Aim: To assess the diagnostic utility of serum and salivary interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in the differential diagnosis of potentially malignant lesions and conditions (PMLs/PMCs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a high oral cancer prevalence region. Methods: After appropriate ethical clearance and informed consent, salivary and blood samples were collected from 100 participants in each group (OSCC, PMLs, and healthy controls). Serum and salivary IL-6 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and data were subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. Results: Significant differences in IL-6 concentration were noted between OSCC and PML/C patients in both serum and saliva, with salivary levels being 2 to 3 fold higher than serum values in all the groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated 96% specificity and 99% sensitivity for salivary IL-6 in differentiating PML from OSCC. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that the pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-6, is elevated in the saliva of patients with OSSC compared to PMD and controls, and thus may prove to have diagnostic and/or prognostic significance.

This paper describes a current-shaping method for the production of constant torque of SRM under the nonlinear magnetic saturation condition. A current detection technique in the inductance increasing region and an approximation technique for modeling of nonlinear inductance profile are adopted. In the proposed system, a single switching angle control and voltage control is used to shape the current waveform for the generation of flat torque at any given load condition. Finally the validity of the proposed method was verified using a constructed 3HP 6/4 SRM.

RM(Switched Reluctance Motor)＇s Torque is generated by phase-current and inductance profile. A new analytical concept is proposed to determine the turn-off angle for maximization of the torque output. This paper describes a new method to maximization the average torque of a current control Switched Reluctance Motor. It is based on the simplified turn-off angle equation using least square method. Simulations carried out on a three-phase 6/4 pole SRM justify the algorithm is described. The suggested maximization average torque is verified by simulation in this paper.

In this paper, several inverter power circuit that are suitable for switched reluctance motor(SRM) drives are analyzed and compared with each other, Because the converter choice depends on the motor design, the analysis and selection are done for 6/4 SRM. Not considered in this paper is another class of inverter topologies for motor with bifilar windings. The proposed converter is applied to 3phase, 6/4 SRM.

In order to obtain the maximum characteristics of motors such as torque and efficiency, all motors basically use universal inverters designed for each motor's characteristics. However, if you look at the recent research results, you can see cases of SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) driving studies using 6-switch inverters, which are BLDC(Brushless DC Motor) universal inverters, and research cases of driving 3-phase BLDC motors using 4-switch inverters. Therefore, it is possible to search for research methods by approaching various methods of driving and control that can drive each motor apart from the existing universal inverter. In line with this research trend, in this paper, a C-dump type converter, which is an SRM drive converter, was applied as a drive driver for a BLDC motor, and its characteristics and possibilities were studied.

Cost reduction requires lowering number of power devices used in the converter driving SRM. This is quite feasible in SRM drive systems than in other drive systems. This paper deals with analysis and simulation of a novel two phase SRM. A novel two phase SRM has high performance, self-starling capability, high efficiency, and low manufacturing cost. Additionally, the stator back iron does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited leading to a greater reduction in core losses. The magnetic analysis and design considerations of the novel two phase SRM have been obtained by the finite element analysis (FEM).

In this paper, a new control scheme to use 6-switch inverters for 3-phase switched reluctance motors (SRM) is proposed. Compared with the conventional asymmetric converter topology, it can minimize the entire system size and cost and can increase the efficiency. Therefore, it may have a new topology for SRM to compete the other ac motors, such as induction motors, brushless dc motors, and soon. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and experimental results.

The microorganism was isolated from the night soil treatment plant for the removal of sulfur compounds. The growth conditions of the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were investigated and the isolate characterized as Thiobacillus noveilus SRM. The optimal pH of Thiobacillus novellus SRM on cell growth was pH 7.0 and the optimal temperature was 30$^{\circ}C$ and the optimal air flow rate was 1 vvm, respectively. As a results of cell growth from the Monod plot, the specific growth rate was 0.032 hr$\^$-l/, $V_{max}$ was 1.43 hr$\^$-l/ and $K_{m}$ was 0.32, respectively. The thiosulfate oxidation by Thiobacillus novellus SRM was made of sulfate ion. The sulfate ion reduced pH and decreased cell growth.

Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) has a characteristic that the inductance changes very nonlinearly depending on the magnitude of the current and the relative position of the rotor and stator, and the torque is generated In consideration of these problems, many studies have been conducted on a topology for driving that can improve efficiency and performance in an existing asymmetric bridge converter in order to simplify the circuit and economic efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we want to check the performance by comparing and analyzing each converter used by applying it as a topology for SRM driving. The driving converters applied to the comparison and analysis are Conventional C-dump, Modified C-dump, Energy efficient C-dump, Resonant C-dump converter with C-dump converter type structure and the most widely used asymmetric bridge converter and 6-Switch inverter that used for general motors.

The single phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) has many merits; simple structure and driving circuits, easy operation and speed control, and etc. This paper presents the torque characteristics of disk type single phase SRM by changing the salient pole lengths and pole arcs. The prototype single phase SRM has a three dimensional magnetic flux pattern because of its structure. That is, the radial and axial magnetic flux contributes to torque generation. Thus, 3D analysis is required for computation of its magnetic field. In this paper, 3D FEM is used for analyzing the magnetic flux distribution and magnetic co-energy.
