This paper presents an analysis of the power gain under partial shading conditions (PSC) when the partial shade loss is being compensated in photovoltaic(PV) system. To analyze the power gain, our study divides the mismatch loss into partial shade loss and operating point loss. Partial shade loss is defined as the power difference between a normal string and a partially shaded string at the maximum power point (MPP). Operating point loss is defined as the power loss due to the operating point shift while following the MPP of the PV array. Partial shading in a PV system affects the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control by creating multiple MPPs, which causes mismatch losses. Several MPPT algorithms have been suggested to solve the multiple MPP problems. Among these, mismatch compensation algorithms require additional power to compensate for the mismatch loss; however, these algorithms do not consider the gain or loss between the input power required for compensation and the increased output power obtained after compensation. This paper analyzes the power gain resulting from the partial shade loss compensation under PSC, using the V-P curve of the PV system, and verifies that power gain existence by simulation and experiment.

This paper analyzes the accuracy of free space path loss and matched filter gain approximated by using a passband rectangular pulse for ultra wideband (UWB) radio systems. The example causal signal, a modulated Gaussian pulse with the same center frequency and frequency bandwidth of the passband rectangular pulse, is used to consider the accuracy. The path loss and matched filter gain of the modulated Gaussian pulse are simulated for the reference results. The UWB free space path loss is shown and is compared with that obtained from simulation and Friis' transmission formula. The UWB matched filter gain is shown and compared with simulation results. From the results, we can see that the UWB path loss formula is more accurate than the Friis' transmission formula. The results from the UWB free space path loss and matched filter gain formulas agree with the simulation. Then, these free space path loss and matched filter gain formulas approximated by using a passband rectangular pulse are appropriate for UWB system.

이 연구는 저소득층이 겪는 물리적 자원에서의 상실과 획득이 안녕감에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 그리고 이들이 경제환경과 상호작용하며 경험하는 경제적 안정감이 그러한 상실 및 획득의 영향을 받아 안녕감에 어떠한 역할을 하는지를 탐색하고자 하였다. 이에 자활센터를 이용하는 저소득층 남녀 성인 254명을 대상으로 물리적 자원의 상실과 획득, 경제안정, 안녕감의 수준을 살펴보고, 자원의 상실 및 획득 각각이 안녕감에 영향을 주는 관계와 이 관계에서 경제안정 수준이 보이는 매개역할을 구조방정식모형 분석으로 검토하였다. 주요 연구결과는 첫째, 참여자들은 물리적 자원을 약간 잃거나 얻은 수준이고 획득이 상대적으로 높았다. 둘째, 경제안정 및 안녕감과의 관계에서 자원상실은 유의한 부적관계를, 획득은 유의한 정적 관계를 보였다. 셋째, 자원상실은 경제안정과 안녕감 각각에 대해 유의한 부적인 직접효과를 보인 한편 경제안정의 감소를 통해 안녕감을 감소시키는 간접효과도 유의하였다. 끝으로, 자원획득 역시 경제안정과 안녕감 각각에 대해 유의한 직접효과를 보이고 또 경제안정을 통한 정적인 간접효과가 유의하여 자원상실과 획득 두 모형 모두에서 부분매개모형이 지지되었다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 사회복지실천에서 저소득층 성인의 생활과 밀접히 관련되는 물리적 자원의 상실 및 획득, 경제안정, 안녕감을 활용할 방안과 조사연구에서 가질 수 있는 함의를 찾고 제언하였다.

The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between type of advertising and brand attachment. We divide advertising frame into loss and gain frame and examine the effect on brand attachment, The effect of unique advertising on brand attachment and the effects of interaction effects on brand attachment were examined. The results showed that the effect of the loss and gain frame on brand attachment was statistically significant. It also showed that unique advertising had positive effect on brand attachment. Moreover, the interaction effects of the advertising frame and the uniqueness of advertising have been shown to affect brand attachment. That is, the more emphasis on gain in advertising frame and the more unique advertising, the more effective on brand attachment.

