The conventional modeling equations for planar MOSFET can not be directly used for zero or minus junction depth concave MOSFET. In this paper, we suggest a new model which can simulate the electrical characteristics of concave MOSFET. The threshold voltage modeling was achieved using the charge sharing method considering the relative difference of source and drain depletion widths. To analyze the ID-VDS characteristics, the conventional expressions for planar MOSFET were employed with the electrical channel length as an effective channel length and the channel length modulation factor as ${\alpha}$ΔL. By comparing the proposed model with experimental results, we could get reasonably similar curves and we proposed a concave MOSFET conditiion which shows no short channel effect of threshold voltage(V${\gamma}$).

Small and large conductance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^+(SK_{Ca}\;and\;BK_{Ca})$ channels are implicated in the modulation of neuronal excitability. We investigated how changes in peripheral $K_{Ca}$ channel activity affect mechanical sensitivity as well as the afferent fiber type responsible for $K_{Ca}$ channel-induced mechanical sensitivity. Blockade of $SK_{Ca}$ and $BK_{Ca}$ channels induced a sustained decrease of mechanical threshold which was significantly attenuated by topical application of capsaicin onto afferent fiber and intraplantar injection of 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone. NS1619 selectively attenuated the decrease of mechanical threshold induced by charybdotoxin, but not by apamin. Spontaneous flinching and paw thickness were not significantly different after $K_{Ca}$ channel blockade. These results suggest that mechanical sensitivity can be modulated by $K_{Ca}$ channels on capsaicin-sensitive afferent fibers.

We have investigated the effect of electrical properties of amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs) by post thermal annealing in $O_2$ ambient. The post-annealed in $O_2$ ambient a-IGZOTFT is found to be more stable to be used for oxide-based TFT devices, and has better performance, such as the on/off current ratios, sub-threshold voltage gate swing, and, as well as reasonable threshold voltage, than others do. The interface trap density is controlled to achieve the optimum value of TFT transfer and output characteristics. The device performance is significantly affected by adjusting the annealing condition. This effect is closely related with the modulation annealing method by reducing the localized trapping carriers and defect centers at the interface or in the channel layer.

OFDM은 심볼간 간섭에 대한 강인성으로 인하여 4세대 광대역 이동통신에 적합한 변조방식으로 활발히 연구되고 있다. OFDM 전송 기술은 신호 대 잡음비에 따라서 각 부반송파의 변조기법을 적응적으로 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 광대역 이동 채널에서 OFDM 시스템을 위한 적응적 변조기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 목표 BER의 SNR 임계값을 이용하여 각 부반송파에 초기 비트를 할당하고, Chow 알고리즘을 적용하여 전체 비트수를 목표 비트수와 같게 제어한다. 또한, 제안한 알고리즘은 부반송파들을 블록으로 구성함으로써 부반송파의 비트할당을 위한 시그날링 오버헤드를 줄였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 광대역 이동채널에서 블록내의 부반송파의 수, 목표 BER, 그리고 도플러 주파수에 대한 적응형 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 평가하였다.

In this paper, we propose two schemes to reduce the complexity of fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm in the ordering and tree-search stages, respectively, while achieving quasi-ML performance. In the ordering stage, we propose a QR-decomposition-based FSD signal ordering based on the zero-forcing criterion (FSD-ZF-SQRD) that requires only a few number of additional complex flops compared to the unsorted QRD. Also, the proposed ordering algorithm is extended using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to achieve better performance. In the tree-search stage, we introduce a threshold-based complexity reduction approach for the FSD depending on the reliability of the signal with the largest noise amplification. Numerical results show that in 8 ${\times}$ 8 MIMO system, the proposed FSD-ZF-SQRD and FSD-MMSE-SQRD only require 19.5% and 26.3% of the computational efforts required by Hassibi's scheme, respectively. Moreover, a third threshold vector is outlined which can be used for high order modulation schemes. In 4 ${\times}$ 4 MIMO system using 16-QAM and 64-QAM, simulation results show that when the proposed threshold-based approach is employed, FSD requires only 62.86% and 53.67% of its full complexity, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new feedback scheme called mode selection-based feedback by scheduling probability prediction (SPP-MF) for channel state feedback in OFDMA downlink system. We design the scheme such that it determines the more desirable feedback mode among selective feedback by scheduling probability prediction (SPP-SF) mode and bitmap feedback by scheduling probability prediction (SPP-BF) mode, by calculating and comparing the throughputs of the two modes. In both feedback modes, each user first calculates the scheduling probability of each subchannel (i.e., the probability that a user wins the scheduling competition for a subchannel) and then forms a feedback message based on the scheduling probability. Specifically, in the SPP-SF mode, each user reports the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) levels and indices of its best S subchannels in terms of the scheduling probability. In the SPP-BF mode, each user determines its scheduling probability threshold. Then, it forms a bitmap for the subchannels according to the scheduling probability threshold and sends the bitmap along with the threshold. Numerical results reveal that the proposed SPP-MF scheme achieves significant performance gain over the existing feedback schemes.

Melittin, a major component of bee venom, produces a sustained decrease in mechanical threshold, and an increase in spontaneous flinchings and paw thickness, which are characteristics similar to those induced by whole bee venom. Melittin-induced nociception has been known to be modulated by the changes in the activity of excitatory amino acid receptors, voltage-dependent calcium channels, cyclooxygenase and serotonin receptors. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of calcium chelators (TMB-8 & Quin 2) in melittin-induced nociceptive responses. Changes of mechanical threshold and spontaneous flinching behaviors were measured at a given time point following intraplantar injection of melittin ($30{\mu}g/paw$). Intrathecal or intraplantar pre-administration and intrathecal posttreatment of TMB-8 and Quin 2 significantly prevented the melittin-induced reduction of mechanical threshold, and intraplantar or intrathecal pre-treatment of TMB-8 and Quin 2 suppressed melittininduced flinching behaviors. These results indicate that calcium ion in the spinal dorsal horn neurons and peripheral nerves plays an important role in the production and maintenance of mechanical allodynia and spontaneous pain by melittin.

This paper represents analysis of field test results of terrestrial DTV on channel repeaters over Taejon city area. Two kind of on channel repeaters were tested. Non-regenerative repeater performs filtering, amplifying and re-transmit received main DTV signal. Regenerative repeater performs demodulation, modulation and amplifying and re-transmit received main DTV signal. The non-regenerative repeater threshold D/U ratio is about 10dB better than regenerative repeater's one.

A new pathlength deviation detection technique which is composed of michelson interferometer is described and verified experimentally. The technique uses a sub-threshold biased visible laser diode of 20$\mu$m coherence length as a low-coherent light source. And for zeroth-order fringe(which is the largest among fringes) identification we used a piezoelectric transducer with a large modulation smplitude, which enables without the need of constant velocity scanning, to distinguish reflection surfaces separated by more than 10$\mu$m with a resolution of less than half-wavelength.
