel IEEE802.11p WAVE communication system. In previous works, they tried to solve this problem by message scheduling method on application layer software or changing the value of the random back-off optionally Contention Window. In this paper, we propose a method for adjusting the Channel Guard Interval for packet collision avoidance. The performance was evaluated by the actual vehicle test. The result was confirmed performance over 90% PDR(Packet Delivery Ratio).

Corky root symptoms caused by Pyrenochaeta lycopersici were observed on the roots and stem base of tomato plants in Korea. Symptoms on infected plants typically appeared as stunting and generally lacking vigor, and infected plants die back from the foliage tips after fruits have set. Brown lesions appearing with bands around the roots were characteristic symptoms of the disease. The lesions become swollen and cracked along the length of the root with corky appearance. Based on cultural and morphological characteristics, the fungus from the diseased plants was identified as Pyrenochaeta lycopersici. Pycnidia were solitary, globose to subglobose, brown to black, darker around the neck region, and measured 173-215 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter with septate setae up to 102-132$\times$6.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were hyaline, unicellular, and 4.2-4.7$\times$l.5-2.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ long. Optimum temperature for mycelial growth of the p. lycopersici isolates ranged from $20^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$. Fifteen isolates off lycopersici were tested for pathogenicity to susceptible and tolerant cultivars of tomato plants by artificial inoculation. Three isolates of P. lycopersici induced typical corky root discoloration on susceptible tomato cultivars but not on tolerant tomato. This is the Erst report in Korea of tomato corky root disease caused by P. lycopersici.

CFD flow simulation of vehicles with open sunroof and passenger window help the automotive OEM(original equipment manufacturer) to identify the low frequency noise levels in the cabin. The lock-in and lock-off phenomena observed in the experimental studies of sunroof buffeting is well predicted by CFD speed sweep calculations over the operating speed range of the vehicle. The trend of the shear layer oscillation frequency with vehicle speed is also well predicted. The peak SPL from the CFD calculation has a good compromise with the experimental value after incorporating the real world effects into the CFD model by means of artificial compressibility and damping correction. The entire process right from modeling to flow analysis as well as acoustic analysis has been performed within the single environment i.e., STAR-CCM+.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a high efficiency Doherty power amplifier using gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The carrier and peaking amplifiers of the proposed Doherty power amplifier consist of the switching-mode Class-E power amplifiers. The test conditions are a duty of 10% and a pulse width of $100\;{\mu}s$ and pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 1 kHz for a S-band radar application. A RF performance peak PAE of 64% with drain efficiency of 80.6%, at 6 dB output back-off point from saturated output power of 45.5 dBm, was obtained at 2.85 GHz.

Objective : To assess the clinical and radiological factors as predictors for successful outcomes in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treatment. Methods : Two groups of patients with single level LDH (L4-5) requiring treatment were retrospectively studied. The surgery group (SG) included 34 patients, and 30 patients who initially refused the surgery were included in the nerve blocks group (NG). A visual analogue scale (VAS) for leg and back pain and motor deficit were initially evaluated before procedures, and repeated at 1, 6, and 12 months. Radiological factors including the disc herniation length, disc herniation area, canal length-occupying ratio, and canal area-occupying ratio were measured and compared. Predicting factors of successful outcomes were determined with multivariate logistic regression analysis after the optimal cut off values were established with a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results : There was no significant demographic difference between two groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis with radiological and clinical (12 months follow-up) data revealed that the high disc herniation length with cutoff value 6.31 mm [odds ratio (OR) 2.35; confidence interval (CI) 1.21-3.98] was a predictor of successful outcomes of leg pain relief in the SG. The low disc herniation length with cutoff value 6.23 mm (OR 0.05; CI 0.003-0.89) and high baseline VAS leg (OR 12.63; CI 1.64-97.45) were identified as predictors of successful outcomes of leg pain relief in the NG. Conclusion : The patients with the disc herniation length larger than 6.31 mm showed successful outcomes with surgery whereas the patients with the disc herniation length less than 6.23 mm showed successful outcomes with nerve block. These results could be considered as a radiological criteria in choosing optimal treatment options for LDH.

For efficient welding it is necessary to maintain stability of the welding process and control the shape of the welding bead. The welding quality can be controlled by monitoring important parameters, such as, the Arc Voltage, Welding Current and Welding Speed during the welding process. Welding systems use either a vision sensor or an Arc sensor, both of which are unable to control these parameters directly. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain necessary bead geometry without automatically controlling the welding parameters through the sensors. In this paper we propose a novel approach using fuzzy logic and neural networks for improving welding qualify and maintaining the desired weld bead shape. Through experiments we demonstrate that the proposed system can be used for real welding processes. The results demonstrate that the system can efficiently estimate the weld bead shape and remove the welding detects.

