A novel porcine circovirus 4 (PCV4) was recently emerged in Chinese and Korean pig herds, which provided epidemiological situation where three pathogenic PCVs, PCV2, PCV3, and newly emerged PCV4, could co-infect pig herds in these countries. In this study, a new triplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (tqPCR) method was developed for the rapid and differential detection of these viruses. The assay specifically amplified each viral capsid gene, whereas no other porcine pathogenic genes were detected. The detection limit of the assay was below 10 copies/µL and the assay showed high repeatability and reproducibility. In the clinical evaluation using 1476 clinical samples from 198 Korean pig farms, the detection rates of PCV2, PCV3 and PCV4 by the tqPCR assay were 13.8%, 25.4%, and 3.8%, respectively, which were 100% agreement with those of previously reported monoplex qPCR assays for PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4, with a κ value (95% CI) of 1 (1.00~1.00). The prevalence of PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4 at the farm levels were 46.5%, 63.6%, and 19.7%, respectively. The co-infection analysis for tested pig farms showed that single infection rates for PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4 were 28.8%, 44.4%, and 9.6%, respectively, the dual infection rates of PCV2 and PCV3, PCV2 and PCV4, and PCV3 and PCV4 were 12.6%, 3.5%, and 5.1%, respectively, and the triple infection rate for PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4 was 1.5%. These results demonstrate that three pathogenic PCVs are widely spread, and their co-infections are common in Korean pig herds, and the newly developed tqPCR assay will be useful for etiological and epidemiological studies of these pathogenic PCVs.

This study deals with an on-line software fault detection, localization, and system reconfiguration method for electrical system drives composed of three-phase AC/DC/AC converters and three-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drives. Current sensor failure (outage), speed/position sensor loss (disconnection), and damaged DC-link voltage sensor are considered faults. The occurrence of these faults in PMSM drive systems degrades system performance and affects the safety, maintenance, and service continuity of the electrical system drives. The proposed method is based on the monitoring signals of "abc" currents, DC-link voltage, and rotor speed/position using a measurement chain. The listed signals are analyzed and evaluated with the generated residuals and threshold values obtained from a Sliding Mode Current-Speed-DC-link Voltage Observer (SMCSVO) to acquire an on-line fault decision. The novelty of the method is the faults diagnosis algorithm that combines the use of SMCSVO and adaptive thresholds; thus, the number of false alarms is reduced, and the reliability and robustness of the fault detection system are guaranteed. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm's performance is experimentally analyzed and tested in real time using a dSPACE DS 1104 digital signal processor board.

The operational data of diesel generator engine is two kinds of data. One is interactive the other is non interactive. We can find the fault information from interactive data measured for every sampling time when the changing rate, direction and status of data are investigated in comparition with those of normal status to diagnose the fault of combustion system. The various data values of combustion system for diesel engine are not proportional to load condition. The criterion to decide the level of data value is not absolute but relative to relational data. This study proposes to compose malfunction diagnosis engine using neural networks to decide that level of data value is out of normal status with the data collected from generator engine of the ship using the commercial data mining tool. This paper investigates the real ship's operational data of diesel generator engine and confirms usefulness of fault detecting through simulations for fault detecting.

This paper presents a diagnosis method for the detection and location of open-short switch faults in the three-phase power conditioning system. A method for switch fault diagnosis on the power conditioning system is proposed, based on the concordia transform. The switch fault types and locations on power conditioning system are diagnosed by a method in which analyze the d-q current vector locus and current pattern. The Simulation results confirm the proposed diagnostic method.

This paper deals with designing a real-time fault and accommodation system. The LQG controller is adopted in the normal state and the output of LQG controller is corrected using Separated Bias Estimator in the faulty state. The proposed scheme has been applied to the two-tank control system and showed satisfactory performance.

