As the supply of xEV in Korea is rapidly increasing, the amount of waste batteries is expected to increase rapidly, but the current recycling system for waste xEV batteries is very insufficient. In order to properly utilize the xEV reusable battery module, it is essential to classify it into a type that has similar discharge characteristics to the current state of health(SOH), which is the discharge capacity of the battery. This paper proposes a system that can minimize the exchange of energy with the KEPCO system by using the charging/discharging method by circulating power between batteries in order to minimize the power consumption when charging and discharging waste batteries. In the proposed system, a function to measure parameters during the charging/discharging test of the waste battery was implemented to build a customized big date for the test waste battery. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the proposed circuit were analyzed using PSIM, which is useful for power electronics analysis, and the validity of the proposed circuit was verified through experiments.

Vortex-induced vibrations are a type of flow-induced vibrations caused by alternating lift forces. With increasing demand for renewable energy, the application of vortex-induced vibrations to renewable energy has been widely studied. Vortex-induced vibrations for aquatic clean energy (VIVACE) converter is a renewable energy device that generates electricity from rivers or oceans using vortex-induced vibrations. To increase the design life and power harnessing capacity of the VIVACE converter, the estimation of fluid forces due to vortex-induced vibrations is essential. Herein, vortex-induced vibrations were experimentally tested, and their amplitude and frequency response were measured. The amplitude results showed four different branches: initial branch, upper branch, lower branch, and desynchronization range. According to the fluid force coefficient results, the maximum lift coefficient occurred at the upper branch. Additionally, a mathematical model is proposed to estimate fluid forces due to vortex-induced vibrations without using measurement devices. This mathematical model enables the estimation of fluid force coefficients and phase lag using amplitude and frequency response of vortex-induced vibrations.

Effects of ambient temperature on the ac electrical treeing and breakdown behaviors in an epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) were carried out in needle-plate electrode geometry. A layered silicate was exfoliated in an epoxy base resin,, using our ac electric field apparatus. To measure the treeing initiation and propagation, and the breakdown rate, constant alternating current (ac) of 10 kV (60 Hz) was applied to the specimen in a needle-plate electrode arrangement, at $30^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$ or $130^{\circ}C$ of insulating oil bath. At $30^{\circ}C$, the treeing initiation time and the breakdown time in the epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) system were 1.4 times higher than those of the neat epoxy resin. At $90^{\circ}C$ (lower than Tg), electrical treeing was initiated in 55 min, and propagated until 1,390 min at the speed of $0.35{\times}10^{-3}mm/min$, which was 4.4 times higher than that at $30^{\circ}C$; however, there was almost no further treeing propagation after 1,390 min. At $130^{\circ}C$ (higher than Tg), electrical treeing was initiated in 44 min, and propagated until 2,000 min at the speed of $0.96{\times}10^{-3}mm/min$. Typical branch type electrical treeing was obtained from the neat epoxy and epoxy/layered silicate at $30^{\circ}C$, while bush type treeing was observed out from the needle tip at $90^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$.

The structures of the egg envelope in fertilized eggs of three species of characidae, head and tail light fish (Hemigrammus ocellifer), black tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), and buenos aires tetra (Hemigrammus caudovittatus) were studied using light and electron microscopes. The fertilized eggs in all species were colorless, transparent, spherical and non-floted type. The egg envelopes have a single micropyle resembling the pathway of sperm in the area of the animal pole. The micropyle was surrounded by protruded lines of the egg envelope in a radiated form. Egg envelopes of fertilized eggs in both head and tail light fish and buenos aires tetra consisted of three distinct layers; an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer. And that of blacktetra consisted of two layers; an outer layer and an inner layer. Also, an outer layers of both head and tail light fish and black tetra were adhesive types but, in that of buenous aires tetra was non-adhesive type. An outer surface of egg envelope in black tetra was arranged by pores regularly. In that of head and tail light fish and buenos aires tetra have a rough side. An inner layer of egg envelope in fertilized eggs consisted of lamellae alternating with interlamellae of lower electron density; an inner layer of fertilized eggs in head and tail light fish consisted of three layers, that of black tetra was four layers, and that of buenos aires tetra was five layers.

