This article deals with the changes in flow air properties across an oblique shock wave for a real gas. The flow through is investigated to find a general form for oblique shock waves. The main objective of this work will result in the development of a new numerical algorithm to determine the effect of the stagnation pressure on supersonic flow for thermally and calorically imperfect gases with a molecular dissociation threshold, thus giving a better affinity to the physical behavior of the waves. So, the effects of molecular size and intermolecular attraction forces are used to correct a state equation, emphasizing the determination of the impact of upstream stagnation parameters on oblique shock waves. As results, the specific heat pressure does not remain constant and varies with the temperature and density. At Mach numbers greater than 2.0, the temperature rise considerably, and the density rise is well above, that predicted assuming ideal gas behavior. It is shown that caloric imperfections in air have an appreciable effect on the parameters developed in the processes is considered. Computation of errors between the present model based on real gas theory and a perfect gas model shows that the influence of the thermal and caloric imperfections associated with a real gas is important and can rise up to 16%.

This paper intends to analyze the nonlinear forced vibrations of functionally graded material (FGM) beams with initial geometrical defects in hygro-thermal ambiences. For this purpose, we assume that the correlation properties of the material alter along the thickness direction in succession and the surface of the beam is subjected to humid and thermal loads. Based on the Euler Bernoulli beam theory and geometrical non-linearity, we use the Hamiltonian principle to formulate a theoretical model with consideration of the hygrothermal effects. Galerkin's technique has been proposed for the control equations of discrete systems. The non-linear primary resonances are acquired by applying the modified Lindstedt-Poincare method (MLP). Verify the reliability of the data obtained through comparison with literature. The non-linear resonance response is reflected by amplitude-frequency response curves. The numerical results indicate that the resonances of FGM beams include three non-linear characteristics, namely hard springs, soft springs and soft-hard spring types. The response modalities of the structure may transform between those non-linear characteristics when material properties, spring coefficients, geometric defect values, temperature-humidity loads and even the external stimulus generate variations.

The impact problem of imperfect beams is crucial in engineering fields such as water conservancy and transportation. In this paper, the low velocity impact of graphene reinforced metal foam beams with geometric defects is studied for the first time. Firstly, an improved Hertz contact theory is adopted to construct an accurate model of the contact force during the impact process, while establishing the initial conditions of the system. Subsequently, the classical theory was used to model the defective beam, and the motion equation was derived using Hamilton's principle. Then, the Galerkin method is applied to discretize the equation, and the Runge Kutta method is used for numerical analysis to obtain the dynamic response curve. Finally, convergence validation and comparison with existing literature are conducted. In addition, a detailed analysis was conducted on the sensitivity of various parameters, including graphene sheet (GPL) distribution pattern and mass fraction, porosity distribution type and coefficient, geometric dimensions of the beam, damping, prestress, and initial geometric defects of the beam. The results revealed a strong inhibitory effect of initial geometric defects on the impact response of beams.

A copolymer P[OSA-MI] was synthesized by copolymerization of its corresponding monomers, N-phenyl maleimide (MI) and 2-octen-l-ylsuccinic anhydride (OSA). The polymer (poly[2-[1-(2,5-dioxo-l-phenylpyrroli­din-3-ylmethyl)heptyl]-succinic acid 4-(2-$\{$ethyl-[4-(4-nitrophen-ylazo)phenyl]amino$\}$ethyl)ester]) P[DR1MA-MI] was obtained from the reaction of P[OSA-MI] with 2-[4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-N-ethylphenylamino] ethanol (DR1). A stable monolayer of P[DRIMA-MI] was formed by spreading the solution of the polymer in chloroform. In Y-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films prepared using this Langmuir-Blodgett method, the second harmonic waves generated from adjacent mono layers canceled each other out. In X-and Z-type LB films, the second harmonic intensity increased upon increasing the number of monolayers, but this increase was somewhat smaller than predicted by the square law. This phenomenon is due to defects or imperfect alignment of the dipoles in the LB film. The generation of second harmonic waves from Y-type LB films having an even number of mono layers supports this argument. The degree of imperfection seemed to increase as the number of layers increased. The second-order nonlinear optical properties of spin-cast films of these polymers were also measured. The largest second harmonic coefficient of the poled P[DRIMA-MI] film coated on a glass plate was 19 pm/V.

Laser Inertial Navigation System(LINS) consists of Ring Laser Gyroscopes(RLG) and accelerometers. RLG has a lock-in region in which there is zero output for input angular rates less than 0.1deg/sec. The lock-in region is generated by the imperfect mirrors in RLG. To avoid the lock-in region, sinusoidal motion which is called dither motion is applied on RLG. Therefore without the fault in LINS, the dither motion must be measured by RLG/accelerometer. In this paper, we propose the method to detect the fault of LINS through checking out whether or not the dither motion is always measured by RLG/accelerometer using the Fast Fourier Transformation(FFT) on the real time. The feasibility of the fault detection method proposed in this paper is verified through the stationary and van test.

