In recent years, the goal of providing high speed wireless data services has generated a great amount of interest among the research community. Several researchers have shown that the capacity of the system, in the presence of flat Rayleigh fading, improves significantly with the use of combined MIMO and LDPC. To feed the soft values to LDPC decoder, the soft values must be calculated from multiple transmitter and receiver antennas in Rayleigh fading channel. It requires high computational complexity to get the soft symbols by increasing number of transmitter and receiver antennas. Therefore, this thesis proposed on effective algorithm for calculation of soft values from multiple antennas based on LLR. As result, This thesis shows that maximum 61% of computational complexity is reduced with a little loss of performance.

In this paper, we described DVB-S2 system for mobility. cross layer coding technique are needed to maintain the performance in deep fading channel. Cross layer coding is divided into two kinds of level. First level is Physical layer coding and, second layer is link layer or upper layer coding. Fixed on DVB-S2 short frame coding method as a physical layer, we simulated the various coding method as an upper layer coding. Furthermore, we analyzed the performance of each coding method on according to mobile vehicle speed, data rate, interleaving memory size, and IP packet size.

PTH cracks are caused by the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) between polymer and laminated materials, and are one of the main failure mechanisms of multi layer boards. In spite of its importance, it is usually hard to measure or detect them because of its small size and invisibility. To detect PTH cracks more effectively, this paper proposes a theoretical model that can estimate the resistance value from crack size of PTHs. Using four-point probe resistance measurement method, the resistance value of test coupons is measured. Through measured data, we verify the validity of the proposed theoretical model and set up criteria of failure.

In a course of obtaining more amount of bioactive costunolide and successive phytochemical isolation from Magnolia sieboldii (Magnoliaceae), a novel acyclic monoterpene 1 named deoxygeraniol (2,6(E)-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene) was isolated along with $\beta$-sitosterol 3-O-linoleate (2), trilinolein (3) and high amount of costunolide (4) in the pure state. The structure of compound 1 was determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. Costunolide was found to induce apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner by nucleosomal DNA ladder and flow cytometric analysis. Immunoblot analysis showed that the level of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2, was decreased, whereas the cleavage of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase was, activated furthermore, the N-acetyl-L-cysteine antioxidant effectively prevented costunolide-induced cytotoxicity. These results suggest that costunolide-induced cell death is mediated by reactive oxygen species.

Phleichrome, a pigment produced by the phytopathogenic fungus Cladosporium phlei, is a fungal perylenequinone whose photodynamic activity has been studied intensively. To determine the biological function of phleichrome and to engineer a strain with enhanced production of phleichrome, we identified the gene responsible for the synthesis of phleichrome. Structural comparison of phleichrome with other fungal perylenequinones suggested that phleichrome is synthesized via polyketide pathway. We recently identified four different polyketide synthase (PKS) genes encompassing three major clades of fungal PKSs that differ with respect to reducing conditions for the polyketide product. Based on in silico analysis of cloned genes, we hypothesized that the non-reducing PKS gene, Cppks1, is involved in phleichrome biosynthesis. Increased accumulation of Cppks1 transcript was observed in response to supplementation with the application of synthetic inducer cyclo-(${_L}-Pro-{_L}-Phe$). In addition, heterologous expression of the Cppks1 gene in Cryphonectria parasitica resulted in the production of phleichrome. These results provide convincing evidence that the Cppks1 gene is responsible for the biosynthesis of phleichrome.

White polymeric light-emitting devices (WPLEDs) have been fabricated from polyfluorene-based (PFO) blue and MEH-PPV polymer blending systems. A device structure of ITO / PEDOT:PSS / Blending polymer / Blue polymer / LiF / Al was employed. This structure of double emission layers showed significant improvement of white color shift phenomenon. A current efficiency of 4.67 cd/A (3,900 $cd/m^{2}$, 6.4 V) and a brightness value of 17,600 $cd/m^{2}$ at 9.4 V with (0.34, 0.35) CIE coordinates at 5 V and (0.29, 0.29) at 9 V were achieved achieved.

Designing communication architecture for substation automation is a challenging and subtle task for visualizing substations in the digital world under the umbrella of IEC61850. Communication paradigms for substation automation are of critical importance because of two reasons; the communication arena is changing daily and opts for convenience and simple deployment at a lower migration cost and interoperability is one of the core constrains of IEC61850 for substation automation. This paper presents an analysis and outline of the crucial need for the deployment of Gigabit Ethernet in substations and also presents suggestions on how Ethernet technology can help in substation automation. Ethernet is one of the most pervasive communication technologies available and can provide a long term solution in the changing arena of communication. We have performed simulations in NS-2 to prove that our suggested communication paradigm is optimal in various regards with consideration of the constraints imposed by IEC61850.

This paper gives derivations of voltage collapse conditions by using the Lyapunov function, which yields the exactly same results with the sensitivity analysis approach. On the other hand, the voltage collapse phenomenon is interpreted in the physical sense, and causes of the static voltage unstability and the dynamic voltage unstability are analyzed with the use of proposed Lyapunov function. In addition a new method is developed to calculate the power capacity limit of transmission lines with respect to voltage stability. This paper shows that it is able to analyze the voltage collapse with the Lyapunov direct method in the simple 2-bus system and proposes that the method works well by observing the variation of Lyapunov function as the load is increased in the system.

DVB-SSP is a new broadcasting system for hybrid satellite communications, which supports mobile handheld systems and fixed terrestrial systems. An upper layer, including erasure Reed-Solomon error correction combined with cyclic redundancy check. However, a critical factor must be considered in upper layer decoding. If there is only one bit error in an IP packet, the entire IP packet is considered as unreliable bytes, even if it contains correct bytes. If, for example, there is one real byte error, in an IP packet of 512 bytes, 511 correct bytes are erased from the frame. Therefore, this paper proposed upper layer decoding methods; LLR-based decoding. By means of simulation we show that the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to that of the conventional one.

In this article, we investigated the various influencing factors that degraded the lifetime of suspension insulators in 154 kV transmission lines, and showed the possible solutions to avoid such breakdowns. With respect to achieve safety, reliability and aesthetical considerations, the characteristics of transmission and distribution network power cables should be improved. Suspension insulators are particularly important to study, as they have developed to be the main component of transmission lines due to their ability to withstand the electrical conductivity of high-voltage power transmission. Suspension insulators are mostly made from glass, rubber and ceramic material due to their high resistivity. In Korea, porcelain suspension insulators are typically used in the transmission line system, as they are cheaper and more flexible compared to other types of insulators. This is effective from preventing very high and steep lightening impulse voltages from causing the breakdown of suspension insulators used in power lines. Other influential factors affect the lifetime of suspension insulators that we studied include temperature, water moisture, contamination, mechanical vibration and electrical stress.