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is designed to provide a high quality data service for fast moving mobile users. It is based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and relies its channel estimation on the training samples which are systematically built within the transmitting data. Either a preamble or a lattice type is used for the distribution of training samples and the latter suits better for the multipath fading channel environment whose channel frequency response (CFR) fluctuates rapidly with time. In the lattice-type structure, the estimation of the CFR makes use of the least squares estimate (LSE) for each pilot samples, followed by an interpolation both in time-and in frequency-domain to fill up the channel estimates for subcarriers corresponding to data samples. All interpolation schemes should rely on the pilot estimates only, and thus, their performances are bounded by the quality of pilot estimates. However, the additive noise give rise to high fluctuation on the pilot estimates, especially in a communication environment with low signal-to-noise ratio. These high fluctuations could be monitored in the alternating high values of the first forward differences (FFD) between pilot estimates. In this paper, we analyzed statistically those FFD values and propose a postprocessing algorithm to suppress high fluctuations in the noisy pilot estimates. The proposed method is based on a localized adaptive moving-average filtering. The performance of the proposed technique is verified on a multipath environment suggested on a 3GPP LTE specification. It is shown that the mean-squared error (MSE) between the actual CFR and pilot estimates could be reduced up to 68% from the noisy pilot estimates.

Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was conducted to obtain the gene encoding glucose oxidase(GOD) from Aspergillus niger(ATCC 2110) and the DNA sequence determined was coincided with published GOD sequence from A. niger. Recombinant transforming vector containing GOD and hygromycin B(hyg.B) resistant gene(hph) was constructed and used for further transformation of A. niger ATCC 2110. Selectivity of hyg.B against A. niger differed depending on which media were used i.e., nutrient-rich media such as potato dextrose agar(PDA) and complete medium(CM) showed only 50% growth inhibition at 400 $\mu$m ml$^-1$ of hyg.B while the minimal media inhibited mycelial growth completely at 200 $\mu$m ml$^-1$ of hyg.B. Twenty to sixty putative transformants were isolated from the hyg.B-containing minimal top agar, transferred successively onto alternating selective and nonselective media for a mitotic stability of hyg.B resistance and, then, single-spored. Among the stable transformants, the transformant(GOD1-6) grown by flask culture showed the considerable increase of extracellular GOD activity, which was estimated to the degree of 50% - 100% comparing to that of wild type. Transformation of tGOD1-6 was resulted from integration of the vectors into heterologous as well as homologous regions of the A. niger genome. Southern blot analysis revealed that there were two independent integrations of vector into fungal genome and one into the GOD gene due to homologous recombination. In addition, GOD activity and sodium gluconate production when tGOD1-6 was fed-batch fermented were enhanced 11 fold and 2.25 fold, respectively, compared to that of the wild type.

A new donor-accepter-donor-accepter-donor (D-A-D-A-D) type 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-thiophene-based acceptor unit 2,5-di(4-(5-bromo-4-octylthiophen-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-7-yl)thiophene ($DTBTTBr_2$) was synthesized. Copolymerized with fluorene and indeno[1,2-b]fluorene electron-rich moieties, two alternating narrow band gap (NBG) copolymers PF-DTBTT and PIF-DTBTT were prepared. And two copolymers exhibit broad and strong absorption in the range of 300-700 nm with optical band gap of about 1.75 eV. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels vary between -5.43 and -5.52 eV and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels range from -3.64 to -3.77 eV. Potential applications of the copolymers as electron donor material and $PC_{71}BM$ ([6,6]-phenyl-$C_{71}$ butyric acid methyl ester) as electron acceptors were investigated for photovoltaic solar cells (PSCs). Photovoltaic performances based on the blend of PF-DTBTT/$PC_{71}BM$ (w:w; 1:2) and PIF-DTBTT/$PC_{71}BM$ (w:w; 1:2) with devices configuration as ITO/PEDOT: PSS/blend/Ca/Al, show an incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 2.34% and 2.56% with the open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 0.87 V and 0.90 V, short circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) of $6.02mA/cm^2$ and $6.12mA/cm^2$ under an AM1.5 simulator ($100mA/cm^2$). The photocurrent responses exhibit the onset wavelength extending up to 720 nm. These results indicate that the resulted narrow band gap copolymers are viable electron donor materials for polymer solar cells.

