  • A study on the mechanism of biliary and urinary excretion of chloramphenicol has been performed in the dog. 1) Chloramphenicol administered intravenously to dogs with ligated renal pedicle, readily appeared in bile greater than in plasma. 6.9% of a 50mg /kg i. v. dose of chloramphenicol were excreted into bile within 100 minutes. During the same periods of above experiment, the bile/plasma concentration ratios(B/P ratios) were 46 to 87. 2) Chloramphenicol injected into the vein of dog was rapidly excreted into urine. 18% of the administered dose were excreted into urine within 70 minutes. In the same periods of this experiment, Ccm/Ccr ratios were greater than 1.0 in most cases. 3) In experiment of simultaneous measurement of biliary and urinary excretion of chloramphenicol, Ccm/Ccr ratios were less than 1.0 and B/P ratios were 50 to 52. 4) In experiment measured simultaneously biliary and urinary excretion both Ccm/Ccr and $C^Hcm$(hepatic clearance) were significantly declined by probenecid, but not affected by 2,4-DNP and aminophylline although 2,4-DNP increased only bile flow and aminophylline both bile and urine volume. 5) Ccm/Ccr and $C^Hcm$ were increased in proportion to increment of plasma concentration ranging from 3.3 to 30 mg% of chloramphenicol. But when plasma concentration were increased to 70mg %, Ccm/Ccr were not increased and $C_Hcm$ were reduced about 30% in comparison with values obtajned at 30mg% of chloramphenicol. 6) Free/Bound(free to bouid from) ratios ranging from 1.0 to 90.0mg% of chloramphenicol were 76.2+3.72% $(mean{\pm}S.E.)$ Above results suggest that chloramphenicol is excreted into bile by a process of active trasport, that excretion of chloramphenicol into urine was made up with dual process, reabsorption and secretion, and that renal secretion was attained by active trasport process although renal reabsorption process could not understand.

  • Robot collects surrounding information to recognize tile unknown environment by using various sensors such as visual, infrared ray and ultra sonic sensors. Although visual sensor is the most popular one, it has some difficulties in collecting data in dark or too bright environment due to sensitivity of the light. It also requests significant amount of calculation on collecting data from certain images with marked, straight and curved ones. As an alternative, ultra sonic sensor can simply overcome this visual sensing system's flaw and easily be used. It is easier than visual system, especially in case of collecting data on object and distance in dark environment. Ultra sonic sensor can replace the expensive visual sensing system not only in avoiding obstacles but also in reaching to the target area smoothly. The purpose of this paper is to develop the algorithm to optimize the environmental recognition, path planning and free-ranging by minimizing errors caused by inaccurate information and by considering characteristics of the ultra sonic rays such as refraction and diffusion. This paper also realizes the system that can recognize the environment and make the appropriate path planning by applying the algorithm on this moving robot.

  • Several wireless localization algorithms are evaluated for the IR-UWB-based indoor location with the assumption that the ranging measurements contain the channelwise Non-Calibration Error (NCE). The localization algorithms can be divided into the Model-free Localization (MfL) methods and Model-based Kalman Filtering (MbKF). The algorithms covered in this paper include Iterative Least Squares (ILS), Direct Solution (DS), Difference of Squared Ranging Measurements (DSRM), and ILS-Common (ILS-C) methods for the MfL methods, and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), EKF-Each Channel (EKF-EC), EKF-C, Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF), and CKF-C for the MbKF. Experimental results show that the DSRM method has better accuracy than the other MfL methods. Also, it demands smallest computation time. On the other hand, the EKF-C and CKF-C require some more computation time than the DSRM method. The accuracy of the EKF-C and CKF-C is, however, best among the 9 methods. When comparing the EKF-C and CKF-C, the CKF-C can be easily used. Finally, it is concluded that the CKF-C can be widely used because of its ease of use as well as it accuracy.

  • Time of Flight(ToF) LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) technology has been used for distance measurement and object detection by measuring ToF time information. This technology has been evolved into higher precision measurement field such like autonomous driving car and terrain analysis since the retrieval of exact ToF time information is of prime importance. In this paper, as a accuracy indicator of the ToF time information, timing jitter was measured and analyzed through Single-Shot LiDAR system(SSLs) mainly consisting of 1.5um wavelength MOPA LASER, InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode(APD) at 31M free space environment. Additionally, we applied spline interpolation and multiple-shot averaging method on measured data through SSLs to improve ToF timing information.

