Grounding electrodes as discharge paths to the earth are normally used to ensure the safety of human body and facilities from the over-voltages in distribution power system, and each grounding mode has a prescribed ground resistance value respectively which is applied by the utilities. As the various electrodes for distribution power system are recently developing to improve the performance of them and resolve the problem of space restriction, it is necessary to measure and investigate the safety of human body of developed electrodes. Therefore, in this paper, we provide briefly a technical comparison of two standards, i.e. IEEE Std 80 and the IEC 479-1, and describe the configuration of safety measurement system which can measure the step voltage and the touch voltage of grounding electrodes based on IEEE Std 80.

In order to obtain the fundamental data about the behavior of sharks by underwater audible sound, this experiment was carried out to investigate the auditory characteristics of tiger shark Scyliorhinus torazame which was caught in the coast of Jeju Island by heart rate conditioning method using pure tones coupled with a delayed electric shock. The audible range of tiger shark extended from 80Hz to 300Hz with a peak sensitivity at 80Hz including less sensitivity at 300Hz. The mean auditory thresholds of tiger shark at the frequencies of 80Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz and 300Hz were 90dB, 103dB, 94dB and 115dB, respectively. The positive response of tiger shark was not evident after the sound projection of over 300Hz. At the results, the sensitive frequency range of tiger shark is narrower than that of fish that has swim bladder. In addition, it is assumed that the most sensitive frequency in auditory thresholds of Chondrichthyes is lower than that of Osteichthyes. Critical ratios of tiger shark measured in the presence of masking noise in the spectrum level range of about 60-70dB (0dB re $1{\mu}Pa/\sqrt{Hz}$) increased from minimum 27dB to maximum 39dB at test frequencies of 80-200Hz. The noise spectrum level at the start of masking was distributed at the range of about 65dB within 80-200Hz.

Insecticidal activity of 33 registered insecticides was tested against last nymphal instars and adults of ussur brown katydid (Paratlanticus ussuriensis). All experiments were tested at the recommended concentration of each insecticides by producer. Acephate, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, EPN and fenitrothion which were organophates, and a mixture combined with chlorpyrifos+${\alpha}$-cypemethrin showed 100% mortality of P. ussuriensis. But fipronil showed only 100% mortality in leaf-dipping method. Carbamates insecticidal groups, benfuracarb and furathiocarb were showed over 80% and phenthoate was $60{\sim}80%$ in mortality of P. ussuriensis. Among the mixture, etofenprox+diazinon and esfenvalerate+fenitrothion were showed 60-80% against last nymphal instars of P. ussuriensis. Otherwise, acephate, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, EPN and fenitrothion were showed 100% mortality of P. ussuriensis within only 24 hours after treatment, but there was no effective after then in residual tests with leaves.

The present study was carried to investigate the development potential of bovine follicular oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro. Bovine oocytes matured in vitro were fertilized, cultured, and transfered to the rabbit oviduct for in vitro culture to evaluate the development potential. The rates of in vitro maturation, fertilization and polyspermy were 96%(355/369), 90%(320/355) and 15%(17/320), respectively. The percentage of oocytes cleaved after culture for 48 hours, to 2 cell, 3~4 cell, 6~8 cell stage were 17%(60/356), 21%(75/356) and 19%(67/356), respectively and overall cleavage rate was 57%(202/356). The rate of recovered embryos after 5 days in rabbit oviduct was 56%(80/142), and 21%(17/80) of recovered embryos developed over morula stage.

This study was performed with Hartmann type dust explosion apparatus and Godbert-Greenwald furnace apparatus in order to research the effect of temperature and humidity affecting LEL, minimum ignition temperature of Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose. The experimental determinations in the range between $20^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$ of temperature was not affected $LEL(180g/m^3)$ but LEL showed $200g/m^3\;and\;250g/m^3\;at\;80^{|circ}C\;and\;100^{\circ}C$. As the change of humidity LEL was $180g/m^3\;for\;50\%,\;200g/m^3\;for\;60\%\;and\;250g/m^3\;for\;70\%$ but dust explosion didn't occur over $80\%$. The ignition temperature of HPMC dust clouds was increased as increasing of humidity. So, the minimum ignition temperatures at $50\%,\;60\%,\;70\%\;80\%$ of humidity was $363^{\circ}C,\;375^{\circ}C,\;397^{\circ}C,\;405^{\circ}C$.

Clinical improvement after coronary artery bypass surgery depends on the complete revascularization and patency of graft vessels. Patency rate and the factors influencing the patency were studied by examining 134 grafts in 55 patients at a mean follow-up of 22.8$\pm$4.2 months, range 15 days and 108 months. Serial studies were performed on 7 patients with 18 grafts. The over-all patency rate was 80.6%, and the rate more than 5 years after surgery was 50.0% with mean interval of 81 months. Patency rate of patients who had taken both aspirin and dipyridamole was higher than of patients who had been treated with aspirin only[80.5% vs 56.5%]. The average serum triglyceride level of patients who had graft stenosis or occlusion in at least one site was significantly higher than that of patients in whom all grafts were patent[262.1mg% vs 174.8mg%]. Patency rate of grafts in patient who had angina was 73.2% and in patients without angina 79.2%. 6 patients underwent successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for narrowed or occluded grafts.

By making a electronic ballast, which is needed to operate a fluorescent lamp, it is possible to make a small and light weight ballast with high efficiency. And more, by increasing an operating frequency, the efficacy of lamp is increasing. In this paper, the variations of efficacy of a fluorescent lamp versus input frequency are studied With two kinds of fluorescent lamp, i.e., straight type(10W) and compact type(13W). The results show that the efficacy of lamps are increasing as input frequency is higher, and over 80[kHz], the slope of the variations of efficacy are slowdowned.

The EMG amplitude estimator, which has been investigated as an indicator of muscle force, is utilized as the control input to artificial prosthetic limbs. This paper describes an application of the optimal EMG amplitude estimator to the surface EMG signals recorded during constant isometric %MVC (maximum voluntary contraction) for 30 seconds and reports on assessing performance of the amplitude estimator from the application. Surface EMG signals, a total of 198 signals, were recorded from biceps brachii muscle over the range of 20-80%MVC isometric contraction. To examine the estimator performance, a SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) was computed from each amplitude estimate. The results of the study indicate that ARV(average rectified value) and RMS(root mean square) amplitude estimation with forth order whitening filter and 250[ms] moving average window length are optimal and showed the mean SNR improvement of about 50%, 40% and 20% for each 20%MVC, 50%MVC and 80%MVC surface EMG signals, respectively.
