  • In this paper, we propose a vertical axis water turbine with dual blades. A parametric study was conducted using numerical analyses. First, a two-dimensional finite-volume analysis with a commercial code was used to find the pitch angle of the main blade under different tip speed ratio conditions. Second, we developed a potential-based panel method to find the best configuration of the inner blades. Experimental tests were conducted at the circulating water channel of Chungnam National University. Various configurations of the dual blades were considered, and their performances were comparatively investigated. The results showed that the turbine with movable dual blades produces a constant torque and tip speed ratio at various flow rates.

  • Motivated essentially by their potential for applications in a wide range of mathematical and physical problems, the log-sine and log-cosine integrals have been evaluated, in the existing literature on the subject, in many different ways. Very recently, Choi [6] presented explicit evaluations of some families of log-sine and log-cosine integrals by making use of the familiar Beta function. In the present sequel to the investigation [6], we evaluate the log-sine and log-cosine integrals involved in more complicated integrands than those in [6], by also using the Beta function.

  • A new feedback control law design techniqed usign of-off thrusters for the rotational maneuver of a flexible arm is discussed in this study. a two state on-off thruster actuator is taken as a primary actuation device for theis study. The on-off thruster operation is emulated in conjunction with the conventioal minimum-time trackig control law. The actuator input region is divided into two separate parts ; one is constant input and the other is time varying tegion. the new control law has potential applicatioin for the relatively low frequency structure such as large flexible space structure being currently used in various space echnology areas.

  • This paper presents the conversion speed drive of the cooling tower fans from constant to variable speed. The speed of fan is adjusted using variable speed drives. Since the ambient temperature of cooling tower is varied seasonally, an economic evaluation was performed to determine the potential annual savings. The performances of the proposed technique were observed using cooling tower fans of chemical plant in Thailand as an illustrative case study. The experimental results demonstrating the energy savings fork cooling process and some economic benefits are obtained.

  • Pressure tensors at the planar surface of liquid-vapor argon are evaluated from the virial theorem, Irving-Kirkwood, and Harasima versions using a test-area molecular dynamics simulation method through a Lennard-Jones intermolecular potential at two temperatures. We found that the normal and transverse components of the pressure tensor, $p_N(z)$ and $p_T(z)$, obtained from the virial theorem and Harasima version are essentially the same. The normal component of the pressure tensor from Irving-Kirkwood version, $p_N^{IK}(z)$, is shown to be a nearly constant at the lower temperature, independent of z, as agreed in a previous study, but not for $p_N^H$(z), while the transverse components, $p_T^{IK}(z)$ and $p_T^H(z)$, are almost the same. The values of surface tension for both versions computed from $p_N(z)-p_T(z)$ are also the same and are fully consistent with the experimental data.

  • Geometry relaxation effects on the formation of benzene excimer were investigated by means of ab initio calculation at SOS-CIS($D_0$)/aug-cc-pVDZ level. In the case of T-shaped dimer configuration, intermolecular interactions in the excited states are found to be nearly the same as those in the ground state and structural deformations are limited within a single molecule; the geometry relaxation effects are then negligible and singlet-triplet energy gap remains constant. As for face-to-face eclipsed dimer, on the other hand, both molecules undergo structural change. As a result, intermolecular interactions in the excited states are significantly different than those in the ground state. Although the intermolecular distances obtained from potential energy curve calculation with frozen molecular structures are in qualitative agreement, the excited-state binding energies are notably overestimated with respect to those at optimized structures. In particular, the effects are calculated to be larger in $T_1$ state and hence singlet-triplet energy gap, which reduces markedly in this configuration, is underestimated without relaxation.

  • Recent progress in development of CMOS power amplifiers for mobile terminals is reviewed, focusing first on switching mode power amplifiers, which are used for transmitters with constant envelope modulation and polar transmitters. Then, various transmission line transformers are evaluated. Finally, linear power amplifiers, and linearization techniques, are discussed. Although CMOS devices are less linear than other devices, additional functions can be easily integrated with CMOS power amplifiersin the same IC. Therefore, CMOS power amplifiers are expected to have potential applications after various linearity and efficiency enhancement techniques are used.

  • In this study, $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ glass system, which was expected to have similar properties with PbO containing glass system, was selected as a PbO replaceable potential composition because the atomic weight and ionic radius of Bi is similar to those of Pb. Glasses with different modifier/former ratio were prepared by melting the raw ingredient mixtures in $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-ZnO$ system, and the thermal and electrical properties of the sintered samples were examined. The glass transition temperatures and the dielectric constant of the glass pellets were between 350 $^{\circ}C{\sim}$500 $^{\circ}C$ and 15-35, respectively.

  • The solution structure of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor(BPTI) has been refined by NMR chemical shift data of C${\alpha}$H using classical molecular dynamics simulation. The structure dependent part of the observable chemical shift was modeled by ring current effect, magnetic anisotropy effect from the nearby groups, whereas the structure independent part was replaced with the random coil shift. A new harmonic function derived from the differences between the observed and calculated chemical shifts was added into physical force field as an pseudo potential energy term with force constant of 250 kJmol-1 ppm-2. During the 1.5 ns molecular dynamics simulation with chemical shift restraints BPTI has accessed different conformation space compared to crystal and NOE driven structure.