In this paper, we presents an analytical simulation procedure for evaluation in baseband digital modulated signals distortions in the present of RF power amplifier(SSPA) nonlinear behavior and backoff operations of OFDM wireless transmission system. we obtained the optimum nonlinear transfer function of designed SSPA with the SiGe HBT bias currents of OFDM multi-channel wireless transmission system and compared this transfer function to SSPA nonlinear modeling functions mathematically, we finds optimum bias conditions of designed SSPA. With the derived nonlinear modeling function of SSPA, We analysed the PSD characteristics of in-band and out-band output powers of SSPA EVM measurement results of distorted constellation signals with the input power levels of SSPA. The results of paper can be applied to find the SSPA linearly with optimum bias currents and determine the SSPA input backoff bias for AGC control circuits of SSPA.

현재 많은 blue LED소자의 제작 공정과 소자 표면에 texturing하는 과정이 보고되어 있다. 그 중n층이 위로 올라오는 수직형 LED 구조로 인해 표면 texturing 기술은 빛의 발광 효율을 증가 시킬 수 있는 중요한 기술 중 하나가 되었다. 1 이 연구에서, 우리는 InGaN을 바탕으로 한 LED 소자의 표면 roughening을 건식과 습식 공정을 모두 거치는 과정을 통하여 소자의 발광 효율을 높이는 시도를 하였다. 최근 전도성 물질 기판 위에 증착 되어 있는 수직형 LED 소자 2,3,4는 과거의 사파이어 기판 위에 증착 되어 있는 형태의 LED 소자에 비해 우수한 소자 특성을 보인다. 이는 과거 사파이어 기판을 사용함으로써 낮은 열적 특성과 더불어 전기 정도성에 몇 가지 제약을 초래하게 되었기 때문이다. 반면, 전도성 기판은 LED 구조의 back side ohmic contact을 가능하게 하였고, 더 나은 확산 특성을 보여 주었고 작동 전압 또한 감소 하였다. N층이 위에 있는 수직형 LED 소자는 KrF pulsed excimer laser로 인해 실현 되었다. 이 laser 빛이 투명한 사파이어 기판을 통해 얇은 GaN층에 입사되면, 기판과 GaN가 분리된다. 이 레이저 기술은 laser lift-off(LLO)로 성장된 기판으로부터 LED 구조를 분리하는데 성공하게 하였다. 우리는 건식 식각 공정을 이용하여 n 층이 위에 올라와 있는 구조인 수직형 LED 소자에 roughening을 주고 다시 이 표면에 습식 식각 공정을 적용하여 거친 부분의 거칠기를 또 한번 증가시켰다. 그리고 이 거칠어진 표면은 이 공정이 진행 되기 전의 소자에 비해 빛의 발광 효율이 증가 되었다. 이 두 공정을 포함한 식각 공정은 두 가지 장점이 생겼는데, 한가지는 GaN에서 외부로 방출할 수 있는 표면 지역이 증가되었고, 다른 한가지는 가파른 거칠기 특성으로 인해 critical angle을 증가시킨 것이다.

Distribution pattern and fishing conditions of sandfish, Arctoscopus japonicus in the East Sae were explored using catch and catch per unit effort (CPUE) by eastern sea Danish seine and coastal gill net fisheries from 2004 to 2008. A. japonicus was one of major target species for the eastern sea Danish seine and coastal gill net fisheries in the East Sea, which were caught from April to October for the eastern Danish seine, and from October to December for the coastal gill net, respectively. In recent, the distribution and centroid of fishing ground moved northward, as seawater temperature increased. The species spawned in the coastal areas of Gangwon, northern East Sea, during winter, started to move to deeper water after spawning from spring, extended widely from Gangwon to Ulsan, southern East Sea, during summer, and migrated back to the spawning ground off Gangwon during autumn.

In this paper, we present the hardware implementation of a smart antenna test-bed for a real -time performance analysis of the beam-forming algorithm operating in a wide-band CDMA environments of the WLL(Wireless Local Loop) standard. The test-bed introduced in this paper includes an external PC and signal generating module as well as the beam-forming module in order to perform, analyze, and evaluate the performance of the proposed smart antenna system. In the beam-forming module, the optimal weight vector is provided by the modified CGM algorithm. The computed weight vector is transferred back to the external PC for the performance analysis based on the off-line processing. From our analysis obtained in the hardware of the test-bed, it is concluded that the proposed smart antenna system for the WLL system is appropriate for enhancing the communication quality and capacity tremendously at the cell-site of the CDMA environment.
