  • The links between super-massive black hole masses and their host galaxy properties are observed, indicating that black hole growth and host galaxy evolution are closely related. Reverberation mapping, which uses the time delay from the central black hole to broad line regions, is one of the best methods to estimate masses of black holes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, only masses of about 50 black holes have been determined in reverberation mapping studies so far, and most of them are limited to optical luminosities below 10^45 erg/s due to the challenges of long-term time domain observations in both photometry and spectroscopy. In this project, we expand reverberation mapping samples to higher luminosities of > 10^44.5 erg/s at 0.1 < z < 0.35, that have expected time lags of 40 - 250 light days. Photometric (using LOAO 1-m and MDM 1.3-m) and spectroscopic (using MDM 2.4-m and Lick 3-m) monitoring campaigns are being conducted for a 3 year duration and 20 day cadence. Precedent photometric observations in 2015B show some targets with variability and follow-up spectroscopic observations are on-going. In this presentation, we introduce our project, present reverberation mapping simulation results, and preliminary results on photometry. These reverberation mapping masses of relatively high luminous AGNs will provide a strong constraint on black hole mass calibration, e.g., the single-epoch mass estimation.

  • Currently, the quantize-and-forward (QF) scheme with high order modulation and quantization has rather high complexity and it is thus impractical, especially in multiple relay cooperative communications. To overcome these deficiencies, an improved low complex QF scheme is proposed by the combination of the low order binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation and the 1-bit and 2-bit quantization, respectively. In this scheme, the relay selection is optimized by the best relay position for best bit-error-rate (BER) performance, where the relays are located closely to the destination node. In addition, an optimal power allocation is also suggested on a total power constraint. Finally, the BER and the achievable rate of the low order 1-bit, 2-bit and 3-bit QF schemes are simulated and analyzed. Simulation results indicate that the 3-bit QF scheme has about 1.8~5 dB, 4.5~7.5 dB and 1~2.5 dB performance gains than those of the decode-and-forward (DF), the 1-bit and 2-bit QF schemes, at BER of $10^{-2}$, respectively. For the 2-bit QF, the scheme of the normalized Source-Relay (S-R) distance with 0.9 has about 5dB, 7.5dB, 9dB and 15dB gains than those of the distance with 0.7, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.1, respectively, at BER of $10^{-3}$. In addition, the proposed optimal power allocation saves about 2.5dB much more relay power on an average than that of the fixed power allocation. Therefore, the proposed QF scheme can obtain excellent features, such as good BER performance, low complexity and high power efficiency, which make it much pragmatic in the future cooperative communications.

  • 본 연구에서는 타원궤도상에서 위성의 편대비행을 유지하기 위하여 필요한 포기조건을 결정하고자 한다. 타원궤도일 경우 Hill 방정식으로는 위성간의 상대운동을 기술할 수 없기 때문에, Hill 방정식의 초기조건에 비선형성과 이심률에 대한 보정을 하여 얻은 새로운 운동방정식을 사용했다. 편대비행에서 상대적 거리를 유지하기 위하여 주위성과 부위성의 평균각속도를 일치시키는 구속조건을 이용했다. 이 구속조건은 J2 섭동항을 고려한 것이므로, 이 구속조건을 만족하는 편대비행의 초기조건은 타원궤도에서의 위성편대비행을 유지하는데 잘 적용될 수 있다. 타원궤도에서의 상대운동방정식 초기조건에 J2 섭동을 고려한 구속조건을 적용할 때, 이심률이 0.05 이하이고 위성간의 상대거리가 0.5km 정도인 경우만이 주기적으로 일정하게 간격이 유지되는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 이심률이 크지 않은 타원궤도에서는 평균각속도 일치의 구속조건을 사용하여 위성간의 상대거리를 유지할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 이용하여 타원궤도에서의 위성편대비행을 위한 효율적인 초기조건을 제공할 수 있고, 위성편대비행의 운용에 있어서 비용을 절감할 수 있는 방법을 제시할 수 있다.

  • In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to find the Maximum Weight Independent Set (MWIS) of a graph. First, MWIS problem is formulated as a 0-1 integer programming optimization problem with linear objective function and a single quadratic constraint. Then GA is implemented with the help of this formulation. Since GA is a heuristic search method, exact solution is not reached in every run. Though the suboptimal solution obtained is very near to the exact one. Computational result comprising an average performance is also presented here.

