Five model coils of 6.6 kV motor were manufactured with several defects. These stator coils have artificial defects such as void of groundwall insulation, removal of semi-conductive coating and damage of strand insulation. Epoxy-mica coupler(80 pF) was connected to five model coil terminals. The voltage applied to the coils was 3.81 kV, 4.76 kV, 6.0 kV and 6.6 kV, respectively. Partial discharge(PD) tests performed in the laboratory and shield room. Digital PD detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure PD activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in pC were measured with PDD. PD patterns of model coils were indicated the internal and slot discharges. PD patterns are consistent with the result of measurement using PDD and TGA instruments. AC breakdown test was performed on five model coils in order to confirm the result of PD measurements. All the failures were located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot.

인체의 바이러스 감염 방어기전에서 T 림프구는 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만, 만성 C형 간염 바이러스의 일차적 복제장소인 간염 환자의 간에서 분리된 HCV 특이 T 림프구는 심각한 기능결핍을 보인다. 이러한 T 림프구 기능결핍의 이유로는 PD-1, CTLA-4 등 면역억제 물질의 발현, 또는 간에서 특이적으로 유도되는 면역내성(immune tolerance)이 있으나, 간세포(hepatocytes)와 HCV 특이 T 림프구의 상호작용에 대해서는 명확하게 확립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 HLA(human leukocyte antigen) A2+ 간암세포주(human hepatoma cell line; huh7.5)가 항원제시(antigen presentation)를 통해 효과적으로 HCV 특이 T 림프구를 활성화시키며 간암세포주(huh7.5) 표면의 PD-L (program death ligand) 1 발현은 T림프구의 활성을 감소시켜 면역조절의 가능성이 있음을 시사하였다. 또한, HCV 특이 tetramer 반응은 T 림프구의 과도한 활성으로 자기사멸(apoptosis)의 경로에 있음을 caspase 3 활성으로 확인하였고, 역시 PD-L1의 발현이 T 림프구를 자기사멸(apoptosis)로부터 구제하여 caspase 3 활성이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 PD-L1과 간성(liver) T 림프구 표면의 PD-1 결합이 T 림프구의 자기사멸을 막고, 또한 그 기능을 회복시켜 만성 C형 간염 치료에 응용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

To study and locate partial discharge(PD) and analyze the transient state of power transformer, there is a need for a high frequency model of transformer winding and calculation of its parameters. Due to the high frequency nature of partial discharge phenomenon, there is a need for an accurate model for this frequency range. To attain this goal, a Multi-Conductor Transmission Line (MTL) model is used in this paper for modeling this transformer winding. In order that the MTL model can properly simulate the transformer behavior within a frequency range it is required that its parameters be accurately calculated. In this paper, all the basic parameters of this model are calculated by the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) for a 20kV winding of a distribution transformer. The comparison of the results obtained from this model with the obtained shape of the waves by the application of PD pulse to the winding in laboratory environment shows the validity and accuracy of this model.

Background: Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for the majority of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without driver mutations and many receive therapies beyond first-line. Second-line chemotherapy has been disappointing both in terms of response rate and survival and we know relatively little about the prognostic factors. Materials and Methods: One thousand and eight patients with advanced NSCLC who received second-line chemotherapy after progression were reviewed in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, China, from September 2005 to July 2010. We analyzed the effects of potential prognostic factors on the outcomes of second-line chemotherapy (overall response rate, ORR; progression free survival, PFS; overall survival, OS). Results: The response and progression free survival of first-line chemotherapy affects the ORR, PFS and OS of second-line chemotherapy (ORR: CR/PR 15.4%, SD 10.1%, PD2.3%, p<0.001; PFS: CR/PR 3.80 months, SD 2.77 months, PD 2.03 months, p<0.001; OS: CR/PR 11.60 months, SD 10.33 months, PD 6.57 months, p=0.578, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). On multivariate analysis, better response to first-line therapy (CR/PR: HR=0.751, p=0.002; SD: HR=0.781, p=0.021) and progression within 3-6 months (HR=0.626, p<0.001), together with adenocarcinoma (HR=0.815, p=0.017), without liver metastasis (HR=0.541, p=0.001), never-smoker (HR=0.772, p=0.001), and ECOG PS 0-1 (HR=0.745, p=0.021) were predictors for good OS following second-line chemotherapy. Conclusions: Patients who responded to first-line chemotherapy had a better outcome after second-line therapy for advanced NSCLC, and the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy, period of progression, histology, liver metastasis, smoking status and ECOG PS were independent prognostic factors for OS.

