To eradicate several viruses such as PVX, PVY, and PLRV which often cause considerable damages to the growth and yields of potatoes, several stems including shoot tips were excised from the potato plants grown for 50 days and electric shock was treated. Shoot tips excised from electric-shocked stems were transferred into the medium supplemented with antiviral compound, ribavirin to examine the combinatorial effect. When treated only with 20 mg/L ribavirin, PVX concentration in the regenerated plant-lets was slowly decreased as repeating sub-culture and finally, it took 32 weeks to reach completely PVX-free stock. With an electric shock treatment (10 mA electric current), all the replicates became free from PVY. However, PLRV was not completely eradicated from 94P70-4 and 93P29-3 lines even by treating with 10 mA electric shock. In this case, both electric shock and antiviral compound treatments in axillary buds from the stem segment were successful in eradicating viral contamination.

In this paper, guard lamps at three areas have been investigated to understand the actual conditions of the electric shock hazard of the guard lamps. Upon the basis of the obtained data, the actual conditions of the guard lamps were precisely analyzed in terms of the electric shock hazard. As a result of the investigation, it was turned out that many guard lamps were not installed in organized ways due to the lack of legal regulations, resulting in the increase of electric shock hazard. Therefore, it is necessary, from a point of electric shock protection view, to establish the regulations of equipment installation and management, which can be specifically applied to guard lamps.

This experiment was carried out to find out whether an electric-shock can hatch the diapause eggs or not. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The electric-shock speeded up the embryonic development in diapausing eggs. 2. The higher hatchability was shown by the electric shock for five seconds. 3. The diapause eggs which had been treated with electric-shock and cold storage were hatched covering 15 to 22 days.

The live line working is inherently dangerous as the workers have to work under the risk of electrical shock and most of works are carried out at height. The live line working need the some specific techniques and higher level safety measures such as a risk assessment to carry out works safely, but the electrical construction companies performed live-line working are usually small-sized companies. They have less capacity to have own safety management system. This study intended to conduct an in-depth analysis on the cause of electric shock accidents to provide basic data for policy proposing taking into considering the past eleven years for a long-term plan. And the aim of this study is to propose the policy about the equipment performance standards and/or worker's safety standards to revise the standards for preventing electric shock accidents, moreover, co-relation of the electrical work order form and on safety workings, especially electrical construction company/work.

Thermal shock test methods and thermal shock parameters for ceramics were reviewed from the following viewpoints: (1) The test methods should be based on the precise estimation of both temperature and thermal stress distributions in a specimen taking into account the temperature-dependent thermo-mechanical properties; (2) The thermal shock parameters must be defined as a physical property of the materials and described as a function of temperature at the fracture point of the specimen; (3) The relation between the strength and fracture toughness of brittle ceramics under a thermal shock load must be the same as the relation under a mechanical load. In addition, appropriate thermal shock parameters should be defined by the thermal shock strength and thermal shock fracture toughness based on stress and energy criteria, respectively. A constant heat flux method is introduced as a testing technique suitable for estimating these thermal shock parameters directly from the electric power charged.

This paper presents study on the electric potential distribution when have a short in street lamp. In order to measure electric potential testing ground is built in. A experiment is conducted to simulate dry and submerged situation of street lamp. The street lamp is leaked by artificial means. And electric potential is measured in grounded street lamp and street lamp alone. The results show that touch voltage of grounded street lamp is possible more high than street lamp alone. And the electric shock hazard is high because high electric potential is distributed near submerged street lamp. Also if street lamp is submerged ground is not useful to decrease electric shock hazard.

Recently, DC distribution systems have become a hot issue because of the increase in digital loads and DC generation systems according to the expansion of renewable energy technologies. To obtain the practical usage of DC electricity, safety should be guaranteed. The main concerns for safety are twofold: one side is human protection against electric shocks, and the other is facility protection from short faults. "Effects of current on human beings and livestock" (IEC 60479) defines a human body impedance model in electric shock conditions that consists of resistive components and capacitive components. Although the human body impedance model properly works in AC electricity, it does not well match with the electric shock behavior in DC electricity. In this study, the contradiction of the human body impedance model defined by IEC 60479 in case of DC electricity is shown through experiments for the human body. From the analysis of experimental results, a novel unified human body impedance model in electric shock conditions is proposed. This model consists of resistive components, capacitive components, and an inductance component. The proposed human impedance model matches well for AC and DC electricity environments in simulation and experiment.

The paper considers the electrical shock risk of the human body due to underwater leakage current in electric field. The characteristics of electric shock in fresh water due to the leakage of submerged electric facility in the bathtub in public baths were conducted. The exposed live electrode is modeled as a point source of electric current source. It is assumed that divergent monopole field exists in the vicinity of the current source, regardless of the presence of return electrode and insulating boundary. The electric potentials in the steel bathtub, Diesen and Mole and Flux3D program one are measured according to the distance from leakage source. The results show that the increased shock risk and safe distance are estimated by the bathtub of limited width and the voltage calculated on the basis of a divergent monopole field concept is compared with the measured value.

This paper presents the evaluation electric shock risk In bath so that we made and designed a bathtub which is the same size in real public bath. and then we did an experiment, provided of electric leakage in various conditions so, we measured how to form an electric potential and knew the electric potential is formed variously under exposed conductor in bath. also we made certain that electric shock risk is down if we insert an insulated pipe in bathtub pipe which is prevent from being formed the electric field sharply.