본 논문에서는 주기적으로 분산 값의 부호가 바뀌는(dispersion managed: DM) 선로에서 급작스런 분산 변화로 인한 scattering을 완화시키도록 이득을 공간적으로 변조(gain management: GM)하는 시스템을 제안하고 이에 대한 modulation instability(MI) 변화에 대한 이론적인 분석과 수치해석적인 분석을 보고한다. 연구결과 어떤 경우에도 GM을 가한 시스템이 DM만을 한 시스템 보다 MI 이득의 크기와 cutoff frequency, side band peak모두가 작아짐을 확인하였다. 동일한 광신호 세기에 대해서 MI 이득이 작아지는 것은 four wave mixing 등 광섬유의 비선형 현상을 완화시킴으로써 파장분할다중화 전송의 품질 향상에 도움이 될 뿐 아니라, 솔리톤(soliton)을 이용한 전송에 있어서 하나의 펄스에 더 많은 에너지를 갖게 함으로써 신호대 잡음비를 개선할 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 분산과 이득이 동시에 조절된 선로의 효과를 솔리톤 전송 시스템의 개선된 특성을 편광모드분산(polarization mode dispersion: PMD)가 존재하는 선로에서의 펄스 폭 증가를 통하여 살펴본다.

Background and Objectives: In this study, we compared the outcomes of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss who underwent steroid treatment with or without hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and were followed-up in our clinic. Subjects and Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to their treatment regimen. Steroid group received intravenous 1 mg/kg methylprednisolone which was due to be completed in 2-3 weeks with decreasing doses, and five doses of 0.5 mL intratympanic dexamethasone. Steroid+HBO group received the same steroid treatment with the addition of HBO therapy. The audiologic results of both treatment groups were compared after considering the patients' risk factors. Results: There was no significant difference between the steroid and Steroid+HBO groups in terms of hearing gain and degree of recovery, both at all degrees of hearing loss, and in severe and profound hearing loss. Hearing gain was similar when evaluated by audiogram type and admission time in both treatment groups. Conclusions: We found that the addition of HBO therapy to systemic plus intratympanic steroid treatment did not affect hearing gain at all degrees of hearing loss in this study. Furthermore, audiogram type and admission time did not affect hearing gain between the two groups.

Purpose - This research aims to investigate how consumers' eco-friendly product choice ratio changes as the benefits of eco-friendly products are framed as (1) non-monetary benefits, (2) monetary gain integrated with the loss or (3) monetary gain segregated from the loss. Design/methodology/approach - A mixed-design, scenario-based choice experiment was conducted. A series of chi-square tests and residual analyses were conducted to analyze the data. Findings - When the monetary gain was larger or slightly smaller than the loss, the participants' eco-friendly product choice ratio was higher when the monetary gain was integrated with the loss than those in the other two conditions. When the monetary gain was significantly smaller than the loss, the participants' eco-friendly product choice ratio was lower when the monetary gain was integrated with the loss than those in the other conditions. The ratio did not differ between the latter two conditions. Research implications or Originality - This research shows that marketers should frame the benefits of eco-friendly products and their costs in different manners depending on the relative magnitudes of them. This research also complements the existing literature by comparing the effectiveness of non-monetary framing of eco-friendly product benefits with that of monetary framing following hedonic editing hypothesis.

Gamma-ray irradiation is known to induce various mutations in plants caused by chromosome alterations. This study investigated disease responses of selected gamma-ray induced rice mutants generated from seven Japonica-type rice cultivars against three plant diseases. Among the tested 22 mutants, three gain-of-function mutants and six loss-of-function mutants against rice blast were obtained, as well as three loss-of-function mutants against bacterial leaf blight (BLB). Two of the loss-of-function mutants were susceptible to both rice blast and BLB. Gain-of-function mutation has not been frequently observed in rice plants, thus, the mutants can be used to identify loci of novel genes for the regulation of disease resistant response.

Directly modulated fiber-optic links generally suffer higher link loss and larger signal distortion than externally modulated links. These result from the electron-photon conversion loss and laser modulation dynamics. As a method to overcome the drawbacks, we have experimentally demonstrated the RF performance of directly modulated, ultra-strong injection-locked gain-lever distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers. The free-running DBR lasers exhibit an improved amplitude modulation efficiency of 12.4 dB under gain-lever modulation at the expense of linearity. By combining gain-lever modulation with ultra-strong optical injection locking, we can gain the benefits of both improved modulation efficiency from the gain-lever effect, plus improved linearity from injection locking. Using an injection ratio of R=11 dB, a 23.4-dB improvement in amplitude response and an 18-dB improvement in spurious-free dynamic range have been achieved.
