The ldhL gene encoding the $_L$-(+) lactate dehydrogenase was cloned from Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55739 chromosomal DNA and characterized. An internal 750-bp fiagment of ldhL gene was amplified by PCR using primers based on the conserved region of lactobacilli ldhL genes. A genomic library off. reuteri ATCC 55739 was constructed using pBR322, and colony hybridization experiments were performed using the 750-bp fragment as aprobe. One clone harboring a 4.0-kb PstI fragment was identified, and nucleotide sequencing confirmed it as an open reading frame of 972 bp in size in the middle. In addition to IdhL gene, an ORF homologous to Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 hydrolase gene and 3' part of phosphomevalonate kinase gene (mvaK2) were also found on the 4 kb fragment. $_L$-LDH of L. reuteri ATCC 55739 showed the highest degree of homology with the $_L$-LDH of Pediococcus acidilactici (62.4%), fullowed by the $_L$-LDH of Lactobacillus pentosus (58.7%). The size of IdhL transcript determined by Northern blot was 1 kb, indicating the monocistronic nature of IdhL.

During start up and shut down, the generator is rotating at a low speed and copper dusts cause arcing between the turns in the slot. Shorted turns occurred primarily by the movement of these copper dusts between individual windings in the generator rotor. Detection of shorted turns was performed in five gas turbine generators in two combined cycle power plants. Two types of permanent and temporary flux probes were used in this paper. These flux probes have been used to develop a methodology for detecting shorted turns in an operating generator's rotor. The flux probes sense the rotor winding slot leakage flux and produce a voltage proportional to the rate of change of the flux. This pattern of flux variation is the signature unique to each rotor winding. An appropriate waveform analysis technique canidentify the pole location, the slot number, and the number of shorted turns within each slot. Shorted turns in field winding of gas turbine generator(125.7 MVA) were detected to twelve turns on al total 190 turns.

In the response to increasing the demands for electrical energy, much effort aimed to develop and commercialize 1MVA HTS power equipments that is supported by a grant from center for Applied Superconductivity Technology of the 21st Century Frontier R&D Program funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology is going on in Korea. For the development, the cryogenic insulation and winding insulation of it in this paper are discussed. In the first many types of dielectric insulating tests were carried out. In detail Breakdown characteristics of $LN_2$, FRP and turn insulating films, flashover characteristics along the FRP surface in $LN_2$ were verified after distinguishing insulation components in HIS windings. And then model windings were designed and insulation test was conducted. These included a AC withstand voltage test of 50kV rms and a lightning impulse test of 150kV at peak.

This paper explains the concept of Economic Value Added (EVA) that is gaining popularity in India. We also examine whether EVA is a superior performance measure, both for corporate disclosure and for internal governance. Of late, companies in India have started focusing on shareholders wealth creation by adopting value-based models for measuring shareholder value that helps to align managerial decision-making with the firm preferences. In recent years, the EVA framework is gradually replacing the 'traditional' measures of financial performance on account of its robustness and its immunity from 'creative' accounting. Even though some leading Indian companies have already joined the band wagon of their American counterparts in adapting the EVA-based corporate performance systems, many other are hesitating as there is no strong evidence that the EVA system works in India. Till now, EVA disclosures are "not mandatory for the Indian companies." Also, we examine the value-creation strategies of selected Indian companies by analyzing whether EVA better represents the market-value of these companies in comparison to conventional performance measures. The study indicates that "there is no strong evidence to support Stern Stewart's claim that EVA is superior to the traditional performance measures in its association with MVA." As part of this study, we have also extensively surveyed the EVA disclosures in the Annual Reports made by the same sample group of 500 corporations from India.

For the first time in Korea, a 30kVA superconducting generator has been designed, developed and successfully tested recently. This is the forerunner of a 1MVA superconducting generator which is currently under development. The paper discusses the structure and manufacturing of a superconducting generator. Helium transfer coupling has 3 passages of the recovered Helium gas and a gas flow control system.

This paper presents mechanical analysis of gas turbine generator (113MVA, $3{\phi}$, 2P, 0.9PF, F class, 3600rpm, 60Hz, 13.8kV, 4.72kA, Air-Cooling) field coil deformation. Rotor end coil deformation is only appeared on turbine end but collector end coil is normal. Expansion direction of end coil is tangential not axial. Deformation appears more severe at top turn. Retaining ling is expanded by centrifugal force of coil and itself. In case friction coefficient between coil top surface and retaining ring insulation inner surface is small, coil end length ${\ell}$ does not change. However, in case friction coefficient big condition, coil end is expanded ${\Delta}{\ell}$ due to start and stop. Deformation is assumed about 30mm by watching photograph inner surface of retaining ring is coated by Teflon at manufacturing condition. Usually Teflon coating insulation surface is small friction coefficient. It's value 0.08${\sim}$0.15. However it's value exceeds more than 0.297. Since top turn deformation appears. The distortion and subsequent failure have occurred because of the lack of a sufficient slip-plane between the top field coil conductors and the inside surface of the retaining ring insulation on the turbine end of the field-winding.

In this paper, a methodology was proposed to reduce the electrical level and spatial size of the smart grid with distributed generations (DGs) to a scale in which the electrical phenomena and control strategies for disturbances on the smart grid could be safely and freely experimented and observed. Based on the design methodology, a micro smart grid simulator with a substation transformer capacity of 190VA, voltage level of 19V, maximum breaking current of 20A and size of $2{\times}2m^2$ was designed by reducing the substation transformer capacity of 45MVA, voltage level of 23kV and area of $2{\times}2km^2$ of the smart grid to over one thousandth, and also reducing the maximum breaking current of 12kA of the smart grid to 1/600. It was verified that the proposed design methodology and designed micro smart grid simulator were very effective by identifying how all of the fault currents are limited to within the maximum breaking current of 20A, and by confirming that the maximum error between the fault currents obtained from the fault analysis method and the simulation method is within 1.8% through the EMTP-RV simulation results to the micro smart grid simulator model.

Recently, the smart grid has become a hot issue and interest in related power sources have increased accordingly. The implementation of a smart grid can enable many generation resources to be linked to the power system, including small-scale reactors for the purpose of co-generation. Research on small-scale reactors is being carried out all over the world. Similarly, Korea is also conducting research on multi-purpose regional energy systems using nuclear energy. This paper proposes a real-time data acquisition and analysis system for small-scale reactors, and is known as the REX-10 (Regional Energy rX 10 MVA). This analysis requires real-time simulations for the power system since it needs data communication with a remote REX-10. A RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator) has been used for the simulation, and a SCADA/HMI system interfaced with the RTDS is proposed for the purpose of monitoring and control of the regional energy system.
