This study was designed to investigate the effect of treadmill exercise of low-intensity and high-intensity on the functional recovery and histological change in spinal cord injury rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were experimented(n=15) for this research. Spinal cord injury was induced by the NYU drop impacter device after laminectomy. After operation, rats were test at modified Tarlov scale at 3 days, and divided into the control group(n=5), experimental group I(n=5, low-intensity treadmill) and experimental group II(n=5, high-intensity treadmill). The rats were disciplined from 7 day through 21 day. Functional recovery was evaluated by the BBB scales and the Grid Walk test for the progressive locomotor recovery at 3, 7, 14, 21 days. Histopathological studies for the muscle in order to observation the change of damage and size of the organized surface which is visible visually it executed hematoxylin & eosin stain. According to the result of 4 weeks of treadmill exercise, group II showed improvement than group I of motor behavior after spinal cord injury.

The investigation on wind farm design using CFD technique was carried out to reduce turbulence intensity in a wind farm. A potential wind farm in Gasiri of Jeju Island was selected for the design and the commercial S/W of Meteodyn WT was used for applying CFD technique. The initial layout of wind turbines was derived using WindPRO which is mainly used for wind farm design in Korea. Then, the distribution of turbulence intensity on complex terrain was calculated and visible by Meteodyn WT. Based on the distribution, wind turbines were positioned properly. As a result, wind turbines could be deployed at positions with minimum turbulence intensity as well as maximum Annual Energy Production, AEP, using Meteodyn WT. It is necessary to take into account turbulence intensity in wind farm design to avoid wind turbine failure.

흰 쥐 내피세포의 배양에 있어서 세포골격단백의 변화 양상과 심근세포와의 공존 배양시의 영향 그리고 colchicine 이 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 monoclonal antibodies를 이용한 간접면역형광법으로 actin과 tubulin염색을 시행하여 microtubule과 microfilament의 변화 양상을 일령별로 관찰하였다. 실험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 세포질이 넓게 퍼지고 많은 돌기를 가진 세포에서 섬유사형태의 반응이 강하였으며 내피세포가 단층을 형성하면서 섬유사형태의 반응이 약해졌다. 심근세포를 혼합배양한 군에서 내피세포가 단층을 형성하면서 microtubule은 대조군과 같은 수준으로 섬유사형태의 반응이 감소하였으나 microfilament는 여전히 강한 섬유사형태의 반응을 유지하였다. Colchicine을 처리한 군에서 microfilament는 대조군과의 차이점이 발견되지 않았으나 microtubule에서는 colchicine 처리 직후부터 섬유사 형태의 감소경향을 보였으며 1일 이후가 가장 현저한 감소를 보이다가 2일 이후에는 대조군의 수준으로 돌아왔다.

We produced a basic system of sterilization of nutrient solution based on the characteristics of coated filter with the visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst according to the findings of the first stage. We developed a model system with a proper number and arrangement of filter elements, the visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst according to findings from the basic performance test. Main results of this study were as followers; The ceramic filters showed the best performance of sterilization of nutrient solution. The visible light-reactive titanium oxide photocatalyst sterilized more effectively the nutrient solution under the sunlight than UV light. The sterilization performance by passing repeatedly through a few filter was more efficient than that by treating simultaneously with a large number of filters. The filter with 15ppi in pore size, 20 mm in thickness, and 3 layers in titanium oxide coating was desirable in the intensity and sterilization performance.

In Projection Stereolithography Apparatus (PSLA), Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are used as a beam pattern generator. The DMD shows high resolution, but it is mostly applied in micro stereolithography due to high cost and fabricable area. In LCD, the size of pattern beam is freely controlled due to various panel sizes. The LCD, however, has some limitations such as short life time by the high power light source, non-uniform light intensity of pattern beam and low transmittance of UV-light. To solve these problems in LCD-based PSLA, a Scanbeam-SLA with LCD of 19 inches and visible LED-array is developed. In this system, the light module works like a scanner for uniform illumination. The system configuration, working principle and fabrication examples are addressed in this study.

