The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of taurine supplementation on serum lipidperoxide(TBARS), a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The subjects were 22 healthy middle-aged women(33 to 54 years). Serum lipids, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS), and plasma taurine levels were measured before and after supplying 3 g of taurine per day for 4 weeks. Plasma taurine was analyzed by Dabsyl-Cl(4-dimethylamino azobenzen-4-sulfonyl-chloride) derivatization and reversed-phase HPLC. Serum TBARS was measured by the Yagi method. Daily dietary taurine intake was calculated by food frequency questionnaire method. The weight and height means of the 22 subjects were $57.9{\pm}5.2$ kg and $159.2{\pm}5.2$ cm, respectively. Their percent body fat and waist/hip ratio(WHR) were 26.8% and 0.84, respectively, which were slightly higher than the average for middle-aged Korean women. Serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels tended to decrease after taurine supplementation, but HDL-C was not changed. A positive correlation between plasma taurine and HDL-C was shown after taurine supplementation. The serum TBARS concentration was significantly decreased from $5.05{\pm}0.84nmol/d{\ell}$ to $4.17{\pm}0.64nmol/d{\ell}$ after taking taurine(p<0.01), and the plasma taurine concentration was significantly increased from $63.7{\pm}14.2{\mu}mol/{\ell}$ to $73.8{\pm}16.6{\mu}mol/{\ell}$ after taurine supplementation(p<0.05). The average dietary intake of taurine was $178.5{\pm}50.4$ mg/day, which is similar to the average daily taurine intake of Korean women. In conclusion, taurine is an effective nutrient that antagonizes TBARS levels. Therefore, this study suggests that a sufficient taurine intake may be an effective way to prevent cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis.

Electronic products are a major part of evolving industry and human life style; however most of them are known to emit electromagnetic waves that have severe health hazards. Therefore, different materials and fabrication techniques are understudy to control or limit transfer of such waves to human body. In this study, nanocomposite powder is dispersed into epoxy resin and shielding effects such as absorption, reflection, penetration and multiple reflections are investigated. In addition, nano size powder (Ni, $Fe_2O_3$, Fe-85Ni, C-Ni) is fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation method and dispersed manually into epoxy. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy are used to investigate the phase analysis, size and shape as well as dispersion trend of a nano powder on epoxy matrix. Shielding effect is measured by standard test method to investigate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of planar materials, ASTM D4935. At lower frequency, sample consisting nano-powder of Fe-85%Wt Ni shows better electromagnetic shielding effect compared to only epoxy, only Ni, $Fe_2O_3$ and C-Ni samples.

RF(radio frequency) 시스템의 송신탄을 설계할 때 고려해야 할 중요한 요소 중의 하나인 EMI(Electro magnetic interference)의 규격시험에서 항상 문제시되는 것이 송신기의 출력 스펙트럼에서 나타나는 불요 신호(Spurious interference) 이다. 이 불요 성분들 중 특히 문제가 되고 있는 것이 국부발진기(LO; Local oscillator)로부터 누설되는 LOL(Local oscillator leakage) 성분이다. 이 LOL성분은 국부발진기에서 누설(leakage)되어 RF단의 증폭기를 통하여 증폭되어 최종 출력에서 매우 높은 선호의 크기로 나타난다. 일반적으로 LOL을 제거하기 위해 서 너치필터(Notch filter) 또는 대역통과필터 (Band pass filter)를 사용해왔다. 본 논문에서는 국부발진기로부터 누설되는 불요 성분, 즉 LOL성분을 제거하는 방법으로 LOL과 동일한 크기를 가지고 위상 차이가 $180^{\circ}$인 신호를 국부발전기의 출력에서 만들어 믹서( Mixer)의 출력단에 더함으로써 LOL성분을 효과적으로 제거한다. 본 방 식을 무선랜(WLAN; Wireless 1$\infty$al area network) 시스템에 적용한 결과. 기존의 방식보다 30 dB 이상 LO 누설선호플 감쇄시킬 수 있었다 또한 본 방식은 RF 시스댐을 소형화 및 MMIC(Monolithic microwave integrated C circuit)화 할 경우 종전의 방법보다 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.

디지털 홀로그래피 현미경은 기준광과 시료의 굴절률과 두께에 의한 광경로 차이를 간섭 방법을 이용하여 측정하여 3차원 형상을 측정하는 방법이다. 그리고 광 경로차는 시료의 두께와 시료와 시료 주변의 굴절률 차이에 의존한다. 시료 형상 기울기가 매우 큰 경우에는 광 경로차가 커져 일반적인 간섭 방법으로는 측정이 어렵다. 이런 경우 시료를 액체에 담그어 측정하면 광 경로차가 매우 작아져서 일반적인 간섭 방법을 이용하여 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 홀로그램 현미경과 액체를 이용하여 기울기가 큰 비구면 렌즈의 형상을 측정하는 연구를 하였다. 시료의 굴절률과 비슷한 액체를 선택함으로서 비구면 렌즈의 정밀한 3차원 측정이 가능하였다.

