PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes were prepared by the addition of SSA as a crosslinking agent and HPA such as PWA or SiWA. The water uptake decreased and the IEC increased as the HPA contents increased in PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes. XRD results showed that HPA distributed well into the composite membranes as the HPA concentration increased, and SiWA dispersed better than PWA in the composite membranes. TGA results showed that PVA/SSA composite membranes were more heat-resistant than PVA due to the crosslinking of PVA, and the heat stability of the composite membranes improved much more as the concentration of HPA increased. The methanol barrier property of PVA/SSA/HPA composite membranes was superior to Nafion, and the methanol permeability of the composite membranes decreased as the concentration of HPA increased.

A novel harpin-like protein, HpaXm, was described from cotton leaf blight bacteria, Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum. The hpaXm was found to be localized between hrp2 and hrcC. A phylogenetic analysis of the complete amino acid sequence or solely the 13 highly conserved residues $H_2N$-SEKQLDQLLTQLI-COOH in the N-terminal $\alpha$-helix indicates that HpaXm is evolutionarily closer to HpaGXag and HpaXac than to Hpa1Xoo and Hpa1Xoc. A synthesized peptide containing two heptads, 39-LDQLLTQLIMALLQ-52, from the N-terminal a-helical region of HpaXm displayed comparable activity in inducing a hypersensitive response, but two other synthesized derivatives, $HpaXm{\Delta}T44C$ and $HpaXm{\Delta}M48Q$, showed reduced HR-triggering activity. The data from a GST trap test revealed that HpaXm was released into the extracellular medium, hpaXm mutant deficient for the leader peptide (1-MNSLNTQIGANSSFL-15) was unable to be secreted outside cells but still induced HR in tobacco leaves.

무선 통신 시스템에서 장거리 신호송출을 위해 사용하고 있는 고전력 증폭기(HPA, High Power Amplifier)는 증폭기의 비선형성 때문에 송출신호에 왜곡을 야기시키며 이 때문에 선형구간만을 사용하게 되어 그 전력 효율이 떨어지게 된다. 이 비선형 특성을 해결하기 위하여 디지털 사전 왜곡기(DPD, Digital Pre-distorter)를 HPA 의 앞단에 채용하여 송출신호를 선형화 시키고 효율도 높이게 된다. 이 DPD는 대부분 HPA를 특정 모델이라고 가정하고 최적화 알고리즘을 통해 설계되는데 HPA의 모델에 대한 가정이 맞지 않을 경우 설계된 DPD의 성능이 떨어질 수 있다. 따라서 HPA의 모델을 정확하게 아는 것은 DPD 설계에 있어서 중요한 이슈가 된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 상용되는 HPA에 대해 이미 알려진 다양한 HPA의 모델 중에서 가장 적합한 모델을 선정하고 또한 그 모델의 계수를 얻어내는 방법을 소개한다. 이렇게 얻어진 HPA의 모델정보는 최적의 DPD 설계에 사용될 수 있다. 각 HPA 모델에 대한 파라메터를 구함에 있어서 알려진 최적화 방법 이외에 직접 적용이 어려운 경우에는 기존 방식을 수정하고 그 방식을 사용하였다. 실제 HPA 의 입출력 신호를 실시간 수집하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하여 동일한 HPA 입력 신호에 대해 실제 HPA의 출력과 찾아낸 최적 모델의 출력을 비교 분석함으로써 실제 찾아낸 모델이 가장 정확하게 상용 HPA를 모델링 하고 있음을 확인하였다.

When using a high-power amplifier(HPA) for high-speed communication, the nonlinear characteristics of the HPA deteriorate power efficiency, bit error rate(BER) performance, and spectral efficiency. Because it is inevitable to use the HPA to obtain sufficient transmission power for high-speed communication, it is necessary to compensate for nonlinearity of the HPA by using a predistorter. In this study, a predistorter was used to compensate for the nonlinearity of the HPA, and the nonlinear distortion was compensated using the predistorter. Simulation results show that the compensation of the nonlinearity of the HPA using the predistorter achieves a BER performance similar to that of an ideal linear amplifier, and that the spectral mask is also satisfied.

