This paper describes dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ and dry-air gases under lightning impulse voltages in a quasi-uniform electric field. In order to simulate to a quasi-uniform electric field, electric field utilization factor of the used sphere-plane electrode is 71[%]. The gas pressure of $SF_6$ ranges from 0.1 to 0.2[MPa] and that of dry-air ranges from 0.2 to 0.6[MPa]. Electrical breakdown voltages of $SF_6$ and dry-air gases are measured and analyzed as functions of the polarity of lightning impulse voltage and gas pressure. As a result, the electrical breakdown voltage of both gases under the positive lightning impulse voltage is higher than that under the negative one. The electrical breakdown voltage in $SF_6$ is almost higher than 2.67 times compared to dry-air. The results presented in this paper can be used as a useful information to evaluate the capability of alternative insulation gases for $SF_6$ in power distribution equipment with prominent ability against lightning surge.

Studies on a $SF_6$-mixture and -alternative gas has been in progress to reduce the use of $SF_6$ gas as an insulation material of GIS (gas insulated switchgears). In this paper, we dealt with PD (partial discharge) characteristics in pure $SF_6$ and $N_2$, and their mixtures on aspects of insulation design and risk assessment for GIS. A POC (protrusion on conductor) and a POE (protrusion on enclosure) as the major defects were fabricated to simulate PD. We analyzed the DIV (discharge inception voltage), DEV (discharge extinction voltage), pulse magnitude, counts and phase distribution of PD pulse in $SF_6-N_2$ mixtures ($SF_6$ 100%, $SF_6$ 80%-$N_2$ 20%, $SF_6$ 50%-$N_2$ 50%, $SF_6$ 20%-$N_2$ 80%, and $N_2$ 100%) according to the IEC60270. The DIV, DEV as well as magnitude of PD pulse decreased on the POC as increase of $N_2$ ratio. For the POE, the DIV and DEV in $N_2$ ratio below 50% were the same voltages as those in $SF_6$ 100%. In this experiment, $SF_6$ 80%-$N_2$ 20% mixture could be considered with the equivalent insulation performance to a GIS.

This study examines the physiochemical and quality properties of the bread added with soy fiber powder to promote the intake of soy fiber. For this study, the powder for making bread was mixed with soy fiber, wheat flour and SF-1450 and SF-1260 at the ratio of 0~12% each. The ratios of the edible fiber contained in the soy fiber power samples were 72.0% in the SF-1450 sample and 67.8% in the SF-1260 sample. The mixograph characteristics tended to be conspicuons in proportion to the amount of the soy fiber added at midline peak height, width at peak and, width at 8.00. The specific volume of the bread tended to decrease significantly as the amount of the soy fiber increased from 2 to 12%. In terms of crust chromaticity change, L-value increased more significantly in the samples added with 4 to 12% than the control. For a-value, SF-1450 in the samples with 6 to 12% and SF-1260 in the samples with 8 to 12% more significantly decreased than the control. For such characteristics of texture as hardness, SF-1450 in the samples with 10 to 12% and SF-1260 in the samples with 6 to 12% increased more than the control. As discussed above, the sensual characteristics of the white pan bread with soy fiber added tended to be worse as the amount of the additive increased, compared with the control samples. Summing up the results of the physico-chemical analysis and the overall acceptability, those samples with 2~4% of SF-1450 and 2% of SF-1260 were found excellent.

The various molecular weight (MW) regenerated silk fibroins were prepared with different dissolution condition and the effect of MW on the gelation behavior of regenerated aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution was investigated. The result of gelation time measurement indicated that the gelation of SF aqueous solution was accelerated by the increase of MW and SF concentration. When formic acid was added in SF aqueous solution, the gelation time of SFL and SFC30 aqueous solution showed a significant decreaseat 0.03% formic acid addition. In case of the lowest MW sample, SFC180, SF molecules became aggregated and precipitated without gelation after 28 days storage time. These findings indicate that MW control of SF can be utilized to control the gelation time of SF aqueous solution.

Di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking of silk fibroin (SF) is recently highlighted as a biocompatible hydrogel fabrication process, because this method does not need potentially harmful chemical species. However, the resulting crosslinking density is often insufficient to obtain a mechanically stiff hydrogel unless additional oxygen is provided during the reaction. In this study, we proposed a combinational crosslinking method to form an SF hydrogel via the di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking with riboflavin (photoinitiator) and physical interaction of SF chains. In the UV light-irradiated SF solution, small particles formed and these particles promoted β-sheet formation of SF molecules, resulting in quick gelation. The di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking produced nuclei that might trigger regular assembly of SF molecules in high temperature condition. Conclusively, this process would contribute to a development of biocompatible hydrogel fabrication for biomedical uses of SF hydrogels.