  • The generalized knapsack problem or gknap is the combinatorial optimization problem of optimizing a nonnegative linear function over the integral hull of the intersection of a polynomially separable 0-1 polytope and a knapsack constraint. The knapsack, the restricted shortest path, and the constrained spanning tree problem are a partial list of gknap. More interesting1y, all the problem that are known to have a fully polynomial approximation scheme, or FPTAS are gknap. We establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for a gknap to admit an FPTAS. To do so, we recapture the standard scaling and approximate binary search techniques in the framework of gknap. This also enables us to find a weaker sufficient condition than the strong NP-hardness that a gknap does not have an FPTAS. Finally, we apply the conditions to explore the fully polynomial approximability of the constrained spanning problem whose fully polynomial approximability is still open.

  • In this paper, the relationship between the bandwidth (BW) and power efficiency of a source follower based (SFB) filter is quantitatively analyzed, and a design methodology for a SFB filter for optimized BW - power consumption is introduced. The proposed design methodology achieves a maximum BW at a target quality (Q) factor for the given power consumption constraint by controlling design factors individually. In order to achieve the target BW from the maximized BW, a tuning method is introduced. Through the proposed design methodology, a fourth order Butterworth filter was implemented in 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The measured BW, power consumption, and IIP3 are 100 MHz, 33 ${\mu}W$, and 9 dBm, respectively. Compared with other filter structures, the measured results show high BW - power efficiency.

  • In nonparametric entropy estimation, both mass and mean-preserving maximum entropy distribution (Theil, 1980) and the underlying distribution of the sample entropy (Vasicek, 1976), the most widely used entropy estimator, consist of nb mass-preserving densities based on disjoint Intervals of the simple averages of two adjacent order statistics. In this paper, we notice that those nonparametric density functions do not actually keep the mass-preserving constraint, and propose a modified sample entropy by considering the generalized 0-statistics (Kaigh and Driscoll, 1987) in averaging two adjacent order statistics. We consider the proposed estimator in a goodness of fit test for normality and compare its performance with that of the sample entropy.

  • Haloxylon recurvum (Locally known as Khar) is drought and salt tolerant plant of Thar Desert. This plant is a major biomass producer and has economic and ecological importance for the region. There is need for study on biology, propagation and genetic improvement for utilization of this plant for reclamation of saline soils. We report here on in vitro propagation of Haloxylon recurvum (Moq.) using nodal explant. Secretion of phenolic compound from explants was a major constraint for establishment of culture. This was checked by thorough washing and quick transfer of explant on fresh culture medium. Juvenile nodal explant with leaves was found suitable for culture establishment. Benzy-ladenine($4.0\;{\mu}M$) incorporated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with additives (50 mg/L ascorbic acid and 25 mg/L each of adenine sulphate, arginine and citric acid) induced multiple shoots from nodal explant. Addition of $1.0\;{\mu}M$ naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in combination with $4.0\;{\mu}M$ BAP improved the growth of axillary shoots. Further shoot amplification was achieved by repeated subculture of mother explants on fresh medium. Forty percent of the micropropagated shoots rooted on half-strength MS medium with $4.0\;{\mu}M$ indolebutyric acid (IBA) and 100 mg/L activated charcoal, at $28{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and $60\%$ RH. Sixty percent of these plantlets were hardened in green house.

  • 소형 시험편 기술은 최소량의 재료를 사용하여 그 재료의 물리적인 거동을 특성화할 수 있기 때문에 산업설비로부터 많은 재료를 수집할 수 없는 경우에 유용한 방법이다. 본 연구에서 사용한 재료는 화력발전소 터빈로터 소재로 많이 사용되고 있는 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V강이었으며, $^630{\circ}C$에서 등온열화처리하여 5종류의 가속 열화 모사재를 만들었다. 충격시험에는 표준 시험편과 소형 시험편이 사용되었으며, 일부 소형 시험편에 소성 구속을 증가시키기 위해 측면흠을 만들어 넣었다. 표준 시험편과 소형 시험편의 충격특성을 비교하였으며 크기효과를 고찰하였고, 소형 시험편의 연성취성천이온도와 표준 시험편의 연성취성천이온도와의 상관관계를 만들었다. 따라서 소형 시험편의 충격시험결과로부터 표준 시험편의 충격특성을 추정하는 것이 가능하게 되었다.
