본 논문에서는 지상파 DMB 단말기 모뎀의 핵심 기능블록으로 사용되는 FFT/IFFT 코어(FFT256/2k)를 설계하였다. 설계된 코어는 Eureka-147 전송 규격에 명시된 4가지 전송모드를 지원할 수 있도록 256/512/1204/2048점 FFT/IFFT를 선택적으로 수행하도록 설계되었다. R2SDF와 R2SDC 구조를 혼합하여 적용함으로써 메모리 용량을 최소화 하였으며, R2SDC 단일 구조로 구현한 경우에 비해 메모리 크기를 약 $62\%$ 감소시켰다. 또한 TS_CBFP(Two Step Convergent Block Floating Point)를 사용하여 SQNR를 향상시켰으며, 50MHz(a)2.5-V로 동작하는 경우 2048점 FFT/IFFT 연산에 $41-\;{\mu}s$가 소요되었다 Verilog-HDL로 설계된 코어는 $0.25-\;{\mu}m$ CMOS Cell 라이브러리로 합성한 결과 약 68,400개의 게이트와 58,130 비트의 메모리로 구현되었으며, switching activity를 산출하여 전력소모를 측정한 결과 2048점 FFT의 경우 113-mW의 전력을 소모하는 것으로 추정되었다. 설계된 코어를 FPGA에 구현하여 동작시킨 결과 정상 동작을 검증하였으며, 전체 평균 50-dB 이상의 SQNR 성능을 보였다.

Digestion of a municipal wastewater sludge by the anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was investigated to evaluate the performance of the ASBR process at a critical condition of high-solids-content fined. The reactors were operated at an HRT of 10 days with an equivalent loading rate of 0.8-1.5 gVS/L/d at 35$^{\circ}C$ The main conclusions drawn from this study were as follows: 1. Digestion of a municipal wastewater sludge was possible using the ASBR in spite of high concentration of settleable solids in the sludge. The ASBRS with 3- and 4-day cycle period showed almost identical high digestion performances. 2. No adverse effect on digestion stability was observed In the ASBRS in spite of withdrawal and replenishment of 30% or 40% of liquid contents. A conventional anaerobic digester could be easily converted to the ASBR without any stability problem. 3. Flotation thickening occurred in thicken step of the ASBRS throughout steady state, and floating bed volume at the end of thicken period occupied about 70% of the working volume of the reactor Efficiency of flotation thickening in the ASBRS could be comparable to that of additional gravity thickening of a completely mixed digester. 4. Solids were accumulated rapidly in the ASBR during start-up period. Solids concentrations in the ASBRS were 2.6 times higher than that in the completely mixed control reactor at steady state. Dehydrogenase activity had a strong correlation with the solids concentration. Dehydrogenase activity of the digested flu형e in the ASBR was 2.9 times higher than that of the flu형e in the control reactor, and about 25 times higher than that of the subnatant in the ASBR. 5. Remarkable increase in equivalent gas production of 52% was observed at the ASBRS compared with the control reactor in spite of similar quality of clarified effluent from the ASBRS and control reactor. The increase in gas production from the ASBRS was believed to be combined results of accumulation of microorganisms, higher driving force applied, and additional long-term degradation of organics continuously accumulated.

우리나라는 연안해역을 집약적으로 활용하기 때문에 폐기물로 인한 해양사고 발생률도 높은 편이다. 항해하는 선박의 추진기에 해양부유물, 폐로프, 폐어망 등이 감기는 사고를 부유물감김사고로 정의하고 있다. 이러한 사고를 예방하기 위해 본 연구에서는 국내에 상용화되어 세이버 타입(Shaver type)의 로프절단장치를 유한요소법을 이용하여 구조안전성 검토와 수조시험을 통해 절단 과정 및 성능평가를 진행하였다. 그 결과 로프절단장치를 구성하는 모든 파트는 0.5s 도달하기 전 파손되었으며, 인장강도 대비 발생한 최대응력을 기준으로 각 파트의 안전계수는 최소 2이상으로 나타났다. 수조시험에서는 세이버타입의 절단장치의 절단 과정을 살펴보았고, 실제 해상에서 부유중인 폐로프가 다양한 각도로 진입하는 것을 고려하여 케이스 별로 설치 각도를 설정하였다. 그 결과 모든 케이스에서 절단이 되었으며, 절단 날이 어떠한 각도에 장착되어도 로프를 절단하는데 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

