This paper demonstrates a real-time hybrid substructuring (RTHS) shake table test to evaluate the seismic performance of a base isolated building. Since RTHS involves a feedback loop in the test implementation, the frequency dependent magnitude and inherent time delay of the actuator dynamics can introduce inaccuracy and instability. The paper presents a robust stability and performance analysis method for the RTHS test. The robust stability method involves casting the actuator dynamics as a multiplicative uncertainty and applying the small gain theorem to derive the sufficient conditions for robust stability and performance. The attractive feature of this robust stability and performance analysis method is that it accommodates linearized modeled or measured frequency response functions for both the physical substructure and actuator dynamics. Significant experimental research has been conducted on base isolators and dampers toward developing high fidelity numerical models. Shake table testing, where the building superstructure is tested while the isolation layer is numerically modeled, can allow for a range of isolation strategies to be examined for a single shake table experiment. Further, recent concerns in base isolation for long period, long duration earthquakes necessitate adding damping at the isolation layer, which can allow higher frequency energy to be transmitted into the superstructure and can result in damage to structural and nonstructural components that can be difficult to numerically model and accurately predict. As such, physical testing of the superstructure while numerically modeling the isolation layer may be desired. The RTHS approach has been previously proposed for base isolated buildings, however, to date it has not been conducted on a base isolated structure isolated at the ground level and where the isolation layer itself is numerically simulated. This configuration provides multiple challenges in the RTHS stability associated with higher physical substructure frequencies and a low numerical to physical mass ratio. This paper demonstrates a base isolated RTHS test and the robust stability and performance analysis necessary to ensure the stability and accuracy. The tests consist of a scaled idealized 4-story superstructure building model placed directly onto a shake table and the isolation layer simulated in MATLAB/Simulink using a dSpace real-time controller.

Nitrogenase 촉매에서 Fe-단백질을 포함하는 [4Fe-4S] 클라스터의 기능은 기질의 결합과 환원 자리를 포함하는 MoFe-단백질로 핵산 의존 전자 주개로 작용하는 것이다. 이러한 방법의 Fe-단백질의 기능은 Mofe-단백질과 상호작용을 위해 적합한 구조를 갖추며 전자 전달을 위한 추진력을 제공하기 위해 산화 환원 퍼텐셜을 변화시키는 능력에 의존한다. Nitrogenase Fe-단백질에 MgADP가 결합한 (혹은 떨어진) 구조적 정보는 핵산 결합 자리로부터 MoFe-단백질과의 결합력을 조절하기 위한 장거리 상호작용 메커니즘을 제시한다. 스위치 I과 II의 두 가지 경로가 뉴클레오티드의 신호전달 메커니즘을 담당한다. MgADP가 결합된 Fe-단백질의 구조는 Fe 단백질이 핵산과 결합할 때 관찰되는 [4Fe-4S] 클라스터의 생물리학적 특성 변화의 기초를 제공한다. 스위치, I과 II의 핵산 의존 신호전달 경로에서 특정 아미노산이 치환된 nitrogenase Fe-단백질의 구조들이 X-선 회절법에 의해서 결정되었다. 이들 경로는 아미노산 치환 연구, 구조 분석, 유사한 핵산 의존 신호전달 경로에 이용된 다른 단백질 등에 의해서도 분석되었다. 이들 경로가 거대분자 착물 형성과 분자간 전자 전달을 위한 MgADP 결합과 가수분해의 신호전달 경로로의 타당성이 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 nitrogenase Fe 단백질과 MoFe-단백질 착물에서 Fe-단백질의 변이와 상호작용의 생물리학적 및 생화학적 특성을 위한 기초적 자료를 제공할 것이다.