The role of moisture remaining inside the deposition chamber during the formation of the cubic boron nitride (c-BN) phase in BN film was investigated. BN films were deposited by an unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBM) method. Single-crystal (001) Si wafers were used as substrates. A hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) target was used as a sputter target which was connected to a 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric power source at 400 W. The substrate was biased at -60 V using a 200 kHz high-frequency power supply. The deposition pressure was 0.27 Pa with a flow of Ar 18 sccm - $N_2$ 2 sccm mixed gas. The inside of the deposition chamber was maintained at a moisture level of 65% during the initial stage. The effects of the evacuation time, duration time of heating the substrate holder at $250^{\circ}C$ as well as the plasma treatment on the inside chamber wall on the formation of c-BN were studied. The effects of heating as well as the plasma treatment very effectively eliminated the moisture adsorbed on the chamber wall. A pre-deposition condition for the stable and repeatable deposition of c-BN is suggested.

Acquisition is to detect the presence of the GPS signal. Once the signal is detected, the estimated frequency and code phase are passed to a tracking loop to demodulate the navigation data. In order to detect the weak signal, multiple length of data integration is always needed. In this paper, we present five different acquisition approaches based on circular correlation and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), using coherent as well as non-coherent integration techniques for the multiple length of collected GPS satellite signal. Moreover a general approach of determining the acquisition threshold is introduced based on noise distribution which has been proved effective, and independent of the hardware. In the end of this paper, the processing speed and acquisition gain of each method are illustrated, compared, and analyzed. The results show that coherent approach is much more time consuming compared to noncoherent approaches, and in the case of multiple length of data integration from 2ms to 8ms, the processing times consumed by the fastest non-coherent acquisition method are only 25.87% to 1.52% in a single search, and 34.76% to 1.06% in a global search of those in the coherent acquisition. However, coherent acquisition also demonstrates its better performance in the acquisition gain, and in the case of 8ms of data integration it is 4.23 to 4.41 dB higher than that in the non-coherent approaches. Finally, an applicable scheme of combining coherent and non-coherent acquisition approaches in the development of a real-time Software GPS receiver in the University of Tokyo is provided.

A multi-temporal approach using remotely sensed time series data obtained over multiple years is a very useful method for monitoring land covers and land-cover changes. While spectral-based methods at any particular time limits the application utility due to instability of the quality of data obtained at that time, the approach based on the temporal profile can produce more accurate results since data is analyzed from a long-term perspective rather than on one point in time. In this study, a multi-temporal approach applying a multi-periodic harmonic model is proposed for classification of remotely sensed data. A harmonic model characterizes the seasonal variation of a time series by four parameters: average level, frequency, phase, and amplitude. The availability of high-quality data is very important for multi-temporal analysis.An satellite image usually have many unobserved data and bad-quality data due to the influence of observation environment and sensing system, which impede the analysis and might possibly produce inaccurate results. Harmonic analysis is also very useful for real-time data reconstruction. Multi-periodic harmonic model is applied to the reconstructed data to classify land covers and monitor land-cover change by tracking the temporal profiles. The proposed method is tested with the MODIS and GOCI NDVI time series over the Korean Peninsula for 5 years from 2012 to 2016. The results show that the multi-periodic harmonic model has a great potential for classification of land-cover types and monitoring of land-cover changes through characterizing annual temporal dynamics.

낮은 수심에 있는 수중보를 통과하는 해양파 문제는 수심이 낮아지면서 발생하는 Shoaling 효과, 이로 인한 비선형파의 간섭효과, 그리고 수중보를 통과한 후 수심이 다시 깊어지면서 발생하는 파주기 별 분산효과 등을 복합적으로 포함하고 있다. 따라서, 이 문제는 해양파의 이론적 접근이나 CFD의 유효성을 검증하는 좋은 사례로 많이 활용되고 있는데, 주로 규칙파에 대해서 시간영역에서의 파형변화를 수조실험 결과와 비교하여 분석한다. 본고에서는 주파수 영역에서의 에너지 스펙트럼 변화를 분석하여, OpenFOAM 등의 CFD를 적용함에 있어서 초기위상조건 등 별다른 제약이 없는지, 비선형파의 간섭효과로 인한 배음 주파수 간의 에너지 교환이 나타나는지 등을 연구하였다.
