Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to play major roles during the induction of T cell immune responses as well as the maintenance of T cell tolerance. Naive CD4⁺ T cells have been shown to respond with high plasticity to signals inducing their polarization into effector/helper or regulatory T cells. Data obtained from in vitro generated bone-marrow (BM)-derived DCs as well as genetic mouse models revealed an important but not exclusive role of DCs in shaping CD4⁺ T cell responses. Besides the specialization of some conventional DC subsets for the induction of polarized immunity, also the maturation stage, activation of specialized transcription factors and the cytokine production of DCs have major impact on CD4⁺ T cells. Since in vitro generated BM-DCs show a high diversity to shape CD4⁺ T cells and their high similarity to monocyte-derived DCs in vivo, this review reports data mainly on BM-DCs in this process and only touches the roles of transcription factors or of DC subsets, which have been discussed elsewhere. Here, recent findings on 1) the conversion of naive into anergic and further into Foxp3^- regulatory T cells (Treg) by immature DCs, 2) the role of RelB in steady state migratory DCs (ssmDCs) for conversion of naive T cells into Foxp3⁺ Treg, 3) the DC maturation signature for polarized Th2 cell induction and 4) the DC source of IL-12 for Th1 induction are discussed.

리튬나이오베이트 기판의 분극 반전 기술을 이용하여 5.5 GHz대역의 SSB(Single Sideband) 광변조기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 분극 반전을 통해 광이 인가받는 유효전계가 마흐젠더 두 도파로에서 $90^{\circ}$ 위상차를 갖도록 할 수 있었다. 제작된 광변조기는 5.8 GHz의 중심주파수로, 1.9 V DC 인가 시 약 33 dB의 USB 억제율을, -10.6 V 인가 시 약 25 dB의 LSB 억제율을 나타내었다. 또한 2.5 GHz의 대역폭에서 15 dB 이하의 Sideband 억제율을 보이고 있다.

Al is a active metal that owes its resistance to a thin, protective, barrier oxide surface layer, which is stable in air and neutral aqueous solution. Thus Al alloys are widely used in architectural trim. cold & hot-water storage vessels and piping. However Al and most of its alloy may corrode with some forms such as pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and galvanic corrosion in the case of exposure to various industrial and marine atmosphere. Therefore a correct evaluation of corrosion resistance for their Al and Al alloys may be more important in a economical point of view. In this study. a relative evaluation of corrosion resistance for three kinds of Al alloys such as ALDC2, ALDC3, and ALDC8 series was carried out with electrochemical method. There is a tendency that corrosion potential is shifted to positive or negative direction by alloying components regardless of corrosion resistance. Moreover the data of corrosion properties obtained from cathodic Polarization curve, cyclic voltammogram and AC. DC impedance respectively showed a good correspondence each other against the corrosion resistance but variation of corrosion potential. passivity current density of anodic polarization curve and corrosion current density by Tafel extrapolation and Stern-Geary method didn't correspond with not only each other but also considerably the data of corrosion properties discussed above. Therefore it is suggested that an optimum electrochemical evaluation for corrosion resistance of Al alloy is to calculate the diffusion limiting current density of cathodic polarization curve, impedance of AC or DC and polarization resistance of cyclic voltammogram.

Using Hebb-Wagner's asymmetric cell, partial conductivities of holes and electrons in yttria stabilized zirconia doped with 10 mol% TiO2 have been estimated by a dc polarization measurement. The current interrruption method and ac impedance measurements have been also made to evaluate the ionic conductivity and to examine the consistency of the partial conductivities. Partial conductivities of electrons(σn) and holes (σp) were found to be pro-peortional to -1/4 and 1/4 power of partial pressure of oxygen gas, respectively, except for σn at reducing conditions. In comparison with 5 mol% doped YSZ, σn was found to increase with the increase of TiO2 concentration, but σp stayed at almost a constant value.