This thesis describes the use of measured aerosol size distributions and size-resolved hygroscopic growth to examine the physical and chemical properties of several particle classes. The primary objective of this work was to investigate the optical and cloud forming properties of a range of ambient aerosol types measured in a number of different locations. The tool used for most of these analyses is a differential mobility analyzer / tandem differential mobility analyzer (DMA / TDMA) system developed in our research group. To collect the data described in two of the chapters of this thesis, an aircraft-based version of the DMA / TDMA was deployed to Japan and California. The data described in two other chapters were conveniently collected during a period when the aerosol of interest came to us. The unique aspect of this analysis is the use of these data to isolate the size distributions of distinct aerosol types in order to quantify their optical and cloud forming properties. I used collected data during the Asian Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) to examine the composition and homogeneity of a complex aerosol generated in the deserts and urban regions of China and other Asian countries. An aircraft-based tandem differential mobility analyzer was used for the first time during this campaign to examine the size-resolved hygroscopic properties of particles having diameters between 40 and 586 nm. Asian Dust Above Monterey (ADAM-2003) study was designed both to evaluate the degree to which models can predict the long-range transport of Asian dust, and to examine the physical and optical properties of that aged dust upon reaching the California coast. Aerosol size distributions and hygroscopic growth are measured in College Station, TX to investigate the cloud nucleating and optical properties of a biomass burning aerosol generated from fires on the Yucatan Peninsula. Measured aerosol size distributions and size-resolved hygroscopicity and volatility were used to infer critical supersaturation distributions of the distinct particle types that were observed during this period. The predicted CCN concentrations were used in a cloud model to determine the impact of the different aerosol types on the expected cloud droplet concentration. RH-dependent aerosol extinction coefficients are calculated at a wavelength of 550 nm.

Two types of aerodynamic admittance function (AAF) that have been adopted in bridge aerodynamics are addressed. The first type is based on a group of supposed relations between flutter derivatives and AAFs. In so doing, the aero-elastic properties of a section could be used to determine AAFs. It is found that the supposed relations hold only for cases when the gust frequencies are within a very low range. Predominant frequencies of long-span bridges are, however, far away from this range. In this sense, the AAFs determined this way are of little practical significance. Another type of AAFs is based on the relation between the Theodorsen circulation function and the Sears function, which holds for thin airfoil theories. It is found, however, that an obvious illogicality exists in this methodology either. In this article, a viewpoint is put forward that AAFs of bluff bridge deck sections are inherently dependent on oncoming turbulent properties. This kind of dependence is investigated with a thin plate and a double-girder bluff section via computational fluid dynamics method. Two types of wind fluctuations are used for identification of AAFs. One is turbulent wind flow while the other is harmonic. The numerical results indicate that AAFs of the thin plate agree well with the Sears AAF, and show no obvious dependence on the oncoming wind fields. In contrast, for the case of bluff double-girder section, AAFs identified from the turbulent and harmonic flows of different amplitudes differ among each other, exhibiting obvious dependence on the oncoming wind field properties.

Variability in Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) can be caused by time-dependent accretion rates, geometric changes in the circumstellar disks, the stochastic hydromagnetic interactions between stellar surfaces and inner disk edges, reconnections within the stellar magnetosphere, and hot/cold spots on stellar surfaces. We uncover ~1400 variables from a sample of ~5300 YSOs in nearby low-mass star-forming regions using mid-IR light curves obtained from the 5.5-years NEOWISE All Sky Survey. The mid-IR variability traces a wide range of dynamical, physical, and geometrical phenomenon. We classify six types of YSO variability based on their light curves: secular variability (Linear, Curved, Periodic) and stochastic variability (Burst, Drop, Irregular). YSOs in earlier evolutionary stages have higher fractions of variables at all types and higher amplitudes for the variability. Along with brightness variability, we also find a diverse range of secular color variations, which can be attributed to a competitive interplay between the variable accretion luminosity of the central source and the variable extinction by material associated with the accretion process. We compare the variability of known FUors/EXors and VeLLOs/LLSs, which represent two extreme ends (burst versus quiescent) of the episodic accretion process; FUors/EXors have a higher fraction of variables (65%) than VeLLOs/LLSs (41%). Short-term (few day) and long-term (decades) variability, as well as possible AGB contamination in the YSO catalogues, are also discussed.molecules become more complex by surface chemistry induced directly by high energy photons or by the thermal energy diffused over heated grain surface. Therefore, the ice composition is an

