본 논문은 QPSK 변조방식을 사용하는 W-CDMA 사용자 설비 시스템에서 진폭 불균형 및 위상 불균형과 같은 RF I/Q 성능열화 요인들에 의한 시스템 성능열화 현상을 다루었다. I/Q 진폭 및 위상 에러에 의한 인접 심볼 간 거리변화를 이용하여 BER 성능 열화를 분석하였고, Matlab 시뮬레이션을 통해 I/Q 진폭 및 위상 에러에 의한 BER 성능열화를 검토하였다. 테스트를 고려하여 구현된 RF 트랜시버와 변복조 측정 장비를 이용하여 성능열화를 에러 벡터 크기 값으로 측정함으로써 하드웨어 구현관점에서 W-CDMA사용자 설비 시스템의 I/Q 진폭 및 위상 에러에 관한 최소 성능요구 사항과 성능열화 요인 측정 방법을 제시하였다.

A novel multifocus image fusion algorithm based on NSCT is proposed in this paper. In order to not only attain the image focusing properties and more visual information in the fused image, but also sensitive to the human visual perception, a local multidirection variance (LEOV) fusion rule is proposed for lowpass subband coefficient. In order to introduce more visual saliency, a modified local contrast is defined. In addition, according to the feature of distribution of highpass subband coefficients, a direction vector is proposed to constrain the modified local contrast and construct the new fusion rule for highpass subband coefficients selection The NSCT is a flexible multiscale, multidirection, and shift-invariant tool for image decomposition, which can be implemented via the atrous algorithm. The proposed fusion algorithm based on NSCT not only can prevent artifacts and erroneous from introducing into the fused image, but also can eliminate 'block effect' and 'frequency aliasing' phenomenon. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved better fusion results than wavelet-based and CT-based fusion method in contrast and clarity.

This study explored yeast diauxic promoters using a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter to screen growth phase-controlled promoters applicable for foreign protein production. Twenty-five diauxic promoters were inserted into a yeast 2-micron vector in front of the reporter GFP gene. The expressed GFP signal intensity measurements showed that 23 out of the 25 promoters produced a significant fluorescent signal when the cells were in the diauxic growth phase. Among the two strongest promoters pYDL204W and pYLR258W, the former remained constantly active after its activation at the diauxic shift, whereas the latter was only transiently activated right after the deprivation of the medium glucose.

This paper presents a power-efficient hardware realization for a motion estimation technique that is based on the full-search block matching algorithm (FSBMA). The considered input is the quarter common intermediate format of digital video. The mean of absolute difference (MAD) is the distortion criteria employed for the block matching process. The conventional architecture considered for the hardware realization of FSBMA is that of the shift register-based 2-D systolic array. For this architecture, a conservative approximation technique is adapted to eliminate unnecessary MAD computations involved in the block matching process. Upon introducing the technique to the conventional architecture, the power and complexity of its implantation is reduced, while the accuracy of the motion vector extracted from the block matching process is preserved. The proposed architecture is verified for its functional specifications. A performance evaluation of the proposed architecture is carried out using parameters such as power, area, operating frequency, and efficiency.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터파 대역에서의 Giga-bit 모뎀을 위한 BASK 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템의 송신단은 입력신호의 pulse shaping을 위해 고속의 shutter를 사용하며, ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference)를 최소화 할 수 있고, 수신단은 SNR 개선과 rectangular pulse train을 만들기 위해 repeater를 사용한다. Repeter는 몇 개의 converter로 이루어져 있으며, converter는 low pass filter와 limiter로 구성된다. 또한, 수신된 신호에서 발생하는 랜덤 오류를 정정하기 위해 viterbi 알고리즘을 사용하여 BER을 개선 시켰다. 제안한 시스템은 Direct Conversion 방식으로 IF처리과정이 없으므로 시스템이 매우 간단하다.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 분산에 의한 직교 주파수 분할 다중방식(OFDM: orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)의 부 반송파 신호왜곡에 대해 조사하였다. 광섬유 색 분산은 OFDM 신호 간의 위상차를 발생시키고, 이는 OFDM 신호 왜곡을 유기하는 비대칭 첨두전력대 평균전력 비율을 유기한다. 광섬유 분산의 영향을 확인하기 위한 실험은 직접검출 광 모바일 프론트홀 시스템에서 수행하였다. 4 Gbit/s의 QPSK-OFDM 심볼의 경우, 100 km 전송에서 EVM이 40 %에 도달함을 확인하였다.

