When peripheral axons are damaged, neuronal injury signaling pathways induce transcriptional changes that support axon regeneration and consequent functional recovery. The recent development of bioinformatics techniques has allowed for the identification of many of the regeneration-associated genes that are regulated by neural injury, yet it remains unclear how global changes in transcriptome are coordinated. In this article, we review recent studies on the epigenetic mechanisms orchestrating changes in gene expression in response to nerve injury. We highlight the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in discriminating efficient axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and very limited axon regrowth in the central nervous system and discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting epigenetic regulators to improve neural recovery.

This paper presents the application of Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) to search an optimal setting of overcurrent relay coordination to protect ring distribution systems. The AEA takes the merits of both a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner to use the global search capability of GA and the local search capability of ES. The overcurrent relay settings and coordination requirements are formulated into a set of constraint equations and an objective function is developed to manage the overcurrent relay settings by the Time Coordination Method. The domain of overcurrent relays coordination for the ring-fed distribution systems is a non-linear system with a lot of local optimum points and a highly constrained optimization problem. Thus conventional methods fail in searching for the global optimum. AEA is employed to search for the optimum relay settings with maximum satisfaction of coordination constraints. The simulation results show that the proposed method can optimize the overcurrent relay settings, reduce relay mis-coordinated operations, and find better optimal overcurrent relay settings than the present available methods.

Penetration and installation of a new dynamic technology known as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in a practical and dynamic network requires and force expert engineer to develop robust and flexible strategy for planning and control. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the recent and effective FACTS devices designed for multi control operation to enhance the power system security. This paper presents a dynamic strategy based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for optimal parameters setting of UPFC to enhance the system loadability. Firstly, we perform a multi power flow analysis with load incrementation to construct a global database to determine the initial efficient bounds associated to active power and reactive power target vector. Secondly a PSO technique applied to search the new parameters setting of the UPFC within the initial new active power and reactive power target bounds. The proposed approach is implemented with Matlab program and verified with IEEE 30-Bus test network. The results show that the proposed approach can converge to the near optimum solution with accuracy, and confirm that flexible multi-control of this device coordinated with efficient location enhance the system security of power system by eliminating the overloaded lines and the bus voltage violation.

In this paper, a communication module is proposed to be applied to communication between over current relay (OCR) agents in multi agent protection system. A multi agent system can achieve a global goal beyond the ability of each individual agent by working together, in which it is the prerequisite for each agent to be able to exchange or share information or processing status with other agent. The proposed communication module is purposed to enable not only each agent to bring about its own goal, but also the whole protective system to provide much improved coordinated protection. It is applied to a self adaptive protection system for a distribution network using multi agent concept to show its effectiveness.

This article presents the design of long range navigation (LORAN)-disciplined oscillator (LDO), employing the timing information of the LORAN system, which was developed as a backup system that corrects the vulnerability of the global positioning system (GPS)-based timing information utilization. The LDO designed on the basis of hardware generates a timing source synchronized with reference to the timing information of the LORAN-C receiver. As for the LDO-based timing information measurement, the Kalman filter was applied to estimate the measurement of which variance was minimized so that the stability performance could be improved. The oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) was employed as the local oscillator of the LDO. The controller was operated by digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controlling method. The LDO performance evaluation environment that takes into account the additional secondary factor (ASF) of the LORAN signals allows for the relative ASF observation and data collection using the coordinated universal time (UTC). The collected observation data are used to analyze the effect of ASF on propagation delay. The LDO stability performance was presented by the results of the LDO frequency measurements from which the ASF was excluded.

The wave washer springs are expected to behave non-linearly between forces and displace¬ments due to contractions of the height and due to expansions in radial direction. To find out the non -linearity of wave washer springs, the three dimensional plate analysis theory using the finite element method is adopted in this paper. The wave washer springs are considered to be three dimensional plate structures rather than frame structures, because their thickness is normally much smaller than their width. The displacements of nodal points due to small increment of force are calculated by the finite element method and the calculated nodal displacements are added to X - Y Z coordinates of nodal points. The new stiffness matrix of the system using the new coordinates of nodal points is adopted to calculate the another nodal displacements, that is, the step by step method is used in this paper. The relations between the increments of forces and displacements in each step are recorded and plotted in chart. The experimental results are compared with the calculated chart and it is shown that there are good coincidences between measured values and calculated ones.

This study evaluates the performance of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in simulating temperature over the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment-East Asia (CORDEX-EA) Phase 2 domain for the reference period (1981~2005), and assesses the changes in temperature and its extremes in the mid-21st century (2026~2050) under global warming based on Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios. MPI-ESM-LR forced by two RCP scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) is used as initial and lateral boundary conditions. Overall, WRF can capture the observed features of temperature distribution reflecting local topographic characteristic, despite some disagreement between the observed and simulated patterns. Basically, WRF shows a systematic cold bias in daily mean, minimum and maximum temperature over the entire domain. According to the future projections, summer and winter mean temperatures over East Asia will significantly increase in the mid-21st century. The mean temperature rise is expected to be greater in winter than in summer. In accordance with these results, summer (winter) is projected to begin earlier (later) in the future compared to the historical period. Furthermore, a rise in extreme temperatures shows a tendency to be greater in the future. The averages of daily minimum and maximum temperatures above 90 percentiles are likely to be intensified in the high-latitude, while hot days and hot nights tend to be more frequent in the low-latitude in the mid-21st century. Especially, East Asia would be suffered from strong increases in nocturnal temperature under future global warming.

