In this paper, we propose a distributed signal subspace interference alignment algorithm for single beam K-user ($3K{\geq}$) MIMO interference channel based on sum rate maximization and game theory. A framework of game theory is provided to study relationship between interference signal subspace and altruistic-egoistic bayesian game cost function. We demonstrate that the asymptotic interference alignment under proposed scheme can be realized through a numerical algorithm using local channel state information at transmitters and receivers. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve the total degrees of freedom that is equivalent to the Cadambe-Jafar interference alignment algorithms with perfect channel state information. Furthermore, proposed scheme can effectively minimize leakage interference in desired signal subspace at each receiver and obtain a moderate average sum rate performance compared with several existing interference alignment schemes.

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effect of inner surface roughness and micro-particles on adiabatic single phase frictional pressure drop in a perfect square micro channel. With the variation of particles sizes (0.1 to $1{\mu}m$) and occupied volume ratio (0.01 to 10%) by particles, the Eulerian multi-phase model is applied to a $100{\mu}m$ hydraulic diameter perfect square micro channel in laminar flow region. Frictional pressure loss is affected significantly by particle size than occupied volume ratio by particles. The particle properties like density and coefficient of restitution are investigated with various particle materials and the density of particle is found as an influential factor. Roughness effect on pressure drop in the micro channel is investigated with the consideration of roughness height, pitch, and distribution. Additionally, the combination effect by particles and surface roughness are simulated. The pressure loss in microchannel with 2.5% relative roughness surface can be increased more than 20% by the addition of $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter particles.

This study proposes a single-channel satellite remote sensing algorithm for retrieving aerosol optical thickness over global ocean using FY-1C/1D data. An efficient lookup table (LUT)method is adopted in this algorithm to generate apparent reflectance in channel 1 and channel 2 of FY-1C/1D over ocean. The algorithm scale the apparent reflectance in cloud-free conditions to aerosol optical thickness using a state-of-art radiative transfer model 6S with input of the relative spectral response of channel 1 and 2 of FY-1C/1D. Monthly mean composite maps of the aerosol optical thickness have been obtained from FY-1C/1D global area coverage data between 2001 and 2003. Aerosol optical thickness maps can show the major aerosol source which are located off the west coast of northern and southern Africa, Arabian Sea and India Ocean. These result is very similar to other satellite sensors such as AVHRR and MODIS in the location area of heavy aerosol optical thickness over global ocean. The algorithm have been used to FY-1D operational performance and it is the first operational aerosol remote sensing product in China.

[ $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ ] 파장대의 중적외선 영상은 화산 활동이나 산불과 같이 고온 현상을 관측하는데 효과적이다. 그러나 중적외선 영역은 지표의 복사율과 대기의 영향으로 인한 변화가 매우 심하고, 특히 낮 영상의 경우 태양 복사량에 의한 영향도 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 단일밴드인 중적외선 영상을 이용하여 표면온도를 얻기 위해서는 영상이 취득된 시간과 장소에서 관측된 태양 복사량 및 여러 가지 대기 변수가 필요하다. 이 연구는 기존의 다중밴드 기반의 중적외선 영상 활용방법과 달리 단일 밴드 중적외선 영상을 이용하여 표면온도 측정을 위한 기초연구에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 MODIS 영상을 대상으로 MODTRAN을 사용하여 중적외선 영역의 대기보정 기법을 적용 한 뒤 복사전달 모델을 이용하여 지표의 온도를 측정하였다. 획득된 온도 영상의 정밀도를 측정하기 위해 기존의 온도 알고리즘인 MODIS Sea Surface Temperature 알고리즘에 의해 얻어진 해수온도와 비교를 통하여 오차 원인에 대해 분석을 실시하였다. 두 결과의 온도차는 낮 영상의 경우 $0.89{\pm}0.54^{\circ}C$ 밤 영상의 경우 $1.25{\pm}0.41^{\circ}C$로 비교적 긍정적인 결과를 보였다. 그러나 낮 영상의 육지의 경우 대기에 의한 영향보다 태양빛의 반사가 주된 오차의 원인이 되며 이는 지표 복사율에 의한 영향이 매우 크게 작용하고 있음을 추정할 수 있다. 이 연구는 현재까지 해수에 대한 적용에 국한된 것으로 육상의 경우 복사율 변화가 매우 크기 때문에 중적외선 단일밴드에 의한 온도추정이 매우 어려울 것으로 예상된다.

