  • The PV module company use variable process step and type. Especially soldering process is important, because crystalline cell can be bow by beating temperature. Most PV module company use hot air soldering type in the tabbing & string process. Although hot air type is used widely but this type is bound to influence on cell damage. So recently new way is introducing like a high current way. In this paper, we compare with characteristics of each soldering type and then conform a method to minimize solar cell deformation. Actually solar cell deformation show many difference by fix position and cooling time after soldering step.

  • In this paper, an adaptive control algorithm using system identification is proposed for an aircraft fault tolerant control system. A discrete state-space system is reformulated to be the ARX model which has the advantage in handing variable structure systems. Discrete model reference adaptive control is used to make the output of fault system follow the output of reference model. To validate the performance of the proposed control scheme, numerical simulations are performed for the high performance aircraft with control surface damage.

  • Vascular dementia is a very frequent form of dementia. Debates over classification and diagnostic criteria, and controversy over identifiable treatment targets will continue until distinct pathophysiological mechanism of vascular dementia is found. Clinical diagnostic criteria are sufficiently strong to be useful for clinical trials, but need further refinement. Cognitive changes in vascular dementia are more variable than other disorders, and are dependent on the vascular pathology. Accurate diagnosis of vascular dementia is known to need the presence of reliable cerebrovascular disease on brain imaging. Although it seems obvious that cerebrovascular disease causes pathological damage and impaired cognition, it is very difficult to find the accurate contribution of cerebrovascular pathology to cognitive decline. Most studies have shown a small but significant benefit of cholinesterase inhibitors on cognition, the significance of this effect has been slight and benefits on global functioning, activities of daily living, and behaviour have not been consistently reported. Management of vascular dementia should focus on identifying and managing vascular risk factors.

  • Using the fatigue test results obtained in the SAE Fatigue Cumulative Damage Test Program, prediction methods of fatigue crack initiation life for notched members undergoing random loaming histories were discussed in detail. Conventional fatigue life predictions based on so-called modified Miner's rule were found to be apt to give nonconservative estimate, due to lack of sufficient consideration for stress-interaction effect. A modified .epsilon.-N curve concept was proposed to account for the stress-interaction effect. The predicted fatigue life based on the modified .epsilon.-N curve concept was in good agreement with the experimental results of SAE Test Program. Specifically for the cases when fatigue data was not available at hand, was proposed a procedure to give conservative estimate of fatigue life.

  • Intake pump for waterworks is badly damaged by a small amount of cavitation because of variable water quality and severe operation conditions. In general, the required NPSH for reduced cavitation can be provided by inlet condition, supply air, change pump and inducer. But once the pump has been built and installed there is little that can be done to reduce cavitation damage. In this study, we analysed the cavitation of paldang intake pump and intended to avoid the same phenomena.

  • Lysosomal storage disorders are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders with protean manifestations and variable severity ranging from attenuated forms to severe ones. It is necessary to diagnose and manage these disorders timely before irreversible damage occurs. Prior to the era of enzyme replacement therapy and newer therapeutics, only treatment option available was palliative care. Over the past two decades, extensive research in the lysosomal storage disorders has led to substantial expansion of our understanding about them. This mini review focusses on the spectrum, challenges faced in the diagnosis and therapy and remedial actions taken so far in lysosomal storage disorders in resource constrained country like India.

  • This paper describes a probabilistic remaining life assessment program for the creep crack growth. The probabilistic life assessment program is developed to increase the reliability of life assessment. The probabilistic life assessment involves some uncertainties, such as, initial crack size, material properties, and loading condition, and a triangle distribution function is used for random variable generation. The resulting information provides the engineer with an assessment of the probability of structural failure as a function of operating time given the uncertainties in the input data. This study forms basis of the probabilistic life assessment technique and will be extended to other damage mechanisms.

  • Bacterial wilt is a vascular wilt disease caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. poae that infects Poa annua, a grass that is commonly found on golf course greens throughout the world. Bacterial wilt causes symptoms of etiolation, wilting, and foliar necrosis. The damage is most prevalent during the summer and the pathogen can kill turf under conditions optimal for disease development. Fifteen isolates of X. translucens pv. poae were collected from northern regions in the United States and tested for virulence against P. annua. All 15 isolates were pathogenic on P. annua, but demonstrated variable levels of virulence when inoculated onto P. annua under greenhouse conditions. The isolates were divided into two virulence groups. The first group containing four isolates generally resulted in less than 40% mortality following inoculation. The second group, containing the other eleven isolates, produced between 90 and 100% mortality following inoculation. These results suggest that differences in the virulence of bacterial populations present on a golf course may result in more or less severe amounts of observed disease.

  • The purpose of this study is to establish and examine the analytical methods based on FEA to predict the behavior of the precast prestressed concrete panels under blast loading. The precast prestressed concrete structures are on the rise, but there is little research in this regard explosion. In this paper, we set the variable to the three models. TNT 500 kg was an explosion in the standoff-distance 3m. In conclusion, the precast models damage was concentrated in the bonded portion. The concrete panels after an explosion occurred continuously deformed. But the including prestressed panels deformation occurs only at the beginning of the explosion were able to see the results.

  • In this paper, deduced suitable optimization to request output condition after taking closely characteristic data of single phase induction motor(SIM) which is the possibility becoming economic is coming to be demanded. Motor proper move connection data took advantage of result of existing data and iron loss and copper loss, mechanical loss took advantage of statistical data, and decide motor move laking advantage of saving data and secondary resistance and optimum purpose of method that is proposed through single phase induction motor and comparison performance evaluation having on the same output parameter. That decide material factor, electric power damage ratio, and coefficient of utilization for optimum function by method that search request output and optimum values of efficiency case by case and decided is proper that is saved after take magnetizing reactance relationship. This research result which it sees against a material expense with use coefficient of utilization which is included in loss expense decides the same plan variable back the place efficiency is useful and will be applied.
