Direct torque control based on space vector modulation (SVM-DTC) protects the DTC transient merits. Furthermore, it creates better quality steady-state performance in a wide speed range. The modified method of DTC using SVM improves the electrical magnitudes of asynchronous machines, such as minimizing the stator current distortions, the stator flux with electromagnetic torque without ripple, the fast response of the rotor speed, and the constant switching frequency. In this paper, the proposed method is based on two new control strategies for direct torque control with space vector modulation. First, fuzzy logic control is used instead of the PI torque and a PI flux controller to minimizing the torque error and to achieve a constant switching frequency. The voltages in the direct and quadratic reference frame ($V_d$, $V_q$) are achieved by fuzzy logic control. In this scheme, the switching capability of the inverter is fully utilized, which improves the system performance. Second, the close loop of stator flux estimation based on the voltage model and a low pass filter is used to counteract the drawbacks in the open loop of the stator flux such as the problems saturation and dc drift. The response of this new control strategy is compared with DTC-SVM. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control topology outperforms the conventional DTC-SVM in terms of system robustness and eliminating the bad outcome of dc-offset.

최근, LED 구동 인버터, DC-DC 컨버터, AC-DC 컨버터 및 형광등 ballaster 등의 고전압전원장치등에 압전변압기를 적용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 순수한 $PbTiO_3$는 큐리온도($490^{\circ}C$)가 높고, 기계적강도가 크며, 비유전율(약 200 정도)이 작다. 또한, 두께방향 진동의 전기기계 결합계수 ($K_t$)가 윤곽진동의 전기기계 결합계수($K_p$)보다 크므로 두께방향의 진동모드를 이용한 벌크파 진동자의 경우 윤곽진동방향으로 불요신호(spurious signal)가 적고, 작은 grain size($1\;{\mu}m$정도)로 미세가공이 가능하여 고주파 재료로 이용되고 있다. 압전변압기의 출력 전력을 향상시키기 위해서는 적층으로 제작하여야 하는데 적층 압전변압기 제작시 층간의 내부 전극이 도포된 상태에서 소결하여야 한다. 이때 소걸 온도가 높으면 Pd 함랑이 높은 전극을 사용하여야 하는데 Pd 전극의 가격이 비싸 소자의 경제성이 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 순수한 Ag 전극을 내부전극으로 사용하기 위해서는 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 소결이 가능하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $(Pb,Ca,Sr)Ti(Mn,Sb)O_3$ 조성을 이용하여 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온소결이 가능한 두께방향진동모드 적층 압전변암기를 제작하여 그에 대한 전기적 특성을 조사하였다.

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of silver added 0.96 Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_3$-0.04 Pb(Mn,W,Sb,Nb)$_3$ ceramics were examined. By varying the contents of silver(0.0, 0.4, 1.0 mol%), the effect of silver addition on PZT-PMWSN ceramics was investigated at various sintering temperature(900, 1000, 1100 $^{\circ}C$). As increasing silver contents, the relative dielectric constant was increased and sinterability was enhanced. At the specimen with 0.4 mol% Ag and sintered at 1000 $^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$), mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$), dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) and dielectric loss were 0.502, 811, 991, 0.006, respectively. The results showed that the PZT-PMWSN/Ag composites have enhanced piezoelectic and dielectric properties and sintering temperature was lowered.red.

In this study washing efficiency and desorption isotherms for heavy petroleum oil (HPO), Zn, and Pb bound to complex contaminated soils were examined using various soil flushing agents. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), methanol, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid were selected as soil flushing agents. 3% (w/v) and 4% SDS showed the highest removal efficiency for HPO, but the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Thus, 3% SDS was chosen as the best soil flushing agent for HPO. In the case of heavy metals, 0.1-M EDTA showed the highest removal efficiencies. But 0.05-M citric acid was selected due to its economic and eco-friendly strengths. The desorption isotherms obtained using Freundlich and Langmuir models indicated that the maximum desorption characteristics ($K_F$ and $Q_{max}$) of HPO with 4% SDS and 90% methanol and heavy metals with 0.1-M EDTA and 0.1-M citric acid, respectively, were markedly lower than in other cases. In addition, when 4% SDS and 90% methanol were used for HPO in the range of $C_e$ higher than 600 mg/L, and when 0.1M citric acid and 0.1M EDTA were used for Zn and Pb in the range of $C_e$ higher than 300 and 100 mg/L, respectively, the distribution constant converged to certain levels. Thus, constant values of $K_U$ and $K_L$ were determined. It was found that these constants represent the maximum desorption capacity and they can be used as distribution coefficients of desorption equilibrium for the flushing agents. The results of this study provided fundamental information for the selection of the best agents as well as for the process design and operation of soil washing/soil flushing of complex contaminated soils.

