Substantia nigra is known to highly express glibenclamide binding site, a protein associated to ATP-sensitive $K^{+}$ ($K_{ATP}$) channel in the brain. However, the functional expression of $K_{ATP}$ channels in the area is not yet known. In this work, we attempted to estimate the functional expression of $K_{ATP}$ channels in neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) in young rats using slice patch clamp technique. Membrane properties and whole cell currents attributable to $K_{ATP}$ channel were examined by the current and voltage clamp method, respectively. In SNC, two sub-populations of neurons were identified. Type I (rhythmic) neurons had low frequency rebound action potentials ($4.5{\pm}0.25Hz$, n=75) with rhythmic pattern. Type II (phasic) neurons were characterized by faster firing ($22.7{\pm}3.16Hz$, n=12). Both time constants and membrane capacitance in rhythmic neurons ($34.0{\pm}1.27$ ms, $270.0{\pm}11.83$ pF) and phasic neurons ($23.7{\pm}4.16$ ms, $184{\pm}35.2$ pF) were also significantly different. The current density of $K_{ATP}$ channels was $6.1{\pm}1.47$ pA/pF (2.44~15.43 pA/pF, n=8) at rhythmic neurons of young rats. Our data show that in SNC there are two types of neurons with different electrical properties and the density of $K_{ATP}$, channel of rhythmic neuron is about 600 channels per neuron.

The types, distributional and shape properties of abandoned channels in Korea are classified and examined. There are 409 abandoned channels in Korea and they can be classified into the 6 types such as the incised meander cutoff, stream piracy, distributary, artificial incised meander neck-cutoff, channel straightening of free meander and distributary streams. The abandoned channels by incised meander neck-cutoff showing the most frequency with 266, have the topographical properties of high altitude and steep relief and frequently distribute in Gangwon and Gyeonbuk Province and in the upper reaches of main stream of Nakdong-River, and Dal-River and Pyeongchang-River, tributaries of Namhan-River. The most frequency areas of abandoned channels by distributary, channel straightening of free meander and distributary streams are the lower reaches of Namhan-River and main stream in the lower reaches of Nakdong-River, Mangyeong-River and Yeongsan-River, and Geumho-River, respectively. The abandoned channles by incised meandering neck-cutoff and stream piracy are relatively used as farmlands or forests due to the high altitude and relative altitude from the river bed.

The workability of mortar determines its construction performance in a structure showing its designed resistance to external loads. Measuring the rheological properties of mortar is one way of quantifying its workability, but its field-applications are limited due to economical and spatial issues. The robustness of the slump flow test allows its use for evaluating the workability of mortar, even though it is a rather qualitative test method. This paper proposes a channel flow test and develops a correlation between its result and the rheological properties of mortar. The volume-of-fluid simulation for the channel flow test was accomplished, and a numerical database for the correlation was composed. A correlation model to estimate the rheological properties of mortar using the results of the channel flow test as inputs is proposed.

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are considered a promising alternative to graphene for future nanoelectronic applications. However, GNRs-based device modeling is still at an early stage. This research models the electronic properties of n-doped rough-edged 13-armchair graphene nanoribbons (13-AGNRs) and quantum transport properties of n-doped rough-edged 13-armchair graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (13-AGNRFETs) at different doping concentrations. Step-up and edge doping are used to incorporate doping within the nanostructure. The numerical real-space nearest-neighbour tight-binding (NNTB) method constructs the Hamiltonian operator matrix, which computes electronic properties, including the sub-band structure and bandgap. Quantum transport properties are subsequently computed using the self-consistent solution of the two-dimensional Poisson and Schrödinger equations within the non-equilibrium Green's function method. The finite difference method solves the Poisson equation, while the successive over-relaxation method speeds up the convergence process. Performance metrics of the device are then computed. The results show that highly doped, rough-edged 13-AGNRs exhibit a lower bandgap. Moreover, n-doped rough-edged 13-AGNRFETs with a channel of higher doping concentration have better gate control and are less affected by leakage current because they demonstrate a higher current ratio and lower off-current. Furthermore, highly n-doped rough-edged 13-AGNRFETs have better channel control and are less affected by the short channel effect due to the lower value of subthreshold swing and drain-induced barrier lowering. The inclusion of dopants enhances the on-current by introducing more charge carriers in the highly n-doped, rough-edged channel. This research highlights the importance of optimizing doping concentrations for enhancing GNRFET-based device performance, making them viable for applications in nanoelectronics.

This paper considered identification of vibration characteristics of flexible structure with vector channel periodic lattice filter. We present an algorithm for AR coefficients for the vector-channel lattice filters, and characteristic equation and transfer function are derived from these coefficients. Vibration lattice filter is then constructed from the vector channel lattice filter, and performance of this vibration filter is tested with a test signal which is a combination of many sine waves to compare the performance of scalar and vector channel lattice. Also it is applied to the cantilever data to identify properties of the system, such as natural frequencies and damping ratios, to show its performance.

Hot press forming can produce high-strength components by rapidly cooling between closed punch and die after hot forming using quenchable boron steel austenized in a furnace. In the hot press forming process, the cooling rate is influenced by the size, position and arrangement of the cooling channel and the file condition of cooling water in the die. Also, mechanical properties of the final components and operation time are related to cooling rate. Therefore, the design of optimized cooling channel is one of the most important works. In this paper, the effect of position and size of the cooling channel on the cooling rate was investigated by using design of experiment and FE analysis in hot press bending process. Therefore the optimum cooling channel ratio was presented in the HPB.

The electrical characteristics of CMOS inverter with LDMOSFET are studied for high power and digital circuit application by using two dimensional MEDICI simulator. The simulation is done in terms of voltage transfer characteristic and on-off switching properties of CMOS inverter with variation of channel length and channel doping levels. The channel which surrounds a junction-type source in LDMOSFET is considered to be an important parameter to decide a circuit operation of CMOS inverter. The digital logic levels of input voltage show to increase with increase of n-channel length and doping levels while the logic output levels show to the almost constant.

As side-channel analysis and machine learning algorithms share the same objective of classifying data, numerous studies have been proposed for adapting machine learning to side-channel analysis. However, a drawback of machine learning algorithms is that their performance depends on human engineering. Therefore, recent studies in the field focus on exploiting deep learning algorithms, which can extract features automatically from data. In this study, we survey recent advances in deep learning-based side-channel analysis. In particular, we outline how deep learning is applied to side-channel analysis, based on deep learning architectures and application methods. Furthermore, we describe its properties when using different architectures and application methods. Finally, we discuss our perspective on future research directions in this field.

As the city is developed, Sewerage outlet is installed for the discharge of rainfall special at new town or modified the existed sewerage network. But the sewerage outlet is influenced to the cannel flow. In this paper, for analyzing variation of flow properties by installing sewerage outlet, it was experimented a with $120^{\circ}$ channel junction. The water depth is rapidly increasing at the just before sewerage installed position, but the velocity is represented increasing at the just after sewerage installed position. In addition, the biggest increment of water depth and velocity is represented $3.0m^3/hr{\sim}4.0.m^3/hr$. At the position of the sewerage outlet installation, separate install at up and downstream is rather than only one position at up or down stream. If it was not install both installation, the upstream installation is better than downstream installation.
