Concurrent Relations of Commodity Futures
Namkoong,Hongseok,Kim, Woochang 대한산업공학회 2011 대한산업공학회 추계학술대회논문집 Vol.2011 No.11
Literatures have focused on the relationship between basis, cost of storage and convenience yield, as given by the Theory of Storage. However, the relations among futures contracts should be considered as a whole, upon discussion of futures-spot relationships: futures curve reflects inventory level and the risk premium and thus the dynamics of future spot price. Here the predictive ability of the futures curve over future spot price dynamics is empirically proven. When the futures curve is highly volatile, market participants’ expectation on inventory and risk premium vary. As this discrepancy widen, spot inventory is deemed unstable. Thus, spot price rises for a short time. But then, as inventory restores itself, spot mean reverts, making a sharp market correction. An investment strategy that predicts spot price crashes using the futures curve is devised. Equal weight portfolio of 26 commodities is used. Results corroborate the conjecture; it predicts major market crashes. Result indicates that contemporary relations among futures contracts are crucial in futures-spot relationships. This result expands the view offered by the Theory of Storage by highlighting the importance of relationship among futures contracts.

Ultrasonic for MoSi₂/Y. C. Kim, C. K. Namkoong/MoSi₂ in the silicides has excellence in the oxidation and corrosion resistence. When the solid state bonding sintered-MoSi₂/metal or the thermal sprayed coating by powder-MoSi₂ on the metal are carried out, the defects may be occured at the bonded surface. So, the method for evaluating the existence of the defects by non-destructive inspection is strongly desired. Here, the characteristics of ultrasonic for sintered-MoSi₂ are elucidated and the possibility of the detection of defects using by ultrasonic is investigated.

<P>AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acts as a cellular energy sensor, being activated during states of low energy charge. Hypothalamic AMPK activity is altered by hormonal and metabolic signals and mediates the feeding response. To determine the effect of diabetes on hypothalamic AMPK activity, we assayed this activity in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Compared with control rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats had significant hyperphagia and weight loss. Hypothalamic AMPK phosphorylation and alpha2-AMPK activity were higher and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity was lower in diabetic rats than in control rats. Chronic insulin treatment or suppression of hypothalamic AMPK activity completely prevented diabetes-induced changes in food intake as well as in hypothalamic AMPK activity and mRNA expression of neuropeptide Y and proopiomelanocortin. Plasma leptin and insulin levels were profoundly decreased in diabetic rats. Intracerebroventricular administration of leptin and insulin reduced hyperphagia and the enhanced hypothalamic AMPK activity in diabetic rats. These data suggest that leptin and insulin deficiencies in diabetes lead to increased hypothalamic AMPK activity, which contributes to the development of diabetic hyperphagia.</P>

<P>We investigated the stress distribution and electrical characteristics according to changes in the process parameters in a vertical NAND (VNAND) flash cell with a poly-Si channel. We used technology computer-aided design to confirm that process parameters changes affect the stress distribution in a VNAND flash cell and the stress in the poly-Si channel. Also, we found that, as the stress distributions changed, the electrical characteristics depended significantly on the annealing temperature, channel hole angle, and tungsten intrinsic stress in a VNAND flash cell. Thus, the industry needs to develop and apply better process parameters and acquire a better understanding of how the electrical characteristics of a VNAND flash cell depend on those parameters.</P>
Immunomodulatory Effects of Fucoidan on NK Cells in Ovariectomized Rats

