  • This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

  • 연안 충적층 지역은 토양침식, 지반침하 등 지질 재해와 태풍, 홍수 해양 재해에 노출되어 인명 또는 재산 피해의 위험에 취약하다. 지반 침하는 지표 물질이 지하로 이동하면서 지반의 점진적인 또는 급격한 침강이 발생하는 현상으로 지속적인 감시가 요구된다. 영상레이더 위상간섭기법 (Radar Interferometry)은 마이크로파 영역에서 관측된 위상정보를 이용하여 지형 변위를 정밀하게 관측할 수 있는 기술이다. Small BAseline Subset(SBAS) 기법은 최소 20장 이상의 영상레이더 자료를 사용하여 대상 지역에 대한 시계열 지표 변위를 정밀하게 분석할 수 있어 지반침하 감시에 유용하다. X- 또는 C-밴드에 비해 장파장인 L-밴드 영상레이더 자료는 긴밀도 유지에 보다 유리하여 지구과학용으로 적합하다. 하지만 L-밴드 ALOS-2 PALSAR-2은 전지구 관측 프로그램을 운영하고 있어 시계열 분석을 하기에 영상 획득이 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 관심 지역인 부산의 경우, Stripmap 영상은 11장으로서 SBAS 시계열 분석 기법을 적용하기에는 부족한 촬영 수이다. 일반적으로 동일한 모드의 영상 간 위상간섭기법의 적용이 가능하지만, 비슷한 관측 기하에서 관측한 Stripmap과 ScanSAR 영상을 이용한 위상간섭기법의 적용이 성공적으로 수행된 바 있다. 해당 지역의 ScanSAR 영상은 18장으로 Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법을 적용하면 SBAS 기법을 이용한 향상된 시계열 분석이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Gamma 소프트웨어를 이용하여 ALOS-2 PALSAR-2로부터 획득된 L-band 영상 자료에 대한 위상간섭기법 적용 가능여부를 평가하였다. Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법 적용을 위해 이종 모드 관측 영상 사이의 chirp bandwidth와 pulse repetition frequency (PRF)의 차이를 고려한 영상레이더 자료 처리를 수행하였으며, radar carrier frequency의 차이 보정과 common band filtering 적용 여부에 따라 발생하는 위상간섭도의 품질을 분석하였다. Radar carrier frequency 차이 보정에 따른 위상간섭도의 긴밀도 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았으나, common band filtering으로 인해, 위상간섭도에서 azimuth 방향으로 주기적인 잡음과 전체적인 긴밀도 저하가 발생하였다. 따라서 Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법을 적용하는 경우 두 관측 모드의 range와 azimuth 방향의 밴드 폭의 특성에 따라 주의 깊은 자료 처리가 요구된다.

  • This paper determined students' ranks of difficulty on the use of materials in terms of 1) understanding the layout of the learning materials, 2) reading comprehension of the learning materials, and 3) realization on relevance to needs of the learning materials. It also determined students' 4) rank and frequency of attitude on the materials. With the data gathered through 128 survey questionnaires, 7 focused group discussions, and 10 interviews, the results were found out that there was an inappropriate assessment procedure set by this particular university. The researcher concludes that: 1) design of four types of classes by just using the two textbooks with their respective workbooks is grammar-based with limited conversation activities; 2) placement for these students in one big class size was implemented without considering their common interest and motivation and language levels; and, 3) qualification of teachers teaching these EFL students did not support students' real needs and the language program itself. Content professors who were made to teach may have the ability to input learning, but their teaching styles may differ from the ones who are real English teachers. This paper then recommends that teachers and school administration should have an appropriate placement exam before students attend the class, especially in a big class size. There could only be a few problems among students in one big class size when students' level of competence is proportioned. With this, topics and conversation activities can even be more flexible with the maneuver of art of questioning, various dimensions of thinking, strategic competence, learning attitude or behavior, etc. to ensure sustenance of communicative mode and level of interest and motivation in the classroom. Grammar-based instruction can only be taught when a need arises. Thus, the course description of each class will be able to transact the objectives ready for developing students' communication competence. Moreover, proper measurement can be utilized to validly assess the amount of students' learning and the progress of language curriculum design in terms of materials selection and teaching approach.

