The aim of this work is to prepare a neutron noise calculator based on the second order of average current nodal expansion method (ACNEM). Generally, nodal methods have the ability to fulfill the neutronic analysis with adequate precision using coarse meshes as large as a fuel assembly size. But, for the zeroth order of ACNEM, the accuracy of neutronic simulations may not be sufficient when coarse meshes are employed in the reactor core modeling. In this work, the capability of second order ACNEM is extended for solving the neutron diffusion equation in the frequency domain using coarse meshes. For this purpose, two problems are modeled and checked including a slab reactor and 2D BIBLIS PWR. For validating of results, a semi-analytical solution is utilized for 1D test case, and for 2D problem, the results of both forward and adjoint neutron noise calculations are exploited. Numerical results indicate that by increasing the order of method, the errors of frequency dependent coarse mesh solutions are considerably decreased in comparison to the reference. Accordingly, the accuracy of second order ACNEM can be acceptable for the neutron noise calculations by using coarse meshes in the nuclear reactor core.

This paper provides an identification method for three-parameter models i.e. first order with dead time models and second order with dead time models. The proposed identification method is based on step response and can be easily implemented using digital microprocessors. The proposed method first identifies the order of the plant i.e. first order or second order from the behavior of the plant with constant input. After the order of the plant is determined, a test step input is applied to the system and the three parameters of the plant are obtained from the corresponding response of the plant. The output of the plant need not to be zero when the test signal is applied. The efficacy of proposed algorithms is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper presents some of the efforts by the authors towards numerical prediction of springing of ships. A time-domain Higher Order Boundary Element Method (HOBEM) based on cubic shape function is first presented to solve a complete second-order problem in terms of wave steepness and ship motions in a consistent manner. In order to avoid high order derivatives on the body surfaces, e.g. mj-terms, a new formulation of the Boundary Value Problem in a body-fixed coordinate system has been proposed instead of traditional formulation in inertial coordinate system. The local steady flow effects on the unsteady waves are taken into account. Double-body flow is used as the basis flow which is an appropriate approximation for ships with moderate forward speed. This numerical model was used to estimate the complete second order wave excitation of springing of a displacement ship at constant forward speeds.

본 논문에서는 RF초음파 신호의 포락선 검출을 위하여 제안된 다차 샘플링 방법의 성능을 실험데이터를 이용하여 Quadrature 샘플링 및 2차 샘플링 방법과 비교하였다. Quadrature 샘플링의 결과 영상과 비교해볼 때 2차 샘플링의 결과 영상은 많은 오차를 보이고 있다. 그러나 다차 샘플링 결과, 특히 5차 샘플링 결과는 매우 우수한 포락선 검출 결과를 보여주고 있다. 이러한 다차 샘플링 방법을 사용하면 보다 경제적이고 우수한 성능의 디지털 빔포밍 시스템의 구현이 가능하다.

Recently power attacks on RSA cryptosystems have been widely investigated, and various countermeasures have been proposed. One of the most efficient and secure countermeasures is the message blinding method, which includes the RSA derivative of the binary-with-random-initial-point algorithm on elliptical curve cryptosystems. It is known to be secure against first-order differential power analysis (DPA); however, it is susceptible to second-order DPA. Although second-order DPA gives some solutions for defeating message blinding methods, this kind of attack still has the practical difficulty of how to find the points of interest, that is, the exact moments when intermediate values are being manipulated. In this paper, we propose a practical second-order correlation power analysis (SOCPA). Our attack can easily find points of interest in a power trace and find the private key with a small number of power traces. We also propose an efficient countermeasure which is secure against the proposed SOCPA as well as existing power attacks.

The reactions of triplet oxygen atom with halomethanes as a potential fire extinguisher were studied by a discharge flow-chemiluminescence imaging method. The experiments were carried out under second order conditions. The bimolecular atom-molecule reaction rate constants were determined in terms of the initial rate method. The initial concentration of oxygen atom was also determined under second order rate law instead of the pseudo-first order conditions with $[O(^3P)]_0{\ll}[sample]_0$. The second order conditions were more reliable than pseudo-first order conditions for the determinations of rate constants. The rate constants of the reactions $CF_3I\;+\;O(^3P)$, $CH_3PI\;+\'O(^3P)$, and $CHBrCl_2\;+\;O(^3P)$ were determined to be $5.0\;{\times}\;10^{-12}$ , $1.1\;×\;0^{-11}$ , and $1.9\;{\times}\;10^{-14}cm^3molecule^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively.

In this paper, a new method of modified second order slope rotatable designs (SOSRD) using balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD) for $4{\le}v{\le}16$ is presented. In this method the number of design points required is in some cases less than the number required in Victorbabu (2305) modified slope rotatable central composite designs. Further, a new method of construction of three level modified SOSRD using BIBD is presented. The modified SOSRD can be viewed as SOSRD constructed with the technique of augmentation of second order rotatable design (SORD) using BIBD to SOSRD. These designs are useful in parts to estimate responses and slopes with spherical variance functions.

We present a physics-based blending method for the second order algebraic implicit surface. Unlike other traditional blending techniques, the proposed method avoids complex mathematical operations and unwanted artifacts like bulge, which have highly limited the application of the second order algebraic implicit surface as a modeling primitive in spite of lots of its excellent properties. Instead, the proposed method provides the designer with flexibility to control the shapes of the blending surface on interactive basis; the designer can check and design the shape of blending surfaces accurately by simply adjusting several physics parameter in real time, which was impossible in the traditional blending methods. In the later parts of this paper, several results are also presented.

The aim of this paper is to design a speed controller of a DC motor by selection of a PID parameters using genetic algorithm. The model of a DC motor is considered as a typical non-oscillatory, second-order system, And this paper compares three kinds of tuning methods of parameter for PID controller. One is the controller design by the genetic algorithm. second is the controller design by the model matching method third is the controller design by Ziegler and Nichols method. It was found that the proposed PID parameters adjustment by the genetic algorithm is better than the Ziegler & Nickels' method. And also found that the results of the method by the genetic algorithm is nearly same as the model matching method which is analytical method. The proposed method could be applied to the higher order system which is not easy to use the model matching method.
