In the present study, the flat plate model test method is developed to evaluate the skin friction of the marine coating in the cavitation tunnel. Six-component force balance is used to measure the profile drag of the flat plate and strut. LDV(laser Doppler velocimetry) technique is also employed to evaluate the drag and to figure out the reason of the drag reduction. The flow velocities above the surface can be used to assess the skin friction, combined with direct force measurement. Since the vortical structure in the coherent turbulence structure influences on the skin friction in the high Reynolds number regime, the interaction between the turbulence structure and the surface wall is paying more attention. This sort of thing is important in the passive control of the turbulent boundary layer because the skin friction can't be determined only by wall condition. As complicated flow phenomena exist around a paint film, systematic measurement and analysis are necessary to evaluate the skin friction appropriately.

To improve the total efficiency of centrifugal compressor, it is necessary to reduce the disk friction loss, which is defined as the power loss. In this study, the disk friction loss due to the axial clearance and the surface roughness effect is analyzed and proposed the new empirical equation for the reduction of the disk friction loss. The rotating reference frame technique and the 2-equation k-${\omega}$ SST model using commercial CFD code FLUENT is used for the steady-state analysis of the centrifugal compressor impeller. According to CFD results, the disk friction loss of the impeller is more affected by the surface roughness than the change of the axial clearance. For the minimization of the disk friction loss on the centrifugal compressor impeller, the magnitude of the axial clearance should be designed to the same size compare with theoretical boundary layer thickness and the surface roughness should be minimized.

In the paper, we propose a new method for power optimization that uses path balancing based on stochastic estimation of glitch in Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA). The proposed method estimates the probability of glitch occurrence using tightness probability of each node in timing graph. In addition, we propose efficient gate sizing technique for glitch reduction using accurate calculation of sizing effect in delay considering probability of glitch occurrence. The efficiency of proposed method has been verified on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits with $0.16{\mu}m$ model parameters. Experimental results show up to 8.6% of accuracy improvement in glitch estimation and 9.5% of optimization improvement.

We have designed the system that measure one channel ECG by two electrode and extract real-time EDR with more related resipiration and comportable to subject by using conductive textile. On the assumption that relation between RL electrode and potential measurement electrode is coupled with RC connected model, we designed RL drive output to feedback two electrode for reduction of common mode signal. The conductive textile which was used for two ECG electrode was offered more comfort during night sleep in bed than any other method using attachments. In the method of single-lead EDR, R wave point or QRS interval area could be used for EDR estimation in traditional method, it is, so to speak, the amplitude modulation(AM) method for EDR. Alternatively, R-R interval could be used for frequency modulation(FM) method based on Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia(RSA). For evaluation of performance on AM EDR and FM EDR from 14 subject, ECG lead III was measured. Each EDR was compared with both temperature around nose(direct measurement of respiration) and respiration signal from thoracic belt(indirect measurement of respiration) on mean squared error(MSE), cross correlation(Xcorr), and Coherence. The upsampling interpolation technique of multirate signal processing is applied to interpolating data instead of cubic spline interpolation. As a result, we showed the real-time EDR extraction processing to be implemented at micro-controller.

In the real system environments, the performance of the application is not linearly proportional to the clock frequency of the microprocessor, in contrast to the general assumption of conventional dynamic voltage scaling. In this paper, we analytically model the relation between the performance of the application and the clock frequency of the microprocessor, and introduce the energy-optimal scheduling algorithm for a task set with distinct application characteristics. In addition, we present a theorem for the energy-optimal scheduling, which the derivative of the energy consumption with respect to the execution time should be the same for all the tasks. The proposed scheduling algorithm always generates the energy-optimal scaling factor thanks to the theorem for energy-optimal scheduling. We achieved about 7% additional energy reduction in the experiments using synthetic task sets.

In this paper, a new block-matching algorithm for standard video encoder is proposed. The algorithm finds a motion vector using the increasing SAD transition curve for each predefined candidates, not a coarse-to-fine approach as a conventional method. To remove low-probability candidates at the early stage of accumulation, a dispersed accumulation matrix is also proposed. This matrix guarantees high-linearity to the SAD transition curve. Therefore, base on this method, we present a new fast block-matching algorithm with the slice competition technique. The Candidate Selection Step and the Candidate Competition Step makes an out-performance model that considerably reduces computational power and not to be trapped into local minima. The computational power is reduced by 10%~70% than that of the conventional BMAs. Regarding computational time, an 18%~35% reduction was achieved by the proposed algorithm. Finally, the average MAD is always low in various bit-streams. The results were also very similar to the MAD of the full search block-matching algorithm.

