  • The structure of rapidly solidified Al-Si-based alloys and its relationship to subsequent anodic film growth in near neutral and acid solutions have been investigated. Solidification of the alloys proceeds via pre-dendritic nuclei, associated with rugosity of the casting surface, from which cellular-type growth, comprised of aluminium-rich material surrounded by silicon-containing material, emanates. Observation of ultramicrotomed sections of the alloys and their anodic films reveals the local oxidation of the silicon-rich phase and its incorporation into the anodic alumina film, formed in near neutral solutions. Such incorporation occurs but resultant isolation of the silicon-rich phase is not possible for anodizing in phosphoric acid, and a three-dimensional network of the oxidized silicon-containing phase, with continuing development of porous anodic alumina, is observed.

  • In a dynamic environment autonomous robots often encounter unexpected situations that the robots have to deal with in order to continue proceeding their mission. We propose an adaptive goal-based model that allows cyber-physical systems (CPS) to update their environmental model and helps them analyze for attainment of their goals from current state using the updated environmental model and its capabilities. Information exchange approach utilizes Human-Agent-Robot-Machine-Sensor (HARMS) model to exchange messages between CPS. Model validation method uses NuSMV, which is one of Model Checking tools, to check whether the system can continue its mission toward the goal in the given environment. We explain a practical set up of the model in a situation in which homogeneous robots that has the same capability work in the same environment.

  • This paper covers the basic principles of the AFM and how these systems may be used to image biological materials and measure particle-surface interactions in process environments. e.g. visualize molecules and structure on surfaces in aqueous environments, measure forces of interaction of proteins and DNA, biosurface and cells. Examples of work include applications biological spore control agents control systems, process materials selection for example appropriate filters for biological processing, mechanical properties and bio-surface engineering.

  • A model for a system whose state changes continuously with time is introduced. It is assumed that the system is modeled by a Brownian motion with negative drift and an absorbing barrier at the origin. A repairman arrives according to a Poisson process and repairs the system according to an (s,S) policy, i.e., he increases the state of the system up to S if and only if the state is below s. A partial differential equation is derived for the distribution function of X(t), the state of the system at time t, and the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the distribution function is obtained by solving the partial differential equation. For the stationary case the explicit expression is deduced for the distribution function of the stationary state of the system.

  • Load building is an important step to make the delivery supply chain efficient. We present a family of load makeup algorithms using market based control strategy, named LoadMarket, in order to build efficient loads where each load consists of a certain number of finished products having destinations. LoadMarket adopts Clark-Wright algorithm for generating initial endowment for Load Traders who cooperate to minimize either total travel distance or the variance with respect to the travel distances of loads by means of the spot market or double-sided auction market mechanism. The efficiency of the LoadMarket algorithms is illustrated using simulation based experiments.

  • We aim to introduce a further extension of a family of the extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta functions of two variables. We then systematically investigate several interesting properties of the extended function such as its integral representations which provide extensions of various earlier corresponding results of two and one variables, its summation formula, its Mellin-Barnes type contour integral representations, its computational representation and fractional derivative formulas. A multi-parameter extension of the extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function of two variables is also introduced. Relevant connections of certain special cases of the main results presented here with some known identities are pointed out.

  • In this study, it has been developed the program for predicting the noise spectrum of axial flow fan. The radiated acoustic pressure is expressed the discrete frequency noise peaks at BPF(Blade passage frequency) and its harmonics by Wu's method and the line spectrum at the broad band by Wright's method. And this paper presents the characteristics of a fan noise due to modify the design parameters. Accordingly, it is obtained the design parameter values for noise reduction of fan.

  • Quantum theory of Niels Bohr received the Nobel Prize in Physics was rooted to the Oriental thought 'Yin-Yang and the Five Elements 陰陽五行', and architect Frank Lloyd Wright is also known as Lao Tzu's thoughts on the best architectural theory. Thus, the western architecture and oriental thought is very similar to the concept development. On the basis of this fact, the architectural philosophy of Mies van der Rohe is closely contact with Lao Tzu's Taoism, that is 'The greatest has no boundary 大象無形, Tao Te Ching chap.41' or 'The way to be is not to be 有道者 不處, Tao Te Ching chap.24'. Hence the aim of this thesis is to investigate the interrelation between the German architect Mies van der Rohe's 'almost nothing' and the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu's 'Taoism'.

  • A modular multidisciplinary analysis and optimization framework has been built with the goal of performing conceptual design of an advanced efficient supersonic air vehicle. This paper addresses the specific challenge of designing this type of aircraft for a long range, supersonic cruise mission with a payload release. The framework includes all the disciplines expected for multidisciplinary supersonic aircraft design, although it also includes disciplines specifically required by an advanced aircraft that is tailless and has embedded engines. Several disciplines have been developed at multifidelity levels. The framework can be readily adapted to the conceptual design of other supersonic aircraft. Favorable results obtained from running the analysis framework for a B-58 supersonic bomber test case are presented as a validation of the methods employed.

  • We aim to establish certain Saigo hypergeometric fractional integral formulas for a finite product of the generalized k-Bessel functions, which are also used to present image formulas of several integral transforms including beta transform, Laplace transform, and Whittaker transform. The results presented here are potentially useful, and, being very general, can yield a large number of special cases, only two of which are explicitly demonstrated.
