Radiative transfer models in a spherical, turbulent interstellar medium (ISM), in which the photon source is situated at the center, are calculated to investigate the correlation between the scattered light and the dust column density. The medium is modeled using fractional Brownian motion structures that are appropriate for turbulent ISM. The correlation plot between the scattered light and optical depth shows substantial scatter and deviation from simple proportionality. It was also found that the overall density contrast is smoothed out in scattered light. In other words, there is an enhancement of the dust-scattered flux in low-density regions, while the scattered flux is suppressed in high-density regions. The correlation becomes less significant as the scattering becomes closer to being isotropic and the medium becomes more turbulent. Therefore, the scattered light observed in near-infrared wavelengths would show much weaker correlation than the observations in optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. We also find that the correlation plot between scattered lights at two different wavelengths shows a tighter correlation than that of the scattered light versus the optical depth.

This paper presents a 900MHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer for radio frequency identification (RFID) reader using $0.18{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. The IC meets the EPC Class-1 Generation-2 and ISO-18000 Type-C standards. To minimize VCO pulling, the 900MHz VCO is generated by a 1.8GHz VCO followed by a frequency divider. The settling time of the synthesizer is less than $20{\mu}m$. The frequency synthesizer achieves the phase noise of -105.6dBc/Hz at 200kHz offset. The frequency synthesizer occupies an area of $1.8{\times}0.99mm^2$, and dissipates 8mA from a low supply voltage of 1.8V.

Let L = -∆ + V be a Schrödinger operator, where the potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class. In this paper, by the subordinative formula, we investigate the generalized Poisson operator P^L_t,σ, 0 < σ < 1, associated with L. We estimate the gradient and the time-fractional derivatives of the kernel of P^L_t,σ, respectively. As an application, we establish a Carleson measure characterization of the Campanato type space 𝒞^𝛄_L (ℝⁿ) via P^L_t,σ.

Silicon diaphragms, 10 and 20 \ulcorner-thick and 1x1 mm\ulcornerarea, have been fabricated by means of the electrochemical P-N junction etch-stop technique. The P-type diffused resistors were formed on the diaphragm, and the piezoresistance effect was examined. It was been found that the fractional variation of the resistance is dependent on the diaphragm thickness, resistor location, and resistor length, etc. The 1.2 k\ulcornerfull-brige pressure sensor with 10\ulcorner-thick diaphragm exhibits a pressure sensitivity of 42 \ulcorner/V\ulcornermHg with a temperature coefficient of 2.3 mmHg/\ulcorner, and shows a good linearity in the pressure range from 0 to 300 mmHg.

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a new class of integro-differential equation boundary value problems (BVPs) with ㄒ-Hilfer operator. Our problem is converted into an equivalent fixed-point problem by introducing an operator whose fixed points coincide with the solutions to the given problem. Using Banach's and Schauder's fixed point techniques, the uniqueness and existence result for the given problem are demonstrated. The stability results for solutions of the given problem are also discussed. In the end. One example is provided to demonstrate the obtained results

Objectives : Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a human pathogen. New antibacterial agents are needed to treat MRSA-related infections. This study investigated the antibacterial activity of EtOH 70% extracts ofTonghyeonipal-dan(THD) which prescription is composed of oriental medicine against MRSA.Methods : The antibacterial activity of THD was evaluated against MRSA strains by using the Disc diffusion method, broth microdilution method, Checkerboard dilution test, and Time-kill test; its mechanism of action was investigated by bacteriolysis, detergent or ATPase inhibitors were used.Results : The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of THD is 1,000~2,000 μg/mL against MRSA. In the checkerboard dilution test, fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of THD in combination with antibiotics indicated synergy or partial synergism againstS. aureus. Furthermore, a time-kill assay showed that the growth of the tasted bacteria was considerably inhibited after 24 h of treatment with the combination of THD with selected antibiotics. For measurement of cell membrane permeability, THD 500 μg/mL along with concentration of Triton X-100 (TX) and Tris-(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (TRIS) were used. In the other hand, N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCCD) and Sodium azide (NaN3) were used as an inhibitor of ATPase. TX, TRIS, DCCD and NaN3 cooperation againstS. aureusshowed synergistic action.Conclusions : Accordingly, antimicrobial activity of THD was affected by cell membrane and inhibitor of ATPase were assessed. These results suggest that THD has antibacterial activity, and that THD extract offers great potential as a natural antibiotic against MRSA.

Polycarbosilane(PCS) as a SiC precursor was synthesized from the rearrangement reaction of polydimethysilane(PDMS) in an autoclave, which prepared by dehalocoupling reaction of dichlorodimethylsilane. After fractional precipitation into three fractions in n-hexane-methanol mixture, they were characterized by FT-IR, NMR, GPC, TGA/DSC and XRD, and compared with the commercial product. We found that the molecular weight distributions of the PCS depended on the reaction pressures, temperatures and the reaction times, and affected thermal property and ceramic yield of the polymer. The monodispersed PCS containing less amount of oligomers and nonsoluble products was prepared by reaction of PDMS at $420^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs, and it also gave the greatest amount of medium molecular weight($M_n=4,000$) fraction.

To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get excellent performance of high speed and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure and 12 step cap banks have been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.1{\times}0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.0{\times}0.4mm^2$. Through analysing of the fabricated frequency synthesizer, we can see that it has wide operation range and excellent frequency characteristics.

An ultra-compact and wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) in a quad flat non-leaded (QFN) package is presented. The LNA monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is implemented in a $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN IC technology on a Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate provided by Triquint. A source degeneration inductor and a gate inductor are used to obtain the noise and input matching simultaneously. The resistive feedback and inductor peaking techniques are employed to achieve a wideband characteristic. The LNA chip is mounted in the $3{\times}3-mm^2$ QFN package and measured. The supply voltages for the first and second stages are 14 V and 7 V, respectively, and the total current is 70 mA. The highest gain is 13.5 dB around the mid-band, and -3 dB frequencies are observed at 0.7 and 12 GHz. Input and output return losses ($S_{11}$ and $S_{22}$) of less than -10 dB measure from 1 to 12 GHz; there is an absolute bandwidth of 11 GHz and a fractional bandwidth of 169%. Across the bandwidth, the noise figures (NFs) are between 3 and 5 dB, while the output-referred third-order intercept points (OIP3s) are between 26 and 28 dBm. The overall chip size with all bonding pads is $1.1{\times}0.9mm^2$. To the best of our knowledge, this LNA shows the best figure-of-merit (FoM) compared with other published GaN LNAs with the same gate length.
