Coenzyme $Q_{10}$ and six derivatives of coenzyme $Q_n$ were synthesized and tested for their antioxidative effects occurred in proximal tubular epithelial cell (LLC-PK1 cell) and cytotoxicities using in NIH/3T3 cell. As the result, synthetic coenzyme $Q_n$ derivatives showed a potent antioxidative effect compared to coenzyme $Q_{10}$. Among these synthetic compounds, coenzyme $Q_3$-C at ranged 0.04 to 0.4 mmol showed the $107.7{\sim}135.9%$ of cell viability in LLC-PK1 cell. In the test of NIH/3T3, all synthesized coenzyme $Q_n$ derivatives showed the similar effect compared with coenzyme $Q_{10}$. A correlation between isoprene unit number of coenzyme $Q_n$ derivatives and its biological effects, we suggest reduction of isoprene unit number of $Q_n$ derivatives may be related to the increase of antioxidants effects and the reduction of cytotoxicities.

Military rotorcraft should be designed taking into account the condition of the fuel cell bullet impact. The internal fluid pressure, stress of metal fitting and fuel cell, bullet kinetic energy can be included as the design factor for the fuel cell. The best way to obtain the important design data is to conduct the verification test with actual product. But, the verification test requires huge cost and long-term effort. Moreover, there is high risk to fail because of the sever test condition. Thus, the numerical simulation is required to reduce the risk of trial-and-error together with prediction of the design data. In the present study, the bullet impact simulation based on SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics) is conducted with the commercial package, LS-DYNA. As the result of the numerical simulation, the internal pressure of fuel cell is calculated as 350~360MPa and the equivalent stress caused by hydro-ram effect is predicted as 260~350MPa on metal fittings.

Dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC) has aroused intense interest owing to its competitive price and stabilized properties than Si based solar cells. Recently, many studies have been reported on the DSSC, especially development of a transparent conductive oxide-less dye-sensitized solar cell(TCO-less DSSC). In this paper, a thick and porous Ti electrode for low cost DSSC developed its properties. To estimate the Ti electrode, the films are tested FESEM and J-V evaluation method. An increase in Ti thickness from 50 nm to 200 nm mainly affects the fill factor without noticeably changing the photocurrent density. It was confirmed that optimal DSSC efficiency was obtained at Ti 150 nm.

This paper shows electrical analysis of the silicon solar cell according to the various ARC thickness using Medici program. we built a mesh structure of the solar cell that use ARC consisting of ITO(Indium-Tin-Oxide) transparent electrode, for the Medici modeling. About various oxide layer thickness of the ARC for 30 nm, 60 nm, 90 nm, changes of the I-V curve, Isc, Voc, transmittance and external collection efficiency performed according to wavelength of Incident ray. Simulation results show maximum power 22 mW/$cm^2$, fill factor 0.83 in condition of 60 nm ITO thickness.

Power-efficient base station (BS) operation is one of the important issues in future green cellular networks. Previously well-known BS operation schemes, the cell zooming scheme and the cell wilting and blossoming scheme, require tight cooperation between cells in cellular networks. With the previous schemes, the non-cooperative BSs of a serving cell and neighboring cells could cause coverage holes between the cells, thereby seriously degrading the quality of service as well as the power saving efficiency of the cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient BS operation scheme for green downlink heterogeneous cellular networks, in which the networks virtually adjust the coverage of a serving macrocell (SM) and neighboring macrocells (NMs) without adjusting the transmission power of the BSs when the SM is lightly loaded, and the networks turn off the BS of the SM when none of active users are associated with the SM. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly improves the power saving efficiency without degrading the quality of service (e.g., system throughput) of a downlink heterogeneous LTE network and outperforms the previous schemes in terms of system throughput and power saving efficiency. In particular, with the proposed scheme, macrocells are able to operate independently without the cooperation of a SM and NMs for green heterogeneous cellular networks.

This paper presents inter-cell cooperation methods with two transmit antennas for broadcast services in a coded OFDM cellular system. In the method, cells are divided into multiple cell groups and a coded packet is partitioned into the subparts. Then, a different cell group and antenna combination is assigned to each subpart for transmission of two orthogonal branches of the diversity code. For the method, we derive the bound on the pairwise error probability to predict the coded performance and verify the performance gain of the proposed method through the simulation using turbo code and analytically derived bound.

While there is ample information on the investment plans about Korea's selected new growth businesses, it is hard to find any analysis on the valuation of the projects. In this paper, I intend to do a valuation for the three particular technologies, which are solar cell, automotive battery, and bio-pharmaceutical, based on compound option model so that the valuation can capture not only the expected net cash flow but also the value originated from the flexibility of the decision maker. In addition, the real option pricing theory is reviewed and its practical limitations are thoroughly investigated.

This paper presents a reflection coating design scheme in the thin-film silicon solar cell. The antireflection(high reflection) coating skill is needed in the front(back) panel of the thin-film solar cell to improve an efficiency of light absorbing. In the single structure a reflectivity is changed according to the thickness of coating for antireflection scheme and its minimum value can be obtained by controlling thickness of coating. In the symmetric multi layer structure low reflectivity can be obtained in the wide wavelength range. And we also find that high reflectivity can be obtained through multi layer structure, which has alternate layers of high and low material, for high reflection scheme in the back panel.

Next-generation (4G) systems are designed to support universal frequency reuse (UFR) to achieve best use of valuable spectra. However, it leads to undesirable interference level near cell borders. To control this, 4G systems adopt techniques, such as network multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC), to improve cell-edge throughput. Network MIMO aims at mitigating inter-cell interference towards cell-edge users (CEUs) through multi-cell cooperation, where each collaborative base station serves both cell-center users (CCUs) and CEUs, including other cells' CEUs, under a power constraint. The present ICIC strategies cannot be directly applied to network MIMO because they were designed in absence of multi-cell coordination. In the presence of network MIMO, this paper investigates antenna orientations in ICIC and the method of power management. Results show that a proper antenna orientation can improve the cell-edge capacity and meantime lower the interference to CCUs. Capacity inconsistency between CCUs and CEUs is detrimental to mobile communications. Simulation results show that the proposed power management for ICIC in network MIMO systems can achieve a uniform data rate regardless users' position.
