This paper proposes a novel cooling system for hydrogen fuel cell cooling systems by integrating heat pump technology to enhance operational efficiency. The study analyzed the cooling efficiency of the fuel cell cooling system. With the increasing focus on eco-friendly vehicle technologies to address environmental concerns and global warming, the transportation sector, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, needs technological enhancements for better efficiency. The proposed cooling system was modeled through 1-D simulations. The analysis results of parameters such as thermal balance, temperature, and pressure of each component confirmed the stable operation of the system. By examining variations in the cooling system's flow rate, compressor RPM, and the Coefficient of Performance (COP) based on different refrigerants, initial research was conducted to derive optimal operating conditions and parameter values.

For the hydrogen recirculation system of the PEMFC (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell), the ejector is useful to improve the efficiency of the fuel cell system. However, conventional ejector does not keep its entrainment ratio good when the various power duties is required by the fuel cell system. In this study, the variable multi-ejector acceptable in the whole duty range required from the fuel cell hybrid mini-bus is developed. Consequently, the performance of the developed ejector is verified by the experiments based on the real operating conditions.

A major issue in the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is their lack of efficacy in many patients. Previous studies have reported that the T cell inflamed signature can help predict the response to immunotherapy. Thus, many studies have investigated mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance by defining the tumor microenvironment based on T cell inflamed and non-T cell inflamed subsets. Although methods of calculating T cell inflamed subsets have been developed, valid screening tools for distinguishing T cell inflamed from non-T cell inflamed subsets using gene expression data are still needed, since general researchers who are unfamiliar with the details of the equations can experience difficulties using extant scoring formulas to conduct analyses. Thus, we introduce TcellInflamedDetector, an R package for distinguishing T cell inflamed from non-T cell inflamed samples using cancer gene expression data via bulk RNA sequencing.

연료전지는 일정하게 유지되는 전극-전해질계의 공정에 의해 연료와 산화제의 화학에너지를 전기에너지로 끊임없이 전환시킬 수 있는 전기화학장치이다. 인산형 연료전지는 전해질로 진한 인산염을 사용한다. 연료전지 시스템에서 가장 중요한 부분인 스택은 연료의 산화가 일어나는 anode, 산화물의 환원이 일어나는 cathode, 그리고 anode와 cathode를 분리시키고 이온을 전도시키는 전해질로 이루어져 있다. 연료전지의 성능은 시스템의 환경에 따른 작동 및 디자인 변수들에 의해 좌우된다. 따라서 연료전지의 핵심부분이라 할 수 있는 스택의 성능향상을 위하여 전산유체역학 코드를 이용한 스택에 대한 3차원적 모델링 및 전기화학반응이 포함된 모사를 수행하였다. 이로부터 산화제의 유량변화에 따른 스택 내부에서의 연료, 산화제 및 생성물의 농도, 그리고 반응에 의해 생성된 열의 전달에 의한 스택의 온도 분포 및 변화를 전산유체 코드인 FLUENT를 이용하여 계산하였다.

최근 바이오 관련산업의 발전과 함께 바이오 장비 및 장치들에 대한 연구 및 개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 바이오 세포 조작관련 연구들이 많이 진행되어 오고 있다. 일반적으로 바이오 세포들에 대해 기계적인 엔드 이펙터들이 조작을 위해 접촉될 때 과도한 힘이 발생될 경우가 발생하며 이런 힘들에 의해 세포막이나 조직들이 피해를 입을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 상기 문제들을 극복하기 위해 바이오 세포 조작을 위한 새로운 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 내장된 힘 센서를 이용하여 바이오 세포와 엔드 이펙터간의 발생 힘을 측정할 수 있다. 또한, 비전기술을 이용하여 엔드 이펙터의 피펫 팀을 바이오 세포막까지 정확하게 가이드 할 수 있다. 결과적으로 제안된 시스템은 바이오 세포에 피해를 주지 않고 안전하게 조작이 가능하다. 제안된 기술을 이용하여 실제 시작품을 제작하여 다양한 실험을 수행한 결과 향후 DNA 조작과 같은 바이오 세포 조작용 정밀 인젝션 시스템으로의 사용 가능성을 보여 주었다.

Various studies about metallic bipolar plates have been conducted to improve fuel cell performance through flow field design optimization. These research works have been mainly focused on fuel cells for vehicle, but not fuel cells for building. In order to reduce the price and volume of fuel cell stacks for building, it is necessary to apply a metallic flow field, In this study, for a metallic flow field applied to a fuel cell for building, the effect of a change in the flow field shape on the performance of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell was confirmed using a model and experiments with a down-sizing single cell. As a result, the flow field using a metal foam outperforms the channel type flow field because it has higher internal differential pressure and higher reactants velocity in gas diffusion layer, resulting in higher water removal and higher oxygen concentration in the catalyst layer than the channel type flow field. This study is expected to contribute to providing basic data for selecting the optimal flow field for the full stack of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for buildings.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of a Wire-TEM cell(W-TEM cell) which has an inner wire array rather than a metallic septum;its basic structure is similiar to a NBS TEM cell. To verify improved performances of this W-TEM cell as a standard EM field generator, well-known quasi-static approximations are employed and their resultant ingegral equations are numerically analyzed by moment method. Although the electric field strength of a W-TEM cell is 1.4 dB lower than tht of a NBS TEM cell, the uniformity of EM field patterns in a W-TEM cell is improved. It is also shown that the EM field distortions resulting from loading by the conditing objects under test(loading effects), are decreased considerably. This paper also deals with the investigations about relationship between the EM field distributions and the number of wire composing the inner conductor. Finally, the experimental analysis is performed on the practical model which is built on the basis of the design variables brought out by the theoretical andnumerical analysis.

For multi-cell environments, coordinated random beamforming technique in multiuser MIMO(multiple-input multiple-output) broadcast channel is considered. In order to mitigate severe interference at receivers, the multi-cell environments might require complex transmitter and receiver design because the scheduler decision based on full channel state information (CSI) in one cell must be intertwined with decision made by other cells' CSI. With limited CSI, however, this paper considers a scheme of randomizing transmitters' beamforming but being coordinated with other cell transmitters. The transmitters in each cell share random beamforming patterns and schedule data transmission within coherent scheduling period. The corandomized beams allow the users to be selected with the highest SINRs even in multi-cell environments. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. And numerical results show that the scheme achieves better performance than the conventional random beamforming when applying to multi-cell environments.

Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPCO RI) had developed molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) system since 1993. Finally, KEPCO RI developed and operated a 125 kW MCFC system in 2010. To make MCFC system compact, it is indispensable to install an ejector in this system where the anode off gas, the cathode off gas, and fresh air are mixed before flowing to the catalytic burner. KEPCO RI had developed various ejectors for MCFC system since 2006. The 125 kW MCFC system built with the developed ejector was operated successfully in Boryeong Thermal Power Plant in 2010. This 125 kW MCFC ejector was designed on the basis of the experimental results of 5 kW and 75 kW MCFC ejectors. The main goal of ejector design in our MCFC system is to maintain the entrainment ratio and the pressure between fuel cell stack and catalytic burner within the operating range. In this paper, the design results of the ejector are presented based on the 125 kW MCFC system operating conditions. In addition, a designed ejector was manufactured and installed in the MCFC system. As the fuel cell is under load operation, the pressure surrounding the ejector was measured to ensure that the fuel cell system is operating smoothly.
