World demand for natural gas has generated the need for many new land transmission pipelines to be installed in the next decade or so. Although mechanized gas metal arc welding is well developed, there are opportunities for cost savings by using alternative welding processes. Hybrid Nd:YAG laser - gas metal arc welding enables fibre optic delivery of the laser energy to a robotic welding head to be combined with the addition of extra energy and a consumable to produce good quality, deep penetration welds in a single pass. The present paper describes initial procedure development to optimize the laser and gas metal arc welding parameters for making joints in pipeline steel. Satisfactory joint quality was obtained and it is intended to develop the process to prototype field trials.

Electrode erosion is indispensable for atmospheric plasma systems, as well as for switching devices, due to the high heat flux transferred from arc plasmas to contacts, but experimental and theoretical works have not identified the characteristic phenomena because of the complex physical processes. Our investigation is concerned with argon free-burning arcs with anode erosion at atmospheric pressure by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. We are also interested in the energy flux and temperature transferring to the anode with a simplified unified model of arcs and their electrodes. In order to determine two thermodynamic quantities such as temperature and pressure and flow characteristics we have modified Navier-Stokes equations to take into account radiation transport, electrical power input and the electromagnetic driving forces with the relevant Maxwell equations. From the simplified self-consistent solution the energy flux to the anode can be derived.

In this paper, we describe how to represent hand witten decimal digits by a sequence of one to five fuzzy sets. Each fuzzy set represents an arc segment of the digit and is a Cartesian product of four fuzzy sets; the first is fur the arc length of the segment, the second is for the arc direction, the third is fur the arc shape, and the fourth is a crisp number indicating whether it has a junction point and if it has an end point of a stroke. We show that an arbitrary pair of these sequences representing two different digits is mutually disjoint. We also show that various forms of a digit written in different styles can be represented by the same sequence of fuzzy sets and hence the deviations due to different writers can be modeled by using these fuzzy sets.

The discharge characteristics of a prototype ion source was investigated, which was developed and upgraded for the NBI (Neutral Beam Injection) heating system of KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research). The ion source was designed for the arc discharge of magnetic bucket chamber with multi-pole cusp fields. The ion source was discharged by the emission-limited mode with the control of filament heating voltage. The maximum ion density was 4 times larger than the previous discharge controlled by a space-charge-limited mode with fully heated filament. The plasma (ion) density and arc current were proportional to the filament voltage, but the discharge efficiency was inversely proportional to the operating pressure of hydrogen gas. The maximum ion density and arc current were obtained with constant arc voltage ($80{\sim}100V$), as $8{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ and 1200 A, respectively. The estimated maximum beam current was about 35 A, extracted by the accelerating voltage of 80kV.

In this paper, the analysis of the gas flow in the GCB is presented by using the modified FLIC method and the arc model. The modified FLIC method has two step calculation procedure. And it adopts the upwind scheme, which results in the stability.[1] The arc model used in this paper makes arc a heating source in the energy equation. The heating source is composed of ohmic heating and radiation energy transfer. And the type of the GCB in this paper is a auto-expansion type.[2]

In this study, Mitigation of Potential-induced degradation (PID) for PERC solar cells using SiO2 Structure of ARC layer. The conventional PID test was conducted with a cell-level test based on the IEC-62804 test standard, but a copper PID test device was manufactured to increase the PID detection rate. The accelerated aging test was conducted by maintaining 96 hours with a potential difference of 1000 V at a temperature of 60℃. As a result, the PERC solar cell of SiO2-Free ARC structure decreased 22.11% compared to the initial efficiency, and the PERC solar cell of the Upper-SiO2 ARC structure decreased 30.78% of the initial efficiency and the PID reliability was not good. However, the PERC solar cell with the lower-SiO2 ARC structure reduced only 2.44%, effectively mitigating the degradation of PID. Na+ ions in the cover glass generate PID on the surface of the PERC solar cell. In order to prevent PID, the structure of SiNx and SiO2 thin films of the ARC layer is important. SiO2 thin film must be deposited on bottom of ARC layer and the surface of the PERC solar cell N-type emitter to prevent surface recombination and stacking fault defects of the PERC solar cell and mitigated PID degradation.

에너지 사용의 급증으로 인해 환경오염, 지구 온난화 현상, 오일 파동의 문제가 발생되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 태양 에너지, 풍력, 소수력 등과 같은 대체에너지에 대한 관심이 매우 높아지고 있다. 미국, 유럽, 일본에서는 대체에너지원의 정보를 체계적으로 관리하고 활용하기 위한 시스템 개발에 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 아직 대체에너지 정보 시스템이 효과적으로 구축되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 일사량 에너지 데이터를 저장 및 관리하는 대체에너지 정보 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 ArcView GIS를 이용하여 구현되었으며, 다양한 시공간 질의를 사용한 데이터 검색이 가능하도록 하였다. 아울러 사용자는 질의 결과를 챠트, 그래프, 등고선과 같은 형태로 확인할 수 있다. 구현된 시스템은 ArcIMS를 이용하여 인터넷 웹 서비스를 제공한다.

