심장의 활성 근육의 움직임에 의하여 발생되는 전기적 변화량을 나타내는 심전도는 부정맥 또는 허혈성 심장질환을 진단하는데 널리 활용되고 있다. 특히 심실빈맥(Ventricular Tachycardia) 또는 심실세동(Ventricular Fibrillation)과 같이 치명적인 심장리듬이 발생하기 이전에, 심실조기수축(Ventricular Premature Contraction)을 검출하여 생명을 위협할 수 있는 부정맥을 조기에 진단할 수 있는 연구들이 일부 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라서 본 연구에서는 심전도 신호의 R-R 간격 정보와 R-peak 정보의 진위성을 판단하여 PVC 부정맥 패턴뿐만 아니라 PVC 파형이 연속적으로 진행되는 PVC-RUNs을 효율적으로 검출할 수 있는 부정맥 진단 알고리즘을 제안하고자 하였다.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm to assess the abnormal heart beats such as PVC (Premature Ventricular Contraction) and its subsequent RUNs. Our Arrhythmic detection scheme is based on only the R-R Interval features extracted from ECG waveforms and MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is evaluated to validate the efficiency of our algorithm in terms of sensitivity, specificity, FPR(%) and FNR(%).

A parallel slide gate valve (PSGV) is located between the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and the steam turbine in a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). It is used to control the flow of steam and runs with repetitive operations such as startups, load changes, and shutdowns during its operation period. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue damage and the structural integrity under a large compressive thermal stress due to the temperature difference through the valve wall thickness during the startup operations. In this paper, the thermal-structural analysis and the fatigue life evaluation of a 16-inch PSGV, which is installed on the HP steam line, is performed according to the fatigue life assessment method described in the ASME B&PVC VIII-2; the method uses the equivalent stress from the elastic stress analysis.

As a result of technical advances and industrialization, the characteristics of domestic and industrial wastes are becoming more complex. Accordingly, improved treatment and disposal systems are being continuously sought to take account of complex characteristics and to comply with economic restrictions. In this study, an application of pyrolysis to the treatment of industrial wastes, including waste scrap rubber, waste raw material used in making the slipper bottom and waste PVC pipe, and the effectiveness of pyrolysis in resource recovery from these wastes were investigated. Batches of wastes were pyrolysed by external heating to a temperature of 400-800$\circ$C in a 32 mm diameter x 0.9 m long silica tube to produce combustible gases, oils and chars. Before the start of pyrolysis runs, the entire system was purged with nitrogen gas to exclude the air. The temperature inside the retort was controlled by the thermocouple in the gas stream, and referred to as the pyrolysis temperature. Under these conditions three products were separately collected and further analyzed. The results were summarized as follows. 1. More gases and less chars were produced with higher pyrolyzing temperature and with higher rates of heating, but the yields of oils tended downwards at temperatures above 700$\circ$C. Accordingly, operating conditions of pyrolysis should be varied with desired material. 2. Calorific values and sulfur contents of produced oils were sufficient and suitable for fuel use. Chars from waste rubber had high heating values with low sulfur contents, but calorific values of chars from waste PVC and waste slipper were as low as 3, 065-4, 273 kcal/kg and 942-2, 545 kcal/kg, respectively. Therefore, char from these wastes are inappropriate for fuel. 3. Soluble contents of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in chars from waste rubber and waste slipper were below the Specific Hazardous Waste Treatment Standards. However soluble contents of Pb and Cd in chars from waste PVC were one or two times and five or seven times exceedingly the Specific Hazardous Waste Treatment Standards, respectively. 4. Post high heating is desirable for treatment method of waste PVC which generates toxic hydrogen chloride. 5. The proportions of hydrogen, methane and ethane in produced gases were in the range of 3.99-35.61% V/V, 18.22-32.50% V/V and 5.17-5.87% V/V, respectively. 6. Pyrolysis is a useful disposal method in case of waste slipper, which was hardly combustible, and thus investigations of this kind of materials are required for effective management of industrial waste. 7. Based upon the possible market development for products, overall pyroly economics to take account of treatment values of noncombustible or hazardous materials should be evaluated.
