  • Over the years, there has been much research conducted on quadratic curves and the set of points with the generalized notion of eccentricity in a plane with metrics such as taxicab distance or Chinese-checker distance. On the other hand, polar taxicab distance has been newly proposed on the polar coordinate system, a type of curvilinear coordinate system, to overcome the limitation of pre-existing metrics in terms of describing curved routes. Previous study has looked into the fundamental properties of this metric. From this point of view, we study the quadratic curves and the set of points with the generalized notion of eccentricity in a plane with polar taxicab distance.

  • The discharge characteristics of He-Ne-Xe gas mixture with the variation of Xe content are investigated through the numerical simulation. VUV efficacy in the gas condition of low Xe content increases due to more excitation and the case of high Xe content shows the improvement of VUV efficacy with the increase of He content but decreased VUV efficacy after tthe He mixing ratio of He and Ne is 0.5 due to frequent ionization.

  • This paper presents a two-paralleled 4 quadrant DC chopper type PWM power conversion circuit in order to generate a gradient magnetic field in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. This power amplifier is connected in parallel with the conventional 4-quadrant DC chopper using IGBTs at their inputs/outputs to realize further high-power density, high speed current tracking control, and to get a low switching ripple amplitude in a controlled current in the Gradient Coils (GCs). Moreover, the power conversion circuit has to realize quick rise/fall response characteristics in proportion to various target currents in GCs. It is proposed in this paper that a unique control scheme can achieve the above objective. DSP-based control systems realize a high control facility and accuracy. It is proved that the new control system will greatly enlarge the diagnostic target and improve the image quality of MRI.

  • Single phase converters suffer from ripple power pulsating at twice the line frequency. The ripple power is usually absorbed by a bulky capacitor bank and/or a dedicative LC resonant link, resulting in a low power density and a high cost. An alternative solution is using a dc link active power filter (APF) to direct the pulsating power into another energy-storage component. The main dc link filter capacitor can then be reduced substantially. Based on a mainstream dc APF topology, this paper proposed a new control strategy incorporating both dual-loop control and repetitive control. The circuit parameter design is also re-examined from a control point of view. The proposed APF scheme has better control performance, and is more suited for high power applications since it works in CCM and with a low switching frequency.

  • The effect of exogenous oxygen on hydrogen photoproduction was examined in the synchronously grown cells of marine Synechococcus sp. Miami BG 043511 under conditions of high cell density (0.6-0.8 mg chl-${\alpha}$ $ml^{-1}$) and high light intensity (1000 ${\mu}$E $m^{-2}$ $s^{-1}$). Hydrogen evolution after 20-h incubation did not decline under the initial oxygen concentrations up to 20%, but declined by half under 34% oxygen. 50% and 100% oxygen gas phase did not completely inhibit the hydrogen photoproduction during 40-h incubations. After 2-day pretreatment under 100% exogenous oxygen the hydrogen photoproduction capabilities were not irreversibly inhibited, which was demonstrated in the subsequent 9-day incubation under initial 0, 50 and even under 100% oxygen gas phase. This strain could be useful for developing a hydrogen photoproduction system under atmospheric oxygen concentration.

  • We fabricated prototype cantilevers for mechanically detected high-frequency ESR measurement. Cantilevers are fabricated from silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using standard MEMS techniques such as lithography, wet etching, and plasma etching. Using commercial SOI wafers, fabrication cost and the number of processes can be substantially reduced. In this study, three types of cantilevers, designed for capacitive and optical detection, are shown. Capacitive type with lateral dimensions of $3.5{\times}1.6mm^2$ is aimed for low spin concentration sample. On the other hand, optical detection type with lateral dimensions of $50{\times}200{\mu}m^2$ is developed for high-sensitive detection of tiny samples such as newly synthesized microcrystals.

  • Recently, many more fisheries and shipping high school students have entered college than those of the past. But, this trend could be attributed to the easy and various forms of selection for college admission. Thus the examinations of the college scholastic ability 2005 have added to the vocational search ability including verbal ability, mathematic ability, foreign language ability and inquiry ability. The vocational search ability in fisheries and shipping field is concluded the general fisheries science, general maritime science, general marine science and fisheries and shipping information management. This study analyzed the questions of the fisheries and shipping subject of vocational search field with high school 2nd students on October 2003. In result, this study identified some needed basic scholastic ability for fisheries and shipping high school students.

  • The synthesis of nano-size ($Y_{0.955}Eu_{0.1}$)($P_{0.7}V_{0.45}$)$O_4$ red phosphors were conducted by using a Liquid Phase Precursor (LPP) method. In this method, cellulose pulp was used as a template showing the micro fibre structures to obtain the nano size YPV red phosphor. Aqueous solutions of raw materials were impregnated into cellulose pulp and subsequently impregnated pulp was dried and fired at $800-1200^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The effect of luminescence properties on compositions and temperatures was evaluated with photoluminescence spectrum, X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM, and TEM. High efficiency (~110%) of phosphor of size of ~500nm fired at $1150^{\circ}C$ was obtained compared with the micro size of commercial product. High efficiency behaviors of nano size phosphors were discussed in this paper.

  • The purpose of this paper is to derive powers $A^{n}$ using a system of recursive sequences for a given $2{\times}2$ matrix A. Introducing a recursive sequence we have a quadratic equation. Solutions to this quadratic equation are related with eigenvalues of A. By solving this quadratic equation we can easily obtain an explicit form of $A^{n}$. Our method holds when A is defined not only on the real field but also on the complex field.

  • The consolidation results of fine tungsten powders, W-Cu composite and W/Cu FGM by using a novel method combining resistance sintering with ultra high pressure have been reviewed. The densification effects of the consolidation parameters, including pressure, input power and sintering time, have been investigated. The sintering mechanism of this method was quite different from other sintering methods. Particle rearrangement, sliding, distortion and crushing due to the ultra high pressure are the dominant mehanisms at the initial stage, then the dominant sintering mechanisms are transient arc-fused processes controlled by the input power.
