The acute phase serum protein response is a well-known general indicator of inflammation, trauma or other pathological conditions and its relevance for the monitoring of the health status of domestic animals is being increasingly realized. The changes in serum protein composition which occur after tissue damage represent a part of the systemic response of the injured animals which is mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6 and IL-1. These responses play a vital role in containing the tissue damage and enhancing the processes of repair and resolution. From a clinical perspective, the assay of acute phase proteins can provide a method for detecting inflammation. In animals, the most sensitive acute phase proteins are haptoglogin, serum amyloid A and at-acid glycoprotein in response to inflammatory condition. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of the concentrations of serum amyloid A(SAA) and haptoglobin(HP) in serum of pigs infected with Aujeszky's disease virus(ADV). Fifty pigs infected with ADV and 5 normal pigs were used in this experiment. The mean serum concentration of Shh of pigs infected with ADV was 96.8 $\pm$ 7.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖(range, 36.0∼187.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖) and that of normal pigs was 42.9$\pm$3.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖(range, 17.3∼127.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖). The mean serum concentration of HP of pigs infected with ADV was 1,164.4 $\pm$ 96.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖ (range, 790.2∼l,769.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖) and that of normal pigs was 675.4 $\pm$ 56.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖ (range, 650.0-690.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖). The mean concentrations of SAA and HP in serum of pigs infected with ADV compared with those of normal pigs showed approximately a two-fold. It was concluded that the concentrations of Shh and HP in serum may proved to be diagnostic marker of Aujeszky's disease.

In this paper, we consider a cell management and handover method in an IEEES02.16e based femto-cell systems. In a femto-cell system, Mobile Stations (MS) and Base Stations (BS) are temporarily overloaded during the process of MOB_NBR-ADV message because it includes huge information of macro-cell and a large number of femto-cells. Also, MS can be handover into another cell frequently, i.e. ping-pong phenomenon, if it is located in a overlapped cell area. In a femtocell system, so-called ping-pong phenomenon will burden the network opreation. In this paper, we propose construction of MOB_NBR-ADV message and it provides fast scanning and efficent handover by means of preselecting the candidate target femto-cells. Also, an adaptive method of hysteresis margin for handover is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes improve the MS's handover-related performance in terms of scanning power and scanning time compared with the conventional managements scheme of femto-cell systems.

This paper reports results of a joint experimental and numerical investigation of the causes of near-transducer errors due to the combined effect of acoustic and ADCP-induced flow disturbance near the ADCP transducer. The laboratory study focused on an isolated ADCP (deployment without boat). Measurements of the flow disturbance produced by the ADCP in vertical and horizontal planes were obtained acquiring measurements with an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). Concurrent measurements with ADCP and ADV were made to infer additional near-transducer effects in the ADCP measurements. The numerical investigation was designed to extend the inquiry on the near-transducer potential errors when the ADCP is deployed from a boat. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was conducted to obtain the extent and magnitude of the disturbances induced by the drag acting on a boat-mounted ADCP and by the blockage effect of the instrument and boat. It is found the velocities measured by the ADCP are biased low and differ substantially from the undisturbed channel flow solution within a limited layer beneath the instrument.

The copper clad steel wire is used extensively as lead wires of electronic components such as capacitors, diodes and glass sealing lamp because the wire combines the strength and low thermal expansion characteristic of Fe-Ni steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. In order to fabricate the copper clad steel wire, several processes including electro-plating, tubecladding extrusion process and dip forming process have been introduced and applied. The electroplating process for the production of copper clad steel wire shows poor productivity and induces environmental load generation such as electroplating solution. The dip forming process is suitable to mass production of copper clad steel such as trolley wire. and need expensive manufacturing facilities. The present paper describes the improvement of the conventional continuous casting process to fabricate copper clad steel wire, which its core metal is low thermal expansion Fe-Ni alloy and its sheath material is copper. In particular, the formation of intermetallic compound at interface between core and sheath was investigated in order to introduce optimum continuous casting process parameter for fabrication of copper clad steel wire with higher electrical conductivity. The mechanical strength of copper clad steel wire was also investigated through wiredrawing process with of 95% in total reduction ratio.

The prosody can play a crucial role in differentiating ambiguous sentences to correctly reflect their intended syntactic structures. In what way do the speakers in Tokyo and Sendai dialects of Japanese use prosodic elements to differentiate syntactic ambiguities? Acoustic measurement was made of utterances of ambiguous sentences in Japanese to observe prosodic strategies for disambiguation. Materials were sentences of the type ADV-VP1-NP-VP2, ADV-NP1-NP2-VP2, where the ambiguity lies in locative adverbial modification, ADV modifying either VP1 or VP2. For this construction the Japanese create the same ambiguities. After defining the depth of a syntactic boundary, F0 of the phrase before and after the boundary, and duration of the syllable and pause before the boundary were measured. The results show that Tokyo dialects speakers use F0 after syntactic boundary, and Sendai dialects speakers use of the syllable and/or pause before the boundary.

The Atmospheric Dump Valve (ADV) and Turbine Bypass Valve (TBV) capacity test was performed at 30% power level during the YGN 3 Power Ascension Test period. In this test, several plant data were measured to calculate the ADV and TBV capacity considering that critical condition was developed through the ADV and TBV. The test results show that the test acceptance criteria are met.

A novel powder processing technique for the preparation of copper activated zinc sulfide (ZnS:Cu,Al) phosphor by combustion process has been proposed. Exothermic reaction between dissolved copper nitrate and carbohydrazide give small-sized particles in presence of alkali metal halides at lower temperature than the traditional method of preparation. This new route takes less than five minutes and requires much less energy. The optical and luminescence characteristics of ZnS:Cu,Al phosphor thus prepared were found to be enhanced significantly. Carbohydrazide acted as fuel at $500^{\circ}C$ with rapid heating and then the phosphors obtained were heated at $900^{\circ}C$ in an inert atmosphere for 3hrs to get better luminescent properties.

A 3-D finite element model of human thoracolumbar spine (T12-L2) was reconstructed from CT images. Various anterior and posterior instrumentation techniques were performed with long cage after corpectomy. Six loading cases were applied up to 10 Nm, espectively. The rotations of T12 with respect to L2 were measured and the stiffnesses were calculated as the applied forces divided by the segmental rotations. The posterior fixation technique increased the stiffness of the spine the most. The addition of anterior rod from 1 to 2 increased the stiffness significantly without posterior fixation, but no effect was found with posterior fixation. We found that different fixation techniques changed the stiffness of the spine.
