전지는 화학에너지를 기계적인 처리과정 없이 전기에너지로 직접 전환하는 장치이다. 부하전압과 부하전류의 용량에 따라 단위전지를 직.병렬 연결하여 사용하게 되며, 전지의 병렬운전은 단독운전 보다 전압강하를 더 천천히 발생시키므로 전압강하에 민감한 전력변환장치들의 효율에 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 병렬운전의 필요성과 장점 때문에 대부분의 축전지를 사용하는 시스템은 병렬운전을 하고 있고, 반면에 선.구 축전지 사이에서 순환 전류가 흐르고, 자가방전이 일어나는 단점 또한 가지고 있다. 신 축전지에서 충.방전 전류가 과다하게 흐르는 불평형 현상과 이로 인해 축전지의 수명단축을 일으키게된다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로 프로세서를 사용하여 선.구 축전지 사이의 볼평형 전류를 검출하고 외부저항을 첨가시켜 내부저항의 차이에 대한 감소효과를 얻어 불평형 전류를 보상하였다. 이를 실험을 통해 구현하였다.

APSK(Amplitude Phase Shift Keying) 계열의 디지털 변조 방식은 전송 심볼들이 성상도 상에서 원형으로 분포해 있는 구조적 특성을 갖고 있다. 이러한 구조로 인하여 QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) 계열의 변조 방식과 비교하여 평균 전력 대비 최대 전력의 크기를 감소시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있으며, 비선형 채널 환경에서 전송 시 성능 열화 정도를 감소시킬 수 있다. 이와 같은 장점으로, APSK 변조 방식은 최근 DVB-S2(Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite, Version 2)를 포함하는 위성 통신 시스템에서 표준으로 채택되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일정 크기 이상의 입력 전력 크기에 대해서는 출력 전력 크기가 포화되는 특성을 갖는 채널 모델을 사용하여, 16APSK 변조 방식 적용의 비트 오율 (BER; Bit Error Rate)의 상한 근사식을 유도하고 실제 실험 결과와 비교하여 정확성을 검증한다. 또한 유도식을 활용하여 비트 오율을 최소화시키는 입력 전력의 크기를 결정하였으며, 16APSK 내각원 반지름과 외각원 반지름 비율 및 비선형 채널의 포화 특성에 따른 성능 최적화 방안을 제시한다.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) survives in acidic and fluctuating pH conditions of the stomach. The pH effect on H. pylori proteins is important for the advanced understanding of its evolution and viability, although this bacterium has the molecular machinery that neutralizes the acidic condition. HP1492 is known as a conserved NifU-like protein from H. pylori. NifU is a nitrogen fixation protein that mediates the transfer of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster to iron-sulfur proteins like ferredoxin. Commonly, the monomeric reduced state of NifU can be converted to the dimeric oxidized state by intermolecular disulfide bond formation. Because it remains unclear that HP1492 actually behaves as known NifU protein, we first found that this protein can adopt both oxidized and reduced forms using size exclusion chromatography. Circular dichroism experiment showed that HP1492 is relatively well-structured at pH 6.5, compared to other pH conditions. On the basis of the backbone resonance assignment of HP1492, we further characterized the residues that are sensitive to pH using NMR spectroscopy. These residues showing large chemical shift changes could be mapped onto the secondary structure of the protein. Our results could provide the foundation for structural and biophysical studies on a wide spectrum of NifU proteins.

Multileaf collimator is essential equipment in conformal radiation therapy, however the use is limitted by increase of penumbra width and undulating dose distribution at the field edge. The purpose of this study is to improve the penumbra and dose distribution in the multileaf collimator field edge. Measurement were performed with X-omat V film in solid water phantom using 6MV photon beam from Siemens linear accelerator. All the measurement were made along the central axis of $5{\times}5cm,\;10{\times}10cm$ circular field for constant SSD of 100 cm. To improve the penumbra and dose distribution collimator was rotated by 15 degrees from 0 to 90 degrees (collimator rotation method) and center was shifted to the longitudinal direction by fourth of lead width (center shift method). We compare the penumbra and dose distribution at the field edge to alloy block. Dose distribution and penumbra width at the feild edge of MLC showed undulated dose pattern and increased penumbra compared with alloy block. However, in the collimator rotation method and center shift method we abtained simular results with alloy block. Through the study we expected that clinical use of MLC will be increase.

