Flow characteristics of velocity-control trim in a valve is investigated numerically with high pressure drop. A basic trim widely used for a valve in domestic powerplants is selected and designed for a baseline of velocity-control trim. The numerical analysis is focused on flow rate and cavitation with the basic trim. For a condition of high-pressure drop, pressure drop between inlet and outlet and fluid temperature are selected to be 18.1 MPa and $160^{\circ}C$, respectively, which are typical ones considering operating conditions adopted in powerplants. With this baseline model and condition, design changes are made for improvement of flow rate and cavitation phenomenon. For re-design, trim is divided into three zones in radial direction and design parameters of flow area, stage, and flow direction are considered in each zone. With these combined parameters applied to each zone, 4 models with design changes are proposed and their flow rates and cavitation areas are investigated. From comparison with those in the baseline model of a basic trim, proposed models show better performance in both flow rate and cavitation.

The displacement Deep-V catamaran concept was developed in Newcastle University(UNEW) through development of the systematic Deep-V catamaran series. One of the most important Deep-V catamaran launched to date is Newcastle University's own multi-purpose research vessel, The Princess Royal. The vessel was launched in 2011 and enhanced the Deep-V catamaran concept further with the successful adoption of a novel anti-slamming bulbous bow and tunnel stern for improved efficiency. It was however identified that the vessel has substantial amount of dynamic trim that limited the visibility of the captain. The dynamic trim also increased the wave-making resistance thereby preventing the vessel from attaining its maximum speed in certain sea states. This paper therefore presents the application of devices such as Trim Tabs, Interceptors, Transom Wedges and Integrated Transom Wedges-Tabs to control the dynamic trim and improvement of fuel efficiency of the vessel. All of these energy saving devices were fitted into a model for tests in Newcastle University's Towing Tank. Model test verification confirmed that the optimum appendage was the interceptors, they produced a 5% power saving and 1.2 degree trim reduction at 15 knots, and investigations of full scale trials will be scheduled with and without application of device to compare the improvement of performance.

This paper presents the control law of Automatic Rudder Trim System(ARTS) for the KTX-1. The proposed ARTS is designed mainly t reduce the pilot's work load for trimming in the various conditiions of engine torque. airspeed, and aircraft configuration. The ARTS partially compensates the transient yawing motion due to change of engine power in turboprop aircraft because of the limitation of the actuation speed of the trim motor. In this paper flight test data are analyzed to understand the phenomena and the dynamics of the reversible rudder flight control system is derived. Finally, the control concept and conrtol law of ARTS are described and the characteristics of the ARTS are analyzed through simulation study.

The multi-stage control valve is one of the devices which controls cavitation and high pressure drop. To attain the high pressure drop, the conventional control valves adopted the multi-stage trim to avoid the occurrence of local cavitation in valves. This work studied the effect of divergence angle on the characteristics of multi-stage trim. Pressure drop and flow characteristics was calculated for the 1 passage of multi-staged trim by using the FLUENT 6.3.26. The result showed that the pressure drop is significantly influenced by the divergence angle of multi-stage trim. In addition, the pressure drop increased consistently as the Reynolds number and divergence angle increases.

In general, a fundamental structural design consideration for an automobile is the overall dynamic behavior in bending and torsion. Dynamic behavior of the automobile are mainly influenced by the structural stiffness of B.I.W.(body-in-white) and the physical property of trim components. In this paper, the modeling techniques for various trim components of middle-sized bus are presented, and the dynamic effects of the trim components on the vibration characteristics of the bus are investigated. The $1^{st}$ torsional frequency is decreased by attaching windshield and backlite to the B.I.W., but the $1^{st}$ vertical bending frequency and the $1^{st}$ lateral bending frequency are increased. The natural frequencies of the bus are decreased by attaching doors and windows. And also, the natural frequencies of the bus are large decreased by attaching seats, instrument panel etc. The study shows that the dynamic characteristics of the bus can be effectively predicted in the initial design stage.

Although the mechanism of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) initiation through BCR/ABL oncogene has been well characterized, CML cell differentiation into erythroid lineage cells remains poorly understood. Using CRISPR-Cas9 screening, we identify Chromobox 8 (CBX8) as a negative regulator of K562 cell differentiation into erythrocytes. CBX8 is degraded via proteasomal pathway during K562 cell differentiation, which activates the expression of erythroid differentiation-related genes that are repressed by CBX8 in the complex of PRC1. During the differentiation process, the serine/threonine-protein kinase PIM1 phosphorylates serine 196 on CBX8, which contributes to CBX8 reduction. When CD235A expression levels are analyzed, the result reveals that the knockdown of PIM1 inhibits K562 cell differentiation. We also identify TRIM28 as another interaction partner of CBX8 by proteomic analysis. Intriguingly, TRIM28 maintains protein stability of CBX8 and TRIM28 loss significantly induces proteasomal degradation of CBX8, resulting in an acceleration of erythroid differentiation. Here, we demonstrate the involvement of the CBX8-TRIM28 axis during CML cell differentiation, suggesting that CBX8 and TRIM28 are promising novel targets for CML research.

The preliminary design stage of helicopters consists of various operations and in each operation design several detailed analysis tasks are needed. The analysis tasks include performance and the required power estimation. In helicopter design, those are usually carried out by adopting the momentum theory. In this paper, an explicit form of computational analysis based on the blade element theory and uniform/non-uniform inflow model is developed. The other motivation of the present development is to obtain trim and required power estimation for various helicopter configurations. Sectional and hub loads, power, trim, and flapping equations are derived by using a symbolic tool. Iterative computations are carried out till convergence is achieved in the blade response, inflow, and trim. The predictions regarding the trim and power estimation turn out to be correlated well with the experimental results. The effect of inflow is further investigated. It is found that the present prediction for the lateral cyclic pitch angle is improved with the non-uniform inflow model as compared to that by the uniform inflow model. The presently improved trim and power estimation will be useful for future helicopter sizing and performance analysis.

In this study, trim tabs were attached to end of stern hull of a small high-speed vessel of length approximately 10 m and Froude number 1.0 to improve resistance performance and passenger comfort. Before computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess the performance according to various geometries of the trim tab, the scale effect had been found through a previous study, so full-scale simulations were performed. The trim tab chord length was set to 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 1.5 % of L_PP, and its angle to base line was varied in intervals of 5°. It decreased trim by stern and flotation: the greater the angle and length, the greater was the effect. Then it had pressure resistance decreased and shear resistance increased, and reduction ratio of total resistance varied accordingly. The results of this study indicated that the resistance performance was improved about 27 % at optimal running attitude that was the trim by stern about 1.5°.

Temporary files are generated when the Hash Join is performed on tables larger than the memory. During the join process, each temporary file is deleted sequentially after it completes the I/O operations. This paper reveals for that the fallocate system call and file deletion-related trim options significantly impact the hash join performance when temporary files are managed on SSDs rather than hard disks. The experiment was conducted on various commercial and research SSDs using PostgreSQL, a representative open-source database. We find that it is possible to improve the join performance up to 3 to 5 times compared to the default combination depending on whether fallocate and trim options are used for temporary files. In addition, we investigate the write amplification and trim command overhead in the SSD according to the combination of the two options for temporary files.