Nb was doped to Pb-free $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ (BNT) by a solid state mixing process to form $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})Ti_{1-x}Nb_xO_3\;(x=0{\sim}0.05)$ (BNTNb) and its doping effects on ferroelectric and piezoelctric properties of BNT were investigated. The BNTNb solid solutions were formed up to x=0.01 with no apparent second phases while grain sizes decreased. As x increased, coercive field ($E_c$) and mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) decreased but piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) increased, which indicates Nb acts as a donor for BNT.

This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and to identify risk factors associated with Neospora spp. infection in horses in Jordan. Management related data were collected from each farm and individual horses. Sera from 227 horses from 5 of 6 climatic regions in Jordan were analyzed for the presence of antibodies to Neospora spp. by ELISA kit. The study was performed during spring of 2010. The association between seropositivity and risk factors was analyzed. A total of 7 (3%) of 227 sera had antibodies for Neospora spp. There was a significant regional difference (P=0.018) between the 5 climatic regions. Positive cases were located in Amman and Irbid, while the other regions (Zarqa, Jordan Valley, and Wadi Mousa) had zero prevalence. The use of anthelmintics at least once a year resulted in a significant reduction of the seroprevalence to Neospora spp. (1.6% vs 9.8%). However, this might be a phenomenon by chance and a better hygiene since owners can invest in anthelmintics. Other risk factors such as age, gender, breed, usage, body condition score, grazing, presence of other animals mixed with the horses in the same property, and a history of previous diseases were not significantly associated with the seroprevalence to Neospora spp. infection. This is the first study to report on the presence of Neospora seropositive horses in Jordan. Further studies are warranted to better understand the role of certain risk factors in the transmission of Neospora spp. among horse population and to determine which Neospora spp. are responsible for the infection.

Mowat-Wilson syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disease that is characterized by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, Hirschsprung's disease, and other congenital anomalies. This disorder is caused by heterozygous mutations or deletions in the zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox-2 gene (ZEB2). Thus far, approximately 200 cases of Mowat-Wilson syndrome have been reported worldwide. In Korea, only one case with a 2q22 deletion, which also affects ZEB2, has been previously reported. Here, we describe a patient with Mowat-Wilson syndrome who presented with developmental delays, typical facial dysmorphism, and Hirschsprung's disease. Molecular analysis of ZEB2 identified a novel heterozygous mutation at c.190dup ($p.S64Kfs^*6$). To our knowledge, this is the second report of a Korean patient with Mowat-Wilson syndrome that has been confirmed genetically.

Due to the convergence of voice, data, and video, today's telecom operators are facing the complexity of service and network management to offer differentiated value-added services that meet customer expectations. Without the operations support of well-developed Business Support System/Operations Support System (BSS/OSS), it is difficult to timely and effectively provide competitive services upon customer request. In this paper, a suite of NGOSS-based Telecom OSS (TOSS) is developed for the support of fulfillment and assurance operations of telecom services and IT services. Four OSS groups, TOSS-P (intelligent service provisioning), TOSS-N (integrated large-scale network management), TOSS-T (trouble handling and resolution), and TOSS-Q (end-to-end service quality management), are organized and integrated following the standard telecom operation processes (i.e., eTOM). We use IPTV and IP-VPN operation scenarios to show how these OSS groups co-work to support daily business operations with the benefits of cost reduction and revenue acceleration.

Objective of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics and kinetic models of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull in respective to mitigation of greenhouse gases. $NH_4-N$ concentration was analyzed by UV Spectrophotometer. For the experiment, the soil texture used in this study was sandy loam soil, and application rates of chemical fertilizer and pig compost were $420-200-370kgha^{-1}$ (N-P-K) and $5,500kgha^{-1}$ as recommended amount after soil test for corn cultivation. Biochar treatments were 0.2-5% to soil weight. Its adsorption characteristic was investigated with application of Langmuir isotherm, and pseudo-first order kinetic model and pseudo-second order kinetic model were used as kinetic models. Adsorption amount and removal rates of $NH_4-N$ were $39.3mg^{-1}$ and 28.0% in 0.2% biochar treatment, respectively. The sorption of $NH_4-N$ to biochar was fitted well by Langmiur model because it was observed that dimensionless constant ($R_L$) was 0.48. The maximum adsorption amount ($q_m$) and binding strength constant (b) were calculated as $4.1mgg^{-1}$ and $0.01Lmg^{-1}$ in Langmuir isotherm, respectively. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was more appropriate than pseudo-first order kinetic model for high correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of pseudo-second order kinetic model. Therefore, biochar produced from rice hull could reduce $N_2O$ by adsorbing $NH_4-N$ to biochar cooperated in sandy loam soil.
