Functional and morphological characteristics of the exocrine pancreas in genetic model BB rat of insulin dependent diabetes medllitus(IDDM) were carried out. Wistar rat was used as control animal. Flow rate of pancreatic juice, output of amylase and protein, and plasma glucose and insulin levess were examined. Also light and ultrastructural characteristics of the exocrine pancreas were observed. Pancreatic flow rate, output of amylase and protein, and insulin level were lower;glucose level was higher comparing with those of the control Wistar rat. In Wistar rat, exocrine pancreas was typical light microscopically. Zymogen granules and cell organelles were well developed in fine structure. Cell size of the periinsular acini was larger, and number of zymogen granules were more than those of the teleinsular acini. Most acinar cells were dark cells which containe well-developed RER in their cytoplasm. On the other hand, some light cells which have the dilated RER cisterns were found. In BB rat exocrine pancreas, cell size of per-and tele-insular acini similar to that of Wistar rat. The number of light cells occupied 40-50% compairing with that of Wistar rat. Zymogen granules were lower in number than that of Wistar rat and divied into three types in morphological characteristics ; type I showing normal structure, type II showing the wide hallo and small electron dense core in center of the zymogen granule and type III not having the electron dense core in the zymogen granule. The present ratio of type I, type II and type III are less than 5%, 30-40% and more than 50%, respectively.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of hardware impairments (HWIs) on the performance of a downlink massive MIMO system. We consider a single-cell system with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) as precoding scheme, and with all the HWIs characteristics such as phase noise, distortion noise, and amplified thermal noise. Based on the system model, we derive closed-form expressions for a typical user data rate under two scenarios: when a common local oscillator (CLO) is used at the base station and when separated oscillators (SLOs) are used. We also derive closed-form expressions for the downlink transmit power required for some desired per-user data rate under each scenario. Compared to the conventional system with ideal transceiver hardware, our results show that impairments of hardware make a finite upper limit on the user's downlink channel capacity; and as the number of base station antennas grows large, it is only the hardware impairments at the users that mainly limit the capacity. Our results also show that SLOs configuration provides higher data rate than CLO at the price of higher power consumption. An approach to minimize the effect of the hardware impairments on the system performance is also proposed in the paper. In our approach, we show that by reducing the cell size, the effect of accumulated phase noise during channel estimation time is minimized and hence the user capacity is increased, and the downlink transmit power is decreased.

Structural studies of series of 'as spun' and drawn PEEK fibers have been carried out using X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy techniques. The analysis of results suggest that fibers produced at a constant draw ratio with increasing draw temperatures show enhanced orientation and crystalline behaviour. The resolved equatorial and meridional traces provide additional structural parameters in terms of crystallinity, crystallite size, and crystallite thickness. It is concluded that drawing at a temperature below $T_g(i.e.,\;144^{\circ}C)$ results in poorly oriented non-crystalline materials, whereas drawing above $T_g$ results in highly oriented semi crystalline materials. Additional drawing proved to increase the overall orientation with slight improvements in lateral order of the chain molecules. Quantitative analysis revealed that the crystallite size increases with increasing drawing temperature. The results also revealed the increased crystallite size upon additional drawing. Crystalline orientation parameter, $_c$, suggests almost perfect orientation. In all cases, the amorphous orientation is found to be lower than the overall orientation parameter obtained from the optical birefringence. As a result of additional drawing, crystalline orientation was found to increase slightly but the increase in the orientation of non-crystalline material was found to be substantial. An average crystalline density was determined from the orthorhombic unit cell dimensions. It was found to vary as a result of processing conditions. It was also found that the value of the maximum birefringence shows heavy dependence on the chain conformation.

In this study, changes in gene expression after administration of silk fibroin fragments ($size{\approx}30kDa$) were evaluated in MG63 cells using a cDNA microarray assay. In addition, the level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and cellular proliferation in the group administered moderately sized silk fibroin fragments ($size{\approx}30kDa$) (MSF) were compared to those in the group administered smaller silk fibroin fragments (size < 1 kDa) (SSF). The results of the cDNA microarray assay show increased expression of genes that are related to the cell cycle and inflammation. ALP, bone morphogenetic protein-7, bone morphogenetic protein receptor type IA, and runt-related transcription factor 2 exhibited significantly lower expression compared to control cells (fold ratio < 0.5). Relative ALP activity of the $100{\mu}g/mL$ MSF group was significantly lower than that of the SSF group (P < 0.05). Thus, the MSF group showed increased expression of genes associated with cellular proliferation and inflammation but decreased expression of genes associated with osteogenesis.

