The estimation of non-linear ship motion is one of the most important issues in recent studies of ship stability. In this paper, bispectral analysis and bicoherence analysis were introduced in order to analyze the non-linear ship motion. In addition to the previously observed non-linear pitching motion in following seas, this study observed the non-linear phase coupling of pitching motion in following & quartering seas, and starboard beam seas. By comparing phase coupling between each frequency quantitatively via the bicoherence analysis, it was confirmed that non-linear phase coupling was much stronger in frequency regions other than the peak frequencies of a power spectrum. Furthermore, it was found out that the results of bicoherence calculation were analagous to each other, although the different normalization methods were applied.

In this paper, we present a computer-aided design(CAD) technique for minimizing the phase shift in microstrip PIN diode attenuators due to the junction capacitance in the equivalent circuit model of PIN diode. Microstrip PIN diode attenuators use the characteristics which the reactance of microstrip line changes from inductive to capacitive as the frequency sweeps across the band. Microstrip PIN diode attenuator designed utilizes the quarter-wavelength transmission line terminating with the half-moon radial stub, which is designed for negligible phase shifting effect over the intersted bandwidth. The attenuator has similar phase shift at 0 dB and 10 dB of attenuation within average $1.27^{\circ}$ between 1.2GHz and 1.9GHz. The input and output return losses between 1.4 GHz and 1.9 GHz are less than 10 dB over the attenuation range of 0 dB and 10 dB.

Objective: Among various methods developed to quantitatively explore electroencephalograms (EEG), we focused on a wavelet method that was known to yield robust results under nonstationary conditions. The aim of this study was thus to introduce the wavelet method and demonstrate its potential use in clinical sleep studies. Method: This study involved artificial EEG specifically designed to validate the wavelet method. The method was performed to obtain time-dependent spectral power and phase angles of the signal. Synchrony of multichannel EEG was analyzed by an order parameter of the instantaneous phase. The standard methods, such as Fourier transformation and coherence, were also performed and compared with the wavelet method. The method was further validated with clinical EEG and ERP samples available as pilot studies at academic sleep centers. Result: The time-frequency plot and phase synchrony level obtained by the wavelet method clearly showed dynamic changes in the EEG waveforms artificially fabricated. When applied to clinical samples, the method successfully detected changes in spectral power across the sleep onset period and identified differences between the target and background ERP. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the wavelet method could be an alternative and/or complementary tool to the conventional Fourier method in quantifying and identifying EEG and ERP biomarkers robustly, especially when the signals were nonstationary in a short time scale (1-100 seconds).

Considering the complex structure and high volatility in the shipping market, it is important to investigate the connectedness amongst influencing factors. This study explores the dynamic relationship between supply-demand factors and shipping freight indices. We choose Capesize and Panamax in the bulk carrier market and use quarterly data of GDP, world fleet, BCI, and BPI from 1999 to 2021. Applying the wavelet analysis and wavelet Granger causality test, the simultaneous examination of co-movement and causality between two factors and the shipping market in both the time and frequency domains is achieved. We find that co-movement and causality vary across time and frequencies, thereby existing dynamic relationships between variables. Second, compared to multiple coherencies using demand and supply factors together, partial coherencies indicate noticeable causalities. It implies that analyzing demand and supply factors separately is essential. Finally, shipping freight indices show a high correlation with the demand factor in a good market and with the supply factor in a bad market. Generally, GDP positively leads shipping freights in the recovery phase while the world fleet negatively leads shipping freights in the downturn. The research is meaningful in that the rarely-applied wavelet analysis is adopted in the shipping market and that it gives a reasonable ground to explain the role of supply and/or demand factors in different phases of the market cycle.