Recently, multiferroic materials gain much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties. These materials offer wide range of potential applications such as data storage, spintronic devices and sensors, where both electronic and magnetic polarizations can be coupled. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$ is typical because of the room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling in view of long-range magnetic- and ferroelectric-ordering temperatures. However, $BiFeO_3$ is well known to have large leakage current and small spontaneous polarization due to the existence of oxygen vacancies and other defects. Furthermore the magnetic moment of pure $BiFeO_3$ is very weak owing to its antiferromagnetic nature. Recently, various attempts have been performed to improve the multiferroic properties of $BiFeO_3$ through the co-doping at the A and the B sites, by making use of the fact that the intrinsic polarization and magnetization are associated with the lone pair of $Bi^{3+}$ ions at the A sites and the partially-filled 3d orbitals of $Fe^{3+}$ ions at the B sites, respectively. In this study, $BiFeO_3$, $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}FeO_3$, $BiFe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ and $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}Fe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ bulk compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Ho_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $NiO_2$ powders with the stoichiometric proportions were mixed, and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce the samples. The samples were immediately put into an oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 1 h. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The field-dependent and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer and superconducting quantum-interference device.

본 논문에서는 802.11 무선 랜 네트워크 트래픽의 실제 관측 자료에 대한 연구 결과를 보인다. 패킷 트레이스는 대학 캠퍼스의 무선 랜 시설에서 얻은 자료로서 총합된 트래픽(aggregate traffic), 업스트림 트래픽(upstream traffic), 다운스트림 트래픽(downstream traffic), 그리고 TCP 패킷으로만 구성된 통합된 트래픽으로 이 4개의 트래픽 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집한 데이터에서 byte count 프로세스와 packet count 프로세스로 구성된 트래픽의 시계열과 시계열의 주변분포, 그리고 패킷 크기 분포에 대한 분석을 한다. 4개의 모든 데이터의 byte count 프로세스와 packet count 프로세스에서 장기 의존성 성질이 나타났다. 사용자가 인터넷으로 접속하는 없트�� 트래픽의 평균 패킷 크기는 151.7 byte였는데 다른 데이터의 평균 패킷 크기는 모드 260 byte 이상이었다. 최대 크기를 갖는 패이로드(payload)는 업스트림에서 3%, 그리고 나온트림에서 10%로 나타났다. 이런 분명한 패킷 크기 분포의 차이에도 불구하고 모든 4개의 데이터에서는 허스트(Hurst) 값이 모두 유사하게 나왔다. 허스트 값만으로는 트래픽의 확률적 특성을 충분히 설명할 수가 없다. 트래픽의 특성을 fractional-ARIMA(FARINA) 그리고 fractional Gaussian noise(FGN)으로 모델링을 한다. FGN은 연산을 하는데 있어서는 더 효율적이었고, FARINA는 트래픽 특성을 정확하게 모델링하는데 더 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

졸-겔 방법을 이용하여 Fe첨가된 CuO박막 및 파우더 시료들을 제작하여 그 구조적, 전기적, 자기적 특성들을 순수한 CuO에서와 비교 분석하였다 순수한 CuO 박막은 monoclinic 구조를 가지며 상온에서 Cu 결핍으로 인한 p-type 전기전도성$(\~10^{-2}\;{\Omega^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$을 나타내었다 반면에 CuO:Fe박막은 부도체 성질을 나타내었고, 소량의 Li첨가에 의하여 p-type전도성 및 상온 강자성(ferromagnetism)을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 CuO: Fe, Li박막에서 나타난 결과는 $Li^+$ 이온의 $Cu^{2+}$ 자리 치환으로 인한 hole생성으로 전도성이 증대됨과 동시에 그 defect상태를 매개로 한 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온들간의 원거리 상호작용(long-range interaction)에 의한 강자성 효과의 증대에 기인한 것으로 해석된다. CuO: Fe파우더의 경우 박막에서와 비교하여 증대된 강자성을 나타내는데, 후열처리 온도의 증가가 자기 모멘트의 증대에 기여하였다. 뫼스바우어 측정을 통하여 CuO: Fe박막 및 파우더에서 주로 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온이 팔면체 $Cu^{2+}$ 자리를 치환하였음을 알 수 있었다.

