Preliminary results are reported on ship detection using coherence images computed from cross-correlating images of multi-look-processed dual-polarization data (HH and HV) of ENVISAT ASAR. The traditional techniques of ship detection by radars such as CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) rely on the amplitude data, and therefore the detection tends to become difficult when the amplitudes of ships images are at similar level as the mean amplitude of surrounding sea clutter. The proposed method utilizes the property that the multi-look images of ships are correlated with each other. Because the inter-look images of sea surface are covered by uncorrelated speckle, cross-correlation of multi-look images yields the different degrees of coherence between the images and water. In this paper, the polarimetric information of ships, land and intertidal zone are first compared based on the cross-correlation between HH and HV images, In the next step, we examine the technique when the dual-polarization data are split into two multi-look images, It was shown that the inter-look cross-correlation method could be applicable in the performance improvement of small ship detection and the land masking, It was also found that a simple combination of coherence images from each co-polarised (HH) inter-look and cross-polarised (HV) inter-look data can provide much higher target-detection possibilities.

We have investigated the dielectric and electrical characteristics of palmitic acid(PA) stearic acid(SA) and arachidic acid(AA) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films because these fatty acid systems have a same hydrophilic group and a different hydrophobic one(methylene group or alkyl chain length). The fatty acid systems were used as LB films and the status of the deposited films was confirmed by evaluating the transfer ratio the UV absorption and the capacitance. The dielectric characteristics such as the frequency-capacitance characteristics and the dielectric dispersion and absorption characteristics of PA SA and AA through-plane were measured. The relative dielectric constants of PA, SA and AA LB films were about 3.0~4.6, 2.7~3.0 and 2.4~3.0 respectively. That is the relative dielectric constants were decreased in proportion to the chain length of methylene group. Also the dielectric dispersion and absorption of each fatty acid LB films have arisen from spontaneous polarization of dipole polarization in the range of 10$^4$~10$^{5}$ ［Hz］. The conductivity of PA, SA and AA LB films obtained from I-V characteristics were about 9$\times$10$^{-14}$ , 3$\times$10$^{-14}$ and 5$\times$10$^{-15}$ ［S/cm］. respectively. These results have shown the insulating materials and could control the conductivity y changing the length of methylene group. Also we have confirmed that the barrier height of fatty acid systems were almost the same ones obtained from dielectric characteristics.

The Wide-Angle Polarimetric Camera (PolCam) is installed on the Korea's lunar orbiter, Danuri, which launched on August 5, 2022. The mission objectives of PolCam are to construct photometric maps at a wavelength of 336 nm and polarization maps at 461 and 748 nm, with a phase angle range of 0°-135° and a spatial resolution of less than 100 m. PolCam is an imager using the push-broom method and has two cameras, Cam 1 and Cam 2, with a viewing angle of 45° to the right and left of the spacecraft's direction of orbit. We conducted performance tests in a laboratory setting before installing PolCam's flight model on the spacecraft. We analyzed the CCD's dark current, flat-field frame, spot size, and light flux. The dark current was obtained during thermal / vacuum test with various temperatures and the flat-field frame data was also obtained with an integrating sphere and tungsten light bulb. We describe the calibration method and results in this study.

SiOC 박막을 BTMSM과 산소의 혼합가스를 사용하여 CVD 방법으로 증착하였다. 박막의 특성은 가스 유량비에 따라서 변하였다. 유전상수는 MIS 구조를 이용하여 C-V 측정법에 의하여 얻었다. 결합의 말단을 구성하는 Si-$CH_3$ 결합 사이의 공간효과에 의해서 기공이 만들어지며, 기공의 형성에 의해서 박막의 두께가 증가하였다. 그러나 분극의 감소에 의해서 만들어지는 SiOC 박막은 두께가 감소하면서 유전상수도 감소되었다. 열처리 후 유전상수는 수산기의 기화에 의해서 감소되었다. 박막의 두께는 분극의 감소에 의한 유전상수의 감소와 연관이 있었다. 굴절률은 박막의 두께에 반비례하는 경향성이 있으며, 박막의 두께와 굴절률의 경향성은 열처리 후에도 변하지 않았다.