The quantized beamforming systems always need the channel state information, which must be quantized into a finite set of vectors (named codebook), and feedback only sends the index representing the desired vector. Thereby it minimized the impact of feedback errors, caused by feedback overhead and delay. In this regard, index assignment (IA) methods, an exhaustive-search and group-based schemes, have been presented for minimizes the performance degradation without additional feedback bits. In this paper, we proposed enhanced group-based IA method, which used the optimal codebook design with chordal distance, having the adaptive properties in application of the existing IA methods. When the number of transmit antennas is 4 and LTE codebook is used, Monte-Carlo simulations verify that the proposed scheme has a power advantage of 0.5~1dB to obtain the same bit error rate than methods without IA, and it has 0.1~0.2 dB better performance compared with the existing IA methods over same environment.

3D crosstalk is one of the disturbing things to recognize 3D images. This is caused by the phenomenon that input image for left eye is transferred at the right eye and right eye is transferred at the left eye because of the imperfect isolation by the device characteristics. In this paper, we review the 3D PDP (Plasma Display Panel) operation using active shutter glasses and crosstalk measurement method and investigate the major cause of 3D crosstalk and extend conventional 3D crosstalk using full white and full black image input to Gray-to-Gray (GtoG) 3D crosstalk. We suggest a specific method to reduce Gray-to-Gray 3D crosstalk by using Look up Table (LUT) and sub-field mapping in PDP. And then, we verify the method by measuring GtoG 3D crosstalk rate through specific test images and numerical results.

This paper investigates the spectrum hole utilization of cooperative schemes for the two-way relaying model in order to improve the utilization efficiency of limited spectrum holes in cognitive radio networks with imperfect spectrum sensing. We propose two specific bidirectional secondary data transmission (BSDT) schemes with two-step and three-step two-way relaying models, i.e., two-BSDT and three-BSDT schemes, where the spectrum sensing and the secondary data transmission are jointly designed. In the proposed cooperative schemes, the best two-way relay channel between two secondary users is selected from a group of secondary users serving as cognitive relays and assists the bi-directional communication between the two secondary users without a direct link. The closed-form asymptotic expressions for outage probabilities of the two schemes are derived with a primary user protection constraint over Rayleigh fading channels. Based on the derived outage probabilities, the spectrum hole utilization is calculated to evaluate the percentage of spectrum holes used by the two secondary users for their successful information exchange without channel outage. Numerical results show that the spectrum hole utilization depends on the spectrum sensing overhead and the channel gain from a primary user to secondary users. Additionally, we compare the spectrum hole utilization of the two schemes as the varying of secondary signal to noise ratio, the number of cognitive relays, and symmetric and asymmetric channels.

Controlled drug delivery systems employing microparticles offer lots of advantages over conventional drug dosage formulations. Microencapsulation technique have been conducted with biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) for its adjustable biodegradability and biocompatibility. In this study, we evaluated two techniques, oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion solvent evaporation and spray drying, for preparation of polymeric microparticles encapsulating a newly synthesized drug, SS-AG20, for the long-term drug delivery of this low-molecular-weight drug with a very short half-life. Drug-loaded microparticles prepared by the solvent evaporation method showed a smoother morphology; however, relatively poor encapsulation efficiency and drastic initial burst were discovered as drawbacks. Spray-dried drug-loaded microparticles had an imperfect surface with pores and distorted portions so that its initial burst was critical (70.05-87.16%) when the preparation was carried out with a 5% polymeric solution. By increasing the concentration of the polymer, the morphology was refined and undesirable initial burst was circumvented (burst was reduced to 35.93-74.85%) while retaining high encapsulation efficiency. Moreover, by encapsulating the drug with various biodegradable polymers using the spray drying method, gradual and sustained drug release, for up to 2 weeks, was achieved.

The purpose of this study was to set up the proper method of corporal punishment. The analysis was based on game theory. Major conclusion were as follows: First, the principle of maximum utility and a rational humane of students were assumed. Second, in the game situation of imperfect information, the actions deserved punishment were done by students and punishment was not done by teachers. Third, in game situation of incomplete information, when the probability of punishment is over 50%, ill actions were done by students. Forth, in game situation of complete information, the actions deserved punishment were not done by students, punishment didn't have to be done by teachers. Fifth, in game situation of complete information, when the written agreement for punishment of teacher-students was carried out, the student's school life satisfaction measurement was improved significantly.