개최들의 개별화를 위한 대표적인 법칙으로 간주되고 있는 라이프니츠의 법칙은 철학에서만 아니라 수학이나 논리학과 같은 순수과학에서도 중요한 법칙으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에 들어서 라이프니츠의 법칙은 그 논리적 위상과 관련하여 심각한 논란의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 논란의 근본적 원인은 칸트나 블랙과 같은 철학자들에 의해 라이프니츠의 법칙이 적용되지 않을 기능성을 보이는 반례가 제시되었고, 많은 철학자들이 이에 동조한 데에서 찾을 수 있다. 라이프니츠의 법칙의 논리적 위상과 관계된 철학자들의 입장은 크게 두 가지로 구분된다. 첫 번째 입장은 블랙 등에 의해 제시된 예들을 라이프니츠의 법칙에 대한 정당한 반례로 간주하는 입장이고, 두 번째 입장은 이러한 예들은 리이프니츠의 법칙에 대한 반례로 간주될 수 없다는 입장이다. 두 번째 입장을 쥐이는 대표적 철학자는 헷킹이다. 헷킹은 시공간에 대한 인습주의에 입각하여 블랙 등에 의해 제시된 예는 완전한 가능성을 나타내는 것이 아니고 라이프니츠의 법칙은 가능세계에 대한 메타 원칙으로 간주되어야 한다고 주장하고 있다. 본고에서 필자는 리이프니츠의 법칙을 옹호하려는 헷킹의 시도는 성공적이지 못하고, 또한 블랙 등에 의해 제시된 예들은 라이프니츠의 법칙에 대안 정당한 반례로 간주되어야 한다는 입장을 개진하고 있다. 필자가 이러한 입장을 취하게 된 것은 헷킹의 입장은 논리적 기능성과 물리적 기능성 사이의 구별을 어렵게 한다는 문제점 이외에도 가능세계 의미론과 관련된 중요한 문제점들을 야기하고 있기 때문이다. 가능세계 의미론과 관련된 문제점은 이러한 시도는 가능세계 의미론에 입각한 양상명제들의 해석의 범위를 제한하게 만들고 De-Re 양상명제에 대한 해석을 위해 필수적인 헤세이티즘의 수용을 불가능하게 한다는 것이다.

In this study, the excessive noise and vibration phenomena of a high-speed Ro/Ro passenger ship were analyzed, and a countermeasure was taken based on them. This ship was granted a comfort class notation by the classification society, which was COMFORT-VIBRATION-II and COMFORT-NOISE-CREW-II. However, unfortunately, excessive noise and vibration in the aft part of the ship were delivered from the twin shaft propellers, and therefore the Class Requirement was not satisfied before delivery. In order to obtain the class notation, all of the concerned parties came to an agreement to reduce the noise and vibration level during operation after delivery because a seasonal ferry service was already scheduled and the cabin was fully booked. The root cause of the massive amount of noise and vibration was mainly the propeller-induced excitation pulse and beating that occurred from the mismatch of the rotating speeds of the two shaft lines. A 1st order vibrating force and beating phenomena existed in the propeller. Thus, a reduction of the excitation force, elimination of the beating phenomena, and decrease of the noise level at the aft area cabins and public spaces were required. In addition, structural reinforcements were conducted using pillars and additional girders at the aft part of the decks.

In this paper, keeping pace with light weight, pocket-size, lower-price, we design VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) X/Ku band for using at public RD(Radar Detector) to apply to controlled voltage on base in transistor which used as a oscillator, without using varactor diode in part of VCO tuner. As a result of simulation, we conclude VCO could be have 110 MHz by controlled voltage 4.25 V to 4.80 V and show its output 9.63 dBm at operating frequency, 11.46 GHz, and its phase noise -107.2 dBc at 1 MHz offset frequency. So it turned out suitable performance for commercial use.

As jet lag of modern travel continues to spread, there has been an exponential growth in popular explanations of jet lag and recommendations for curing it. Some of this attention are misdirected, and many of those suggested solutions are misinformed. The author reviewed the basic science of jet lag and its practical outcome. The jet lag symptoms stemed from several factors, including high-altitude flying, lag effect, and sleep loss before departure and on the aircraft, especially during night flight. Jet lag has three major components; including external de synchronization, internal desynchronization, and sleep loss. Although external de synchronization is the major culprit, it is not at all uncommon for travelers to experience difficulty falling asleep or remaining asleep because of gastrointestinal distress, uncooperative bladders, or nagging headaches. Such unwanted intrusions most likely to reflect the general influence of internal desynchronization. From the free-running subjects, the data has revealed that sleep tendency, sleepiness, the spontaneous duration of sleep, and REM sleep propensity, each varied markedly with the endogenous circadian phase of the temperature cycle, despite the facts that the average period of the sleep-wake cycle is different from that of the temperature cycle under these conditions. However, whereas the first ocurrence of slow wave sleep is usually associated with a fall in temperature, the amount of SWS is determined primarily by the length of prior wakefulness and not by circadian phase. Another factor to be considered for flight in either direction is the amount of prior sleep loss or time awake. An increase in sleep loss or time awake would be expected to reduce initial sleep latency and enhance the amount of SWS. By combining what we now know about the circadian characteristics of sleep and homeostatic process, many of the diverse findings about sleep after transmeridian flight can be explained. The severity of jet lag is directly related to two major variables that determine the reaction of the circadian system to any transmeridian flight, eg., the direction of flight, and the number of time zones crossed. Remaining factor is individual differences in resynchmization. After a long flight, the circadian timing system and homeostatic process can combine with each other to produce a considerable reduction in well-being. The author suggested that by being exposed to local zeit-gebers and by being awake sufficient to get sleep until the night, sleep improves rapidly with resynchronization following time zone change.
