In this paper, the thermo-mechanical buckling characteristics of functionally graded (FG) size-dependent Timoshenko nanobeams subjected to an in-plane thermal loading are investigated by presenting a Navier type solution for the first time. Material properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to vary continuously along the thickness according to the power-law form and the material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent. The small scale effect is taken into consideration based on nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. The nonlocal governing equations are derived based on Timoshenko beam theory through Hamilton's principle and they are solved applying analytical solution. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate critical buckling temperature results of the FG nanobeams as compared to some cases in the literature. The detailed mathematical derivations are presented and numerical investigations are performed while the emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of the several parameters such as material distribution profile, small scale effects and aspect ratio on the critical buckling temperature of the FG nanobeams in detail. It is explicitly shown that the thermal buckling of a FG nanobeams is significantly influenced by these effects. Numerical results are presented to serve as benchmarks for future analyses of FG nanobeams.

Conventional fabrics that have modified in to conductive fabrics using conductive nanomaterials have novel applications in different fields. These of fabrics can be used as heat generators with the help of the Joule heating mechanism, which is applicable in thermal therapy and to maintain the warmth in cold weather conditions in a wearable manner. A modified fabric can also be used as a sensor for body temperature measurements using the variation of resistance with respect to the body temperature deviations. In this study, polyol synthesized silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are incorporated to commercially available cotton fabrics by using drop casting method to modify the fabric as a thermogenic temperature sensor. The variation of sheet resistance of the fabrics with respect to the incorporated mass of Ag NWs was measured by four probe technique while the bulk resistance variation with respect to the temperature was measured using a standard ohm meter. Heat generation profiles of the fabrics were investigated using thermo graphic camera. Electrically conductive fabrics, fabricated by incorporating 30 mg of Ag NWs in 25 ㎠ area of cotton fabric can be heated up to a maximum steady state temperature of 45℃, using a commercially available 9 V battery.

Physico-chemical changes of the plasma modified titanium alloy [Ti-6Al-4V] surface were studied with respect to their crystallographic changes by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).The plasma-treatment of surface was carried out to enhance adhesion of high performance nano reinforced epoxy adhesive, a phenomenon that was manifested in subsequent experimental results. The enhancement of adhesion as a consequence of improved spreading and wetting on metal surface was studied by contact angle (sessile drop method) and surface energy determination, which shows a distinct increase in polar component of surface energy. The synergism in bond strength was established by analyzing the lap-shear strength of titanium laminate. The extent of enhancement in thermal stability of the dispersed nanosilica particles reinforced epoxy adhesive was studied by Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), which shows an increase in onset of degradation and high amount of residuals at the high temperature range under study. The fractured surfaces of the joint were examined by Scanning electron microscope (SEM).

According the difference of flex substrate, (reel tape), there are three kind assembly types of LCD driver IC is COG, TCP and COF, respectively. The TCP is the maturest in these types for stability of raw material supply and other specification. And TCP is the major assembly type of LCD driver IC and the huge demand from Taiwan's large TFT LCD panel house since this spring. But due to its package structure and the raw material applied in this package, there is some limitation in fine pitch application of this package type, (TCP). So, COF will be very potential in compact and portable application comparison with TCP in the future. There are three kinds assembly methods in COF, one is ACF by using the anisotropic conductive film to connect the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, another is eutectic bonding by using the thermo-pressure to joint the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, and last is NCP by using non-conductive paste to adhere the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC. To have a global realization, this paper will briefly review the status of Taiwan's large TFT panel house, the internal driver IC design house, and the back-end assembly house in the beginning. The different material property of raw material, PI tape is also compared in the paper. The more detail of three kinds of COF assembly method will be described and compared in this paper.

