In this paper, partial discharge (PD) measurement was performed to evaluate the quality of the cable joint and termination constructions. The resistive coupling technique for PD detection using resistivity of semiconducting layer of the cable in the accessories, such as joints and terminations. With high frequency PD (HEPD) measurement, an excellent sensitivity below 20pC could be achieved under unshielded condition. The localization of the defects in the accessories could be identified. During heating cycle, PDs were monitored and analyzed. At that time, the PDs were dependent on the temperature of the heating cycle and showed cyclic behaviors, which were attributed to local delamination of the interfaces, between epoxy unit and stress relief cone(SRC) and between SRC and cable, due to the difference of thermal expansion. As a conclusion, HFPD measurement technique was proven to be an effective diagnostic method for qualification of extra high voltage (EHV) cable accessories. With this technique, the optimal design of the components of the accessories could be verified not only in an early stage but also under operating condition. This technique would result in the improvement of the reliability of the EHV cable accessories.

Rupture of the bronchus following endotracheal intubation with a double-lumen tube is extremely rare in all complications of endotracheal intubation. We experienced a case of left main bronchial rupture following endotracheal intubation. This 58-year old female patient was diagnosed of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of right lower lobe, stage IIB, preoperatively. She was intubated with Robertshaw double-lumen tube(35 Fr.) for Rt. lower lobectomy. Intraoperatively, Lt. main bronchial rupture was suspected because of pneumomediastinum and ventilation insufficiency and immediately repaired with monofilament absorbable sutures(PDS) through left thoracotomy. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Knowledge of partial discharge (PD) is important to accurately diagnose and predict the condition of insulation. The PD phenomenon is highly complex and seems to be random in its occurrence. This paper indicates the possible use of chaos theory for the recognition and distinction concerning PD signals. Chaos refers to a state where the predictive abilities of a systems future are lost and the system is rendered aperiodic. The analysis of PD using deterministic chaos comprises of the study of the basic system dynamics of the PD phenomenon. This involves the construction of the PD attractor in state space. The simulation results show that the variance of an orthogonal axis in an attractor of chaos theory increases according to the magnitude and the number of PDs. However, it is difficult to clearly identify the characteristics of the PDs. Thus, we calculated the magnitude on an orthogonal axis in an attractor using singular value decomposition (SVD) and principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the numerical characteristics. In this paper, we proposed the condition monitoring method for gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using SVD for efficient calculation of the variance. Thousands of simulations have proven the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper dealt with the measurement and analysis of electromagnetic waves radiated from a partial discharge (PD) source in insulation oil to apply condition monitoring of oil-immersed transformers. Two types of narrow-band monopole antennas with the resonant frequency of a 500 MHz and a 1 GHz were designed and fabricated. Also, a needle-plane electrode system was manufactured to simulate PDs and the curvature radius of the needle is 10 ${\mu}m$ and the diameter of the plane is 60 mm. Electromagnetic wave was measured by the PD measurement system with the monopole antennas. Detection sensitivity of the fabricated antenna was compared for the same PD magnitude; 620 $mV_{peak}$ for the 500 MHz antenna and 960 $mV_{peak}$ for the 1 GHz antenna to the PD magnitude of 74 pC. Consequently, the 1 GHz monopole antenna is more effective to detect PDs in oil-immersed transformers.

Background: This case study is to describe the manual therapy for the patient with posttraumatic stress (PTSD), sleep disturbance, and pain such as chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: The patient who participated in this study was a 60 year-old male PTSD patient with CLBP. His CLBP is not from any genetic or family history but a sequelae of torture that he had gone through about 30 years ago. Prior to the intervention, it was assessed that the PDS-K score was 16, PQSI-K was 12, SLR-90-R was low, VAS score was 10, and KODI socre was 25. The intervention was conducted through manual therapy (myofascial release, muscle energy technique, lumbar stabilization) twice a week for eight weeks in total. Results: After eight week-intervention, the PDS-K, SLR-90-R, VAS, and KODI score were improved whereas PQSI-K was not sufficiently fast improved. Conclusions: The manual therapy is substantially effective in dealing with PTSD and CLBP.