The prediction of pressure drop for a droplet flow in a confined micro channel is presented using FE-FTM (Finite Element - Front Tracking Method). A single droplet is passing through 5:1:5 contraction - straight narrow channel - expansion flow domain. The pressure drop is investigated especially when the droplet flows in the straight narrow channel. We explore the effects of droplet size, capillary number (Ca), viscosity ratio ($\chi$) between droplet and medium, and fluid elasticity represented by the Oldroyd-B constitutive model on the excess pressure drop (${\Delta}p^+$) against single phase flow. The tightly fitted droplets in the narrow channel are mainly considered in the range of $0.001{\leq}Ca{\leq}1$ and $0.01{\leq}{\chi}{\leq}100$. In Newtonian droplet/Newtonian medium, two characteristic features are observed. First, an approximate relation ${\Delta}p^+{\sim}{\chi}$ observed for ${\chi}{\geq}1$. The excess pressure drop necessary for droplet flow is roughly proportional to $\chi$. Second, ${\Delta}p^+$ seems inversely proportional to Ca, which is represented as ${\Delta}p^+{\sim}Ca^m$ with negative m irrespective of $\chi$. In addition, we observe that the film thickness (${\delta}_f$) between droplet interface and channel wall decreases with decreasing Ca, showing ${\delta}_f{\sim}Ca^n$ Can with positive n independent of $\chi$. Consequently, the excess pressure drop (${\Delta}p^+$) is strongly dependent on the film thickness (${\delta}_f$). The droplets larger than the channel width show enhancement of ${\Delta}p^+$, whereas the smaller droplets show no significant change in ${\Delta}p^+$. Also, the droplet deformation in the narrow channel is affected by the flow history of the contraction flow at the entrance region, but rather surprisingly ${\Delta}p^+$ is not affected by this flow history. Instead, ${\Delta}p^+$ is more dependent on ${\delta}_f$ irrespective of the droplet shape. As for the effect of fluid elasticity, an increase in ${\delta}_f$ induced by the normal stress difference in viscoelastic medium results in a drastic reduction of ${\Delta}p^+$.

많은 강과 하천에서 하나의 대표적인 유량이 안정하도 형태를 결정하는데 사용되어 질 수 있다. 이러한 대표적인 하도형성유량은 여러 연구자들의 접근 방식의 차이에 따라 강턱유량, 특정 재현기간유량, 유효유량 등으로 표시된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대상유역의 특성인자와 관측자료를 이용하여 하도형성유량을 산정하고, 강턱유량과 수리기하 특성간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 문막과 서면 수위관측소에서 하도형성유량으로 결정된 강턱유량의 재현기간은 유출량 자료를 빈도분석한 결과, 문막은 1.8년, 서면은 1.5년으로 산정되었으며, 유효유량은 강턱유량에 비해 10배 이상 작게 산정되었다. 강턱유량과 수리기하특성과의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 유역면적과 강턱유량은 어느 정도 상관성이 있으나 강턱유량과 수리기하간의 상관성은 낮은 것으로 분석되었다.

