Inspissated bile syndrome (IBS) is a rare condition in which thick intraluminal bile, including bile plugs, sludge, or stones, blocks the extrahepatic bile ducts in an infant. A 5-week-old female infant was admitted for evaluation of jaundice and acholic stool. Diagnostic tests, including ultrasound sonography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and a hepatobiliary scan, were not conclusive. Although the diagnosis was unclear, the clinical and laboratory findings improved gradually on administration of urodeoxycholic acid and lipid emulsion containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) for 3 weeks. However, a liver biopsy was suggestive of biliary atresia. This finding forced us to perform intraoperative cholangiography, which revealed a patent common bile duct with impacted thick bile. We performed normal saline irrigation and the symptom was improved, the final diagnosis was IBS. Thus, we herein report that IBS can be treated with omega-3 PUFAs as an alternative to surgical intervention.

Palo Verde Unit 1 nuclear power station which is located in Arizona, USA had been operating at reduced power levels around 25% since December 25, 2005 due to vibration in one of its shutdown cooling lines. During an outage from March 18, 2006 to July 7, 2006 the necessary work and modifications to remedy the situation were performed. It cost approximately $46million to buy electricity to replace that lost as a result of this event. Therefore in this study, the vibration of shutdown cooling lines in the same nuclear power plant in Korea as Palo Verde Unit 1 should be measured by the operating condition of power plant. And it was evaluated using the expression for allowable velocity in ASME OM-S/G-2003. From the result of this study it is evaluated whether it is safe or not. If not the countermeasure should be considered in this study.

Most mechanical systems are now operating consistently and getting faster due to the development of automation systems. Peoples' dependence on machines have increased as when problems occur within the mechanical system, personal injury and production loss may come as a result, as most of the mechanical system's malfunctions are caused by the failure of the rotational bearing. What we need now is a maintenance system that can warn us when it detects abnormal conditions before significant damage occurs to the bearing. In this study, we have developed an acoustic emissions sensor that can figure if the bearing works under the normal condition. With this acoustic emissions sensor, we can inspect the bearing for defects by using the Heterodyne technique, which converts the ultrasound signal into audio, as a signal conditioning process.

Power losses of a 1-stage DC-DC converter and 2-stage DC-DC converter are compared in this paper. A phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converter is considered as 1-stage topology. This topology has disadvantages in the stress of rectifier diodes because of the resonance between the leakage inductor of the transformer and the junction capacitor of the rectifier diode. 2-stage topology is composed of an LLC resonant full-bridge DC-DC converter and buck converter. The LLC resonant full-bridge DC-DC converter does not need an RC snubber circuit of the rectifier diode. However, there is the drawback that the switching loss of the buck converter is large due to the hard switching operation. To reduce the switching loss of the buck converter, SiC MOSFET is used. This paper analyzes and compares power losses of two topologies considering temperature condition. The validity of the power loss analysis and calculation is verified by a PSIM simulation model.

In this paper, parallel input/serial output dual converter is designed appropriately for fuel cell hybrid power system. In case of proposed converter, zero voltage switching condition is designed without additional resonance device using leakage inductance of transformer and output capacitance of switch, and zero voltage switching method is used. Also, the system method is for increasing power by connecting half-bridge in parallel and increasing output voltage by connecting secondary output of transformer in serial. Through this method we can increase power and decrease volume of system. So in this paper, dual converter is designed. 1.5kW fuel cell hybrid power system was implemented, and system operation and stability was verified through experiment.

In this paper, first, the equations of motion for a rectangular isotropic plate have been derived. This derivation is based on the Von Karmann theory and the effects of shear deformation have been considered. Introducing an Airy stress function, the equations of motion have been transformed to a nonlinear coupled equation. Using Galerkin method, this equation has been separated into position and time functions. By means of the dimensional analysis, it is shown that the orders of magnitude for nonlinear terms are small with respect to linear terms. The Multiple Scales Method has been applied to the equation of motion in the forced vibration and free vibration cases and closed-form relations for the nonlinear natural frequencies, displacement and frequency response of the plate have been derived. The obtained results in comparison with numerical methods are in good agreements. Using the obtained relation, the effects of initial displacement, thickness and dimensions of the plate on the nonlinear natural frequencies and displacements have been investigated. These results are valid for a special range of the ratio of thickness to dimensions of the plate, which is a characteristic of the Multiple Scales Method. In the forced vibration case, the frequency response equation for the primary resonance condition is calculated and the effects of various parameters on the frequency response of system have been studied.

A PTO (power-take-off) mechanism by using relative heave motions between a floating buoy and its inner mass (magnet or amateur) is suggested. The inner power take-off system is characterized by a mass with linear stiffness and damping. A vertical truncated cylinder is selected as a buoy and a special station-keeping system is proposed to minimize pitch motions while not affecting heave motions. By numerical examples, it is seen that the maximum power can actually be obtained at the optimal spring and damper condition, as predicted by the developed WEC(wave energy converter) theory. Then, based on the developed theory, several design strategies are proposed to further enhance the maximum PTO, which includes the intentional mismatching among heave natural frequency of the buoy, natural frequency of the inner dynamic system, and peak frequency of input wave spectrum. By using the intentional mismatching strategy, the generated power is actually increased and the required damping value is significantly reduced, which is a big advantage in designing the proposed WEC with practical inner LEG (linear electric generator) system.

본 논문은 경계가 주기적으로 변하는 주름관에 음파가 전파할 때 발생하는 차단주파수밴드 (stopband)를 이론 및 BEM으로 해석한 내용을 다루었다. 2-D 덕트를 고려하였으며 경계가 길이방향의 사인함수로 변하는 주름관에서 주름의 크기가 덕트 높이에 비해 충분히 작은 경우 다중 스케일 섭동법 (Multiple Scaling Perturbation Method)을 이용하여 해를 구하였다. 주파수가 복소수가 되는 조건에서 Bragg 공진과 Non-Bragg 공진에서 발생하는 차단주파수밴드의 형성조건을 구하였다. 2-D BEM 해석을 수행하여 주름관의 삽입손실 (Insertion Loss)을 계산하였으며 이론적으로 예측한 차단주파수밴드의 존재를 확인하였다.

본 논문은 저출력 He-Ne 레이저의 스펙클 현상을 이용하여, 진동하는 물체의 표면요소들에 의한 운동상태를 분석하는데 그 목격이 있다. 레이저에서 나온 빛은 구리판에서 반사되어 진동판에 스펙클로 나타난다. 이것을 뒤에 설치된 스피커의 음파로 진동시키면 스펙클은 여러 가지 형태로 변화한다. 진동판이 최대로 진동할 때의 진동수는 역학적 공명 진동수이므로 그때의 스펙클변화를 진동판에 표시한다. 스펙클은 진동하는 부분과 진동하지 않는 부분으로 나뉘어 지는데 진동하는 부분은 흐려지거나 스펙클이 나타나지 않는다. 진동모드의 변화는 진동판의 종류와 크기, 고정단 집게의 위치에 따라 달라지는 것을 볼 수 있다.
