The inhibition ability of N,N-bis(2,4-dihydroxyhydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine (DHBP) as a schiff base against the corrosion of API-5L-X65 steel in 1 M HCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance studies indicated that DHBP inhibited corrosion by blocking the active corrosion sites. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations. EIS data was analysed to equivalent circuit model and showed that the charge transfer resistance of steel increased with increasing inhibitor concentration whilst the double layer capacitance decreased. The adsorption of this compound obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Gibbs free energy of adsorption was calculated and indicated that adsorption occurred through physical and spontaneous process. The corrosion inhibition mechanism was studied by potential of zero charge. Polarization studies indicated that DHBP retards both the cathodic and anodic reactions through adsorption on steel surface. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the steel surface with and without inhibitor.

The design of LAI(Local Area Identifier), the first paging area for searching the mobile terminal has a close relation with the performance of paging channel in CDMA cellular network. This paper discussed the performance of the forward channel of IS-95 CDMA standard, known as the paging through the related messages such as call control message, channel assignment message, etc. Modeling and simulation work were conducted to quantify the performance of paging channel in terms of traffic handling capacity and blocking levels. The results shown are based on a specific system call model based on the operating system of cell cite. This serves as illustrative guidelines for the proper engineering of common control channel, which has a major impact on the overall performance of cellular network.

본 논문에서는 최근 발생하는 다양한 기후변화 문제에 따라 복합적인 침수가 많이 발생한다고 판단하여 침수의 복합원인을 찾아내고 그에 따른 값을 모의하게 된다. 침수의 요인으로는 크게 제내지 배수불량에 따른 내수침수와 하천의 수위가 높아져 월류하게 되는 외수범람이 존재한다. 기존의 연구들은 내수침수와 외수범람을 독립적으로 침수해석하여 단순한 선형합의 형태로 내외수 침수를 산정하였으나, 본 연구에서는 2차원 동수역학모형인 HDM-2D 모델을 이용하여 내수침수와 외수범람의 독립적인 모의는 물론 복합적인 모의를 하여 비교, 분석 하고자 한다. HDM-2D모델은 3가지 모형으로 구성된다. 첫째는 2차원 천수방석식과 유한요소법 이산화로 구성된 흐름해석 모형이다. 둘째는 ERG (Exponentially Growth Rate) 기법에 의하여 생성/소멸 기작이 적용된 내수침수 해석 모듈이다. 마지막은 Petrov 안정화 기법에 의한 충격파 전달 해석이 적용되며, Flux-blocking 알고리즘으로 마름/젖음을 안정적 모의할 수 있는 외수범람 해석 모듈이다. 이러한 모델을 통해 내수침수와 외수범람을 독립적, 복합적으로 모의를 진행한다.

This paper analyzed the delay characteristics of speech packets in virtual cellular network(VCN). The probability distribution of packet delay is obtained using the markov chain model when periodic speech packets are transmitted by slotted-ALOHA protocol. The effects of probility of capture and retransmission policy on the performance were also analyzed. At first, the probability cumulative function of packet delay is calculated from the probability of capture as a function of location of mobile terminal. In order to investigate the effects of backoff delay, we defined a parameter NPr, where N is the period (frame size) of the speech packets and Pr is the retransmission probability for each speech packet. We also obtained the 1% outage delay for various frame size N.

In recent year, the popularity of WLAN has generated much interests on improvement and performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 protocol. In this paper, we analyze two medium access methods of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol by investigating the MAC layer packet service times when arrival packet sizes have a general probability distribution. We use the M/G/1/K queueing model to analyze the throughput and the delay performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in a wireless LAN. We compare the performances of Basic access method and RTS/CTS access method. We take some numerical examples for the system throughput and the queue dynamics including the mean packet delay and packet blocking probability.

In this paper, the new LIGBT structures with trap injection are proposed to improve switching characteristics of the conventional SOI LIGBT. The Simulations are performed in order to investigate the effects of the positiion, whidth and concentration of trap injection region with a reduced minority carrier lifetime using 2D device simulator MEDICI. Their electrical characteristics are analyzed and the optimum design parameters are extracted. As a result of simulation, the turn off time for the model A with the trap injection is $0.78\mus$. These results indicate the improvement of about 2 times compared with the conventional SOI LIGBT because trap injection prevents minority carriers which is stored in the n-drift region during turn off switching. The latching current is $1.5\times10^{-4}A/\mum$ and forward blocking voltage is 168V which are superior to those of conventional structure. It is shown that the trap injection is very effective to reduce the turn off time with a little increasing of on-state voltage drop if its design and process parameters are optimized.

