  • Numerical simulation is performed with Denton's code to get pressure loss coefficients in wide range of reverse flow incidence(from -90 degree to +85 degree) for an axial compressor cascade. As a results, it is found that the pressure loss coefficient is increased with incidence and there exist critical incidence which corresponds to the maximum pressure loss coefficient. Pressure loss coefficient with bigger incidence than its critical value is decreased. The effect of increasing incidence in a cascade extremely reduce the mass flow rate by the large flow separation region. Consequently this effect reduce the portion of dynamic pressure in the total pressure loss and beyond the critical incidence the pressure loss coefficient decrease.

  • In this paper, comparative studies between Linde, Claude and advanced cycle for the liquefaction of nitrogen have been completed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2021. 1 from AVEVA company (Cambridge, UK) was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling of the condensation of nitrogen. When using Claude liquefaction, we can reduce the total compression power by 49.25% for the comparison of Linde cycle. And finally, we could conclude that 90.41% of total compression power was saved when using an advanced cycle being compared to Linde liquefaction cycle.

  • Since the welding process is complex and highly nonlinear, it is very difficult to accurately model the process for real-time control. In this paper, a discrete-time transfer function matrix model for gas metal arc welding process is proposed. Although this linearized model is valid only around the operating point of interest, the adaptation mechanism employed in the control system render this model useful over a wide operating range. A multivariable one-step-ahead adaptive control strategy combined with a recursive least-squares method for on-line parameter estimation is implemented in order to achieve the desired weld bead geometries. Command following and disturbance rejection properties of the adaptive control system for both SISO and MIMO cases are investigated by simulation and experiment.

  • The paper describes a novel technique for on line parameter identification of three-phase induction motors from a single, run up to speed test. Data is sampled during this test with the normal locked rotor and synchronous speed data captured on the way to reaching the motor's rated speed. Rotor parameter variations with frequency due to skin and proximity effects and other non-linear imperfections such as heating and main flux path saturation are taken into account. This method is ideal for determining and/or verifying parameters used in high performance drives.

Pickard-Cambridge(1893)가 設定한 Coelotinae로 옮겼는데 이것은 매우 타당한 處事라 하겠다. 韓國産 Coras 屬에 對해서는 白(1942, 1962, 1967), 白 $\\cdot$ 金(1956) 및 南宮(1964) 等이 日本과 共通種인 Coras insidiosus를 報告한바 있다. 그러나 이번 調査에서 이것은 Coelotes songminjae Paik et Yaginuma, 1969의 synonym으로 밝혀졌으므로 우리 나라의 spider fauna에서 除外하기로 했다. 한편 筆者 所藏의 標本을 整理한 結果 새로히 1韓國未記錄種 과 1新種을 얻었기에 이에 記載하는 바이다. 韓國未記錄種 Coras luctuosus (L.

  • Kartagener syndrome (KS) is a rare disease with an incidence of 1 in 20,000 to 30,000 births. There is no cure for KS, and conservative medical treatments are used to relieve symptoms and prevent disease progression. Lung transplantation (LT) is the only treatment option for end-stage KS. Since patients with KS have anatomical abnormalities such as situs inversus totalis, which often require surgery to correct, most reports are related to surgical techniques. Reports about morphological adaptations and changes in transplanted lung structure after LT in patients with KS are rare. We performed LT in a patient with KS and observed morphological adaptation of the lungs for 6 months on chest computed tomography using a quantitative evaluation tool (Chest Image Platform; Harvard University Disability Resources, Cambridge, MA, USA).

  • The connection between the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and star formation activity is one of the most important issues in understanding the coevolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and galaxies. In our recent study, by using SDSS quasar spectra we found that the emission-line flux rations involving a nitrogen line, i.e., $NV{\lambda}1240$, correlate with the Eddington ratio. This correlation suggests that the mass accretion into SMBH is associated with a post-starburst phase, when AGB stars enrich the interstellar medium with the nitrogen. Moreover, we focused on nitrogen-loud quasars, which have prominent emission lines of the nitrogen, to investigate whether this argument is correct or not. We will present our recent results described above and discuss the relation between the star formation and feeding to SMBHs.
