The structural, magnetic, and transport properties of a mono-layered manganite $La_{0.7}Sr_{1.3}MnO_{4+{\delta}}$ were investigated using variable temperature neutron powder diffraction as well as magnetization and transport measurements. The compound adopts the tetragonal I4/mmm symmetry and exhibits no magnetic reflection in the temperature region of 10 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K. A weak ferromagnetic (FM) transition occurs about 130 K, which almost coincides with the onset of a metal-insulator (M-I) transition. Extra oxygen that occupies the interstitial site between the [(La,Sr)O] layers makes the spacing between the [MnO₂] layers shorten, which enhances the inter-layer coupling and eventually leads to the M-I transition. We also found negative magneto resistance (MR) below the M-I transition temperature, which can be understood on the basis of the percolative transport via FM metallic domains in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulating matrix.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive optical imaging technique that indirectly assesses neuronal activity by measuring changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in tissues using near-infrared light. fNIRS has been used not only to investigate cortical activity in healthy human subjects and animals but also to reveal abnormalities in brain function in patients suffering from neurological and psychiatric disorders and in animals that exhibit disease conditions. Because of its safety, quietness, resistance to motion artifacts, and portability, fNIRS has become a tool to complement conventional imaging techniques in measuring hemodynamic responses while a subject performs diverse cognitive and behavioral tasks in test settings that are more ecologically relevant and involve social interaction. In this review, we introduce the basic principles of fNIRS and discuss the application of this technique in human and animal studies.

This paper presents a novel power control strategy for PWM current-source rectifiers (CSRs) in the stationary frame based on the instantaneous power theory. In the proposed control strategy, a virtual resistance based on the capacitor voltage feedback is used to realize the active damping. In addition, the proportional resonant (PR) controller under the two-phase stationary coordinate is designed to track the ac reference current and to avoid the strong coupling brought about by the coordinate transformation. The limitations on improving steady-state performance of the PR controller is investigated and mitigated using a cascaded lead-lag compensator. In the z-domain, a straightforward procedure is developed to analyze and design the control-loop with the help of MATLAB/SISO software tools. In addition, robustness against parameter variations is analyzed. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the proposed control scheme and design method.

It was reported from our laboratory that the rate of deterioration of the force of contraction was slower in heart from Panax ginseng extract treated rats. Present investigation was designed to elucidate the mechanism of the slow deterioration of contractility of ginseng treated hearts. Therefore, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ Uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) isolated from ginseng treated rate and control rats was studied. Rate weighing 150-250g were administered orally with ginseng ethanol extract (100mg/kg) for 10 days. Cardiac SR was isolated by differential centrifugation and $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ uptake was assessed by the Millipore method. Freshly isolated SR from treated as well as control animals did not show any differences, but after incubation for 30 and 60 min at 37.deg.C, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ uptake of control animal SR was found to be greatly depressed. The SR of treated animal possessed a greater degree of resistance to incubation. Thus it can be concluded that ginseng may have an ability to sustain the normal function of the heart by sustaining Ca accumulation by SR involved with the excitationcontraction coupling processes.

Radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on direct current (DC) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) have low-noise performance for precision physics experiments. Gain curves of SQUID RF amplifiers depend on several parameters of the SQUID and operation conditions. We are developing SQUID RF amplifiers for application to measure very weak RF signals from ultra-low-temperature high-magnetic-field microwave cavity in axion search experiments. In this study, we designed, fabricated and characterized SQUID RF amplifiers with different SQUID parameters, such as number of input coil turn, shunt resistance value of the junction and coupling capacitance in the input coil, and compared the results.

폴리카보네이트 표면에 spin-coating한 유/무기 복합 코팅막을 자외선 경화와 가열(12$0^{\circ}C$, 12시간)처리함으로써 약 4~13 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 투명한 내마모성 유/무기 복합코팅막을 제조하였다. 코팅용액은 무기상과 유기상을 각각 0 : 100, 20 : 80, 30 : 70, 50 : 50, 80 : 20 중량비로 혼합한 다음 광개시제, 증감제 및 계면활성제를 첨가하여 제조하였다. 무기상은 TEOS와 실란커플링제 MPTMS을 1 : 2 혹은 2 : 1몰비로 흔합하여 졸ㆍ겔 반응으로 제조하였으며, 유기상은 2관능형 urethane acrylate 올리고머, 다관능형 TMPTA와 HDDA를 4:3:3 wt% 비율로 흔합하여 제조하였다. 유/무기복합상의 화학적 변화는 FT-IR, $^{29}$ Si-NMR로 분석하였으며, 열분석과 코팅층 표면 형상은 TGA/DSC, SEM, AFM으로 분석하였다. 무기물의 함량과 실란커플링제의 첨가량이 증가 할수록 분자수준의 흔화도가 개선되고 표면 평활도와 내마모성도 향상되었다. 즉 약 10 $\AA$ 이하의 표면 거칠기와 약 15$0^{\circ}C$의 T$_{g}$를 나타내는 시료는 500회 마모시험 전후 단지 16%의 광투과도 감소만을 보인 반면에, 무코팅 폴리카보네이트를 46%의 광투과율 감소를 나타내었다..

