Using a method recently reported in the literature for analyzing the bit error probability (BEP) performance of noncoherent Mary orthogonal signals with square-law combining in the presence of independent and identically distributed Nakagami-m faded paths, we are able to reformulate this method so as to apply to a generalized fading channel in which the fading in each path need not be identically distributed nor even distributed ac-cording to the same family of distribution. The method leads to exact expressions for the BEP in the form of a finite-range integral whose integrand involves the moment generating function of the combined signal-to-noise ratio and which can therefore be readily evaluated numerically. The mathematical formalism is illustrated by applying the method to some selected numerical examples of interest showing the impact of the multipath intensity profile (MIP) as well as the fading correlation profile (FCP) on the BEP performance of M-ary orthogonal signal over Nakagami-m fading channels. Thses numerical results show that both MIP and FCP induce a non-negligible degradition in the BEP and have therefore to be taken into account for the accurate prediction of the performance of such systems.

본 논문에서는 CDMA 송신기에서 I/Q 불균형, Quadrature offset, 누설반송파와 같은 선형 왜곡 효과와 전력증폭기에서의 AM-AM, AM-PM 잡음과 같은 비선형 왜곡 효과가 시스템에 미치는 성능에 대하여 분석하였다. 이러한 왜곡효과들이 CDMA 송신기의 성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여, 송신부의 특성을 나타내는 중요한 인자인 CDMA 변조지수(Modulation quality)를 왜곡 효과의 함수로 나타내었다. 본 논문의 결과로부터 IS-95 표준에서 요구되는 송신부의 성능을 만족하기 위한 각 왜곡효과들의 한계값을 선정할 수 있으며 이로부터 최적의 성능을 갖는 설계가 가능하다.

무선통신에서 페이딩은 피할 수 없는 문제이다. 그러므로 전송신호에 있어서는 BER 형태의 오류개념이 도입된다. 다른 페이딩 채널들 상에서 이러한 오류들의 동작을 인식하는 것이 필요하다. CoherentMPSK의 평균 BER에 대한 수학적인 해법을 얻기 위해서 몇 가지 기법들을 제안한다. 본 논문에서, 느리고 평탄한 라이시안 페이딩 채널 상에 diversity의 영향도 또한 분석되어진다. 여기서, 변조 지표 값 M은 변화하고 이 변화의 효과들 또한 묘사되어진다. 다양한 diversity값과 페이딩 파라미터에 따른 성능 곡선들은 믿을 수 있는 통신 시스템을 위하여 무선 채널을 설계하고 평가하는데 유용하다.

We have evaluated the suppression effect of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation in terrestrial free-space optical (FSO) communication systems using a gain-saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The variation of EDFA output signal power has been measured with different amounts of gain saturation and modulation indices of the optical input signal. From the measured results, we have found that the peak-to-peak power variation was decreased drastically below 2 kHz of modulation frequency, in both 3-dB and 6-dB gain compression cases. Then, the power spectral density (PSD) of optical scintillation has been calculated with Butterworth-type transfer function. In the calculation, different levels of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation have been taken into account with different values of the Butterworth cut-off frequency. Finally, the suppression effect of optical scintillation has been estimated with the measured frequency response of the EDFA and the calculated PSD of the optical scintillation. From our estimated results, the atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation could be suppressed efficiently, as long as the EDFA were operated in a deeply gain-saturated region.

본 논문에서는 파일럿 심벌을 이용하여 페이딩 채널에서 야기되는 진폭 및 위상 왜곡을 예측하여 보상하는 단일 파일럿 방식인 PSAM(Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation) 방식에 대한 지연파의 영향을 받는 경우 발생하는 문제점 등을 분석하고, 이를 개선하기 위하여 적응형 MPSAM 방식을 제안한다. 또한, 기존 Basic 방식에 대해서도 분석했고 제안된 방식과 적절하게 접목시킴으로써 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. Basic 방식과 비교하면 제안된 방식이 지연파의 지연정도가 0.75 이하로 영향을 끼칠 경우 BER 성능이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있지만 지연파의 지연정도가 심할수록 인접 심벌의 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 BER 성능이 열악하게 된다. 그러나 Basic 방식은 역방향 보상을 사용하기 때문에 오히려 지연파의 지연정도가 심한 부분에서 BER 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 제안된 방식에 접목시킬 경우 한 심벌내 지연파의 영향을 받는 모든 영역 내에서 안정된 성능향상을 기대할 수 있다.