A model experiment of purse seine by the circulating water tank was carried out on the changes of net shape and the tension of purseline under operation in two layer current. In the circular tank, the two layer current was made by cutting off the current of upper layer and producing the bottom current by the equipment shown in Fig. 1. The model experiment of purse sein was made on a reduced scale 1 :400, and the experiment was carried out according to the Tauti's model law. When the bottom current of O. 5 knot flows to lower part of three-eighths of net, following results are derived. The depth of sinkerline reached only about 80% of that of no current set. The horizontal shift of sinker line caused by the bottom current is maximized in tight set. The enclosed area by the floatIine immediately after the completion of set net is 61. 5% in tight set, 50. 0 % in loose set and 54. 1 % in lateral set of those in the case of no current. In the first half period of pursing, the tension of the purseline is enhenced by the bottom current and the pattern of increasing is irregular in the tension curves.

Melittin (ME), a linear 26-residue non-cell-selective antimicrobial peptide, displays strong lytic activity against bacterial and human red blood cells. To design ME analogue with improved cell selectivity, we synthesized a melittin diastereomer (ME-D) with D-amino acid in the leucine zipper sequence (Leu-6, Lue-13 and Ile-20). Compared to ME, ME-D exhibited the same or 2-fold higher antibacterial activity but 8-fold less hemolytic activity. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that ME-D has much less $\alpha$-helical content in $\alpha$-helical content in the presence of zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes compared to negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. The blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum of ME-D in zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes was much smaller than in negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. These results suggested that the improvement in therapeutic index/cell selectivity of ME-D is correlated with its less permeability to zwitterionic membranes.

Here, we report the first biochemical and structural characterization of the hypothetical protein HP0902 from Helicobacter pylori, in terms of structural genomics. Gel-permeation chromatography and dynamic light scattering indicated that the protein behaves as a dimer in solution. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that HP0902 primarily adopts a $\beta$-structure and the protein was highly thermostable with a denaturing temperature higher than $70^{\circ}C$. Finally, the backbone NMR assignments were obtained on the [$^{13}C,^{15}N$]HP0902 and the secondary structure was determined using the chemical shift data. Additionally, the local flexibility was assessed via a heteronuclear $^1H-^{15}N$ steady state NOE experiment. The results revealed that HP0902 would adopt a compactly folded, all-$\beta$ topology with 11 $\beta$-strands. All of the results clearly support the notion that HP0902 belongs to the cupin superfamily of proteins.

Direction of intercalation to DNA of the planar dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligands (dppz) of a bis-Ru(II) complex namely, $[Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)_2dipyrido[3,2-a:2^{\prime},3^{\prime}-c]phenazine]^{2+}$ linkered by a 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, was investigated by probing the behavior of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) that bound deep in the minor groove. Bis-intercalation of DPPZ resulted in a little blue shift and hyperchromism in DAPI absorption band, and a large decrease in DAPI fluorescence intensity which accompined by an increase in the dppz emission intensity. Diminishing the intenisty of the positive induced circular dichroism (CD) and linear dichroism (LD) were also observed. These spectral changes indicated that insertion of dppz ligand caused the change of the binding mode of DAPI, which probably moved to the exterior of DNA from the minor groove and interacted with the phospghate groups of DNA by electrostatic interaction. At the surface of DNA, DAPI binds at the phosphate groups of DNA by electrostatic attraction. Consequently, this observation indicated that the dppz ligand intercalated from the minor groove.

New mono- and bis-Cu(II)-triazacyclononane(tacn) complex that conjugated with 9-aminoacridine were synthesized, and their binding modes and DNA cleavage activity were investigated in this study. When the classic intercalator, 9-aminoacridine, was conjugated to mono- and bis-Cu(II)-tacn complexes, a significant red-shift and hypochromism in absorption spectrum was apparent in the acridine absorption region upon binding to DNA. Furthermore, the magnitude of the negative reduced linear dichroism signal in the substrate absorption region appeared to be larger than that in the DNA absorption region. These spectral observations indicated that the acridine moiety intercalated when the Cu(II)-tacn complex was conjugated. In contrast, from a close analysis of the circular and linear dichroism spectrum, the aminoacridine-free bis-Cu(II)-tacn complex was concluded to bind at the phosphate groups of DNA. The 9-aminoacridine-free-bis-Cu(II)-tacn complex produces the nicked and linear DNA. On the other hand, 9-aminoacridine conjugated mono-and bis-Cu(II)-tacn complexes showed unspecific binding with negligible DNA cleavage.