  • In this paper the effect of temperature on the electrical properties of organic semiconductor disperse orange dye 25 (OD) have been examined. Thin films of OD have been deposited on $In_{2}O_{3}$ substrates using a centrifugal machine. DC current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated devices $(Al/OD/In_{2}O_{3)$ have been evaluated at varying temperatures ranging from 40 to $60^{\circ}C$. A rectification behavior in these devices has been observed such that the rectifying ratio increases as a function of temperature. I-V characteristics observed in $Al/OD/In_{2}O_{3)$ devices have been classified as low temperature $({\leq} 50^{\circ}C)$ and high temperature characteristics (approximately $60^{\circ}C$). Low temperature characteristics have been explained on the basis of the charge transport mechanism associated with free carriers available in OD, whereas high temperature characteristics have been explained on the basis of the trapped space-charge-limited current. Different electrical parameters such as traps factor, free carrier density, trapped carrier density, trap density of states, and effective mobility have been determined from the observed temperature dependent I-V characteristics. It has been shown that the traps factor, effective mobility, and free carrier density increase with increasing values of temperature, whilst no significant change has been observed in the trap density of states.

  • The present study investigates the impact shear strength of thermal aged Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder joints at impact speeds ranging from 0.5 m/s to 2.5 m/s. The specimens were thermal aged for 24, 100, 250 and 1000 hours at $100^{\circ}C$. The experimental results demonstrate that the shear strength of the solder joint decreases with an increase in the load speed and aging time. The shear strength of the solder joint aged averagely decreased by 43% with an increase in the strain rate. For the as-reflowed specimens, the mode II stress intensity factor ($K_{II}$) of interfacial IMC between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and a copper substrate also was found to decrease from $1.63MPa.m^{0.5}$ to $0.97MPa.m^{0.5}$ in the speed range tested here. The degradations in the shear strength and fracture toughness of the aged solder joints are mainly caused by the growth of IMC layers at the solder/substrate interface.

  • An oxygen free copper severely-deformed by eight cycles (an equivalent strain of $\~6.4$) of accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) was annealed at various temperatures ranging from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$. The annealed copper was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile & hardness test. TEM observation revealed that the ultrafine grains developed by the ARB still remained up to $150^{\circ}C$, however above $200^{\circ}C$ they were replaced by equiaxed and coarse grains due to an occurrence of the static recrystallization. Tensile strength and hardness of the copper decreased slightly with the annealing temperature up to $150^{\circ}C$, however they dropped largely above $200^{\circ}C$. Annealing characteristics of the copper were compared with those of a commercially pure aluminum processed by ARB and subsequently annealed.

  • In this paper, cable-stayed bridges with single pylon and two equal side spans, with variations in geometry and span ranging from 120 m to 240 m have been studied. 3D models of the bridges considered in this study have been analysed using ANSYS. As the first step towards a detailed seismic analysis, free vibration response of different geometries is studied for their mode shapes and frequencies. Typical pattern of free vibration responses in different frequencies with change in geometry is observed. Further, three different seismic loading histories are chosen with various characteristics to find the structural response of different geometries under seismic loading. Effect of variation in pylon shape, cable arrangement with variation in span is found to have typical characteristics with different structural response under seismic loading. From the study, it is observed that the structural response is very much dependent on the geometry of the cable-stayed bridge and the characteristics of the seismic loading as well. Further, structural responses obtained from the study would help the design engineers to take decisions on geometric shapes of the bridges to be constructed in seismic prone zones.

  • This study was conducted to develope a simple, rapid and solvent-free solid-phase microextraction(SPME) procedure for extracting three organochlorine, one triazine and nine organophosphorus pesticides from water. The optimal conditions of SPME for analyses of organochlorine pesticides were obtained at $250^{\circ}C$ of desorption temperature, 45 minutes of equilibrium time, pH 6 and NaCl 0% addition using $100{\mu}m$ polydimethylsiloxane fiber and those of triazine and organophosphorus pesticides were obtained at $270^{\circ}C$ of desorption temperature, 60 minutes of equilibrium time, pH 6 and NaCl 0% addition using $100{\mu}m$ polydimethylsiloxane fiber. This method showed good lineality for organochlorine pesticides between 0.0001 and $10{\mu}g/L$ with regression coefficients ranging 0.9986~0.9992 and for triazine and organophosphorus pesticides between 0.01 and $10{\mu}g/L$ with regression coefficients ranging 0.9867~0.9998.

  • We propose a new satellite OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) scheme with greatly enhanced tolerance of timing offset among the users. In uplink OFDMA systems, timing misalignment among users destroys subcarrier orthogonality and thus, it degrades the performance. In order to avoid this performance degradation, the accurate processing, so called 'ranging', is required to synchronize among users. However, ranging scheme is not available in the satellite systems due to the very long round trip delay. Exploiting the property that PSW(Propoerly Scrambled Walsh-code) code has zero correlation despite ${\pm}1$ chip timing offset, the proposed OFDMA achieves MAI free performance with the timing offset up to ${\pm}1$ OFDM symbol duration for the satellite systems.
