Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) was chemically modified, and used for ultrafiltration to analyze the performance. Non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method was used to prepare membranes. The neat PVC membrane was casted and used as a control membrane. Modified membrane was prepared by reacting PVC with ethanolamine (EA) in the casting solution (labeled as CM-PVC). Pure water permeability (PWP) was evaluated by measuring pure water flux. Humic acid was used as model foulant solute to analyze flux and rejection ability of membranes. Flux and rejection data of neat and modified membranes were compared to prove the improvement in the filtration performance. The experimental results showed that for PVC and CM-PVC, PWP was calculated to be ~64 and ${\sim}143L/m^2{\cdot}h$, respectively, and the rejection of humic acid was found to be 98% and 100%, respectively. TGA was carried out to analyze the effect of chemical modification on the thermal stability of polymer. FT-IR analysis was another characterization technique used for the comparative study.

This paper presents a high gain and high harmonic rejection low-noise amplifier (LNA) for software-defined radio receiver. This LNA exploits the high quality factor (Q) series resonance technique. High Q series resonance can amplify the in-band signal voltage and attenuate the out-band signals. This is achieved by a source impedance transformation. This technique does not consume power and can easily support multiband operation. The chip is fabricated in a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS. It supports four bands (640, 710, 830, and 1,070MHz). The measured forward gain ($S_{21}$) is between 12.1 and 17.4 dB and the noise figure is between 2.7 and 3.3 dB. The IIP3 measures between -5.7 and -10.8 dBm, and the third harmonic rejection ratios are more than 30 dB. The LNA consumes 9.6 mW from a 1.2-V supply.

The Galactose-${\alpha}1$,3-galactose (${\alpha}1$,3Gal) epitope is responsible for hyperacute rejection in pig-to-human xenotransplantation. Human decay-accelerating factor (hDAF) is a cell surface regulatory protein that serves as a complement inhibitor to protect self cells from complement attack. The generation of ${\alpha}1$,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) knock-out pigs expressing DAF is a necessary step for their use as organ donors for humans. In this study, we established GGTA1 knock-out cell lines expressing DAF from pig ear fibroblasts for somatic cell nuclear transfer. hDAF expression was detected in hDAF knock-in heterozygous cells, but not in normal pig cells. Expression of the GGTA1 gene was lower in the knock-in heterozygous cell line compared to the normal pig cell. Knock-in heterozygous cells afforded more effective protection against cytotoxicity with human serum than with GGTA1 knock-out heterozygous and control cells. These cell lines may be used in the production of GGTA1 knock-out and DAF expression pigs for xenotransplantation.

A study herein is carried out for acceptance procedure of innovative products in the aspect which usage intention is formed by usefulness expectation and rejection factors for innovative products during acceptance procedure of users when information technology innovative products are launched in the market. Empirical study was carried out for non-smart phone users within mobile phone users. As a result of study, firstly, usefulness expectation of users for information technology innovative products is positively (+) affecting to usage intention, while usefulness expectation was shown to be negatively (-) affecting to rejection. Secondly, social factors were found which positively (+) affect to usefulness expectation for innovative products, and satisfaction for conventional products negatively (-) affects to usefulness expectation. Thirdly, there were satisfaction and consuming effort for conventional products from consumers for the factors which affects to innovative products rejection of consumers. Based on the result of study herein, there is a specific strategy needed for information technology innovative products although consumers have expectation usefulness for the products as well as rejection which brings out to remove the intention to use the products.

The aim of the study is to scrutinize the relationship between the area of resonance and center frequency with varying thickness by analyzing the characteristics of 2-port resonator. This was done through ideal design using Leach model equivalent model modified Mason model equivalent circuit for the application of bandpass filter high-frequency band with resonator Moreover, through the design of ladder-type BPF, we were able to observe changes in bandwidth, resonation, out-of-band rejection depending on the number and area of resonator.

The aim of the study is to scrutinize the relationship between the area of resonance and insertion loss by analyzing the characteristics of 2-port resonator. This was done through designing an air-gap type Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) by using CAD model for the application of bandpass filter of high-frequency band with piezoelectric thin film. Moreover, through the design of ladder-type BPF, we were able to observe changes in bandwidth, resonation, out-of-band rejection depending on the number and area of resonator.

In this paper, A low dropout (LDO) regulator that improves the power supply rejection ratio by using a noise canceling circuit is proposed. The noise rejection circuit between the error amplifier and the pass transistor is designed to reduce the influence of the pass transistor on the noise coming from the voltage source. The LDO regulator has the same regulation characteristics as the conventional LDO regulator. The proposed circuit uses 0.18um process and Cadence's Virtuoso and Specter simulator.

In this paper, we propose a low drop-out (LDO) regulator with improved power-supply rejection (PSR) characteristics in the high frequency region. In particular, an NMOS transistor with a high output resistance is added as a compensation circuit to offset the high frequency noise passing through the finite output resistance of the PMOS power switch. The elimination of power supply noise by the compensating transistor was explained analytically and presented as the direction for further improvement. The circuit was fabricated in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process and Specter simulations were carried out to confirm the PSR improvement of 26 dB compared to the conventional LDO regulator at 10 MHz.

In this paper, two types of thin nim bulk acoustic resonator(TFBAR) ladder filters are desisted and fabricated to analyze the effects of on-wafer inductor integration. To suppress the overmode phenomenon a 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thick air-gap is fabricated under the TFBAR and aluminum nitride is used for piezoelectric material, while platinum is employed for the top and bottom electrodes. The Tx filter in a duplexer, which usually has a steeper skirt characteristics o the right side of the passband, is designed with four serial and two shunt resonators, namely, a 4/2 stage. Similarly, the Rx filter is devised with a 3/4 stage to create a mirrored image of the Tx filter passband characteristics. Fabricated on-wafer spiral inductors with underpass reveals the Q factor of 5～9 at 2 ㎓. Inductor integrated filters have approximately 10 to 12 ㏈ out-of-band rejection improvement, when compared to the original filters.

In the generated model for the recognition vocabulary, tri-phones which is not make preparations are produced. Therefore this model does not generate an initial estimate of parameter words, and the system can not configure the model appear as disadvantages. As a result, the sophistication of the Gaussian model is fall will degrade recognition. In this system, we propose the error correction system using out-of vocabulary rejection algorithm. When the systems are creating a vocabulary recognition model, recognition rates are improved to refuse the vocabulary which is not registered. In addition, this system is seized the lexical analysis and meaning using probability distributions, and this system deactivates the string before phoneme change was applied. System analysis determine the rate of error correction using phoneme similarity rate and reliability, system performance comparison as a result of error correction rate improve represent 2.8% by method using error patterns, fault patterns, meaning patterns.
