A comparative study was performed to investigate the efficacy of KiFAY as a feed additive on performance parameters, thyroid, and pancreatic hormone levels in broilers. Ninety birds (Vencobb 400) were randomly divided into three groups viz., Control (no DL-methionine supplementation), Treatment1 (containing added DL-methionine) and Treatment 2 (containing KiFAY and without DL-methionine supplementation). The performance parameters (weekly body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, and feed consumption ratio) were recorded and calculated during the whole study of 4 weeks. Analyses of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF 1), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were performed at the end of the study. The results show that birds on supplementation of KiFAY performed significantly (p<0.001) better than other treatments. The weekly body weight, body weight gain, feed in-take and feed consumption ratio improved in KiFAY treated birds. The study found an increase in insulin and IGF1 levels (p<0.001) in KiFAY compared with the other treatments. Serum T3, T4, and TSH levels in the Treatment 2 were higher than other treatments (p<0.001). The KiFAY supplementation was able to improve performance with associated responses at a hormonal level in broilers.

High speed serial link에 적합한 clock multiphase generator용 integrated phase-locked loop (PLL)을 설계하였다. 설계된 PLL은 programmable current mirror를 사용하여 동작 범위 안에서 동일한 loop bandwidth와 damping factor를 가진다. 또한 설계한 PLL 회로 netlists를 가지고 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통해 close-loop transfer function과 VCO의 phase noise transfer function을 구하였다. Board 위 칩의 자체 임피던스는 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따라 계산된다. 세부적으로, close-loop transfer function에서 gain의 최대값과 VCO noise transfer function에서 gain의 최대값 사이의 주파수범위에서 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따른 보드 위 칩의 자체 임피던스를 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 보드에서의 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치가 PLL의 jitter에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 설계된 PLL은 1.8V의 동작 전압에서 400MHz에서 2GH의 wide operation range를 가지며 $0.18-{\mu}m$ EMOS공정으로 설계하였다. Reference clock은 100MHz이며 전체 PLL power consumption은 1.2GHz에서 17.28 mW이다.

신경아세포종은 미분화된 신경외배엽 세포로부터 유래한 신경능세포에 의해 형성된 소아기에 보는 가장 많이 발생하는 악성 종양 중 하나이다. 신경아세포종인 Neuro-2a 세포는 신경세포의 분화, 세포사 억제 효능, 세포독성 검정 등에 활용되고 있다. Neuro-2a 역시 다른 신경아세종과 같이 염색체 변이를 가지고 있지만, 이에 대해 고밀도의 게놈수준에서 염색체 변이에 대해 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 고집적 마이크로어레이(최소 43,000 개의 코딩, non-코딩 유전자 서열이 집적된 마이크로어레이)기반의 비교유전체보합법을 활용하여, 고해상도의 Neuro-2a 유전체 이상을 분석하였다. 마이크로 어레이 데이터는 Hidden Markov Model을 활용하여, 유전체 변이를 double loss, single loss, normal, single gain 그리고 amplification으로 나누어 분석하였다. Neuro2a는 MYCN 유전자의 증폭은 관찰되지 않았고, GDNF, BDNF, NENF등의 neurotrophic factor 가운데 NENF의 gain 현상이 관찰 되었다. 염색체의 이상은 4,8,10,11,15번에서 발견되었으며, 염색체 3,17,18,19에서는 전부 20개 미만의 염색체 이상이 발견되었다. 염색체 이상이 연속적으로 일어난 부위 중 gain으로서 가장 긴 부분은 Chr8:8,427,841-35,162,415의 약 26.7 Mb이며, single loss로서 가장 긴 곳은 Chr4:73,265,785-88,374,165의 약 15.1 Mb였다. 염색체의 위치는 UCSC 데이터베이스 (UCSC mm8, NCBI Build 36)에 근거하였다.