강낭콩을 가열한 후 B. subtilis ATCC 51189로 발효시켜 새로운 활성 단백질의 생성여부를 확인하였다. 생강낭콩의 수용성 단백질은 열처리에 의하여 감소하였으며, 발효과정에서 단백질의 양은 변화하지 않았으나, 새로운 아미노산이 합성되었다. 생강낭콩의 수용성 단백질(raw protein, RP)은 분자량 118 kDa의 PHA(phytohemagglutinin)의 전형적인 모습을 보였으나, 열처리한 단백질(heated protein, HP)의 경우, RP의 band는 사라지고, 저분자 peptide로 변화되었으며, 발효과정에 의하여 분자량 18.0 kDa의 새로운 단백질(fermented protein, FP)이 생성된 것을 확인하였다. 또한, RP는 128 HU, HP는 4HU, FP는 32HU의 적혈구응집효과를 보였으며, 위암세포(SNU-1)에 대하여 RP 및 FP는 비교적 높은 농도($IC_{50}$/ $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL)에서 항암활성을 보였다. 그리고, RP 및 FP의 경우 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL에서 림프구 증식효과를 보였고, IFN-${\gamma}$, IL-12의 분비를 촉진하였다. 그러나 HP는 항암효과, 림프구 증식효과, cytokine의 분비촉진효과를 보이지 않았다. 따라서, 강낭콩 lectin은 가열에 의하여 활성물질이 파괴되나, B. subtilis에 의한 발효과정에서 새로운 cytokine 분비촉진물질이 생성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Ovarian cancer is the fifth main cause of pre-senescent death in women. Although chemotherapy is generally an efficient treatment, its side effects and the occurrence of chemotherapeutic resistance have prompted the need for alternative treatments. In this study, ${\alpha}$-mangostin and apigenin were evaluated as possible anticancer alternatives to the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, used herein as a positive control. The ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line SKOV-3 (ATCC No. HTB77) was used as model ovarian cancer cells, whereas the skin fibroblast line CCD-986Sk (ATCC No. CRL-1947) and lung fibroblast line WI-38 (ATCC No. CCL-75) were used as model untransformed cells. Apigenin and doxorubicin inhibited the growth of SKOV-3 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After 72 hr exposure, doxorubicin was mostly toxic to SKOV-3 cells, whereas apigenin was toxic to SKOV-3 cells but not CCD-986Sk and WI-38 cells. ${\alpha}$-Mangostin was more toxic to SKOV-3 cells than to CCD-986Sk cells. A lower cell density, cell shrinkage, and more unattached (floating round) cells were observed in all treated SKOV-3 cells, but the greatest effects were observed with ${\alpha}$-mangostin. With regard to programmed cell death, apigenin caused early apoptosis within 24 hr, whereas ${\alpha}$-mangostin and doxorubicin caused late apoptosis and necrosis after 72 hr of exposure. Caspase-3 activity was significantly increased in ${\alpha}$-mangostin-treated SKOV-3 cells after 12 hr of exposure, whereas only caspase-9 activity was significantly increased in apigenin-treated SKOV-3 cells at 24 hr. Both ${\alpha}$-mangostin and apigenin arrested the cell cycle at the $G_2/M$ phase, but after 24 and 48 hr, respectively. Significant upregulation of BCL2 (apoptosis-associated gene) and COX2 (inflammation-associated gene) transcripts was observed in apigenin- and ${\alpha}$-mangostin-treated SKOV-3 cells, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Mangostin and apigenin are therefore alternative options for SKOV-3 cell inhibition, with apigenin causing rapid early apoptosis related to the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, and ${\alpha}$-mangostin likely being involved with inflammation.