고온 무가습 조건에서 고분자 전해질 막의 수화성 및 수소이온 전도도 향상을 위해 sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) 전해질 고분자에 sulfated $ZrO_2$ ($s-ZrO_2$)를 함침시킨 유-무기 복합막을 제조하였다. X-ray diffraction를 통해 $s-ZrO_2$ 의 구조적 특징과 입자크기를 확인하였으며 추가적으로 FT-IR 분석을 통해, $s-ZrO_2$입자에 술폰산기가 화학적으로 결합되어 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 다양한 $s-ZrO_2$ 조성비를 가진 유-무기 복합막의 이점을 확인하기 위해서 이온교환능력, 함수율, 수소이온 전도도를 측정하였다. 실험결과, $s-ZrO_2$의 조성비를 달리한 유-무기 복합막의 수소이온 전도도는, 5 wt% $s-ZrO_2$를 함유한 유-무기 복합막의 경우에서, 상온 수화조건 뿐만 아니라 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상의 무가습 조건에서 매우 높은 수소 이온 전도도를 나타내었다. 특히 $120^{\circ}C$ 무가습 조건에서도 5 wt% $s-ZrO_2$를 함유한 유-무기 복합막이 $0.0018\;S\;cm^{-1}$의 매우 높은 전도도를 나타냄으로써 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서도 높은 수화도를 유지하는 유-무기 복합막의 제조가 가능하였다.

Metal foams have a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal containing a large volume fraction of pores. In particular, open, penetrating pores are necessary for industrial applications such as in high temperature filters and as a support for catalysts. In this study, Fe foam with above 90% porosity and 2 millimeter pore size was successfully fabricated by a slurry coating process and the pore properties were characterized. The Fe and $Fe_2O_3$ powder mixing ratios were controlled to produce Fe foams with different pore size and porosity. First, the slurry was prepared by uniform mixing with powders, distilled water and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA). After slurry coating on the polyurethane(PU) foam, the sample was dried at $80^{\circ}C$. The PVA and PU foams were then removed by heating at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The debinded samples were subsequently sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ with a holding time of 3 hours under hydrogen atmosphere. The three dimensional geometries of the obtained Fe foams with an open cell structure were investigated using X-ray micro CT(computed tomography) as well as the pore morphology, size and phase. The coated amount of slurry on the PU foam were increased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio but the shrinkage and porosity of Fe foams were decreased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio.

In particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation studies related to ion-ion two-stream instability, a reduced ion-to-electron mass ratio is often employed to save computation time. But it was not clearly verified how electrons dynamics are coupled with the slower evolution of ion-ion interactions under the external electric field. We have studied the ion beam driven instability using a 1D electrostatic PIC code by comparing different rescaling of parameter with real ion mass from the reference simulation with reduced ion mass. As the external electric field is stronger, the excited unstable mode range was more sensitively affected by the system size with the real mass ratio than the reduced ion mass. The results show that the reduced mass ratio should be used cautiously in PIC code as the electron dynamics can modify the ion instabilities. Additionally we found the formation of electron flat-top distribution in the final saturation stage. Simulation results show that in the early phase electrostatic solitary waves are quasi-periodically formed, but later they are fully dissipated resulting in heated, flat-top distributions. New electron beam components are occasionally formed. These are a consequence of the interaction with solitary wave structures. We parametrically investigate the development of electron phase space distributions for various drift speeds of ion beams and temperature ratios between ions and electrons

고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)와 가스터빈을 결합한 하이브리드 발전시스템에서 가스터빈의 규모별 성능차이가 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 해석하였다. 이를 위해 kW급, MW 이하급, 수 MW급 등 서로 다른 세 가지 가스터빈을 선정하여 사용하였다. 가스터빈이 순 출력을 거의 내지 못하는 kW급 시스템에서도 연료전지 단독 시스템과 비교해 효율이 증가하였으며, 가스터빈의 출력이 커질수록 (즉, 성능이 좋아질수록) 하이브리드 시스템에서 가스터빈이 차지하는 비중이 커지고 시스템의 효율이 높아짐을 확인하였다. 가스터빈의 압력비 증가에 따른 성능 변화를 살펴본 결과 세 가지 하이브리드 시스템에서 모두 출력은 증가하지만, 효율의 변화는 크지 않음을 확인하였다.

쌀가루의 압출성형 특성을 조사하기 위하여 원료의 수분합량과 입자크기를 달리하여 자가발열형 single screw extruder로 처리하고 이때 온도변화에 따른 extrudate의 물성학적인 성질을 비교하였다. 원료의 수분함량은 17%, 19%, 22%, 25%, 28%로 했고 입자크기는 18-60mesh와 60-120mesh의 두 범위로 했다. 내부흐름의 온도는 자동 온도기록계에 기록되게 하여 정상상태 가동이 될 때까지 경시적으로 시료를 채취하였다. 팽화율은 수분함량과 입자크기가 감소함에 따라 증가하였으며, bulk density는 팽화율과 역상관 관계를 나타내었다. Extrudate의 절단력은 수분함량이 적고 입자조기가 감소함에 따라 낮아졌으며 기공의 크기도 균일하였다. 색도는 수분함량과 입자크기가 증가함에 따라 명도는 증가하였고 황색도는 감소하였다. 겉보기 점도는 수분함량이 증가함에 따라 증가했고, 수용성 지수는 감소하였다. 원료의 수분이 감소함에 따라 일부의 전분은 호정화를 유발하는 것으로 판단되었다.
