With the increasing demand of foreign language education in colleges, an effective testing and study system is also needed especially for large scale classes. In this paper, 1 propose a new online system for running large scale foreign language classes which supports not only testing function but also individually customized studying and diagnosis functions. Using the proposed system enables saving of testing space and helps all students get equally good testing and study environment regardless of class size and lecturers.

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy, and causes a significant morbidity with an impact on the quality of life in the patients with diabetes. Since DPN frequently induces foot deformity and ulceration, which finally leads to foot amputation, the early detection and treatment is very important for the prevention of a permanent structural change. In the early stage of DPN, the diagnostic methods which can evaluate the function or structure of small nerve fibers should be employed because small nerve fibers are first involved in the course of DPN. However, the nerve conduction study cannot reflect the function of the small nerve fibers, and thus, has a definite limitation in the early diagnosis of DPN. For the early detection of DPN, electrodiagnostic data should be interpreted on a clinical context, along with the careful evaluation of the small nerve fiber functions using the tests such as the analysis of intraepidermal nerve fiber density.

Acute kidney injury (AKI), formerly referred to as acute renal failure (ARF) is defined as the sudden impairment of kidney function (estimated from the glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) that results in the lack of excretion of waste products. More than 30 definitions of AKI exist in the literature, most of which are based on serum creatinine. Lack of a uniform and multidimensional AKI definition has led to failure to recognize significant renal injury, delays in treatment, and inability to generalize single-study results. The RIFLE criteria were developed to standardize the diagnosis of ARF and in the process the term AKI has been proposed to encompass the entire spectrum of the syndrome from minor changes in renal function to requirement for renal replacement therapy. Large prospective studies are needed to test definitions and to better understand risk factors, incidence, independent outcomes, and mechanisms that lead to poor short- and long-term outcomes. Early biomarkers of AKI need to be explored in critically ill neonates.

In this paper, a new expert system scheme, called Logic Based Expert System (LBES), is proposed for real time fault diagnosis of power system. In LBES, Expertise is represented by logical connectives and converted into a Boolean function. The set of Prime Implicants (PIs) of the Boolean function contains all the sound inference results which can be obtained from the expertise. Therefore, off-line inference is possible by off-line PI identification, which reduces the on-line inference time considerably and makes it possible to utilize-the LBES in real-time environment.

Degradation diagnosis of XLPE insulated URD cables was accomplished through out new method, which was to be analyzed by non-electrical experiments and synthesized by degradation points. To supplement this method, It was also carried out using several electrical analyses. Tan$\delta$ had commonly a different tendency by means of temperature and frequency and also appeared higher at the outer part rather than inner part of insulator. PD-q increased generally in proportion to the applied voltage and showed regular patterns in relation to the thickness of insulator Breakdown voltages were measured and breakdown lifetimes were predicted appling for Weibull distribution function.

Temporomandibular disorder(TMD) is described as a cluster of disorders characterized by pain in the preauricular area and/or the muscles of mastication; limitations or deviations in mandibular range of motion; and noises in the TMJ during mandibular function. The most common symptom in TMD patients is pain that is aggravated by chewing or other jaw function. These symptoms are appeared when the stimuli loaded in TMJ are over the physiologic tolerance. The primary goal in treatment of TMD is to alleviate pain and lor mandibular dysfunction. TMD treatment can be divided into 2 categories: reversible and irreversible methods. Reversible methods include medication, thermal therapy, habit modification, physical therapy, appliance therpy and arthrocentesis and lavage and irreversible methods include arthroscopic lysis, surgery, occlusal adjustment et al. It is widely accepted that reversible methods are ther first choice of treatments. However if reversible ones are not effective, irreversible methods are considered.

In this research, a novel battery charge system with embedded diagnosis function is proposed by using online impedance spectroscopy. The impedance spectroscopy technique is employed to investigate the impedance variation of the battery thereby estimating the state of health of the battery. A small voltage perturbation is applied to the battery by the voltage controller of the bidirectional converter with no additional hardware and the impedance of the battery is then calculated by the digital lock-in amplifier embedded in the DSP of the charger. The design procedure of the proposed charger is detailed and the feasibility of the system is verified by the experiments.

Among many dimensional and dimensionless amplitude parameters, kurtosis (4-th normalized moment of probability density function) is generally regarded as a sensitive good parameter for machine diagnosis. However, higher order moment may be supposed to be much more sensitive. Bicoherence is an absolute deterioration factor whose range is 1 to 0. The theoretical value of n-th moment divided by n-th moment calculated by measured data would behave in the same way. We propose a simplified calculation method for an absolute index of n-th moment and name this as simplified absolute index of n-th moment. Some favorable results are obtained.

Depression is a frequently developed psychiatric symptom after stroke. Poststroke depression(PSD) causes not only psychological distress related to depression but also other disturbances in many areas such as cognitive function, activities of daily living and quality of life. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of accurate detection and appropriate treatment of depression is mandatory in patients with stroke. This review focused on the current knowledge of PSD.

This paper presents an expert system for the fault section estimation and fault diagnosis in power transmission systems, which also has random event generation function for the purpose of operator training or educational experiment. The expert system is developed using an artificial intelligence language.
