An advanced superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using $high-T_c$ superconducting (HTS) wire has been developed. The SFCL has a non-inductively wound magnet for reducing loss in normal state. Two types of non-inductively wound magnets, the solenoid type and the pancake type, were designed and manufactured by using Bi-2223 wire in this research. Short-circuit tests of the magnets were performed in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system of 65 K. The magnets are thermally more stable and have a higher critical current in 65 K sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system than in 77 K saturated one. Because the resistivity of matrix at 65 K is lower than the resistivity at 77 K, the magnets generate a small resistance to reduce the fault current when the quench occurs. The magnets could limit the fault current to low current level with such a small resistance. The current limiting characteristic of the magnets was analyzed from the test result. The solenoid type was wound in parallel to make it non-inductive. The pancake type was also connected in parallel to be compared with the solenoid type in the same condition. The solenoid type was found to have a good thermal stability compared with the pancake type. It also had as large resistance as the pancake type to limit the fault current in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system.

The purpose of this research was to study food behaviors and nutrient intakes according to body mass index(BMI) and body image recognition in 211 female university students in Incheon. The majority of the surveyed subjects were in the normal range for BMI. Most of these female university students preferred a thin body type and were not satisfied with their body shapes. Most also controlled their body weight for appearance by exercising and limiting food intake. The obese group often ate processed foods(p<0.01) and ate out(p<0.05). The underweight group and normal-weight group took vitamins and supplements more frequently(p<0.001). Those students who recognized their body image as a 'fat shape' had good appetites(p<0.05) and those who recognized themselves as 'normal shape' considered food formulations ate every meal (p<0.05) and consumed vitamins and other supplements frequently(p<0.01). The mean calorie intake of all students was about 80% of the recommend amount, so there was a risk of lack of various nutrients. The 'fat' students by body image recognition had lower calorie intakes in order to reduce body weight. In all the groups, there was a lack of vitamins $B_1$ and $B_2$, as well as the minerals Ca and Fe. Therefore, education on correct body image recognition and training on proper weight control are deemed necessary. In addition, education and counseling on nutrition that are tailored to individual status are needed.

전기주석도금용 PSA(Phenolsulfonic Acid Bath)계 전기주석 도금액은 장기간 사용하면 노화되어 도금 전류밀도 범위 축소 및 표면특성 열화현상이 일어나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 도금액 노화 현상의 원인을 축적된 phenolsulfonate농도 증가의 관점에서 조사하였다. 동전위와 정전위 분극실험 결과에서는, phenolsulfonate축적농도 증가에 따른 도금액의 노화 정도가 증가함에 따라 음극분극 초기에 나타나는 한계전류밀도가 점차 낮아지는 현상이 나타났다. Sodium phenolsulfonate를 첨가하여 phenolsulfonate끼 농도만을 조절한 도금액에서도 노화된 도금액과 거의 비슷한 분극 특성이 나타남으로써 도금액 노화의 원인이 축적된 phenolsulfonate임을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 도금액의 온도가 증가할수록 한계전류밀도가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않고 도금액 노화에 따른 영향이 적어져서 도금액의 노화는 물질이동과 같은 thermally-activated process의 제약에 의한 것이며, phenolsulfonate가 축적되면서 주석 이온의 mobility를 감소시키고, 따라서 정상적인 도금 반응이 억제되는 것으로 판단된다.

