Several visualization techniques of laser diagnostics are presented for combustion phenomena, including Mie scattering for flow, Rayleigh and Raman scattering spectroscopy for major species, laser-induced fluorescence for minor species, and laser-induced incandescence for soot. These techniques have been applied to understand the various combustion phenomena more clearly, including buoyancy-dominant flow system, diffusion flam oscillation, laminar and turbulent lifted flames, flame propagation along a vortex ring, and soot zone characteristics. The usefulness of laser diagnostics on a better understanding of physical mechanism is demonstrated.

Objectives The aim of this study is to develop a cardiovascular simulator that can reproduce blood pressure pulse and blood flow similar to those of the human body. Methods In order to design a system similar to the human cardiovascular system, the required performances were determined by investigating the hemodynamic characteristics of the heart and the arterial system. Main organ to be imitated is heart in simulator. The rest of the system was minimally designed. Also, a blood pressure and blood flow measurement system was developed for measuring the results. Results The developed system showed blood pressure pulse at similar range of the human aorta. The result waveform include primary wave caused by ventricular systole except reflected wave. Conclusions The blood pressure and blow flow patterns were replicated by the simulator. These patterns were similar to those of the human body. The system will play an important role in studying pulse diagnostics.

The characteristics of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) in He discharge are measured with electrical and optical diagnostics methods. The discharge phenomenon in one cycle of the APPJ was diagnosed using intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) imaging. The gate mode images show that the propagation of plasma bullets happens only when the applied voltage on the inner conductor is positive. Moreover, the Schlieren image of the plasma jet shows that the laminar flow is changed into a turbulent flow when the plasma jet is turned on, especially when the gas flow rate increases.

In this paper, the hybrid algorithm of Support Vector Machine md Artificial Neural Network is used for the defect diagnostics algorithm for the aircraft turbo-shaft engine. The results of learning of ANN, especially, accuracy or speed of convergence are sensitive to the number of data, so a comparison between design point and off-design area, especially, Mach number and fuel flow variable area, is essential research. From application results for diagnostics of gas turbine engine, it was confirmed that the hybrid algorithm could detect well in the of-design area as well as design point.

The authors are using Qi-diagnosis (integrated diagnosis by bio-energy) that is a method of diagnosis and treatment. We applied Qi-diagnosis to the main study to lay the foundation and framework for research and education about the Korean Medicine. The authors try to describe systemically and specifically the Qi-diagnosis that the authors are using in clinical diagnosis ane treatment so that anyone can use it. The authors have been able to grasp the flow of human bio-energy through years of training. It has had many effects by applying the Qi-diagnosis to patients. The steps of the bio-energy flow have become objective. And the authors have been applied to acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, bruising treatment and anthrax anesthesia in clinical through the Qi-diagnosis. Also, it is applied to the life management of patients. It is applied to arts such as music therapy and art therapy. The deeper the depth of the Qi-diagnosis, the greater the opportunity to utilize the Qi-diagnosis. The Qi-diagnosis is the origin of the korean medicine. It was able to make diagnosis and treatment correct and to establish clues that the medical problems would be solved through the Qi-diagnosis. In order to do so, the diagnostician must be able to feel the auricular flow of the body accurately and objectively. In addition, he must have a comprehensive understanding of the overall framework of medicine. As a result, diagnosis and treatment of the patient as well as general problems of the patient can be identified and advised, so comprehensive treatment is possible. And it is not only a specific person can do it, but it is a diagnostic method that anyone can take if they take the basic steps step by step.

To analyze the effects of a new unknown peptide DEF on the growth of tumor cells, a fused polypeptide TAT-DV1-DEF was designed and synthesized. The lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82 treated with TAT-DV1-DEF was analyzed with a cell counting kit 8, and the location of polypeptides in cells was observed under laser confocal microscopy. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection and changes in nuclear morphology were analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Finally, the mechanism of tumor cell growth inhibition was evaluated by Western blotting. We found that TAT-DV1-DEF could significantly inhibit the growth of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, but not the normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293. Polypeptides were found to be mostly localized in the cytoplasm and some mitochondria. The efficiency of polypeptide transfection in the two cell types was approximately 99%. Apoptotic nuclei were observed under fluorescence microscopy upon treatment with polypeptides and DAPI staining. Western blot analyses indicated that the polypeptide inhibition of tumor cell growth was apoptosis dependent. In the present study, we demonstrated that fused polypeptides could induce apoptosis of the lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, indicating that the new unknown peptide DEF has antitumor effects.

This article discusses a diagnostics method based on models, and information theory. From an extensive system dynamics bond graph model of a gearbox [1], simulated were various cases germane to this diagnostics approach, including the response of an ideal gearbox, which functions perfectly to designer's specifications, and degraded gearboxes with tooth root cracking. By comparing these cases and constructing a signal flow analogy between the gearbox and a communication channel, Shannon' s information theory [2], including theorems, was applied to the gearbox to assess system health, in terms of ability to function.

The thrombosis is the category of blood stasis. Blood stasis is a pathologicial state resulting from the reverse or impeded flow of blood in the body or the stagnation of blood flow in local parts as well as abnormal blood outside of the vessles which remains in the body and fails to disperse. Hwao-tang has been reported to have a hypolipidemic effect in patients with hypercholesterolemia, and in highcholesterol-induced experimental models. The present paper reports the effects of HOT on atherosclerosis using a spontaneous experimental model, Kurosawa and Kusanagi-hypercholesterolemic (KHC) rabbits. We have also investigated the pharmacological effect of extracts obtained from HOT on collagen-and ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation, thrombin-induced conversion of fibrinogen and fibrinolysis in in vitro experiments. In conclusion, the protection of extracts of Korean herbs' HOT on the ischemic infarction induced artificially might be involved to their inhibition of thrombotic action.

Objectives The authors feel the Qi(氣) through the training, and diagnose and treat our patients through the feeling. In order to utilize the Qi-daignosis, we try to summarize the authors's training process by examining what and how to use the Qi-daignosis. Methods The authors have gathered empirical parts of the psychological part and the various methods of training, through what they need most and how to train them. And we want to describe them in order of importance. Result First of all, with psychological sense of securit you should practice trainingy. It should be able to maintain the unity of the body through relaxation on the basis of 'no thinking only watching'. You must concentrate your energy through concentration and strengthen your inner work. Then you can feel the flow of energy inside your body and you can feel the interaction between the outside and your body. Conclusion By doing this, you naturally begin to apply the Qi-daignosis to your patients. It is not only possible for some doctors with specific abilities. Anyone can feel the Qi(氣) through clinical training and use the Qi-daignosis.
