Accurate identification of microbes facilitates the prediction, prevention, and treatment of human diseases. To increase the accuracy of microbiome data analysis, a long region of the 16S rRNA is commonly sequenced via paired-end sequencing. In paired-end sequencing, a sufficient length of overlapping region is required for effective joining of the reads, and high-quality sequencing reads are needed at the overlapping region. Trimming sequences at the reads distal to a point where sequencing quality drops below a specific threshold enhance the joining process. In this study, we examined the effect of trimming conditions on the number of reads that remained after quality control and chimera removal in the Illumina paired-end reads of the V3-V4 hypervariable region. We also examined the alpha diversity and taxa assigned by each trimming condition. Optimum quality trimming increased the number of good reads and assigned more number of operational taxonomy units. The pre-analysis trimming step has a great influence on further microbiome analysis, and optimized trimming conditions should be applied for Divisive Amplicon Denoising Algorithm 2 analysis in QIIME2 platform.

Cutter deflections in the ball-end milling process is one of the main causes of the machining errors on a free-form surface. In order to avoid machining errors in this process, a methodology avoiding these machining errors on the free-form surfaces has been developed. In this method, feedrates in the finish cuts are adjusted for the prevention of machining errors. A model for the prediction of machining errors on the free-form surface is analytically derived as a function of feed and normal vector at the surface of contact point by the cutter. This model is applied to the dertermination of the adjusted feedrates which satisfy the machining tolerance of the surface. In the finish cuts of a simple curved surface, the suggested model is examined by the measurements of the generated machining error on this surface. And also, this surface is machined with the adjusted feedrates for the given machining tolerance. The measured machining errors on this surface are compared with the given tolerance. In this comparisons, it is shown that the predicted errors are fairly good agreement with the test results.

Nowadays, distributed mobility management (DMM) approaches have been widely adopted to address the limitations of centralized architectural methods to support seamless data transmission schemes in wireless sensor networks. This paper deals with the end-to-end (E2E) integration of Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol in distributed wireless sensor network systems in structural health and environmental monitoring of social overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures such as bridges, national highways, tunnels, and railroads. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the features of both the NEMO basic support protocol and partially distributed network-based DMM framework in providing seamless data transmission and robust mobility support. The E2E seamless data transmission scheme allows mobile users to roam from fixed-point network access locations and mobile platforms (i.e., vehicles such as cars, buses, and trains) without disconnecting its current sessions (i.e., seamless handover).

At the stroke end of an electromagnetic circuit breaker, the high speed of the mover makes a huge impact at the contact point, which induces the rebound problem of the mover that causes a breaker failure. Thus, a speed reduction equipment is required to address such problems. This study suggests to use an electric brake reduces the speed at the end of the stroke. The proposed circuit breaker which adopts the electric brake has a variable speed reduction function such that the continued rebound phenomenon ceases to occur. The electric brake is designed by the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the circuit and motion equations are solved using Time Difference Method (TDM). The comparisons between the simulation and experiments demonstrated the usefulness and validity of this study.

As competition in manufacturing enterprise is contested, the scope of safely production planning, manufacturing enterprise should ensure, has been reduced. The more upstream of SCM, the more reduction of scope of production planning. As a result, order fluctuation is more sharply contested. Through improving the logistics network, it is best way that the end user's demand information is conveyed to upstream of SCM, but it is difficult in fact. In this paper, it mention the way of robustic adjustment, in the suppliers' point of view, the end user's demand information is dammed up, as they postpone responding the customer's order as a possible. And it will show the result of appling the way, as a case study.

In a distributed real-time control system, it is essential to confirm the timing behavior of all tasks because these tasks of each real-time controller have to finish their processes within the specified time intervals called a deadline. In order to satisfy this objective, the timing analysis of a distributed real-time system such as shcedulability test must be performed during the system design phase. In this study, a simple application of CAN fur a vehicle body network system is formulated to apply to a holistic scheduling analysis, and the worst-case execution time (WCET) and the worst-case end-to-end response time (WCRT) are evaluated in the point of holistic system view.

Wireless Mesh Network expanded the capability of the conventional wireless networking by allowing the nodes to operate in proactive mode, reactive mode or the combination of both, the hybrid mode in the multi-hopping nature. By doing so, the links between the nodes become much more robust and reliable because of the number of paths to reach a destination node from a source node can be more than 1 and do not need to rely on the access point (AP) alone to relay the messages. As there may be many possible ways to form an end-to-end link between 2 nodes, the routing security becomes another main concern of the 802.11s protocol. Besides its reliance on the 802.11i for the security measures, 802.11s also includes some new features such as the Mesh Temporal Key (MTK) and the Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE). The authentication and key management (AKM) process of 802.11s were observed in this paper.

This paper analyzes the effect of DGS(Dispersed Generation System) on the voltage regulation of the traditional distribution system of which the voltage is controlled by the bank LDC(Line Drop Compensator). Through the simulation results for 22.9kV class distribution system with DGSs, some general relationships among the operating power factor and introduction limit of DGS, and the sending-end reference voltage determined by internal setting coefficients of the LDC are derived. Those relationships are that the introduction limit of DGS increases as the power factor of DGS goes from lagging to leading and also as the allowance of the sending-end reference voltage increases. From the relationships, a operation method of the power distribution system integrated with DGSs is proposed from the view point of the operating power factor of DGS and new voltage regulation method.

It is well known that making electric motors is very difficult in chapter 2, "Electric Current and Magnetic Field", natural science textbook 6-1 in primary school. In the present paper, we propose a new and successful method for making them. The most important point is that iron cores are not used in making electromagnets. This resolves the problem that both poles of electromagnet can be attracted by any pole of permanent magnet because of iron core in the electromagnet. The thick enamel wire is used as arms of armature so that they can support the electromagnet stably and we can reliably strip off the skin of the enamel wires, completely for one end and half for the other end of the enamel wires coming from the electromagnet. In addition, we suggest the ring-type support made of aluminum foil and the M-shaped support made of thick enamel wire that can substitute for the M-shaped copper wire support for armature. armature.

This paper presents a new algorithm for solving the inverse kinematics in real-time applications. The end-tip movement of each link can be resolved into the basic resolution unit, .DELTA.l, which depends on link length, reduction ratio and resolution of the incremental encoder attached to the joint. When x- and y-axis projection of the end-tip movement are expressed in .DELTA.l unit, projectional increments .DELTA.x and .DELTA.y become -1, 0 or I by truncation. By using the incremental computation with these ternary value and some simple logic rules, a coordinate transformation can be realized. Through this approach, it should be noted that the floating-point arithmetic and the manipulation of trigonometric functions are completely eliminated. This paper demonstrates the proposed method in a parallelogram linkage type, two-link arm.
