부분방전시험은 고전압 고정자 권선의 절연상태를 검사, 평가 할 수 있는 중요한 수단이다. 전동기와 발전기에서 일어나는 절연 악화의 징후로써 부분방전이 발생되며, 이러한 부분방전 신호를 검출하기 위한 센서로 SSC(Stator Slot Couple)를 사용한다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 SSC의 경우 설계에 있어 특성 임피던스가 실제구조에서 정확히 고려되지 않는 경향이 있다. 실제로 고정자 슬롯에 부착된 마이크로스트립 센서의 특성 임피던스는 정확히 50옴으로 정합 되지 않으며 이것은 센서의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 부분방전 센서의 성능을 개선시키기 위해 결합 전송선로(Coupled transmission line)를 이용한 임피던스 정합회로를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 센서의 성능을 입증하기 위하여 고정자 슬롯에 설치된 기존의 SSC와 임피던스 정합회로를 부착한 센서를 시뮬레이션 한 후 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 제안된 정합 회로는 광대역 임피던스 정합 특성을 가지며 임피던스 부정합 때문에 일어나는 기존 SSC의 성능 악화를 개선할 수 있었다.

Lempel-Ziv coding is one of the most famous source coding schemes. The output of this source coding is usually a non-uniform code, which requires additional source coding, such as arithmetic coding, to reduce a redundancy. However, this additional source code increases complexity and decoding latency. Thus, this paper proposes the optimal maximum a-posteriori (MAP) receiver for non-uniform source non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with symmetric superposition coding (SSC). First, we derive an analytical expression of the bit-error rate (BER) for non-uniform source NOMA with SSC. Then, Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the BER of the optimal MAP receiver for the non-uniform source improves slightly, compared to that of the conventional receiver for the uniform source. Moreover, we also show that the BER of an approximate analytical expression is in a good agreement with the BER of Monte Carlo simulation. As a result, the proposed optimal MAP receiver for non-uniform source could be a promising scheme for NOMA with SSC, to reduce complexity and decoding latency due to additional source coding.

In most existing researches on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with symmetric superposition coding (SSC), uniform sources have been usually considered. For the first part in this two-part paper, for the strongest channel gain user, we showed that the bit-error rate (BER) for the optimal maximum a-posteriori (MAP) receiver for the non-uniform source improves slightly, compared to that of the conventional receiver for the uniform sources. We demonstrate that in communication scenarios of the non-uniform source NOMA schemes, for the weakest channel gain user, the BER performance of the optimal MAP receiver for a non-uniform source improves greatly, compared to that of the conventional receiver for uniform sources. We first derive an analytical expression of the BER for non-uniform source NOMA with SSC. Then, simulations demonstrate that the BER of the optimal MAP receiver for the non-uniform source improves, compared with that of the conventional maximum likelihood (ML) receiver for the uniform sources. In result, the proposed optimal MAP receiver for the non-uniform source could be a promising scheme for SSC NOMA, with improved BER performances.

Recently, to improve the performance of the strongest channel gain user in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with a non-uniform source and symmetric superposition coding (SSC), a novel bit-to-symbol (BTS) mapping have been proposed. However, only the performance of the user with the stronger channel gain was analyzed. Thus, we compare the bit-error rate (BER) of the new BTS scheme with that of uniform sources, especially for the user with weakest channel gain. First, we show that the performance of the novel BTS scheme for the user with weakest channel gain also improves, compared to that of the uniform sources. Furthermore, the signal-to-noise (SNR) gain of the new BTS scheme over the uniform sourcesis calculated. As a consequence, the novel BTS scheme would improve the performance of the user with weakest channel gain as well as that with the stronger channel gain for SSC NOMA with a non-uniform source.

