All the power generating station require dc auxiliary power systems to operate those dc components that must be available if a loss of ac power occur. Some examples of such components are auxiliary motors, circuit breakers, relays and solenoids. The dc source may be one common battery for both power and control or two separate batteries; one for power and another for control. Typically, a dc auxiliary power system is designed as an ungrounded system, instead of grounded system, so that a low-resistance ground fault on one of its two polarities will not affect the operation of the system, thus increasing system reliability and continuity of service. A ground detector should provide a high polarity-to-ground resistance so that a single ground fault occurring on the system will not affect the operation of that system. Sensitive relays have been known to energize momentarily while the cable and capacitive charge to ground shifts[1]. A power station had experienced this kind of incident and performed root cause analysis based on PC based simulation program known as PSpice. This simulation showed adapted relays on the system energize momentarily and design criteria on this relay should be corrected.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the phase transition according to the zirconia surface treatment. Methods: The specimens were divided to four groups. The first group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$ and ground; the second group was sintered at $700^{\circ}C$, ground, and sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$; the third group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$, ground, and $110{\mu}m$-sandblasted; and the fourth group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$, ground, $110{\mu}m$-sandblasted, treated with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid, and ultrasonic cleaner-washed for two minutes. The monoclinic fractions were measured, and the surface was observed via SEM. Results: The monoclinic fraction was $0.13{\pm}0.19%$ in the control group Zr1, $1.91{\pm}0.15%$ in the experimental group Zr2, $7.71{\pm}0.34%$ in Zr3, and $8.39{\pm}0.25%$ in Zr4. On the surface, the phase transition hardly occurred in the control group Zr1, but it increasingly occurred in the experimental groups Zr3 and Zr4. Conclusion: The monoclinic fraction was high in the experimental groups Zr3 and Zr4. The phase transition did not occur in the control group, but increasingly occurred in the experimental groups.

Controlling the production of diverse cell/tissue types is essential for the development of multicellular organisms such as animals and plants. The Arabidopsis thaliana root, which contains distinct cells/tissues along longitudinal and radial axes, has served as an elegant model to investigate how genetic programs and environmental signals interact to produce different cell/tissue types. In the root, a series of asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) give rise to three ground tissue layers at maturity (endodermis, middle cortex, and cortex). Because the middle cortex is formed by a periclinal (parallel to the axis) ACD of the endodermis around 7 to 14 days post-germination, middle cortex formation is used as a parameter to assess maturation of the root ground tissue. Molecular, genetic, and physiological studies have revealed that the control of the timing and extent of middle cortex formation during root maturation relies on the interaction of plant hormones and transcription factors. In particular, abscisic acid and gibberellin act synergistically to regulate the timing and extent of middle cortex formation, unlike their typical antagonism. The SHORT-ROOT, SCARECROW, SCARECROW-LIKE 3, and DELLA transcription factors, all of which belong to the plant-specific GRAS family, play key roles in the regulation of middle cortex formation. Recently, two additional transcription factors, SEUSS and GA- AND ABA-RESPONSIVE ZINC FINGER, have also been characterized during ground tissue maturation. In this review, we provide a detailed account of the regulatory networks that control the timing and extent of middle cortex formation during post-embryonic root development.

Purpose: Gait training for stroke patients focuses on adjusting to new environments to facilitate outdoor walking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of various ground obstacle walking combined with treadmill walking on the gait parameters and functional gait ability of chronic stroke patients. Methods: Twenty-four chronic stroke patients were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 12) and a control group (n = 12). The experimental group received a combined gait training using various ground obstacle walking and treadmill walking (VGOW) five times/week for four weeks. The control group received traditional treadmill training (TW) five times/week for four weeks. Patients were evaluated using the figure-8 walk test (F8WT) and the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) before and after each intervention. Results: The ANCOVA results showed that both treatments significantly influenced F8WT steps, F8WT time, and FGA score. The paired t-test results showed a significant improvement in F8WT steps, F8WT time, and FGA score in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: Combined gait training using various ground obstacle walking and treadmill walking can improve gait ability in chronic stroke patients.

This paper proposes design and development of the Integrated Ground Support System (IGSS) for the flight test of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which combines ground support and ground control. The integrated flight test of the UAV is a necessary procedure to validate the functionality of the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). In order to execute cost-effective and systematic flight tests, the IGSS is regarded as an inevitable infrastructure of UAS for small laboratories. The proposed IGSS has functions of ground control, radio communication, power generation, transportation and the maintenance of the UAV.

The multi-channel video streaming system is an essential device for future ground combat vehicles. For the system, the application of digital interfaces is required instead of the direct analog method to support selectable multiple channels. However, due to the characteristics of the digital interfaces that require en/decoding and signal conversion, the system should support the ability to adapt to quality and delay requirements depending on how video data is utilized. To support addressed issue, this study designs and emulates the multi-channel compressed-video streaming system of ground combat vehicle's fire control system based on commercial standards. Using the system, this study analyzes the quality of video according to the rotational speed of the acquisition device and Glass-to-Glass (G2G) delay between video acquisition and display devices according to video compression rates. Through these experiments and analysis, this paper presents the design direction of the system having scalability on the latest technology while providing high-quality video data streaming flexibly.

In the field of forest disaster prevention, drones are expected to save higher human resources than the existing manpower has, and produce high-efficiency results over time. However, operational limitations brought by short flight times have brought the environment of limited use of the various capabilities of the drone, and the existing development systems operating the multi-drone are mainly for performance purpose, so it is a difficult to use for forest disaster prevention. The purpose of this paper is to design the concept based on multi-drone operation procedure through analysis of mission of ground control system for forest disaster prevention.

The tillage operation by rotary implements is widely done in Korea. In the case of rotary implements, the tillage depth control system is one of important implement control systems. A contact type-sensor for measurement of the ground height was designed and fabricated to evaluate the possibility of application of the sensor on the tillage depth control system. Indoor experiments were conducted to obtain static and dynamic detection characteristics of the sensor under various conditions; 1) several moisture contents for four soil samples, 2) two soil surfaces with a designed configuration, 3) four heights of the sensor from the soil surface, 4) five traveling speeds of the carrier on which the sensor was attached, and so on. The experimental results showed the detection characteristics of the sensor sufficient as the ground height sensor of the tillage depth control system.
