This paper presents a screening technique for greatly reducing the computation involved in determining the optimal location and types of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices in a large power system. The first-order sensitivities of the generation cost for various FACTS devices are derived. This technique requires solving only one optimal power flow (OPF) to obtain sensitivities with respect to FACTS device control variables for every transmission line To implement a sensitivity-based screening technique, we used a new UPFC model, which consists of an ideal transformer with a complex turns ratio and a variable shunt admittance. A S-bus system based on the IEEE 14-bus system was used to illustrate the technique.

A cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing staff of a missionary hospital of Delhi in June 2009. All the nurses were invited to participate in the training programme on breast cancer and techniques of breast self examination (BSE). A questionnaire was administered to all 259 participants seeking information on their level of awareness regarding breast cancer and relevant screening guidelines. With the help of 5 training workshops all the nurses were imparted training regarding the most appropriate technique of doing breast self exams. The mean age of the participants was 35.8 years. Out of a total of 259 nursing staff members 77.2% correctly answered all the 10 questions regarding high risk factors for breast cancer and after the training programme this increased to 100% (p<0.05). Only 65.2% of the participants gave correct responses to all the 8 questions regarding correct technique of performing a BSE, which after the training programme increased to 99.3% (p<0.05). At the baseline only 56.8% knew all the three screening methods correctly and after the intervention 98.7% could correctly mark the responses regarding screening (p<0.05). The actual practice of following the screening guidelines amongst the nursing staff was poor. Only 26 (10.03%) had ever done a BSE, none performed it monthly, 58 (22.4%) had ever gone themselves for a CBE and 18 (6. 94%) had ever undergone mammography.

대두 자반병에 대하여 저항성인 계통 선발을 위한 Mass-screening technique를 확립하고 이 종자잡종법을 이용하여 수집재내종 및 각 품종의 저항성검정을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조숙성인 수집재내종 50계통의 자반병 자연감염률과 종자접종에 의한 자주빛 색소 형성률간에 나타난 정의 상관관계는 r=0.121로서 고도의 유의성이 인정되었으며 이 종자접종법은 효과약인 Mass-screening technique으로서 방사선을 이용한 돌연변이육종에서 자반병저항성 계통선발에 이용가능성이 높았다. 2. 자반병 자연감염률이 극히 낮은 만숙성 수집재내종 85계통은 종자접종에 의하여 대부분이 이병성 반응을 보였으며 이는 포장에서의 만숙계통의 저항성이 유전적인 특성이기 보다는 병해도피 현상에 기인한 것으로 생각되었다. 3. 대두품종의 저항성검정에서 우리나라 대두 36품종을 비롯하여 일본과 대만의 각 16품종, 베트남 11품종, 필리핀 8품종 및 미국 38품종 등 대부분이 이병성이였고 미국품종인 Sac, Hill, Harosoy등이 비교적 저항성 이었다. 4. 각 지역에서 분리한 대두 자반병균 244 isolates 중에서 배지에서 자주빛 색소를 형성하지 않는 두 균주를 제외하고는 모두가 암조건에서는 감자한천배지에서, 광조건에서는 오트밀한친배지에서 자주빛 색소형성이 잘 되었으며 배지에서의 색소형성 정도는 종자에서의 병원성과 밀접한 상관이 있었다.

한반도는 고도의 산업화와 도시화로 인해 깨끗한 MT 및 GDS 자료를 획득하기 매우 어렵다. 이러한 환경에서는 적당한 신호 대 잡음비를 가지는 자료를 선별하는 전처리 과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 전자기장의 분광에너지에 기반한 자동 전처리 과정(RMP)을 한반도의 현실적인 상황을 고려하여 수정하였고, 이를 한반도 내륙에서 획득된 총 7 측점의 MT 자료에 적용하였다. 전반적으로, RMP 기법은 주기 10초 대역 부근에서 주파수에 따른 전기비저항과 위상의 연결성을 상당히 향상시켰다. 또한 RMP 기법에 의한 결과는 수작업으로 편집된 기존의 처리 결과와도 거의 유사였고, 특히 전기 비저항의 연결성면에서 그 우수성이 확인되었다.