  • In large-scale computing, cloud computing plays an important role by sharing globally-distributed resources. The evolution of cloud has taken place in the development of data centers and numerous servers across the globe. But the cloud information centers incur huge operational costs, consume high electricity and emit tons of dioxides. It is possible for the cloud suppliers to leverage their resources and decrease the consumption of energy through various methods such as dynamic consolidation of Virtual Machines (VMs), by keeping idle nodes in sleep mode and mistreatment of live migration. But the performance may get affected in case of harsh consolidation of VMs. So, it is a desired trait to have associate degree energy-performance exchange without compromising the quality of service while at the same time reducing the power consumption. This research article details a number of novel algorithms that dynamically consolidate the VMs in cloud information centers. The primary objective of the study is to leverage the computing resources to its best and reduce the energy consumption way behind the Service Level Agreement (SLA)drawbacks relevant to CPU load, RAM capacity and information measure. The proposed VM consolidation Algorithm (PVMCA) is contained of four algorithms: over loaded host detection algorithm, VM selection algorithm, VM placement algorithm, and under loading host detection algorithm. PVMCA is dynamic because it uses dynamic thresholds instead of static thresholds values, which makes it suggestion for real, unpredictable workloads common in cloud data centers. Also, the Algorithms are adaptive because it inevitably adjusts its behavior based on the studies of historical data of host resource utilization for any application with diverse workload patterns. Finally, the proposed algorithm is online because the algorithms are achieved run time and make an action in response to each request. The proposed algorithms' efficiency was validated through different simulations of extensive nature. The output analysis depicts the projected algorithms scaled back the energy consumption up to some considerable level besides ensuring proper SLA. On the basis of the project algorithms, the energy consumption got reduced by 22% while there was an improvement observed in SLA up to 80% compared to other benchmark algorithms.

  • Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide. Cancer development and progression require inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and activation of proto-oncogenes. The well recognized mechanism of action demonstrated for chemotherapeutic agents is induction of apoptosis via reactivation of p53. In this context, we evaluate the efficacy of IV and oral routes of our novel PH and temperature sensitive doxorubicin-methotrexate-loaded nanoparticles (DOX-MTX NP) in affecting p53 profile in an OSCC rat model. Methods: In this study, 120 male rats were divided into 8 groups of 15 animals each. The new formulated DOX-MTX NP and free doxorubicin were IV and orally given to rats with 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide induced OSCC. Results: Results showed that both DOX and DOX-MTX-NP caused significant increase in mRNA levels of P53 compared to the untreated group (p<0.000). With both DOX and DOX-MTX NP, the IV mode was more effective than the oral (gavage) route (p<0.000). Surprisingly, in oral mode, p53 mRNA was not affected in DOX treated groups (p>0.05), Nonetheless, both IV and oral administration of MTX-DOX NP showed superior activity (~3 fold) over free DOX in reactivation of p53 in OSCC (p<0.000). The effectiveness of oral route in group treated with nanodrug accounts for the enhanced bioavailability of nanoparticulated DOX-MTX compared to free DOX. Moreover, in treated groups, tumor stage was markedly related to the amount of p53 mRNA (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both oral and IV application of our novel nanodrug possesses superior activity over free DOX-in up-regulation of p53 in a OSCC model and this increase in p53 level associated with less aggressive tumors in our study. Although, impressive results obtained with IV form of nanodrug (-21 fold increase in p53 mRNA level) but both forms of nanodrug are effective in OSCC, with less toxicity normal cells.

  • 연구배경: 압력보조는 환자의 흡기시 정해진 양의 양압을 보조하여 상시호흡량을 증가시키거나, 호흡일을 경감시키는 목적으로 쓰이는 기계환기법으로 본 연구는 자발적 호흡이 허용되는 SIMV 및 CPAP 양식에서 PS를 사용할 경우 환자의 호흡역학상 어떤 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 중환자실에 입원하여 호흡부전으로 기계환기중인 환자로 임상적으로 안정되었고 자발적 호흡횟수가 분당 12회 이상인 환자 14명을 대상으로, 먼저 CPAP(3 cm $H_2O$) 양식하에서 0, 5, 10 및 15 cm $H_2O$의 PS를 순서대로 적용하면서 CP-100 pulmonary monitor(Bicore, USA)를 이용하여 호흡역학 지수들을 측정하고 이어서 SIMV 양식으로 바꾸어 같은 방법으로 호흡역학 지수들을 측정하였다. 결과: 1) CPAP 및 SIMV 방식하에서 PS가 호흡역학에 미친 공통된 효과 CPAP 양식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 상시호흡량은 증가하였고, WOB과 PTP는 감소하였다. SIMV 방식하에서도 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 상시호흡량은 증가하였고, WOB과 PTP 역시 유의하게 감소하였다. 2) CPAP 및 SIMV 방식하에서 PS가 호흡역학에 미치는 효과의 차이 CPAP 방식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 분당호흡수는 유의한 변동이 없었고, $P_{0.1}$$T_1/T_{TOT}$은 유의하게 감소되었다. SIMV 방식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 분당호흡수는 유의하게 감소한 반면, $P_{0.1}$$T_1/T_{TOT}$은 유의한 변동이 없었다. 3) CPAP+PS 양식에서 SIMV 단독양식에서와 같은 상시호흡량을 얻는 상태에서의 호흡역학의 비교 동일 환자에서 CPAP+PS 양식으로 SIMV 단독양식에서의 상시호흡량이 얻어지는 상태에서 분당호흡수 WOB, $P_{0.1}$ 등에는 양 방식 간에 차이가 없었으나 PTP와 $T_1/T_{TOT}$은 CPAP+PS 양식이 유의하게 낮았다. 결론: 기계호흡에서 압력보조의 사용은 CPAP 및 SIMV 양식 모두에서 상시호흡량을 증가시키고, 환자의 호흡일, 호흡근 산소소모량 지수를 감소시켰으며, 분당호흡수의 감소는 SIMV 방식에서만 관찰되었고, 중추성호흡추진력의 감소와 호흡근의 지구력지수의 호전은 CPAP 방식에서만 관찰되었다. 한편 상시호흡량이 같은 수준에서의 CPAP+ PS 방법은 SIMV 법에 비해 호흡근의 일효율이 더 높고 호흡근의 지구력지수가 더 우수하였다. 따라서, 기계적환기 유지기나 이탈과정의 환자에서 압력보조의 겸용은 환자의 호흡역학 상태를 개선하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Glucose is a common medical analyte measuring in human serum or blood samples. The development of a primary method is necessary for the establishment of traceability in measurements. We have developed an isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry as a primary method for the measurement of glucose in human serum. Glucose and glucose-$^{13}C_6$ in sample were ionized in ESI negative mode and monitored at mass transfers of m/z 179/89 and 185/92 in MRM, respectively. Glucose was separated on $NH_2P$-50 2D column, and the mobile phase was 20 mM $NH_4OAc$ in 30% acetonitrile/70% water. Verification of this method was performed by the comparison with NIST SRMs. Our results agreed well with the SRM values. We have developed two levels of glucose serum certified reference material using this method and distributed them to the clinical laboratories in Korea as samples for proficiency testings. The expended uncertainty was about 1.2% on 95% confidence level. In proficiency testings, the results obtained from the clinical laboratories showed about 3.6% and 3.9% RSD to the certified values. Primary method can provide the traceability to the field laboratories through proficiency testings or certified reference materials.