Cathode material, $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$, for low temperature SOFC was prepared by the Glycine-Nitrate synthesis Process (GNP). Characteristics of the synthesized powders were studied with controlling the pH of a precursor solution. Highly acidic precursor solution increased a perovskite forming temperature. It is considered that Ba and Sr cannot complex by carboxylic acid group of glycine, because under highly acidic condition the caboxylic group mainly combined with H+ insead of alkaline earth cations. A lack of bond between cations and glycine resulted in selective precipitation of the elements during evaporation of the precursor solution. In case of using precursor solution with pH %2\~3$, a single perovskite phase was obtained at $1000^{\circ}C$. Polarization resistance of $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$ was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy from the two electrode symmetric cell. Area specific resistance of the $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-\delta}$ air electrode at $500^{\circ}C\;and\;600^{\circ}C$ were $0.96{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2\;and\;0.16{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, respectively.

Background: As the main metabolites of ginsenosides, 20(S, R)-protopanaxadiol [PPD(S, R)] and 20(S, R)-protopanaxatriol [PPT(S, R)] are the structural basis response to a series of pharmacological effects of their parent components. Although the estrogenicity of several ginsenosides has been confirmed, however, the underlying mechanisms of their estrogenic effects are still largely unclear. In this work, PPD(S, R) and PPT(S, R) were assessed for their ability to bind and activate human estrogen receptor α (hERα) by a combination of in vitro and in silico analysis. Methods: The recombinant hERα ligand-binding domain (hERα-LBD) was expressed in E. coli strain. The direct binding interactions of ginsenosides with hERα-LBD and their ERα agonistic potency were investigated by fluorescence polarization and reporter gene assays, respectively. Then, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to simulate the binding modes between ginsenosides and hERα-LBD to reveal the structural basis for their agonist activities toward receptor. Results: Fluorescence polarization assay revealed that PPD(S, R) and PPT(S, R) could bind to hERα-LBD with moderate affinities. In the dual luciferase reporter assay using transiently transfected MCF-7 cells, PPD(S, R) and PPT(S, R) acted as agonists of hERα. Molecular docking results showed that these ginsenosides adopted an agonist conformation in the flexible hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. The stereostructure of C-20 hydroxyl group and the presence of C-6 hydroxyl group exerted significant influence on the hydrogen bond network and steric hindrance, respectively. Conclusion: This work may provide insight into the chemical and pharmacological screening of novel therapeutic agents from ginsenosides.

The electrical and rheological properties of a chitosan malonate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields, volume fractions of particles, and shear rates, respectively, The chitosan malonate susepnsion showed a typical electrorheological (ER) response caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and shear yield stress due to the formation of multiple chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress fur the suspension exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction and an electric field power of 1.88. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized chitosan malonate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.

An ambiguity on the correct room temperature structure of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$ was resolved using a combined Rietveld refinement of neutron and X-ray diffraction. The structure of this compound has been reported to have a space group of F2mm (adopting 2-fold rotation symmetry along the c-axis) or A21am. However, our diffraction, study reveals that some reflections would violate F-centering and confirm that the belong to $A2_1$am. Out refinement with the space group of $A2_1$am converged at $R_p=6.85%, R_wp=9.23%$ and $\chi^2$=1.66 for an isotropic temperature model with 85 variables. The lattice constants are a=5.4677(1) $\AA$, b=5.4396(1) $\AA$, and c=41.2475(8)$\AA$. In structure, Ti/Fe atoms at the oxygen octahedral sites of the perovskite unit are completely disordered, resulting in that these atoms are transparent in neutron diffraction. The octahedra of the perovskite unit are relatively displaced along the a-axis against the Bi atoms, which contribute as a major component to the spontaneous polarization of $Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15}$.