Perovskite manganites such as $RE_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ (RE = rare earth, A = Ca, Sr, Ba) have been the subject of intense research in the last few years, ever since the discovery that these systems demonstrate colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The CMR is usually explained with the double-exchange (DE) mechanism, and CMR materials have potential applications for magnetic switching, recording devices, and more. However, the intrinsic CMR effect is usually found under the conditions of a magnetic field of several Teslas and a narrow temperature range near the Curie temperature ($T_c$). This magnetic field and temperature range make practical applications impossible. Recently, another type of MR, called the low-field magnetoresistance(LFMR), has also been a research focus. This MR is typically found in polycrystalline half-metallic ferromagnets, and is associated with the spin-dependent charge transport across grain boundaries. Composites with compositions $La_{0.7}(Ca_{1-x}Sr_x)_{0.3}MnO_3)]_{0.99}/(BaTiO_3)_{0.01}$ $[(LCSMO)_{0.99}/(BTO)_{0.01}]$were prepared with different Sr doping levels x by a standard ceramic technique, and their electrical transport and magnetoresistance (MR) properties were investigated. The structure and morphology of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). BTO peaks could not be found in the XRD pattern because the amount of BTO in the composites was too small. As the content of x decreased, the crystal structure changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral. This change can be explained by the fact that the crystal structure of pure LCMO is orthorhombic and the crystal structure of pure LSMO is rhombohedral. The SEM results indicate that LCSMO and BTO coexist in the composites and BTO mostly segregates at the grain boundaries of LCSMO, which are in accordance with the results of the magnetic measurements. The resistivity of all the composites was measured in the range of 90-400K at 0T, 0.5T magnetic field. The result indicates that the MR of the composites increases systematically as the Ca concentration increases, although the transition temperature $T_c$ shifts to a lower range.

목 적 : 소아의 스테로이드 의존형 및 빈번 재발형 신증후군에 사용되는 스테로이드 장기투여, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin등은 성장 장애나 생식선 장애, 신독성등 여러 가지 부작용을 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 최근 시도되고 있는 면역 조절제인 levamisole을 스테로이드 의존형 신증후군 환아에게 투여하여 이의 효과와 부작용을 관찰하고, 또한 기존의 제제를 사용한 치료 효과와 비교하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 대상환아는 1990년부터 2000년까지 연세대학교 세브란스병원 소아과에서 cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin등의 면역 억제 치료를 받고도 만족할 만한 관해가 유지되지 못하고 자주 재발하는 스테로이드 의존형 신증후군 환아 16례로 하였다. 치료시작 당시 연령분포는 3.7세에서 13.2세까지 평균 $9.1{\pm}2.5세$였고, 남녀비는 15:1이었으며, 조직검사상 모두 MCNS로 진단되었다. 이들에게 levamisole을 1일 체중당 2.5 mg을 격일 요법으로 12개월간 경구 투여하고 스테로이드 제제를 감량 투여하며 재발빈도, 치료결과를 조사하였다. 결 과 : Levamisole 치료를 받았던 환아들은 치료 시작 평균 14일에 모든 환아에서 완전 관해를 나타내었으며 1년간의 치료기간중 재발하지 않은 경우가 8례($50\%$)였으며, 재발한 경우도 8례였다. 치료 기간중 평균 재발 횟수는 연간 $0.77{\pm}0.9회$로 치료전의 연간 $2.18{\pm}0.9회$회에 비해 의미있게 감소하였으며(P=0.027), 치료후 평균 재발 횟수 역시 연간 $1.34{\pm}1.1회$로 치료전에 비해 의미있게 감소하였다(P=0.003). Levamisole 치료전 관해 유지 기간은 평균 $12.2{\pm}9.1개월$이었고, levamisole 치료후의 관해 유지 기간은 평균 $10.1{\pm}6.9개월$로 의미있는 차이가 없었다. Levamisole 치료후 나타날 수 있는 leukopenia, 피부 질환 및 그외의 임상적으로 의미있는 부작용은 나타나지 않았다. 결 론 : 스테로이드 의존형 신증후군 환아의 치료에서 levamisole의 장기사용은 큰 부작용없이 재발의 빈도를 감소시켜 안정적 관해 유지를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, 관해 유지 기간은 levamisole 치료전 다른 치료를 했을 때와 별 차이가 없었으나 좀 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 치료 후 장기간의 추적관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
