  • Objective: This experiment was conducted to find out the immunological effects of wheat phytase when long-chain inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) treated with wheat phytase was added to a macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7, when compared to intact long-chain polyP. Methods: Nitric oxide (NO) production of Raw 264.7 cells exposed to P700, a long-chain polyP with an average of 1,150 phosphate residues, treated with or without wheat phytase, was measured by Griess method. Phagocytosis assay of P700 treated with or without phytase in Raw 264.7 cells was investigated using neutral red uptake. The secretion of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) by Raw 264.7 cells with wheat phytase-treated P700 compared to intact P700 was observed by using Mouse TNF-α enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Results: P700 treated with wheat phytase effectively increased NO production of Raw 264.7 cells by 172% when compared with intact P700 at 12 h exposure. At 5 mM of P700 concentration, wheat phytase promoted NO production of macrophages most strongly. P700, treated with wheat phytase, stimulated phagocytosis in macrophages at 12 h exposure by about 1.7-fold compared to intact P700. In addition, P700 treated with wheat phytase effectively increased in vitro phagocytic activity of Raw 264.7 cells at a concentration above 5 mM when compared to intact P700. P700 dephosphorylated by wheat phytase increased the release of TNF-α from Raw 264.7 cells by 143% over that from intact P700 after 6 h exposure. At the concentration of 50 μM P700, wheat phytase increased the secretion of cytokine, TNF-α, by 124% over that from intact P700. Conclusion: In animal husbandry, wheat phytase can mitigate the long-chain polyP causing damage by improving the immune capabilities of macrophages in the host. Thus, wheat phytase has potential as an immunological modulator and future feed additive for regulating immune responses caused by inflammation induced by long-chain polyP from bacterial infection.

  • Most factories deal with toxic or flammable chemicals in their industrial processes. These hazardous substances pose a risk of leakage due to accidents, such as fire and explosion. In the event of chemical release, massive casualties and property damage can result; hence, quantitative risk prediction and assessment are necessary. Several methods are available for evaluating chemical dispersion in the atmosphere, and most analyses are considered neutral in dispersion models and under far-field wind condition. The foregoing assumption renders a model valid only after a considerable time has elapsed from the moment chemicals are released or dispersed from a source. Hence, an initial dispersion model is required to assess risk quantitatively and predict the extent of damage because the most dangerous locations are those near a leak source. In this study, the dispersion model for initial consequence analysis was developed with three-dimensional unsteady advective diffusion equation. In this expression, instantaneous leakage is assumed as a puff, and wind velocity is considered as a coordinate transform in the solution. To minimize the buoyant force, ethane is used as leaked fuel, and two different diffusion coefficients are introduced. The calculated concentration field with a molecular diffusion coefficient shows a moving circular iso-line in the horizontal plane. The maximum concentration decreases as time progresses and distance increases. In the case of using a coefficient for turbulent diffusion, the dispersion along the wind velocity direction is enhanced, and an elliptic iso-contour line is found. The result yielded by a widely used commercial program, ALOHA, was compared with the end point of the lower explosion limit. In the future, we plan to build a more accurate and general initial risk assessment model by considering the turbulence diffusion and buoyancy effect on dispersion.

  • 우리 나라의 전력 계통에 있어 22.9kV-y 배전 방식은 변전소로부터 배전 선로를 통해 대도시 중심부 등 사람의 왕래가 빈번한 곳이나 신도시 지역 등에 지중 케이블로 전력을 공급하고 있으며 선로 운영상 배전 선로의 중성선을 일정 구간 마다 3선 일괄 접지하는 다중 접지방식을 채택하고 있다. 이러한 다중 접지방식은 동심 중성선을 대지에 직접 접지하기 때문에 지락 사고시 건전상의 전압 상승이 적어 전력 설비의 절연 및 지락 전류의 검출이 용이하고 보호 계전기 등이 신속하게 동작한다. 계통 사고 등으로 인하여 동심 중성선의 전위가 상승되는 것을 방지하고자 케이블 접속 구간마다 동심 중성선을 일괄 접지하는 방식으로 배전 계통을 운영하고 있다. 이는 지락 사고시에는 동심 중성선의 대지 전위 상승을 일정값 이하로 제한하여 안전하게 유지하기 위해서이다. 그러나 지중 배전 선로에서 각 상(A, B, C상)의 부하가 불평형이 되는 것은 물론 평형일 경우에도 동심 중성선에는 부하 전류에 41.5%(전력구)-51.6%(관로)의 동심 중성선 순환 전류가발생되고 있기 때문에 순환전류로 인한 손실이 도체 손실의 76%에 달하며, 이러한 손실 전력으로 케이블의 내부 온도가 상승되어 케이블의 전류 용량이 관로의 경우 20% 정도 감소하게 된다. 본 연구는 이같은 문제점을 해결하는데 목적이 있다.