GIS(Gas insulated switching gear) is power equipment with excellent dielectric strength and is economy merit in high confidence and stability. Recently, because equipment of GIS was occurring problem of confidence used for a long time, partial discharge on-line diagnosis systems have been importantly recognized. Partial discharge (PD) detection is an effective means for monitoring and evaluation of dielectric condition of gas insulated system (GIS). The ultra-high-frequency (UHF) PD detection technique can detect and locate the PD sources inside GIS by detecting electromagnetic wave emitted from PD source. Therefore, real-time diagnostic system using UHF detection method has been developed for this application is being expanded gradually. However, the signal of partial discharge occurring in SF6 gas is very weak and susceptible to external noises which mainly consist of PD in air. Thus, it is important to distinguish the PD in SF6 gas more sensitively from the external noises. Unfortunately, these external noise signals and the partial discharge signals have very similar characteristics. Therefore, to solve this problem, we need the signal processing method for distinguish partial discharge signals with external noise signals for improvement of SNR(signal to noise ratio) and sensitivity. In this paper, we proposed internal signal processing method for removing external noise signals with built-in pre.amplifier and frequency conversion circuit.

In this paper, the decoupled neural network reference compensation technique (DRCT) is applied to the control of a two degrees-of-freedom inverted pendulum mounted on an x-y table. Neural networks are used as auxiliary controllers for both the x axis and y axis of the PD controlled inverted pendulum. The DRCT method known to compensate for uncertainties at the trajectory level is used to control both the angle of a pendulum and the position of a cart simultaneously. Implementation of an on-line neural network learning algorithm has been implemented on the DSP board of the dSpace DSP system. Experimental studies have shown successful balancing of a pendulum on an x-y plane and good position control under external disturbances as well.

In this paper, intelligent control method using neural network as a nonlinear controller is presented. Simulation studies for three link rotary robot are performed. Neural network controller is implemented on DSP board in PC to make real time computing possible. On-line training algorithms for neural network control are proposed. As a test-bed, a large x-y table was build and interface with PC has been implemented. Experiments such as inverted pendulum control and large x-y table position control are performed. The results for different PD controller gains with neural network show excellent position tracking for circular trajectory compared with those for PD controller only. Neural control scheme also works better for controlling inverted pendulum on x-y table.

Recently, the importance of supplying the reliable electric power is increasing. Breaking insulation of stator winding is major cause of fault in rotator machine. On-line PD detecting is useful technique to diagnose rotator machine. However, interpretation of its results in time domain is very complex because of the mixed results with PD(Partial Discharge) and noise signal. Therefore, the results were analyzed in frequency domain by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to detect precise PD signals. The purpose of this paper is to describe the optimal frequency range to discriminate the PD and noise signal.

A comprehensive study of photon interaction features has been made for some alloys containing Pd and Ag content to evaluate its possible use as alternative gamma radiations shielding material. The mass attenuation coefficient (${\mu}/{\rho}$) of the present alloys was measured at various photon energies between 81 keV-1333 keV utilizing HPGe detector. The measured ${\mu}/{\rho}$ values were compared to those of theoretical and computational (MCNPX code) results. The results exhibited that the ${\mu}/{\rho}$ values of the studied alloys are in the same line with results of WinXCOM software and MCNPX code results at all energies. Moreover, Pd75/Ag25 alloy sample has the maximum radiation protection efficiency (about 53% at 81 keV) and lowest half value layer, which shows that Pd75/Ag25 has superior gamma radiation shielding performance among the other compared alloys.