This study deals with the BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based energy performance analysis implemented in EnergyPlus. The BIM model constructed at Revit is updated at Design Builder, adding HVAC models and converted compatibly with the EnergyPlus. We can obtain the input values about HVAC system and building environment such as HVAC system efficient, the number of air changes and energy consumption of equipment on applying GAs (Genetic algorithms). After modification about HVAC system, Optimization about HVAC system energy consumption can be analyzed. In order to maximize the building energy performance, a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization technique is applied to the modified HVAC models. Throughout the proposed building energy simulation, finally, the best optimized HVAC control schedule for the target building can be obtained in the form of "supply air temperature schedule". Throughout the supply air temperature schedule is applied to energy performance simulation, we obtained energy saving effect result on simulation.

Micromechanics is a technique for the analysis of composites or heterogeneous materials which focuses on the components of the intended structure. Each one of the components can exhibit isotropic behavior, but the microstructure characteristics of the heterogeneous material result in the anisotropic behavior of the structure. In this research, the general mechanical properties of a 3D anisotropic and heterogeneous Representative Volume Element (RVE), have been determined by applying periodic boundary conditions (PBCs), using the Asymptotic Homogenization Theory (AHT) and strain energy. In order to use the homogenization theory and apply the periodic boundary conditions, the ABAQUS scripting interface (ASI) has been used along with the Python programming language. The results have been compared with those of the Homogeneous Boundary Conditions method, which leads to an overestimation of the effective mechanical properties. According to the results, applying homogenous boundary conditions results in a 33% and 13% increase in the shear moduli G₂₃ and G₁₂, respectively. In polymeric composites, the fibers have linear and brittle behavior, while the resin exhibits a non-linear behavior. Therefore, the nonlinear effects of resin on the mechanical properties of the composite material is studied using a user-defined subroutine in Fortran (USDFLD). The non-linear shear stress-strain behavior of unidirectional composite laminates has been obtained. Results indicate that at arbitrary constant stress as 80 MPa in-plane shear modulus, G₁₂, experienced a 47%, 41% and 31% reduction at the fiber volume fraction of 30%, 50% and 70%, compared to the linear assumption. The results of this study are in good agreement with the analytical and experimental results available in the literature.

This study evaluates the utility of an antibacterial microneedle composed of green tea extract (GT) and hyaluronic acid (HA), for the efficient delivery of GT. These microneedles have the potential to be a patient-friendly method for the conventional sustained release of drugs. In this study, a fabrication method using a mold-based technique to produce GT/HA microneedles with a maximum area of ${\sim}60mm^2$ with antibacterial properties was used to manufacture transdermal drug delivery systems. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was carried out to observe the potential modifications in the microneedles, when incorporated with GT. The degradation rate of GT in GT/HA microneedles was controlled simply by adjusting the HA composition. The effects of different ratios of GT in the HA microneedles were determined by measuring the release properties. In HA microneedles loaded with 70% GT (GT70), a continuous higher release rate were sustained for 72 h. The in vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that GT/HA microneedles are not generally cytotoxic to chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1), human embryonic kidney cells (293T), and mouse muscle cells (C2C12), which were treated for 12 and 24 h. Antimicrobial activity of the GT/HA microneedles was demonstrated by ~95% growth reduction of gram negative [Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium)] and gram positive bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis)], with GT70. Furthermore, GT/HA microneedles reduced bacterial growth in the infected skin wound sites and improved skin wound healing process in rat model.

Misuse IDS is known to have an acceptable accuracy but suffers from high rates of false alarms. We show a behavior based alarm reduction with a memory-based machine learning technique. Our extended form of IBL, (XIBL) examines SNORT alarm signals if that signal is worthy sending signals to security manager. An experiment shows that there exists an apparent difference between true alarms and false alarms with respect to XIBL behavior This gives clear evidence that although an attack in the network consists of a sequence of packets, decisions over Individual packet can be used in conjunction with misuse IDS for better performance.
