By using image recognition technology, this paper presents a new fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery with artificial immune algorithm. This method focuses on the vibration state parameter image. The main contribution of this paper is as follows: firstly, 3-D spectrum is created with raw vibrating signals. Secondly, feature information in the state parameter image of rotating machinery is extracted by using Wavelet Packet transformation. Finally, artificial immune algorithm is adopted to diagnose rotating machinery fault. On the modeling of 600MW turbine experimental bench, rotor's normal rate, fault of unbalance, misalignment and bearing pedestal looseness are being examined. It's demonstrated from the diagnosis example of rotating machinery that the proposed method can improve the accuracy rate and diagnosis system robust quality effectively.

There have been reported cases that the Krukenherg tumor had been primary ovarian carcinoma, But the Krukenberg tumor is generally known as one special type of metastatic ovarian carcinoma, which histologically consists of nest of mucin filled signet-ring cells in a cellular, nonneoplastic stroma. The most common gastrointestinal tract origin for Krukenberg tumor is the stomach, and the next frequent is the large intestine. Generally the Krukenberg tumor is difficult to diagnose and treat until somewhat enlarging its size. We experienced a case of the Krukemberg tumor on the remained ovary after the previous unilateral adnexectomy, which was metastasized from adenocarcinoma of stomach. We present this case with a brief review of literature.

As with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) reconstruction requires a good understanding of the anatomy and biomechanical properties of the PCL to place the graft correctly as well as to choose the appropriate structure and material for the graft. The anatomy and function of the PCL can be somewhat confusing and continuing to evolve so far. Recent studies have focused on the insertion site anatomy and the identification of the functional components of the ligament. The issue of the ligament isometry and the role of PCL in knee kinematics are still totally resolved. This article can be provided an update on current concepts of the anatomy and biomechanics of the PCL through literature reviews. A clear understanding of these knowledges enables the clinicians to diagnose injuries to the PCL accurately and to reconstruct these structures successfully.

The piriformis syndrome is a condition allegedly attributable to compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle. Recently, magnetic resonance neurography and electrophysiologic study have helped to diagnose piriformis syndrome. High dose radiotherapy could induce acute and delayed muscle damage. We had experienced piriformis syndrome with fatty atrophy of piriformis muscle after radiotherapy for recurrent cervical cancer.

Glomus tumors are benign tumors that account for 1% to 5% of all soft tissue tumors of the hand and are characterized by a triad of sensitivity to cold, localized tenderness and severe paroxysmal pain. Paroxysmal pain is a symptom common not only in glomus tumors but also in CRPS, and the hand is one of the commonly affected sites in patients with both glomus tumors and CRPS. Therefore, it is not easy to clinically diagnose glomus tumors superimposed on already affected region of CRPS patients. We report a case of glomus tumor concomitantly originating with CRPS at the hand.

As the global concerns focus on the sustainable growth, the green growth has been one of key words for the Korean government's policy trajectory. This study measures the green index for OECD countries in order to gauge and diagnose the current status of the green growth policy for Korea. The empirical results tell us that Korea's green index is relatively small and it needs to benchmark UK for improving her green policy. The contributions of the current study are to use a large set of data for green growth and to result in quantitative empirical results.

With respect to the effectiveness of types of knowledge on human diagnostic performance, the results of several experiments claimed that training with diagnostic rules (procedural knowledge) is more effective than training that provides theoretical knowledge (principle knowledge). However, we usually have the idea that understanding the principles of system dynamics is necessary for diagnosis in some situations. In this study, we pointed out some problems in the previous experiments that force to reinterpret their experimental conclusions. Accordingly, we conducted an experiment to reinvestigate the value of theoretical knowledge in two problem situations. A simulator system, which is named DLD, that is to diagnose an electronic device was created for this purpose. It is a context-free digital logic circuit which includes forty-one gates of three basic types. Our experiment investigated the marginal effects of theoretical knowledge over common diagnostic rules. The experimental results showed that the effectiveness of the instruction in theoretical knowledge is dependent on the complexity of diagnostic situations. This adds up an experimental evidence against the presumed ineffectiveness of theoretical knowledge and forward reasoning in fault diagnosis. Furthermore, the result suggests the source of the use of theoretical knowledge.

Since one property(i.e. coarseness, orientation, regularity, granularity etc.) of ultrasound liver images was not sufficiently enough to classify the characteristics of livers, we used the multi-feature vectors from ultrasound images to diagnose the liver disease. The proposed classifier, which uses the multi-feature vectors and Bayes decision rule, performed well for the classification of normal, fat and cirrhosis liver. In our simulation, we used the Battacharyya distance and Hotelling Trace Criterion to select the best multi-feature vectors for the classifier and obtained less classification errors than other methods using single feature vector.

Septic internal jugular vein-sigmoid sinus thrombosis (IJV-SST) associated with a malpositioned central venous catheter is a rare condition. It is potentially life-threatening and necessitates early diagnosis and rapid administration of appropriate medications. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose due to vague clinical presentations. Several studies such as CT, MRI, and cerebral angiography should be performed and carefully examined to help make the diagnosis. We report a case of septic IJV-SST due to a malpositioned central venous catheter.

To minimize the financial loss due to power facility malfunction, on-line diagnostic techniques are required to grasp any abnormal state of facilities in the live line as well as devices to diagnose abnormal states of power facility in an easy and prompt manner. This study aims to develop a portable UV detecting system by means of UV sensors for easier and efficient inspection of the degradation state of power facility in a long distance. Accordingly, it includes a simulation of corona discharges that may occur due to degradation of power facility and detection of ultraviolet pulse generation depending on the corona discharge intensity and measuring distance in application of UV sensors. Additionally, the optimal algorithm is determined for its application to the system's degradation diagnosis program based on the measured experiment data.