최근의 생산 공정은 공정의 자동화, 고객 요구의 다양화 등으로 많은 품질 특성치들을 갖는 다변량 공정의 형태가 일반적이며, 벡터 공정능력지수는 이러한 다변량 공정의 능력을 평가하기 위한 대표적인 측도라 할 수 있다. 한편 공정의 분포에 대한 정보를 정확히 파악하기 어려운 실제 현장의 상황에서 보다 정확한 공정능력을 평가할 수 있는 통계적 추정 문제는 현실적으로 중요한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정한 이변량 지수 공정 하에서 이변량 벡터 공정능력지수 $C_{pkl}$에 대한 신뢰영역의 추정 문제에 관하여 연구하였다. 먼저 지수분포의 특성을 고려하여 실제 현장에서 널리 사용되고 있는 가장 기본적인 일변량 공정능력지수들 중에서 규격 하한만을 고려한 형태인 $C_{pkl}$에 관하여 이변량 벡터 공정능력지수 $C_{pkl}=(C_{pklx},\;C_{pkly})$로 확장 정의하고, 이 지수의 플러그-인 추정량 및 관련 극한 확률분포를 유도하였다. 또한 이 지수에 대해 Marshall과 Olkin (1967)의 이변량 지수분포 모형을 기초로 근사 신뢰영역을 제시하였으며, 모의실험을 통하여 이변량 벡터 공정능력지수 $C_{pkl}$에 대한 95% 정규 근사(Asymptotic Normality: AN) 신뢰영역에 대한 이용가능성 및 효율성을 비교 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study is to prove the analgesic effects of apitoxin and its mechanism via jaw-opening reflex(JOR) and measuring expression of mRNA in Phospholipase and Tryptophan hydroxylase(TPH) using RT-PCR. The experiments were carried out on Sprague-Dawley rats(300-400g) and mastocytoma(P-185 HTR) for JOR and RT-PCR, respectively. Rats anesthetized with thiopental sodium (80mg/kg) were used in the Tooth Pulp stimulation induced JOR. The amplitude of a digastric electromyogram (dEMG) was recorded during the stimulation at an intensity of 1.5 times the threshold for JOR. Apitoxin used in this experiment was diluted with normal saline by 1:1000. Apitoxin was injected intravenously into the test group while normal saline to the control group. However, it was injected directly into the cell of mastocytoma. We referred to base sequence registered in Genbank in designing primers for RT-PCR. The results were as follows; (1)Compared with control group, analgesic effect started to show right after Sprague-Dawely rats were treated with apitoxin($71.50{\pm}8.08$) and lasted for 50 minutes. (2)As a result of the experiment of RT-PCR, we witnessed significant changes in the degree of expression of phospholipase or rate-limiting enzyme of biosynthesis of prostaglandins with $10{\mu}g/ml$ apitoxin.($31.74{\pm}18.98%$, P<0.05) (3)As a result of the experiment of RT-PCR, we witnessed significant changes in the degree of expression of TPH or rate-limiting enzyme in biosynthesis of serotonin with $10{\mu}g/ml$ apitoxin.($131.37{\pm}16.87%$, P<0.05). These results suggest that $10{\mu}g/ml$ apitoxin have the most analgesic effects. This study showed that apitoxin has analgesic effects and held good for 50 minutes. The injection of apitoxin has brought out changes in the degree of expression of phospholipase and TPH. These results strongly suggest that analgesic mechanism by apitoxin is closely related to prostaglandins and serotonin.

DC에는 전류 영점이 없기 때문에 DC 차단기의 차단 동작시 아크가 발생한다. 이때 발생하는 아크의 크기에 따라 회로 차단기의 열화 또는 그리드에 치명적인 사고를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 HVDC의 상용화에 있어서 DC차단기의 차단 성능의 안정성 확보는 대단히 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 DC 차단기의 성능과 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 초전도체가 적용된 LC 차단기를 제안하였다. 초전도 LC 차단기는 기존 LC 차단기의 인덕터에 초전도 코일을 적용한 구조로 되어있다. 초기 고장 전류를 제한하는 것 외에도 고장 발생시 안정적인 전류 0점을 생성한다. 이를 확인하기 위해 EMTDC / PSCAD 프로그램을 통해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 또한 초전도 LC 차단기는 일반 코일이 적용된 LC 차단기와의 동작 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 초전도 코일이있는 LC 회로 차단기는 일반 코일이있는 LC 회로 차단기에 비해 초기 고장 전류를 약 12kA 더 제한하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 DC 차단기의 아크 소화 시간을 약 0.16 초 단축시킬 수 있었고, 이를 통해 회로 차단기의 전기적 부담이 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Although ionizing radiation (IR) has been used to treat the various human cancers, IR is cytotoxic not only to cancer cells but to the adjacent normal tissue. Since normal tissue complications are the limiting factor of cancer radiotherapy, one of the major concerns of IR therapy is to maximize the cancer cell killing and to minimize the toxic side effects on the adjacent normal tissue. As an attempt to develop a method to monitor the degree of radiation exposure to normal tissues during radiotherapy, we investigated the transcriptional responses of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) following IR using cDNA microarray chip containing 1,221 (1.2 K) known genes. Since conventional radiotherapy is delivered at about 24 h intervals at 180 to 300 cGy/day, we analyzed the transcriptional responses ex-vivo irradiated human PBL at 200 cGy for 24 h-period. We observed and report on 1) a group of genes transiently induced early after IR at 2 h, 2) of genes induced after IR at 6 h, 3) of genes induced after IR at 24 h and on 4) a group of genes whose expression patters were not changed after IR. Since Biological consequences of IR involve generation of various reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thus oxidative stress induced by the ROS is known to damage normal tissues during radiotherapy, we further tested the temporal expression profiles of genes involved in ROS modulation by RT-PCR. Specific changes of 6 antioxidant genes were identified in irradiated PBL among 9 genes tested. Our results suggest the potential of monitoring post-radiotherapy changes in temporal expression profiles of a specific set of genes as a measure of radiation effects on normal tissues. This type of approach should yield more useful information when validated in in vivo irradiated PBL from the cancer patients.

