OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템을 포함한 다중 반송파 시스템에서 발생하는 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio)을 감소시키기 위해 특정 톤 위치에 새로운 톤을 삽입하는 톤 삽입 기법은 성상도를 확장하여 최대 신호 전력을 감소시키는 기법이다. 이 기법은 추가적인 오버헤드 전송으로 인한 전송률 손실이 없다는 장점이 있는 반면, 최적의 PAPR 감소 성능을 얻기 위한 삽입 톤 결정을 위해 많은 탐색 연산량을 필요로 하는 단점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 톤 삽입 기법에 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 삽입 톤을 결정함으로써 탐색 연산량을 낮출 수 있는 새로운 유전자 알고리즘 기반의 톤 삽입 기법을 제안한다. 모의 실험을 통하여 제안한 유전자 알고리즘 기반의 톤 삽입 방법이 낮은 탐색 연산량으로도 기존 방법의 PAPR 성능에 근사할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템을 포함한 다중 반송파 시스템에서 발생하는 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 감소시키기 위해 특정 톤 위치에 새로운 톤을 삽입하는 톤 삽입 기법은 성상도를 확장하여 평균 신호전력 대비 최대 신호 전력을 감소시키는 기법이다. 이러한 톤 삽입 기법은 최적의 PAPR 저감 성능을 얻기 위한 삽입 톤 결정을 위해 많은 탐색 연산량을 필요로 함과 동시에 높은 전력상승의 문제를 야기하는 반면, 전력상승을 고려하여 삽입 톤을 결정하면 사용 가능한 톤 삽입 신호가 제한됨에 따라 PAPR 저감 성능이 낮아진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 톤 삽입 기법이 갖는 상충적인 목적들을 다목적 최적화 기법에 적용하여 PAPR 저감 성능과 전력상승을 절충하여 상호간의 유연한 조절이 가능한 가중함 유전자 알고리즘 기반의 톤 삽입 기법을 제안한다 모의 실험을 통하여 제안한 가중함 유전자 알고리즘 기반의 톤 삽입 방법은 PAPR과 전력상승의 문제를 사용자의 의사를 반영하는 가중치에 따라 적절하게 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, we examined the morphine-induced modulation of the nociceptive spinal dorsal horn neuronal activities before and after formalin-induced inflammatory pain. Intradermal injection of formalin induced time-dependent changes in the spontaneous activity of nociceptive dorsal horn neurons. In naive cats before the injection of formalin, iontophoretically applied morphine attenuated the naturally and electrically evoked neuronal responses of dorsal horn neurons. However, neuronal responses after the formalin-induced inflammation were significantly increased by morphine. Bicuculline, $GABA_A$ antagonist, increased the naturally and electrically evoked neuronal responses of dorsal horn neurons. This increase in neuronal responses due to bicuculline after the formalin-induced inflammation was larger than that in the naive state, suggesting that basal $GABA_A$ tone increased after the formalin injection. Muscimol, $GABA_A$ agonist, reduced the neuronal responses before the treatment with formalin, but not after formalin treatment, again indicating an increase in the GABAergic basal tone after the formalin injection which saturated the neuronal responses to GABA agonist. Morphine-induced increase in the spinal nociceptive responses after formalin treatment was inhibited by co-application of muscimol. These data suggest that formalin-induced inflammation increases $GABA_A$ basal tone and the inhibition of this augmented $GABA_A$ basal tone by morphine results in a paradoxical morphineinduced increase in the spinal nociceptive neuronal responses after the formalin-induced inflammation.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송 신호의 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 클리핑 잡음 (Clipping Noise)을 이용한 적응적 톤 삽입 (Adaptive Tone Injection; ATI) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 ATI 기법은 기존 TI 방법에서의 복잡도 문제를 개선하기 위해, IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) 출력 가운데 임계 진폭값 보다 큰 신호들을 클리핑 하는 과정, 클리핑된 신호에 대해 클리핑 잡음을 계산 후 주파수 영역 클리핑 잡음의 심벌 중에서 가장 큰 전력이 할당된 톤을 추출하는 과정, 추출된 톤을 확장된 성상도로 맵핑 후에 부분적으로 IFFT 하는 과정의 총 3단계로 구성된다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 ATI 기법은 맵핑이 가능한 최적의 톤을 클리핑 잡음을 이용하여 추출함으로써 기존 TI 방법에서와는 달리 본래신호와 동일한 정보를 가지는 등가 신호의 가능한 모든 조합을 필요로 하지 않으며, OFDM PAPR 감소 성능 역시 최적의 TI 방법에 근접함을 보여준다.

