One of the purposes of arc control is to change its state to the diffuse state before current zero as soon as possible. This can provide optimal conditions for full extinction of arc by minimizing the quantity of residual plasma between contacts near current zero. TRV(transient recovery voltage) occurs at current zero at the same time with current interruption. If there is substantial residual plasma near current zero it can cause 'post arc current' by the interaction of its conductance with TRV. In this paper, arc control ability as a function of configuration of spiral type VI contacts was compared on the criteria of the time taken for arc to reach to the diffuse state.

Speech and language functions are highly cognitive and human-specific features. The underlying causes of normal speech and language function are believed to reside in the human brain. Developmental persistent stuttering, a speech and language disorder, has been regarded as the most challenging disorder in determining genetic causes because of the high percentage of spontaneous recovery in stutters. This mysterious characteristic hinders speech pathologists from discriminating recovered stutters from completely normal individuals. Over the last several decades, several genetic approaches have been used to identify the genetic causes of stuttering, and remarkable progress has been made in genome-wide linkage analysis followed by gene sequencing. So far, four genes, namely GNPTAB, GNPTG, NAGPA, and AP4E1, are known to cause stuttering. Furthermore, thegeneration of mouse models of stuttering and morphometry analysis has created new ways for researchers to identify brain regions that participate in human speech function and to understand the neuropathology of stuttering. In this review, we aimed to investigate previous progress, challenges, and future perspectives in understanding the genetics and neuropathology underlying persistent developmental stuttering.

In this study, rice candy was produced with mulberry leaf and its effect on the lowering blood glucose level was assessed. The results were as follows: The recovery rate of mulberry leaf powder was 32.7%. The contents of crude protein, lipid, ash and crude fiber of mulberry leaf were 19.54%, 4.82%, 12.80%, and 11.27%, respectively. The sensory evaluation revealed that the rice candy added with 1% mulberry leaf powder showed slightly hi인or palatability score than that of 2%, but we decided that 2% addition of mulberry leaf powder would be preferred over 1% if considering both the physiological function and the sensory acceptability. The blood glucose level after ingesting the rice candy with mulberry leaf lowered by 31%, more than that of control.

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of Prunus mume extract on gastric secretion in rats and experimentally carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage of rabbits. The groups of Prunus mume extract showed excellent increasing effect in total acidity and peptic activity and decreasing effect on gastric volume than the control group whereas clear differences were not found between sample adminstered group and control group in gastric pH. In liver function test Prunus mume extract exhibited rapid recuperation of liver function that is sGPT activity showed an apparant decreasing effect from the 6th day total cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase level from the 10th day respectively compared to the control group in carbon tetrachloride-intoxicated rabbits. It is, is suggested that Pruns mume extract can be used as the stomachics to promote the gastric digestion by increasing the peptic activity and health food to shorten the recovery time from liver diseases.

Purpose : The purpose of this article was to review the literature on change of knee position sense after total knee replacement intervention in knee rehabilitation. Methods : This review outlines scientific findings regarding different literature data in knee rehabilitation, and discusses proprioceptive change of knee joints after total knee replacement intervention. Result : Severe pain and diminished joint sensation may precipitate degenerative changes of knees joint, and a strong association between decreased proprioception and function has been identified in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Total knee replacement(TKR) of the knee joint are effective surgical procedures in osteoarthritis patients, resulting in decreased pain, and improved physical function and quality of life in patients. After total knee replacement, joint position sensation is partially recovered, which may improve functional stability of the knee, but aspects of physical functioning are not fully restored to preoperative status. Conclusions : Thus, recovery rate in proprioception after TKR also is considered to be important because it may be a significant risk factor in failure of total knee replacement and knee rehabilitation intervention.

The potential for enhancing myocardial protection by adding high-energy phosphate to cardioplegic solutions [St. Thomas Hospital solution] was investigated in a rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic arrest. Creatine phosphate was evaluated as an additive to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. Creatine phosphate 10.0 mmol/L as the optimal concentration which improved recovery of aortic flow and cardiac output after a 30 minute period of normothermic [37oC] ischemic arrest. In comparing mechanical function in both groups the mean postischemic recoveries of aortic flow, cardiac output, stroke volume and stroke work [expressed as a percentage of its preischemic control] were significantly greater in STH-CP group than in CP- free control group. In addition to improving function and decreasing CK release, CP reduced reperfusion arrhythmias significantly decreasing the time between cross-clamp removal and return to regular rhythm from 81.8 * 13.9 [sec] in CP-free group to 35.9 * 6.8 [sec] in CP group [P< 0.05] so, exogenous CP exerts potent protective and antiarrhythmic effects when added to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. However, the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated.

The purpose of this study Is to recommand all kinds of library in Korea to develop a disaster plan. The materials in the library are apt to get damaged at once by such disasters as fire or flood etc. It is fortunate that we Have not found any big disaster at libraries in Korean. considering many cases of big disaster which distroy materials at library in foreign countries. In spite of the posibility of disaster any time, that will make librry loss of function, there are no library that have a disaster plan in Korea. Disaster plan is a guidance by which materials are conserved at ordinary times, protected and recoverd in contingency. It consists by four elements: prevention, preparedness, reaction and recovery. As libraries function by biblogrophic data and user data in automation system, it is also recommended to prepare system protection in the disaster plan.

A quantitative model for a control system that integrates human operators, systems, and their interactions is developed based on discrete functions. After identifying the major entities and the key factors that are important to each entity in the control system, a quantitative analysis to estimate the recovery failure probability from an abnormal state is performed. A numerical analysis based on assumed values of related variables shows that this model produces reasonable results. The concept of 'relative sensitivity' is introduced to identify the major factors affecting the reliability of the control system. The analysis shows that the hardware factor and the design factor of the instrumentation system have the highest relative sensitivities in this model. T도 probability of human operators performing incorrect actions, along with factors related to human operators, are also found to have high relative sensitivities. This model is applied to an analysis of the TMI-2 nuclear power plant accident and systematically explains how the accident took place.
