Background: To identify the potential prognostic role of the neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio in larynx carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Oncologic archive charts of patients with a larynx carcinoma diagnosis between the years 2010 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. The inclusion criterion was to be available with hemogram test prior to diagnostic procedure. Patients undergoing septorinoplasty comprised the control group. Results: There were 65 cases in the study and 42 cases in control group meeting inclusion criteria. In general a non-significant increase in N/L ratio was observed with increasing tumor size and stage (p>0.05) in larynx carcinoma. The N/L ratio was found to be significantly higher in larynx carcinoma compared to control group (p=0.004). Conclusions: In conclusion, the N/L ratio was shown to be significantly increased in larynx carcinomas compared to control group. Further studies are needed to assess any prognostic role.

ABS is a safety device, which adds hydraulic system to the existing brake system to prevent wheel from locking, so we can obtain maximum braking force on driving. The hydraulic system to control braking pressure consists of sol-flow type using solenoid valve, flow control valve or consists of sol-sol type using two solenoid valve. In this paper, the hydraulic system in ABS is composed of sol type using a 3port-2position solenoid valve, and vehicle system is composed of 1/4 vehicle model. And slip ratio is controlled using PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) control algorithm. Braking friction coefficient and tracking friction coefficient which are described by slip ratio's function have maximum value when slip ratio has its value from 0.1 to 0.3. And slip ratio is controlled constantly in this boundary value even in the variation of road's condition in some boundary.

In this paper, a pressure control type ratio control valve(RCV) is designed for a metal belt CVT. Steady state and transient characteristics of the pressure control CVT are investigated by simulations and experiments. In addition, P-line is proposed to predict the shift performance. It is found that the bigger the pressure margin, the faster the shift response. It is expected that the P-line can be used in design of the RCV to meet the desired shift performance.

This study was conducted to investigate the cooking properties of noodles made from composite flour blended with green tea powder. As the ratio of green tea powder increased, development time was longer than that of the control. The stability of dough showed higher value than the control except 2% addition group. The highest viscosity was at the 4% addition group. but 2% addition group showed the lowest viscosity. As the additional ratio of green tea powder was increased. the volume expansion ratio was increased, but water soluble solid matters contents in all addition groups had a lower level than that of the control. Also, the yellowness level of noodle was increased, but the brightness, redness and color and flavor acceptability was decreased, as the additional ratio was increased. However. 2~4% addition group of green tea powder had a similar acceptability profile to that of the control group.

In this study, to investigate a characteristics of slip ratio control of H.C.U for ABS, half car model tester were developed and a new H.C.U. was compactly designed comparing to the commercical H.C.U. for ABS. In half car model tester, variable inertia wheel has been used to load the car weights and braking forces according to the road surface conditions which were realized by pneumatic cylinder. And solenoid valves using P.W.M. (Pulse Width Modulation) method were installed in the new H.C.U The slip ratio characteristics of tire had been measured using half car model tester and the results were used in the control simulation for a new H.C.U.

Indoor climate control equipments is used to make the indoor environment more comfortable when indoor condition is not satisfactory to inhabitants. In this study, which instrument is preferred to control indoor climate and which is not preferred were surveyed with questionnaire. With this result, the needs of dwellers and wanting performance of housing could be revealed. Results are followings 1) The satisfaction ratio and equipment possession ratio of apartment houses' is higher than that of detached dwelling's 2) It is recognized for inhabitants that air cleaner is the mostly used equipment and best equipment for indoor comfort. 3) Electronic fomentation mat is recognized as the most problematic equipment for securing inhabitant's comfort. And air conditioner is considered negative for 60% of responser's. As grow older, this trend is increasing.

This research is about the quality characteristics of white bread mixed with varying ratios of Seomcho powder, such as 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% (Spinacia oleracea L.). The pH level of dough decreased as more Seomcho powder (Spinacia oleracea L.) was added, and 7% addition recorded the lowest pH. The fermentation power of dough expansion decreased as the additional ratio increased in both the first and second proofing, and it was negatively correlated to the fermentation time factor. The moisture content of bread decreased as the addition ratio increased. The bread volume became smaller as the addition ratio increased, but it correlated negatively with its specific volume. The color of the crumb, the lightness and redness decreased in comparison to the control, but the yellowness increased. The total amino acid contents increased as the addition ratio increased, and glutamic acid was positively correlated to the additional ratio. The total free amino acids increased as the additional ratio increased, but cysteine levels were high at 5% and 7% additional ratio. The textural characteristics of the bread, springiness and cohesiveness were lower than the control, but gumminess, brittleness, and hardness were higher than the control. The adhesiveness was realized at 7% additional ratio.

This study proposes an intelligent semi-active isolation system combining a variable-stiffness control device and ground motion characteristic prediction. To determine the optimal control parameter in real-time, a genetic algorithm (GA)-fuzzy control law was developed in this study. Data on various types of ground motions were collected, and the ground motion characteristics were quantified to derive a near-fault (NF) characteristic ratio by employing an on-site earthquake early warning system. On the basis of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the derived NF ratio, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed. The control parameters were optimized using a GA. To support continuity under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the optimal control parameter was linked with the predicted PGA and NF ratio through the FIS. The GA-fuzzy law was then compared with other control laws to verify its effectiveness. The results revealed that the GA-fuzzy control law could reliably predict different ground motion characteristics for real-time control because of the high sensitivity of its control parameter to the ground motion characteristics. Even under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the GA-fuzzy control law outperformed the FPEEA control law in terms of controlling the isolation layer displacement and the superstructure acceleration.

This study deals with progressive collapse of a structure retrofitted with MR dampers. In order to assess their effect of mitigation which prevents progressive collapse, control force ratio is defined by friction force of MR dampers divided by external force. First, simple model of a structure with MR dampers is suggested. Using the model, exact solution with the control force ratio is obtained. When and where the system is stopped is predicted by the derived solution. Through the dissipated energy by MR dampers during collapse event, equivalent damping ratio is derived. Finally, comparison of exact and equivalent solutions is presented.

The objectives of this study are to examine the variation of flame chemiluminescence on flame condition and to evaluate the possibility to apply the optical sensor for air/fuel ratio control. Flame chemiluminescence is one of the most important factor to judge the real time flame condition like a air/fuel ratio. In this paper, it is experimentally found that a strong relationship between the air/fuel ratio and optical element output (i.e., photo diode) should be existed. This is verified through the flame spectral analysis for various PD output signal.
