Solar array simulator (SAS) is essential equipment in testing and evaluating the power processing performance of a power conditioning system. However, the nonlinearity in the current(I)-voltage(V) characteristic makes the control loop design of SAS a challenging task. Conventionally, only the inner loop is usually considered in the control design approach. However, this study proves that the reference generation loop also interacts with the inner loop and plays a key role in the overall performance of the SAS. In this paper, the performance of voltage-mode control and impedance control, which are two of the most popular architectures for the SAS system, are reviewed and compared by multi-loop analysis.

The STELLA-2 is a large-scale sodium thermal-hydraulic integral effect test facility and supports the development of PGSFR. The facility adopted Pump Simulation Loop System (PSLS) concept for the mechanical sodium pump in the reference reactor to control and to measure the primary sodium flow. Since the component (mechanical pump) is replaced by the loop, it is very important to evaluate the similarity between the pump and the loop. In this paper, to simulate the characteristic of the mechanical sodium pump, the pressure loss along the various options of the loop was evaluated and the comprehensive validity of each design options was analyzed. Using the similarity criteria based on the Richardson number and Euler number conservation, the PSLS design was finalized and the result was within the acceptable error range. Finally, the result of this study was used for construction of the overall facility, STELLA-2.

The research on waste power batteries in China in the past ten years reveals that the power battery recycling industry is enormous but marred with several challenges. A study of China's current power battery closed-loop supply chain revealed some issues in the power battery recycling industry, such as imperfect supply chain, small recycling scale, asymmetric information, and imperfect profit distribution mechanism. This paper uses the theory of corporate social responsibility and consumer choice to propose a closed-loop network of power batteries based on block chain technology and analyzes the existing closed-loop supply chain of power batteries. Consequently, this study provides a new idea for developing the power battery closed-loop supply chain by proposing the closed-loop network of power batteries based on blockchain technology

This article discusses the sabotage of loops of intruder alarm systems. Although loop alarm systems are now gradually being replaced by digital alarm systems, they are still significantly present in practice. This paper describes two experimentally verified techniques for sabotaging balanced loops. The first technique is based on the jump replacement of the balancing resistor by a fake resistor. The second technique is based on inserting a series-parallel combination of two rheostats into the loop. By alternately changing the resistance of these rheostats, a state is reached where the balancing resistor is shorted by the parallel rheostat and replaced by the series rheostat. Sabotage devices for both attacks are technically simple and inexpensive, so they can be made and used by an amateur. Owners of loop alarm systems should become find out about this threat.

Afferent loop obstruction following gastrectomy is a rare but fatal complication. Clinical features of afferent loop obstruction are mainly gastrointestinal symptoms. A 56-year-old female underwent radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy for treatment of advanced gastric cancer. After fourteen months postoperatively, she showed gradual development of edema of both legs. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed disease progression at the jejunojejunostomy site and consequent dilated afferent loop, which resulted in inferior vena cava (IVC) compression. A drainage catheter was placed percutaneously into the afferent loop through the intrahepatic duct and an IVC filter was placed at the suprarenal IVC, and self-expanding metal stents were inserted into bilateral common iliac veins. With these procedures, sympotms related with afferent loop obstruction and deep vein thrombosis were improved dramatically. The follow-up abdominal CT scan was taken 3 weeks later and revealed the completely decompressed afferent loop and improved IVC patency. Surgical treatment should be considered as the first choice for afferent loop obstruction; however, because it is more immediate and less invasive, non-surgical modalities, such as percutaneous catheter drainage or stent placement, can be effective alternatives for inoperable cases or risky patients who have severe medical comorbidities.

High speed serial link에 적합한 clock multiphase generator용 integrated phase-locked loop (PLL)을 설계하였다. 설계된 PLL은 programmable current mirror를 사용하여 동작 범위 안에서 동일한 loop bandwidth와 damping factor를 가진다. 또한 설계한 PLL 회로 netlists를 가지고 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통해 close-loop transfer function과 VCO의 phase noise transfer function을 구하였다. Board 위 칩의 자체 임피던스는 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따라 계산된다. 세부적으로, close-loop transfer function에서 gain의 최대값과 VCO noise transfer function에서 gain의 최대값 사이의 주파수범위에서 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따른 보드 위 칩의 자체 임피던스를 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 보드에서의 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치가 PLL의 jitter에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 설계된 PLL은 1.8V의 동작 전압에서 400MHz에서 2GH의 wide operation range를 가지며 $0.18-{\mu}m$ EMOS공정으로 설계하였다. Reference clock은 100MHz이며 전체 PLL power consumption은 1.2GHz에서 17.28 mW이다.

