To fabricate superconducting multiplexers with narrow pass band characteristics and reduce the physical size of device, we have designed multiplexer using hair-pin type filters with the center frequency of 13.6 GHz. Multiplexers have been fabricated superconductor(HTS), because It has low surface resistance. The $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$(YBCO) films were deposited on MgO substrates$(20{\times}20{\times}0.5mm^3)$ by using pulsed laser deposition and conventional photo-lithographic methods were used to pattern the multiplexer. Epitaxial YBCO films were grown on(100) MgO substrates and showed strongly c_axis orientations observed by X-ray diffraction technique. Superconducting transition temperatures were measured to be about 89K. Simulated results of superconducting multiplexer consisting of hair-pin type filters show the insertion loss of about 1.2dB. The measured frequency response will be compared with the simulated results.

A compact square patch antenna with reconfigurable circular polarization (CP) at 2.4 GHz is proposed. Circular polarization is generated by an arc-shaped slot on the ground plane. In order to switch the CP orientation, the current flow direction of the patch is reconfigured via the PIN diodes mounted on the slot. As the slot and bias circuit are not placed on the patch side, the proposed antenna radiates a CP wave without alteration in the main beam direction. From the experimental results, the impedance and CP bandwidths of the proposed antenna have been demonstrated for up to 80 MHz and 25 MHz, respectively.

To our knowledge, this is the first case of concurrent diaphyseal left coracoid and left femoral fractures in a Eurasian eagle owl and its post-release survival in Korea. The femur was surgically repaired using an external skeletal fixator-intramedullary (IM) pin tie-in method, and the coracoid was repaired solely with an IM pin on day 6 after femur surgery. The eagle owl underwent a gradual rehabilitation process. The bird was successfully rehabilitated and released 101 d after initial presentation. The bird was monitored using a wildlife tracking device and was confirmed to have survived for over 5 mon in the wild.

To effectively modify tree function with genetic engineering, transgenes must be expressed at the proper level in the appropriate tissues at suitable developmental stages. Toward understanding the spatial and temporal expression of transgenes in woody plants, transgene expression was evaluated in three greenhouse-grown, transgenic lines of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. grandidentata hybrid clone 'Hansen'. All transgenic poplar lines possess constructs containing the bacterial nopaline synthase(nos) promoter linked to a neomycin phosphotransferase II(NPT II) selectable marker gene. In addition, each transgenic poplar line contains one of the following gene constructs : 1) a wound-inducible potato proteinase inhibitor II (pin2) promoter linked to a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) reporter gene. 2) a nos promoter linked to a PIN2 structural gene : or 3) a Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35s promoter linked to a PIN2 structural gene. Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to verify the presence of foreign genes in the poplar genome. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISAs) were used to evaluate organ specific expression of the nos-NPT II construct. NPT II expression was detected in leaves, petioles, stems, and roots of transgenic poplar, thereby indicating that the nos promoter is potentially effective for general constitutive expression of transgenes. NPT expression varied among transgenic poplar lines and among organs for one transgenic line, Tr15. With Tr15, NPT II levels were highest in older leaves and petioles. These results indicate that screening of several transgenic lines may be required to identify lines with optimal transgene expression.

Binary instrumentation has been developed for monitoring and debugging executables without their source codes. Previous efforts on the binary instrumentation are mainly focused on its capability and accuracy, but not on efficiency for practical application. In particular, criteria and measurement methodologies for evaluating and comparing the efficiency of binary investigation tools and algorithms do not estimated yet. In this paper, we propose the instrumentation primitives which are a unit functionality and measurement methodology. Through the empirical experiments by adopting the proposed methodology on DynamoRIO and Pin, we show the feasibility of the proposal.

The location of the pivot between the backrest and seat pan of a reclining chair should be identical to the hip joint center to prevent unpleasant user experiences during tilting motion. However, mechanical friction occurs in the pin-in-slot joints that are installed under the seat pan as an alternative to the hinge joint. This reduces the reaction force between the backrest and the occupant's back when reclining and returning to an upright position, which causes the occupant's discomfort. In this study, bearings, rollers, and sliders were suggested as alternatives for the pin component, and the percentage of the reaction force on the backrest was measured while reclining the backrest and subsequently returning it to an upright position. The results show when bearings, rollers, and sliders were used for the pin-in-slot joint, the percentages of the reaction force were $59.7{\pm}10.3$, $47.2{\pm}13.6$, and $30.3{\pm}18.1$, respectively, indicating that the friction of the bearing was the lowest among the three pin components. Because the three alternatives have different manufacturing costs, synthetic judgment requires the consideration of not only mechanical friction but also user experience.

This paper presents the hardness and wear characteristic of bronze metals, which are manufactured by a sintering process with a high pressuring technology. A bronze metal with a high hardness and anti-wear properties is usually used for a high pressure cylinder and a pin-bush bearing. The new bronze metal in which is manufactured for this experimental study shows very high hardness of 192${\sim}$220 Hv compared with that of a conventional bronze metal of 120${\sim}$140 Hv. The high hardness of new bronze metals is strongly related to the radical reduction of wear volumes and an improved surface roughness of operated worn surfaces. As explained by previous many research works, the improved hardness of nonferrous metals may increase a load-carrying capacity and anti-wear properties of tribological components.

At the same brightness and uniformity condition of 37" LED BLU system, using novel lens LED package can be reduced amounts of LED 40% or thickness of BLU 30% respectively. Besides, the power consumption of BLU also can be reduced 25%.

Pentacene based TFT showed a degraded mobility and saturation current (Ion) after exposure to the high energy ultraviolet (UV). In this article, we optimize the thickness of UV resisted layer on OTFT to restrain the degradation from protect layer deposition and study the UV aging effect of pentacene based TFT. The OTFT deivce with UV resisted layer could keep over 50% mobility after suffered UV $10^3J$.

The suspended dome system is a new structural form that has become popular in the construction of long-span roof structures. Suspended dome is a kind of new pre-stressed space grid structure that has complex mechanical characteristics. In this paper, an optimum topology design algorithm is performed using the enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO) method. The length of the strut, the cable initial strain, the cross-sectional area of the cables and the cross-sectional size of steel elements are adopted as design variables and the minimum volume of each dome is taken as the objective function. The topology optimization on lamella dome is performed by considering the type of the joint connections to determine the optimum number of rings, the optimum number of joints in each ring, the optimum height of crown and tubular sections of these domes. A simple procedure is provided to determine the configuration of the dome. This procedure includes calculating the joint coordinates and steel elements and cables constructions. The design constraints are implemented according to the provision of LRFD-AISC (Load and Resistance Factor Design-American Institute of Steel Constitution). This paper explores the efficiency of lamella dome with pin-joint and rigid-joint connections and compares them to investigate the performance of these domes under wind (according to the ASCE 7-05), dead and snow loading conditions. Then, a suspended dome with pin-joint single-layer reticulated shell and a suspended dome with rigid-joint single-layer reticulated shell are discussed. Optimization is performed via ECBO algorithm to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the ECBO in creating optimal design for suspended domes.