As the leakage of crude oil from tankers breaks out frequently, it caused a serious problem for ocean pollution and calls for developing treatments to handle the leaked crude oil and mitigate the pollution. Thus it is required to develop new purification technolgies and appropriate treatment systems which have sufficient treatment capability in order to cope with the anticipated ocean pollution. In this experiment, A and B type heavy oils were used to make the emulsion of both water containing heavy oil and sea-water containing heavy oil. The following are the main results from this study ; 1. When A and B type heavy oils were added to the original sea-water and treatedin the homogrenizer respectively, the particle of oil beacame smaller in both cases. Under the same condition, while the initial oil density of sea-water containing B-heavy oil is higher than of emulsion with A-heavy oil, the particle of A-heavy oil is finer than that of B-heavy oil. 2. When A and B type heavy oils were added to distilled water and treated in the homogenizer respectively, the particle was more dispersed and finer than that in the case of sea-water in both cases. In this result, the water containing oil formed more stable emulsion than the sea-water containing oil. 3. In this experiment, all emulsions showed oil in water types. 4. Since the oil particle is larger in the sea-water than in the distillated water, interms of elimination of oil, it is thought to be more important to give Membrane treatment after implementing sandfilter, activity carbon, coagulation-sedimentation and floating separation as pre-treatment.

Previous observations suggest that Bis, a Bcl-2-binding protein, may playa role the neuronal and glial differentiation in vivo. To examine this further, we investigated Bis expression during the in vitro differentiation of P19 embryonic carcinoma cells induced by retinoic acid (RA). Western blotting and RT-PCR assays showed that Bis expression was temporarily decreased during the free floating stage and then began to increase on day 6 after the induction of differentiation. Double immunostaining indicated that Bis-expressing cells do not express several markers of differentiation, including NeuN, MAP-2 and Tuj-1. However, some of the Bis-expressing cells also were stained with GFAP-antibodies, indicating that Bis is involved glial differentiation. Using an shRNA strategy, we developed bis-knock down P19 cells and compared them with control P19 cells for the expression of NeuroD, Mash-1 and GFAP during RA-induced differentiation. Among these, only GFAP induction was significantly attenuated in Pl9-dnbis cells and the population showing GFAP immunoreactivity was also decreased. It is noteworthy that distribution of mature neurons and migrating neurons was disorganized, and the close association of migrating neuroblasts with astrocytes was not observed in P19-dnbis cells. These results suggest that Bis is involved in the migration-inducing activity of glial cells.

Onchungeum(OCE), a herbal formula, has been used for treatment of anemia, discharging blood and skin diseases. In the previous study, we investigated the anti-cancer effect of OCE by G1 arrest of the cell cycle in human hepatocarcinoma cells, Hep3B cells. In this study, it was examined that the difference of anti-proliferative mechanisms by change in the ratio of OCE composition (OCE I) in Hep3B cells. Treatment of OCE I exhibited a relatively strong anti-proliferative activity and caused various morphological changes such as membrane shrinkage and cell floating. In addition, OCE-I arrests the cell cycle at G1 phase, which was associated with the down-regulation of cyclin D1 and Cdk6 expressions. The G1 arrest was also associated with the induction of Cdk inhibitors p27 and p21. Moreover, both p21 and p27 were detected by immunoprecipitation with anti-Cdk4 and anti-Cdk2 antibodies in OCE I-treated cells but in case of OCE, p21 did not make any complexes with Cdk4 and Cdk2. These results suggest that the change in the ratio of OCE composition might induce different mechanisms in anti-cancer efficacy of OCE, which may confer characteristic principles in oriental medical formula.

배지에 tetracycline이 없으면 사멸하는 평활근세포 (FADD-SMC)를 이용하여 metalloproteinase (MMP)와 사멸세포의 상관관계를 조사하였다. FADD-SMC를 tetracycline이 없는 배지에서 배양하는 경우 핵이 조각으로 잘라졌고 인산화한 p38과 ERK가 증가하고 MMP-9의 발현과 활성이 증가한 반면, cyclin D와 cyclin D의 발현은 감소하였다. 그리고 죽는 FADD-SMC에서 MMP-9의 발현은 immunofluorescen로 재확인하였다. MMP-9의 증가는 MAPK 억제제인 PD098059와 p38 MAPK 억제제인 SB203S80에 의하여 감소하였다. 그리고 MMP 억제제인 BB94는 FADD-SMC의 사멸을 감소시켰다.