In order to develop an oral vaccine to prevent H. pylori infection, we have expressed the hpaA gene of H. pylori K51 isolated from Korean patients, encoding 29-kDa HpaA that is known to be localized on the cell surface and flagella sheath, in a live delivery vector system, Lactococcus lactis. The hpaA gene, amplified by PCR using the genomic DNA of H. pylori K51, was cloned in the pGEX-2T vector, and the DNA sequence analysis revealed that the hpaA gene of H. pylori K51 had 99.7% and 94.8% identity with individual hpaA genes of the H. pylori 26695 strain (U.K) and the J99 strain (U.S.A). A polyclonal anti-HpaA antibody was raised in rats using GST-HpaA fusion protein as the antigen. The hpaA gene was inserted in an E. coli-L. lactis-shuttle vector (pMG36e) to express in L. lactis. Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of HpaA in the L. lactis transformant remained constant from the exponential phase to the stationary phase, without extracelluar secretion. These results indicate that the HpaA of H. pylori K51 was successfully expressed in L. lactis, and suggest that the recombinant L. lactis expressing HpaA may be applicable as an oral vaccine to induce a protective immune response against H. pylori.

The AMY2B gene, encoding human pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase isozyme (HPA II), was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and the effects of chloride ions on HPA II activity toward starch substrates were investigated. As seen with chloride ion-dependent ${\alpha}$-amylases-including HPA I, the isozyme of HPA II-chloride ions increased enzyme activity and shifted the optimal pH to an alkaline pH. The activity enhancement by chloride was more significant at pH 8 than that at pH 6, suggesting that the protonation state of the general acid/base catalyst of HPA II was important for the hydrolysis of starches at an alkaline pH because of the increase in its $pK_a$ by chloride ions. The turnover values for cereal starches as the substrates markedly increased in the presence of chloride by up to 7.2-fold, whereas that for soluble starch increased by only 1.7-fold. Chloride inhibited substrate hydrolysis at high substrate concentrations, with $K_i$ values ranging from 6 to 15 mg/mL.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of Head Posture Aligner (HPA) during cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan in generation of frontal cephalograms using 3D CBCT images. Methods: CBCT scans and frontal cephalograms were made in 30 adult individuals. While a couple of CBCT scan was made for one subject, one was made with conventional method, without use of HPA, the other was acquired with the use of HPA. After creation of virtual frontal cephalogram from each 3D CBCT image, it was traced and compared with the tracing of real frontal cephalogram. Results: In the comparison of the measurements, the virtual cephalograms with the use of HPA did not show statistically significant differences with the real cephalograms whereas the virtual cephalograms without the use of HPA presented significant differences with real cephalograms in many measurements. In the correlation analysis with the measurements of the real cephalograms, the virtual cephalograms with the use of HPA showed higher correlations in all measurements than the virtual cephalograms without the use of HPA. Conclusions: Measurements from CBCT-generated cephalograms become similar to those from real cephalograms with the use of HPA during CBCT scan. Thus, the use of HPA is suggested during the CBCT scan in order to construct accurate virtual frontal cephalograms using 3D CBCT images.

HPA(Host Protected Area) 영역과 DCO(Device Configuration Overlay) 영역은 사용자가 일반적으로 접근할 수 없는 영역이며 이 위치에 데이터를 저장하거나 은닉할 수 있다. HPA/DCO 영역은 저장 장치와의 통신을 위해 만들어진 규약인 ATA-4와 ATA-6에서 제시되었다. 디지털 포렌식 조사시 HPA/DCO 영역을 고려하지 않은 디스크 이미징 및 데이터 추출 방법은 해당 영역에 숨겨진 유용한 정보를 획득할 수 없다. 따라서 디지털 포렌식 관점에서 HPA/DCO 영역은 중요한 의미를 가지고 있으며, 해당 영역에 존재하는 데이터를 인식하여 획득하는 절차를 통해 디스크 이미징 또는 데이터 추출이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문은 HPA/DCO 영역에 관한 기존 연구를 활용하여 포렌식 조사에서 해당 영역을 확인하고 접근할 수 있는 방법을 제시하며, HPA/DCO 영역에 저장되어 있는 데이터를 획득하여 디지털 포렌식 조사시 활용할 수 있도록 한다.

A series of organic-inorganic composite membranes from poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) graft copolymer electrolyte and heteropolyacid (HPA) were prepared for proton conducting membranes. First, poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PVC-g-PSSA) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using direct initiation of the secondary chlorines of PVC. HPA nanoparticles were then incorporated into the PVC-g-PSSA graft copolymer though the hydrogen bonding interactions, as confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The proton conductivity of the composite membranes increased from 0.049 to 0.068 S/cm at room temperature with HPA contents up to 0.3 weight traction of HPA, presumably due to both the intrinsic conductivity of HPA particles and the enhanced acidity of the sulfonic acid of the graft copolymer. The water uptake decreased from 130 to 84% with the increase of HPA contents up to 0.45 of HPA weight traction, resulting from the decrease in number of water absorption sites due to hydrogen bonding interaction between the HPA particles and the polymer matrix. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated the enhancement of thermal stabilities of the composite membranes with increasing concentration of HPA.