목 적: 전립선 방사선 치료 시 회피 영역을 지정한 혼합 에너지(Mixed Energy Partial Arc, MEPA) VMAT 치료 계획의 선량평가를 통해 임상 적용 가능성을 평가한다. 대상 및 방법: 전립선암 환자 9명을 대상으로 치료 장비 True Beam Stx(Varian Medical System, USA), 치료 계획시스템(Eclipse, Varian Medical System, USA)을 이용하여 치료 계획용적(PTV)에 2.5Gy, 30회로 총 선량 70Gy를 처방하여, 회피 영역을 지정한 혼합 에너지 치료 계획과 6MV 1 ARC, 6MV, 10MV 그리고 15MV 2 ARC 치료 계획과 비교 분석하였다. 혼합 에너지 치료 계획은 첫 번째 ARC에서 갠트리 각도 180°~230°, 310°~50°은 6MV로 지정하고 230°~310°, 50°~130°는 회피 영역으로 지정하였고 두 번째 ARC에서 갠트리 각도 130°~50°, 310°~230°는 에너지 15MV로 설정 후 50°~310°는 회피 영역으로 지정하였다. 2가지 치료 계획을 각각 최적화 및 선량 계산 후 Sum plan을 생성하였다. 각각의 치료 계획은 선량체적히스토그램(Dose Volume Histogram, DVH)을 이용하여 PTV의 최대선량, 평균선량, D2%, 처방 선량 지수(Conformity Index, CI), 선량 균질 지수(Homogeneity Index, HI) 및 손상위험장기(Organ at Risk, OAR)의 선량을 분석하였다. 또한 monitor unit(MU)와 치료시간(beam on time)을 분석하였다. 결 과: MEPA 치료 계획은 PTV에서 최대선량, 평균선량, D2%값은 75.86±0.47, 71.95±0.51, 73.92±0.45로 6MV 1 ARC 계획보다 낮은 값(전체 p<0.0005)을 보였고 6MV, 10MV, 15MV 2 ARC 치료 계획과의 비교에서 최대선량은 평균 차이 각각 0.24%, 0.39%, 0.60%(p<0.450, 0.321, 0.139), D2% 값 0.42%, 0.49%, 0.59%(p<0.073, 0.087, 0.033)로 높게 분석되었다. 평균선량은 10MV 2 ARC 치료 계획보다 0.09%(p<0.615) 낮았지만 6MV 2 ARC와 15MV 2 ARC와의 비교에서 각각 0.27%, 0.12%(p<0.184, 0.521) 높게 나타났다. HI는 0.064±0.006로 가장 낮은 값으로 분석(p<0.005) 되어 가장 좋은 균질도를 보이며 CI는 MEPA에서 1.12±0.038, 6MV 1 ARC, 6MV, 10MV, 15MV 2 ARC 각각 1.12±0.036, 1.11±0.024, 1.11±0.030, 1.12±0.027로 모든 치료 계획에서 유사한 값으로 분석되었다. 직장 선량은 MEPA가 모든 선량 분석 파라미터에서 낮은 값으로 분석되었다. 특히 V70Gy, V50Gy, V30Gy, V20Gy은 3.40, 16.79, 37.86, 48.09으로 직장에 조사되는 저 선량 영역의 체적을 의미 있는 만큼 줄일 수 있었다. 방광선량은 V30Gy, V20Gy이 다른 치료 계획에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 하지만 양측 대퇴골두 비교에서 MEPA는 평균선량 9.69±2.93, 9.88±2.5로 비교된 치료 계획에 비해 2.8Gy~3.28Gy 높은 값을 보였다. 평균 MU값은 MEPA가 6MV 1 ARC보다 19.53%, 10MV 2 ARC에 비해 5.7% 감소하였다. 결 론: 저에너지 X선(6MV)과 고에너지 X선(15MV)을 사용 한 MEPA는 각각 에너지의 장점을 취해 비교한 치료 계획보다 개선된 HI와 동등한 CI값으로 분석되어 만족할 만한 PTV coverage를 보였으며 방광과 직장을 보호하는데 효과적이라고 생각된다.

In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, many genes encoded within Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) are required to induce intestinal/diarrheal disease. In this study, we compared the expression of four SPI1 genes (hilA, invF, prgH, and sipC) under shaking and standing culture conditions and found that the expression of these genes was highest during the transition from the exponential to stationary phase under shaking conditions. To identify regulators associated with the stationary phase-dependent activation of SPI1, the effects of selected regulatory genes, including relA/spoT (ppGpp), luxS, ihfB, hfq, and arcA, on the expression of hilA and invF were compared under shaking conditions. Mutations in the hfq and arcA genes caused a reduction in hilA and invF expression (more than 2-fold) in the early stationary phase only, whereas the lack of ppGpp and IHF decreased hilA and invF gene expression during the entire stationary phase. We also found that hfq and arcA mutations caused a reduction of hilD expression upon entry into the stationary phase under shaking culture conditions. Taken together, these results suggest that Hfq and ArcA regulate the hilD promoter, causing an accumulation of HilD, which can trigger a stationary phase-dependent activation of SPI1 genes under shaking culture conditions.
