This study presents the methodology for the performance analysis and prediction of small hydro power plants(SHP). Rainfall data are characterized to estimate the flow duration curve of SHP, using the cumulative density function of Weibull distribution. The model for the performance analysis of SHP is developed. Also, the performance characteristics of the existing Anheung Plant located in Han River basin are analyzed by using the developed model. As a result, it was found that the model is suitable to analyze the performance characteristics of existing SHP and to predict the primary design performance such as the design flowrate, capacity, rate of operation and annual electricity production of SHP.

Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the tyrosine phosphorylation motif (TPM) and 3' region structure of the Helicobacter pylori CagA gene as well as its SHP-2 binding activity in AGS cells and relation to gastric carcinogenesis. Methods: Sixteen clinical isolate H. pylori strains from eight duodenal ulcer and eight gastric adenocarcinoma patients were studied for CagA repeat sequence EPIYA motifs, C-terminal structure, and western blot analysis of CagA protein expression, translocation, and SHP-2 binding in AGS cells. Results: Except for strain 547, all strains from the gastric adenocarcinoma patients were positive for CagA by PCR and had three EPIYA copy motifs. Western blotting showed that all strains were positive for CagA protein expression (100%), CagA protein translocation (100%), and SHP-2 binding (100%). CagA protein expression was significantly higher in the gastric adenocarcinoma patients than in the duodenal ulcer patients (P=0.0023). CagA protein translocation and SHP-2 binding in the gastric adenocarcinoma patients were higher than those in the duodenal ulcer patients, but no significant differences were found between the two groups (P=0.59, P=0.21, respectively). Conclusions: The TPMs and 3' region structures of the H. pylori CagA gene in the duodenal ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma patients have no significant differences.

Background: Cytotoxic function of killer cells is inhibited by specific recognition of class I MHC molecules on target cells by inhibitory killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) expressed on NK cells and some cytotoxic T cells. The inhibitory effect of KIR is accomplished by recruitment of SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP) to the phosphotyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic tail. Methods: By in vitro coprecipitation experiments and transfection analysis, we investigated the association of KIR with an adaptor protein Shc in Jurkat T cells. Results: The cytoplasmic tail of KIR appeared to associate with an adaptor protein Shc in Jurkat T celilysates. Similar in vitro experiments showed that phosphorylated KIR cytoplasmic tail bound SHP-1 and Shc in Jurkat T cell lysates. The association of KIR with Shc was further confirmed by transfection analysis in 293T cells. Interestingly, however, Shc appeared to be replaced by SHP-2 upon engagement of KIR in 293T cells. Conclusion: Our data indicate that KIR associate with an adaptor protein Shc in Jurkat T cells, and suggest that KIR might have an additional role which is mediated by this adaptor protein.

The characteristics of hydrologic design parameters for small hydro power(SHP) sites located in four major river systems have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SHP plants is established. The results from hydrologic performance analysis for SHP sites located on five major river systems based on the models developed in this study show that the specific design flowrate and specific output of SHP site have large difference between the river systems. The load factor, however, have small difference compared with specific design flowrate and specific output for all river systems. Also, it was found that the models developed in this study can be used to predict the primary design specifications of SSHP plants effectively.

A performance prediction model for Small Hydro Power(SHP) sites has been studied and developed. Twelve SHP sites were selected and the performance characteristics were analyzed by using the developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, plant capacity, operational rate were suggested and feasibility for small hydro power sites were estimated. It was found that the design flowrate is most important parameter to exploit SHP plant and the methodology developed in this study can be a useful tool to analyze the performance of SHP sites.

The hydrologic performance characteristics of small hydro power(SHP) sites located in four major river systems have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SHP plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam for 32 years were analyzed. The predicted results from the developed models in this study showed that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam. The results from hydrologic performance analysis for SHP sites located on five major river systems based on the models developed in this study show that the specific design flowrate and specific output of SHP site have large difference between the river systems.

In this paper, direct conversion receiver was designed to even harmonic anti-paralled diode pair ring mixer. Using a second harmonic component of LO instead of LO signal and RF signal are mixed by SHP(Sub Harmonic Pumped) mixer with anti-parallel diode pair. Canceling the harmonics of LO signal in ring mixer, SHP mixer using anti-parallel diode pair could mostly reduce the radiation of LO signal through a input port the most, good isolation characteristic, and low spurious characteristic by LO signal was shown over broad band. The produced SHP mixer showed LO/IF, RF/IF and LO/RF isolation was 24.6dB,36.2dB and 22.5dB respectively. And conversion loss was measured 15.6dB, IF output -35.6dBm with -20dBm RF input and 5.5dBm LO signal. 1dB compression point of If signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0dbm RF signal.

In this paper, sub-harmonic pumped(SHP) mixer using anti-parallel diode pair(APDP) is designed for 5 GHz band wireless communication system. Conventional mixers mix LO with RF, and obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. As the frequency increase, LO signal requires higher LO power, better phase noise characteristics, more stable La. However, using APDP, the SHP mixer mixes the 2nd harmonics of LO signal. Therefore, the SHP mixer has an advantage that the LO signal frequency required for IF signal is reduced at half value of LO fundamental frequency. When LO power is 3 dBm, the conversion loss of manufactured SHP mixer is 12.83 dB. The isolation of LO/IF, 2LO/IF, RF/1F and LO/RF is 39.17 dB, 58 dB, 34 dB, and 67.9 dB. respectively. For this case, IP3 at input is 8 dBm.
