This study provides how the Dimension Reduction (DR) method as an efficient technique for reliability analysis can acquire its increased efficiency when it is applied to highly nonlinear problems. In the highly nonlinear engineering systems, 4N+1 (N: number of random variables) sampling is generally recognized to be appropriate. However, there exists uncertainty concerning the standard for judgment of non-linearity of the system as well as possibility of diverse degrees of non-linearity according to each of the random variables. In this regard, this study judged the linearity individually on each random variable after 2N+1 sampling. If high non-linearity appeared, 2 additional sampling was administered on each random variable to apply the DR method. The applications of the proposed sampling to the examples produced the constant results with increased efficiency.

Amino alcohol-derived thiazolidinethiones [4-(S)-IPTT, 4(S)-ETT] serve as efficient chiral auxiliary in tin medicated aldol condensation. A highly enantioselective aldol-type reaction forming various ${\beta}$-hydroxy carbonyl compounds from 3-acetylthiazolidine-2-thione and achiral aldehyde is achieved via divalent tin enolate. The other advantages of these chiral auxiliaries were the ease of removal by methanolysis.

The application of computers and information technologies progressed with remarkable pace has paved the way for technological innovation toward the efficient integration of various functions in a manufacturing system. Actually it is observed that the greater part of manufacturing companies already initiated significant efforts to integrate information systems and attained the level of integration to some extent. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the strategic direction that manufacturing firms are pursuing through integrating information systems. Using the extensive data gathered from Japanese manufacturers, it is attempted to find the differences in competitive priorities and action programmes between the companies with high and low-level system integration. Our empirical data reveals that the manufacturers with highly integrated system are focusing their competitive capabilities on the rapid design change and new product introduction, and accordingly they place a greater emphasis on the action programmes related to design, process and quality improvement. As a conclusion, highly integrated firms tend to pursue new product development strategy more intensively, thereby they want to be a preemptor in the new market through exploiting technological advantages of integrated manufacturing system.

Friction reduction between sliding hydraulic machine components is required to improve efficiency and reliability of hydraulic machineries. It is recently reported that surface texturing on sliding bearing surfaces can reduce the friction force highly. In this paper, numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of dimple numbers and inlet boundary pressures on the lubrication characteristics of a parallel sliding bearing using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. The results show that the pressure distribution, load capacity, dimensionless friction force and leakage with dimple number and their locations, and inlet pressures. The overall lubrication characteristics are highly affected by dimple numbers and boundary pressure. The numerical method adopted and results can be used in design of efficient hydraulic machine components.

We developed highly efficient blue PHOLEDs with reduced roll-off by using a mixed host structure. The balanced charge carrier injection and the distributed recombination zone within emissive layer resulted in a highly stable efficiency roll-off with quantum efficiencies of 20.1 and 18.1 % at a luminance of 1000 and 10000 cd/$m^2$.

This paper covers switched reluctance generator (SRG) and its comparison with induction and synchronous machines for distributed generation. The SRG is simple in design, robust in construction, and fault tolerant in operation; it can also withstand very high temperatures. However, the performance and cost of the SRG power electronics driver are highly affected by the topology and design of the converter. IGBT and MOSFET based converters are not suitable for very high power applications. This paper presents thyristor-based resonant converters which are superior candidates for very high power applications. Operations of the converters are analyzed and their characteristics and dynamics are determined in terms of the system parameters. The resonant converters are capable of handling high currents and voltages; these converters are highly efficient and reliable as well. Therefore, they are suitable for high power applications in the range of 1MW or larger for distributed generation.

Dissociation of a highly excited diatomic molecule in the Ar + Ar…$O_2$ and Ar + $O_2$ collisions is studied using trajectory dynamics procedures in the collision energy range of 0.050 to 1.0 eV. Between 0.050 and 0.2 eV, dissociation probabilities are very large for the complexed system compared to the uncomplexed system. This efficient dissociation of $O_2$ in Ar…$O_2$ is attributed to the ready flow of energy from the incident atom to the large-amplitude vibrational motion of the excited O2 via the van der Waals bond. Thermal-averaged dissociation probabilites of $O_2$ in Ar + Ar…$O_2$ near room temperature are nearly two orders of magnitude larger than those of $O_2$ in Ar + $O_2$.

Many standard methods are used for secret text files and secrete short messages cryptography, these methods are efficient when the text to be encrypted is small, and the efficiency will rapidly decrease when increasing the text size, also these methods sometimes have a low level of security, this level will depend on the PK length and sometimes it may be hacked. In this paper, a new method will be introduced to improve the data protection level by using a changeable secrete speech file to generate PK. Highly Secure Data Encryption (HSDE) method will be implemented and tested for data quality levels to ensure that the HSDE destroys the data in the encryption phase, and recover the original data in the decryption phase. Some standard methods of data cryptography will be implemented; comparisons will be done to justify the enhancements provided by the proposed method.

Quantum dots (QDs) are an attractive material for application in solar energy conversion devices because of their unique properties including facile band-gap tuning, a high-absorption coefficient, low-cost processing, and the potential multiple exciton generation effect. Recently, highly efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) have been developed based on CdSe, PbS, CdS, and Cu-In-Se QDs. However, for the commercialization and wide application of these QDSCs, replacing the conventional rigid glass substrates with flexible substrates is required. Here, we demonstrate flexible CISe QDSCs based on vertically aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube (NT) electrodes. The highly uniform $TiO_2$ NT electrodes are prepared by two-step anodic oxidation. Using these flexible photoanodes and semi-transparent Pt counter electrodes, we fabricate the QDSCs and examine their photovoltaic properties. In particular, photovoltaic performances are optimized by controlling the nanostructure of $TiO_2$ NT electrodes.