Experiment of active noise control on supersonic jet noise was conducted by use of microjet injection. The microjets were injected to the shear layer of the main jet through 22 small holes at the lip of a rectangular nozzle. Based on the measurement of farfield sound pressure, it was found that the jet noise was effectively reduced by several dB(in some cases up to 10 dB). The power levels of all measurement points were also reduced by use of microjet injection. The microjet affected not only the broadband noise but also the screech tone noise. The sound pressure level, the frequency of the screech tone, and the structure of the jet could be changed by the microjet. Flow visualization with schlieren technique was also made to observe the effect of microjet on the flow field.

Tone Injection (TI) scheme significantly reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of Multicarrier Modulation (MCM). However, the computational complexity of the TI scheme rises exponentially with the extra freedom constellation number. Therefore, a novel immune evolutionary mechanism-based TI scheme is proposed in this paper to reduce the computational complexity. By restraining undesirable degeneracy during the processing, this IEM scheme can dramatically increase the population fitness. Monte Carlo results show that proposed IEM-based TI scheme can achieve a significant PAPR and BER improvement with a low complexity.

본 논문은 하나의 파일롯 신호를 이용하여 다중 캐리어를 수용하는 IMT-2000 전 대역에서 동작하는 중계기용 Feedforward 선형증폭기의 설계 및 제작에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법은 기존에 나와있는 파일롯 신호 인가 방법과는 달리 하나의 파일롯 신호를 분기하여 첫번째 루프(혼변조 신호 추출 루프)와 두번째 루프(혼변조 신호 제거 루프)에 인가함으로써, 증폭기에 입력되는 입력신호의 주파수와 레벨의 변화에 따라 자동 적응적으로 혼변조 신호들을 제거하도록 설계하였다. 제작 결과 2110 MHz - 2170 MHz 주파수 범위에서 최종 출력이 20 W$_{avg}$ 일 때 임의의 20 MHz에서 IMD 특성이 -60 dBc 이하가 됨으로써 20 dB 이상을 개선시켰으며 제안된 선형증폭기는 중계기의 다중캐리어 선형증폭기로서 적합함을 확인하였다.

Objectives : It has been reported that the presence of a pharmacologically inactive foreign substance, polystyrene latex bead, in subarachnoid space activates a non-specific immunological response and elicits arterial narrowing. Recently the activation of potassium($K^+$) channels may be of benefit in relieving cerebral vasospasm. The present study examined the effects of systemic administration of a ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel activator, cromakalim, on the polystyrene latex bead-induced cerebral vasospasm. Methods : The spasm models similar to that caused by subarachnoid blood injection were created by injection of bead into rabbit cisterna magna. Intravenous injections of cromakalim were administered twice daily(bid) 30 minutes after induction of vasospasm. Animals were killed by perfusion-fixation 2 days after vasospasm. Basilar arteries were removed and sectioned, and the luminal cross-sectional areas were measured. Results : Injection of bead elicited an arterial constriction, reducing arterial diameter to 33.3% of resting tone. Cromakalim inhibited bead-induced constriction at a dose of 0.3mg/kg(Mann-Whitney test, p<0.01). Conclusion : These results support the concept that the cellular events triggered by inactivation of ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channels are responsible for the pathogenesis of vasospasm. The findings also indicate that cromakalim represents a potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm.

Background and Objectives: Systemic steroid therapy (SST) and intratympanic steroid injection (ISI) have been the treatment of choice for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We studied the effect of ISI administered at different intervals on hearing outcomes in patients with SSNHL. Subjects and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 427 patients diagnosed with SSNHL at Bundang Jesaeng Hospital, of whom 51 patients with SSNHL who received SST and four ISIs were included in this study. Patients were treated with four ISIs either every day for 4 days (group 1) or at intervals (mean duration of interval: 2.21 days) (group 2). Hearing outcomes were evaluated using the pure-tone test before the injection and 14 days, 1 month, and 3 months after the final injection. Recovery rates were classified based on Siegel's criteria. Results: The amount of improvement was 27.67 dB (±20.45) in group 1 and 32.79 dB (±21.42) in group 2. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups (p= 0.714). The recovery rates based on Siegel's criteria were 18/27 (66.7%) and 16/24 (66.7%) in groups 1 and 2, respectively, with no significant difference (p=1.000). Considering only complete recoveries in hearing recovery, the recovery rates were 15/27 (55.6%) and 14/24 (58.3%) in groups 1 and 2, respectively, with no significant difference (p=0.842). Conclusions: There were no significant differences in hearing outcomes or recovery rates after ISI administration every day or at intervals of 2-3 days.
