Background: The XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross complimenting group-I) gene in BER (base excision repair) pathway is essential for DNA repair process. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in the repair efficiency which might predispose individuals to development of various cancers. Two variants of XRCC1gene (at codon 399), Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln, have been shown to be related to lowered DNA repair capacity and increased genomic instability in multiple studies. Hence our investigation focused on genotyping these variants to correlate with other multiple risk factors in lung cancer (NSCLC) patients since we hypothesized that these variants of the XRCC1 gene might influence disease susceptibility. Materials and Methods: We examined the frequency of the polymorphism in one hundred cases and an almost equal number of controls after recording their demographics with a structured questionnaire. Genomic DNA from blood samples was extracted for PCR studies, followed by RFLP to determine the variants. The significance of the data was statistically analyzed. Results: The three genotypes in cases and controls were Arg/Arg (40% and 54.45%); Gln/Gln (19% and 9.90%), and Arg/Gln (41.0% and 35.64%) respectively. Among these 3 genotypes, we found Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln to show association with lung cancer. Correlating these genotypes with several parameters, we also found that these two variants were associated with risk in males (p<0.05) and with smoking habits (p<0.05). In females Arg/Gln genotype showed association with stage of the disease (p=0.04). This is the first report in South Indian scenario where Arg399Gln genotypes were found to be associated with stage of the disease in females. Conclusions: It is concluded that XRCC1 genotypes Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln may influence cancer susceptibility in patients with smoking habits and these functional SNPs in XRCC1 gene may act as attractive candidate biomarkers in lung cancer for diagnosis and prognosis.

The purpose of this study is application of strengthening technique of R/C concrete bridge by standardization of repair and rehabilitation. For that, experiment to bridge is necessary, and through the experiment, this study can identify the efficiency o applied method and analysis of design parameters with can't get in the laboratory experiment. This study will prove the structural behavior of R/C type girder bridge which is deteriorated but repaired and rehabilitation from standardized strengthening method with fiber plastic.

Owing to the strike of lightning a breakage of insulator would happen. This breakage may give rise to many problems such as increment of reclosing failure, a drop for reliance and a hardship of maintenance and repair. To solve those problem, this study develop a protected equipment for insulator which is suitable to 22.9[kV] distribution line towers and is purposed to investigation for a Proper adaption, Protection efficiency of insulator and effect of adaption.

This study deals with the schemes of design, plan and operate maintenance management support systems and with the engineering approach for the solutions to build the maintenance management for the production efficiency. Maintenance Management Information System(MMIS) is the task that must focus on machinery historical data and planned maintenance action. Also the efficient supporting system in a maintenance management is achieved by database which is based on process of machinery's failure history. Designing method of maintenance management information system, maintenance modules are consisted of six factors ; machinery's historical data, lubrication control, check sheet, repair work, availability report, and performance report(control board and detailed reports), and then operators can rapidly utilize data in work place. In the implementation of designed model, program coding has been developed by Visual Basic 3.0. Data insertion, deletion and updating which perform menu screen is implemented by reading data from database. Implementation model based on LAN environment and related data is stored in Microsoft DBMS.

This study presents an algorithm to select the best alternative plane among various bridge superstructure types (Steel box girder, Rational girder, PSC-I girder) using Value Engineering (VE). Economical efficiency, landscape, constructability, maintenance, stability, function of bridge superstructure were taken into consideration in the designing of bridge. Economical efficiency was evaluated for each alternative plan with optimal design considering Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Repair and rehabilitation histories and some factors were set to get reasonable results. In the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), consistency of Pairwise Comparisons Matrix was evaluated and the best plan was determined.

This paper studies stand-alone photovoltaic array for solar lighting lamp. The solar lighting lamp has PV modules, batteries. and charge & discharge system. The charge efficiency is improved for the control of each battery which is divided the charge from the discharge to change the structure of existing solar lighting lamp charge & discharge system. so, the charge and discharge times are reduced of 50%. and the depth of discharge control can be controlled in the discharge cut off voltage. This can be effective of battery use. If a battery is out of order, this system can be executed for a regular period. so we saved the repair cost and developed of system's stabilization. It is possible economical effect to apply for solar lighting lamp used photovoltaic array.

Maintenance is classified preventive maintenance before performing equipment failure and corrective maintenance after performing equipment failure. In preventive maintenance, we may analyze the failure data to end from beginning of equipment and allocate maintenance method and calculate maintenance cycle quantitatively by the failure data analysis. So, it has a merit to reduce system maintenance cost and to operate effectively but, it require high cost in system introducing and continuous operation to end of system. In corrective maintenance, we may calculate MTTR(mean time to repair) quantitatively based on function failure time. it can be based on establishing maintenance system for operation efficiency. In this paper, we may reflect the MTTR for the onboard equipped in Tilting train to establish maintenance system for Tilting train operation efficiency.