Various processing methods have a great impact on the physiochemical and nutritional properties of meat that are of health concern. Hence, the postmortem processing of meat by different methods is likely to intensify the potential effects on protein oxidation. The influence of meat protein oxidation on the modulation of the systemic redox status and underlying mechanism is well known. However, the effects of processed meat proteins isolated from different sources on gut microbiota, oxidative stress biomarkers, and metabolomic markers associated with metabolic syndromes are of growing interest. The application of advanced methodological approaches based on OMICS, and mass spectrometric technologies has enabled to better understand the molecular basis of the effect of processed meat oxidation on human health and the aging process. Animal studies indicate the involvement of dietary proteins isolated from different sources on health disorders, which emphasizes the impact of processed meat protein on the richness of bacterial taxa such as (Mucispirillum, Oscillibacter), accompanied by increased expression of lipogenic genes. This review explores the most recent evidences on meat processing techniques, meat protein oxidation, underlying mechanisms, and their potential effects on nutritional value, gut microbiota composition and possible implications on human health.

Cardiovascular diseases prevail among modern societies and underdeveloped countries, and a high mortality rate has also been reported by the World Health Organization affecting millions of people worldwide. Hyperactive platelets are the major culprits in thrombotic disorders. A group of drugs is available to deal with such platelet-related disorders; however, sometimes, side effects and complications caused by these drugs outweigh their benefits. Ginseng and its nutraceuticals have been reported to reduce the impact of thrombotic conditions and improve cardiovascular health by antiplatelet mechanisms. This review provides (1) a comprehensive insight into the available pharmacological options from ginseng and ginsenosides (saponin and nonsaponin fractions) for platelet-originated cardiovascular disorders; (2) a discussion on the impact of specific functional groups on the modulation of platelet functions and how structural modifications among ginsenosides affect platelet activation, which may further provide a basis for drug design, optimization, and the development of ginsenoside scaffolds as pharmacological antiplatelet agents; (3) an insight into the synergistic effects of ginsenosides on platelet functions; and (4) a perspective on future research and the development of ginseng and ginsenosides as super nutraceuticals.

Solar electric systems have very little impact on environment, making them one of the cleanest power-generating technologies available. While they are operating, PV systems produce no air pollution, hazardous waste, or noise, and they require no transportable fuels. In PV system design, the selection and proper installation of appropriately-sized components directly affect system reliability, lifetime, and initial cost. In this research, we have studied the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signals. I proposed an efficient photovoltaic power interface circuit incorporated with a DC-DC converter and a sine-pwm control method full-bridge inverter. In grid-connected solar power systems, the DC-DC converter operates at high switching frequency to make the output current a sine wave, whereas the full-bridge inverter operates at low switching frequency which is determined by the ac frequency. Thus, it can reduce the switching losses incurred by the full-bridge inverter. Full-bridge converter is controlled by using microprocessor control method, and its operation is verified through computer aided simulations.

For mobile wireless systems with full frequency reuse, co-channel interference near the cell coverage boundaries has a significant impact on the signal reception performance. This paper addresses an approach to efficiently mitigate the effect of downlink co-channel interference when multi-antenna terminals are used in cellular environments, by proposing a signal detection strategy combined with a system-level coordination for dynamic frequency reuse. We demonstrate the utilization of multi-antennas to perform spatial demultiplexing of both the desired signal and interfering signals from adjacent cells results in significant improvement of spectral efficiency compared to the maximal ratio combining (MRC) performance, especially when an appropriate frequency reuse based on the traffic loading condition is coordinated among cells. Both analytic expressions for the capacity and experimental results using the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) are used to confirm the performance gain. The robustness of the proposed scheme against varying operational conditions such as the channel estimation error and shadowing effects are also verified by simulation results.

Autophagy is critical for the maintenance of organelle function and intracellular nutrient environment. Autophagy is also involved in systemic metabolic homeostasis, and its dysregulation can lead to or accelerate the development of metabolic disorders. While the role of autophagy in the global metabolism of model organisms has been investigated mostly using site-specific genetic knockout technology, the impact of dysregulated autophagy on systemic metabolism has been unclear. Here, we review recent papers showing the role of autophagy in systemic metabolism and in the development of metabolic disorders. Also included are data suggesting the role of autophagy in human-type diabetes, which are different in several key aspects from murine models of diabetes. The results shown here support the view that autophagy modulation could be a new modality for the treatment of metabolic syndrome associated with lipid overload and human-type diabetes.