We have investigated a coronal jet near the limb on 2010 June 27 by Hinode/X-Ray Telescope (XRT), EUV Imaging Spectrograph (EIS), SDO/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), and STEREO. From EUV (AIA and EIS) and soft X-ray (XRT) images we identify the erupting jet feature in cool and hot temperatures. Using the high temporal and multi wavelength AIA images, we found that the hot jet preceded its associated cool jet and their structures are well consistent with the numerical simulation of the emerging flux-reconnection model. From the spectroscopic analysis, we found that the jet structure changes from blue shift to red one with time, which may indicate the helical structure of the jet. The STEREO observation, which enables us to observe this jet on the disk, shows that there was a dim loop associated with the jet. On the other hand, we found that the structure of its associated active region seen in STEREO is similar to that in AIA observed 5 days before. Based on this fact, we compared the jet morphology on the limb with the magnectic fields extrapolated from a HMI vector magnetogram of this active region observed on the disk. Interestingly, the comparison shows that the open and closed magnetic field configuration correspond to the jet and the dim loop, respectively, as the Shibata's jet model predicted.

Chemical poisoning of Ni/MgO catalyst was induced by hot alkali carbonate vapor in molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), and the poisoned (or contaminated) catalyst was characterized by TPR/TPO, FTIR, and XRD analysis. Carbonate electrolytes such as K and Li were transferred to the catalyst during DIR-MCFC operation at 650 ℃. The deposition of alkali species on the catalyst consequently led to physical blocking on catalytic active sites and structural deformation by chemical poisoning. TPR/TPO analysis indicated that K species enhanced the reducibility of NiO thin film over Ni as co-catalyst, and Li species lessened the reducibility of metallic Ni by chemical reaction with MgO. FTIR analysis of the poisoned catalyst did not exhibit the characteristic ${\vector}_1$$(D_{3h})$ peaks (1055 $cm^{-1},\;1085\;cm{-1})$ for pure crystalline carbonates, instead a new peak (1120 $cm^{-1})$ was observed proportionally with deformed alkali carbonates. From XRD analysis, the oxidation of metallic Ni into $Ni_xMg_{1-x}O$ was confirmed by the peak shift of MgO with shrinking of Ni particles. Conclusively, hot alkali species induced both chemical poisoning and physical deposition on Ni/MgO catalyst in DIR-MCFC at 650 ℃.

Multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is widely applied in wireless communication by virtue of its excellent properties in data transmission rate and transmission accuracy. However, as a major drawback of MIMO-OFDM systems, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) complicates the design of the power amplifier at the receiver end. Some available PAPR reduction methods such as selective mapping (SLM) suffer from high computational complexity. In this paper, a low-complexity SLM method based on active constellation extension (ACE) and joint space-time selective mapping (AST-SLM) for reducing PAPR in Alamouti STBC MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed. In SLM scheme, two IFFT operations are required for obtaining each transmission sequence pair, and the selected phase vector is transmitted as side information(SI). However, in the proposed AST-SLM method, only a few IFFT operations are required for generating all the transmission sequence pairs. The complexity of AST-SLM is at least 86% less than SLM. In addition, the SI needed in AST-SLM is at least 92.1% less than SLM by using the presented blind detection scheme to estimate SI. We show, analytically and with simulations, that AST-SLM can achieve significant performance of PAPR reduction and close performance of bit error rate (BER) compared to SLM scheme.

In this study, machine learning (ML) techniques were used to model surveillance test data of nuclear power plants from an international database of the ASTM E10.02 committee. Regression modeling was conducted using various techniques, including Cubist, XGBoost, and a support vector machine. The root mean square deviation of each ML model for the baseline dataset was less than that of the ASTM E900-15 nonlinear regression model. With respect to the interpolation, the ML methods provided excellent predictions with relatively few computations when applied to the given data range. The effect of the explanatory variables on the transition temperature shift (TTS) for the ML methods was analyzed, and the trends were slightly different from those for the ASTM E900-15 model. ML methods showed some weakness in the extrapolation of the fluence in comparison to the ASTM E900-15, while the Cubist method achieved an extrapolation to a certain extent. To achieve a more reliable prediction of the TTS, it was confirmed that advanced techniques should be considered for extrapolation when applying ML modeling.
