본 논문에서는 단일 FET와 composite right/left-handed (CRLH) 전송선을 이용하여 2.14GHz/5.2GHz 이중대역 고효율 전력 증폭기를 설계 구현하였다. 전송선로를 이용하여 초기의 정합값을 적절히 이동시켜 하나의 능동소자로 2.14GHz/5.2GHz의 이중대역에서 동작되는 전력증폭기를 설계하였다. 이중 대역에서 모든 고조파 성분을 조절하는 것은 매우 어렵기 때문에, CRLH 전송 선로를 이용하여 이중 대역에서 고효율 특성을 얻도록 오직 2차, 3차 고조파 성분만을 조절하였다. 또한, 이중 대역에서의 출력특성이 균형을 이루도록 하였다. 전력증폭기의 측정된 출력 전력은 각각 2.14 GHz에서 28.56 dBm, 5.2 GHz에서 29 dBm이다. 이 지점에서 얻은 전력 효율, PAE는 2.14 GHz에서 65.824 %, 5.2 GHz에서 69.86 %이다.

Posterior cortical atrophy(PCA) is a presenile dementia that presents primarily with signs and symptoms of cortical visual dysfunction, while memory is relatively preserved until the late stage of the disease. We report a patient with PCA, confirmed by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and $F^{18}$-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(FDG PET). A 58-year-old right-handed woman presented initially with visual dimness and difficulty finding things around her. She had partial Balint's syndrome, partial Gerstmann syndrome, and idiomotor apraxia. She also had a mild memory disturbance, but preserved insight of her disease. Neuropsychological evaluation showed decreased parietal and left temporal functions bilaterally. Brain MRI and $F^{18}$-FDG PET revealed typical bilateral occipitoparietal atrophy and hypometabolism, which were slightly worse on the right side. Cholinesterase inhibitor administration for 6 months improved the memory impairment slightly, but not the cortical visual dysfunction. This is a typical case of PCA, confirmed by neurologic signs and imaging findings.

Purpose: Human brain was lateralized to dominant or non-dominant hemisphere, and could be reorganized by the processing of the motor learning. We reported four cases which showed the changes of the cortical activation patterns resulting from two weeks of training with the serial reaction time task. Methods: Four right-handed healthy subjects were recruited, who was equally divided to two training conditions (right hand training or left hand training). They were assigned to train the serial reaction time task for two weeks, which should press the corresponding four colored buttons as fast as accurately as possible when visual stimulus was presented. Before and after two weeks of training, reaction time and function magnetic resonance image (fMRI) was acquired during the performance of the same serial reaction time task as the training. Results: The reaction time was significantly decreased in all of subjects after training. Our fMRI result showed that widespread bilateral activation at the pre scanning was shifted toward the focused activation on the contralateral hemisphere with progressive motor learning. However, the bilateral activation was still remained during the performance of the non-dominant hand. Conclusion: These findings showed that the repetitive practice of the serial reaction time task led to increase the movement speed and accuracy, as described by motor learning. Such motor learning induced to change the cortical activation pattern. And, the changed pattern of the cortical activation resulting from motor learning was different each other in accordance with the hand dominance.

A stationary Type IV (IVs) radio burst was observed on September 24, 2011. Observations from the Nançay RadioHeliograph (NRH) show that the brightness temperature (TB ) of this burst is extremely high, over 10^11K at 150 MHz and over 10^8K in general. The degree of circular polarization (q ) is between -60%~-100%, which means that it is highly left-handed circularly polarized. The flux-frequency spectrum follows a power-law distribution, and the spectral index is considered to be roughly -3~-4 throughout the IVs. Radio sources of this event are located in the wake of the coronal mass ejection and are spatially dispersed. They line up to present a formation in which lower-frequency sources are higher. Based on these observations, it is suggested that the IVs was generated through electron cyclotron maser emission.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different objects and target location of dominant hand on the non-dominant hand movement kinematics in a bimanual reaching task. Fifteen right-handed volunteers were asked to reach from same starting point to the different target point of right and left hand with grasping the objects of different size. Independent variables were 1) three different object types (small mug cup, name pen, and PET bottle), and 2) three different target locations (shorter distance, same distance, and longer distance than the non-dominant hand) of the dominant hand. Dependent variables were movement time (MT), movement distance (MD), movement mean velocity ($MV_{mean}$), and movement peak velocity ($MV_{peak}$) of the non-dominant hand. Repeated measures two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test for differences in the non-dominant hand movement kinematics during bimanual reaching. The results of this study were as follows: 1) MT of the non-dominant hand was increased significantly when traveling with grasping the mug cup and reaching the far target location, and was decreased significantly when traveling with grasping the PET bottle and reaching the near target location of the dominant hand. 2) MD of the non-dominant hand was significantly increased during reaching the far target location, and significantly decreased during reaching the near target location with dominant hand. 3) $MV_{mean}$ of the non-dominant hand was increased significantly when traveling with grasping the PET bottle, and was decreased significantly when traveling with grasping the mug cup of the dominant hand. Therefore, it can be concluded that the changes of the ipsilateral hand movement have influence on coupling of the contralateral hand movement in bimanual reaching.

