The effect of extraction methods, such as reflux extraction (RE), autoclave extraction (AE), low temperature high pressure extraction (LTPE) and ultrasonification extraction (USE) on antioxidant activity of various species of Artemisia (Artemisia capillaris T., Artemisia princeps P., Artemisia annua L.) was investigated. The extraction yield of RE and AE was higher than other methods tested for all Artemisia. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content of Artemisia sp. extracts from RE was highest of the extraction methods tested. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content of A. capillaris T. extracted by RE was 260.82 mg GAE/g and 11.52 mg RHE/g, respectively. The A. capillaris T. extract showed higher DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity than that of the other tested Artemisia sp. Nitrite scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of various extracts from RE was 45.48% and 68.29% (A. capillaris T.), 45.73% and 61.43% (A. princeps P.), and 44.25% and 58.19% (A. annua L.), respectively. The RE method was the most effective method for extracting antioxidant substances from various A. capillaris T. compared with AE, LTPE and USE. These results suggest that extracts of Artemisia sp. from RE can be used as bioactive and functional materials in the food industry.

A thermal power plant has a heat exchanger tube to collect and convert the heat generated from the high temperature and pressure steam to energy, but the tubes are arranged in a complex manner. In the event that a leakage occurs in any of these tubes, the high-pressure steam leaks out and may cause the neighboring tubes to rupture. This leakage can finally stop power generation, and hence there is a dire need to establish a suitable technology capable of detecting tube leaks at an early stage even before it occurs. As shown in this paper, by applying acoustic emission (AE) technology in existing boiler tube leak detection equipment (BTLD), we developed a system that detects these leakages early enough and generates an alarm at an early stage to necessitate action; the developed system works better that the existing system used to detect fine leakages. We verified the usability of the system in a 560MW-class thermal power plant boiler by conducting leak tests by simulating leakages from a variety of hole sizes (ⵁ2, ⵁ5, ⵁ10 mm). Results show that while the existing fine leakage detection system does not detect fine leakages of ⵁ2 mm and ⵁ5 mm, the newly developed system could detect leakages early enough and generate an alarm at an early stage, and it is possible to increase the signal to more than 18 dB.

This study investigates acoustic emission (AE) and micro-deformation characteristics of circular openings through biaxial compression experiments. The experimental results showed a significant increase in the frequency, count, energy, and amplitude of AE signals immediately before damage occurred in the circular opening. The differences in frequency and count between before and after damage initiation were significantly pronounced, indicating suitable factors for identifying damage occurrence in circular openings. The results for digital image correlation (DIC) technique revealed that micro-deformation was concentrated around the openings, as evidenced by the spatial distribution of strain. In addition, spalling was observed at the end of the experiments. The AE and micro-deformation characteristics presented in this study are expected to serve as fundamental data for evaluating the stability of underground openings and boreholes for deep subsurface projects.

To cope with the Internet host mobility in a cellular network environment, we propose an adaptive mobility management scheme that can compensate drawbacks of Mobile IP. We also propose protocol that supports the proposed scheme. Our proposed scheme determines foreign agent care-of addresses adaptively according to user mobility. Consequently, it is different from other proposals for micro mobility, which statically assign the gateway in the domain as a foreign agent. Using such a scheme, it is possible to effectively meet the users demands for different service qualities in the various environments considered in the cellular network and to reduce signaling overhead due to frequent handovers occurred in Mobile IP. The performance of the proposed scheme is examined by simulation. The results of simulation show that the proposed scheme can provide relatively stable points of attachment to the mobile node.

국내 농업인구 감소 대비 식품소비량이 증가함에 따라 농가의 인력을 대체하고 다양한 작업이 가능하며 가격이 저렴한 국내 기계화 기술이 필요하다. 무동력 디스크해로우 작업기는 경운과 배토가 가능한 복합작업기로서 작업기를 구성하는 주요 구성품들은 필드작업에 의해 발생되는 하중에 구조적 강도와 신뢰성이 충분히 확보되어야 한다. 또한, 실제로 필드 작업 시 작업기에 걸리는 하중은 복합하중 형태로 전달되기 때문에 단순한 형태 하중에 비해 하중계측에 어려운 점이 있으므로 하중계측점의 선정이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 하중계측점을 선정하기 위하여 복합기의 주요 구성품인 치즐(chisel) 및 디스크해로우암(disk harrow arm)에 대하여 구조해석을 수행하였으며, 3축 방향의 단위하중 응력 계산결과로부터 load reconstruction을 위한 스트레인 게이지 위치를 선정하였다. 또한, 스트레인 게이지의 신호가 하중해석에 적절한 값이 되도록 기존의 형상을 수정하였다.