In these days, the interruption capability of some circuit breakers, which are installed in the transmission systems, is getting lower than the magnitude of the fault current because of continuous increase of power demand and relatively short power line which was installed in forms of mesh network As a result of these situations, fault current limiters (FCLs) are strongly necessary. There are various types which is investigated around the world, and new power apparatuses that have been newly considered and developed by many manufactures. In this paper, we considered resistive superconducting fault current limiters with YBCO thin films. The resistive limiters utilize a transition of YBCO films from superconducting to normal state caused by exceeding the critical current. By means of newly occurred impedance, the fault current will be limited effectively. Generally, a few current path patterns are available for YBCO films to enhance the current limiting performance of YBCO films. In this paper. the meander-type and the bi-spiral-type were used for current paths of YBCO flims. When YBCO films are quenched into the normal state, bubbles could be observed on the surface of YBCO films. Using our high-speed camera, the number of bubbles and the size of bubbles could be visualized and the relation between bubbles and current density was analyzed. By means of moving pictures of bubbles, we observed how the quench extended or how the heat was conducted in films.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of increased aminotransferase levels and to identify associated factors in children admitted to hospital with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Methods: The study included children with a diagnosis of UTI who were admitted to the Konyang University Hospital from January 2007 to May 2011. The total number of patients was 249 and the mean age was $15.88{\pm}28.21$ months. UTI was defined as a positive urine culture (> $10^5$/colony forming unit [CFU]) with pyrexia. Patients were treated by intravenous antibiotics, such as ampicillin/sulbactam, aminoglycoside, cephalosporins or vancomycin. Patients with neonatal jaundice or other liver disease were excluded. We investigated the relationship of aminotransferase levels with the type of antibiotic, degree of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and causative organisms. Results: Children with increased aminotransferase levels were younger than those with normal levels (p=0.001), but white blood cell count, platelet count, causative organisms, type of antibiotics and presence of VUR were not associated with aminotransferase levels. Aminotransferase levels became normal within 1 month after discharge without special measures, except in 1 case. Conclusion: We found that many children with UTI have abnormal aminotransferase levels. In most cases, this change is mild and self-limiting. We conclude that increased aminotransferase level increase during UTI do not require unnecessary tests and excessive treatment.

핵연료 소결체와 피복관 사이의 간극 크기에 크게 좌우되는 간극 열전도도는 연료봉내 초기 저장에너지 양에 중요한 영향을 끼친다. 정상상태 계산용 ELESTRES 코드에서 사용 중인 수정된 Ross-Stoute 의 간극 열전도도 모델은 단순한 열적 변형 모델에 기초한다. 최근의 실험에서 핵연료 소결체가 연소됨에 따라서 균열, 소결체 재배열 등이 발생되고, 피복관 내부의 편심에 위치하게 된다는 것이 알려졌다. 본 논문에서는, 최근에 제안된 편심형 간극 모델과 소결체 재배열형 간극 모델 등이 기술되었고, 실험 조건과 중수로 핵연료봉의 운전조건 하에서의 소결체와 피복관 사이의 간극 열전도도를 계산하는데 이용되었다. 실험 치와 계산치가 잘 일치됨으로써, 수정된 Ross-Stoute 모델이 ELESTRES 코드 내에서 사용된 열전달 관련 가정들과 잘 부합됨을 보여 주었다. 출력 경계곡선을 따라서 수정된 Ross-Stoute 모델로 계산된 간극내 열전달과 핵연료 표면 온도 등이 편심형 간극 모델과 소결체 재배열형 간극모델에 의한 예측치보다 보수적이었다.
