In order to investigate low frequency swishing noise of wind turbines, singularity in circular motion with large radius is introduced as a noise source model. By employing Lowson's acoustic analogy, simple exact solution is obtained. The solution shows that time histories of acoustic pressure at receiver points varied significantly according to receiver's directional location, even when the retarded time distributions are similar. However, the corresponding spectra of sound pressure for the receiver locations where the retarded time distributions are almost the same are not significantly different. It can be inferred from these results that the time-averaged sound pressure spectra which cannot take into account the detailed difference in the time-variation of wind turbine noise may not represent the sound quality of wind turbines due to its swishing.

In this paper, our main purpose is to consider the quasilinear elliptic equation $$div(|{\nabla}u|^{p-2}{\nabla}u)=(p-1)f(u)$$ on a bounded smooth domain ${\Omega}\;{\subset}\;R^N$, where p > 1, N > 1 and f is a smooth, increasing function in [0, ${\infty}$). We get some estimates of a solution u satisfying $u(x){\rightarrow}{\infty}$ as $d(x,\;{\partial}{\Omega}){\rightarrow}0$ under different conditions on f.

A solution method is presented to solve the eigenproblem arising in tile dynamic analysis of non-proportional damping systems with symmetric matrices. The method is based on tile use of Lanczos method to generate a Krylov subspace of trial vectors, witch is then used to reduce a large eigenvalue problem to a much smaller one. The method retains the η order quadratic eigenproblem, without the need to the method of matrix augmentation traditionally used to cast the problem as a linear eigenproblem of order 2n. In the process, the method preserves tile sparseness and symmetry of the system matrices and does not invoke complex arithmetics, therefore, making it very economical for use in solving large problems. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

An effective wet-chemical approach is demonstrated for growing large-area, selectively-patterned, and low-temperature-synthesized ZnO nanorods (ZNRs). The growth of ZNRs was enhanced on a Co layer. The selectivity and density were readily controlled by the control of the temperature when the substrate transfers into aqueous solution. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy image shows that single crystalline ZNRs grown along [0001] have good adhesion at interface between ZNRs/substrate. The turn-on field was 4 $V/{\mu}m$ at the emission current density of 1 ${\mu}A/cm^2$. The stable emission was obtained at 0.11 $mA/cm^2$ under 7.2 $V/{\mu}m$ over 10 hr. These results suggest that selectively-patterned ZNRs have the potential for use as field emitters in large-area field emission displays.

Lagrangian relaxation is the most widely adopted method for solving unit commitment (UC) problems. It consists of two steps: dual optimization and primal feasible solution construction. The dual optimization step is crucial in determining the overall performance of the solution. This paper intends to evaluate two dual optimization methods - one based on subgradient (SG) and the other based on the cutting plane. Large-scale UC problems with hundreds of thousands of variables and constraints have been generated for evaluation purposes. It is found that the evaluated SG method yields very promising results.

Fluorine-19 NMR solution measurements have been made for various phenyl-fluorinated iron porphyrin complexes. Large chemical shifts for phenyl fluorine signals of iron(III) and iron(II) are observed, and these signals are sensitive to electronic structure. The chemical shift differences in ortho-phenyl fluorine signals between high-spin ferric and low-spin ferric tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrins are approximately 40 ppm, whereas the differences are approximately 7 ppm between high- and low-spin states of ferrous tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin complexes. Analysis of fluorine-19 isotropic shifts for the iron(III) tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin using fluorine-19 NMR indicates there is a sizable contact contribution at the ortho-phenyl fluorine ring position. Large phenyl fluorine-19 NMR chemical shift values, which are sensitive to the oxidation and spin states, can be utilized for identification of the solution electronic structures of iron(III) and iron(II) porphyrin complexes.

It is important to minimize the number of disk accesses which is necessary to transfer data in disk into main memory when processing transactions in physical database design. A vertical file partitioning method is used to reduce the number of disk accesses by partitioning relations vertically and accessing only necessay fragments. In this paper, SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Maps) network is used to solve vertical partitioning problems. This paper shows that SOFM network is efficient in solving vertical partitioning problem by comparing approximate solution of SOFM network with optimal solution of N-ary branch and bound method. And this paper presents a heuristic algorithm for allocating duplicate attributes to vertically partitioned fragments. As branch and bound method requires particularly much computing time to solve large-sized problems, it is shown that SOFM network is able to overcome this limitation of branch and bound method and solve large-sized problems efficiently in a short time.

This paper considers two-sided (left and right side) assembly lines which are often used, especially in assembling large-sized products such as trucks and buses. A large number of exact algorithms and heuristics have been proposed to balance one-sided lines. However, little attention has been paid to balancing two-sided assembly lines. We present an efficient algorithm based on a branch and bound for balancing two-sided assembly lines. The algorithm involves a procedure for generating an enumeration tree. To efficiently search for the near optimal solutions to the problem, assignment rules are used in the method. New and existing bound strategies and dominance rules are else employed. The proposed algorithm can find a near optimal solution by enumerating feasible solutions partially. Extensive computational experiments are carried out to make the performance comparison between the proposed algorithm and existing ones. The computational results show that our algorithm is promising and robust in solution quality.

This paper considers the problem of existence and exponential stability of almost periodic solution for shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with distributed delays and large impulses. Based on the contraction principle and Gronwall-Bellman's inequality, some sufficient conditions are obtained. The results of this paper are new and they complement previously known results.

We investigated the possibility of introducing functional groups without damaging surface polymeric chains through the treatment of a polypropylene(PP) film immersed in liquid phase using an atmospheric pressure plasma with large area. The ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate: $[BMIM]^{+}[BF_{4}]^{-}$- was successfully applied for generating stable plasmas in the plasma-solution system. We successfully treated the film surface using the plasma-solution system and confirmed various oxygen-containing functional groups formed on the surface of PP film. The surface free energy of PP film was increased with increasing plasma treatment time and power. It also showed a maximum value at the PP sample treated in the ionic liquid solution of 1.5 M. ATR-FTIR analyses revealed the increase of various carbonyl groups(1,726 $cm^{-1}$, 1,643 $cm^{-1}$) and OH groups$(3,100{\sim}3,500\;cm^{-1})$ after plasma treatment of PP film, and XPS also supported the ATR-FTIR result.
