The current-voltage characteristics of the semiconducting BaTiO3 ceramics are measured in the range of 0.01∼100 Volt. Non ohmic behavior was observed above Tc. This behavior is not dependent on specimen thickness and is not observed at the incomplete semiconducting sepcimen. From this experiment, non-ohmic behavior of PTC is attributed to Heywang's potential barrier not to space change limited current. In the low voltage range, current-voltage characteristics of PTC ceramics can be explained by Heywang model.

Background: In papillary and follicular thyroid cancers (PTC, FTC), nodal and distant metastasis are generally considered important determinants of recurrence and survival, respectively. However, there is no consensus about the threshold primary tumour size (PTS) for these determinants. The aim of this study was to assess size relationships for developing nodal, pulmonary, bone and overall distant metastases. Methods: This prospective study covered 139 (93 females and 46 males) consecutive biopsy proven patients with PTC (114/139, mean age $41.0{\pm}15.7$ years, M: F, 35%:65%) and FTC (25/139, mean age $39.2{\pm}14.3$ years, M: F: 24%:76%). Results: Average primary tumor size was $23.4{\pm}11.1$ mm and $26.5{\pm}13.1$ mm for PTC and FTC respectively (p value=0.223). Nodal metastasis was found more common in PTC than FTC (49% vs 28%, p value <0.05), whereas overall distant metastasis was approximately the same (13% and 24%, p value=0.277); however, bone metastasis was significantly higher in FTC than PTC (24% vs 5%, p value <0.05). Cumulative risk for nodal and distant metastases for FTC and PTC starts at PTS <20 mm and may indicate an unusual aggressive tumor behavior in the studied population. Highest cumulative risk for nodal and pulmonary metastases in PTC and for bone metastasis in FTC was found to be ${\geq}50$ mm PTS. Conclusion: We conclude that a PTS of <20 mm may indicate an unusual aggressive tumor behavior with highest cumulative risk for nodal and pulmonary metastases in PTC and for bone metastasis in FTC with a cutoff of ${\geq}50$ mm.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a background of benign disease. Method: A total of 709 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma undergoing surgical resection were analyzed retrospectively. In 147 patients who underwent surgery for benign thyroid disease, incidental PTC (IPC group) were identified by intraoperative or postoperative pathological examination of surgical specimens but were not detected by preoperative imaging studies. In the other group, according to the pathological examination with or without co-existing benign thyroid disease, 253 cases were clarified as concomitant PTC and 309 cases were clarified as dominant PTC. Results: Incidental PTC was more common in women, about 85.7%, the mean age was $47.6{\pm}11.3$ years old. Average tumor diameter was $4.4{\pm}2.2$ mm, multiple lesions accounted for 12.9% (19/147), and the cervical lymph node metastasis rate was 6.1% (9/147). After radical resection 8 cases recurred, the median time of recurrence was about 12 months (0.5 to 162), there was no tumor-related death. The tumor-free survival rates were 97.3%, 95.9%, 91.5%, and 79.3% in 1, 5, 10 and 14 year respectively. Conclusion: Incidental PTC with a background of benign lesions is common, and the generally good prognosis can be attributed to tumor early detection and early treatment. On the intraoperative finding of incidental PTC, lobectomy (unilateral) or total thyroidectomy (bilateral) should be the first choice, but with a postoperative pathologic finding of incidental PTC, further treatment, such as completion thyroidectomy or immediate lymph dissection is not necessary. Central lymph node dissection is also not needed unless lymphadenectasis is present.

본 연구에서는 나노입자인 카본블랙을 고분자에 분산시킨 복합체를 각각 용액혼합과 용융혼합을 이용하여 positive temperature coefficient (PTC) 특성을 연구하였다. 전도성 나노입자인 카본블랙과 고분자 복합체의 저항 통전 (threshold)은 용융혼합하였을 때 카본블랙의 함량이 35wt% 이상에서 나타났으며. 용액혼합에서는 카본블랙 함량이 40 wt% 이상에서 나타났다. Ethyl-one vinylacetate copolymer (EVA)의 경우, 온도의 변화에 따라서 저항이 서서히 증가하다가 용융점 근처에서 극대값을 나타내었지만, high density polyethylene (HDPE)의 경우는 저항이 온도의 변화에 따라 일정하다가 용융점 근처에서 증가하기 시작하여 용융점에서 극대값을 나타내었다. 통전 후의 낮은 저항과, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)으로 관찰한 결과로부터 전도성 나노입자의 카본블랙 분산방법에서 용액혼합의 분산 정도가 용융혼합 못지않게 나타났다. PTC 소재에 전류인가시 큐리온도에서 1차적으로 저항이 증가하였으며, 고분자의 용융점에서 2차적으로 트립온도가 될 때까지 저항이 증가하다가 트립온도 이후에는 저항이 일정하게 유지됨을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the market of Electric Vehicle(EV) is increasing more and more than before. Thus a new heater for the EV is required. The PTC devices may be used the heater for the EV. In this paper, a simple DC-DC Converter is proposed as the PTC Heater for the EV. The proposed circuit was optimally desired to decrease the stress of the power devices and reduce the current ripples. To apply the result of the test in the laboratory to the actual EV system with the high DC voltage, ripple current, average current and output peak current are predicted by using the least-squares method. Finally, the proposed circuit is validated by various experiments.

$({Ba}_{1-x}La_x)TiO_3,\;x=0{\sim}0.005$ specimens were fabricated by solid stste reaction method, and their PTC characteristics were examined. The gain growth is inhibited by La substitution, and it is confirmed that the specimens are crystallized at $900^{\circ}C$ from DTA analysis. The 0.003mol La substituded specimens show lowest resistivity and best PTC effects. Furthermore, the electrode sintered-specimens exhibite better PTC effects than no sintered-specimens.

In this study, the effects of carbon black (CB) content and anodic oxidation treatment with $AgNO_3$ on positive temperature coefficient (PTC) behavior of CB/HDPE nanocomposites were investigated. Also, the addition of elastomer as a toughing agent was studied. The 20~50 wt% of CB, 0~5 wtt% of elastomer, and 1 wt% of $AgNO_3$-filled HDPE nanocomposites were prepared using the internal mixer in 60 rpm at $160{\circ}C$ and the compression-molded at $180{\circ}C$ for 10 min. As a result, the room temperature resistivity and PTC intensity of the composites were dependent, to a large extent, on the content of CB, addition of elastomer, and surface chemical properties that were controlled in the relative arrangements of the carbon black aggregates in a polymeric matrix. Moreover, the composites with relatively low room temperature resistivity and suitable PTC intensity could be achieved by treatment of $AgNO_3$. Consequently, it was noted that PTC effect was due to the deagglomeration or the breakage of the conductive networks caused by thermal expansion or crystalline melting of the polymeric matrix.