This study was performed to investigate the immunopotentiative effects of conjugated linoleic acid on mice immunosuppressed by administratin corticoids. Mice were divided into four groups of 8 mice. Two groups (C, CP) were given diet supplemented with 1% linoleic acid (CLA) and the other two groups (L, LP) were given diet supplemented with 1% linoleic acid (LA) instead of CLA. Prednison was administered to two groups (CP, LP) for immune depression. After feeding diets for 3 weeks containing PDS injection for last 1 week. Serum and gut lumen lavage were taken. Measurement of total Ig were executed using sandwich ELISA. Serum levels of IgA, IgG, and IgM showed some trend which groups fed with CLA were higher than groups fed with LA while IgE was reduced in those fed the CLA intake, and groups administered with PDS were lower than groups administered with saline. However, no significant differences were seen in the proportion of total immunoglobulin in serum. In case of secretory IgA, Group C and CP were significantly higher than group L and LP. Especially between CP and LP, it can be seen effects of CLA. In addition that the CLA treated group weighted a significantly lower level than the one's that have not been treated with CLA. These result support the view that CLA potentiate the immune response and prevent immune depression caused by administrating of corticoids. In conclusion, CLA produced a situation favorable for immunopotentiative effects. Thus, the clinical application of CLA is warranted.

Organic photo Diodes (OPDi) give multiple advantages in the growing interest of the flexible optoelectronic devices. Organic semiconductors are freeform as they can deposit on any substrate, so it could be flexible. But the inorganic material photodiodes (PDs) are usually fabricated on silicon wafers which are solid. So, normally PDs are inflexible. By those reasons, we decided to make the vacuum deposited small molecule OPDi. We have investigated the OPDi's J-V characteristic by changing the thickness of p-type layer of OPDi. This device consists of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) / 2,3:6,7-dibenzanthracene (pentacene) / buckminsterfullerene (C60) / aluminum (Al). Its J-V characteristics were measured in the probe station(4156C) that can give dark condition while measuring. And for the luminance characteristics, the photocurrent was measured with the bright halogen lamp and a probe station.

The CRM(Customer Relationship Management) is the business strategy model for higher profits and competitive power of the enterprise in a new business environment. The large-scale customer response service technique uses internet, e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), Telephony service, DM(Direct Mail) by customer channel point. Recently, business model diversify for new contract and retaining existing customer to the effort for a profitable model of business. This paper is based on Avaya PDS(Predictive Dialing System) model for CRM bond center. If the number of "available" agents are less than the number of inbound channels, then there may be real-time response problems in PDS system implemented. The Organization cannot afford to have many agents in available mode because of the high cost of manpower. This paper provides two contributions to the study. First, we present Call Object Management Mechanism of Customer Channel integration for reduce outbound consulting and reduce CallBack data in the PDS. Second, we design and implement the proposed system. Our simulation results show analysis of old model and proposed model. The proposed model can be efficiently used in Large-scale CRM.

A 15-year-old, spayed female Maltese dog weighing 2.80 kg was referred with seizure of unknown origin. At presentation, serum biochemistry showed marked hypoglycemia (46 mg/dL; reference interval [RI], 65-118 mg/dL). There were, however, no abnormalities on electrolytes, complete blood counts, urinalysis, survey radiographs, and abdominal ultrasonography. In the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test, pre-ACTH and post-ACTH cortisol concentrations were within normal reference ranges. Serum insulin level was normal and fructosamine level was slightly lower than reference ranges. The clinical signs, including seizure and collapse caused by hypoglycemia, were gradually resolved with oral administration of prednisolone (PDS) twice daily. Forty five weeks later, serum biochemistry revealed hypoglycemia with markedly increased insulin level. On abdominal ultrasonography, increased heterogenous echogenecity with hypoechoic lesion was found within pancreatic parenchyma. Based on these findings, the dog was presumptively diagnosed to insulinoma. Hypoglycemic seizure was resolved with higher dose of PDS (1 mg/kg, q12h). At 688 days after first presentation, the patient was still alive without recurrence of hypoglycemic seizure. This case describes long-term management with PDS monotherapy in a Maltese dog with insulinoma.