Solar assisted heat pump system uses solar thermal energy as a heat source of evaporator of heat pump. So, COP can be enhanced as well as collector efficiency. For improving performance of this system, some research about hybrid solar collector that has fin-and-tube heat exchanger has been conducted. This collector can get a thermal energy from ambient air for liquid heating, so heated liquid can be used as a heat source of evaporator in heat pump even the solar radiation is not enough. In this study, numerical analysis was conducted for confirming heat gain of liquid according to fin height and pitch of fin-and-tube heat exchanger in collector. As a result, higher heat gain was obtained on lower fin height and narrow fin pitch, but the pressure drop also increased with increment of heat gain. Thus the JF factor considering both heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop was investigated and the maximum value was shown when the fin height and pitch were 40mm and 45mm. So it is considered that this installation condition has a highest heat transfer improvement when comparing with pressure drop. However heat gain of liquid at this condition was less than the other installation conditions of fin pitch on same height. Then, after establishing a proper minimum heat gain of liquid, actual production and experiment of collector will be conducted with fin height and pitch showing maximum JF factor and satisfying selected minimum heat gain of liquid on the basis of results of this study.

This paper describes an approach for synthesizing a Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) that combines the benefits of fuzzy logic control and fuzzy logic gain scheduling for the F/A-18 aircraft. Specially, fuzzy rules are utilized on-line to determine the denoralization factor(Κ) of a feedback fuzzy controller based on the dynamic pressure(Q) indicateing the region of the flight envelop the aircraft is operating in. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FLC provides excellent compensation for time-varying and/or nonlinear characteristics of the aircraft, and that it also exhibits satisfactory robustness with noisy air data sensors.

An analysis is presented for super-high-speed optical demodulation by an avalanche photodiode(APD) with electric mixing. A normalized gain is defined to evaluate the performance of the optical mixing detection. Unlike previous work, we include the effect of the nonlinear variation of the APD capacitance with bias voltage as well as the effect of parasitic and amplifier input capacitance. As a results, the normalized gain is dependent on the signal frequency and the frequency difference between the signal and the local oscillator frequency. However, the current through the equivalent resistance of the APD is almost independent of signal frequency. The mixing output is mainly attributed to the nonlinearity of the multiplication factor. We show also that there is an optimal local oscillator voltage at which the normalized gain is maximized for a given avalanche photodiode.

According to the macroeconomic allocation efficiency measure, particularly based on the methodology of Hsieh and Klenow (2009), Korea's allocation efficiency in the manufacturing industry deteriorated in the 2000s compared to that in the 1990s. This study compares the potential TFP gain when resource allocation is removed, an indicator of allocation inefficiency according to Hsieh and Klenow (2009), and the productivity dispersion in the Korean manufacturing industry. It finds that the TFP gain may be better explained by TFP dispersions rather than proxies related to factors of distortion. The findings imply that we should investigate the sources of TFP dispersion rather than the sources of distortion to explain increases in the TFP gain (or TFP loss), which is considered as allocation inefficiency in the literature.

Diffusion coefficient of Fe in polycrystalline host ZnSe as a mid-IR gain medium has been measured in the annealing temperature ranges of 850 to $950^{\circ}C$. The synthesis of the samples was carried out in quartz ampoule in which the Fe thin film deposited by physical vapor evaporation method on the ZnSe. One can realize that the diffusion coefficient strongly depends on the surface active surfactants through the cleaning process and the substrate temperature during the thin film deposition leading to $2.04{\times}10^{-9}cm^2/s$ for $Fe^{2+}:ZnSe$. The Annealing temperature dependence of the Fe ions diffusion in ZnSe was used to evaluate the activation energy, $E_a$=1.39 eV for diffusion and the pre-exponential factor $D_0$ of $13.5cm^2/s$.

This work proposes a simple control method of a buck-type active power decoupling circuit that can minimize the ripple values in the dc link voltage. The proposed method utilizes a simplified duty calculation method and an optimal compensation gain tracking algorithm with variable-step approach. Thus, the dc link voltage ripple can be effectively reduced through the proposed method along with rapid response in tracking the optimum compensation gain. Moreover, the proposed method has better dynamic responses in the load fluctuation or abnormal situation. MATLAB/Simulink simulation and hardware-in-the-loop-simulation(HILS)-based experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In this paper, we consider an algorithm for effectively providing data services for mobile users with different levels of priorities in a DS-CDMA system. The priority level of a user is specified by a factor that is a weighting on the instantaneous data throughput of the user. We define tile weighted instantaneous aggregate data throughput and use it to characterize the performance of the prioritized data service. Our prioritized data service is implemented so that the weighted instantaneous aggregate data throughput is maximized via efficient power and spreading gain allocation. We present efficient algorithms for computing tile optimal power and spreading gain allocation.
