Human body communication (HBC) is being recognized as a new communication technology for mobile and wearable devices in a body area network (BAN). This paper presents co-channel interference experienced by HBC supporting the physical layer in the IEEE 802.15.6 BAN standard. To analyze the co-channel interference, a co-channel interference model is introduced, and space-domain and time-domain parameters representing an interference environment are generated using the co-channel interference model. A new signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) parameter depending on the peak amplitudes of the data signals causing co-channel interference is defined; co-channel interference can be easily analyzed and modelled using the newly defined SIR. The BER degradation model derived using the co-channel interference model and SIR in this paper can be effectively used to estimate the performance.

RNA interference (RNAi), a process of sequence-specific gene suppression, has been known as a natural gene regulatory mechanism in a wide range of lower organisms. Recently, we have reported that a transfection of human U6 promoter (hU6) driven hairpin small-interference RNA (siRNA) plasmid specifically knocks down the target gene by post-transcriptional gene silencing in mammalian cells. Here we report that transfection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products, containing human U6 promoter with hairpin siRNA, knocks down the target gene expression in human teratocarcinoma NT-2/D1 cells. Moreover, we showed 3' end termination sequence, 5 Ts, is not critical elements for knocking down in PCR-based siRNA system. Therefore, the PCR-based siRNA system is a promising tool not only for the screening but also to temporally regulate gene expression in the human progenitor cells.

We discuss main techniques to improve legibility of electroluminescent displays. Emphasis is placed on use of destructive optical interference to cancel ambient light reflected from the back electrode of the device. Basic optical principles and material composition of the optical interference contrast-enhancing stack (CES) are presented. We also describe the improved human factors of electroluminescent devices assisted with a CES. Achromatic contrast is the most important contributor to display's legibility. In some conditions color contrast may also be important. Contributing to both luminance and color contrast enhancement, the contrast-enhancing stack may play an important role in various display applications.

When measuring impedance of electronic component and so on, even the small size can reject the interference to shielding object. But, the interference through human body is grown when measuring bioimpedance without establishing shield specially. Consequently, when measuring bioimpedance in this paper, it proposed impedance measurement method to take advantage of spread spectrum technology, so that can reject the interference without establishing shield specially. Spread spectrum impedance measurement method to propose in this paper can reject the interference signal that occurring from medical instruments in the human body, the interference signal that is flowed in from surrounding environment when measuring impedance. It improved SJR(signal to jamming ratio) about 22dB than conventional method that actually realize and experiment spread spectrum impedance measurement method.

Moire topography, a simple technique for three-dimensional quantitation, was used to provide interference fringe photographs of the human back with sufficient accuracy to be used for detecting patient with asymmetry due to scoliosis, the disease of cervix and lumbar, muscle dysfunction. Contour lines are a suitable and widely accepted method of describing a three-dimensional surface. In the moire technique, contour lines of an object are produced as interference fringes while the object is illuminated by a spotlight through a special grating. The fringe pattern is produced by the interference of the grating and its shadow on the object. A photograph of a moire pattern on the human back will permit an assessment of the overall body shape and the symmetry of the back. This study uses shadow moire topography. Moire topography provides a non-invasive technique for quantifying the shape of the human body. In the use of moire topography for the Oriental Medicine Diagnosis, the strength of moire lies in the ablility to detect change due to deformity of human body.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is a member of serine/threonine protein kinases, which initiates the principal transitions of the eukaryotic cell cycle and is a promising target for cancer therapy. The present study was designed to inhibit cdk2 gene expression to induce cell cycle arrest and cell proliferation suppression. Here, we constructed a series of RNA interference (RNAi) plasmids which can successfully express small interference RNA (siRNA) in the transfected human cells. The results showed that the RNAi plasmids containing the coding sequences for siRNAs down-regulated the cdk2 gene expression in human cancer cells at the mRNA and the protein levels. Furthermore, we found that the cell cycle was arrested at G0G1 phases and the cell proliferation was inhibited by different siRNAs. These results demonstrate that suppression of CDK2 activity by RNAi may be an effective strategy for gene therapy in human cancers.

The interference of electromagnetic waves in factory is increasing according with development of industrial society and many use of electrical machinery. Electromagnetic wave is defined as the electrical and magnetic field formed by electrical and electronic equipment used in daily lives, which indiscriminatingly affects the human health and operation of machinery. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from the shorter wavelengths(including gamma and x-rays) to the longer wavelengths(including microwaves and broadcast radio waves). Radiation that is not absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere can reach and affect on the operation of machine. In this study, electromagnetic wave that is interfered to the machine and human is detected in factory, and decrease method of electromagnetic wave interference is studied.

도시개발이 불가피한 상황에서 하천 생태환경을 안정적으로 유지하기 위해서는 인위적 간섭이 하천에 미치는 영향을 자세하게 살펴 볼 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 대전시의 갑천 유역을 대상으로 인위적 간섭이 도시하천에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 하천관리 방안을 찾아보았다. 갑천에 나타나는 인위적 간섭 특징은 첫째, 상류와 중상류 구간은 치수 중심으로 하천을 정비한 뒤 자연 복원되고 있으나 배후지역에 도시개발이 진행되고 있고 하천 정비가 계획되어 있다. 둘째, 중하류 구간은 배후지역이 시가지로 개발되었고 하도가 여가 공간으로 다듬어져 인공 하천으로 굳어 있다. 셋째, 하류 구간은 배후지역에 도시개발과 함께 하도를 정비하여 하천 지형과 생태계가 불안정한 상태이다. 지금까지 기술 공학 중심의 인위적인 하천 관리 때문에 갑천의 하천 지형과 식생은 파괴되었고 생태계 다양성도 잃고 있다. 앞으로 도시하천 관리는 첫째, 사람이 이용하는 공간보다는 하천이 자연 시스템을 유지할 수 있도록 하는데 초점을 맞추어야 한다. 둘째, 도시개발을 할 때 배후지역의 자연환경 특성을 고려하고 하천에 직접적인 영향을 주는 구릉지, 배후습지, 하도의 사력퇴적지와 습지는 보전해야 한다.

When we measure electrical impedance of a small object, such as an electronic component, external interference or jamming signal can be rejected by shielding the object. However, when we measure impedance of a large object, such as a human body, shielding is not easy and severe error due to the external interference could be introduced. In this paper, spread spectrum technique applicable to bioimpedance measurements for rejecting external interference without shielding is introduced. The improvement in signal-to-jamming ratio by the spread spectrum technique was experimentally confirmed.
