While athletic abilities such as speed, endurance and recovery are important in the horse, genes related to these abilities have not been extensively investigated. Here, we characterized the horse peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta ($PPAR{\delta}$) gene and analyzed the expression of $PPAR{\delta}$ during exercise. $PPAR{\delta}$ is a known regulator of ${\beta}$-oxidation, muscle fiber transformation, and running endurance. Through evolutionary analysis using the synonymous and non-synonymous mutation ratio, it was revealed that positive selection occurred in the horse $PPAR{\delta}$ gene. Two important domains related to nuclear hormone receptors, C4 zinc finger and ligand binding domain, were also found to be conserved well in horse $PPAR{\delta}$. Horse $PPAR{\delta}$ was expressed ubiquitously in many tissues, but the expression level was various depending on the tissues. In the skeletal muscle, $PPAR{\delta}$ increased about 2.5 folds after 30 min of exercise. Unlike in muscle, the increase of $PPAR{\delta}$ expression was observed at 60 min but not 30 min of exercise in leukocytes. This finding might be useful for testing the endurance of horse using blood samples. Conclusively, the horse $PPAR{\delta}$ gene is evolutionarily conserved well and can be used as a biomarker of endurance in horse.

The mare had lameness and asymmetry edematous on its tarsal and metatarsal joints at the initial physical examination. The pain was elicited with a palpation along the metatarsal articulations. No significant abnormalities were detected in the screening test. However, thermographic images revealed a significant increase in the surface temperature at the joint of the hindlimb when compared to the reference range. At necropsy, an irregularity of the surface and excessive synovial fluid were observed on the right tarsal joint. No bacterial growth was shown in the cultures of synovial fluid. Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the subcutaneous discharge. Taken together, the thermography images were very useful in localizing the area of injury and were an effective diagnostic methodology for assessing lameness.

In this study, the inhibitory effect of toxic metals was investigated on the activated sludge of the municipal sewage treatment plant. The allowable concentration of toxic metals was also estimated for the stable operation of the biological treatment process. The single and mixture toxicity of $Cu^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ were evaluated for the activated sludge microorganisms. As a result, nitrifying microorganisms were more susceptible than heterotrophic microorganisms. $IC_{10}$ (Inhibition Concentration of 10%) of $Cu^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ for the nitrifying microorganisms was 3 mg/L, 7 mg/L and 25 mg/L, respectively. The mixture toxicity showed three times more sensitive than the single toxicity. The concentrations of $Cu^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ to minimize the inhibitory effect on organic matter removal and nitrification in batch experiments were found to be 1.3 mg/L, 2.5 mg/L and 6.3 mg/L.

30kW electrical power conversion system is delveloped for the variable speed wind turbine system. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and frequency of generator output vary according to the wind speed, a dc/dc boosting chopper is utilized to maintain constant dc link voltage. Grid connection type PWM inverter supply currents into the utility line by regulating the dc link voltage. The active power is controlled by q-axis current which the reactive power can be controlled by d-axis current reference change. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using s/w PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. This scheme gives a low cost power solution for variable speed WECS.

A magnitude of generated harmonic currents along with the operation of traction has nonlinear characteristics. The harmonic currents generated along with the operating speed of electrical railroad traction is to analyze very difficulty. This paper therefore presents probabilistic approach for the harmonic currents evaluation about the operating speed of the arbitrary single traction. To use probabilistic method for railroad system, probability density function(PDF) using measuring data based on the realistic harmonic currents per operating speed is calculated. Mean and variance of harmonic currents of single traction also are obtained the PDF of the operating speed and electrical railroad traction model. Uncertainty of harmonic currents expects to results through mean and variance with PDF. The probability of harmonic currents generated with the operating of arbitrary many tractions is calculated by the convolution of functions. The harmonics of different number of tractions are systematically investigated. It is assessed by the total demand distortion(TDD) for the railroad system.

본 논문에서는 전기자동차용 리액터리스 고효율 승압형 DC/DC컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 1차측 Full Bridge의 모든 스위치에서 영전류 스위칭을 적용하여 턴 온/턴 오프시 스위칭 소자에 생기는 전력 손실을 감소시키므로서 효율을 개선한다. 그리고 ZCS(Zero Current Switching)를 위한 L-C공진 회로 중 리액턴스 성분을 1, 2차 절연을 위한 고조파 변압기의 누설인덕턴스 성분으로 대체함으로서 별도의 리액터를 추가하지 않기에 시스템 사이즈 및 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 컨버터의 타당성 검증을 위하여 본 논문에서는 PSIM을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 실제 5[KW]급 DC/DC컨버터를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안된 컨버터의 효율이 매우 우수함을 확인하였다.

The dynamic behavior so fsaturaed-fatty acids $C_{16},\;C_{18},\;C_{20}$ and 8A5H were measured by displacement current method when a barrier was compressed and expanded. I-A, $\pi-A$ isotherms of $C_{16},\;C_{18},\;C_{20}$ were similar, but $C_{20}$ was bad relatively. 8A5H showed the form of double liquid films and had an reversible reaction when a barrier was compressed and then expanded.

Monolayers of azo-benzene group containing fatty acids(8A5H) were made by spreading and compressing on the water surface. These monolayers were optically stimulated by illuminating the lights of 365[nm] and 450[nm] from X-non lamp, and the structural changes of the molecules were measured by the displacement current method. Also, the dynamic behaviors of these monolayers were measured by the $\pi-A$ isotherms when changing the temperatures of the water surface. As results, when the monolayers were stimulated by 365[nm] light, the positive currents which were generated by the structural changes from trans to cis were measured. But the negative currents of the structural changes from cis to trans were too weak to detect. When the temperatures of the water surface were increased, surface pressures of the monolayers increased early because of the thermal activations of the molecules, and the double liquid film phase were disappeared upon $40[^{\circ}C]$.

Gradient vector flow(GVF) snake 또는 active contour 모델은 영상 분할에서 훌륭한 성능을 보여준다. 그러나 기존의 snake 모델에는 제한된 캡쳐 영역과 요면으로의 느린 진행과 같은 문제점들이 존재한다. 본 논문은 주변의 필드로부터 외부장(external force field)을 확장시키고 변형된 평탄화기법을 이용하여 확장된 필드를 정규화 함으로서 GVF snake 모델의 성능을 개선시키는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션을 위해 사용된 U자 모양 이미지에서의 결과는 제안된 방법이 좀 더 큰 캡쳐 영역을 갖고 기존의 GVF snake 모델에 비하여 요면으로 빠르게 진행하는 것이 가능함을 보여준다.

Electroless plating of metallic nickel on carbon fiber surfaces was carried out to control specific electric resistivity of the fibers, and the effects of the nickel content and coating thickness on the electric properties were studied. The structural and surface properties of the carbon fibers were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The specific resistivity of the fibers was measured using a four-point probe testing method. From the XPS results, the oxygen and Ni atomic ratio of the fibers was greatly enhanced as the plating time increased. Additionally, it was observed that the specific electric resistivity decreased considerably in the presence of metallic nickel particles and with the formation of nickel layers on carbon fibers.
