The wind and wind-induced dynamic wind pressures fluctuate irregularly according to time and space. In this study, the proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) technique is applied to wind pressures acting on a tall tower model, and the following results are found: the along-wind and across-wind forces can be reconstructed by only four dominant POD modes, and the reconstructed errors are 4.71% and 22%, respectively for across-wind and along-wind directions. The physical meanings for dominant modes are also presented in the paper. The POD analysis can compress complex wind pressure data only by a few dominant modes and interpret spatio-temporal characteristics of wind pressure by novel way while existing statistical methods do not have such benefits.

Nanosized titania sol has been produced by the controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP) in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate(AOT) reverse micelles. The physical properties, such as crystallite size and crystallinity according to R ratio have been investigated by FT-IR, XRD and UV-DRS. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of bromate has been studied by using batch reactor in the presence of UV light in order to compare the photocatalytic activity of prepared nanosized titania. It is shown that the anatase structure appears in the 300~$600^{\circ}C$ calcination temperature range and the formation of anatase into rutile starts above $700^{\circ}C$. The crystallite size increases with increasing R ratio. In the photocatalytic degradation of bromate, the photocatalytic decomposition of bromate shows the decomposition rate increases with decreasing initial concentration of bromate and with increasing intensity of light.

Characteristics of secondary vortices is topologically investigated in the near-wake region of a circular cylinder where the Taylor hypothesis does not hold. The three-dimensional flow fields in the wake-transition regime were measured by a time-resolved PIV. For the analysis in a moving frame of reference, the convection velocity of the Karman vortices is evaluated from the trajectory of vortex center which is defined as the centroid of the vorticity field. Then, a saddle point is obtained by applying the critical point theory. Science the distributions of fluctuating Reynolds stresses defined by triple-decomposition are closely related with the existence of secondary vortices. the physical meaning of them is explained in conjunction with vortex center and saddle point trajectories. Finally, the temporal evolution of streamwise vortex is also discussed.

We have studied a method for the preparation of hybrid $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes involving pitch coating, pitch binding and the penetration of titanium n-butoxide(TNB) solution with porous carbon. The photocatalysts were investigated with surface textural properties and SEM morphology, structural crystallinity and elemental identification between porous carbon and $TiO_2$, and dye decomposition performance. For the all $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes prepared by some kinds of different methods, the excellent photocatalytic effect for dye degradation should be attributed to the both effects between photo-decomposition of the supported $TiO_2$ and adsorptivity of the porous carbons.

For generally damped linear systems with repeated eigenvalues and defective eigenvectors, this study provides a decomposition method based on residue matrix, which is suitable for engineering applications. Based on this method, a hybrid approach is presented, incorporating the merits of the modal superposition method and the residue matrix decomposition method, which does not need to consider the defective characteristics of the eigenvectors corresponding to repeated eigenvalues. The method derived in this study has clear physical concepts and is easily to be understood and mastered by engineering designers. Furthermore, this study analyzes the applicability of step-by-step methods, including the Newmark beta and Runge-Kutta methods for dynamic response calculation of defective systems. Finally, the implementation procedure of the proposed hybrid approach is illustrated by analyzing numerical examples, and the correctness and the effectiveness of the formula are judged by comparing the results obtained from the different methods.

State varibles were estimated for fermentations of K. marxianus under various dilution rates and dissolved oxygen concentrations. The number of elementary reaction stoichiometry with fixed coefficients was determined by singular variable decomposition. Stoichiometry with feasible physical meaning was obtained by target factor analysis. States of fermentations were estimated by linear quadratic programming. The process conditions of single cell production to maximize carbon source consumption were suggested.

A rank 1 matrix has a factorization as $uv^t$ for vectors u and v of some orders. The arctic rank of a rank 1 matrix is the half number of nonzero entries in u and v. A matrix of rank k can be expressed as the sum of k rank 1 matrices, a rank 1 decomposition. The arctic rank of a matrix A of rank k is the minimum of the sums of arctic ranks of the rank 1 matrices over all rank 1 decomposition of A. In this paper we obtain characterizations of the linear operators that strongly preserve the symmetric arctic ranks of symmetric matrices over nonnegative reals.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and solvent swelling technique have been applied for identifying physical transition temperatures in the macromolecular structure of coals. The transition processes seem to be associated with physical relaxation of the coal structure and are irreversible processes. In Pittsburgh No. 8 high volatile bituminous (hvb) coat one physical transition was noted at 250-30$0^{\circ}C$ (at 8$^{\circ}C$/min) without any significant accompanying weight loss. Coals of higher rank than high volatile bituminous, i.e., Upper Freeport medium volatile bituminous (mvb) and Pocahontas No.3 low volatile bituminous (lvb) coals, exhibit structural relaxation just before the major thermal decomposition process and a sharp increase in solvent swellability accompanies this relaxation. In the case of both the Pittsburgh No.8 and the Upper Freeport coat structural relaxations at around 36$0^{\circ}C$ seem to coincide with release of "guest molecules".les".uot;.

In this study, a polyhedral domain decomposition method for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) analysis is introduced. SPH which is one of meshless methods is a numerical analysis method for fluid flow simulation. It can be useful for analyzing fluidic soil or fluid-structure interaction problems. SPH is a particle-based method, where increased particle count generally improves accuracy but diminishes numerical efficiency. To enhance numerical efficiency, parallel processing algorithms are commonly employed with the Cartesian coordinate-based domain decomposition method. However, for parallel analysis of complex geometric shapes or fluidic problems under dynamic boundary conditions, the Cartesian coordinate-based domain decomposition method may not be suitable. The introduced polyhedral domain decomposition technique offers advantages in enhancing parallel efficiency in such problems. It allows partitioning into various forms of 3D polyhedral elements to better fit the problem. Physical properties of SPH particles are calculated using information from neighboring particles within the smoothing length. Methods for sharing particle information physically separable at partitioning and sharing information at cross-points where parallel efficiency might diminish are presented. Through numerical analysis examples, the proposed method's parallel efficiency approached 95% for up to 12 cores. However, as the number of cores is increased, parallel efficiency is decreased due to increased information sharing among cores.

The computational cost of clothing simulation and rendering is mainly depends on the type of mesh and its quality. Thus, quadrilateral meshes are generally preferred over triangular meshes for the reasons of accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents a method of quadrangulating sewing pattern based on the recursive geometry decomposition method. Herein, we proposed two simple improvements to the previous algorithms. The first one deals with the recursive geometry decomposition in which the physical domain is decomposed into simple and mappable regions. The second proposed algorithm deals with the vertex validation in which the invalid vertex classification can be validated.
