This paper dealt with the insulation evaluation by a measurement of partial discharge(PD) on traction motors used in a hybrid vehicle. The PD method has been accepted as an effective and a non-destructive. technique to evaluate insulation performance of low-voltage electric and electronic devices. In this paper, the PD measurement system which was manufactured with a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and an associated electronics is described. The PD measurement system has the frequency bandwidth of $1[MHz]{\sim}30[MHz]$ at -3 [dB] and the stable sensitivity of 19 [mV/pC] for the traction motor. From the experimental results, discharge inception voltage (DIV) and apparent charge (q) were $1,100[V_{rms}]$ and 105 [pC] for the used motor, and $1,400[V_{rms}]$ and 84 [pC] for the new one. By comparing the DIV and q, we could evaluate the insulation condition for the traction motors.

In this study we aims to examine the effects of $Co_3O_4$ and NiO doping on the defects and electrical properties in ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (Sb/Bi=0.5) varistors. It seemed to form ${Zn_i}^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$(0.20 eV) and ${V_o}^{\cdot}$(0.33 eV) as dominant defects in Co and Ni co-doped ZBS system, however only ${V_o}^{\cdot}$ appeared in Co- or Ni-doped ZBS. Even though the same defects it was different in capacitance (1.5~4.5 nF) and resistance ($0.3{\sim}9.5k{\Omega}$). The varistor characteristics were improved with Co and Co+Ni doping (non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}$= 36 and 29, relatively) in ZBS. The various parameters ($N_d=1.43{\sim}2.33{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, $N_t=1.40{\sim}2.28{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$, ${\Phi}b$=1.76~2.37 V, W= 98~118 nm) calculated from the C-V characteristics in our systems did not depend greatly on the type of dopant, which were in the range of a typical ZnO varistors. It should be derived a improved C-V equation carefully for more reliable parameters because the variation of the varistor capacitance as a function of the applied dc voltage is depend on the defect, frequency, and temperature.

The electronic structure of ferrimagnetic spinel oxide of $FeV_2O_4$ has been investigated by employing soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The Fe 2p and V 2p XAS spectra show that the valence states of Fe and V ions are ${\sim}Fe^{2.3+}$ mixed-valent states and ${\sim}V^{3+}$ states, respectively. In Fe 2p XMCD spectra, finite XMCD signals are observed for divalent $Fe^{2+}$ states only, but not for $Fe^{3+}$ states. This finding indicates that the magnetic moments of $Fe^{2+}$ ions are ordered ferromagnetically but that those of $Fe^{3+}$ ions are cancelled, implying that $Fe^{2+}$ ions play an important role in determining magnetic properties of $FeV_2O_4$.

Purpose : Brain Stereotactic Radiosurgery can treat non-invasive diseases with high rates of complications due to surgical operations. However, brain stereotactic radiosurgery may be accompanied by radiation induced side effects such as fractionation radiation therapy because it uses radiation. The effects of Coplanar Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy(C-VMAT) and Non-Coplanar Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy(NC-VMAT) on surrounding normal tissues were analyzed in order to reduce the side effects caused fractionation radiation therapy such as head and neck. But, brain stereotactic radiosurgery these contents were not analyzed. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of NC-VMAT by comparing and analyzing C-VMAT and NC-VMAT in patients who underwent brain stereotactic radiosurgery. Methods and materials : With C-VMAT and NC-VMAT, 13 treatment plans for brain stereotactic radiosurgery were established. The Planning Target Volume ranged from a minimum of 0.78 cc to a maximum of 12.26 cc, Prescription doses were prescribed between 15 and 24 Gy. Treatment machine was TrueBeam STx (Varian Medical Systems, USA). The energy used in the treatment plan was 6 MV Flattening Filter Free (6FFF) X-ray. The C-VMAT treatment plan used a half 2 arc or full 2 arc treatment plan, and the NC-VMAT treatment plan used 3 to 7 Arc 40 to 190 degrees. The angle of the couch was planned to be 3-7 angles. Results : The mean value of the maximum dose was $105.1{\pm}1.37%$ in C-VMAT and $105.8{\pm}1.71%$ in NC-VMAT. Conformity index of C-VMAT was $1.08{\pm}0.08$ and homogeneity index was $1.03{\pm}0.01$. Conformity index of NC-VMAT was $1.17{\pm}0.1$ and homogeneity index was $1.04{\pm}0.01$. $V_2$, $V_8$, $V_{12}$, $V_{18}$, $V_{24}$ of the brain were $176{\pm}149.36cc$, $31.50{\pm}25.03cc$, $16.53{\pm}12.63cc$, $8.60{\pm}6.87cc$ and $4.03{\pm}3.43cc$ in the C-VMAT and $135.55{\pm}115.93cc$, $24.34{\pm}17.68cc$, $14.74{\pm}10.97cc$, $8.55{\pm}6.79cc$, $4.23{\pm}3.48cc$. Conclusions : The maximum dose, conformity index, and homogeneity index showed no significant difference between C-VMAT and NC-VMAT. $V_2$ to $V_{18}$ of the brain showed a difference of at least 0.5 % to 48 %. $V_{19}$ to $V_{24}$ of the brain showed a difference of at least 0.4 % to 4.8 %. When we compare the mean value of $V_{12}$ that Radione-crosis begins to generate, NC-VMAT has about 12.2 % less amount than C-VMAT. These results suggest that if NC-VMAT is used, the volume of $V_2$ to $V_{18}$ can be reduced, which can reduce Radionecrosis.

