A multi-cell test system with 25 independent cells is used to test different electrode materials simultaneously for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Twenty-five segmented membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) having the same or different Pt-loading are prepared to analyze the performance deviation of cells in the multi-cell test system. Improvements in the multi-cell test system are made by ensuring that the system performs voltage sensing for the cells individually and inserting optimum gaskets between the MEAs and the graphite plates. The cell performances are improved and their deviations are significantly decreased by these modifications. The performance deviations changed according to various cell configurations because the operating conditions of the cells, such as the gas flow and concentration, differed. This cell system can be used to test multiple electrodes simultaneously because it shows relatively uniform performance under the same conditions as well as linear correlation with various catalyst loadings.

수중 청음기는 진동하는 물체 위에 설치되어 다양한 외부 잡음 원이 유입되는 환경에 노출되어 있다. 외부 잡음 원으로는 수중 청음기가 설치된 구조물 자체의 진동, 프로펠러 잡음, 그리고 유동 유기 잡음들이 있고, 이들 외부 잡음원은 실제 강도가 상당히 높아서 센서의 정확한 작동에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 외부 잡음에 무관한 고 정밀도, 저 잡음 특성을 갖는 수중 청음기를 개발하기 위하여 유한 요소법(FEM)을 사용하여 잡음 전달 특성의 분석 및 air pocket과 음향 감쇠층의 다양한 조합으로 이루어진 개선된 구조의 수중 청음기를 설계하고, 내 잡음성 평가를 하였다. 그 결과 센서 측면 하단부에 잡음 원이 위치할 경우 가장 큰 잡음 신호로 작용하므로 구조를 변경한 결과 기존 수중 청음기에 비해 59% 이상 내 잡음성을 증진 시켰다.

In this study, we have fabricated two types of non-invasive fiber-optic respiration sensors that can measure respiratory signals during magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition. One is a nasal-cavity attached sensor that can measure the temperature variation of air-flow using a thermochromic pigment. The other is an abdomen attached sensor that can measure the abdominal circumference change using a sensing part composed of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) tubes, a mirror and a spring. We have measured modulated light guided to detectors in the MRI control room via optical fibers due to the respiratory movements of the patient in the MR room, and the respiratory signals of the fiber-optic respiration sensors are compared with those of the BIOPAC$^{(R)}$ system. We have verified that respiratory signals can be obtained without deteriorating the MR image. It is anticipated that the proposed fiber-optic respiration sensors would be highly suitable for respiratory monitoring during surgical procedures performed inside an MRI system.

Shortest Path Problems are among the most studied network flow optimization problems, with interesting applications in various fields. One such field is the route determination service, where various kinds of shortest path problems need to be solved in location-based service. Our research aim is to propose a route technique in real-time locationbased service (LBS) environments according to user’s route preferences such as shortest, fastest, easiest and so on. Turn costs modeling and computation are important procedures in route planning. There are major two kinds of cost parameters in route planning. One is static cost parameter which can be pre-computed such as distance and number of traffic-lane. The other is dynamic cost parameter which can be computed in run-time such as number of turns and risk of congestion. In this paper, we propose a new cost modeling method for turn costs which are traditionally attached to edges in a graph. Our proposed route determination technique also has an advantage that can provide service interoperability by implementing XML web service for the OpenLS route determination service specification. In addition to, describing the details of our shortest path algorithms, we present a location-based service system by using proposed routing algorithms.

This paper investigates the indoor-air-quality (IAQ) characteristics of the interior space equipped with system air-conditioner. The behaviors of individual variables such as temperature, humidity and concentration of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) that influence on IAQ of the interior space were characterized under various cooling conditions by numerical and experimental studies. The numerical analysis predicting the temperature behavior of the interior space was conducted, and its results showed a good agreement with the experimental ones. The $CO_2$ concentration and humidity were measured and their time dependent behaviors were monitored and analyzed. From the results, it was found that there existed the differences of the time-dependent behaviors of IAQ variables according to the locations. In addition, it is demonstrated that the large discharge angle of $45^{\circ}$ made the temperature profile more irregular and the high discharge flow of 5.34 m/s produced similar temperature profiles at three different sensing locations. Finally, the humidity of interior space was less sensitive to the changes of the air cooling conditions than the case of temperature and the $CO_2$ concentration increase mainly depended on the number of individuals inside the space.

비침습식 혈당 검출 기술 중 광학 기법은 생물학적 매체를 통과할 때 빛의 반사와 흡수 및 산란 특성을 이용하는 방법으로 통증이나 측정의 불편함을 감소시키고 감염 위험이 없어 혈당 검출 연구의 주요 흐름이 되고 있다. 이 중 근적외선 분광법은 혈당 분자와 유사한 흡수 기능을 공유하는 단백질과 산의 간섭들로 감지된 신호 분석 시 복잡성이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 근적외선의 피부 흡수로 발생할 수 있는 혈당검출 기능저하를 완화시키기 위해 다중 근적외선 대역의 비침습식 센서시스템을 설계하고 제작하였다. 제작한 시스템의 검증을 위해 혈액 조사를 실시하였으며, 혈액 내의 혈당 반응 정도를 스펙트럼 데이터로 수집하고, 데이터와 혈당과의 상관관계 관점에서 정량적으로 본 연구의 성과를 검증하였다.

High resolution aerial photographs and digital elevation models for Bangpo beach using UAV were generated in this study to analyze the thematic and geometric characteristics of coastal features. Based on 728 aerial images acquired on September 10, 2016 by the UAV, a image mosaic at 2.2 cm spatial resolution and a digital elevation model at 4.4 cm spatial resolution were developed. This study found out that Bangpo beach consisted of intertidal zone and supratidal zone. The intertidal zone can be subdivided into lower part and upper part with distinctive geomorphological characteristics. While the lower part included sand bars and ripple marks along the coastline, the cusps and sand dunes were the major coastal features of the upper part. Part of the intertidal zone was occupied by shore platform with average slope of 0.9 degree containing various sizes of gravels. The supratidal zone slanted toward ocean with berms on the surface with an interval of 15 m. These coastal features indicated the flow intensity towards to the land and tidal effect. It validated that the UAV application in coastal research was very effective analyzing to examine coastal processes.

Despite evidence that bacteria-sensing Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are activated in salivary gland tissues of Sjogren syndrome (SS) patients, the role of oral bacteria in SS etiopathogenesis is unclear. We previously reported that two SS-associated oral bacteria, Prevotella melaninogenica (Pm) and Rothia mucilagenosa (Rm), oppositely regulate the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) in human salivary gland (HSG) cells. Here, we elucidated the mechanisms underlying the differential regulation of MHC I expression by these bacteria. The ability of Pm and Rm to activate TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9 was examined using TLR reporter cells. HSG cells were stimulated by the TLR ligands, Pm, and Rm. The levels of MHC I expression, bacterial invasion, and viability of HSG cells were examined by flow cytometry. The hypoxic status of HSG cells was examined using Hypoxia Green. HSG cells upregulated MHC I expression in response to TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9 activation. Both Pm and Rm activated TLR2 and TLR9 but not TLR4. Rm-induced downregulation of MHC I strongly correlated with bacterial invasion and cell death. Rm-induced cell death was not rescued by inhibitors of the diverse cell death pathways but was associated with hypoxia. In conclusion, Pm upregulated MHC I likely through TLR2 and TLR9 activation, while Rm-induced hypoxia-associated cell death and the downregulation of MHC I, despite its ability to activate TLR2 and TLR9. These findings may provide new insight into how oral dysbiosis can contribute to salivary gland tissue damage in SS.