이 논문에서는 육상교통 환경에서 GPS 가시 위성의 수가 부족할 경우 사용자 위치 결정 성능 향상을 위해 시각도움정보를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. GPS를 이용하여 정확한 위치를 구하기 위해서는 위성으로부터 송출된 신호가 수신기까지 도달하는데 걸린 시간을 정확히 구하는 것이 가장 중요한다. 이를 위하여 위성과 수신기 간의 시각이 정확히 동기가 되어야 하지만 대부분 저가 발진기를 사용하는 수신기의 측정치에는 수신기 시계오차가 포함되어 있다. GPS 측정치로부터 정확한 위치결정을 위해서는 수신기 시계 오차가 고려되어야 하기에 최소 4개의 위성이 필요하지만 건물, 차량, 나무 등의 장애물의 영향을 받는 육상교통 환경에서는 4개 미만의 위성이 관측되는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이러한 경우 정상적인 방법으로 수신기 시계오차가 계산되지 않아 위치 결정 성능이 떨어지게 되므로, 시각도움정보를 활용하여 위치 결정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 시각도움정보는 가시 위성이 4개 이상의 경우 결정된 수신기 시계오차를 수신기 시계 고정법을 적용하여 생성하였다. 가시 위성수가 3개로 결정된 위치 결과와 시각도움정보를 적용하여 결정된 위치와의 비교를 통해 위치 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives : We investigated whether the components of Ailanthus altissima induced apoptotic cell death in Jurkat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Methods : Regulation of cell proliferation is a complex process involving the regulated expression and/or modification of discrete gene products, which control transition between different stages of the cell cycle. Results : Upon treatments with Ailanthus altissima, the concentration-dependent inhibitions of cell viability were observed as compared to untreated control group. The capability of Ailanthus altissima to induce apoptosis was associated with proteolytic cleavage of specific target proteins such as poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) and beta-catenin proteins suggesting the possible involvement of caspases. Ailanthus altissima also caused apoptosis as measured by cell morphology and DNA fragmentation. Conclusions : These results indicate that the increase of apoptotic cell death by Ailanthus altissima may be due to the inhibition of cell cycle in human Jurkat lymphocytes. Conclusively, these current and further findings will provide novel approaches to understanding and treating major diseases.

In this work, analytical performance of a laboratory built double membrane desolvator (DMD) was studies using perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) nebulizer and microconcentirc nebulizer (MCN) in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Compared with MCN, PFA nebulizer coupled to DMD showed similar analytical sensitivity for aqueous solution and better sensitivity for isopropyl alcohol. Since PFA resisted various acids, HCI, $H_2SO_4$ and HF solution were analyzed with less than 2% RSD. Rinse-out time for the signal reduction to 1% was obtained to be 35 s for PFA but about 45 s for MCN.

An acoustic emission technique is applied to the tensile tests of the plastic specimen under the different test speeds and the structural integrity evaluation of the plastic shell structure. Several AE characteristics are acquired from the tensile tests and they are proven to be useful parameters in evaluating its structural integrity. The results shows that tensile strength has almost constant value over some higher speed region while revealing some increasing tendency in strength as the test speeds up in lower speed region. The crack initiation loads and locations are accurately evaluated during the static compression testing of the plastic shell structures by using acoustic emission technique.

DWDM(DensedWavelengthDivisionMultiplexing)은 광 파이버를 이용하여 기존의 통신보다 높은 대역폭(B/W)을 얻기 위한 기술로 여러 신호를 각각 다른 파장으로 변조해 하나의 Fiber 를 통해 전송하는 방식이며, 기본적으로 EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier), AWG(Arrayed Wave guide Grating), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) 등의 주요 부품과 여러 광 관련 부품들로 구성돼 있으며, 다수의 파장을 MUX(AWG)에서 다중화하고, 장거리 전송을 위해 OA(EDFA)에서 광신호를 증폭하게 된다 그리고 일부 특정 파장만 Add/Drop하기 위해 OADM이 놓이게 되며, 또한 선로(광섬유)의 손실을 보상하기 위해 필요한 구간에 리피터(EDFA)를 두어 광신호를 증폭 송신하며 수신단에서는 들어오는 여러 파장을 OA(EDFA)를 통해 증폭한 후 DEMUX(AWG)에서 역 다중화해 수신하게 된다. 이와 같은 DWDM방식을 이용한 Network는 Star, Mesh, Ring 등의 다양한 형태로 구성될 수 있으며, 초기에는 Point-to-Point 방식의 장거리 전송에 주로 사용돼 왔으나 Metro 구간의 Traffic 이 급격히 증가하면서 Metro- DWDM Network 이 부각되고 있어 본 논문에서는 현재 SK Telecom에서 상용화되고 있는 1,600G DWDM과 Metro-DWDM간의 망 구축의 최적화 방안을 연구해 본다.