In the field of visible light communication (VLC), light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for transmitting data via visible light. In this study, we analyze pulse dual slope modulation (PDSM) as a means of delivering information in VLC. PDSM involves the modulation of symmetrical slope pulses to encode binary 0s and 1s, and owing to the moderately increasing and decreasing pulse shapes that are created, this method enables more spectral efficiency than the variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) technique currently adopted in IEEE 802.15.7. In particular, PDSM allows for the avoidance of intra-frame flicker by providing idle pulses in a spectrum-efficient way. A simple detection scheme is proposed for PDSMsignals, and its bit error rate (BER) is analyzed mathematically at varying slopes to validate the process through simulation. The BER performance of PDSM detection using dual sampling is compared to the performances of PDSM and VPPM using correlation detection. It is found that, when the probability of idle pulse transmission is less than 0.08 and higher than 0, the BER of dual sampling PDSM is lower than that of PDSM using correlation detection over the entire light intensity range.

Engineering ceramics as sapphire are widely used in industry owing to their superior mechanical and corrosion properties. However, micromachining of sapphire is a considerable challenge due to its transparency. Recently, direct ablation of sapphire has been demonstrated with a visible laser pulse at sufficiently high laser intensity. In this work, the theoretical model for pulsed laser ablation of sapphire is suggested and numerical analysis is carried out using the model. Sapphire ablation begins with plasma generation by the laser interaction with surface defects, impurities and contaminations in the initial stage of machining. Subsequent absorption of the visible laser beam can be explained by three mechanisms: metalization of sapphire surface due to the EUV radiation from the hot plasma, increments of surface roughness and temperature-dependent absorption coefficient. Comparison of the computation results with experimental observation indicates that the proposed model of sapphire is reasonable.

We report on the visible photoluminescence of the Tb/Yb co-doped alumino-germano-silicate fibers for visible fiber laser application. By changing the concentration ratios of $Tb^{3+}$ to $Yb^{3+}$, we optimized the solution doping conditions and obtained the highest emission efficiency at 546nm. The luminescence intensity at 546nm was found to increase with the relative increase of $Tb^{3+}$ ions.

In this study, we consider visible light communication in an indoor line-of-sight environment. It has been proved that among the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques, spatial modulation (SM) performs better than repetition coding (RC) and spatial multiplexing (SMP). On the basis of a combination of SM and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), here, we propose an enhanced SM algorithm to improve the bit error rate. Traditional SM activates only one light-emitting diode (LED) at one time, and the proposed enhanced SM activates two LEDs at one time and reduces the intensity levels of PAM by half. Under the condition of a highly correlated channel, power imbalance is used to improve the algorithm performance. The comparison between the two schemes is implemented at the same signal-to-noise ratio. The simulation results illustrate that the enhanced SM outperforms the traditional SM in both highly correlated and lowly correlated channels. Furthermore, the proposed enhanced SM scheme can increase the transmission rate in most cases.

Structure and optical properties of cadmium sulphide-zinc oxide composite nanorods have been evaluated by suitable characterization techniques. The X-ray diffraction spectrum contains a series of peaks corresponding to reflections from various sets of lattice planes of hexagonal ZnO as well as CdS. The above observation is supported by the Micro-Raman spectroscopy result. The optical reflectance spectra of CdS-ZnO is compared with that of ZnO where we observe an enhanced absorption and hence diminished reflection from CdS-ZnO compared to that from only ZnO. A very small intensity of the visible photoluminescence peak observed at 550 nm proves that the ZnO nanorods have very low concentrations of point defects such as oxygen vacancies and zinc interstitials. The photocurrent in the visible region has been significantly enhanced due to deposition of CdS on the surface of the ZnO nanorods. CdS acts as a visible sensitizer because of its lower band gap compared to ZnO.
