Magnetic cables that can deliver high frequency AC electric power safely for flammable or sensitive workplaces preventing from arcs and electric shocks are firstly proposed in this paper. To deliver the power for a long distance, several new magnetic cable structures which drastically reduce the parallel leakage flux by appropriate magnetic shield between the magnetic cables are suggested; hence, the output power can be improved more than ten times. The proposed magnetic cables are fully analyzed and verified by simulations and experiments with good agreement. The output power and efficiency for a prototype magnetic cable of 1.5m long and 1 cm gap between parallel cores were measured as 154W and 67 %, where the source current and frequency were 10 A and 20 kHz, respectively.

During the last two decades, we experienced a few of the energy shocks and felt the importance of the energy saving seriously. As our energy reliance on other countries is absolute. We must counter these situations nationally. To save the electric energy, various methods are explored such as the moderation of motor capability, the use of high efficiency system, the supervision of lighting systems, demand monitoring control systems. In this study, we develop a system for electric power energy saving. In Case the receiving point voltage is higher than the required voltage, the system reduce the voltage to an allowable level and by doing so it saves energy and protects the equipments from over voltage.

The earth resistance is a essential basic factor of the performance of the earth. The earth enables system to be operated in a stable way not only against thunderbolts, unexpected transitional currents, the inflow of voltages and electric noises but also protect human life from electric shocks. In a domestic case, there is a technique criterion about earth technique but it falls short of reality since the content is very limitted, which causes a lot of problems to establish communications facilities. This paper gives the results through actual measurement or the earth resistance as reffered date in a way to improve these problems.

Two types of charged particle-type electronic paper display panels with electrodes using ITO and CNT are fabricated to compare durability and electro-optical characteristics. The sheet resistance of the ITO electrode is 10 (ohm/sq.), and the sheet resistance of the CNT electrode is 300, 600, 1000 (ohm/sq.), and durability is carried out by impact and flexibility measurements. Variation in case of the ITO electrode begins at shocks of 40 times and curvature radius of 10 mm, and no change is observed in the CNT electrode. The driving voltage, electric field required for particle movement, reflectivity, and response time measurements show similar results for all ITO and CNT electrodes.

As asbestos-containing buildings are getting older, asbestos deconstruction works are increasing. As a result, accident risks such as falls, cuts, electric shocks, and suffocation are increasing. Existing studies are mostly about health management and institutional policy research and there is little research on work risk. So workplace risk assessments that are easily applicable in the field are required to be applied. Sealing is the first process of asbestos deconstruction and is the first step to ensure worker's safety. Job Safety Analysis(JSA) and Checklist were used to identify the risk factors and to calculate the level of the risk. By comparing the two risk assessment tools, it was figured out that the JSA is appropriate for the initial process and change of work procedure while Checklist is appropriate for repetitive work. Because the sealing process is sort and simple, it is unlikely to cause serious injury. But since the risk of falling and cuts are exist, safety education and supervision are necessary to maintain a safe working environment.

The distribution line through which electricity is supplied from substation to customer generally varies by underground line and overhead line. In contrast that the underground line is shielded, the overhead lines do not have the shield layer. To overcome this weak point of the overhead lines, the aerial bundled cable(ABC) connection systems have been developed. The basic concept of the ABC connection system is the application of the underground cable system containing complete shield layer to the overhead cable system. The ABC system is the innovative technologies which enable the prevention of electric shocks, reduction of the maintenance charge and damage of the cable. This paper give a full detail of vertical connection system applied within a country.

Winter weather condition can cause icing and ice coats on 25 kV overhead contact wire. This generates shocks at the mechanical interface of the collecting strips of the pantograph and the contact wire and extra electrical resistance, which may affect quality of current collection at the contact wire / collecting strips of pantograph interface. De-icing operations should he performed just before train operation to avoid the formation of another ice layer. Thus, the work in this paper is investigation and analysis of de-icing system which could be applied to the electric car line of railways.

When 345 kV transmission lines began to be operated in 1976,electrostatic shocks were problems due to high electric field. By reducing the electirc field below 3.5 kV/m, the problems were solved. But recently a transmission line route.is proposed, nearby people strongly object to build the line worrying abour the effect of magnetic field,even though they do not really know the megnetic effect. Some environmentalists insists to reduce to reduce the magnetis field to a few mG near the transmission line. So we have studied the mitigation method to reduce magnetic field by two conductor passive loop.

Ungrounded power systems are adopted onboard vessels which enable more stabilized power supply even in case of electric leakage to hull. If earthing faults happen at these systems, they make grounding impedances of power lines unbalanced each other on the three phases, resulting in high voltages to hull which can bring more possibilities of electric shocks and electric fires. This study focuses on how to configure a calculation module for transferring a grounded condition by lowered insulation resistance into a vector diagram of the voltages to hull. By using the module, the loci of neutral points were acquired to analyze how voltages to hull are affected by earthing faults and the distributed capacitances between power lines and hull. The suggested module was simulated and compared to the measured values from a test power system in good results.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether alcohol alters learning and memory processes pertaining to emotional and spatial factors using the active avoidance and T-maze task in zebrafish. In the active avoidance task, zebrafish were trained to escape from one compartment to another to avoid electric shocks (unconditioned stimulus) following a conditioned light signal. Acquisition of active avoidance task appeared to be normal in zebrafish that were treated with 1% alcohol for 30 min for 17 days until the end of the behavioral test, and retention ability of learned behavior, tested 2 days later, was the same as control group. In the T-maze task, the time to find a reservoir was compared. While the latency was similar during the 1 st training session between control and alcohol-treated zebrafish, it was significantly longer in alcohol-treated zebrafish during retention test 24 h later. Furthermore, when alcohol was treated 30 min after 2nd session without prior treatment, zebrafish demonstrated similar retention ability compared to control. These results suggest that chronic alcohol treatment alters spatial learning of zebrafish, but not emotional learning.