In this study we investigated the effects of supplementation with fucoidan from brown alga on the function of natural-killer (NK) cells to evaluate the possibility as an immunomodulator in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. A total of 18 female Wistar rats (six weeks) were used this study and 12 rats were OVX, and the rest of rats were sham-operated. The sham and one OVX group were fed standard diet, and the remaining OVX group received fucoidan (0.05% supplemented diet). After 12 weeks of supplementation, rats were sacrificed to assess the tumoricidal activity of the NK cells and the NO-iNOS regulation from splenocytes. The mass of body and the immune organs such as spleen and thymus were also studied. In OVX rats, body and thymus weights increased, however fucoidan supplementation did not change the body mass and organs weight compared to OVX group. Fucoidan supplementation increased NK cell activity and reduced NO-iNOS production in OVX rats. Ex vivo treatment of fucoidan increased NK cell activity in splenocytes from shame and OVX rats. Ex vivo, we confirmed that fucoidan partially reduced the NK cell activity in the presence of iNOS inhibitors in OVX-splenocytes. These results indicate fucoidan supplementation has a NK cell tumoricidal activity, which are regulated by the iNOS production in OVX rats. This suggests that fucoidan is useful for potential therapeutic strategies as a nutrient in regulating the NK cells in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients.

In this study we investigated effects of supplementation with ethyl acetate extracts of the brown alga Eisenia bicyclis on innate immune cells to evaluate the possibilities as an immunomoulator in exercise stress. Twenty male SD rats were divided into four groups and the treatments were as follows: A, no Eisenia bicyclis extract (EBE) (200 mg/kg) intake and maintained at rest ; B, no EBE intake and undergoing exercise ; C, EBE intake and undergoing exercise ; D, EBE intake and maintained at rest. After 5 weeks of oral supplementation, rats were undergoing intensive swimming exercises for 2 h and sacrificed to assess the effects on peritoneal macrophages, spleen cells and natural killer (NK) cells. We showed increasing effects on nitric oxide-inducible nitric oxide synthase (NO-iNOS) production by macrophages and no effects of NK tumoricidal activity and suppressive effects on spleen cell proliferation in exercise group. However, EBE supplementation suppressed NO-iNOS production by macrophages and increased NK tumoricidal activity and spleen cell proliferative response to mitogen in exercise group. Overall, these results that EBE supplementation has differential effects on innate immune response and could be useful as sports nutrition.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 amide (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) are incretin hormones regulating energy metabolism. GLP-1 and GIP combination is suggested as a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of obesity and diabetes. However, the neuronal mechanisms are not yet investigated. In the present study, we investigated the role of central GLP-1 and GIP in regulation of body weight homeostasis. The effect of GLP-1 with GIP on food intake, body weight, locomotor activity were determined following intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of GLP-1 and/or GIP in mice. ICV administration of low dose GLP-1 (0.3 nmol) and GIP (1 and 3 nmol) did not change food intake. However, ICV administration of higher doses GLP-1 (1 and 3 nmol) and GIP (6 nmol) significantly decreased food intake and body weight. To investigate the synergic effect of ICV GLP-1 and GIP, subeffective dose GLP-1 (0.3 nmol) and subeffective dose GIP (1 nmol) were chosen for further co-administration study. ICV co-administration of GLP-1 and GIP significantly decreased food intake, body weight and drinking. ICV co-administration of GLP-1 and GIP significantly increased neuronal activation and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) expression in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. The neuronal activation and POMC expression were observed in two distinct neuronal populations. These results provide neuronal mechanisms supporting the development of GLP-1 and GIP combination therapeutics for treatment of obesity and diabetes.
Voltage Control of Distribution Networks to Increase their Hosting Capacity in South Korea
NamKoong Won,Jung Won-Wook,Shin Chang-Hoon,Hwang Pyeong-Ik,Jang Gilsoo 대한전기학회 2021 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.16 No.3
This paper presents the results of a study of a voltage management technology called parameter determination of voltage regulator (PDVR) implemented in a 22.9 kV distribution network. Korea Electric Power Corporation has developed this PDVR technology for increasing the hosting capacity without causing any voltage problems in LV (220/380 V) networks. PDVR calculates and provides the operation settings of voltage regulators such as on load tap changer, pole mounted automatic voltage regulator, and distributed generation (DG). Subsequently, these settings are applied to the voltage regulators, which further optimize the 22.9 kV network voltage without the control of the distribution management system (DMS). A study of the operations and performance of PDVR through the analysis of test results is presented in this paper.