  • As the traditional style is treated as one of the important themes in fashion recently, how to apply the formative character in Korean and Japanese traditional dress to modern fashion is searched through actual analysis of photograph material, Both design formative elements were confirmed by clothing and fashion department majors through visual data so that 20 pieces of them were selected as final analysis object. Korean traditional dress form in modern fashion emphasizes curvaceousness as plane division. On the other hand, that of Japanese shows straight line, layered, belt, big look through up & down connection style. Color in Korean traditional dress prefers white and original color and modern fashion displays the natural beauty through harmony of similar colors ; that of Japanese based on natural color such as persimmon color cherishes natural beauty and implicit moderation showing harmony of various original color with brilliance and neutral color. While texture in Korean traditional dress was fine and exquisite, that of Japanese preferred coarse and tactile ones. In motif, Korea was natural and geometric but Japanese variously used complex and geometric ones. Likewise, the result suggests that the formative character in Korean and Japanese modern fashion affects the modern dress format as new aesthetic sense and takes on more complicated and subtle aspect in basic form, not just use so far.

  • The grounding system of low voltage power systems is TT grounding system in Korea. In order to follow the international standard, TN grounding system is adopted. However, the performance of grounding systems has not been evaluated. This paper deals with the experimental results of protection ability of grounding system when lightning surge invades to the neutral line of low voltage power system. As a result, the TT grounding system is most frail for the lightning surge and it does not protect the electrical devices. On the other hand, the TN grounding system perfectly protects the electrical equipment and prevents the electric shock for human through the equipotential bonding. In case of TN system with supplement grounding, it is very important to lower the supplement grounding resistance to protect the electrical equipment and electric shock for human.

  • ECR(Electron Cyclotron Resonance) occure at ${\omega}_c$=${\omega}$, ${\omega}_c$:electron cycltron frequency, ${\omega}$:electromagnetic wave frequency. ECR system have several merit, 1) power transefer efficiency 2) low neutral gas pressure (below 1 mTorr) 3) high plasma density($10^{12}$ $cm^{-3}$). It is applicated variously in the field of semiconductor and new materials as the manufacturing equipment. Magnetic field in ECR system contruct resonance layer (${\omega}$=2.45GHz, $B_z$=875 Gauss) and control plasma. Plasma is almost generated at resonance layer. If the distance between substrate and resonance layer is short, uniformity of plasma is related with profile of resonance layer. Plasma have the property "Cold in Field", so directonality of magnetic field is one of the control factors of anisotropic etching. In this study, we calculate B field and flux line distribution, optimize geometry and submagnet current and improve of magnetic field directionality (99.9%) near substrate. For the purpose of calculation, vector potential A(r,z) and magnetic field B(r,z), green function and numerical integration is used. Object function for submagnet optimization is magnetic field directionality on the substrate and Powell method is used as optimization skim.

  • 본 논문에서는 배전계통 주변압기 중성선에 초전도 한류기를 적용할 경우 고장전류 제한 및 회복특성에 대해 분석하였다. 배전계통에 초전도한류기 적용위치에 따라 초전도한류기의 부담이 다르게 되며, 이에 따라 고장전류 제한효과를 포함한 건전선로에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 배전계통내에 초전도한류기의 다양한 적용위치중에서 주변압기 중성선에 초전도한류기를 적용할 경우 보다 빈번하게 발생하는 비대칭사고에 대해 효과적으로 고장전류를 제한할 수 있음을 모의실험을 통해 분석하였다. 이와 더불어 고장제거시 초전도한류기의 회복특성에서도 선로 각 상에 초전도한류기를 적용할 경우보다 중성선에 적용할 경우에 회복시간이 크게 감소되는 것을 모의실험을 통해 비교할 수 있었다.

  • Recently evolved power electronics' based domestic/residential appliances have begun to behave as single phase non-linear loads. Performing as voltage/current harmonic sources, those loads when connected to a three phase distribution network contaminate the line current with harmonics in addition to creating a neutral wire current increase. In this paper, an enhanced performance three phase four leg shunt active power filter (SAPF) controller is presented as a solution for this problem. The presented control strategy incorporates a hybrid predictive fuzzy-logic based technique. The predictive part is responsible for the SAPF compensating current generation while the DC-link voltage control is performed by a fuzzy logic technique. Simulations at various loading conditions are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. In addition, an experimental test rig is implemented for practical validation of the of the enhanced performance of the proposed technique.

  • In this paper, HSE (Health and Safety Environments) research with smart device and biometrics is conducted for the worker's HSE enhancement in the manufacturing shop floor. Today, various kinds of smart devices are popularized extensively. In addition, the wearable type devices are being introduced such as google glass very recently. Smart device of werable type is exptected to bring great opportunity out in terms of HSE functionality. Smart devices of phone or tablet type are being used for on-line work between control center and manufacturing shop floor by virtue of wireless communication. However, those devices are not appropriate for detecting of worker's physical senses such as temperature and pulse. In this paper, we developed a glass type smart device and required funictions for HSE enhancement with the investigation of biometrics technology. Also, required sensors are investigated for the detecting of temperature, pulse and noxious gasses. Smart device of glass type has advantages in that most senses of personnel are gathered around faces, and also it's possible to detect neutral axis of body because the wearing location is fixed. We expect that the proposing HSE product of glass type smart device could contribute the enhancement of the HSE of manufacturing shop floor.