Potassium channels in human skin fibroblast have been studied as a possible site of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. Fibroblasts in Alzheimer disease show alterations in signal transduction pathway such as changes in $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis and/or $Ca^{2+}-activated$ kinases, phosphatidylinositol cascade, protein kinase C activity, cAMP levels and absence of specific $K^+$ channel. However, little is known so far about electrophysiological and pharmacological characteristics of large-conductance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^+$ ($BK_{Ca}$) channel in human fibroblast (CRL-1474). In the present study, we found Iberiotoxin- and TEA-sensitive outward rectifying oscillatory current with whole-cell recordings. Single channel analysis showed large conductance $K^{+}$ channels (106 pS of chord conductance at +40 mV in physiological $K^+$ gradient). The 106 pS channels were activated by membrane potential and $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, consistent with the known properties of $BK_{Ca}$ channels. $BK_{Ca}$ channels in CRL-1474 were positively regulated by adenylate cyclase activator ($10{\mu}M$ forskolin), 8-Br-cyclic AMP ($300{\mu}M$) or 8-Br-cyclic GMP ($300{\mu}M$). These results suggest that human skin fibroblasts (CR-1474) have typical $BK_{Ca}$ channel and this channel could be modulated by c-AMP and c-GMP. The electrophysiological characteristics of fibroblasts might be used as the diagnostic clues for Alzheimer disease.

ZnO-based thin film transistors (TFTs) are of great interest for application in next generation flat panel displays. Most research has been based on amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) TFTs, rather than single binary oxides, such as ZnO, due to the reproducibility, uniformity, and surface smoothness of the IGZO active channel layer. However, recently, intrinsic ZnO-TFTs have been investigated, and TFT- arrayss have been demonstrated as prototypes of flat-panel displays and electronic circuits. However, ZnO thin films have some significant problems for application as an active channel layer of TFTs; it was easy to change the electrical properties of the i-ZnO thin films under external conditions. The variable electrical properties lead to unstable TFTs device characteristics under bias stress and/or temperature. In order to obtain higher performance and more stable ZnO-based TFTs, HZO thin film was used as an active channel layer. It was expected that HZO-TFTs would have more stable electrical characteristics under gate bias stress conditions because the binding energy of Hf-O is greater than that of Zn-O. For deposition of HZO thin films, Hf would be substituted with Zn, and then Hf could be suppressed to generate oxygen vacancies. In this study, the fabrication of the oxide-based TFTs with HZO active channel layer was reported with excellent stability. Application of HZO thin films as an active channel layer improved the TFT device performance and bias stability, as compared to i-ZnO TFTs. The excellent negative bias temperature stress (NBTS) stability of the device was analyzed using the HZO and i-ZnO TFTs transfer curves acquired at a high temperature (473 K).

The study on the flow characteristics and analysis of groundwater in discontinuous rock mass is very important, since the water inflow into the underground opening during excavation induces serious stability and environmental problems. To investigate the flow through single rock joint, the effect of various aperture distribution on the groundwater flow has been analyzed. Observed through the analysis is the "channel flow", the phenomenon that the flow is dominant along the path of large aperture for given joint. The equivalent hydraulic conductivity is estimated and verified through the application of the joint network analysis for 100 joint maps generated statistically. Both the analytic aproach based on isotropic continuum premise and the joint network analysis are tested and compared analyzing the gorundwater inflow for underground openings of different sizes and varying joint density. The joint network analysis is considered better to reflect the geometric properties of joint distribution in analyzing the groundwater flow.ater flow.

In this paper, design algorithms for SMP(Single Mated Pair) and MMP (Multipli Mated Pair) structure of CCS (Common Channel Signaling) network are proposed through the study of the structure of CCS network. High reliability and fast messagy transfer time are the most important requirements for the CCS network. Based on it, three parameters such as monotraffic, reliability (maximum isolated SP(Signalling Point) number when any two STP(Signalling Transfer Points) fail and total network cost are defined. And the proposed algorithms different from preexisted algorithm that minimizes total network cost, maximize monotraffic with two constraints, reliability and total network cost. Comparing the experimental results of the proposed algorithms with those of the preexisted algorithm that minimizes total network cost, shows that the proposed algorithms produce a more reliable topology that has more monotraffic and a little higher total network cost. Additionaly, with the results of the proposed algorithms, SMP and MMP structures are compared.
