Transformer saturation in full bridge (FB) isolated DC-DC converters is caused by uneven switching speeds and voltage drops in semiconductor devices and mismatched gate signals. In order to prevent transformer saturation, most popular and widely used approach is to insert a capacitor in series with the transformer windings. This study conducts extensive analyses on transformer saturation and the effect of DC blocking capacitors when they are placed in the primary or secondary windings of a transformer. The effect of the DC blocking capacitors is verified in voltage-fed and current-fed FB converters.

We proposed the equations which enable us to calculate more easily the far-field radiation characteristics fo linear antennas with arbitarary current distributions. We derived the equations as series forms by approximating the current distribution on antenna as piecewise sinusoidal functions. The solutions of the approximate equations approach the exact values with increasing number of segments, but we have noticed by several examples that only a few number of segments are enough for practical problems.

Conglomerates and core-stones are the typical composite geomaterials that are composed of a weak matrix and a strong pebble part. In general, we couldn't analyze the composite geomaterials by using emperical rock classification methods. In the study, a series of analyses of elastic behavior of composite geomaterials are carried out by using homogenization theory. 45-case models are made with considering 3 kind of factors such as gravel content, size and strength of matrix. Those are applicable to various composite geomaterials of conglomerates and core-stones. The size of analysis model is large enough to exceed REV.

The influence of TBTO (Tributyltin-Oxide) at a series of concentrations (0.52, 1.41 and 3.05 $\mu$g/L) for a period of 3 weeks on estradiol-17$\beta$, testosterone and cortisol levels in male Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli was investigated. Compared to the stable concentration of estradiol-17$\beta$, plasma testosterone level was decreased significantly at the 3rd week after TBTO exposure in plasma of fish (＞1.41 $\mu$g/L). The most profound physiological variation in TBTO exposed fish was a dramatic increase in plasma cortisol level at 3rd week. Conclusively, TBTO exposure caused increase level of cortisol as well as alteration of testosterone in the Korean rockfish. These results suggest that TBTO at environmentally relevant (nanomolar) concentrations disrupt endocrine secretions.

This paper describes a design of the external-exciting electronic ballast for 100W high pressure sodium lamp. The ballast is consists of the full-bridge inverter and an external-exciting control circuit. L and C values of an equivalent L-C series resonant circuit are calculated analytically. The electrical output characteristics of the ballast, such as voltage, current etc., are simulated by Pspice. The experimental results from high pressure sodium lamp system with the ballast we developed are shown to be consistent with the simulated results.

This research proposes a high frequency resonant inverter for high power conversion apparatus, which is consist of two L-C linked full-bridge inverter using MOSFET in order to distribute voltage and current of the devices. As an output power control strategy, the time sharing control method is applied. From the computer simulation results, the inverters and devices can be shared properly voltage and current rating of the system. And also, theoretical characteristics of the proposed circuit are compared with experimental results.

SRM(switched reluctance motor) provides a excellent adjustable speed and torque characteristics. SRM has the possibility of maintaining full power over a wide speed range. So, many attempts are being done from home appliances to industrial applications. Especially, a traction drive of an SRM is one of a good application for it's DC-series characteristic. However, because of the switching mechanism and reluctance torque, it has some disadvantage Of noise and Vibration. It is difficult to adopt to an appliance demanding silency. A performance and noise tests with 6/4 and 12/8 SRM were done to compare the characteristics.

Spiraea japonica L. F., a plant species belongs to the Spiraea genus of Rosaceae family, has seven varieties. There are all varieties distributed in Yunnan province of China, and S. japonica var. acuminata and S. japonica var. fortunei were used as the folk medicines to treat malaria and inflammation etc.. Since 1960s, Japanese and Russian scholars obtained C$\_$20/-diterpenoid alkaloids from S. japonica L.F., also Chinese scholars got a series of Hetisine-type C$\_$20/-diterpenoid alkaloids from S. japonica var. fortunei in 1985. Since then, we started the chemical and pharmaceutical studies of this complex. Here we wish to report the bioactive effects of spiramine alkaloids and their derivatives on the platelet aggregation induced by AA, PAF, or ADP.

2001년에 발생한 가뭄 심도를 기왕의 주요 가뭄과 비교평가하기 위하여 전국을 95개 소유역으로 구분하고 월 강우량 계열로부터 작성된 갈수우량계열을 이용하여 지역빈도해석을 실시하였다. L-모멘트법을 사용하여 강우지속기간별, 재현기간별 갈수우량을 산정하고 지속기간별 확률갈수우량도를 작성하였다. 또한, 연평균강우량과 가뭄의 발생지역을 비교하여 강우량이 적은 지역과 가뭄이 자주 발생하는 지역의 연관성을 검토하였다. 강우지속기간-재현기간-갈수우량 관계를 고려하여 2001년 가뭄의 심도와 지역적 범위를 최근에 발생한 '95 가뭄과 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 2001년 가뭄의 특성과 용수공급을 위한 적정 방안을 제안하였다.

In the electrode fabrication of unit cell, we found that optimal the electrochemical characteristics were obtained with at 90 wt.% of activated carbon(BP-20), 5 wt.% of conducting agent(Ppy, Super P) and 5 wt.% of P(VdF-co-HFP)/PVP mixed binder. The electrochemical characteristics of unit cell with Ppy improver were as follows : 37.6 F/g of specific capacitance, 0.98 $\Omega$ of AC-ESR, 2.92 Wh/kg and 6.05 Wh/L of energy density, and 754 W/kg and 1,562 W/L of power density. It was confirmed that internal resistance were reduced due to the increase of electrical conductivity and filling density by the introduction of conductivity agent, and content of conducting agent was suitable in the range of 4~6 wt.%. According to the impedance measurement of the electrode with conductivity agent, we found that it was possible to charge rapidly by the fast steady-state current convergence due to low equivalent series resistance(AC-ESR), fast charge transfer rate at interface between electrode and electrolyte, and low RC time constant.
