본 논문에서는 곱의 상관방식과 차분상관방식의 OFDM 심벌 동기타이밍방식에 있어서 멀티패스 채널 지연프로필의 각 수신지연파에서 OFDM 심벌 동기타이밍으로 검출될 확률식을 나타내 보인다. 여러 가지 지연확산의 채널들에 대해 행해본 컴퓨터시뮬레이션의 결과 상관의 동기타이밍 검출방식에서는 진폭이 가장 큰 지연파의 선두에서 동기타이밍을 취할 확률이 높게 나타나는데 대하여 차분방식에서는 언제나 제 1수신지연파의 선두에서 동기타이밍을 취할 확률이 높게 나타나는 특성을 보여준다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 본 논문에서는 채널의 지연확산 길이에 관계없이 OFDM신호의 동기타이밍을 0점과 -1점 심벌 동기타이밍을 취하는 것에서 BER의 성능차이를 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 Rayleigh 및 Ricean 채널 환경 아래에서의 시역전 시스템의 펄스 특성을 해석적으로 분석한 후 이를 Monte Carlo simulation을 통하여 검증한다. 시역전 통신 방식은 시역전 어레이를 구성하는 안테나들이 송신단에서 보낸 신호를 받은 후 이를 시간 축에서 역전시켜서 데이터와 함께 보내는 통신 방식이다. 채널 특성 변화는 시간에 따라 아주 느리다고 가정하고 시역전 어레이를 구성하고 있는 안테나 사이의 공간이 충분히 크지 않아서 각 안테나에 도달하는 선호들 간에 상관도가 있는 경우를 고려한다. 두 페이딩 채널에서 시역전 펄스가 공간상 좁은 영역에 존재함을 보이고 또 이 펄스의 안정성이 안테나의 수에 비례함을 증명한다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate how a Portulaca oleracea L. extract (POE) stimulates insulin secretion in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$. MATERIALS/METHOD: INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$ were incubated in the presence of various glucose concentrations: 1.1 or 5.6, 16.7 mM glucose. The cells were treated with insulin secretagogues or insulin secretion inhibitor for insulin secretion assay using an insulin ELISA kit. In order to quantify intracellular influx of $Ca^{2+}$ caused by POE treatment, the effect of POE on intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$ was examined using Fluo-2 AM dye. RESULTS: POE at 10 to $200{\mu}g/mL$ significantly increased insulin secretion dose-dependently as compared to the control. Experiments at three glucose concentrations (1.1, 5.6, and 16.7 mM) confirmed that POE significantly stimulated insulin secretion on its own as well as in a glucose-dependent manner. POE also exerted synergistic effects on insulin secretion with secretagogues, such as L-alanine, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and especially tolbutamide, and at a depolarizing concentration of KCl. The insulin secretion caused by POE was significantly attenuated by treatment with diazoxide, an opener of the $K{^+}_{ATP}$ channel (blocking insulin secretion) and by verapamil (a $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker). The insulinotropic effect of POE was not observed under $Ca^{2+}$-free conditions in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$. When the cells were preincubated with a $Ca^{2+}$ fluorescent dye, Fluo-2 (acetoxymethyl ester), the cells treated with POE showed changes in fluorescence in red, green, and blue tones, indicating a significant increase in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, which closely correlated with increases in the levels of insulin secretion. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that POE stimulates insulin secretion via a $K{^+}_{ATP}$ channel-dependent pathway in INS-1 pancreatic ${\beta}-cells$.

Users quite often experience volatile channel conditions which negatively influence multimedia transmission. HTTP adaptive streaming has emerged as a new promising technology where the video quality can be adjusted to variable network conditions. Nevertheless, the new technology does not remain without drawbacks. As it has been observed, multiple video players sharing the same network link have often problems with achieving good efficiency and stability of play-out due to a mutual interference and competition among video players. Our investigation indicates that there may be another cause for under-performance of the streamed video. In an emulated environment, we implemented three algorithms of adaptive video play-out based on bandwidth or buffer assessment. As we show, traffic generated by players employing the same or similar play-out strategies is positively correlated and synchronised (clustered), whereas traffic originated from different play-out strategies shows negative or no correlations. However, when some of the parameters of the play-out strategies are randomised, the correlation and synchronisation diminish what has a positive impact on the smoothness of the traffic and on the video quality perceived by end users. Our research shows that non-correlated traffic flows generated by play-out strategies improve efficiency and stability of streamed adaptive video.