Bacteria of the Bacillus sp. are well known to possess antagonistic activity against numerous plant pathogens. In the present study, 11 Bacillus sp. were isolated from the brackish environment and assayed for antagonistic activity under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Among the 11 isolates tested, 9 isolates effectively inhibited the growth of various plant pathogens, namely Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora citropthora, Phytophthora citricola, Phytophthora sojae, Colletotricum coccodes, Colletotricum gloeosporioides, Colletotricum acutatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani, Fusarium graminearum, Pyricularia sp. and Monilina sp. The effective isolates were further screened for Phytophthora blight suppression in Capsicum annuum L. under green house conditions. The isolate SB10 exhibited the maximum (72.2%) reduction in disease severity. The antifungal compounds from the isolate were isolated and characterized. The isolated compounds exhibited high thermo stability ($100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min). Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight investigation of the antifungal compounds revealed three lipopeptide complexes, the surfactins, the iturins, and the fengycins.

Steam ejector is a equipment which compresses the gases to desired discharge pressure. It is widely used for the evacuation systems because of its high working confidence. And recently it is used as the thermo-compressors in the various energy saving systems. Steam ejector is constructed of three basic parts; a suction chamber, a motive nozzle and a diffuser. The high velocity stream jet of steam emitted by the motive nozzle creats suction chamber, which draws the low pressure gases. The diffuser converts the kinetic energy of high velocity flow to pressure energy. It is not easy to determine the dimensions of a steam ejector met to the desired design condition, because that the expected suction rates must be obtained by reapeating the complicate calculation. And also such a calculation is concomitant with geometrical analysis for suction part and diffuser based on the stability of steam flow. Therefore, it is considered that the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of steam ejector is a powerful design method. In this paper, computer program for steam ejector design is developed based on the theoretical research and the previous experimental results. And the determinating method of diffuser inlet angle and the velocity development profile of suction gas along to the diffuser are suggested. The validity of the development profile of suction gas along to the diffuser are suggested. The validity of the developed computer results with other's for the practical design calculation of a manufactured steam ejector.

Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structure, energy wells, energy slab, and pavement heating and cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial long-term cost savings and minimized maintenance. This paper focuses on earth-contact concrete elements that are already required for structural reasons, but which simultaneously work as heat exchangers. Pipes, energy slabs, filled with a heat carrier fluid are installed under conventional structural elements, forming the primary circuit of a geothermal energy system. The natural ground temperature is used as a heat source in winter and heat sink in summer season. The system represented very high heating and cooling performance due to the stability of EWT from energy slab. Maximum heat pump unit COP and system COP were 4.9 and 4.3.

Effects of lignan compounds (sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin) extracted from roasted sesame oil on the autoxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and thermal oxidation at $180^{\circ}C$ for 10 hr of sunflower oil were studied by determining conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) contents, p-anisidine values (PAV), and fatty acid composition. Contents of lignan compounds during the oxidations were also monitored. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol was used as a reference antioxidant. Addition of lignan compounds decreased CDA contents and PAY of the oils during oxidation at $60^{\circ}C$ or heating at $180^{\circ}C$, which indicated that sesame oil lignans lowered the autoxidation and thermal oxidation of sunflower oil. Sesamol was the most effective in decreasing CDA formation and hydroperoxide decomposition in the auto- and thermo-oxidation of oil, and its antioxidant activity was significantly higher than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin added to sunflower oil were degraded during the oxidations of oils, with the fastest degradation of sesamol. Degradation of sesamin and sesamolin during the oxidations of the oil were lower than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The results strongly indicate that the oxidative stability of sunflower oil can be improved by the addition of sesamol, sesamin, or sesamolin extracted from roasted sesame oil.

Spaceborne pulse tube-type cryogenic compressors are widely used for space applications. To guarantee cooling performance of the compressor, mission life time and micor-vibration stability, suitable thermal control of compressor is required. Micro-vibration of the compressor is the one of the sources to degrade the pointing performance of observation satellite. In the present work, on-orbit thermal design of compressor in order not to degrade the performance of micro-vibration isolation system keeping the thermal control performance has been proposed and investigated through thermo-mechanical analysis.