This paper proposes a compact dual-band 3-way power divider that helps lowering the weight of a transceiver for the L-band or multi-purpose satellite communication. Instead of the multi stages or tapering which ends up with loss accumulation and size-growth, the non-linear dispersive phases from the metamaterial CRLH(composite right and left-handed) properties are obtained by the accurate formulation and implemented by the short transmission line segments. Firstly, the CRLH dual-band two-way unequal power divider and equal power divider are separately designed. And then, the input of the two-way equal power divider is plugged in the output port of the unequal one, and the entire geometry is slightly adjusted for the desirable performance. The circuit analysis and full-wave simulation are used to predict the frequency responses and validated by the measurement of the prototype. Besides, the size-reduction effect is addressed.

In this article, we evaluated the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and homogeneity of magnetic resonance images when used for ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). High-quality MRI can be obtained when these two basic requirements are met. However, because of the dielectric effect, 7T magnetic resonance imaging still produces essentially a non-uniform magnetic flux (|B₁|) density distribution. In general, heterogeneous and homogeneous RF coils may be designed using electromagnetic (EM) modeling. Heterogeneous coils, which are surface coils, are used in consideration of scalability in the |B₁| region with a high S/N as multichannel loop coils rather than selecting a single loop. Loop coils are considered state of the art for their simplicity yet effective |B₁|-field distribution and intensity. In addition, combining multiple loop coils allows phase arrays (PA). PA coils have gained great interest for use in receiving signals because of parallel imaging (PI) techniques, such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE) and generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA), which drastically reduce the acquisition time. With the introduction of a parallel transmit coil (pTx) system, a form of transceiver loop arrays has also been proposed. In this article, we discussed the applications and proposed designs of loop coils. RF homogeneous coils for volume imaging include Alderman-Grant resonators, birdcage coils, saddle coils, traveling wave coils, transmission line arrays, composite right-/left-handed arrays, and fusion coils. In this article, we also discussed the basic operation, design, and applications of these coils.

The aim of this work was to determine whether intrinsically bent DNA sites are present at, or close to, the mammalian replication origins oriGNAI3 and oriB in the Chinese hamster AMPD2 locus. Using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay and in silico analysis, we located four intrinsically bent DNA sites (b1 to b4) in a fragment that contains the oriGNAI3 and one site (b5) proximal to oriB. The helical parameters show that each bent DNA site is curved in a left-handed superhelical writhe. A 2D projection of 3D fragment trajectories revealed that oriGNAI3 is located in a relatively straight segment flanked by bent sites b1 and b2, which map in previously identified Scaffold/Matrix Attachment Region. Sites b3 and b4 are located approximately 2 kb downstream and force the fragment into a strong closed loop structure. The b5 site is also located in an S/MAR that is found just downstream of oriB.

본 논문을 통해, 메타 재질 특성을 가지는 CRLH-TL 구조를 이용하는 새로운 개념의 초광대역(UWB) 대역 통과 여파기의 설계법이 제시된다. 기존의 주기성 혹은 유한 다단 구조의 CRLH-TL가 아닌, 단일 구조만을 이용하여, 관내 파장의 0.25배 길이의 공진기를 기반으로 하는 여파기에서 가질 수 없는 초소형 구조를 형성한다. 특히 초광대역 통과 특성을 위해 필요한 강결합은 인터디즈틀 평행 결합 선로 양단의 접지된 스터브 구조를 통해 구현된다. 제안하는 설계 방안의 타당함은 전자기 모의 시험과 제작품의 측정을 통해 증명되며, 여파기의 전체크기가 '관내 파장/9.4'로의 축소, UWB 100 % 이상의 통과 대역폭, 1 dB 이하의 삽입 손실, 높은 평탄도의 군지연 등의 주파수 영역 특성 결과를 보인다.

본 논문에서는 메타구조를 이용하여 하나의 RF GaN HEMT로 새로운 이중대역에 전력증폭기를 구현하였다. CRLH 전송선로는 이중- 대역 조절 특성을 갖는 메타물질 전송 선로를 만들 수 있다. CRLH 전송 선로의 이중 대역 동작은 전력증폭기의 정합 회로를 구현을 위하여 주파수 오프셋과 CRLH 전송 선로의 비선형 위상 기울기에 의해 얻을 수 있다. 이중대역에서 CRLH 전송 선로를 이용하여 이중대역에서 오직 2차, 3차 고조파 성분만을 조절하였다. 또한, 제안된 전력증폭기의 효율을 향상 시키기 위하여 출력 정합 회로뿐만 아니라 입력 정합회로도 고조파 조절 회로를 이용하여 구현하였다. 두 동작 주파수는 900MHz와 2140MHz로 정하였다. 전력증폭기의 측정된 출력 전력은 각각 900MHz에서 39.37dBm, 2140MHz에서 38.87 dB이다. 이 지점에서 얻은 전력효율 및 IMD는 900MHz에서 PAE 60.2%, IMD는 -23.17dBc, 2140MHz에서 PAE 67.3%, IMD -25.67dBc이다.
