Purpose: A personal computer-based system was developed for automated metabolic profiling of organic aciduria and aminoacidopathy by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and data interpretation for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders Methods: For automatic data profiling and interpretation, we compiled retention time, two target ions and their intensity ratio for 77 organic acids and 13 amino acids metabolites. Metabolites above the cut-off values were flagged as abnormal compounds. The data interpretation was a based on combination of flagged metabolites. Diagnostic or index metabolites were categorized into three groups, "and", "or" and "NO" compiled for each disorder to improve the specificity of the diagnosis. Groups "and" and "or" comprised essential and optional compounds, respectively, to reach a specific diagnosis. Group "NO" comprised metabolites that must be absent to make a definite diagnosis. We tested this system by analyzing patients with confirmed Propionic aciduria and others. Results: In all cases, the diagnostic metabolites were identified and correct diagnosis was founded to be made among the possible disease suggested by the system. Conclusion: The study showed that the developed method could be the method of choices in rapid, sensitive and simultaneous screening for organic aciduria and amino acidopathy with this simplified automated system.

There is an excess gamma flux from the general direction of the Galactic North Pole compared with that from the south when allowance is made for the contribution from CR interactions with the HI gas (Osborne et al., 1994). The extent to which it is in accord with the predictions of Wdowczyk and Wolfendale (1990 a,b) for gamma rays secondary to very high energy CR escaping from the VIRGO cluster is examined and it is claimed that the observations may well be of the order of those expected.

Generally, MWCNT, with thermal, chemical and electrical superiority, is manufactured with CVD (chemical vapor deposition). Using MWCNT, it is comonly used as gas sensor of MOS-FET structure. In this study, in order to repeatedly detect gases, the author had to effectively eliminate gases absorbed in a MWCNT sensor. So as to eliminate gases absorbed in a MWCNT sensor, the sensor was applied heat of 423[K], and in order to observe how the applied heat was diffused within the sensor, the author interpreted the diffusion process of heat, using COMSOL interpretation program. In order to interpret the diffusion process of heat, the author progressed modeling with the structure of MWCNT gas sensor in 2-dimension, and defining heat transfer velocity($u={\Delta}T/{\Delta}x$), accorded to governing equation within the sensor, the author proposed heat transfer mechanism.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) methods are widely employed for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of gas pipelines. In the application of MFL pipeline inspection technology, corrosion anomalies are detected and identified via their leakage filed due to changes in wall thickness. The gas industry is keenly interested in automating the interpretation process, because a large amount of data to be analyzed is generated for in-line inspection. This paper presents a novel approach to the tasks of data segmentation, feature extraction and depth estimation from gas pipelines. Also, we will show that the proposed method successfully identifying artificial defects.

In this article, the performance of the THC analyzer was inspected using two different span gases of methane ($CH_4$) and propane ($C_3H_8$). To explore the effect of standard gas selection, MicroFID system was tested by the following procedures. Initially, the system is spanned by propane gas of 60 ppm (or 180 ppmC). The system is then run against methane standards prepared at 5 different concentrations of 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 ppm. According to the suggestion of the KMOE's test procedure to use multiplying a factor of 3 (for propane), the resulting THC values derived by methane standards were systematically biased with ~500% error relative to true value. This paper discusses the interpretation procedures to obtain the least biased THC values for a given span set-up.

본 논문에서는 헬륨가스 흡입에 따른 조음기관의 특성이 변화되는 것을 측정하기 위해 음성분석학적 요소의 적용을 통한 실험을 수행하였다. 헬륨가스는 기존에 잠수부가 사용하던 질소가스가 인체에 치명적인 공기 색전증을 유발하게 되면서 이를 극복하기 위한 대체 호흡용 가스로 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 헬륨가스는 명료도가 낮은 squeaky voice를 유발하기 때문에 잠수부들의 비정상적인 음성에 대한 해석에 어려움이 많다. 따라서, 헬륨가스가 음성기관에 미치는 영향을 음성분석학적 특성 변화로 측정하기 위해 헬륨가스 흡입 전과 후의 음성을 기반으로 피치 및 스펙트로그램 측정, 분석에 대한 실험을 수행하였다.

Exhaust gases of a vessel from a main engine, a diesel generator and an incinerator contain very harmful substances like soot, $SO_2$ and NOx. Careful design of funnel shape is required to prevent those harmful exhaust gases from influencing on accommodation and a fan room. Meanwhile, the exhaust gases are also hot enough to damage electronic devices like radar. Therefore the funnel design should be considered so that electronic devices are not directly exposed to the exhaust gas in the strong stern wind. This study may propose guidelines of optimum design criterion for the anti-thermal damage design of the electronic devices and anti-recirculating design of harmful exhaust gas near the accommodation. From CFD analyses, we can understand that the major factors affecting the exhaust gas dispersion are the large scale mixing by separation vortices and the sluggish flow in the recirculation region. We hope that the funnel flow analysis around ship's funnel is used for practical optimum funnel design to minimize the exhaust gas dispersion by adjusting the funnel shape, the position of the exhaust pipe, the shape of bulwark, the exhaust direction of air ventilated an engine room and the angle of the exhaust pipe.

The integrity of the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is vital to the safety of an entire power grid. However, there are some limitations on the techniques of detecting and diagnosing partial discharge (PD) induced by insulation defects in GIS. This paper proposes a joint electro-chemical detection method to resolve the problems of incomplete PD data source and also investigates a new unique fault diagnosis method to enhance the reliability of data processing. By employing ultra-high frequency method for online monitoring and the chemical method for detecting SF6 decomposition offline, the acquired data can form a more complete interpretation of PD signals. By utilizing DS evidence theory, the diagnostic results with tests on the four typical defects show the validity of the new fault diagnosis system. With higher accuracy and lower computation cost, the present research provides a promising way to make a more accurate decision in practical application.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inspection is a general non-destructive testing (NDT) method to detect the corrosion of natural gas pipelines. Currently, it is subjectively analyzed by trained analysts. In spite of investing much time and human resources, the inspection results may be different according to the analysts' expertise. So, many gas suppliers are keenly interested in the automation of the interpretation process. This paper presents a Gaussian variance filtering method of MFL signals, which is taken from MFL pigging of underground pipelines. In the proposed algorithm the original MFL signals are filtered by multiple Gaussians with different variance. Experimental results show that this approach does not need to align bias and to use explicit noise reduction algorithm.

Similarly to other cluster of galaxies previously classified as cooling flow systems, the Chandra observation of MKW 3s reveals that this object has a complex X-ray structure hosting both a X-ray cavity and a X-ray filament. Unlike the other clusters, however, the temperature map of the core of MKW 3s shows the presence of extended regions of gas heated above the radially averaged gas temperature at any radius. As the cluster does not show evidences for ongoing major mergers Mazzotta et al. suggest a connection between the heated gas and the activity of the central AGN. Nevertheless, due to the lack of high quality radio maps, this interpretation was controversial. In this paper we present the results of two new radio observations of MKW 3s at 1.28 GHz and 604 MHz obtained at the GMRT. Together with the Chandra observation and a separate VLA observation at 327 MHz from Young, we show unequivocal evidences for a close connection between the heated gas region and the AGN activity and we briefly summarize possible implications.
