This paper presents an application of a improved branch exchange (IBE) algorithm with a tie branch power (TBP) flow equation to solve the Optimal Routing problem for operation of a radial Power system including power distribution system. The main objective of the Optimal Routing problem usually is to minimize the network real power loss and to improve the voltage profile in the network. The new BE algorithm adopts newly designed methods which are composed by decision method of maximum loss reduction and new index of loss exchange in loop network Thus, the proposed algorithm in this paper can search the optimal topological structures of distribution feeders by changing the open/closed states of the sectionalizing and tie switches. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with the practical IEEE 32, 69 bus test systems and KEPCO 148 bus test system to show favorable performance gained.

We studied the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) on the adipose conversion of 3T3-L1 cells by insulin. In the 10 days of culture with insulin, the fat cells exhibited the increased and larger intracytoplasmic lipid droplets. In contrast, the levels of triglyceride(TG), a marker of adipose conversion, were decreased. However, the levels of glucose were decreased in the adipose conversion. In addition, levels of cholesterol were decreased in the differentiated 3T3-L1 cells.

Suppuratives bronchopneumonia was found in a 3-month old domestic muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus). Dead muskrat showed hemorrhagic nasal discharge, severe hemorrhage and consolidation were observed in the lungs in necropsy. Histologically, severe polymorphic neutrophils and alveolar macrophages were infiltrated in the bronchus, bronchioles, alveoli. P. multocida and B. bronchiseptica were identified from the lungs, Klebsiella was isolated from the cecum. We demonstrated those organisms by biochemical test and confirmed P. multocida capsular type A by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

A low loss reflection type analog phase shifter which is realized with two varactors and branch coupler. is described. A new design technique for the large phase shift is applied using short stub microstripe lines. This paper presented the realization of design and experimental results. Through the experiment using the duroid microstrip line and varactors, the phase of 2.26GHz signal is controlled to the DC voltage with the phase shift range of 170$^{\circ}$. The achieved insertion loss of less than 3㏈ and the return loss of mote than 12㏈ are achieved over all phase states.

The study analyzes those relations of customer service level of each sales branch, level of cooperations among branches, and overall system-wide service level for an item. Under the continuous review method, each sales branch places an order to the outside supplier, and the each branch receives the order quantity after elapsing a certain lead time. Under these circumstances, those branches with stockout condition may be supplied by other branches with keeping stocks to cover the shortages. This policy generally increases the system-wide customer service level for an item throughout cooperations for the safety plan among branches. Therefore, in the context of inventory policy, the decision rules to determine the proper branch levels of service and cooperation levels of service are important goals in terms of attaining desired system-wide service level. This research has suggested the method and procedure to reach above goals.

This paper introduces a B-spline based branch & bound algorithm for global optimization. The branch & bound is a well-known algorithm paradigm for global optimization, of which key components are the subdivision scheme and the bound calculation scheme. For this, we consider the B-spline hypervolume to approximate an objective function defined in a design space. This model enables us to subdivide the design space, and to compute the upper & lower bound of each subspace where the bound calculation is based on the LHS sampling points. We also describe a search tree to represent the searching process for optimal solution, and explain iteration steps and some conditions necessary to carry out the algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is examined on some test problems which would cover most difficulties faced in global optimization area. It shows that the proposed algorithm is complete algorithm not using heuristics, provides an approximate global solution within prescribed tolerances, and has the good possibility for large scale NP-hard optimization.

A wideband monopole antenna using a parasitic branch is proposed for allowing operations at multiple frequency bands specified in GSM($824{\sim}894MHz$), PCS($1750{\sim}1870MHz$), WiBro($2.3{\sim}2.4GHz$), WLAN/ISM ($2.4{\sim}2.48GHz$) and SDMB($2.605{\sim}2.655GHz$). We have used two branch monopoles and the one parasitic branch. Prototype of the multiband antenna have been successfully implemented and good radiation characteristics the operating frequency bands have been obtained. The effect of a parasitic branch was also studied.

Almost all injection molds have multi-cavity runner system fur productivity and are designed with geometrically balanced runner system in order to minimize filling imbalance between cavity to cavity during processing. However, filling imbalances have been observed though geometrically balanced runner lay-out. Generally, these filling imbalances are due to thermal unbalance, viscosity, characteristic of polymers and so on. These kinds of filling imbalances have already been reported by Beaumont since 1997, but his research has mainly focused on filling imbalance at binary runner. In this study, we conducted an experimental study about the filling imbalances in unary branch runner as well as binary branch runner and inquired into the causes of filling imbalances. The results could be summarized as fellowing: Filling imbalances existed in multi-cavity mold with unary branch runner, it could be decreased by optimizing processing condition such as increasing injection rate, and it is almost proportion to each polymer's temperature sensibility.