Shiga 독소 생성 대장균(Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli; STEC)을 가장 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 초고속 이단계 PCR 방법을 개발하였다. 검색 대상 유전자는 STEC에서 생성되는 Shiga 독소(Shiga toxin; Stx)를 암호화하고 있는 유전자 stx1이며, 1쌍의 stx 유전자 특이 primer를 사용하여 검출을 수행하였다. 초고속 PCR (Ultra-rapid PCR)은 microchip 기반의 6 ${\mu}l$ PCR 용량의 Real-time PCR을 사용하고, PCR 회전의 각 단계 중 혼성과 중합을 한 단계로 하였을 뿐 아니라, 각 단계의 적용시간을 각 1초, 3초(해리, 혼성/중합)가 되게 극단적으로 줄여, 검사소요시간을 최소화하였다. 35회전의 PCR 진단에 사용된 시간은 6분38초였으며, 용융온도분석에서 stx1 특이 유전자가 검출되었음을 확인하는 데까지 총 7분 28초가 소요되었다. 또한 민감도 측정에서 $3{\times}10^0$ CFU/reaction까지 성공적으로 검출 가능함이 확인되었고, 용융온도분석에서 이 증폭산물은 일정한 $81.42{\pm}0.34^{\circ}C$의 용융온도를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 검사법을 다양한 STEC 균주들에게 적용하여 그 성능을 검증하였으며, 이로써 본 초고속 이단계 PCR 방법은 Shiga 독소 생성 대장균의 초신속 검출에 바로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Huanglongbing (HLB, Citrus greening disease) is one of the most devastating diseases that threaten citrus production worldwide. Although HLB presents systemically, low titer and uneven distribution of these bacteria within infected plants can make reliable detection difficult. It was known loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method has the advantages of being highly specific, rapid, efficient, and laborsaving for detection of plant pathogens. We developed a new LAMP method targeting gene contained tandem repeat for more rapid and sensitive detection of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), putative causal agent of the citrus huanglongbing. This new LAMP method was 10 folds more sensitive than conventional PCR in detecting the HLB pathogen and similar to that of real-time PCR in visual detection assay by adding SYBR Green I to mixture and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Positive reactions were achieved in reaction temperature 57, 60 and $62^{\circ}C$ but not $65^{\circ}C$. Although this LAMP method was not more sensitive than real-time PCR, it does not require a thermocycler for amplification or agarose gel electrophoresis for resolution. Thus, we expect that this LAMP method shows strong promise as a reliable, rapid, and cost-effective method of detecting the CLas in citrus and can be applied for rapid diagnosis is needed.

For the detection of trace copper to be used in medical diagnosis, a sensitive handmade carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE) was developed using voltammetry. Analytical optimized conditions were found at 0.05 V anodic peak current. In the same conditions, various common electrodes were compared using stripping voltammetry, and the PE was found to be more sharply sensitive than other common electrodes. At optimum conditions, the working ranges of $3{\sim}19{\mu}gL^{-1}$ were obtained. The relative standard deviation of $70.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$ was determined to be 0.117% (n = 15), and the detection limit (S/N) was found to be $0.6{\mu}gL^{-1}$ ($9.4{\times}10^{-9}M$). The results were applied in detecting copper traces in the kidney and the brain cells of fish.

서양뒤영벌(Bombus terrestris)은 꿀벌의 봉군붕괴증후군(colony collapse disorder)에 대한 대체 화분매개곤충으로서 농업분야에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 최근 서양뒤영벌에서 바이러스, 세균, 응애 등의 여러 병원체와 기생체가 발견되었고, 이들은 서양뒤영벌의 수명과 생식력 등에 영향을 주는 것이 알려져 있다. 서양뒤영벌 야외개체군에서 Nosema spp.를 탐지하기 위해, 서양뒤영벌 성충으로부터 genomic DNA를 추출하여 Nosema spp. 유전자들에 대해 polymerase chain reaction (PCR)을 수행하였다. 이들 유전자 중에서 small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) 유전자만이 증폭되었고, 염기서열분석을 통해 N. ceranae로 확인된 것은 조사된 야외개체군에서 N. ceranae가 서양뒤영벌의 주된 감염체임을 보여준다. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR)을 이용하여 SSU rRNA 유전자를 탐지하기 위해, 먼저 PCR을 통해 SSU rRNA 유전자의 2개 영역에 대한 유전자 특이적 증폭을 확인하였다. qRT-PCR을 이용하여 각 개체에서 얻은 genomic DNA의 순차적인 농도희석를 통해 $0.85ng/{\mu}l$ 이하의 genomic DNA 농도에서도 SSU rRNA 유전자가 성공적으로 증폭되는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 실험 결과, qRT-PCR를 이용한 N. ceranae 특이 유전자 증폭은 서양뒤영벌의 병원체 감염 진단 뿐만 아니라 생태계 위해성 평가에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
