For the first time, two-dimensional temporal behavior of the edge localized mode (ELM) filament is measured in the edge tokamak plasma with a multi-channel electrical probe array (MCEP). MCEP, which has 16 floating probes (4 × 4), is mounted at the far scrape-off layer (SOL) region in the KSTAR. An electron temperature and an ion flux are measured by sideband method (SBM), which can achieve two-dimensional measurements with high time resolution. Furthermore, temporal evolutions of the electron temperature and the ion flux are obtained during the ELM occurrence. In the H-mode period, short spikes from ELM bursts are observed in measured plasma parameters, and the trend is similar to that of typical Hα signal. Interestingly, when blob-like ELM filaments crash the probe, the heat flux is significantly higher in a local region of the probe array. The results show that our probe array using the SBM can measure the ELM behavior and the plasma parameters without the effect of the stray current caused by the huge device. This study can provide valuable data needed to understand the interaction between the SOL plasma and the plasma facing components (PFCs).

The 4-probe method with a voltage tap on terminals has been used for the measurement of the critical current of multi-strand high-T$_{c}$ superconducting(HTS) cables. And the critical current of cables is obtained as the measured total current divided by the number of conductor when the terminal voltage exceeds the predetermined criterion of critical current. However, because of the non-uniform current distribution due to the different critical current, shapes, and other characteristics of each conductor, this is not applicable method to the multi-strand HTS cable. To determine the critical current of multi-strand HTS cable, the critical current of each conductor must be measured with different method. h this paper, the current distribution and the critical current of each conductors in multi-strand cable were measured with specially made Pick-up coils and voltage taps. It is presented that the real critical current of multi-strand is smaller than sum of each conductors. The main cause of non-uniform current distribution is the difference between the resistances appeared in each HTS wires.s.

Air-water flow measurements are of importance for the coastal and ocean engineering fields. Although kinematic investigations of the multi-phase flows have been conducted for long time, velocity measurements still are concerned with many researchers and engineers in coastal and ocean areas. In the present study, an imaging technique using shadowgraphy and fiber optic probe for velocity measurements of air bubbles is introduced. The shadow graphy image technique is modified from the typical image velocimetry methods, and optical fibers are used for the well-known intrusive coupled phase-detection probe system. Since the imaging technique is a non-intrusive optical method from the air, it is usually applied for 2D flows. On the other hand, the double fiber optic probes touch flows regardless of flow patterns. The results of the flow measurements by both methods are compared and discussed. The methods are also applied to the measurements of overtopping flows by a breaking wave over the structure fixed on the free surface.

본 논문에서는 다양한 물질에 접촉해 있는 여러 형태의 동축선 끝단에서의 전파반사를 FDTD 방법으로 해석하였다. 3차원의 해석 구조를 2차원 원통 좌표계로 변환하여 매우 효율적으로 계산할 수 있었다. FDTD 계산결과를 통하여, 주파수가 높아지거나 또는 동축선로의 직경이 증가할 때 동축선 끝단에서의 반사크기가 줄어든다는 것을 알았다. 이 방법을 적용하여 다층 구조에서의 전파반사도 해석하였으며, 측정결과와 이론식을 이용하여 본 해석 방법을 검증하였다.

High throughput analysis using a DNA chip microarray is powerful tool in the post genome era. Less labor-intensive and lower cost-performance is required. Thus, this paper aims to develop the multi-channel type label-free DNA chip and detect SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms). At first, we fabricated a high integrated type DNA chip array by lithography technology. Various probe DNAs were immobilized on the microelectrode array. We succeeded to discriminate of DNA hybridization between target DNA and mismatched DNA on microarray after immobilization of a various probe DNA and hybridization of label-free target DNA on the electrodes simultaneously. This method is based on redox of an electrochemical ligand.

Small peptide tags such as c-myc, HA, or FLAG tag have facilitated efficient Western-blotting of proteins of interest especially when specific antibodies for the proteins are not available. However, the conventional Western-blotting requires the multi-steps process taking at least several hours up to two days. With examples of various applications, here we show a convenient and time-saving method for protein detection which employs a fluorescent chemical BDED and its binding peptide RC-tag. And we propose "Estern staining", as a standard term for protein detection method using fluorescent chemicals and their binding small peptide tags. Eastern staining may substitutes for the time-consuming "immuno-staining" in many versatile applications.

본 논문에서는 기존의 LCR 미터에 의한 측정방식이 아니라 C/V(capacitance to voltage) 변환 방식을 이용하여 커패시턴스를 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 다중채널용 초음파 프로브 진단장치를 구현하기 위해 192채널들을 6개의 MUX(multiplexer) 채널로 변환하는 아날로그 MUX 회로를 설계하였다. 각각의 MUX 채널 회로별 전압을 다시 커패시턴스로 변환하는 회로특성이 다르기 때문에 각각의 MUX 채널별 디지털전압을 커패시턴스로 변환하는 변환함수를 최소 자승법을 이용하여 유도하였다. 개발된 시제품의 성능시험결과로 1회 측정시간이 4초 이내로 측정되었고, 192개 채널들의 반복적인 측정에서 최대값, 최소값, 평균값에 대한 측정 오차값이 5% 이내의 시험결과가 제시되었다.

연구배경: Rifampicin은 항결핵 단기요법의 근간이 되는 약제로 rifampicin 내성용 다제내성의 지표이기도 하다. rpoB유전자는 rifampicin이 결합하여 약리작용을 나타내는 RNA polymerase의 $\beta$-subunit을 coding하는 유전자이며 rifampicin내성 결핵균의 약 96%에서 돌연변이가 관찰된다. 그러므로 rifampicin내성결핵을 빠르게 진단할 수 있는 유용한 방법을 확인하기 위하여 PCR-line probe법과 PCR-SSCP법을 이용하여 다음의 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 대한 결핵연구원의 약제감수성검사상 rifampicin 내성인 결핵균주 33예와 감수성인 결핵균주 12예를 대상으로 하였다. 각각 배양균 집락에서 DNA를 분리한 후, PCR-line probe법과 PCR-SSCP법을 이용하여 rifampicin 내성 여부를 단일맹검적으로 검사하였고, 이를 약제감수성검사 결과와 비교하였다. 결 과: PCR-line probe법으로는 내성균주 33예중 27예(81.8%)에서 rpoB 유전자의 돌연변이를 확인할 수 있었고, 감수성균주 12예는 모두 rpoB 유전자의 돌연변이는 없었다. PCR-SSCP 법으로는 내성균주 33예중 23예(69.7%)에서 rpoB 유전자의 돌연변이를 확인할 수 있었고, 감수성균주 12예는 모두 rpoB 유전자의 돌연변이는 없었다. Rifampicin내성균주에서 rpoB 유전자 돌연변이 검출율의 PCR-line probe 법과 PCR-SSCP법간의 차이는 없었다 (p=0.25). 결 론: PCR-line probe법은 PCR-SSCP법과 더불어 rifampicin 내성을 조기에 진단할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로 사료되며, 전통적인 약제감수성검사 결과를 기다릴 수 없는 국한된 환자에게 유용한 진단법으로 생각된다.