A non-traditional forage-based protocol was employed to evaluate replacement heifer growth, fertility, and economics between small frame (SF, 3.50; n = 50) and large frame (LF, 5.56; n = 50) heifers using three increasing gain growth phases. Preceding an 85 d growing-breeding period (Phase 3; P3) the heifers were managed as a common group for Phases 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). During P1, heifers grazed common fields of unharvested corn and corn residue (total digestible nutrients [TDN] 56%) with supplemental hay. For P2, heifers grazed early spring crested wheatgrass pasture (CWG; TDN 62%) that was followed by the final P3 drylot growing and breeding period (TDN 68%). Small frame heifers were lighter at the end of P1 in May and at the start of P3 breeding in August (p = 0.0002). Percent of mature body weight (BW) at the end of P1 (209 d) was 48.7% and 46.8%, respectively, for the SF and LF heifers and the percent pubertal was lower for SF than for LF heifers (18.0% vs 40.0%; p = 0.02). At breeding initiation (P3), the percentage of mature BW was 57.8 and 57.2 and the percentage pubertal was 90.0 and 96.0 (p = 0.07) for the SF and LF heifers, respectively; a 5-fold increase for SF heifers. Breeding cycle pregnancy on days 21, 42, and 63, and total percent pregnant did not differ (p>0.10). In drylot, SF heifer dry matter intake (DMI) was 20.1% less (p = 0.001) and feed cost/d was 20.3% lower (p = 0.001), but feed cost/kg of gain did not differ between SF and LF heifers (p = 0.41). Economically important live animal measurements for muscling were measured in May and at the end of the study in October. SF heifers had greater L. dorsi muscle area per unit of BW than LF heifers (p = 0.03). Small frame heifer value was lower at weaning (p = 0.005) and the non-pregnant ending heifer value was lower for SF heifers than for the LF heifers (p = 0.005). However, the total development cost was lower for SF heifers (p = 0.001) and the net cost per pregnant heifer, after accounting for the sale of non-pregnant heifers, was lower for SF heifers (p = 0.004). These data suggest that high breeding efficiency can be attained among March-April born SF and LF virgin heifers when transitioned to a more favorable May-June calving period through the strategic use of grazed and harvested forages resulting in a lower net cost per pregnant SF heifer.

Objectives: Experiencing early childhood trauma is related to multiple psychiatric problems in adolescents and adulthood. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Early Trauma Inventory Self Report-Short Form (ETISR-SF) among Korean adolescents. Methods: A total of 86 adolescents aged 12-17 years (mean age $14.50{\pm}1.35years$, range 12-17) were assessed using the ETISR-SF. Other instruments, including the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), the revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS), and the List of Threatening Experiences Questionnaire (LTE-Q), were used to assess clinical symptoms. After 2 months, 51 of the 86 participants were evaluated using the ETISR-SF to assess test-retest reliability. Results: The Cronbach's coefficient alpha for the ETISR-SF was high (0.803). Adolescents with depressive disorder showed higher ETISR-SF scores compared to healthy controls. The ETISR-SF scores were correlated higher with the scores on the LTE-Q (r=0.485) than with the scores on the CDI or RCMAS (r=0.165 and 0.347, respectively). Conclusion: The ETISR-SF was temporally stable, showing acceptable reliability (r=0.776). These findings suggest that the Korean version of the ETISR-SF appears to be a reliable and valid instrument for the measurement of reported childhood trauma.

Sulfur hexafloride($SF_6$) emission to atmosphere is lower than $CO_2$, but $SF_6$ GWP is 22,800 times lager than $CO_2$. In recent years as restriction of $non-CO_2$ gas has been greatly reinforced, development of environment-friendly technology with $SF_6$ removal is becoming to main issue. This study shows that $SF_6$ used insulator electrical equipment has emission characteristics during the each phase(maintenance, use, diposal), and analyzed $SF_6$ emission reduction technology related phase. The major technology applies maintenance and disposal step is that improvment of gas recovery rate($85{\rightarrow}99%$), manufacturing catalysts, internal inspection of circuit breaker using endoscopy. Using those technolgies can reduce $SF_6$ emission in atmosphere.

Although many studies have been carried out about binary gas mixtures with $SF_6$, few studies were presented about breakdown characteristics of $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures. At present study the breakdown characteristics of SFJCF4 mixtures in uniform field was performed. The experiments were carried out under AC and standard lightning impulse (SLI) voltages. The sphere-sphere electrode whose gap distance was 1 mm was used in a test chamber. $SF_6/CF_4$ mixtures contained from 0 to 100% $SF_6$ and the experimental gas pressure ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 MPa. The results show that addition of $SF_6$ to $CF_4$ increase AC and SLI breakdown voltages. Under AC voltages the breakdown voltages of each mixture were linearly increased according to the quantity of $SF_6$. However under SLI voltages the breakdown voltages of each mixture were similar.
