중추신경계돠 자율신경계에 나타난 후각에 의한 감성변화를 측정하기 위해 후각자극은 0.6% 오렌지향과 2.5% valeric acid를 수증기로 포화시키는 후각 자극기를 통해 일정 flow와 농도로 시행하였다. 대조자극은 방안 공기로 향자극 전후에 시행하였으며 뇌파자극은 international 10-20 systim에서 4채널을 사용하였다. 이외에 ECG, EOG, heart rate, skin conductance와 respiration를 기록하였고 뇌파분석은 fast Fourier tuansform analysis의 power spectra로 하였다. 그 frequency banes는 delta(0-4.5Hz), theta(4.5-7Hz)은 쾌하고 친숙하게 valeric acid는 불쾌하고 성가시게 평가되었다. 뇌파분석에서 쾌와 불쾌 자극간의 차이는 PG2-A2 channel 에서 alphal의 자극전후의 차이를 나타내었으며 불유쾌한 자극에서는 모든 channel alphal, alpha2와 beta파 증가를 보였다. 또한 heart rate, galvaric skin resistance는 쾌자극에서 감소양상을 나타내었으며 불쾌자극에서는 반대경향을 보였다. 호흡에서는 쾌자극에서 호흡수 감소경향과 input/output amplitude dutation와 duration의 증가경향을 보였으며 불쾌자극에서는 반대양상을 보였다. 결론적으로 쾌와 불쾌 후각자극으로 감성변화를 뇌파와 자율신경계에서 볼 수 있었다.

This study describes the emotion classification using two different feature extraction methods for four-channel EEG signals. One of the methods is linear prediction analysis based on AR model. Another method is cross-correlation coefficients on frequencies of ${\theta}$, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ bands. Using the linear predictor coefficients and the cross-correlation coefficients of frequencies, the emotion classification test for four emotions, such as anger, sad, joy, and relaxation is performed with a neural network. Comparing the results of two methods, it seems that the linear predictor coefficients produce the better results than the cross-correlation coefficients of frequencies for-emotion classification.

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is a rare inherited channelopathy that often presents with episodic weakness accompanied by hypokalemia. Thus far, mutations in the gene encoding two ion channels (CACNL1A3, L-type calcium channel alpha-1 subunit and SCN4A, a sodium channel type IV alpha subunit) have been identified. Several cases of familial hypoPP in children have been reported in Koreans, but there are only a few cases with identified mutations. We report a 12-year-old boy and his affected mother with hypoPP who has a heterozygous G to A substitution at codon 1239 in exon 30 of the CACNL1A3 gene that causes a change from arginine to histidine (Arg1239His, CACNL1A3). This mutation is common among Caucasians; however, it has not yet been reported in Koreans. The patients were treated with oral acetazolamide and potassium replacement and were instructed to avoid precipitating factors. After the medication and lifestyle modification, the paralytic attacks significantly decreased.

An experimental investigation is carried out on the failure mechanism of foam concrete with cold formed steel double C-Channels embedment. The foam concrete is made of cement and fly ash with a compressive strength between 9 and 24 MPa with different densities. Forty-eight tests have been carried out in four groups of specimens with various embedment depths of the steel in the concrete. Four modes of failure are observed, which include the independent failure of the C-Channels with and without a concrete block inside the channel as well as the combined failure of the two channels, and the failure of the extrusion block. A theoretical model has been developed to understand the failure process. The peak compressive force applied onto the C-Channels that causes failure is calculated. It is concluded that the failure involves independent slippage between two C-Channels, and the steel and the foam concrete blocks inside the C-Channels. A method to calculate the peak force is also developed based on the test results. The calculations also show that the shear strength of the foam concrete is about 8% of the compressive strength with ${\alpha}$ coefficient of 0.4 between the steel and concrete.

In the present study, the second order response surface method (RSM) is carried out to get optimum thermal design for enhancing heat transfer in a square channel with bleed flow. The RSM is used as an optimization technique. To calculate the heat transfer, RNG k-epsilon model and enhanced wall function are used. To design optimum rib turbulators, two design variables such as attack angle of rib $({\alpha})$ and rib pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) are optimized. In these analyses, the channel inlet Reynolds number was fixed at 10,000 in both non-bleeding and bleeding cases. The response surfaces of two design variables are constructed in cases with and without bleed flow. As a result, the optimum (or highest) heat transfer values are almost the same in ranges of two cases with and without bleed flow. However, the friction losses in the case with bleed flow are lower than those without bleed flow.

