Living cationic polymerization behaviors of isobutyl vinyl ehters (IBVE), initiated by iodomethyl methyl ether (IMME)/zinc iodide ($Znl_2$) have been investigated. The polymerization was carried out at 0, -15, and $-30^{\circ}C$ in toluene. It was found that the rate of polymerization increased as the IMME concentration increased and decreased as temperature decreased. 100% conversion was always achieved without exception. Furthermore, the number-average molecular weight ($M_{n}$) of polymers increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion. The molecular weights of polymers were in good agreement with the theoretical values, calculated on the basis that one polymer chain was formed by one IMME molecule and the values of polydispersity index are always less than 1.2, revealing the living nature. The living nature was also confirmed by synthesis of poly(IBVE-b-TBVE) by subsequent monomer addition of t-butyl vinyl ether (TBVE).

To improve the drawback of LCMPPT(Limit Cycle Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller of the existing two power conversion stages, an advanced MPPT scheme of single power conversion stage is proposed in this paper. This topology is faster on the control speed by means of current control method and the system configuration is simpler. The Authors produce a battery charger by using a cost effective one-chip processor (PIC16F877A) and evaluate another application on the basis of simulation. As a result, the proposed new LCMPPT algorithm is confirmed to be stable and useful.

Medicare에서는 급증하는 진료비 증가를 통제하고 양질의 의료서비스를 제공하기 위하여 일종의 예산통제시스템인 SGR을 도입하여 시행하고 있다. SGR에 대한 비판이 있긴 하나 진료비 급증을 통제하는데 나름대로 기여한 것으로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노인인구증가, 급여율 증가 등으로 의료비가 급증하고 있는 우리나라의 현 상황에서 Medicare의 SGR의 의미, 문제점을 살펴보고 수가계약제가 시행되고 있는 우리의 경우 성공적으로 SGR을 적용하기 위한 전제 조건 등을 살펴본다.

본 논문은 DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) 영역에서의 압축 동영상 하향 전환기법 (down conversion)을 제안한다. DCT 영역에서의 하향 전환이 완전 복호화한 후 공간 영역에서 하향 전환하는 것보다 계산량 측면에서 상당한 이점이 있다. 또한 복호기 루프 내에서 영상 크기가 줄기 때문에 메모리의 부담을 덜 수 있다. 가장 간다한 방법으로서 복원된 영상의 화질이 약잔 떨어지더라도 계산량과 메모리를 줄이기 위해 8x8 DCT 블록의 저주파 영역의 4x4 DCT 계수만을 추출하여 4x4 IDCT하는 기법이 널리 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 변형된 4x4 IDCT 기저 함수를 이용한 새로운 DCT 영역에서의 하향 전환 기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 기법이 기존의 DCT 영역에서의 하향 전환기법과 같은 계산량 및 메모리로 향상된 PSNR을 갖는다는 것을 보인다.

Quick aging of catalysts has done with IAE(Institute for advanced engineering) AGING MODE suggested by IAE. To estimate the effects of number of aging cycle, temperature and $H_2O$, characteristics of surfaces, mechanical properties and weibull modulus were estimated. Also, the conversion efficiency of aged catalysts was evaluated with model gas bench test. The area of surface and pore volume were decreased according to the number of aging cycle. The precious metal which is well dispersed in fresh state was sintered and agglomerated with aging. The mechanical of deactivation and sintering of catalysts are discussed on the basis of mechanical tests. The conversion efficiency was decreased with the repeats of aging. Especially, the existence of $H_2O$ in supply gas had a main role in catalyst deactivation withy high temperature.

Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) have been under investigation for the past decade due to their attractive features such as high energy conversion efficiency and low production costs. The basis for energy conversion in the injection of electrons from a photoexcited stateof a dye sensitizer into the conduction band of the nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ semiconductor upon absorption of light. It is believed that the DSSC is one of the most promising technologies to solve the significant energy problems. In this article, the development trends and perspective of DSSCs were reviewed.

Considering the rapid growth of elderly population and the increase of medical demand for aged, many of geriatric hospitals are needed in Korea. On the other hand, supplies of hospitals for acute care are considered to be excessive. So many of small and medium hospitals facing management problems have been converged to geriatric hospitals. These attempts are considered resonable for efficient utilization of health care resources in Korea. This paper aims to identify the concept of geriatric hospital and to analyze the problems and then to seek the alternatives for architectural planning on the basis of surveying the geriatric hospitals converged from hospitals for acute care.

The main purpose of the distribution automation system (DAS) is to achieve efficient operation of primary distribution systems by monitoring and control of the feeder remote terminal unit(FRTU) deployed on the distribution feeders. DAS simulators are introduced to verify the functions of the application software installed in the central control unit(CCU) of the DAS. Because each DAS is developed on the basis of its own specific data model, the power system data cannot be easily transferred from the DAS to the simulator or vice versa. This paper presents a common information model(CIM)-based DAS simulator to achieve interoperability between the simulator and the DASs developed by different vendors. The CIM-based data model conversion between Smart DMS (SDMS) and Total DAS (TDAS) has been performed to establish feasibility of the proposed scheme.

Many genetic variants of ${\alpha}_1$-antitrypsin have been associated with early onset emphysema and liver cirrhosis. However, the detailed structural basis of pathogenic ${\alpha}_1$-antitrypsin molecules is rarely known. Here we found that a recombinant $M_{malton}$ variant (Phe52-deleted) lost inhibitory activity by spontaneous conformational conversion into a more stable, inactive form under physiological conditions. Biochemical and spectroscopic data suggested that the variant converts into a reactive center loop-inserted conformation, resembling the latent form of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.

This paper describes an integrated CAD and CAPP system for prismatic parts of injection mold which generates a complete process plan automatically from CAD data of a part without human intervention. This system employs Auto CAD as a CAD model and GS-CAPP as an automatic process planning system for injection mold. The proposed CAD/CAPP system consists of three modules such as CAD data conversion module, manufacturing feature recognition module, and CAD/CAPP interface module. CAD data conversion module transforms design data of AutoCAD into three dimensional part data. Manufacturing feature recognition module extracts specific manufacturing features of a part using feature recognition rule base. Each feature can be recognized by combining geometry, position and size of the feature. CAD/CAPP interface module links manufacturing feature codes and other head data to automatic process planning system. The CAD/CAPP system can improve the efficiency of process planning activities and reduce the time required for process planning. This system can provide a basis for the development of part feature based design by analyzing manufacturing features.