Spermatogenesis is initiated from spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) that has an ability of self-renewal and unipotency to generate differentiating germ cells. The objective of this study is to develop the simple method for derivation of SSCs using non-sorting of both spermatogonia and feeder cells. Simply uncapsulated mouse testes were treated with enzymes followed by surgical mincing, and single cells were cultured in stempro-$34^{TM}$ cell culture media at $37^{\circ}C$. After 5 days of culture, aciniform of SSC colony was observed, and showed a strong alkaline phosphatase activity. Molecular characterization of mouse SSCs showed that most of the mouse SSC markers such as integrin ${\alpha}6$ and ${\beta}1$, CD9 and Stra8. In addition, pluripotency embryonic stem cell (ESC) marker Oct4 were expressed, however Sox2 expression was lowered. Interestingly, expression of SSC markers such as Vasa, Dazl and PLZF were stronger than mouse ESC (mESC). This data suggest that generated mouse SSCs (mSSCs) in this study has at least similar biomarkers expression to mESC and mSSCs derived from other study. Immunocytochemistry using whole mSSC colony also confirmed that mSSCs generated from this study expressed SSC specific biomarkers such as c-kit, Thy1, Vasa and Dazl. In conclusion, mSSCs from 5 days old mouse testes were successfully established without sorting of spermatogonia, and this cells expressed both mESC and SSC specific biomarkers. This simple derivation method for mSSCs may facilitate the study of spermatogenesis.

Polar code의 복호 기법 중에 하나인 연속 제거 (successive cancellation; SC) 복호는 순차적으로 복호를 수행해야하는 특성으로 인해 지연시간이 길고, 복호를 위해 필요한 하드웨어 면적이 크다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 다수의 연구들이 진행되었으며, 본 논문에서는 연속 제거 복호를 기반으로 한 복호 기법을 가지치기 (pruning) 복호 기법들과 다중-경로 (multi-path) 복호기법들로 나누어 정리하였다. 가지치기 복호기법에는 SSC (simplified SC), fast-SSC, 신드롬 판단 기반 복호 등이 있으며, 다중-경로 복호 기법에는 2-비트 연속 제거 복호와 redundant-LLR 표현 기반의 복호가 있다. 본 논문에서는 SSC, fast-SSC, 신드롬 판단, 2-비트 연속 제거, 그리고 redundant-LLR 표현 기반의 복호 기법들을 지연시간과 하드웨어 면적 측면에서 비교했으며, 비교 결과 신드롬 판단 기반 복호기법이 지연시간이 가장 짧고, redundant-LLR 표현 기반의 복호가 하드웨어 면적이 가장 작은 복호 기법이다.

In petroleum refining industry, caustic (NaOH) solution is used to remove $H_2S$ from hydrocarbon streams in naphtha cracking process. Once $H_2S$ is absorbed in caustic solution, the solution becomes known as spent sulfidic caustic (SSC), which contains high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and alkalinity. This study was focused on the evaluation of autotrophic denitrification by SSC in a hybrid Bardenpho process. SSC was injected to the anoxic (1) and anoxic (2) tank at different S/N ratio. In a previous lab-scale study, as we operated a modified Ludzack-Ettinger process, it was observed that the COD increment of effluent and nitrification failure happened because of non-biodegradable matters in SSC and high pH, respectively. Thus cilia media was packed at 2.4%(v/v) in all aerobic tanks and the pH of SSC was neutralized from 13.3 to 11.5 with addition of sulphuric acid ($H_2SO_4$). Consequently, these strategies were successful because no COD increment of effluent was observed and nitrification failure did not happen. The maximum TN removal efficiency was 77.5% when SSC was injected to both the anoxic (1) and anoxic (2) tanks. The mean TN concentration of effluent in this condition was 5.8 mg/L.

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) derived from mouse testis are unipotent in regard of spermatogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that SSCs can be fully reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells, so called germline-derived pluripotent stem cells (gPS cells), on feeder cells (mouse embryonic fibroblasts), which supports SSC proliferation and induction of pluripotency. Because of an uncontrollable microenvironment caused by interactions with feeder cells, feeder-based SSC reprogramming is not suitable for elucidation of the self-reprogramming mechanism by which SSCs are converted into pluripotent stem cells. Recently, we have established a Matrigel-based SSC expansion culture system that allows longterm SSC proliferation without mouse embryonic fibroblast support. In this study, we developed a new feeder-free SSC self-reprogramming protocol based on the Matrigel-based culture system. The gPS cells generated using a feeder-free reprogramming system showed pluripotency at the molecular and cellular levels. The differentiation potential of gPS cells was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Our study shows for the first time that the induction of SSC pluripotency can be achieved without feeder cells. The newly developed feeder-free self-reprogramming system could be a useful tool to reveal the mechanism by which unipotent cells are self-reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells.
