Multihop transmission is a promising technique that helps in achieving broader coverage (excellent network connectivity) and preventing the impairment of wireless channels. This paper proposes a cluster-based multihop wireless network that makes use of the advantages of multihop relaying, i.e., path loss gain, and partial relay selection in each hop, i.e., spatial diversity. In this partial relay selection, the node with the maximum instantaneous channel gain will serve as the sender for the next hop. With the proposed protocol, the transmit power and spectral efficiency can be improved over those in the case of direct transmission and conventional multihop transmission. Moreover, at a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the performance of the system with at least two nodes in each cluster is dependent only on the last hop and not on any of the intermediate hops. For a practically feasible decode-and-forward relay strategy, a compact expression for the probability density function of the end-to-end SNR at the destination is derived. This expression is then used to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average symbol error rate, and average bit error rate for M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation as well as to determine the spectral efficiency of the system. In addition, the probability of SNR gain over direct transmission is investigated for different environments. The mathematical analysis is verified by various simulation results for demonstrating the accuracy of the theoretical approach.

This work proposes a control method of frequency stabilization for grid integration of large-scale wind farms via the voltage source converter-based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) technology. First, the topology of grid integration of a large-scale wind farm via the VSC-HVDC link is provided, and simple control strategies for wind turbines, wind farm side VSC (WFVSC), and grid side VSC are presented. Second, a mathematical model between the phase angle of WFVSC and the frequency of the wind farm is established. The control principle of the large-scale wind power integrated system is analyzed in theory in accordance with the mathematical model. Third, frequency and AC voltage controllers of WFVSC are designed based on the mathematical model of the relationships between the phase angle of WFVSC and the frequency of the wind farm, and between the modulation index of WFVSC and the voltage of the wind farm. Corresponding controller structures are established by deriving a transfer function, and an optimization method for selecting the parameters of the frequency controller is presented. Finally, a case study is performed under different operating conditions by using the DIgSILENT/PowerFactory software. Results show that the proposed control method has good performance in the frequency stabilization of the large-scale wind power integrated system via the VSC-HVDC technology.

Purple rice (Oryza sativa L. var. indica) cv. Kum Doisaket is cultivated in northern Thailand. This study evaluated the mutagenic and antimutagenic properties of hydrophilic and lipophilic components of purple rice using the Ames test. The seed and hull of purple rice were extracted with hexane, methanol, ethanol, and water. The methanol extracts had the highest amounts of phenolic acids and flavonoids, while the hexane extracts contained large amount of tocols and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. None of the extracts were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The hexane extract of rice hull and the methanol extract of rice seed were strongly effective against aflatoxin B1- and 2-amino-3, 4 dimethylimidazo (4, 5-f) quinoline-induced mutagenesis, while aqueous extracts showed weakly antimutagenic properties. All extracts with the exception of aqueous extracts enhanced the number of revertant colonies from benzo (a) pyrene induced-mutagenesis. None of the extracts inhibited mutagenesis induced by the direct mutagens 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide and sodium azide. The hull extracts showed more potent antimutagenicity than the seed extracts. Based on a chemical analysis, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol and ${\gamma}$-tocotrienol in the hull and cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside in the seed are candidate antimutagens in purple rice. The antimutagenic mechanisms of purple rice might be related to either modulation of mutagen metabolizing enzymes or direct attack on electrophiles. These findings supported the use of Thai purple rice as a cancer chemopreventive agent.

By introducing a compressive-strained quanternary InGaAsP quantum-wells instead of a conventional ternary InGaAs quantum-wells in 1.55.mu.m DFB-LD, the lasing performances canb e improved and the problems caused by the thickness non-uniformity and the compositional abruptness among the hetero-interpaces canb e relaxed. In this paper, we investigated an iptimum InGaAsP/InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well(MQW) structure as an active layer in a direct-modulated 1.55.mu. DFB-LD from the view point of threshold current, chirping charcteristics, and resonance frequency. The optimum compressive-strained MQW structure was revealed as InGaAsP/InGaAsP structure with strain amount of about 1.2%, number of wells $N_{w}$ of 7, well width $L_{w}$ of 58.agns.. The threshold current density J of 500A/c $m^{2}$, the linewidth enhancement factor a of 1.8, and differential resonance frequency of d $f_{r}$/d(I-I)$^{1}$2/=2GHz/(mA)$^{1}$2/(atI=2 $I_{th}$) were expected in 1.55.mu.m .gamma./4-shifted DFB-LD with the cavity length of 400.mu.m long and kL value of 1.25. These values are considerably improved ones compared to those of 1.55um DFB-LD with InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW which have enhancement factor and the resonance frequence frequency by the detuning of lasing wavelength and gain-peak wavelength. It was found that the linewidth enhancement factor of 20% and differential resonance frequency of 35% without the degradation of the threshold current density could be enhanced in the range of -15nm~-20nm detuning which can be realized by controlling the thickness and Incomposition of InGaAsP well. well.and Incomposition of InGaAsP well. well.

