This paper describes design of a 10.525 GHz self oscillating mixer semiconductor IC chip combining voltage controlled oscillator and frequency mixer using silicon CMOS technology for Doppler radar applications. The p-core type VCO included in the self oscillating mixer minimizes the noise contained in the transmitted signal. This noise minimization increases the sensing distance and acts in a direction favorable to the reaching distance and the sensitivity of the motion detection sensor. Simulation results for phase noise show that a VCO designed as a P-core has a noise characteristic of -106.008 dBc / Hz at 1 MHz offset and -140.735 dBc / Hz at 25 MHz offset compared to a VCO designed with N-core and NP-core showed excellent noise characteristics. If a self-oscillating mixer is implemented using a p-core designed VCO in this study, a motion sensor with excellent range and reach sensitivity will be produced.

Objective: Core training is a key exercise for conditioning and fitness programs, injury prevention, and more. This study aimed to find out the effect of adding dynamic core training, which is frequently prescribed in clinical practice, on dynamic balance and muscle activity compared to conventional static core training. Design: An experimental study Methods: This study is an experimental pilot study of prospective parallel design. Six healthy young adults were allocated to static core training group (SCG; crunch and plank) and blended group (BG; crunch, plank, and dead bug exercise) for two weeks to perform core training. Dynamic balance and muscle activity (erector spinae, rectus abdominis) were measured for all participants before and after core training. Results: All six healthy young adults enrolled completed the study. No significant difference was found before and after 6 sessions of core training in each group (P>0.05). Likewise, no significant difference was found in the results of the difference comparison between groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, in this experimental study, no difference was found when dynamic core training was added. Although the results before and after core training did not show improvement in dynamic balance and muscle activity, a randomized controlled trial is needed considering the results of previous studies and the limitations of this experimental study.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of core stability training on postural control and balance of hemiplegia patients who are difficult to control posture due to stroke. Methods : Subjects of the study were consisted of 25 adult hemiplegia patients(experimental 12, control 13) who were receiving rehabilitation therapy in hospital. Its group had a core stability training program by a physical therapists for 40 minutes, five times a week for nine-week period. Measurements of postural assessment scale for stroke(PASS), berg balance scale(BBS) and manual function test(MFT) were evaluated at initial presentation(pretest) and after completion of the each therapy program(posttest). Independent t-test and paired t-test was utilized to detect the mean difference between the groups. Results : Firstly, the result of PASS showed that postural control was significantly increased after the completion of core stability training(p<.01). Secondly, the result of BBS showed that balance control was significantly increased after the completion of core stability training(p<.01) and general physical therapy(p<.01). Lastly, the result of MFT showed that upper extremity's motor function was significantly increased after the completion of core stability training(p<.001). Conclusions : This study showed that core stability training is an effective treatment strategy on postural control, balance and upper extremity's motor function.

The structures of the mesophases and their subunits of PS-b-P4VP in a toluene solution were studied by using SAXS, TEM and GIFT methods. The hierarchical structures of PS-b-P4VP, such as the individual micelle, the face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc) structures and the lamellar structure, were identified for the first time. The diameter of the micelle core was ${\sim}80\;%$ of the most extended chain length of the core chain, suggesting that the core chains were quite stretched. The stretched chain in the core caused the core of the micelle to be not homogenous with a higher density at the center than at the outer part. As the concentration level increases, the fcc and both fcc and bcc appear for the packing of the micelles of PS(3.3k)-b-P4VP(4.7K) and PS(12K)-b-P4VP(11.8K), respectively. The lamellar structure was also identified, with a further increase in the concentration for PS(3.3k)-b-P4VP(4.7K). These hierarchical structures were also identified via TEM images.

A partition of n is called a t-core partition if none of its hook number is divisible by t. In 2019, Hirschhorn and Sellers [5] obtained a parity result for 3-core partition function a3(n). Motivated by this result, both the authors [8] recently proved that for a non-negative integer α, a3αm(n) is almost always divisible by an arbitrary power of 2 and 3 and at(n) is almost always divisible by an arbitrary power of pji, where j is a fixed positive integer and t = pa11pa22···pamm with primes pi ≥ 5. In this article, by using Hecke eigenform theory, we obtain infinite families of congruences and multiplicative identities for a2(n) and a13(n) modulo 2 which generalizes some results of Das [2].