Turbulent flow over a fully-developed wavy channel is investigated by the nonlinear $k-\varepsilon-f_\mu$ model of Park et al.⁽¹⁾ The Reynolds number is fixed at $Re_{b}$ = 6760 through all wave amplitudes and the wave configuration is varied in the range of $0\leq\alpha/\lambda\leq0.15$ and $0.25\leq{\lambda}/H\leq4.0$. The predicted results for wavy channel are validated by comparing with the DNS data of Maa$\beta$ and Schumann⁽²⁾ The model performance Is shown to be generally satisfactory. As the wave amplitude increases, it is found that the form drag grows linearly and the friction drag is overwhelmed by the form drag. In order to verify these characteristics, a large eddy simulation is performed for four cases. The dynamic model of Germane et al.⁽³⁾ is adopted. Finally, the effects of wavy amplitude on separated shear layer are scrutinized.

차세대 이동 통신은 음성만이 아닌 멀티미디어 서비스 지원이 필수적이다. 그 중에서도 CLSP(Channel Load Sensing Protocol)에 의한 CDMA ALOHA 방식은 기지국에 있는 허브(HUB)에서 채널의 부하를 센싱하여 일정 문턱 값($\alpha$) 이상의 패킷이 기지국에 수신될 경우 모든 단말기에 접속 불가 명령을 송신함으로써 기존의 ALOHA 방식보다 처리효율을 높였다. 그러나 기존에 고정된 문턱 값은 가변적인 트리픽 부하에 따라서 처리율도 가변적으로 변함으로써 최상의 처리율을 얻지 못했다. 본 논문은 대역확산 Slotted ALOHA 네트워크의 처리율을 높이기 위해서 매 슬롯마다 허브에서 계산되어진 패킷 수를 이용하여 다음 슬롯에 최상의 처리율을 얻을 수 있도록 패킷 문턱 값($\alpha$)을 설정해 주는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 음성과 데이터 트래픽이 혼합된 멀티미디어 트래픽이 기지국에 수신될 때, 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하여 실시간 트래픽인 음성 트래픽에 따라 데이터 문턱 값(${\gamma}$)을 선택함으로써 실시간 트래픽에 대한 처리율을 향상시켰다.

Inclusion of the ground state of $^{16}O$ is investigated for a study of elastic ${\alpha}-^{12}C$ scattering for the l = 0 channel at low energies in effective field theory. We employ a Markov chain Monte Carlo method for the parameter fitting and find that the uncertainties of the fitted parameters are significantly improved compared to those of our previous study. We then calculate the asymptotic normalization constants of the $0^+$ states of $^{16}O$ and compare them with the experimental data and the previous theoretical estimates. We discuss implications of the results of the present work.

In this paper, in order to derive the current-voltage characteristics of n-AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with the piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations, we suggested analytical solutions for the two-dimensional Poisson equation in the AlGaN and GaN regions by taking into account the longitudinal field variation, field-dependent mobility, and the continuity condition of the channel current flowing in the quantum well. Obtained expressions for long and short channel devices would be applicable to the entire operating regions in a unified manner. Simulation results show that the drain saturation current increases and the cutoff voltage decreases as drain voltage increases. Compared with the conventional models, the present model seems to provide more reasonable explanation for the drain-induced threshold voltage roll-off and the channel length modulation effect.

Several signal transduction pathways have been implicated in ischemic preconditioning induced by the activation of ATP-sensitive $K^+$ $(K_{ATP})$ channels. We examined whether protein kinase C (PKC) modulated the activity of $K_{ATP}$ channels by recording $K_{ATP}$ channel currents in rabbit ventricular myocytes using patch-clamp technique and found that phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (PDD) enhanced pinacidil-induced $K_{ATP}$ channel activity in the cell-attached configuration; and this effect was prevented by bisindolylmaleimide (BIM). $K_{ATP}$ channel activity was not increased by $4{\alpha}-PDD$. In excised insideout patches, PKC stimulated $K_{ATP}$ channels in the presence of 1 mM ATP, and this effect was abolished in the presence of BIM. Heat-inactivated PKC had no effect on channel activity. PKC-induced activation of $K_{ATP}$ channels was reversed by PP2A, and this effect was not detected in the presence of okadaic acid. These results suggest that PKC activates $K_{ATP}$ channels in rabbit ventricular myocytes.