Column--swtiching technique with a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the routine analysis of radioiodinated insulin and its degadation products in biological fluids. The diluted biological samples were loaded onto a precolumn packed with LiChrosorb RP-8 $(25-40{\;}{\mu}m)$ using 0.1% trifuoroacetic acid (TFA) in water as a washing solvent. After valve switching, the concentrated insulins were eluted in the back-flush mode and separated by a W-Porex $C_{18}$ column with a gradient of 0.1% TFA in water and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The method showed good precision, accuracy and speed with the detection limit of 20 pg/ml. Total analysis time per sample was about 40 min and the coefficients of variation were less than 8, 2%.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive, mobile screening method which does not use ionizing radiation to the human breast. It is based on the theory that cancer cells display altered local dielectric properties, thus demonstrating measurably higher conductivity values. This article reviews the utilisation of EIT in breast cancer detection. It could be used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasonography for breast cancer screening.

Based on the Green's function technique, an analytical approach is developed to examine the surface wave screening effectiveness of composite wave barriers. The composite barrier consists of a high velocity layer sandwiched between two thin layers of low shear velocity materials. The high velocity layer is represented by differential matrix operators which relate the wave fields on each side of the layer. The low velocity layers are modeled by non-rigid contact conditions which allow partial sliding at the interfaces. Screening ratio of barriers with various combination of material, geometric, and non-rigidness parameters are compared and discussed in some detail.

A new technique is proposed to obtain more effective screening efficiency against the ground vibration using intermittent geofoam (IF) in-filled trench. The numerical analysis is performed by employing two-dimensional finite element method under dynamic condition. Vertically oscillated strip foundation is considered as the vibration source. In presence of the ground vibration, the vertical displacements at different locations (pick-up points) along the ground surface are captured to determine the amplitude reduction factor (ARF), which helps to assess the efficiency of the vibration screening technique. The efficiency of IF over continuous geofoam (CF) in-filled vibration barriers is assessed by varying the geofoam density, the location of trench and the frequency of excitation. The results from this study indicate that a significant reduction in ARF can be achieved by using intermittent geofoam as compared to continuous geofoam. Further, it is noticed that the efficiency of IF increases with an increase in the frequency of the vibrating source. These encouraging results put forward the potential of utilising intermittent geofoam as a vibration screening material.

In the protein database search, 3D structural shape comparison for protein screening plays a important role. Protein databases have big size and have been grown rapidly. Exhaustive search methods cannot provide a satisfactory performance. As protein is composed of a set of spheres, the similarity calculation of two set of spheres is very expensive. Thus, a reasonable filtering method could be an answer for the speedup of protein screening. In this paper, we suggest a speedup method for protein screening with atom number and bounding sphere. We also show some experimental results for the validity of our method.

Cervical cancer is an issue of foremost importance globally, specifically affecting the developing nations. Significant advances have taken place with regard to diagnosis of cervical cancer, especially with screening. Appropriate screening measures can thus reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. The most desirable screening technique should be less invasive, easy to perform, cost-effective and cover a wide range of diagnostic icons. Manual liquid based cytology (MLBC) can be considered as one of the suitable technique for screening with the above-mentioned benefits. The aim of the current study was to compare two cervical screening techniques on the basis of different morphological parameters and staining parameters by using modified acetic acid Pap staining to see the possibility of reducing time economy involved in conventional Pap staining (CPS). The study was conducted on a total 88 cases and all were analyzed with both MLBC and CPS. Forty eight cases that were regarded as satisfactory on the basis of Bethesda system by both methods were further recruited for investigation. Their morphological parameters and staining quality were compared and scored according to a scoring system defined in the study. Quality indices was calculated for both staining procedures and smear techniques.
