  • In this study, we propose a new logarithmic barrier approach to solve linear programming problem using the projective method of Karmarkar. We are interested in computation of the direction by Newton's method and of the step-size using minorant functions instead of line search methods in order to reduce the computation cost. Our new approach is even more beneficial than classical line search methods. We reinforce our purpose by many interesting numerical simulations proved the effectiveness of the algorithm developed in this work.

  • An analytical threshold voltage model is proposed to analyze the threshold voltage roll-off and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) for a junction-based double-gate (JBDG) MOSFET and a junction-less double-gate (JLDG) MOSFET. We used the series-type potential distribution function derived from the Poisson equation, and observed that it is sufficient to use n=1 due to the drastic decrease in eigenvalues when increasing the n of the series-type potential function. The threshold voltage derived from this threshold voltage model was in good agreement with the result of TCAD simulation. The threshold voltage roll-off of the JBDG MOSFET was about 57% better than that of the JLDG MOSFET for a channel length of 25 nm, channel thickness of 10 nm, and oxide thickness of 2 nm. The DIBL of the JBDG MOSFET was about 12% better than that of the JLDG MOSFET, at a gate metal work-function of 5 eV. It was also found that decreasing the work-function of the gate metal significantly reduces the DIBL.

  • The root of Codonopsis lanceolata has been used in traditional medicine. This study was conducted to confirm the comparative effect of ethanol solvent extraction (CLE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (CLS) of C. lanceolata roots. CLS had higher antioxidant than CLE. For supercritical co-solvent modified carbon dioxide extraction (CLS), it were extracted at 250 bar 50℃ 150 min at a flow rate of ethyl alcohol 3 mL/min for 90min. In addition, CLS inhibited the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. When treated with the extract at a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway reporter luciferase activity of HEK 293-TOP cells increased approximately by 3-folds compared to that of the untreated control group. Also, the treatment by CLS (50 ㎍/mL) showed a significant increase of involucrin expression. These results indicate that supercritical carbon dioxide extract of C. lanceolatamay serve as a cosmeceutical agent for improving skin barrier function and the treatment of obesity.

  • We studied the dependence of the performance of schottky barrier metal-oxide-field effect transistors(SB MOSFETs) on the work function of source/drain metals. A strong impact of the various work functions and the light wavelengths on the transistor characteristics is found and explained using experimental data. We used an insulator of a high thickness (100nm) and back gate issues in SOI substrate, subthreshold swing was measured to 300~400[mV/dec] comparing with a ideal subthreshold swing of 60[mV/dec]. Excellent characteristics of Al/Si was demonstrated higher on/off current ratios of ${\sim}10^7$ than others. In addition, extensive photoresponse analysis has been performed using halogen and deuterium light sources(200<$\lambda$<2000nm).

  • 실제적인 문제에서 신뢰성 기반 최적 설계(RBDO)를 구현하기 위해서는 유한요소 모델을 해석하기 위한 상용 프로그램과 설계한 것에 대한 신뢰성을 산정할 수 있는 프로그램을 통합하고 최적화 알고리듬을 적용하여야 최적화를 수행하여야만 한다. 또한 최적화 과정에서 최적상태에서 제약조건이 비활성 영역에서 놓이게 되는 것을 방지하기 위해서 제약조건 최적화 문제를 비제약 조건 최적화 문제로 바꾸어 주는 장애 함수를 사용하여 최적화를 수행하였다. 그리고 이 방법론을 기존의 신뢰성기반 최적화 방법론, 즉 신뢰도지수 접근방법과 목표성능치 접근방법과의 비교를 하였다.

  • The disease known as cerebral cavernous malformations mostly occurs in the central nervous system, and their typical histological presentations are multiple lumen formation and vascular leakage at the brain capillary level, resulting in disruption of the blood-brain barrier. These abnormalities result in severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, focal neurological deficits and hemorrhagic strokes. CCM research has identified 'loss of function' mutations of three ccm genes responsible for the disease and also complex regulation of multiple signaling pathways including the WNT/β-catenin pathway, TGF-β and Notch signaling by the ccm genes. Although CCM research is a relatively new and small scientific field, as CCM research has the potential to regulate systemic blood vessel permeability and angiogenesis including that of the blood-brain barrier, this field is growing rapidly. In this review, I will provide a brief overview of CCM pathogenesis and function of ccm genes based on recent progress in CCM research.

  • Instead of very expensive sound record and professional measurement microphones the low cost Surface Mounted Device (SMD) microphones are proposed for practical barrier ANC system. FRF of the microphones and theirs sensitivity to the wind interferences are evaluated in semi anechoic chamber. The improvement of feedforward algorithm noise reduction index was evaluated based on measured coherence function between tested SMD and reference microphone. Test was performed at various wind speed from 1 m/s to 5 m/s.

  • Salmonella pullorum strain W was serially passaged on the brain heart infusion agar containing acrdine orange(AO) as a concentration of 100 mcg/ml. S. pullorum AO60 and S. pullorum AO150, which were subcultured 60 and 150 passages on AO media, were examined for permeability barrier function of the cell wall. AO60 and AO150 were appeared to be decreased in susceptibility against hydrophobic substances such as crystal violet, chloramphenicol and rifamycin, which might be resulted from the changes of permeability barrier function of the cell wall. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of bacterial protein, the protein profiles of AO6O and AO150 didn't differ significantly from W, but increased amount of the band of MW 140,000-145,000 was confirmed. And [G+C] contents of DNA in AO60 and A0150 were decreased than that of W.

  • In this study, an extended-state-observer (ESO) based non-linear servo control is introduced for an electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA). Almost hydraulic systems not only are highly non-linear system that has mismatched uncertainties and external disturbances, but also can not measure some states. ESO that only use an output signal can be used to compensate these uncertainties and estimate unmeasurable states. To improve the position tracking performance, the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) that can guarantee an output tolerance is introduced for the position tracking error signal of back stepping control procedures. Finally, the proposed servo control is compared with the proportional-integral (PI) control.