본 논문에서는 M-ary 직교 변조를 사용하는 직접 확산 코드 분할 다중 접속 (DS/CDMA: Direct Sequence/Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템을 위한 최대 근사 (Maximum Lkelihood : ML) 결정 궤환 채널 추정(Decision Feedback Channel Estimation : DFCE) 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 결정 궤환 정보로서 RAKE 수신기의 최대 결합 출력을 사용한다. 제안된 시스템으로부터 추정된 채널 값을 이용하면 파일럿의 삽입없이 RAKE 수신기에서 동기 검파 (coherent demodulation)를 할 수 있고, 동시에 최대 비 결합(Maximum Ration Combining : MRC) 기법을 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 제안된 DFCE 다중 사용자 환경에서 다중 사용자 간섭 (Multiple Access Interference: MAI)으로 인해 심각한 성능의 저하가 발생한다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 다단 병렬 간섭 제거기(Multistage Parallel Interference Cancellation : PIC)를 제안된 시스템과 결합해 본다. 제안된 DFCE에서 추정된 정확한 채널 값은 동기식 검파뿐 아니라 PIC에서 다중 사용자 간섭 신호의 재 생성(regeneration)을 위해서도 쓰인다. 이럴 경우 PIC와 EFCF간에 서로 도움을 주는 이중 효과를 얻게 된다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 시스템은 기존의 비동기 검파(noncoherent demodulation) 방식에 비해 다단 PIC를 쓰지 않는 동기 검파의 경우 IE-02의 E$_{b}$/N$_{0}$에서 수용 가능한 사용자 수가 5명에서 약 10으로 2배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 다단 PIC를 사용한 동기 검파의 경우 약 30명으로 6배 정도가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

실외에서 운용되는 무선 광통신 시스템의 수신기는 태양광에 직·간접적으로 노출되기 마련이다. 본 논문에서는 주광이 무선 광통신 시스템의 수신 감도에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 방사 조도 측정치를 활용하여 지상에 위치한 수신기에 특정 시야각으로 직접 또는 간접적으로 입사하는 단위 면적당 태양광 전력 스펙트럼 밀도를 얻었고, 이 값을 이용하여 세기 변조/직접 검출 및 코히어런트 시스템의 성능 열화를 계산하였다. 분석 결과 주광이 수신기에 간접적으로 인가되는 경우 수신 감도 페널티가 시스템 종류에 관계없이 1.3 dB 이하였으나, 직접적으로 인가되는 경우에는 30 dB 이상의 매우 큰 수신 감도 열화가 발생하였다. 또한 이러한 수신 감도 열화는 편광자 사용 또는 광학 필터 대역폭 조절에 의해서도 거의 경감되지 않았다.

Eosinophils are important effector cells in host defense against parasites. Excretory-secretory product (ESP) produced by helminthic worms plays important roles in the uptake of nutrients, migration in the host tissue, and in immune modulation. However little is known about the ability of the ESP to directly trigger eosinophil apoptosis. This study investigated whether the ESP of newly excysted metacercariae of Paragonimus westermani could induce apoptosis in human eosinophils. Apoptosis was assayed by staining the cells with FITC-annexin V, and the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. It was found that the ESP of newly excysted metacercariae of P. westemani induced a direct time- and concentration-dependent increase in the rate of constitutive apoptosis in mature human eosinophils. Eosinophil apoptosis was first apparent 3 hr after treatment with the ESP and continued to increase after 6 hr of incubation with respect to the cells cultured in the absence of the ESP. While only 2.8% of the eosinophils incubated in the medium for 3 hr were apoptotic, 7.6%, 10.9% and 22.6% of the eosinophils treated with 10. 30 and $100{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ ESP were apoptotic, respectively. This result suggests that the ESP of newly excysted metacercariae of P. westermani directly induce eosinophil apoptosis, which may be important for the survival of the parasites and the reduction of eosinophilic inflammation in vivo.
