In this paper, a new trellis-coded differential unitary space-time modulation (TC-DUSTM) scheme based on amplitude/phase-shift-keying (APSK) signals is proposed. In particular, the design criterion of the trellis coding is proposed to combine the trellis coding and DUSTM scheme based on APSK constellation. From the computer simulations, we verify the superiority of the proposed TC-DUSTM based on APSK signals at the higher transmission rate. In addition, the proposed scheme can suppress the irreducible error of the differential scheme.

High-Tc superconductor thick films of YBa2Cu$\chi$O7-y (X=3, 3.5, 4) of which thickness varies from 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$ were successfully prepared by plasma spraying method, and the characteristics of thick film depending on copper content and heat treatment conditions were investigated. Regardless of heat-treated temperature, the specimens with X=3 were composed of YBa2Cu$\chi$O7-y, Y2BaCuO5 and BaCuO3 phases. The specimens with X=4, however, were composed of YBa2Cu$\chi$O7-y phase at all heat treatment conditions. The specimens with X=4 composition showed the best superconducting characteristics after heat treatment at 925$^{\circ}C$, and the superconducting transition temperature with zero resistivity (Tc,zero) was 87K. The thick film lost superconductivity when the specimens were heat-treated at 950$^{\circ}C$ because of interdiffusion between superconductor elements and bond coating elements and Y2BaCuO5 phase was found was found to be main phase at the interface.

In this work, we presented the characterization of 3 dB branch type directional couplers by using High-Tc superconducting thin films. To do this, we deposited YBCO superconducting thin films on MgO substrates by using rf-magnetron sputtering techniques. The designed center frequency was 408 MHz and the designed passband was 20 MHz. Also we designed 3 dB Power difference and $90^{\circ}$ of phase difference between port 3 and port 4. The even and odd mode analysis were used to characterize our directional couplers and em Sonnet (full wave analysis program) was utilized to the optimum design. We reported experimental results, including a center frequency, passband, half power characteristics and phase differences. We confirmed that experimental results were in good agreements with characterization by using full wave analysis program.

The structural, electrical and magnetic properties were investigated for the high-Tc superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$, where x was 0.13. The results of temperature dependence of the resistivity and the magnetization in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ whose structure and phase are confirmed by arialysis of X-ray powder diffraction pattern have been reported. A very sharp superconductivity transition appears at 92K in the specimen whose chemical composition is determined from redox titration, strongly suggesting that this specimen consists of a single-phase superconductor. From the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetization curves, levitation and resistance measurements, it is suggested that the observed superconductivity is bulk property in nature and that the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ phase is responsible for the superconductivity of the present reproducible specimen.

High Tc superconducting with a BiSrCaCuO was prepared by the titrate method. The solid precursor produced by the dehydration of the gel at $120^{\circ}C$ for 12 h is not in the amorphous state as expected but in a crystalline state. X-tay diffraction peaks of nearly the same angular position as the peaks of high Tc phase were observed in the precursor.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of a diet with a red yeast sweet potato supplement on fecal amount and lipid metabolism in male Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 weeks. Rats were fed a high-fat diet (15% fat) with additional lard (7%) and cholesterol (1%) based on AIN-93G basal diet (7% fat) for 6 weeks during the first phase. In the second phase, which lasted 4 weeks, the rats divided into four experimental groups which were composed of a high-fat diet group as a control (CON), a high-fat diet with 5% white-fleshed sweet potato supplement group (WFSP), a high-fat diet with 5% red yeast sweet potato supplement group (RYSP), and a high-fat diet with 5% purple-fleshed sweet potato supplement group (PFSP). The fecal amount of group RYSP increased significantly during the second phase compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The fecal total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) content of group RYSP were also highest among all experimental groups. The serum TC and TG were shown to have the lowest levels in the group RYSP, and LDL-cholesterol levels were significantly decreased in groups RYSP and PFSP than in group CON (p<0.05). These results indicate that supplementation with red yeast sweet potato seemed to be effective in increasing feces and fecal lipid excretion, and also in decreasing serum lipid levels in rats fed a high-fat diet.

Bi based superconducting thin films were fabricated by 4-target RF magnetron sputtering using the method of controlling the on-off time. These thin films showed better crystal structures. The ratio of Cu/Bi decreased but the critical temperature increased with increasing the temperature of the substrate. High temperature phase low temperature of the substrate. High temperature phase low temperature phase and semiconducting phase can be formed by controlling the on-off time of the shutter respectively.

This study analyzes the characteristics of Western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TC) activity and large-scale environments according to the Western Pacific (WP) teleconnection pattern in summer. In the positive WP phase, an anomalous cyclone and an anomalous anticyclone develop in the low and middle latitudes of the East Asia, respectively. As a result, southeasterlies are reinforced in the northeast area of the East Asia including Korea and Japan which facilitates the movement of TC to this area, whereas northwesterlies are reinforced in the southwest area of the East Asia including South China and Indochina Peninsula which blocks the movement of TC to this area. Due to the spatial distribution of this reinforced pressure system, TCs develop, move, and turn more to the northeast of WNP than those in the negative WP phase. Consequently, the characteristics of this TC activity in the positive WP phase are associated with the location of upper tropospheric jet further to the northeast. Meanwhile, TCs in the negative WP phase mainly move to the west from Philippines toward south China and Indochina Peninsula. Furthermore, due to the terrain effect caused by the high passage frequency of TCs in the mainland China, the intensity of TCs are weaker than those in the positive WP phase.

This paper describes a series of experiments investigating the operational characteristics of high-Tc superconducting synchronous motor of five to six hundred watts capacity. In this experiment, ac 220V stator phase voltage and DC 4A excitation current are used, and the synchronous speed runs at 1800rpm. Hall Sensors are installed on the pole face and at the side of the Ag/Bi-2223 high-Tc superconducting tape in order to analyze the effect of the time-varying magnetic field on the motor performance when the load changes its value. The experimental observations are compared with the theoretical predictions.

.In this study, we measured Ic depending on a curvature radios of High Tc superconducting tapes which were made of a single wire, two and three WIT(wire in tube). Wires are manufactured by the process of press ins and sintering (150h, at 845$^{\circ}C$ ) for the growth of 2223 high Tc Bi superconducting phase. We know that Ic of a single wire decrease with reduction of a curvature radius. The maximum Ic of 2 WIT wire is 2.54 (A) and have a better characteristic than a single wire (0.89 A) at a curvature radius 75mm.