  • 모델링 시뮬레이션 그리고 센서 장비 기술의 지속적인 발전으로 최근에 매우 높은 해상도를 갖는 방대한 크기의 볼륨 데이타들이 일반화되고 있다. 과학적 가시화 분야에서, 이러한 데이타를 고성능 병렬 컴퓨터를 사용하여 효과적으로 가시화하기 위한 다양한 대화식 실시간 기법들이 제안되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 클라이언트, 게이트웨이, 병렬 렌더링 서버로 구성되는 모바일 볼륨 가시화 시스템의 개발에 관해 설명한다. 모바일 클라이언트는 병렬 렌더링 서버에게 전달할 렌더링 / 뷰잉 파라미터를 설정할 수 있는 기능뿐만 아니라, 관심이 있는 특정 영역을 점진적으로 높은 해상도의 영상을 이용해 탐색할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 게이트웨이는 안정적인 서비스를 위해 모바일 클라이언트와 병렬 렌더링 서버 사이에서 주고받는 요청과 응답을 관리하는 역할을 한다. 병렬 렌더링 서버는 클라이언트로부터 전달받은 렌더링 컨텍스트를 이용하여 정의된 특정 부분 볼륨을 가시화하고, 고해상도의 최종 영상을 클라이언트에게 되돌려 주는 작업을 수행한다. 제안된 시스템은 PDA를 갖고 있는 여러 사용자가 협력작업(CSCW) 모드를 통해 동시에 볼륨 데이타 가운데 공통으로 관심을 갖는 특정 부분, 렌더링 컨텍스트, 그리고 최종 영상을 공유할 수 있도록 설계되었다.

  • Light-frame wood structures have the ability to carry gravity loads. However, their performance during severe wind storms has indicated weakness with respect to resisting uplift wind loads exerted on the roofs of residential houses. A common failure mode observed during almost all main hurricane events initiates at the roof-to-wall connections (RTWCs). The toe-nail connections typically used at these locations are weak with regard to resisting uplift loading. This issue has been investigated at the Insurance Research Lab for Better Homes, where full-scale testing was conducted of a house under appropriate simulated uplift wind loads. This paper describes the detailed and sophisticated numerical simulation performed for this full-scale test, following which the numerical predictions were compared with the experimental results. In the numerical model, the nonlinear behavior is concentrated at the RTWCs, which is simulated with the use of a multi-linear plastic element. The analysis was conducted on four sets of uplift loads applied during the physical testing: 30 m/sincreased by 5 m/sincrements to 45 m/s. At this level of uplift loading, the connections exhibited inelastic behavior. A comparison with the experimental results revealed the ability of the sophisticated numerical model to predict the nonlinear response of the roof under wind uplift loads that vary both in time and space. A further component of the study was an evaluation of the load sharing among the trusses under realistic, uniform, and code pressures. Both the numerical model and the tributary area method were used for the load-sharing calculations.
