This paper examines the performance improvement of a photovoltaic power generation system with a surge protection function by applying a digital surge detection device for surge suppression in a direct current distribution panel applied to a photovoltaic power generation system. The main components used for surge protection are mainly SAD, MOV, and GTA components, and a digital surge detection device was additionally applied to this. Each component has advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance and functionality for surge protection, so a surge protection device with meaningful performance and functionality must be designed in a complex device structure that harmonizes the advantages and disadvantages of each component in order to construct a surge protection device with meaningful performance and function. Through empirical experiments, a performance analysis of a complex surge detection device to which a digital surge detection device is applied was conducted. As a result of the experiment, through absorption and blocking of surges detected through a digital surge detection device, it has both absorption and blocking performance for surges and exhibits surge absorption characteristics for hundreds of voltages in micro second. This performance showed a relatively stable state against surge noise compared to conventional devices, which produced an output waveform of stable quality in the inverter output waveform.

A simple methode for calculating the forward voltage drop of IGBTs is presented, on the voltage drops on the p+ body, the reverse biased depletion region between p+body and epi-layer, the epi layer, and the forward biased collector junction. The decrease of the total current density in the epi layer near the p+ body is taken into account. The proposed methode allows a simple but accurate determination of the forward voltage drop in IGBTs, avoiding the complex path taken in the previous model for the forward voltage drops on channel, accumulation region, and epi region. Numerical simulations for 1kV NPT-IGBT with a uniformly doped collector are shown to support the analytical results.

There are many channel confluences existing in natural river systems, where the hydraulics are very complex because of the interactive between tributary and main river The RMA-2 model Is applied in this paper to model the confluence between Uksu Chun subriver and Nam Chun main river. Based on three types of assumed confluence forms, the model resuits present the hydraulics at channel confluence can be divided into several zones including a zone of separation immediately downstream of the junction branch channel, a maximum and minimum velocity region at upstream and downstream in the confluent channel, and a shear plane developed between the two combing flows at downstream of confluent channel. And the different types of confluent forms performs a very high effect on drainability of tributary, so it is very necessary to design a reasonable confluent forms.

It is clear that when an automobile negotiates a curve the lateral acceleration causes an increase in tire normal load for the wheels on the outside of the curve and a decrease in load for the inside wheels. However, just how the details of the suspension linkages and the parameters of the springs and shock absorbers affect the dynamics of the load transfer os not easily understood. One even encounters the false idea that since it is the compression and extension of the main suspension springs spring body role which largely determines the changes in normal load, of roll could be reduced, the load transfer would also be reduced. Using free body diagrams, one can explain quite clearly how the load is transferred for steady state cornering, and, using complex multibody models of particular vehicles one can simulate in good fidelity how load transfer occurs dynamically. Here we adopt a middle ground by using the concept of roll center and using a series of half-car bond graph models to point out main effects. Since bond graph junction structures automatically and consistently constrain geometric and force variables simultaneously, they can be used to point out hidden assumptions of other simplified vehicle models.

Equinus contracture of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex is associated with many foot and ankle diseases. We introduce a new simple technique that can be performed using a minimal incision with simple devices. Briefly, 0.5 cm sized medial and lateral longitudinal skin incisions are made at the level of the distal one third of the calf. The musculotendinous junction of the gastrocnemius is gently transected using an Arachnoid blade. The skin is, then, closed with non-absorbable sutures.

An iterative Green's function method (IGFM) is introduced to analyze complex electromagnetic waveguide structures in view of the university student. The IGFM utilizes the Green's function and iteration scheme. The physical mechanism with simple mathematical equations is used to formulate the IGFM. Scattering characteristics of a standard E-plane T-junction in a parallel-plate waveguide are theoretically investigated in terms of the IGFM. Numerical computations illustrate the characteristics of resection and transmission powers versus frequency. A dominant-mode solution is presented and compared with the higher-mode solutions.

An iterative Green's function method (IGFM) is introduced in order to analyze complex electromagnetic waveguide stub structures in view of a university student. The IGFM utilizes a Green's function approach and an regional iteration scheme. A physical iteration mechanism with simple mathematical equations facilitates clear formulations of the IGFM. Scattering characteristics of a standard E-plane T-junction stub in a parallel-plate waveguide are theoretically investigated in terms of the IGFM. Numerical computations illustrate the characteristics of reflection and transmission powers versus frequency.

Angiogenesis is a complex process involving dynamic interaction of various cell to cell interactions. Endothelial cell interactions regulated by growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, or hemodynamic stress are critical for balancing vascular quiescence and activation. Yes-associated protein (YAP), an effector of Hippo signaling, is known to play significant roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, its role in endothelial cells for angiogenic regulation remains relatively unexplored. We demonstrated the critical role of YAP in vascular endothelial cells and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in angiogenic regulation of YAP. YAP was expressed in active angiogenic regions where endothelial cell junctions were relatively loosened. Consistently, YAP subcellular localization and activity were regulated by VE-cadherin-mediated PI3K/Akt pathway. YAP thereby regulated endothelial sprouting via angiopoietin-2 expression. These results provide an insight into a model of coordinating endothelial junctional stability and angiogenic activation through YAP. [BMB Reports 2015; 48(8): 429-430]

Rollover accidents are a common occurrence on the highway ramp section. At highway ramp section, unexpected situations might occur due to demand on complex steering control unlike routine driving maneuver in the main streamline. Commercial vehicles have higher risk of rollover due to their high center of gravity. In this study, the lateral acceleration causing rollover would be found. In addition, sections would be classified as dangerous and safe ones by confirming the maximum lateral acceleration for various speed and curvature.

The endocrine cells in the midgut epithelium of the Japanese cockroach, Periplaneta japonica were observed by the light and electron microscopy. The midgut epithelium of the last instar larva and adult cockroach consisted of principal columnar cells, regenerative cells, and secretory granular cells. Midgut endocrine cells were positioned basally as a cone-shaped single cell in the epithelium or underneath the regenerative crypt cells. When midgut epithelium grows and the cell composing it transforms, between the endocrine cells and regenerative cells were made desmosome type junction and large vesicular shaped stretches of loose contact. The endocrine cells were characterized by a clear cytoplasm with abundant Golgi complex and numerous secretory granules. The secretory granules in the cell were spherical and electron dense with their diameter of $200{\sim}400nm$. The secretory granules have been observed as discharged by exocytosis on the basal and lateral side of the cell.
