In this study, for estimating responses of a controlled structure and determining the maximum control force of velocity-dependent damping devices, three estimation models such as Fourier envelope convex model, probability model, and Newmark design spectrum are used. For this purpose, a procedure proposed by Gupta (1990) for estimating spectral velocity using pseudo-spectral velocity which is given by the estimation models is used and modified to consider the effects of increased damping ratio by the damping device. Time history results indicate that Newmark design spectrum gives the best estimation of maximum control force for over all period structures.

Although the fuzzy logic controller is superior to the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller in motor control, the gain tuning of the fuzzy logic controller is more complicated than that of the PID controller. Using mathematical analysis of the proportional derivative (PD) and fuzzy logic controller, this study proposed a design method of a fuzzy logic controller that has the same characteristics as the PD controller in the beginning. Then a design method of a fuzzy logic controller was proposed that has superior performance to the PD controller. This fuzzy logic controller was designed by changing the envelope of the input of the of the fuzzy logic controller to nonlinear, because the fuzzy logic controller has more degree of freedom to select the control gain than the PD controller. By designing the fuzzy logic controller using the proposed method, it simplified the design of fuzzy logic controller, and it simplified the comparison of these two controllers.

This paper investigates the safety of the wind turbine blade against excessive deformation. For this purpose, the performance of the blade in the along-wind direction is improved by longitudinal stiffener made of shape memory alloy. The rationale behind the selection of this smart material is due to its ability to offer excellent thermo-mechanical behaviour at low strain. Here, Liang-Roger model is adopted for vibration control, and the super-elastic effects are utilised for blade stiffening. Turbulent wind fields are generated at the hub height using TurbSim and the corresponding loads are evaluated using blade element momentum theory. An efficient switching algorithm is developed along with performance curves that enable the designer to select an optimal mode of heating depending upon the operational scenario. Numerical results presented in this paper clearly demonstrate the performance envelope of the proposed stiffener and its influence on the reliability of the blade.

Purpose: The development and study of hepatitis C virus (HCV) vaccine candidates' individualized responses are of great importance. Here we report on an HCV DNA vaccine candidate based on selected envelope (E1/E2) epitopes. Besides, we assessed its expression and processing in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in vivo cellular response in mice. Materials and Methods: HCV E1/E2 DNA construct (EC) was designed. The antigen expression of EC was assayed in PBMCs of five HCV-uninfected donors via a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Serum samples from 20 HCV antibody-positive patients were used to detect each individual PBMCs expressed antigens via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Two groups, five Swiss albino mice each, were immunized with the EC or a control construct. The absolute count of lymph nodes' CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-lymphocytes was assessed. Results: Donors' PBMCs showed different levels of EC expression, ranging between 0.83-2.61-fold in four donors, while donor-3 showed 34.53-fold expression. The antigens expressed in PBMCs were significantly reactive to the 20 HCV antibody repertoire (all p=0.0001). All showed comparable reactivity except for donor-3 showing the lowest reactivity level. The absolute count % of the CD4⁺ T-cell significantly increased in four of the five EC-immunized mice compared to the control group (p=0.03). No significant difference in CD8⁺ T-cells % was observed (p=0.89). Conclusion: The inter-individual variation in antigen expression and processing dominance was evident, showing independence in individuals' antigen expression and reactivity levels to antibodies. The described vaccine candidate might result in a promising natural immune response with a possibility of CD4⁺ T-cell early priming.

본 논문에서는 1:2:2의 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기의 동작을 살펴보고, Freescale사의 4 W, 10 W LDMOSFET을 이용하여 1 GHz에서 구현하였다. 두 번의 최대 효율 특성을 갖는 N-way 도허티 전력 증폭기와 비교 하였을 때, 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기는 세 번의 최대 효율 특성을 갖도록 함으로써 백 오프된 출력 전력영역에서의 심각한 효율 저하를 극복할 수 있고, 주어진 변조 신호에서의 평균 효율을 최대화 할 수 있다. 효율 특성을 더욱 최적화하기 위해, 역 F급 전력 증폭기를 캐리어 및 피킹 전력 증폭기로 설계하였다. 또한, 적절한 로드모듈레이션 동작을 이끌어내기 위해, 포락선 추적 방법에 근거한 적응 게이트 바이어스 조절 신호를 두 개의 피킹 전력 증폭기에 인가하였다. 8.5 dB의 PAPR을 갖는 802.16e Mobile WiMAX 신호에 대해 제안된 비대칭 도허티 전력 증폭기는 36.85 dBm에서 55.46 %의 높은 효율 특성을 얻었고, -37.23 dB의 우수한 RCE 특성을 유지하였다. 본 논문에서는 처음으로 포화 증폭기와 적응 게이트 바이어스 조절 신호를 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기에 적용하였으며, 이를 통해 기지국용 고효율 전력 송신기의 설계가 구현 가능함을 성공적으로 검증하였다.