Glycycoumarin, a 3-arylcoumarine isolated from Glycyrrhizae radix (a family of Leguminosae), is reported to have anti-bacterial activity. However, its antifungal activity is still unknown. In this present study, the antifungal activity of glycycoumarin (GLM) against Candida albicans, a polymorphic fungus was investigated. Possible mechanism such as blocking of the hyphal induction was also analyzed. By the in-vitro susceptibility analysis, GLM showed anticandidal activity, resulting in an almost complete inhibition of the fungal growth at a concentration of 320 ${\mu}g/ml$, which was equivalent to the efficacy of fluconazole at the same dose. In the murine model of disseminated candidiasis GLM enhanced resistance of mice against the disseminated disease (P<0.05), resulting in 60% protection of GLM-treated mice group during a period of 21-day observation. As for its mechanism of the antifungal activity, GLM blocked hyphal production, one of the important of virulence factors by the fungus, from the yeast form of C. albicans (P<0.01). These data indicate that GLM may contribute to the perspectives that focus on the development of a novel agent with antifungal activity specific for C. albicans infection.

LTE-Advanced is the evolved version of LTE which is currently in progress at the 3GPP. At present, as the number of smart phone users is rapidly increasing, the demand for ever more capacity is driven largely by video usage and high quality data communication and so on, this let more researchers study about LTE-A all over the world. LTE-A aims to achieve improved service and communication quality over 3G system at the aspect of throughput, peak data rate, latency, and spectral efficiency. Among various features in LTE-A, the multi-user MIMO(MU-MIMO), in which the base station transmits several streams to multiple receivers, has expected to give better quality for system. In this paper, we investigate performances of various types of downlink receivers with fixed number of antennas. we first review the development process from LTE to LTE-A. Second we introduce TM9 which is adopted in Rel.10 for MU-MIMO system, including the MU-MIMO system model and the explanation on the algorithm used in system. We also have brief introduction about sub-blocking in turbo decoding, finally we compare the performance between the uncoded case and coded case which is using turbo encoding.

The increasing size and speed of cargo ships result in high speed flow in propeller slipstream, and thereby cavitation is frequently observed on and around a rudder system. Rudder gap cavitation is the most difficult one to control and suppress among various types of the cavitation on a rudder system. In the present study, experiments of the incipient cavitation and pressure measurement were carried out for typical cargo ship rudder sections with and without the suppression devices, which were suggested by the authors. Fundamental understanding of the rudder gap cavitation inception was obtained along with its relevance to the surface pressure distribution. It is confirmed that the gap flow blocking devices effectively suppress the rudder gap cavitation and, at the same time, augment lift.

A polymorphic fungus, Candida albicans, causes various forms of infections such as disseminated candidiasis and vaginitis. Recent reports indicate that the fungus is a main etiological agent for the arthritis. In search of new sources for treatment of the fungal arthritis, we examined $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid ($18{\beta}$-GA) against C. albicans-caused septic arthritis. The compound is isolated from Glycyrrhizae Radix that is known to have various immunomodulating activities and is one of the most popular herbal medicines. For induction of animal model of a septic arthritis, mice were given an emulsion form of C. albicans cell wall mixed with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) via footpad-injection. To determine prophylactic and therapeutic effects, the component was given to the animals before or after the induction of the arthritis, respectively. Data showed that intraperitoneal administration of $18{\beta}$-GA resulted in reduction of the inflammation, indicating the component had both prophylactic and therapeutic activities. For investigation of mechanism of the $18{\beta}$-GA, inhibitory effects on NO (nitiric oxide) and on T-lymphocyte proliferation were determined. Results demonstrated that $18{\beta}$-GA suppressed NO production from LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-treated macrophages and also inhibited proliferation of Con A (concanavalin A)activated T-cells. Taken together, $18{\beta}$-GA, a pentacyclic triterpene, has anti-arthritic activity against C. albicans-caused septic arthritis, possibly by blocking NO production and T-cell suppression.