Background: Calcific degeneration is the major cause of clinical failure of glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinked bioprosthetic tissues implanted in the body and necessitates the reoperation or causes death. Surface modification of biologic tissues using sulfonated polyethyleneoixde (PEO-SO3) has been suggested to significantly enhance blood compatibility, biostability and calcification-resistance by means of the synergistic effect of highly mobile and hydrophilic PEO chains and electrical repulsion of negatively charged sulfonate groups. This study was designed to evaluate the anticalcification effect of surface-modification of biologic arteries by direct coupling of PEO-SO3 after GA fixation and changes of calcification according to the implantation period through the quantitative investigation of the deposited calcium and phosphorous contents of the biologic arterial tissues in the canine circulatory implantation model. Material and Method: Total of 16 fresh canine carotid arteries were harvested from eight adult dogs and divided in to GA group(n =8) and PEO-SO3 group(n=8). Sulfonation of diamino-terminated PEO was performed using propane sultone. Canine carotid arteries were only crosslinked with 0.65% GA solution in GA group and modified by direct coupling 5% PEO-SO3 solution after GA crosslinkage for 2 days and stabilized by NaBH4 solution for 16 hours in PEO-SO3 group. In both groups the resected segment of bilateral carotid arteries were reconstructed. Reconstructed segments of the two groups were analysed the quantities of calcium and phosphorous contents after 3(n=4) and 6(n=4) weeks in vivo. Result: After implantation of 3 seeks, PEO-SO3 group showed significantly less depositions.

칼콘기를 포함하는 광가교성 sulfonated polyimide(SPI) 전해질 고분자를 칼콘기를 가지는 실란 커플링제가 처리된 알루미나 전극에 도포하여 습도센서를 제조하였다. SPI 필름 중 bis(tetramethyl)ammonium 2,2'-benzidinedisulfonate($Me_4N$-BDS)/4,4'-diaminochalcone(DAC)/pyromellitic dianhydride(PA)= 90/10/100 이루어진 습도센서는 20과 95 %RH 영역에서 4.48부터 $2.1k{\Omega}$까지 변화하며 좋은 직선성(Y = -0.04528X+7.69446, $R^2=0.99675$)을 보여주었다. 33 %RH와 94 %RH 사이에서 흡습과 제습과정의 응답속도는 약 79초이며, 가교화된 SPI 필름은 습도를 빠르게 검지할 수 있는 매우 효율적인 감습재료이다. 온도 의존성 계수는 $-0.49%RH/^{\circ}C$이며 습도센서로서 응용시 온도 보상이 필요하다. 또한 센서의 기재를 칼콘을 포함하는 실란 커플링제로 처리한 센서는 가교와 동시에 기재에 접합되어 480시간 이상 내수성, 고온과 고습 안정성 및 장기 안정성이 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 이렇게 가교화된 SPI는 상용화된 센서보다 우수한 특성을 보이는 재료로서 응용 가능성을 보여주었다.

막결합형 활성슬러지 공정은 막오염으로 인한 플럭스 감소 때문에 시스템의 경제성과 효율성이 떨어지는 문제점을 지니고 있어 막오염에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한외여과막과 결합된 활성슬러지 시스템을 운영하면서 막오염 유발 인자를 규명하고자 하였다. 활성슬러지 공정의 운전 초기에 급격한 플록 크기 감소와 동시에 급격한 플럭스 감소가 관찰되었다. 초기 플럭스 감소현상은 활성슬러지 플록의 입자 크기 감소로 인한 케이크 저항의 증가가 주요 원인이었다. 이것은 운전시간에 따른 각 여과 저항값을 측정하여 확인하였다. 또한, 플록 해체로 인하여 EPS 양이 운전 전보다 약 150 % 가량 증가한 것을 볼 때 EPS 양의 증가가 케이크 저항 증가의 또 다른 원인이 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

본 논문은 기 수행된 1:5축소 10층 RC 공동주택의 지진모의 실험결과에 비추어 근래 개발된 PERFORM-3D를 이용하여 해석적 모사를 시도하였다. 해석과 실험의 상관관계 분석에 의해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 재현주기 50년 지진에 대해 실험과 해석이 매우 유사한 탄성거동을 보였다. 반면 우리나라의 설계지진과 최대지진에 대해서는 비선형 거동을 보이긴 하지만 실험의 최대응답과 강성 및 강도 저하를 제대로 모사하지 못하였다. 이의 주된 이유는 슬라브 거동을 탄성으로 가정하였기 때문이라고 판단된다. (2) 탄성영역 거동에 대해 해석모델이 전체 거동을 비교적 잘 모사하는 반면, 벽체 상호간에 걸친 힘의 분포에 있어서 실험과 상당한 차이를 보여주었다. (3) 최대지진에서 벽체의 전단변형은 비교적 잘 모사한 반면 휨변형의 경우 10배정도 과장되었다. 이는 일부 해석모델에서 인방보를 무시한 결과로 추정된다.