Antimutagenic and antioxidative activities in the different milling fraction of rice(Oryza sativa L., illpumbyeo) were investigated. Twelve milling fractions including embryo, bran(I, II, III, IV and all) and milled rice(I, II, III, IV and V) and were obtained by abrasive milling. Antimutagenic effects of milling fraction against Trp-P-2-induced mutagenicity were shown as ${\approx}0%$ for embryo fraction, $27{\sim}86%$ for bran fractions and $64{\sim}95%$ for milled rice fractions in salmonela typhimurium reversion assay. Milled rice V, inner fraction with 80.9% milling yields, showed the highest antimutagenic activity among milling fractions Antioxidative activity, measured by peroxide value(POV) of different milling fractions was higher in embryo(28%) and bran fractions ($25{\sim}34%)$ than milled rice fractions($6{\sim}22%)$. In terms of thiobarbituric acid(TBA). embryo. bran and milled rice fractions exhibited 14, $5{\sim}21\;and \;6{\sim}20%$ antioxidative activity, respectively. Antioxidative activity, measured by electron donating ability(EDA), was 45% for embryo fraction. $35{\sim}40%$ for bran fractions and $41{\sim}65%$ for milled rice fractions. Antimutagenic activity if milling fractions was correlated with POV (r=-0.471, p<0.01) and EDA (r = 0.609, p<0.001) but not correlated with TBA. Contents of total phenolic acid and SH were higher in bran and embryo fractions than in milled rice fractions, and were reversely correlated with antimutagenic activity (r=-0.523 and -0.451. respectively, p<0.05).

Five kinds of red wine from three different grape varieties, Gerbong (G), Campbell (C), Moru (M), Gerbong+Moru (70:30, GM) and Gerbong+Campbell (70:30, GC), were prepared. Their chemical and microbiological changes were monitored during alcohol fermentation and aging. The changes of pH, brix and total acidity were $3.2{\sim}3.6,\;17.9{\sim}6.0$ and $2.4{\sim}4.6\;g/L$, respectively. The viable cell numbers of initial, stationary and death phases were $6.0{\times}10^6,\;1.0{\times}10^8$ and $7.0{\times}10^5\;cfu/mL$ during alcohol fermentation. The sugar fermentability, glucose and fructose contents were greatly decreased less than 0.2 g/L, and the final contents of ethanol and sulfur dioxide were $11.4{\sim}12.3%$ and $40{\sim}62\;mg/L$, respectively. The conversion ratios of malic acid to lactic acid were 23% (G), 67% (M), 28% (C), 33% (GM) and 39% (GC). The chemical characteristics of five red wine were significantly different in pH, total acidity, sulfur dioxide and lactic acid contents (p<0.05).

The microwave dielectric properties of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8\;with\;V_2O_5$ addition were investigated. The addition of $V_2O_5$ enhanced the sinterability of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$, which resulted in high density of $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ ceramic greater than 95% of the theoretical value when sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. X-ray diffraction analysis of sintered $Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ ceramic showed no second phase with $V_2O_5$ addition. Dielectric permittivity(${\varepsilon}_r$) and quality factor($Q{\times}f$) varied with both density at different sintering temperature and $V_2O_5$ addition. Dielectric permittivity, quality factor and temperature coefficient($T_{cf}$) of the two mole of $V_2O_5\;added\;Zn_3Nb_2O_8$ that was sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ were 21.4, 40,000, $-54ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper describes the evaluation of the long duration current impulse withstand characteristics of ZnO blocks for high voltage surge arresters. Four ZnO varistors were manufactured with the general ceramic production method and the long duration current impulse withstand test, electrical uniformity evaluation test and microstructure observation were performed. All varistors exhibited high density, which was in the range of $5.42{\sim}5.46g/cm^3$. In the electrical properties, the reference voltage of samples was in the range of $5.11{\sim}5.25\;kV$ and the residual voltage was in the range of $8.314{\sim}8.523\;kV$. In the long duration current impulse withstand test, sample No.2 and No.3 failed at the 2nd and 4th shot of series impulse currents, respectively, but the rest survived 18 shots during the test. Before and after this test, the variation ratio of the residual voltage of samples survived was below 0.5 %, which was in the acceptance range of 5 %. According to the results of the test, it is thought that if the soldering method is improved, ZnO varistors would be possible to apply to the high voltage arresters like the station class and transmission line arresters in the near future.
