The substituent effects on the pyridinolysis (XC5H4N) of Y-aryl ethyl chlorophosphates are investigated in acetonitrile at $35.0^{\circ}C$. The two strong ${\pi}$-acceptor substituents, X = 4-Ac and 4-CN in the X-pyridines, exhibit large positive deviations from the Hammett plots but little positive deviations from the Br$\ddot{o}$nsted plots. The substituent Y effects on the rates are really significant and the Hammett plots for substituent Y variations in the substrates invariably change from biphasic concave downwards via isokinetic at X = H to biphasic concave upwards with a break point at Y = 3-Me as the pyridine becomes less basic. These are interpreted to indicate a mechanistic change at the break point from a stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting bond formation (${\rho}_{XY}$ = -6.26) for Y = (4-MeO, 4-Me, 3-Me) to with a rate-limiting leaving group expulsion from the intermediate (${\rho}_{XY}$ = +5.47) for Y = (4-Me, H, 3-MeO). The exceptionally large magnitudes of ${\rho}_{XY}$ values imply frontside nucleophilic attack transition state.

Advanced processes such as ozonation or activated carbon filtration (ACF) in water treatment plants have been used in Korea since 1994. At present, seventeen drinking water treatment plants are currently operating. This survey compares the treatment performance of advanced processes in eight plants which have comparable water quality data. The three parameters (DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption) of water quality were selected as an indicator of treatment efficiency. The treatment efficiency of ozonation and ACF processes was found to vary with large deviations in each plant. Treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption by post ozonation ranged from 3 to 11%, 6 to 33%, and 12 to 28% respectively. On the other hand, for ACF, treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption ranged from 7 to 38%, 8 to 48%, and 16 to 66% respectively. These large deviations indicate the advanced processes of water treatment plants to be further optimized.

Approximations inherent in the Cohn synthesis theory, which is generally perferree as a convinient design technique for direct-couple waveguide filter, results in considerable devications from the required responses as the design bandwidth increases. In this paper, two main deviations likely to occur in practice are examined using the mode-matching technique. They are a shift in couoff frquencies and large return loss occuring near coutoff frequencyles. Using the power loss ratio, the first effect is corrected to the resulant filter structure from cohn synthesis. In order to show the validity of the intorduced approackes. Ka-band waveguide filter ahs been designed and manufactored. The experimental curve follow the expected curves after corrections fairly closly.

The large deflection theory of the Mindlin plate and Galerkin's method are employed to examine the static responses of a plate produced by the weight of the plate, and the dynamic responses of the plate caused by the coupling effect of these static responses with a set of moving forces. Results obtained by the large deflection theory are compared with those by the small deflection theory. The results indicate that the effect of weight of the plate increases the modal frequencies of the structure. The deviations of dynamic transverse deflection and of dynamic bending moment produced by a moving concentrated force between the two theories are significant for a thin plate with a large area. Both dynamic transverse deflection and dynamic bending moment obtained by the Mindlin plate theory are greater than those by the classical plate.

Large field spectrographs are severely influenced by atmospheric refraction. LAMOST is a large field multi-object spectroscopy telescope with $5^{\circ}$ field of view, f/5 focus ratio and 20m focal length. There will be 4000 fibers simultaneous on it's $\phi$1.75m focal plane. Here we discuss the atmospheric refraction effects on LAMOST in two hands. One is the effect of differential refraction across the field, another is the effect of atmospheric dispersion. According to the calculation, we find that: 1. The largest deviation from center within the field is 4.;32" during a 1.5-hour integration at $80^{\circ}$ declination. 2. The directions of deviation are complex, so the deviations can't be decreased by rotating the field. We also give out the atmospheric dispersions.

This paper develops a design methodology of a decentralized fuzzy load-frequency controller for a large-scale nonlinear power system with valve position limits on governors. The concerned system is locally exactly modeled in Takagi-Sugeno's form. Sufficient design condition for uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system is derived based on the overlapping decomposition. Convergence of all incremental frequency deviations to zero is also investigated. A simulation result is provided to visualize the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

We construct bootstrap confidence intervals for reliability, R= P{X>Y}, where X and Y are independent normal random variables. One way ANOVA random effect models are assumed for the populations of X and Y, where standard deviations $\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ are unequal. We investigate the accuracy of the proposed bootstrap confidence intervals and classical confidence intervals work better than classical confidence interval for small sample and/or large value of R.

The reliability analysis of structures subjected to stochastic loading involves evaluation of time and probability of the system's residence in a reference domain. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic estimate of exit time for multi-degrees-of-freedom structural systems. The system's dynamics is governed by the Lagrangian equations with linear dissipation and fast additive noise. The logarithmic asymptotic of exit time is found explicitly as a sum of two terms dependent on kinetic and potential energy of the system, respectively. As an example, we estimate exit time and an associated structural performance for a rocking structure.

A Photovoltaic (PV) system's power output varies with the change of climate. Frequency deviations, tie line voltage swings are caused by the varying PV power when large PV power from several PV systems is fed in the utility. In this paper, to overcome these problems, a simple coordinated control method for smoothing the variations of combined PV power from multiple PV systems is proposed. Here, output power command is formed in two steps: central and local. Fuzzy control is used to produce the central smoothing output power command considering insolation, variance of insolation and absolute average of frequency deviation. In local step, a simple coordination is kept between the central power command and the local power commands by producing a common tuning factor. Power converters are used to achieve the same output power as local command power employing PI control law for each of the PV generation systems. The proposed method is compared with the method where conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control is used for each of the PV systems. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for smoothing the output power variations and feasible to reduce the frequency deviations of the power utility.

Characteristic parameter values of seismic isolators deviate from their nominal design values due to uncertainties and/or errors in their material properties and element dimensions, etc. Deviations may increase over service life due to environmental effects and service conditions. For accurate evaluation of the seismic safety level, all such effects, which would result in deviations in the structural response, need to be taken into account. In this study, the sensitivity of the probability of failure of the structures equipped with nonlinear base isolation systems to the uncertainties in various isolation system characteristic parameters is investigated in terms of various isolation system and superstructure response parameters in the context of a realistic three-dimensional base-isolated building model via Monte Carlo Simulations. The inherent record-to-record variability nature of the earthquake ground motions is also taken into account by carrying out analyses for a large number of ground motion records which are classified as those with and without forward-directivity effects. Two levels of nominal isolation periods each with three different levels of uncertainty are considered. Comparative plots of cumulative distribution functions and related statistical evaluation presented here portray the potential extent of the deviation of the structural response parameters resulting from the uncertainties and the uncertainty levels considered, which is expected to be useful for practicing engineers in evaluating isolator test results for their projects.
