  • Bi-substituted gadolinium iron garnet films were deposited on GGG(111) and NGG (111) substrates by irradiating KrF excimer laser onto targets having compositions of $Bi_{x}Gd_{3-x}Fe_{5}O_{12}$ ($2.0{\leq}x{\leq}3.0$) under substrate temperature of $580~620^{\circ}C$. Analysis on structure, composition and angle of Faraday rotation, ${\theta}_{F}$, were carried out. The composition, the structure and the magneto-optical properties of the obtained films were found to be strongly dependent both on the compositions of the targets and on the pressure of oxygen. Before annealing in air, all films showed ${\theta}_{F}{\geq}0$ at ${\lambda}=6328{\AA}$, while several films showed ${\theta}_{F}{\leq}0$ after the annealing. The highest value of Bi-substitution up to x = 1.76 with uniform composition was obtained.

  • This paper presents the reliability models for redundant systems composed of repairable components whose failure time and repair time distributions are phase-type. It is shown that the distribution of time to system failure is also phase-type. The dependency between components are considered and integrated into the model by the used of the rate adjustment factor. The phase-type representation is constructed for the system through algebraic operations on the parameters of components\` failure time and repair time distributions and the corresponding rate adjustment factors. Types of system structures considered are parallel, k-out-of-N system with load sharing scheme and standby system with operation priority.

  • In this paper, we analyze the WLL systems with high chip rate, which virtually eliminates the multipath fading effects by appling space diversity functions. First, we found out the capacity of reverse link which resulted from performing computer simulation of the transmission and reception of the WLL systems to evaluate the performance of the WLL systems in real environment. Besides, we analyze the radio propagation medium and the link budget and from the results, made RCSU for providing of the AWGN multipath fading channel. This RCSU is produced to characterize the urban radio propagation medium in various environments. From the simulation results, diversity gains increase as depth of fading becomes deeper. We also confirm that the systems applied diversity reduce the effects of multipath fading phenomena which cause to degrade the performance of WLL systems, based on the results $E_b/N_o$ and BER curve.

  • In this paper, a new sensor chip with frequency reconstruction range of 2.252 GHz ~ 2.450 GHz is designed and fabricated. On this basis, a self-designed "T-shaped" shell is added to overcome the disadvantage of uneven deformation of the traditional steel shell, and the range of the sensor chip is expanded to 0 kN ~ 96 kN. The liquid metal antenna is used to carry out a step-by-step loading test, and the relationship between the antenna resonance frequency and the pressure load is analyzed. The results show that there is a good linear relationship between the pressure load and the resonant frequency. Therefore, the liquid metal antenna can be regarded as a pressure sensor. The cyclic loading and unloading experiments of the sensor are carried out, and different loading rates are used to explore the influence on the performance of the sensor. The loading and unloading characteristic curves and the influence characteristic curves of loading rate are plotted. The experimental results show that the sensor has no residual deformation during the cycle of loading and unloading. Moreover, the influence of temperature on the performance of the sensor is studied, and the temperature correction formula is derived.

  • The procedures and relevant programs developed for analyzing mechanical load data of wind turbine generator systems, which are obtained through type certification tests, are verified. The following issues according to IEC 61400-13 are covered in the developed programs: data validation, time series analysis, summary load statistics, generation of fatigue load spectra, and estimation of equivalent loads. A capture matrix for normal power production is generated to determine whether the collected data sets are sufficient to carry out fatigue analysis. Fatigue load spectra are obtained through the rainflow counting method using 50 load ranges; finally, equivalent loads are calculated using different S-N curve slopes, m, according to the relevant materials. Case studies are performed using aero-elastic simulation data of the NREL 5 MW baseline wind turbine with a monopile foundation.

  • We have performed ab initio pseudopotential electronic structure calculations for various edge geometries of the (n,n) singlewall nanotube with on without applied fields. Among the systems studied, the one with the zigzag edge exposed by a slant out is found to be the most favorable for the emission due to the existence of unpaired dangling bond states around the Fermi level. The next favorable geometry is the capped nanotube where ${\pi}-bonding$ states localized at the cap and pointing to We tube axis direction occur at the Fermi level. A scaling rule of the induced field linean in the aspect ratio of the tube is also obtained.

  • The following paper proposes the new design of digital sine wave generator which allows users to define the phase shift of the out put sinewave according to user's demands. This new sinewave generator will have 2 outputs, cos(${\omega}_0n$) and cos(${\omega}_0n$+${\phi}$) The design of the new system starts from the construction of discrete time system with impulse response as cos(${\omega}_0n$) in a pair of conjugate complex poles and a pair of zeros at the origin and the real axis. If users want to make a phase shift of sign wave, users can change the position of zero at the real axis. The results of the experiment have shown that the new design of sign wave generator has generated sine wave with the correct phase shift according to the theory.

  • Adhesion between carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays is measured and characterized for number of different contact areas. The CNT arrays are directly grown on an electrostatic microactuator, and they make contact with each other during the growth process. The pull-out force is precisely applied by the microactuator while the contact status is identified by measuring electrical resistance between the CNT arrays. We have designed different contact areas of 1000, 6000, and 8500 ${\mu}m^2$ between the CNT arrays, and the corresponding adhesion increases from 0.9 to 3.7 ${\mu}N$ as the contact area increases.

  • Problem definition is as important as problem solving in decision making. Decision makers, however, tend to see problem partly or to define it unclearly. The researchers on decision making tend to lay a focus only on the Process of solving the given problem. This dissertation empirically studied the Problem diagnosis and definition in the decision making process. This study developed three kinds of DSS(Decision Support System) for the research and analyzed the effectiveness of the problem diagnosis and definition using DSS developed in this study. The three kinds of DSS are K-T(Kennel and Tregoe) DSS which is a method of table-styled information Presentation, and F-N(Fact-Net) DSS and C-E(Cause and Effect) DSS which are methods of graphic-styled information presentation. The empirical study was conducted twice; the pilot test and the main test. The samples of experiment are 218 students for the pilot test and 259 students for the main test. The author used K-T DSS and F-N DSS for the pilot test, and the revised K-T DSS and C-E DSS for the main test. A questionnaire survey method was included in the main test process The result of the study shows that the group using DSS in problem diagnosis and definition is more effective than the group not using DSS. A table-styled information presentation DSS, K-T, turns out more effective than a graphic-styled information presentation DSS, F-N, K-T DSS and C-E DSS showed no significant differences in the effectiveness in the main test. These results indicate that the use of DSS in the stage of problem diagnosis and definition is very effective and the methods and types of system design are a significant factors for DSS development.