흰쥐 난자의 체외수정에 있어서 calcium chelator처리에 따른 피질반응 및 피질과립막의 형성 여부와 피질과립막의 전자현미경적 미세구조를 관찰하고, 수정율 및 단정자수정과 다정자수정 빈도에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 수정기간중 calcium의 역할을 조사하였다. Calcium chelator로는 BAPTA/AM을 사용하였으며, 난자의 미세구조와 피질과립막은 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 투명대가 제거된 난자의 체외수정 과정에서는 피질반응에 의해 형성된 피질과립막 (cortical granule envelope)이 관찰되었고, calcium chelator (1, 5, 10, $\mu$M BAPTA/AM) 처리후 투명대가 제거 된 난자의 체외수정 에서도 마찬가지로 피질과립막이 관찰되었다. 또한 체외 수정 후 시간의 경과에 따라 피질과립막은 좀 더 발달되는 양상을 나타내었다. 수정율은 calcium chelator 처리군 (59.8, 38.1, 37.0%)이 대조군 (60.6%)에 비해 감소했으나, 단정자수정은 calcium chelator 처리군 (45.0, 47.3, 50.9%)이 대조군 (37.5%)에 비해 증가하였다. 위의 결과들로부터 흰쥐에서 수정시 피질과립막이 형성된다는 것을 밝혔고, 피질반응에 extracellular calcium이 이용됨을 알 수 있다. 또한 난자내의 적정한 free calcium 함량이 수정에 중요한 요인으로 작용하는 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents an integrated roll-pitch-yaw autopilot using an equivalent based sliding mode control for skid-to-turn nonlinear time-varying missile system with lumped disturbances in its six-equations of motion. The considered missile model are developed to integrate the model uncertainties, external disturbances, and parameters perturbation as lumped disturbances. Moreover, it considers the coupling effect between channels, the variation of missile velocity and parameters, and the aerodynamics nonlinearity. The presented approach is employed to achieve a good tracking performance with robustness in all missile channels simultaneously during the entire flight envelope without demand of accurate modeling or output derivative to avoid the noise existence in the real missile system. The proposed autopilot consisting of a two-loop structure, controls pitch and yaw accelerations, and stabilizes the roll angle simultaneously. The Closed loop stability is studied. Numerical simulation is provided to evaluate performance of the suggested autopilot and to compare it with an existing autopilot in the literature concerning the robustness against the lumped disturbances, and the aforesaid considerations. Finally, the proposed autopilot is integrated in a six degree of freedom flight simulation model to evaluate it with several target scenarios, and the results are shown.

Supercavitation is a modern technique which can be used to surround an underwater vehicle with a bubble in order to reduce the resistance of the vehicle. When the vehicle is at low speed in the deep sea, the cavitation number is relatively big and it is difficult to generate a cavity large enough to envelope the vehicle. In this condition, the artificial cavity, called ventilated cavity, can be used to solve this problem by supplying gas into the cavity and can maintain supercavitating condition. In this paper, a relationship between the ventilation gas supply rate and the cavity shape is determined. Based on the relationship a ventilation rate control is developed to maintain the supercavitating state. The performance of the ventilation control is verified with a depth change control. In addition, dynamics modeling for the supercavitating vehicle is performed by defining forces and moments acting on the vehicle body in contact with water. Simulation results show that the ventilation control can maintain the supercavity of an underwater vehicle at low speed in the deep sea.

This study examines the influence of control algorithms on dimming performance to determine appropriate control setting when direct/indirect lighting is controlled by a daylight dimming system. Computer simulation were performed for a small office with double skin envelope under various daylight conditions. A retractable fabric shading and Venetian blind were applied for internal and external envelopes under three CIE standard sky conditions. Unshielded and partially-shielded photosensors were used, and three control algorithms were applied for the sensors. In general, dimming level was too excessive due to the direct impact of light from lighting fixture to the photosensor. Providing insufficient lighting output, the unshielded photosensor completely failed to secure required illuminance under any daylight condition. When a partially-shielded photosensor was applied under clear sky, three setting points functioned effectively. Less sensitivity for the partially-shielded photosensor was effective to control the dimming system optimally with reasonable energy saving. However, the daylight dimming control system for direct/indirect lighting does not appear to be energy effective when photosensors without enough shielded area is installed on ceiling where light from fixtures reaches directly.
