  • The purpose of the present study is to examine the heat transport limitations in a screen mesh heat pipe for electronic cooling by theoretical analysis. Diameter of pipe was 6mm, and mesh numbers were 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250, and water was investigated as working fluid. According to the change of mesh number, wick layer, inclination and saturation temperature, the maximum heat transport limitations by capillary, entraintment, sonic and boiling were analyzed by a theoretical design method of heat pipe, including capillary pressure, pumping pressure, liquid friction coefficient in wick, vapor friction coefficient, etc. Based on the results, the capillary limitation in a small diameter of heat pipe is largely affected by mesh number and wick layer. Mesh number of 250 is desirable not to be used in pipe diameter of 6 mm, because capillary heat transport limitation decreases by the abrupt increase of liquid friction pressure due to the small liquid flow area. For the heat transport of 15 watt in 6mm diameter pipe, mesh number of 100 and one layer is an optimum wick condition, which thermal resistance is the smallest.

  • High Quality CD, OAT audio requires that large amount of data. Currently, multi channel preference has been rapidly propagated among latest users. The MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group) is provides data compression technology of sound and image system. The MPEG standard provides multi channel and 5.1 sounds, using the same audio algorithm as MPEG-l. And MPEG-2 audio is forward and backward compatible. The MDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) is a linear orthogonal lapped transform based on the idea of TDAC(Time Domain Aliasing Cancellation). In this paper, we proposed the micro-program type vector processor architecture a benefit in MDCT/IMDCT of MPEG-II AAC. And it's reduced operating coefficient by overlapped area to bind. To compare original algorithm with optimized algorithm that cosine coefficient reduced $0.5\%$multiply operating $0.098\%$ and add operating 80.58\%$. Algorithm test is used C-language then we designed hardware architecture of micro-programmed method that applied to optimized algorithm. This processor is 20MHz operation 5V.

  • Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that has recently emerged as a promising target in drug discovery. It is involved in multiple cellular processes and associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis was performed on a series of GSK-3 inhibitors to understand the structural basis for inhibitory activity. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method was used to derive 3D-QSAR models. A reliable CoMFA model was developed using ligand-based alignment scheme. The model produced statistically acceptable results with a cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$) of 0.594 and a non-cross-validated correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.943. Robustness of the model was checked by bootstrapping and progressive scrambling analysis. This study could assist in the design of novel compounds with enhanced GSK-3 inhibitory activity.

  • Recently, ultrasonic testing techniques have been widely used in the evaluation of the quality of metal. In this experiment, six heat-treated temperature of specimen have been considered : 0, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350 and 1387$^{\circ}C$. As heat-treated temperature increases, the grain size of stainless steel also increases and then, eventually make it destroy. In this paper, a pattern recognition method is proposed to identify the heat-treated temperature of metals by evidence accumulation based on artificial intelligence with multiple feature parameters; difference absolute mean value(DAMV), variance(VAR), mean frequency(MEANF), auto regressive model coefficient(ARC), linear cepstrum coefficient(LCC) and adaptive cepstrum vector(ACV). The grain signal pattern recognition is carried out through the evidence accumulation procedure using the distances measured with reference parameters. Especially ACV is superior to the other parameters. The results (96% successful pattern classification) are presented to support the feasibility of the suggested approach for ultrasonic grain signal pattern recognition.

  • Due to the increased use of power caused by industrial development, the importance of improving wear and friction in the contact region has emerged. Except for some parts, such as brakes or clutches and friction, seals and precision mechanical parts (e.g., pistons, bearings, valves, and cams) are important engine components that require low friction characteristics. In this study, the experimental method used to determine the friction characteristics was based on the type of rpm with the pin-on-disc test device, the element analysis program ANSYS was used to analyze the surfaces of the two metals rubbing together, and physical formation FEM models were used to study the properties and wear. The friction coefficient of variation was unsafe, but at the start of wear, it converged to a stable friction coefficient that increased after a certain slip away.

  • Repeated measurement data between two group is often used in the field of medicine study. In this paper, we suggest a method for comparison of the trend between two groups based on repeated measurement data. First, we estimate regression coefficient of linear regression model from each subject and generate samples using the regression coefficient estimated previous. And then, we test the difference between two groups by unpaired t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test and placement test using generated samples. Monte Carlo Simulation is adapted to examine the power and experimental significance levels of several methods in various combinations.

  • When an anchor is dropped into the sea, there exists a danger of collision on the pipeline and subsea cables in the seabed. This collision could cause huge environmental disasters and serious economic losses. In order to secure the safety of subsea structures such as pipelines and subsea cables from the external impact, it is necessary to estimate the exact external force through the anchor's terminal velocity on the water. FLUENT, a computational fluid dynamic program, was used to acquire the terminal velocity and drag coefficient computation. A half-symmetry condition was used in order to reduce the computational time and a moving deforming mesh technique also adapted to present hydrostatic pressure. The results were examined with the equation based on Newton's Second Law to check the error rate. In this study, three example cases were calculated by stockless anchors of 5.25 ton, 10.5 ton, and 15.4 ton, and for the onshore experiment dropped height was back calculated with the anchor's terminal velocity in the water.