Silicon dioxide thin films were deposited on p-type Si (100) substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method using alternating exposures of $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ and $O_3$ at $300^{\circ}C$. $O_3$ was generated by corona discharge inside the delivery line of $O_2$. The oxide film was deposited mainly from $O_3$ not from $O_2$, because the deposited film was not observed without corona discharge under the same process conditions. The growth rate of the deposited films increased linearly with increasing the exposures of $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ and $O_3$ simultaneously, and was saturated at approximately 0.35 nm/cycle with the reactant exposures over $3.6 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$ /L. At a fixed $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ exposure of $1.2 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$L, growth rate increased with $O_3$ exposure and was saturated at approximately 0.28 nm/cycle with $O_3$ exposures over$ 2.4 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$ L. The composition of the deposited film also varied with the exposure of $O_3$. The [O]/[Si] ratio gradually increased up to 2 with increasing the exposure of $O_3$. Finally, the characteristics of ALD films were compared with those of the silicon oxide films deposited by conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The silicon oxide film prepared by ALD at $300^{\circ}C$ showed better stoichiometry and wet etch rate than those of the silicon oxide films deposited by low-pressure CVD (LPCVD) and atmospheric-pressure CVD (APCVD) at the deposition temperatures ranging from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$.

Heterophyes necens의 표피 미세구조를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 충체는 실험 감염시킨 고양이에서 얻은 성충과 인체 자연감염자에서 회수한 성충을 재료로 하였다. 충체는 나뭇잎 모양이며 복측으로 약간 굽어 있었고, 유원형 또는 서양배 모양이며 전반부는 등글고 후반부로 갈수록 충체의 폭이 차츰 감소하였다. 구흡반 주위에는 짧은 섬모가 있는 제 I형 감각유두가 4∼5개씩 모인 군집 감각유두가 관찰되었으며 그 사이 사이에 단일 감각유두가 분포하였다. 구흡반 외연 및 직후방에는 5∼9개의 분지를 가진 피극이, 구흡반과 복흡반 사이에는 12∼17개의 분지를 가진 피극이 분포하였다 복흡반의 구순에는 표피가 둥글게 융기한 제 II형 감각유두가 7∼8 개 일정 간격으로 위치하였다. 구흡반과 복흡반 사이에는 우측과 좌측에 각각 5개 및 6개의 감각유두로 구성된 군집 감각유두가 3개군씩 대칭적으로 배열되어 있었고 그 사이에 단일 감각유두가 분포하였다. 고양이에서 회수한 성충의 생식반은 흔히 함몰되거나 약간만 돌출되어 있어 gonotyl spine을 관찰하기 어려웠으나, 환자에서 얻은 성충은 대부분의 경우 생식반이 충체 바깥으로 돌출되어 있었고, gonotyl spine의 수는50∼60개이었다. 복흡반 외측 및 후방에는 8∼12개의 분지를 가진 피극이 각각 관찰되었으며, 충체의 후반부로 갈수록 피극의 분지 수가 점차 감소하여 후단에서는 1∼3개의 분지를 가진 피극이 관찰되었고 피극의 밀도도 점차 낮아지는 양상을 띠었다. 충체 배측에는 4∼5개의 감각유두가 모인 군집 감각유두 4쌍이 좌우 대칭적으로 배열되어 있었다. 충체 배측의 점반부에는 15∼20개의 분지를 가진 피극이 분포하였고 후반부로 갈수록 분지 양상이 감소하여 배측 후 단에서는 8~12개의 분지를 가진 피극이 관찰되었다. 또, 후반부로 갈수록 피극의 밀도가 점차 낮아지는 양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 대. nocens 성충의 표피 미세구조는 다른 이형흡충류의 경우와 비슷하나 생식반 외연에 분포하는 gonotyl Spine의 수가 50∼60개인 점, 전 표피에서 관찰되는 피극 및 감각유두의 특이한 분포 등은 H. nocens의 특징적 소견이라고 생각되었다.