The authors observed functional change of the CBD and the afferent loop with the transit time of $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ scintigram in patients treated by the surgical operation of gastric ulcers and cancer at Busan National University Hospital from June, 1987 to April, 1988. So authors estimated the time between the peak activity of the CBD and the afferent loop (TCA), the half transit time of the CBD activity (t 1/2 CBD) and the half transit time of the afferent loop activity (t 1/2 A-loop) in 9 patients undergone truncal vagotomy, who have no specific symptoms at 2 to 6 months after the operation, 5 patients undergone the operation without truncal vagotomy, and 7 persons as a control group. The results were as follows: I) In control group, the mean TCA, t 1/2 CBD and t 1/2 duodenum were $8.6{\pm}9.0$ min, $38.7{\pm}17.3$ min. and $28.6{\pm}10.9$ min, respectively. 2) In the operation group without truncal vagotomy, the mean TCA, t 1/2 CBD and t 1/2 A-loop were $10.0{\pm}7.1$ min. $48.2{\pm}22.3$ min. and $39.4{\pm}26.7$ min. respectively. 3) In the operation group with truncal vagotomy, the mean TCA, t 1/2 CBD and t 1/2 A-loop were $15.0{\pm}8.7$ min., $36.1{\pm}16.5$ min. and $42.6{\pm}24.4$ min, respectively. From the above results, we concluded that the transit time of the CBD and the afferent loop is not affected by truncal vagotomy.

본 논문에서는 기존의 위상 고정 루프를 병렬 형태로 이중 루프를 구성하였다. 두 개의 루프를 통해서 전달 특성에 따라 원하는 크기의 대역폭을 만든다. 대역 폭의 형태는 동작하는 주파수 대역에서 잡음을 최소화 할 수 있는 위상 고정 루프를 설계하였다. 제안한 위상고정루프는 두 가지 필터를 제어하기 위하여 두 개의 기울기 값을 가지는 전압제어 발진기를 사용하였다. 또한 정확한 위상 고정을 위하여 위상 고정 상태 표시기를 사용하였다. 전체적인 위상 고정 루프가 안정적인 동작하기 위하여 각 각의 루프가 각각 $58.2^{\circ}$, $49.4^{\circ}$의 위상 여유를 가지고 있으며 두 개의 루프를 합쳤을 때에도 $45^{\circ}$이상의 안정적인 위상 여유를 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 제안된 위상 고정 루프는 1.8V 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계 되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이중 루프를 가지고 위상고정루프의 구조가 원하는 출력 주파수를 생성하며 안정적으로 동작하는 것을 보여 주었다.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer diagnosed in children and represents approximately 25% of cancer diagnoses among those younger than 15 years of age. Materials and Methods: This study investigated alterations in the displacement loop (d-loop) region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a risk factor and diagnostic biomarker for early detection and diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Using mtDNA from 23 subjects diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the first 450 bp of the d-loop region were amplified and successfully sequenced. Results: This revealed 132 mutations at 25 positions in this region, with a mean of 6 alterations per subject. The d-loop alterations in mtDNA in subjects were all identified as single nucleotide polymorphisms in a homoplasmic distribution pattern. Mutant alleles were observed in all subjects with individual frequency rates of up to 95%. Thirteen mutant alleles in the d-loop region of mtDNA occurred with a high frequency. Novel alleles and locations were also identified in the d-loop of mtDNA as follows: 89 G insertions (40%), 95 G insertions (13%), 182 C/T substitutions (5%), 308 C insertions (19%), and 311 C insertions (80%). The findings of this study need to be replicated to be confirmed. Conclusions: Further investigation of the relationship between mutations in mitochondrial d-loop genes and incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is recommended.