본 논문에서는 AlGaN/GaN HEMT의 분극에 의한 전기적인 특성과 구조적인 특성에 대해서 분석하였다. 몰 분율, AlGaN barrier 층의 두께의 물리적인 변화에 따라서 이차원 전자가스 채널의 농도 변화가 이루어지는 것을 바탕으로 DC 특성 및 분극을 고려한 최적화된 구조에 대해서 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. AlGaN의 몰 분율이 0.3 몰에서 0.4 몰로 증가할수록 분극에 의한 bound sheet charge가 16 % 증가하며 그에 따라서 Id-Vd 특성 역시 37% 증가하게 된다. 또한 AlGaN 층의 두께가 17 nm에서 38nm로 증가할수록 Id-Vd의 특성이 증가하다가 임계두께인 39nm에 이르게 되면 AlGaN층의 relaxation에 의해서 급격하게 특성이 나빠지는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 DCS와 WiBro 및 ISM 수용이 가능한 기지국용 광대역 다중공진 평판 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안한 안테나는 기존의 모노폴 구조를 개방 루프 형태(폴디드 형태)로 수정하여 개방 부분의 결합에 의한 캐패시턴스를 증가시킨 광대역 다중공진 안테나를 설계하였다. 제안된 안테나는 도파관 급전 방법의 인쇄형 평판 안테나로 단일 층으로 구현되어 MMIC 및 LTCC의 이용이 용이하며 기존의 안테나보다 크기가 작고 높은 이득을 갖는다. 안테나 구조의 개방 부분의 간격과 루프 형태의 높이를 조절하여 공진 거리 및 대역폭을 조절 할 수 있다. 설계한 안테나의 대역폭은 정재파비 2 이하를 기준으로 DCS와 WiBro 및 ISM대역을 모두 충족하였으며 전체의 대역폭은 $1.575GHz\~2.985GHz(1.41GHz)$의 $58.75\%$의 주파수 대역폭을 얻었다. 또한, 안테나의 방사패턴은 1.6GHz, 2.3GHz, 2.8GHz에서의 Co-Polarization과 Cross-Polarization의 특성을 측정하였다.

A three-dimensional constitutive model for polarization switching in ferroelectric materials is used to predict the formation of switching zones in an atomic force microscopy(AFM) tip/ferroelectric thin film/bottom electrode system via finite element simulation. Initially the ferrolectric film is poled upward and the bottom electrode is grounded. A strong dc field is imposed on a fixed point of the top surface of the film through the AFM tip. A small switching zone with downward polarization is nucleated and grows with time. It is found that initially the shape of the switched zone is that of a bulgy dagger, but later turn to the shape of a reversed cup with the lower part wider than the upper part. It can also be concluded that the size of switching zones increases with the period of applied electric potential. The present results are qualitatively consistent with experimental observations.

Among the automotive steering systems, an Electric Power Assisted steering (EPAS) system utilizes an electronically controlled electric motor to provide steering assistance to the driver. The key components of the EPAS system are torque sensor, ECU (Electronic Control Unit), and DC Motor. The most important component of the EPAS is the torque sensor. The conventional torque sensor has complicated mechanical mechanism of torque detection. However, we suggest a non-contact torque sensor for EPAS using Maluss polarization law. It was found that the sensor exhibited not only excellent linearity but also superior characteristics of hysteresis, temperature and vibration.

PEMFC has several technical problems such as water management, long term stability and performance degradation as. PEMFC has been studied not only to solve water management, but also to generate power in stable manner to system by using a hybrid system with auxiliary energy storage device. The purpose of this study is to couple PEMFC with supercapacitor to make a hybrid system and to design and test control strategies for stable power generation in case of changing output power. The polarization curve and dynamic behaviors while changing power were investigated to find out characteristics of PEMFC stack. A DC/DC converter was fabricated in order to increase fuel cell and supercapacitor voltage and to charge supercapacitor. We found that the operation strategy 2 was recommended to the system because of solving water management problem and increasing the dynamic behavior.