The performance of D-MIMO systems is not only affected by multipath fading but also from shadowing fading, as well as path loss. In this paper, we investigate the ergodic capacity of D-MIMO systems operating in non-correlated K fading (Rayleigh/Gamma) channels. With the aid of majorization and Minkowski theory, we derive analytical closed-form expressions of the upper and lower bounds on the ergodic capacity for D-MIMO systems over non-correlated K fading channels, which are quite general and applicable for arbitrary signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the number of transceiver antennas. To intuitively reveal the impacts of system and fading parameters on the ergodic capacity, we deduce asymptotic approximations in the high and low SNR regimes. Finally, we pursue the massive MIMO systems analysis for the lower bound and derive closed-form expressions when the number of antennas at BS grows large, and when the number of antennas at transceivers becomes large with a fixed and finite ratio. It is demonstrated that the proposed expressions on the ergodic capacity accurately match with the theoretical analysis.

This paper studies a parallel relay network where the relays employ an amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying scheme and are subjected to individual power constraints. We consider correlated effective relay noise arising from practical scenarios when the relays are exposed to common interferers. Assuming that the noise covariance and the full channel state information are available, we investigate the problem of finding the optimal AF scheme in terms of maximum end-to-end transmission rate. It is shown that the maximization problem can be equivalently transformed to a convex semi-definite program, which can be efficiently solved. Then an upper bound on the maximum achievable AF rate of this network is provided to further evaluate the performance of the optimal AF scheme. It is proved that the upper bound can be asymptotically achieved in two special regimes when the transmit power of the source node or the relays is sufficiently large. Finally, both theoretical and numerical results are given to show that, on average, noise correlation is beneficial to the transmission rate - whether the relays know the noise covariance matrix or not.

In this paper, the authors propose the pseudo complex correlation coefficient (PCCC) of the two complex random variables (RV), because the four real correlation coefficients (RCC) of the corresponding four real RVs cannot be obtained only from the complex correlation coefficient (CCC) of given two complex RV. Such observation is motivated by the general statement; "The complex jointly-Gaussian random M-vector cannot be completely described by the complex covariance matrix, even though the real Gaussian random 2M-vector can be completely descried by the real covariance matrix. Therefore, in order to describe completely the complex jointly-Gaussian random M-vector, we need an additional matrix, namely the complex pseudo-covariance matrix, along with the complex covariance matrix." Then, we apply PCCC to correlated information sources (CIS) for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in 5G system, and investigate impact of the proposed PCCC on the achievable data rate of the stronger channel user in the conventional successive interference cancellation (SIC) NOMA with CIS. It is shown that for the given same CCC, the achievable data rates with the different PCCC are different, because the corresponding RCC are different. We also show that as the absolute value of the same CCC increases, the impact of the different PCCC becomes more significant.

The purposes of this study were 1) to analyze the correlation between Word-of-Mouth(WOM) message sender credibility and WOM effect and 2) to analyze the differences of WOM message sender creadibility and WOM effect in off-line and on-line WOM communication. The messages were created as a form of scenario for this study. Respondents were asked to evaluate the message sender credibility and predict WOM behaviors after reading given scenario. The questionnaires were distributed to 200 customers and a total of 175 questionnaires were used for analysis(87.5%). The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Win(12.0) for descriptive analysis, paired t-test, factor analysis, correlation analysis. The positive off-line WOM message sender was considered as more credible(p<.001) than on-line WOM message sender. 'Message sender credibility' is correlated with 'attitude formation' in both channels, but 'reliable' factor of 'credibility' variable is not significantly correlated with 'attitude change'.

A continuous flow hyperpolarized (HP) $^{129}Xe$ NMR spectroscopy was employed for the first time to investigate $TiO_2$ nanotubes (Ti-NTs) synthesized from commercial nanoparticles with different reaction times. A single peak attributing to channels for Ti-NTs was observed for variable temperature HP $^{129}Xe$ NMR spectra. It was also noted that there is alteration in value for heat of adsorption, ${\Delta}H$ from $12.6{\pm}1.3$ to $16.4{\pm}0.4kJ/mol$ and variation in chemical shift of the xenon adsorbed in channels, ${\delta}_s$ from $120{\pm}2\sim135{\pm}9ppm$ which were closely correlated to channel length and it was shown that P25-24 Ti-NTs with longest channel is most favorite Ti-NTs for Xe adsorption.