This paper presents experimental results obtained from actual installation conditions of surge protective devices (SPDs), with the aim of understanding the coordination of cascaded Class I and Class II SPDs. This paper also proposes effective methods for selecting and installing coordinating cascaded SPDs. The residual voltage of each SPD and the energy sharing of an upstream Class I tested SPD and a downstream Class II tested SPD were measured using a $10/350{\mu}s$ current wave. In coordinating a cascaded voltage-limiting SPD system, it was found that energy coordination can be achieved as long as the downstream SPD is a metal oxide varistor with a higher maximum continuous operating voltage than the upstream SPD; however, it is not the optimal condition for the voltage protection level. If the varistor voltage of the downstream SPD is equal to or lower than that of the upstream SPD, the precise voltage protection level is obtained. However, this may cause serious problems with regard to energy sharing. The coordination for energy sharing and voltage protection level is fairly achieved when the cascaded SPD system consists of two voltage-limiting SPDs separated by 3 m and with the same varistor voltage.

"전지구기후서비스체계" (GFCS)는 2009년 제3차 세계기후회의에서 기후변화 대응 취약 국가와 소외계층에 대해 보다 효율적인 기후정보를 제공하기 위한 전지구차원의 서비스 제공체계 구축 필요성에 대한 공감을 바탕으로 제안되어, 현재 세계기싱기구를 중심으로 관련 UN 및 국제기구간 공조를 통해 향후 약 10년 동안에 걸쳐 이를 이행하기 위한 노력을 기울일 예정이다. GFCS는 과학적 기후정보와 기후예측을 기후변화 적응과 기후위기관리를 상호 연계할 수 있는 기후서비스 개발을 주도하게 된다. GFCS의 기본구조는 5개 주요 요소로 구성되어 있는데, 이에는 관측/모니터링, 연구/모형/예측, 기후서비스정보시스템 및 사용자인터페이스 플랫폼과 함께 이들 모두를 포괄하는 역량개발이 포함되어 있다. 현재 GFCS의 편익분야 중 자연재해경감, 수자원, 보건 분야와 함께 농업/식량안보분야가 4대 우선순위에 포함되어 있는데, WMO의 농업기상위원회(CAgM)은 동분야에 대한 GFCS의 효율적 이행을 지원하기 위해 GFCS의 5개 요소별로 이를 보완하기 위한 전구차원 선도적 협력방안(GIAM)을 제안 추진하고 있다. GIAM의 취지는 기존의 기후서비스체계의 개별적 서비스 구조를 통합하거나 미흡한 부분을 보완하는 방법 등 최소한의 추가적인 자원 투입으로 최대 시너지효과를 도출하는데 중점을 두고 있다. 관측분야는 전구생물계절관측협의체 구축, 연구분야는 지역/전구 농림기상 파일롯프로젝트 도출, 기후서비스분야는 기존 농업기상웹서버인 WAMIS의 지역 및 기능 확대, 사용자인터페이스분야는 기존 사이버농업기상협의체를 보완하기 위한 전구 농림기상학술협의체 구축, 그리고 역량개발분야는 전구농림기상교육훈련센터 구축 등이 추진 중에 있으며, 이들간의 유기적인 연동 지원을 위한 조정기구와 지원사무국의 설립도 기상청에 의해 가시화되고 있으며, 효율적인 운영을 위한 새로운 거버넌스도 미국 조지메이슨대를 중심으로 구축 중에 있다. 한편 GIAM의 성공적인 이행을 위해서는 전산자원 인프라 구축이 선행되어야 함으로 현재 WAMIS를 지원하기 위해서 세계기상기구 정보시스템(WIS)의 자료수집/생산센터(DCPC-WAMIS) 구축 및 회원국간 전산자원공유를 위한 클라우드 및 그리드 환경 구축도 기상청과 KISTI/부경대 등의 협조를 얻어 추진 중에 있다, GIAM의 궁극적인 목표의 하나는 차세대 기후변화 대응 농림기상전문가의 양성에 있는데 이를 구현하는 방안으로 회원국의 추천을 받은 후보자를 전구농림기상 교육훈련센터 대학원 과정에 학비/수업료 면제조건으로 입학시킨 후, 지역 파일롯프로젝트에 연구원으로 참여, 이를 통해 생활비 등 지원을 받는 한편 농림기상 학술협의체 회원 활동, 국내외 실무그룹 활동 등을 통해 농림기상분야 국제전문가로 양성함으로써 향후 회원국 농업/식량안보분야 기후변화 대응에 절대적으로 필요한 핵심정책연구 담당자로서의 역할을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
